“Good, good!” Hearing this, the mourning woman heaved a sigh of relief and sighed. &Quot; since you’ve agreed, I can rest assured. &Quot;

She continued, ” my Zi village was originally called Zi city. &Quot;

“It’s one of the 12 cities of the ethereal Island.”

Twelve cities?

Fairy Yumeng was stunned. To the outside world, this Island was only a few miles in radius. It was impossible for it to contain a city. After they arrived on the island, although they found that the island was much larger than the outside world, they had not seen any traces of the existence of any cities along the way.

Not to mention 12 cities?

&Quot; the ethereal Island is far away from the mainland. Although snakes and insects breed on the island, and sea beasts often attack the island, it’s still a peaceful place to live and work. &Quot; The wailing woman coughed and said in a trembling voice, ” but a long, long time ago … Our ancestors met with real trouble. &Quot;

“Ghost tide,”

&Quot; every ten years, there will be a ghost swarm. Almost all the rooms are empty. It’s a terrible sight. &Quot;

&Quot; even Fengdu, the capital city of the 12 cities, was destroyed in the third ghost swarm. &Quot;

&Quot; for this, our ancestors used all sorts of methods. &Quot;

&Quot; in the end, under the recommendation of a passer-by, they thought of a method … To offer sacrifices to the immortals. &Quot;

&Quot; every year, we will worship a child. When the ten-year period is up and the ghost tide breaks out, we will avoid the entire Island. &Quot;

“With the remaining cities and population at that time, this requirement isn’t too high.”

&Quot; and so, it was passed down from generation to generation.

“But I don’t know when it started, but the rules suddenly changed.”

&Quot; the time interval between the sacrificial rites changed from one year to half a year, then three months, and then one month … &Quot;

Upon hearing this, fairy Yumeng frowned. It was not particularly rare to offer a living person as a sacrifice. On the side of the demonic path, there were many ways to use flesh and blood as a sacrifice and to drive away evil spirits.

However, according to the mourning woman, the people living on the island were only mortals and there were no cultivators.

It wasn’t that easy for mortals to communicate with demons and ghosts through sacrificial rituals!

That’s right, of course, fairy Yumeng did not believe that the people worshipped by the ethereal Island were Immortals.

Putting aside the fact that Immortals were existences who had already ascended, she had never heard of an immortal who had ascended being able to contact the lower realm.

Even if they could, why would they look for a mortal on such a remote island instead of the nine great sects?

“This sacrifice is the funeral that’s going to be held today?” she asked with a frown.

The wailing woman wanted to speak, but she had no choice but to cough violently for a while. She coughed so hard that it tore her heart and lungs apart, as if she was going to cough her lungs out.

After a long time, the wailing woman’s aura was clearly a bit gray, and she barely managed to stop it. She said weakly, ” &Quot; although the ceremony was carried out according to the rules, for some reason, the twelve cities were still cursed and destroyed one after another … Before the incident, our Zi city was a big city second only to Fengdu. Even though generations of city Lords tried their best to save themselves, they still fell step by step … Now, only Zi village is left. &Quot;

&Quot; now, the village has to hold a sacrificial ceremony every five days. &Quot;

&Quot; men and women, old and young, draw lots one by one. &Quot;

&Quot; so, there are fewer and fewer people in the village, and more and more empty houses. &Quot;

“If this continues, Zi village will be gone …”

“Since it’s a sacrificial ceremony, why do you need to hold a funeral?” Fairy Yumeng muttered to herself, ” furthermore, since the island has a long-term habit of offering sacrifices, is there no one who is specialized in this? ”

“I heard that there were special priests in the past, but after the rules were changed, they all disappeared … But there are still a few things that the priests used in the past,” the wailing woman said weakly.

“This comb is one of them.”

As she spoke, she took out a comb inlaid with gold and treasures from her sleeve with great effort.

After seeing this, fairy Yumeng’s pupils shrank slightly, ” A magic treasure!

This was actually a magic treasure!

&Nbsp; although he didn’t know its exact effects, he could feel that this comb was filled with immense power.

Mortals simply couldn’t use even the slightest bit of this power … How could this comb be something that a mere mortal village could control?

