Chapter 79 Sacrifice
After having dinner with Heng Yue in the evening, he still sat as firm as a mountain, staring at me with his eyes as deep as a pool. His scalp was numb and he was almost out of breath. Then he said seriously, "Tomorrow, all the demon world will hold sacrifices. You can’t run around.”

Sacrifice? Could it be that the demon priests used living people as sacrifices?

He didn't let me run around, and he even deliberately warned me that he wouldn't let me go out because he was afraid that I would see something I shouldn't see.

I paid attention in my heart, and my face became more and more submissive and said, "I haven't heard of your sacrifices. I wonder what's so fun about them? Why don't you let me out?"

Heng Yue lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, with a somewhat melancholy look on his face as he said, "The demon clan has been offering sacrifices for thousands of years. It is becoming more and more difficult for the newly born little demons to transform. I pray to God for protection. You'd better stay in the palace." .”

But I know a thing or two about the demon clan's transformation.

You will experience several thunder tribulations before transforming into a human body. After passing the thunder tribulation, you can transform into a human form.

"Then what kind of sacrifice did you use?" I rolled my eyes and quickly tested him.

If it's a human sacrifice, I'd really pay attention.

Heng Yue raised his eyelids and looked at me with a somewhat inquiring expression. I was creeped out by his look.

But I’ve heard of the demon clan’s sacrifices, but I don’t know exactly how to do it.

Heng Yue looked at me for a long time. When I started to sweat all over my body, he suddenly approached me and suddenly said in an evil voice, "Are Qingwan afraid of me?"

My whole body was tense. Except for Yu Xian and I who were closer to the ground in the fantasy world, no one of the opposite sex had ever been so close to me. He was so close that every breath and every breath was filled with his scent.

"No, how could I be afraid of you? It's just that you were too close and I was frightened." I raised the corners of my mouth, stiffened my body, and replied pretending to be relaxed.

Heng Yue looked at me mischievously, "That's why I told Qing Wan not to go out. The sacrifice is a monk who caused trouble in the Monster Clan."

He looked at me as he spoke, with more and more amusement in his eyes, "I caught a trespasser in the cliff cave today. He looks familiar."

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Li Zheng was arrested?
I pursed my lips and forced a smile and said, "The demon clan has always been friendly with the spiritual monks. How could you use the monks as sacrifices? I don't believe it."

He said he didn't believe it, but his heart was agitated.

I pray that Li Zheng will never be caught by them.

Although I know that Qinru is tough on the surface and even arrested Li Xuan, but Qinru did not kill me after the illusion was shattered, which shows that her heart is still soft.

Heng Yue was different. He had been the Demon King for many years. Without the means of thunder, how could he control the ferocious and cruel demons in this demon world?

"Since you don't believe me, why are you so afraid of me?" He raised his hand and gently pulled my hair, and the light in his eyes became different.

I said with a trembling voice, "Tomorrow is the day of the full moon. I heard that you all have to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon on the day of the full moon. Are you offering sacrifices to the moon?"

He seemed surprised that I knew about the day of the full moon and the moon sacrifices.

"Almost, before the full moon. People in the demon tribe will hide, and our demonic nature will be released. I'm afraid of hurting you." He licked his lips, his expression became more and more charming, tempting me I used some force on my hair.

I gently pulled the hair out from his fingertips and said with a smile, "So, if you ask me to hide, where can I hide?"

The most important thing now is to find out whether Li Zheng was really caught by them.

"Don't worry Qingwan, my cultivation will not lose its control on a full moon night. I will ask the other demons to leave the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. You can just hide in the palace." He followed my efforts and opened his hair.

The charm on her face never came back, and she leaned forward against my face.

The nose is still smelling something.

I couldn't help but hide further away, and the stiff smile on my face gradually disappeared, "Heng Yue, I don't like to get too close to others. Can you please stop being so close to me?"

The look on Heng Yue's face became even weirder, and he said with a smile, "In the fantasy, Yu Xian even kissed you, but now you say that you don't like to be too close to others? Are these words only directed at me?"

I forgot about this, but the cosine is different. What should I tell him?

Heng Yue was obviously quite normal before, but he didn't expect that the night of the full moon would have such a big impact on them, making him seem like a different person.

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Heng Yue smiled miserably, "In the illusion, we have been together for many years. I, Heng Yue, have been fond of you for a long time, but I don't know that Qing Wan has never had me in her heart." Heng Yue sat up straight and stared with scarlet eyes. He looked at me, tilted his head and said, "So I can't even talk about Yu Xian's love rival, because you have never taken me to your heart."

I shook my head, "Hengyue, we are friends, don't scare me like this."

Heng Yue pursed his lips and sneered, "Friend..."

He murmured softly, and suddenly he stood up and left the side hall.

Now Li Zheng doesn't know what the situation is. Did Heng Yue lie to me or is it true?

In the past, I only knew that on full-moon nights, the demon clan would absorb the essence of the moon to practice, but I had never heard of human sacrifice!
What if he meant to know that I went to find Li Zheng, and Li Zheng was really caught? what to do.

For a moment, I was confused and overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions.

I was restless until there was no sound from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, and then I quietly went out.

The market during the day was already deserted.

I am also an idiot and have never asked where Li Zheng lives now.
Just then, a demon walked up the street, holding a gong in his hand.

I quickly put on the human skin mask made of breath wood, arranged everything, and then walked out.

The watchman only glanced at me and then turned away, just because the mask I made was a bit unsightly.

These demons also pay too much attention to appearance.

"Can I ask you something?"

The demon struck the gong three times and nodded, "You ask."

"I would like to ask, I bought a realm at this market during the day and then forgot to take it. Do you know where the vendor who bought the realm lives?"

I feel that the lie I made up can indeed be hidden from ordinary monsters.

As expected, the watchdogs all walked around frequently and were particularly familiar with this area.

He nodded and said, "That vendor from Tianji City..."

I nodded happily, now that there is news, it is good news.

He stopped after saying half a sentence. I understood and took out a few medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them to him. I didn't dare to give too high-grade spiritual stones for fear that I would be targeted if I exposed them too much.

Da Geng Yao Dian shook the spirit stone in his hand and raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction, "That hawker closed his stall during the day and disappeared. However, he rented at Fentaohua's house in Taohua Lane. You can go and find out."

After speaking, he pointed to a peach blossom tree not far behind him, "Here, go in there, the third courtyard."

When I heard that Li Zheng had gone out during the day and never returned, I knew that he had probably really been arrested.

When you walk into Peach Blossom Alley, you immediately see the third house. It says Fenyao Family on the cave.

The sects in the demon world are quite casual, and everyone's name is written down.

Knocking on the pink peach flower demon's door, the person who opened the door was a male demon.

She was very charming and looked wary, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for a tenant here." I must have known something, otherwise why would he be like this?

After hearing what I said, he suddenly lost control and said, "I don't have a tenant here, so you can find it elsewhere."

After saying that, I was about to close the door. I raised my hand to stop the door, and then used a body-holding technique to immobilize the Peach Blossom Demon.

Seeing that no one was paying attention in the alley, he ducked into the yard.
