Chapter 257: Blood Sacrifice and the Stunning Man
The Ancestor of the Yue Family and the scholar waited for a while before the Young Lord of the Ghost Spirit Sect and Yan Ruyan entered the council hall.
“Since our Yan Family has already agreed to submit to your sect, Young Lord, do you have any further instructions?” This time, the Yan Family Ancestor’s tone was noticeably more gentle than before, clearly mindful of the fact that the Yan Family would soon become part of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
“Senior Yan, there’s no need to be so formal. Since Miss Ruyan and I have exchanged the life and death curse, that can be considered as setting our marriage agreement! In the future, you can just call me Wang Chan, no need to address me as Young Lord,” Wang Chan said with a light bow, his gracefulness shining through.
“That won’t do. Until you and Yan’er are officially married, I can’t allow such disrespect towards the Young Lord. After all, the Yan Family is about to become part of the Ghost Spirit Sect,” the Yan Family Ancestor said, stroking his short beard expressionlessly and shaking his head in objection.
Hearing this, the Young Lord of the Ghost Spirit Sect realized that their distrust was not fully dispelled, so he stopped pressing and smiled gently before speaking again:
“Actually, the reason I asked Miss Ruyan to bring me here to see the Ancestor once more is to ask how you plan to fulfill the agreement. After all, in five days, the six demon sects will officially launch their attack on Yue Country. If the Yan Family doesn’t evacuate this place in time, it could cause serious trouble.”
“You can rest assured on that matter, Young Lord. Although it seems like the Yan Family has many members, some are distant relatives on the outskirts without any magical power, basically ordinary people. We will abandon those. It’s simply unrealistic to move everyone all at once! The Yan Family understands this very well,” the scholar quickly interjected.
“It’s commendable that the Yan Family is so prudent. That reassures me. After all, if too many people act at once, the Seven Sects will surely catch wind of it. That would be disastrous! This must be the famous and meticulous Mr. Xuan Ye of the Yan Family. I’ve long heard of your renown,” the Young Lord said with a light laugh, eyes behind his mask scanning the scholar.
The scholar felt a chill in his heart when the other called him by both name and nickname at once, but maintained a calm smile on his face.
The junior was not just here about this matter, but wanted to know how the Yan Family planned to deal with the more than two hundred foundation establishment stage cultivators currently in the fortress—many of whom were core disciples of the Seven Sects! The Yan Family must relocate within two days, and if these cultivators discovered this, it could be very problematic,” the Young Lord said calmly, but his words caused the faces of the Yan Family Ancestor and the scholar to change.
“So, Young Lord means…” the Yan Family Ancestor said darkly.
“How about this: practicing the blood spirit great technique requires the soul and spirit of cultivators for a blood sacrifice to begin properly. Why not use the Ghost Spirit Sect’s Yin Fire Great Formation to liquefy the bodies of all these cultivators in the fortress, leaving only their souls for Miss Ruyan to use in foundation establishment? With so many thick, condensed souls, the young lady should be able to easily complete the first stage of the blood spirit great technique,” the Young Lord casually proposed a cruel suggestion, sending a chill through the scholar and Yan Family Ancestor.
“No, forget the Seven Sects! The other cultivators from various countries came here because we invited dual cultivation partners for Ruyan. The Yan Family must never commit such an act that would anger so many!” The scholar was alarmed and quickly spoke, fearing the Yan Family Ancestor might agree.
“Xuan Ye, don’t be anxious! I’m not so old and muddled,” the Yan Family Ancestor said with a grim face, waving a hand at the scholar.
