Ye Jia suddenly stopped in his steps.
Something isn’t right.In the darkness ahead, the malice he could sense was rapidly disappearing
..It was almost as if they had disappeared in thin air.Ye Jia gritted his teeth, raised his eyes and glanced above him.Although this may alert the ghosts in M City, but
..He cannot delay this any longer.A large scythe appeared in his hand, the blade flashing an icy light in the dark. The moment it fell, the wall before him split apart and collapsed, scattering dust everywhere.Not far ahead was a very deep pit.Ye Jia stopped just before it and looked down.It was pitch-black, as if there was no end to it. Thick smell of malice emanated from within the soil but Ye Jia knew very well that there was nothing under there.Ye Jia stared blankly at the darkness below while that same darkness looked back at him. Like a lone eye, it quietly stared at the young man standing before it.
..What’s going on?Without starting the blood sacrifice process, Mother wouldn’t go out of her way to divert the malice out.Could his plans have been discovered?Impossible.Ye Jia firmly denied this possibility.If they had really found out, there wouldn’t be anyone here in this place right now.But Mother wouldn’t start the blood sacrifice process without his presence. He was one of the key components
.The next second, Ye Jia seemed to have suddenly realised something. His pupils instantly constricted.It was as if an ice pick had plunged into the gap in his spine. A cold chill immediately ran through him, making him tremble.He slowly raised his head and touched his lips with his cold fingers.The place he was bitten yesterday had already recovered.All the clues he had overlooked instantly came together in Ye Jia’s mind.Ye Jia quickly looked into the darkness, his sharp gaze penetrating through all physical and non-physical matter like a sharp knife.His mind quickly reached a conclusion.The time
..It’s too late..
The pool of blood continued to surge and bubble. The ground shook. The clouds above were thick and dark, resembling waves.The concentration of yin energy and malice in the air was so thick, it made it almost impossible to breathe.All the humans present stood there with wide eyes and pale faces. They stared in shock at the terrible scene before them, feeling fear from the deepest part of their souls.How

.terrifying.Although Blast and Chen Qingye had had their fair share of experience in the game, their expressions were equally as poor. The sense of crisis they had cultivated in battle cried out non-stop but it was as if their feet were firmly planted onto the ground and they were unable to take even half a step.At this moment, Chen Qingye suddenly felt something pulling his arm.Wei Yuechu winked at him.“!” Chen Qingye’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief.This
.What’s going on?And where did she come from?Wei Yuechu quickly held the other party down and made a ‘shush’ gesture:“Hurry. The blood sacrifice ritual is about to start. All the humans in this area must leave or they’ll be dragged in.”This was her mission this time.If one of Ji Xuan’s ghost subordinates were given this task, it would be difficult for it to gain the Bureau’s trust so this task could only be given to someone they were familiar with.The shadow ghost who had been sent over by Ji Xuan and had been fighting against them until now secretly gave them a signal.----Now.Blast and Chen Qingye took one last look at the churning pool of blood ahead before reluctantly following Wei Yuechu with the other people from the Bureau ---- The girl’s movements were light and quick and she appeared to be very familiar with the area. Very clearly, careful planning had been done. She secretly led them away from the pool of blood in the most inconspicuous way.The tremors grew more intense.The ground cracked open and scarlet liquid flowed out. Dark mist from the malice floated in the air.Below it was the boundary between the other side and the real world.Ji Xuan lowered his head and looked at this thin boundary. Mother’s scarlet and fleshy limbs continued to squirm about, waiting for the right moment to break through the barrier.The energy in him was being sucked out. From the soles of his feet, he could feel himself losing strength. A cold chill ran up through him like a snake.He imperceptibly hooked up the corners of his lips as a cold light flashed across his scarlet eyes.Almost there.Mother’s human body was suspended in mid-air with her eyes slightly lowered. The blood vessels under her pale skin continued to wriggle. Her expression was calm as she slowly raised her hand. The pool of blood below here quickly evaporated.Her pupils immediately constricted and her actions suddenly came to a stop.Mother looked over at Ji Xuan, her usually calm and serene face turning fierce, “YOU-----”Ji Xuan was shocked.
