Chapter 562 Great Changes in Sacrifice
According to Haihan's memory, the black energy came from a unique space and hovered over this hellish city.

Hai Sai built a cave here in the past, and later developed it into a city, just to hide and protect this space. The huge city lord's mansion is actually a formation to hide and restrain this space.

The so-called restraint is because this space is independent of the deep sea and is unstable and drifting around. Haisai uses a magic circle to lock it down, just like pulling a kite with a rope.

Xie Huan judged that the secret of dark energy could definitely be found in that space.

"What about Hai Shan?"

Long Xiu asked after listening to Xie Huan's story.

Xie Huan's eyes darkened, and he said, "This is a long story. To put it briefly, I have a grudge against her husband and killed him. She was very traumatized, so she asked Hai Mo, the lord of the Hell City, to use the black energy to perform a sacrifice to revive her husband. The price is to donate her own royal blood to Hai Han to help him achieve a stronger royal blood."

"Resurrection? Is it possible?"

Long Xiu asked curiously.

"It's unlikely. I have shattered her husband's soul and spirit. Even an immortal can't save him."

"That means she was deceived when her royal blood was drawn?"

"Well, Hai Mo didn't want to help her at all, mainly because he couldn't help her at all. Seeing that she was crazy and basically useless, he decided to make use of the waste. The royal blood must not be wasted. Hai Shan has the same royal blood as them, and they are even related, so she took the initiative to sacrifice herself to make Hai Han successful."

"Tsk, tsk, what a sad story. You are the instigator of this tragedy."

Long Xiu said sarcastically.

"Humph."

Xie Huan snorted and said no more.

……

The dark space is boundless and has no end.

Hai Shan was like a fallen leaf, floating in the darkness. She had no strength left in her body and seemed like she would die at any moment.

Her consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, but suddenly her mind became clear, as if she had woken up from a dream. She quickly reached out with her five fingers and grabbed another rough hand, then she relaxed.

She felt that she was about to die. During the sacrifice, not only the royal blood was drained away, but also her vitality. At this moment, her hair was as pale as snow and fluttered behind her. Her azure blue eyes also lost their luster and turned gray-brown. Her skin was as dry as paper, tightly attached to her bones and could break at any time.

Her only strength was still in holding on to that hand tightly. Wei Daying's body was floating beside her. It was her only comfort and source of warmth at the moment.

"I have imagined countless times that I would go back to Haidu with you and live an ordinary life. Whether it is the Jindan stage or the Yuanying stage, as long as the two of us are happy together, it doesn't matter.

"But I didn't expect that after returning to Haidu, you would still suffer from misfortunes and live in misery, and even die tragically in the deep sea."

Haishan's breathing became rapid, her face flushed, and her lips trembled slightly.

She was filled with resentment and despair, but her life was like a candle in the wind and could be extinguished in the next second.

"It's ridiculous that I don't even know who my enemy is."

Haishan cried in pain, two lines of tears streaming down her face.

"You didn't want to tell me the name of my enemy, and you wanted me to live happily. But without you, how can I be happy and live?"

Hai Shan smiled bitterly, turned around and looked at Wei Daying who was floating beside her. He had changed into new clothes and wiped his face clean.

She turned around, hugged the corpse, and slowly closed her eyes.

So what if you are unwilling?
Who can fight against fate?

"Being able to die together is another ending I like."

Hai Shan let go of the obsession in her heart and felt the last warmth in her arms, even though the body was already cold.

"Ugh."

A sigh came from the darkness, saying, "Brother Mo, she is our sister after all. You have taken her royal blood and life force, can't you really help her?"

"She brought this upon herself, who can she blame?"

Another voice snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I took the royal blood because I didn't want the pearl to be covered in dust. I wanted to let this useless person of hers play a little more role. As for helping her, you didn't even look at what she wanted. How can you revive a dead human?"

"I remember that there is a sacrifice method in the Hell City, which can revive the dead and turn flesh into bones. Could it be that the rumors are untrue?"

"Sacrifice is not a panacea. This human corpse has had its soul shattered. Even if an immortal came, there is no way it could be resurrected."

"Then at least help her find the real culprit, so that the couple can die in peace."

"Brother Yin, I think it's you who wants to find out the real culprit? We suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle of the Ancient Beast Islands, and our secret trade with the human race was plotted against, causing the human race to dive into the deep sea. If you bring these two great achievements back to Haidu, even if it's you, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape with the consequences."

