NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 219: Two Million Sacrifices
"Luo Fu, I'm here to fulfill our deal," said Mao Hu, his face expressionless as he looked at the young man from the Bloodsucker Demon Sect.
"Mao Hu, I'm glad to see you again, even more so to see that you've upheld your end of the deal," Luo Fu said, his lips curling into a sinister smile, "and brought me nearly two million sacrifices!"
His words echoed across the plains, reaching the ears of the army below. The prisoners had already expected their fate and trembled in fear, but the soldiers from the Mao Empire were caught off guard.
"What? Two million? But… we only brought about a million… right?"
Confusion spread among them, but the sharper ones quickly grasped the implication and attempted to escape.
Unfortunately, how could Luo Fu let such precious sacrifices slip away? With a flick of his sleeve, a massive formation activated, enclosing the entire army in an unbreakable barrier.
The thousand cultivators behind Luo Fu moved into position, forming a tight encirclement around the trapped soldiers. These weren't just ordinary fighters, the weakest among them was at the Dao Seeking realm!
Even without the formation, such a force could have easily annihilated the army. Each cultivation realm was like an insurmountable gulf, and the soldiers below barely had a dozen Dao Seeking cultivators among them.
Against a force filled with Dao Seeking and Return To Void experts, they stood no chance.
Mao Hu had been careful not to bring his strongest subordinates.
"This bastard is inhumane… he's even killing his own people!" Mao Shun growled, barely able to contain his rage.
Feng Fan narrowed his eyes. 'Mao Hu is more cunning than I thought. By eliminating every participant in this event, he ensures there's no one left to betray him and informs the Dao Seeking School. Truly ruthless.'
The thousand evil cultivators surrounding the army pressed their hands together, chanting in unison. The strange incantation reverberated through the air, like a prayer to an unknown god.
Feng Fan shuddered as he felt a shift in the Dao Laws of the domain.
The sinister energy he had sensed earlier now surged toward the army.
Then, the horror began.
Blood seeped from the seven orifices of every soldier and prisoner trapped inside the formation. Their life essence rose into the air, merging into a massive sphere of blood that hovered ominously above the plains.
After everyone inside perished, the chanting stopped, and the array dissolved. The only thing left beneath the massive blood sphere was a field of dried carcasses, their bodies completely drained of blood and qi.
Yu Fu turned to Mao Hu with a smile—calm, almost friendly, as if he hadn't just orchestrated the slaughter of two million people.
"With this, my God's clone can finally descend. Once he wipes out everyone in the Dao Seeking School, we win the war. Just as promised, half of their high-grade spiritual qi stone mines will be yours."
Feng Fan's expression darkened. 'Summoning their god? A cultivator from a higher realm?'
Even if it was just a clone, a cultivator who had transcended Immortal Ascension could likely annihilate everyone in the Dao Seeking School with a mere flick of his sleeve.
Feng Fan had seen enough. He stopped recording and handed the orb to Su Xiaoli.
"Xiao'er, Xue'er, Qinqin, Mao Shun, listen carefully," he said, his tone grave. "Go to the Dao Seeking School and find Luo Rong and Long Liu. They're trustworthy and will help fight against the Bloodsucker Demon Sect. But don't reveal anything to anyone else, I'm sure the Mao Empire has moles inside the school. I'll find a way to stop the Bloodsucker Demon Sect myself. If we don't act now… there won't be another chance."
"No!" Xue Qiang immediately objected. "I won't let you do this. It's suicide! If you're going, then I'm coming with you."
"Brother Fan, Xue Qiang is right," Mao Shun added. "Let's go to the Dao Seeking School together. They have stronger cultivators who can stop the Bloodsucker Demon Sect. You can't do this alone."
Huang Xue and Su Xiaoli nodded, showing they were also against Feng Fan's plan.
But Feng Fan shook his head. "We don't have time. I'll find a way. A round trip to the Dao Seeking School could take too long. By then, our only option might be to abandon the Black Turtle Continent."
"Brother Feng, I—" Mao Shun hesitated, struggling with his words.
Feng Fan saw their concern and gave them a reassuring smile. "Hey, I'm not planning to die, alright? I have no intention of dying anytime soon. But going alone makes it easier for me to escape."

Xue Qiang's eyes filled with tears, and without warning, she hugged him tightly. "Fanfan, I love you. If you die, I'll kill myself and find you on the other side."
Then, she kissed him deeply.
Huang Xue and Su Xiaoli didn't hold back either, embracing him in turn. With that, the decision was made.
Huang Xue, Su Xiaoli, Xue Qiang, and Mao Shun would go to the Dao Seeking School to warn them about the Bloodsucker Demon Sect and the Mao Empire's plans. Meanwhile, Feng Fan would do whatever it took to stop them.
As Feng Fan talked with his team, another conversation continued nearby.
"I must return to my sect with the offering and complete the ritual," Yu Fu said. He turned to Mao Hu and Luo Liqin. "Would my son-in-law and daughter like to accompany me?"
Mao Hu nodded before turning to his four women, excluding Luo Liqin. "You go back first."
They obeyed without hesitation, leaving only him and Luo Liqin behind.
Luo Liqin gazed at the massive blood sphere hovering in the air, her eyes filled with fanaticism. "Thank you for inviting me, Father. I would have hated to miss such a glorious event."
Luo Fu chuckled, his expression softening as he looked at his daughter. "Of course, dear. I raised you myself—how could I not know your tastes? You even drained your mother dry the moment you were born… truly a special child."