The next second, before he could react, fleshy tentacles suddenly burst out from underground, wrapping around his neck.Ye Jia who stood beside him was pulled up like a kite, causing his tall figure to suddenly tear and turn into a doll the size of one’s palm that was then torn to pieces.“How dare you!!!” The mother’s expression was particularly hideous. Her features contorted with rage as scarlet liquid seemed out from under her skin.The fleshy tentacles continued to hold Ji Xuan up in the air. It then did its best to twist him with great force.One could almost hear the numerous cracks from the bones breaking and then healing again.Under severe pain, Ji Xuan clenched his teeth tightly. His body was still weak from the blood sacrifice just now and he was unable to counterattack.Why?The blood sacrifice ritual clearly wasn’t over yet. How did Mother find out about his plans?“You are really bold.” Mother’s voice was harsh, “Well then, I believe you have prepared yourself for the consequences--------”Countless fleshy tentacles appeared from the groundIn the darkness, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air suddenly sounded.An arc resembling icy cold moonlight lightly passed through the air, as if it was a soft kiss descending from the sky. It however contained a deadly air.The next moment, blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The fleshy tentacle wrapped around Ji Xuan’s neck also fell limp.Ji Xuan fell from the air.A young man appeared from within the darkness, his body carrying a bloody air. His arm wrapped around Ji Xuan’s waist and he proceeded to bring him away from the pool of blood.The two landed on the ground not far away from it.Ji Xuan was still in a stunned state.He looked over, “You
..”His hoarse voice was caught in his throat as his eyes fell on the other party’s shirt that was wet with blood.Blood had soaked through all the layers of his clothes and the front was torn, revealing a bloody chest.Ji Xuan could feel the other person’s warmth.And the other party’s scent
.It was the smell of a human.----He now realised what had happened..The young man stood quietly in front of the dark pit.The pit before him still smells heavily of malice.Even if he set off immediately and hurried to the place of the blood sacrifice, he wouldn’t make it.
The only thing that could be stopped now was the blood sacrifice ritual
..He would need to make Mother voluntarily stop it.Ye Jia raised his hand and placed it over his chest.------ “This lump of flesh must be taken out at the very end because Mother will be alerted as soon as it is taken out.”She would immediately realise where her other direct descendent actually is.Between Ye Jia’s fingers, a cold light shone.The sharp edge of a blade cut through his skin, causing scarlet blood to gush out of the wound and soak through his clothes.The young man’s face was cold and pale. His eyes that were slightly lowered and hidden under his long eyelashes gradually returned to the original amber colour.His breathing was heavy but his fingers were calm and steady.It’s okay.Just
.dig it out..Ji Xuan felt his throat tighten.It hurts.It was like there was a knife embedded into his chest and constantly being twisted around.This kind of pain was a thousand times more terrifying than what he experienced just now, leaving him in a trembling state.It hurts.He raised his hand, his fingers visibly trembling as it lingered in the air.Ji Xuan gritted his teeth but he was too afraid to move his hand any closer.He had never felt this way before.So unfamiliar, so terrifying, so
..scary.“Does it
.hurt?” The man’s voice was a little hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been cut with a dull knife. Each word was filled with pain and even when he breathed, he could feel a bloody taste spread through him.Ye Jia turned and glanced at him.His face was pale and ashen. He looked more like a ghost than a human. There was still cold sweat on his forehead and dried blood on his lips.The next moment, the young man lifted his foot and kicked Ji Xuan’s stomach.The other party who was caught off-guard collapsed onto the ground half a metre away.Ji Xuan looked up blankly.Ye Jia’s voice was cold:“You deceived me?”His knuckles crackled. He seemed to be extremely angry.
----- Saying that they can wait until everything is over was actually a lie.What a slick liar.Ji Xuan, “
.”He suddenly laughed but his tone was gentle, as if he was about to shed tears:“Isn’t gege the same?”You promised that we won’t ever separate yet you secretly got ready to sacrifice yourself.We’re all liars.“Ahhhhhhhhhh----------”Mother suddenly let out a furious roar. The pool of blood that had half evaporated by now settled down and malice flowed back into the ground. The opening between the other side and this world had been closed --- The blood sacrifice ritual had been forcibly put to a stop and there was no way of recovering the energy that was lost so if she didn’t forcibly stop it, she would definitely end up being dragged back to the other side.Right now, although she is still in the real world, she only had at most half of her original strength.Mother’s long black hair emanated a bloody air. Her pair of scarlet eyes bulged out as she glared at the two people before her. Her body twisted and distorted and soon her human shell changed into something that no longer looked human.“You dare go against your own Mother--------”Ye Jia narrowed his eyes.In his hand, a large crescent shaped scythe appeared, “I’ll settle accounts with you later.”Ye Jia turned to Ji Xuan and held out a hand.“Come.”Ji Xuan was startled. He slowly raised his hand and held the other person’s hand.The heat belonging to a human was almost hot enough to scald him. This head penetrated straight into the depths of his soul.For the first time in a very long time, he recalled the time before he became a fierce ghost.In the dark night, with his fingers stained with blood and his feet stepping on a ghost’s head, he stood alone in the cold and empty ancestral hall, waiting for the warmth that would never come.All the things he had managed to capture had been forcibly taken from him.Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.The other party’s fingers that fell into his hand tightened and pulled him up.The blood on their hands mixed together, as if whispering a language that has been known to mankind since ancient times:Together forever.------This time, he won’t be abandoned.