These two people were none other than Hai Mo, the lord of Hell City, and Hai Yin who had come to seek refuge there.

"Ahem, this is one of the reasons. Putting aside my personal merits and demerits, shouldn't we investigate thoroughly if a human dives into the deep sea? Brother Mo is also a member of the royal family, so he should do his best."

"Did I not try my best? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. From the time you defected to now, the entire city has been under tighter and tighter control, and all the teleportation arrays have been blocked. Do you know how much I lose every day?"

Hai Mo said with a gloomy face and dissatisfaction.

"That person was able to escape from my hands. His strength is unimaginable. I feel that he is no longer an ordinary god. I hope Brother Mo can be more cautious. It would be best if we can use the sacrifice method of this space to see for ourselves."

Hai Yin said slowly, "And if I hadn't persuaded Sister Hai Shan, how could Nephew Han Xian have obtained the royal blood and vitality so smoothly? Speaking of which, I feel guilty towards Sister Hai Shan. At least I can help her find the real murderer and avenge her. I hope Brother Mo will do it."

Hai Mo pondered for a moment, then his expression softened. He said, "That's right. For your sake, I will use my power of sacrifice. You should know that the price of this sacrifice is very high. I heard that you have a few pieces of blood coral marrow. It just so happens that Han'er has absorbed the royal blood of this girl, so it can be used."

Hein cursed in his heart, the price of blood coral marrow was extremely high, even he was reluctant to use it, and kept it as a treasure, how did he get to know the news?

Greedy guy!
Hai Yin was extremely reluctant and dissatisfied. He had helped Hai Shan a lot by lobbying her, but she was actually blackmailing him. However, when he thought about his failure, he was afraid that he would suffer a bad fate when he returned, so he could only reluctantly give up and said, "Okay, as long as the real murderer can be found and Hai Shan can be avenged, I will definitely offer three pieces of blood and marrow."

"Haha, don't blame me for being greedy, brother Yin. All parents in the world are pitiful. Who doesn't want their children to be good? Han'er's talent is far beyond his peers. Maybe he can win a seat on the Coral Throne for my Hell City in the future."

Hai Mo finally smiled.

Take advantage of all the advantages and get things done efficiently.

He made hand gestures in front of his body and chanted an incantation. Ancient syllables rang out in the dark space. The mysterious atmosphere became increasingly intense, and a deeper power surged in the darkness.

Hein perked up, opened his eyes wide and looked carefully.

He had also heard about the source of the power of the Hell City, and after seeing it with his own eyes today, he did not dare to be careless.

The space changed dramatically during the spell, as if various twists and turns occurred, and vaguely, it seemed as if something appeared.

The seal in Hai Mo's hand changed, and three dark golden flags appeared and shot forward.

The flag was filled with chilling wails and countless souls flew out of the flag and were sucked into the dark space. In an instant, the entire space became noisy, filled with sounds of pain and despair, as well as countless distorted faces flying around, and finally being sucked into the deep darkness.

Hein's face was calm, without any ripples.

He knew that this kind of sacrifice was either life or soul, and the number was often unimaginable.

"Lord of Darkness, please abide by the contract we made that year. After enjoying the sacrifices brought by the descendants of Haisai, please reveal to us the murderer who killed this man."

Hai Mo said in a serious tone, then pointed at Wei Daying.

Hein's pupils shrank, and he saw a big hand appear in the darkness, grabbing Wei Daying's body, and then gently squeezing it, and the body shattered into pieces with a "bang".

It seemed as if there was a force inside that was absorbed by the big hand.

Hiding in another place in the dark space, Long Xiu glanced at Xie Huan beside him. The look in his eyes seemed to say, you are going to be caught.

The two of them sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion moments ago, and entered this dark place before Hai Mo and Hai Yin. Because of the dark energy and the fact that Hai Mo would never expect outsiders to come in, they have been safe and sound.

Xie Huan's eyes gradually became sharp.

The black cracks in the treasure flower space were already crawling on the ground and trembling, proving that this power was indeed the dark skeleton.

His mind raced. Since An Hai was in the City of Hell, there was no need to go to Haidu.

