Chapter 226: Sacrifice to the Beast God (26)
Chapter 226: Sacrifice to the Beast God (26)
As Mo Ci and his team spent a whole year persevering in finding places where humans and animals were kept in captivity and rescuing humans and animals from the hands of others, the rumors about them became more and more mysterious.
First, there were rumors that someone was interested in human-animal meat. They first snatched the human-animal meat that had just been obtained, and then snatched human-animal meat from other people and ate it.
Gradually, it became the case that a strong man among humans and beasts came out to save these humans and beasts.
Later, it evolved into a situation where a certain force became jealous of the Wanbao Pavilion and wanted to follow its example and gather those human beasts.
Then they would keep them in captivity and wait for the right opportunity to imitate Wanbao Pavilion and profit from it.
Some of these guesses are pretty accurate, but most of them are a bit far-fetched.
Of course, no matter what they guess or think, it is beneficial to Mo Ci and his group at the moment.
It’s just because of the actions this year that those people or forces that still have human-beast relationships have become alert.
Each of them wanted to make sure the thieves would never come back.
This makes the situation much more difficult.
Even Yan Shuo was almost discovered.
Fortunately, Mo Ci happened to be nearby at the time and took Yan Shuo away in time. Otherwise, not only would the situation have been overturned, but the entire Jiuxuan Sect would have been implicated.
After that, Mo Ci asked Yan Shuo and Xuan Sang to find a place to keep humans and animals captive.
After a year of investigation, the scope has been narrowed down a lot, and with one more person, the speed can be increased.
As for Mo Ci himself, his strength is already stronger than Yan Shuo's, and after a year, his strength will only become stronger.
Moreover, when it comes to hiding his tracks, he is definitely one of the best.
The three of them split up into two groups and continued searching. This time, Mo Ci was going to a superior force.
Unlike before, when Mo Ci came this time, the other party was holding a big competition.
He also invited everyone to come and watch, and just like that, Mo Ci successfully entered this place.
This is a force called Lingyuan Sect, and this competition is only a competition within the sect.
However, because they invited other people to watch, they also kindly provided a stand for people to watch.
If anyone is itching to show off their skills, they can come up and have a competition, but it's a one-sided contest.
The Lingyuan Sect also has great confidence, so they don’t care at all about who comes to their Lingyuan Sect.
As soon as he stepped into the territory of Lingyuan Sect, Mo Ci sensed that there was a very powerful sect protection formation in this Lingyuan Sect.
Even Mo Ci would need some time to break through this protective formation.
Thinking in his mind, Mo Ci also felt that it was a good thing that he didn't sneak in this time, otherwise it would have taken some effort.
It is suitable for him to fish in troubled waters now.
Like Mo Ci, many people started looking around as soon as they entered Lingyuan Sect.
And at every distance, there were several disciples standing at fixed positions guarding. When these disciples saw the performance of the crowd, their backs were straightened, and their proud look was particularly conspicuous.
Mo Ci noticed their movements, then silently retracted his gaze, tentatively checking the location of the human and beast, and then considering how to take the human and beast away.
As they go further in, there will be special people to tell them which places they can go and which places are restricted and cannot be visited.
They also reminded them that if they went to places where they were not allowed to go, their life and death would no longer be under the control of their Lingyuan Sect.
Mo Ci listened and nodded silently, thinking that it seemed that the Lingyuan Sect had made very thorough arrangements.
However, I hope this thoroughness is truly thorough.
Mo Ci successfully arrived at a stand and looked at the spacious competition arena where disciples were fighting.
It's quite good in terms of viewing experience, but as for other aspects, it's nothing special.
Of course, for these people, this is enough.
After watching for a while, Mo Ci left the stands and started walking around. His action was not abrupt.
After all, Lingyuan Sect did not stipulate who must come here this time, so most of the people who came here were independent cultivators.
As for the independent cultivators, they are naturally more curious about Lingyuan Sect than about the comparative test.
So as he walked along, Mo Ci would see one or two people passing by him from time to time.
In this case, it would be difficult to act alone.
Mo Ci walked slowly step by step around the place that the man had mentioned.
As he walked, he saw more and more people walking towards him, and Mo Ci looked a little puzzled.
Not only were these people walking towards him, but each of them had an expression of resentment and fear on their faces.
Mo Ci quickly reached out to stop someone who was passing by him.
"Fellow Daoist, what happened up there? Why are you all back?"
The man was held back by Mo Ci, and when he heard Mo Ci ask this question, he was a little impatient.
After seeing Mo Ci, a look of shock appeared on his face as he replied.
"Hey, there's a private arena set up by the Lingyuan Sect up ahead. If you win, you can get a lot of goodies. But, the person guarding the arena doesn't follow the rules..."
It turned out that there were disciples of Lingyuan Sect who had secretly set up a private arena in front.
Under the pretext of giving everyone treasures, they let everyone come on stage to compete, but in fact they are just trying to steal from everyone.
Unfortunately, that person was guarded by two powerful men. They felt so aggrieved that they could only be slaughtered. It would be strange if they were in a good mood!
Besides, this is the territory of Lingyuan Sect, they dare not make trouble and can only suffer in silence.
"Okay, brother, I advise you not to go over there. Otherwise, you'll be the one crying."
As the man said this, he broke free from Mo Ci and left quickly. As for the truth that shocked him before, he did not tell Mo Ci.
Mo Ci still had doubts in his heart, but as he watched more and more people leaving in the opposite direction of him, he thought about it and simply turned around.
Anyway, this direction is not the direction where humans and animals are.
The less trouble, the better.
With this thought in mind, Mo Ci turned and left.
He had only taken a few steps when two figures appeared in front of him and blocked Mo Ci's way.
Mo Ci: "You two, what do you mean?"
A calm voice sounded, but Mo Ci was thinking in his heart, could these two people be the ones that the man just mentioned?
But he didn't go over, so why did these two people stop him?
Could it be that you want to force a sale?
While thinking, the two men had already set their eyes on Mo Ci. When they saw Mo Ci's face, they also showed some shock, but quickly regained their composure.
"My young master invites you. Please don't embarrass us, young friend."
Young Master... Mo Ci was sure that he didn't know any Young Master. Also, why did they look so shocked when they saw him?
Could it be that they also know Yan Jizhao?
Are they Yan Jizhao's friends or enemies?
Mo Ci sighed in his heart, thinking that he had been a little careless.
Yan Jizhao's face should not be that unknown.
After all, he had the ambition to send the humans and orcs back to the Orc Continent, and he died because of it.
This must have created quite a few enemies...
"Please lead the way."
Mo Ci didn't struggle. Seeing their attitude, he had to go whether he wanted to or not.
Mo Ci's ability to understand the current situation made the two of them treat him better, so along the way, Mo Ci received many people's sympathetic glances.
Mo Ci: ...
In fact, there is no need to look at him this way, there is really no need.
When he finally arrived at the place, Mo Ci saw a man who was about the same age as himself.
The man was wearing a strange hat, but his face looked 70% like himself.
"Hello, my brother from the same mother."
