Building a giant altar!
Chen Nan found it hard to understand what the woman in red was trying to do.
Ordinary altars were at most two or three meters high, and some were even replaced by a table. However, Chen Nan couldn't figure out what the woman in red was trying to do with a giant altar that covered an area of hundreds of square meters and was estimated to be dozens of meters high.
He stared at the self-cultivator in front of him. Chen Nan didn't feel that he was lying, so he asked, "Then tell me everything you know."
The self-cultivator didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly told Chen Nan everything he knew.
It turned out that they were from a small self-cultivator sect twenty miles away, and the sect leader with the highest cultivation was only at the Fifth Sky of Royal Dao.
Just three days ago, the woman in red went to their sect leader and shattered half of their mountain with one palm strike, which deterred the whole sect. Then she talked with their sect leader and several elders, but no one knew what they talked about.
After the woman in red left, the sect leader ordered them to come here and build the altar.
In the beginning, there were a few disciples who refused to accept this and wanted to secretly escape. However, they didn't even make it ten miles before they died mysteriously. Later on, two more daring disciples tried to escape, but the result was the same. None of them survived.
It was as if the entire sect was cursed. Before the altar was finished, no one could leave. Whoever left would die.
"Who is your sect leader?" Chen Nan asked.
Because there were two Fifth Firmament of the Imperial Dao here, he couldn't be sure which one was the Sect Master. Although the other one was at least an Elder even if he wasn't the Sect Master, Chen Nan felt that the Sect Master should know more than an Elder.
"The one in the apricot robe and with the longest beard."
Chen Nan knew that he was one of the people who followed him here.
"Well, there's nothing else for you to do. Go."
Hearing Chen Nan's words, the self-cultivator immediately got up and ran to the altar as if he had been pardoned.
However, the moment he turned around, Chen Nan waved his hand. The Forget Dust, which could erase memories, directly erased all of the cultivator's memories from half a day ago. At the same time, he and Su Qingqing disappeared into the forest and sneaked towards the Sect Master.
Chen Nan didn't want to alarm everyone, so he waited in the woods with Su Qingqing, waiting for the sect leader to be alone.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the sect leader patrolled around the altar and came to a big tree to meditate. However, as soon as he started to meditate, Chen Nan secretly rushed over and grabbed him.
When they were about two to three miles away from the place where the altar was being built, Chen Nan threatened him with a few sentences and released him.
The sect leader had already felt the horror of Chen Nan, so he didn't dare to resist. He asked carefully, "Young hero, what can I do for you?"
Chen Nan glanced at him and said, "Do you want to live or die?"
"Live, of course I want to live!" the sect leader said hurriedly.
Chen Nan nodded and said lightly, "In that case, answer whatever I ask you. If you say one wrong word, I'll kill you immediately. Do you understand?"
"Understood. Just ask whatever you want."
Although the altar couldn't be seen now, Chen Nan still glanced over there and said, "Why did the woman in red ask you to build this altar?"
The sect leader was surprised. "How … how did you know?"
Chen Nan didn't say anything. He directly reached out and grabbed the sect leader's neck.
The sect leader's face changed greatly. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I won't talk nonsense anymore. We were also threatened by the woman in red and had to build the altar. Her cultivation is too horrible. If we don't listen to her, she can destroy our whole sect with one palm. "
Chen Nan stared into his eyes and said, "I know all this. I'm asking you, why did she build the altar?"
"Well …"
The Sect Leader seemed to be in a difficult position. "Young hero, don't be agitated. Listen to me. That demoness warned me that she had placed a curse on my body. If I dare to speak of it, I will immediately die. Please spare my life."
"Cursed?" Chen Nan sneered. "That's a ridiculous excuse. I'll also warn you. If you don't say anything now, I'll break your neck immediately."
"I …"
The sect leader wanted to say something but stopped. He seemed to be afraid of the woman in red's curse.
However, when he saw the fierce killing intent in Chen Nan's eyes, he felt a strong killing intent. He had to bite the bullet and say, "I don't know the details. I only vaguely heard her say that she wanted to resurrect someone."
She built such a huge altar just to resurrect someone!
Chen Nan was shocked. Could a dead person really be resurrected? Although the woman in red was an example, Chen Nan still found it hard to believe.
After all, the woman in red said that he was the one who woke her up.
In other words, she might not be completely dead. She was just wandering on the edge of life and death.
"Who did she want to resurrect?" Chen Nan asked.
"I really don't know!"
The sect leader was about to cry. How could the woman in red tell him everything?
Chen Nan frowned and said, "What else do you know?"
"I've told you everything I know!" The sect leader said sincerely. Then, he seemed to think of something and quickly said, "By the way, although she didn't say it explicitly, I heard that she wanted to use a living person as a sacrifice. As for the rest, I really don't know. "
Chen Nan was silent for a while. Then, he waved his hand and said, "There's nothing else for you to do. Go."
"Thank you for sparing my life." The sect leader got up and ran away.
Chen Nan looked at his back and was about to use the Forgetful Dust. However, at this moment —
"Plop …"
The sect leader, who was running forward, suddenly fell to the ground. His hands and feet twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving completely.
Was he dead?
Chen Nan frowned and went over to take a look. He found that the sect leader was bleeding from his seven orifices. His eyes were wide open, and he looked very miserable.
Su Qingqing held Chen Nan's arm in fear and said in surprise, "Was it really a curse?"
The sect leader had said before that the woman in red had cursed him. Once he told others about it, he would immediately die.
Now that Chen Nan had just finished asking, he actually died suddenly!
Was there really such a thing as a curse?
Chen Nan found it hard to believe. Although he knew that the woman in red had a heaven-defying cultivation, he still found it hard to believe in curses.
After leaving the forest, Chen Nan's heart still could not calm down for a long time.
For an existence at the level of the woman in red, what kind of person could make her go to such great lengths to resurrect?
(There were too many curses in the group, so it was disbanded. I'm sorry to the good readers!)
