I am the only devil in the whole world of cultivation

Chapter 52 Blood Altar
The smell of blood lingering at the tip of his nose mixed with rotten stench forced Xie Zhengliu to open his eyes.

The cave was brightly lit, and the screams and noises in his ears were intertwined. If it weren't for the strong smell of blood that couldn't be avoided, Xie Zhengliu would have almost thought he was in a busy city.

After a little time to adjust to the dazzling light above her head, she quickly saw clearly where she was now - there were a hundred iron cages hanging on the two large blood pools inside the cave, and the iron cages contained those who had been killed these days. Mortals and monks taken away by the shadows.

Xie Zhengliu at this moment is also one of them.

The sounds she heard before were all coming from the mouths of these people, the mortals shouting out of fear, the monks shouting out of anger.

Xie Zhengliu calmly took stock of the surrounding environment and quickly found his two friends who were tied to a stone pillar near the blood pool and seemed to be unconscious.

The space inside the cave is large enough to build two blood pools and an altar inside.

The red lines on the altar seemed to be painted with blood, but because Xie Zhengliu's position was too far away, she couldn't recognize what the formation was used for.

Directly opposite the altar is the white-haired old man's throne. Although Xie Zhengliu didn't understand why he built a throne studded with gold and jade in such a simple cave, the old man sitting on it was obviously very happy.

Densely packed black shadows crawled obediently at his feet, forming a black "carpet" that seemed to be surrounding the old man.

The middle-aged man was standing next to the old man humbly, waiting for his orders.

"Have you counted all the people, are you sure you have gathered enough fifty pure yins and fifty pure yangs?" The old man asked again worriedly. Obviously what he wanted to do next was to compete with Xie for these sacrifices. Quality has a lot to do with it.

The middle-aged man quickly assured: "Don't worry, City Lord, we have confirmed it again and again. Even the demon blood in the two pools was poured into it personally by my subordinates."

Is everything under her feet covered in demon blood?

No wonder this cave is not only full of blood, but also full of demonic energy.

"Very good, you did a good job!" The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, when this ceremony is successfully completed, I will support you to become the new city lord of Crying Ghost City."

The middle-aged man raised his head suddenly, a flash of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes, as if he finally got what he had been waiting for.

After hearing their conversation, a cage next to Xie Zhengliu suddenly burst into harsh laughter: "It's so ridiculous. A person who colludes with the demons still wants to become the lord of the Weeping Ghost City? It's really annoying. Laughed off."

The man in the cage looked quite old. He didn't have the aura of a monk at all, and it seemed that his cultivation had been sealed.

But this person's outstanding temperament is very conspicuous, making it easy for people to fall in love with him at first sight.

The man's words angered the middle-aged man, and his resentful eyes shot towards him like a sharp sword: "Zhou Yu, shut up! If you hadn't used the means to make me lose face in front of the master, do you think that this city lord would Pass it on to you? The position of City Lord should have been mine. Once I deal with you all, I will definitely run the Crying Ghost City well, and I will make this city develop better in my hands!"

If Xie Zhengliu remembered correctly, Zhou Yu seemed to be the name of the current Crying Ghost City Lord.So is the man trapped next to her actually the current city lord?
If he is the city lord, then who is the white-haired old man? Why do middle-aged people call him "city lord"?

Xie Zhengliu's mind was full of doubts, but he did not choose to speak rashly at this time. Instead, he allowed the two to continue arguing in order to get more information.

The man named Zhou Yu did not live up to Xie Zhengliu's expectations. Every word he said hurt the middle-aged man's heart: "Su Yu, you are as stupid as your name. I have never touched you. If you try too hard, you will fail in the end just because you are not worthy! You are not worthy of this city, and you are not worthy of the position of city lord. Do you think the monster you follow will let you get what you want in the end? You will only become his servant, I will be controlled by him for the rest of my life!"

"Monster? What an interesting title." The old man didn't take Zhou Yu's insults to heart at all. He slowly stood up from the throne, and the skull staff in his hand emitted a bright blue light.

"I shouldn't be a monster. It's all because of this city that I become what I am now. But it doesn't matter. Soon you will be able to help me return to normal, and I will also get more power!" He opened his arms suddenly, as if crazy.

As he waved the skull staff in his hand, the runes on the altar suddenly lit up red.

The two blood pools received some kind of inspiration at this moment, and the blood inside them continued to roll, and then merged into a blood dragon and poured into another formation carved on the altar.

After being irrigated by an astonishing amount of demon blood, the fiery red runes became even brighter, almost dyeing the entire cave red.

In this strange red light, those mortals burst out with unprecedented loud cries. They did not have the opportunity to move up like the monks, nor were they as naturally powerful as the demons.

They just found a peaceful place on this land and wanted to live like this.

It's just that this world is too dangerous for mortals. Even if they do nothing, danger still finds them.

"My dear mother, please come closer to me and let me hold your hand. If I hold you, you won't be afraid anymore." The man's gentle voice seemed very abrupt among the cries.

When Xie Zhengliu looked over, in the two adjacent cages, a couple was struggling to rely on each other.

Their faces seemed familiar to Xie Zhengliu. After thinking for a long time, she realized that they looked very similar to the little girl she discovered not long ago.

It turns out that they are here.

Xie Zhengliu recalled his promise to the little girl. She moved her wrist and whispered to Ye Huo, who was lazy in her Dantian: You have slept for too long. This time, let me relax your muscles and bones.

The fire of karma jumped twice, and even the flames were much stronger than before. It was obvious that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

But there are still people who are more anxious than Ye Huo.

Almost as soon as the people below started to open the cages one by one and tried to escort the people in the cages to the altar, Zhou Yu's iron cage suddenly fell to the ground.

When the old man heard the noise and looked over, the cage was empty.He frowned and was about to shout out to Su Yu, but a ray of spiritual power suddenly fell from the top of his head.

Zhou Yu timed the attack very well, but he didn't expect that the old man's control over the demons had already exceeded his imagination.

Before this attack even touched the old man, the dark shadow blocked it first.The price was that several black shadows disappeared instantly.

"Su Yu, catch him!" the old man ordered sternly.

His festival has begun, and there must be no surprises here.

However, when all his thoughts were involved with Zhou Yu, no one noticed that the iron cage in the corner had unknowingly opened a big hole.

And the girl who was supposed to be locked inside had already disappeared.