You can join forces with Long Xiu, snatch the Dark Remains, send the two brothers Hai Mo and Hain to death, destroy the entire Hell City, and then escape from the deep sea.

As for whether An Hai can really find out that he is the murderer, it doesn’t matter at all.

The only key point now is whether Long Xiu is willing to take this path. After all, Long Xiu’s goal is the ancient ruins in Haidu.

He looked at Long Xiu.

Long Xiu read his thoughts from his eyes and was slightly hesitant.

Suddenly, a scream was heard: "Daying!——"

Hai Shan, who was dying, rushed towards the big hand like crazy, shouting: "Give it back to me! Give Daying back to me!"

She pushed her body against the big hand and was grabbed by it. She cried and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Hai Mo frowned slightly, and two murderous auras shot out of his eyes.

The sacrifice was extremely important and had never been interrupted before. Now that Hai Shan had interrupted him, he felt a little worried. He turned to Hai Yin and said, "I have never encountered such an emergency before. If the sacrifice fails, you can't blame me."

What he meant was, if you fail, you still have to give your three blood coral marrows.

Hein had a gloomy face and groaned, but said nothing.

Hai Shan was caught in a big hand, but was not crushed like Wei Daying. Instead, she gradually lost her life, stagnated, and her body turned black little by little. Even her pale hair began to turn like ink.

The entire space was centered on Haishan, and a strange energy surged. The big hand was like a huge pipe, continuously pouring black energy into Haishan's body.

"what happened?"

Hai Mo's face changed drastically, and he asked in shock: "Lord of Darkness, what are you doing?"

There was no echo, and the energy in Haishan's body surged stronger and stronger, forming a black vortex of light and dark, from which came a breathtaking sense of oppression.

"Not good! An Hai is using her body to regenerate. Stop her quickly, or she will take away all the energy in this space!"

Xie Huan's right pupil was shining with silver light, and he immediately saw the clue and shouted hurriedly.

"Who?!"

Hai Mo and Hai Yin just then noticed there was someone there, and they both shouted in surprise.

The figures of Xie Huan and Long Xiu emerged from the darkness. Both of them were from the shrimp family, one big and one small. Xie Huan looked like a lobster and Long Xiu looked like a mantis shrimp.

Xie Huan said, "Don't worry about who I am. If you still want this space to exist, quickly find a way to stop the possession."

"Why should I trust you?"

Hai Mo shouted with a gloomy face.

The realms of these two shrimp tribes are only at the Jindan stage, but it is obviously impossible.

And how long have they been in this space?

This made Hai Mo extremely fearful.

"Believe it or not, just feel the energy in this space yourself. It is rapidly decreasing and will soon disappear. If I am not mistaken, this entire space is the body of the so-called 'Lord of Darkness', and we are inside its shell."

Xie Huan said with a sneer, looking like he was watching a show.

Hai Mo was anxious and angry. He clearly felt that it was just as Xie Huan said. Even the space was deforming, as if it wanted to squeeze into Hai Shan's body.

"Brother Yin, please lend me a hand!"

Hai Mo shouted hurriedly, not bothering to find out the identities of Xie Huan and the other person. His eyes focused and the energy in his body surged violently. Under his control, it turned into a black vortex, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy and compressing it into his palm.

His energy was somewhat similar to the surrounding ones. When he extracted it, it actually slowed down the speed at which Haishan was infusing her body.

Then his face darkened and he swung his palm suddenly. A dark golden light shot out from the vortex like lightning.

Hein also took action. Countless water elements appeared in the darkness and condensed into a ball under the spell. Runes surged on it and it flew out like a meteor.

There was a silver light flashing in Xie Huan's right eye as he looked at Hai Shan carefully.

The purpose of his appearance was to let the two brothers take the lead and test Haishan's current condition.

After all, he had seen the power of the God's Heart and the Earth's Soul. If Dark Corpse was the same as them, he might be reduced to ashes in one move.

The dark golden beam of light and the ripple water ball immediately reached Haishan. The big hand that had disappeared reappeared and turned into a dark mountain with five fingers, blocking Haishan.

"Boom!"

The two men's all-out attacks were completely blocked by the giant hand.

The terrifying energy spread out, the space shook violently, and a large number of cracks began to appear.

Just as Hai Mo and Hein were in shock, a black light emerged from the palm of the big hand, shining like a cross, enveloping the two of them.