She almost couldn’t control herself and wanted to immediately reach out and grab it. Thinking that she hadn’t finished inquiring about Zi village’s origin and still had other questions that needed this old woman to answer, she reluctantly suppressed it and indicated for the mourning woman to continue.

The wailing woman seemed to be unable to even lift a comb. After some time, she put it away and continued,”In short, out of the twelve cities back then, only our Zi village is left.”

&Quot; then, the rules of the village … &Quot; fairy Yumeng probed, ” were they passed down from the past? ”

The wailing woman shook her head slightly. She seemed to be very tired, and her words were soft and slow.”The village chief received instructions from the immortal during the sacrificial ceremony and decided on this. Miss, don’t try to break the rules, because those who break the rules never have a good ending.”

She suddenly smiled strangely. &Quot; including revealing the secret of this village. &Quot;

As soon as he finished speaking, fairy Yumeng’s pupils suddenly contracted, ” Countless black vortexes quickly appeared on the skin of the wailing woman’s face and the back of her hands.

In the next moment, the spot where the black spot appeared quickly withered and rotted, and pus and blood began to flow out!

At this moment, the wailing woman was still breathing weakly.

Seeing that she did not have much time left, fairy Yumeng quickly asked one last question, ” “Do the immortals that the village worships have a name?”

She didn’t believe that this so-called immortal was an immortal who had ascended. She was most likely a cultivator with a profound cultivation base who was playing tricks here! The enemy was mysterious, but su zhentian was a disciple of one of the most powerful sects in the world. As long as they knew the enemy’s background, they would have a way to deal with him.

“Immortal’s taboo … Curse!” The wailing woman struggled as she spoke. Then, the rotten flesh on her body began to fall off piece by piece.

Soon, all the flesh and blood fell to the ground, leaving only a bare skeleton, but it still maintained the posture of kneeling towards the shrine, kowtowing.

Looking at this scene, fairy Yu Meng was only slightly surprised. But after she realized that she was fine, she immediately laughed in a relaxed manner.

In fact, even if the wailing woman was not dead now, she was not prepared to let her live after hearing her story about the village.

Of course, if they attacked the villagers, something bad might happen.

Therefore, fairy Yu Meng would not personally take action. The two Qi refining stage cultivators outside were brought by her to help kill them.

Yesterday, she had faked su zhentian’s order to have wandering cultivators cry at funerals, act as drummers, and carry coffins … She definitely couldn’t hide it from Qiao ciguang, Shi Wanli, and the others.

But now, she was the only outsider who knew the secret of Zi village. As long as she used this as a bargaining chip, su zhentian and the glaze avarice dynasty wouldn’t be able to touch her!

“The people in the village will die if they tell this secret.” Looking at the skeleton of the mourning woman, fairy Yumeng calmly analyzed, ” furthermore, death is extremely frightening for mortals. &Quot;

“That’s why I didn’t dare to tell anyone.”

“Qiao ciguang and Shi Wanli prided themselves on being from the righteous path. In addition, the village’s rule is that they are not allowed to harm the villagers. They have no way of knowing the village’s Secret.”

&Quot; if you want to know the origin of the village, you can only go through me! &Quot;

“And if you want me to reveal this secret …”

“That’s simple.”

“As long as you can protect me and let me leave this place safely, you’ll have to give me half of the opportunities you encounter!”

Thinking of this, fairy Yumeng smiled complacently. She reached out and wanted to take the magic comb out of the weeping woman’s sleeve. But when she was about to take action, she remembered the horror she felt when she looked up at the statue behind the curtain. She paused and reluctantly gave up the idea.

“This so-called ‘curse’ might be nothing in su zhentian’s eyes, but it’s nothing to an itinerant cultivator like me who doesn’t have a complete inheritance.” Fairy Yu Meng thought to herself, ” it’s better not to take the risk first. I’ll go find su zhentian and the Liu Fu dynasty to discuss the deal first. Then, I’ll arrange for other rogue cultivators to come and pick up the magic treasures. I’ll let them carry them with them for a while and get them back when there’s no problem. &Quot;

Thinking of this, she casually cast two hand seals to cover the comb, then turned around and left.
