Chapter 234 The Conman 34
"Heaven and earth are natural, impurities disperse, the cave is mysterious and vast, the primordial energy shines brightly..."
Below, as Bai Qihuai's melodious and ethereal voice rang out, nodes on the great formation lit up one by one.
The demon cores and ghost cores he placed at various nodes also glowed slightly at this moment, forcing out the remaining thoughts within them.
Thus, on this great formation that should have been filled with pure energy, countless distorted and terrified faces suddenly appeared. They rushed toward Bai Qihuai with resentment, but were trapped in place by the formation, and could only rage helplessly, which only aroused their violent energy.
As the cold wind howled, the world darkened, and thunder rumbled in the distance, as if even the heavens were enraged by this cruel scene.
But in Bai Qihuai's eyes, it was the way of Heaven responding to his sacrifice.
His expression brightened, and he pointed to the only empty node in the formation, saying to Bai Chengye, "Stand inside."
Bai Chengye was already stunned by the spectacular scene, and upon hearing his father's words, he asked in astonishment, "Me?"
Although this formation looks magnificent, it has an evil aura. Will he really have any problems standing inside it?
Bai Qihuai said indifferently, "I have gone through countless hardships to communicate with the Heavenly Dao once. This opportunity should have been mine."
His eyes held a stern urging: "Now, I'm giving you this opportunity, what are you hesitating for?!"
"The day to attain immortality and seek the Dao is here! Go now!"
With a cold shout, Bai Chengye seemed to lose control and walked towards the last remaining node.
As soon as he entered, he sensed the infusion of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy, like a river, poured into the small lake in his dantian, making him stronger at a visible speed.
He opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Father."
Bai Qihuai watched this scene with his hands behind his back, not answering his son's joyful shouts, because he knew that joy would soon turn into resentment.
And the reality was exactly as he expected.
The rivers were boundless, but the small lake could only hold so much water. In just a few breaths, Bai Chengye's dantian could no longer withstand the influx of spiritual energy. He felt his body swelling and panicked, wanting to leave the great formation.
However, it felt as if their feet were rooted to the ground, and they couldn't move at all.
That's enough. He's powerful enough now. He can leave!
He wanted to say that to his father, but he saw the coldness in his father's expression.
His tall figure began to swell under the infusion of spiritual energy, and finally...
boom!
The blood mist, accompanied by the white Taoist robe, added a final layer of resentment to this eerie formation.
Like the other demons and ghosts who were also bound, Bai Chengye stood in the formation and looked at his father with resentment.
How could his most trusted father harm him?
"For the sake of my father's great cause, for the sake of humanity's greater good, what's a little sacrifice from you, Chengye?"
As we all know, when someone talks to you about the big picture, it means you're not part of that big picture.
Bai Chengye finally learned this knowledge after his death.
He watched as his father used his flesh and blood to connect with the heavens, and watched as a surge of blood energy rose from this place.
In the subspace, the human cultivators who were watching all of this felt a chill run down their spines.
There are fathers in the world who sacrifice their own children, and who have the heart to watch their bones be reduced to ashes!
How utterly depraved and insane!
"What exactly is he trying to do?" The righteous Taoist priests, seeing this scene, wished they could rush out and kill the old man with their own hands.
The rumbling thunder in the sky filled them with a sense of foreboding, making them wish they could rush out of this space and kill him with a single sword strike.
But now, they are all trapped in this alien space controlled by others, unable to leave.
“Mr. Wu, this…” someone looked at Wu Jin and hesitated, “What if such evil methods cause a huge mess? Should we go and stop them?”
As he spoke, his gaze shifted slightly downwards, avoiding looking at the garish red ropes connecting Wu Jin and Ling Yi's wrists.
He's older, but he used to jump rope as a child—the kind where two people swing a thick rope and a dozen or so people jump together.
To put it another way, that rope wasn't even as thick as the red rope the two of them were wearing right now.
The person who brought these two together must be so afraid they'd break up.
"No need." While he was thinking this to himself, Wu Jin, who was playing a game of push and pull with Ling Yi, calmly denied him.
"Let him go and perform the sacrifice, and see what trouble he can cause."
He glanced meaningfully at the group of humans and demons, and said pointedly, "I need to show you what you can get by using such crooked and evil methods before I can dispel your ulterior motives, right?"
That unfathomable demeanor, that seemingly intelligent person, suggests that he had been trained by someone for a long time.
Upon hearing his words, some people in the crowd had a slight change in expression, but they managed to calm themselves down.
Although they had some thoughts they shouldn't have, they didn't do anything. Wu Jin couldn't be so domineering as to not allow them to have those thoughts at all.
Moreover, his actions were exactly what they were thinking.
Only after seeing Bai Qihuai's fate can they adjust their pace of action.
We can't possibly work hard for over a decade only to have the Heavenly Dao not even give us a second glance, could we? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
Looking at the silly bird's bossy demeanor, Ling Yi couldn't help but secretly beckon him with her finger.
Although he's not very smart, he's honed his acting skills to the point that no one can tell he's a fool.
But in reality, who else besides her would think Wu Jin isn't smart?
Forget about testing him; anyone, whether human or demon, who dared to even glance at him was already reduced to ashes by him.
If he didn't have such violent methods, how could someone who sleeps for nine and a half out of ten years be able to control such a huge management bureau?
Does he rely on others' pity for his small brain?
While everyone on this side had their own thoughts, Bai Qihuai below eagerly stepped onto the spot where Bai Chengye had perished, looking up at the thunderous sky.
"Bai Qihuai offers sacrifices to the great demon ninety-nine eighty-one times, and to his own flesh and blood one time, beseeching Heaven's favor!"
As he spoke, the countless figures struggling within the demon core and behind him all transformed into malevolent energy, shooting towards the sky!
The thunder roared even louder in the sky.
The louder the sound, the more excited Bai Qihuai became.
Such a strong reaction will surely draw out the weakened Heavenly Dao, and then...
In the gloomy sky, a purple lightning bolt suddenly streaked across the heavens, followed by a black thunderbolt that struck down from the thunderclouds at incredible speed.
The rising evil energy seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and was instantly cleaved away.
The black lightning continued to shatter the evil energy, smashing down the great formation and the altar, naturally turning Bai Qihuai, who was standing on it, into ashes.
At the moment when he met the same fate as his son, Bai Qihuai still wore a smug smile.
At this moment, he seemed to begin to imagine the glory of ruling the world.
But the heavens were merciless, turning his dreams and himself into ashes.
