I have a city in another world

Chapter 7077 Demonic Energy Pervades
Spiritual veins are extremely rare and are regarded as treasures by cultivators. They are the foundation for the development and growth of extraordinary organizations.

Many years ago, the spiritual energy revived, causing a great change in the world.

At the same time, practitioners also appeared.

If ordinary people exercise using the right methods and persevere, they can strengthen their physical body and meridians.

From then on, he possessed internal energy, his physical body could fight lions and tigers, and a single punch could deliver the force of a thousand pounds.

If one possesses innate spiritual roots, one can also wield extraordinary power and unleash a variety of spells.

During their explorations, the extraordinary individuals discovered more and more secrets and occasionally came into contact with extraordinary forces from beyond the realm.

Some of these extraordinary individuals came into contact with powerful beings such as otherworldly demons and gods, and thus fell into demonic cultivation, resorting to any means to increase their strength.

They exchanged various cultivation techniques and resources with demons and evil gods through methods such as killing and sacrifice.

The root of the spiritual energy revival lies in the spiritual energy hidden in the gap between the void and reality, which was shattered and overflowed due to the great changes in the world.

Those overflowing locations are called spiritual veins by cultivators. Cultivating near a spiritual vein can lead to rapid advancement in strength.

The struggle for ownership of spiritual veins has led to constant battles in the cultivation world, resulting in considerable casualties.

Some of these spiritual veins were also damaged in the war, which is truly heartbreaking.

Later, all parties reached a consensus that under no circumstances should any party in the conflict damage the spiritual veins, otherwise they would become enemies of the cultivation world.

The fact that the mountain city community knowingly violated the rules is tantamount to going against the entire cultivation world. It is believed that once this matter is reported, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

When that time comes, no matter what explanation or reason is given, they will inevitably be pursued and held accountable.

It seems that this war of plunder has completely thrown the mental state of the high-ranking officials in the mountain city settlement off balance, leading them to act so recklessly.

If such an operation succeeds, it will indeed greatly reduce the Blood Demon Sect's profits, but it will come at a very heavy price.

Unless they hide themselves deeply enough and stop contacting the outside world, the group of cultivators in the mountain city will inevitably become pariahs and be hated by everyone.

The commotion caused by the destruction of the spiritual veins was far greater than imagined. Amidst the rumbling of the earth, huge cracks spread down the mountain, dividing the inner city area into many sections.

Many areas collapsed, causing buildings on the ground to sink into them, and thick smoke and flames continued to rise.

Even the sturdy inner city walls could not withstand these cracks, and collapsed in an instant.

The cracks extended outwards from the city, swallowing up the ruins ravaged by war not long ago, and also trapping residents who had not had time to escape within them.

Such a desolate scene even made Feng Jiu Kui, a demonic cultivator, sigh, wondering how many people would die this time.

Those foolish residents, deceived by the higher-ups in the mountain town settlement, not only have to work like slaves, but will also lose their lives in the end.

What kind of righteous path is this? It's even more demonic than demonic cultivators!

As he was pondering this, he suddenly sensed a demonic aura slowly rising from the mountain crevice.

Feng Jiu Kui's heart skipped a beat, then he stared in disbelief at the direction of the inner city.

A terrible thought slowly rose in his mind.

"No way...could this be..."

The thought of that possibility sent chills down Feng Jiu Kui's spine, and his original confidence and smugness vanished.

Instead, there is a sense of fear of becoming a pawn after realizing the truth.

When he saw the demonic energy gathering above the mountain city settlement and gradually forming a vortex, he finally confirmed his guess.

Someone is actually making a sacrifice, taking advantage of the destruction of the spiritual veins when the city falls to launch a massive sacrifice against the demon god from another world.

The creatures in the city are all sacrifices in the ritual; someone uses their sacrifice to gain benefits.

"Who on earth has the audacity and the ability to orchestrate this?!" Feng Jiu Kui roared inwardly, while secretly rejoicing that he had escaped in time, otherwise he might have become a sacrifice.

Those ruthless madmen don't care about the status of the sacrifices; when needed, they can even sacrifice their blood relatives without hesitation.

At this moment, one can see wisps of blood energy swirling out from the bodies of those dead creatures.

That was the body's vital energy and blood, as well as the soul that had not yet dissipated, all of which were now being extracted under the influence of a special power.

Ultimately, they were drawn into the vortex and became sacrifices to an evil god from another world.

During or after the ritual, the sacrificer will receive a reward from an otherworldly evil god.

Feng Jiu Kui's heart skipped a beat. If he made a move at this moment and killed that sacrificer, could he seize the other party's benefits?

The rewards from the otherworldly evil god are not targeted at anyone; whoever gets them gets them.

Perhaps this was intentional, to make the sacrificers kill each other, so that the reward could be saved if they all died.

Never try to understand the thoughts of demons and evil gods with a normal mindset; they are far more wicked and despicable than you can imagine.

To prevent this from happening, the sacrificers would often hide in secluded locations, keeping their tracks hidden from outsiders.

One thing is certain: the other party must be hiding in this city, presiding over the entire ritual of offering sacrifices to the evil god.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that someone who could do something like that could never be an ordinary cultivator.

It is highly likely that they were high-ranking cultivators from both sides, otherwise they would not have been able to do this at all.

Feng Jiu Kui was self-aware. Although he was a third-tier cultivator and his strength was not weak, he was still no match for those big shots.

When it comes to a real fight, before you can even react, you might be instantly killed by your opponent.

Knowing this, Feng Jiu Kui became even more hesitant to act rashly.

But when he saw the billowing blood energy rising into the sky and gradually forming a blood-red, ferocious skull, he could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.

The scale of this sacrifice far exceeded expectations, and the rewards given will undoubtedly be incredibly generous.

Even a small amount would be enough to benefit him immensely, and might even grant him the opportunity to advance to the fourth rank.

For cultivators, this is a huge threshold; once crossed, it opens up a whole new world.

He struggled in the cultivation world, willing to pay any price for resources, even if it meant becoming a demonic cultivator.

Even so, the gains were meager and insufficient to sustain the costs of cultivation.

Feng Jiu Kui's greatest wish was to become rich overnight and accumulate abundant cultivation resources.

This kind of mentality is not much different from that of ordinary people who want to get rich quick. The difference is that practitioners are more persistent and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

After some hesitation, he finally made up his mind to enter the city and investigate.

If there is an opportunity to make a move, one should not hesitate; but if the situation is not feasible, one should decisively evacuate the danger zone.

The city was in chaos, and no one paid attention to Feng Jiu Kui's whereabouts. The difference was that everyone was running outwards, but he deliberately went against the flow and entered the city.

Finding the location of the sacrifice is indeed not an easy task; the sacrificers will try every means to hide their tracks.

However, when the sacrifice begins, all sorts of extraordinary phenomena will occur, and experienced people will be able to discern clues from the slightest hints.

"Judging from the direction of the demonic energy, the center point should be located in the inner city, most likely somewhere inside the mountain."

Based on his assessment, Feng Jiu Kui entered the cave, only to find that the collapse was quite severe.

Left with no other option, they retreated, searched for a way out, and eventually slipped into the crack.

When they reached the bottom of the crevice, they saw a large number of corpses piled up, and judging from their clothes, they were all residents of the inner city.
