When Zhang Tie returned to the bloody sacrifice hieron of Iron-Dragon Sect, he found that the 100 bloody figures had been prepared.
"How many bloody figures are there in the iron prison of our battle fortress?" Zhang Tie asked Liu Xing as he walked towards the palace.
"Master, there are 318,000 bloody figures in the iron prison of the battle fortress of Iron-Dragon Sect. Over the past two years, as Iron-Dragon Sect was constantly purchasing bloody figures, the original iron prison of the battle fortress could not hold so many bloody figures anymore. Therefore, we built two new iron prisons at the foot of the mountain!" Liu Xing replied respectfully, "Since master took out the bloody sacrifice furnace to sacrifice bloody figures, all the clans in Taixia Country have started to stock up bloody figures. As a result, the purchase price of bloody figures has increased. During the past two years when master was not in Iron-Dragon Sect, many major clans in Taixia Country came to Iron-Dragon Sect to ask whether our bloody sacrifice furnace could be opened to the public. These people were all received by Elder Lu and Elder Lin. Iron-Dragon Sect should have records!"
"Hmm, I see!" Zhang Tie nodded as he asked, "How about the catastrophe of bloody figures in Taixia Country over the past two years?"
"The catastrophe of bloody figures across Taixia Country has basically been pacified. Large-scale bloody figure gangs have been exterminated. Only a few bloody figures escaped into the wild and drank human flesh and blood. However, they're not a threat anymore!"
"Hmm, I see!" Zhang Tie asked casually, "What's the purchasing price of a living bloody figure now?"
"In recent months, the purchasing price of a living bloody figure with complete limbs has risen to 100 gold coins each. As for those with broken limbs, it's a bit less. This trade has already become a specialized business in Taixia Country. Many people are engaged in this trade …"
"100 gold coins each?" Zhang Tie was shocked by this price, "How could it be so high?"
Liu Xing revealed a bitter smile as he said, "From this year, I heard that master's promotion to a divine dominator is related to the bloody sacrifice furnace for bloody figures. Being stimulated by this news, the price of bloody figures started to soar at once …"
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that someone could associate bloody figures with him becoming a divine dominator. However, Zhang Tie was very happy to see such a news.
The reason why Zhang Tie took out the bloody sacrifice furnace and displayed its function was that he wanted the major clans across Taixia Country to join the team of hunting bloody figures more actively and end the catastrophe of bloody figures in Taixia Country as soon as possible so that commoners in Taixia Country could suffer a bit less. Given the current effect, the bloody sacrifice furnace had already achieved this effect.
Zhang Tie definitely made a contribution to pacify the turmoil caused by bloody figures across dozens of provinces in Taixia Country in only a couple of years.
It was dangerous to hunt bloody figures; however, as for major clans across Taixia Country, when this dangerous thing became profitable, they would be motivated at once. Even though some people didn't know the function of those bloody figures, when they saw that Iron-Dragon Sect started to purchase living bloody figures at a high price and in large quantities, those major clans would also follow the trend and join in.
As for these major forces, their logic was that they would rather spend more and invest more when they didn't understand it; instead, they would never regret missing the opportunity when they understood it. They had enough capital to try and make mistakes.
"Does Iron-Dragon Sect have any relationship with those organizations selling bloody figures?"
"Yes!"
"Who are the members of those organizations selling bloody figures?"
"On the surface, most of those organizations are made of bounty hunters, but in fact, they have their own backgrounds. Many of them are backed by big families and business groups, and some of them are deeply associated with the local armies and the Upper Fourth Armies. When they are hunting the bloody figures, the local armies and the Upper Fourth Armies will secretly sell the living bloody figures that they have captured. They are killing many birds with one stone!"
It was human's nature to pursue profit. Now that bloody figures could be exchanged for gold coins and selling bloody figures didn't violate the laws of Taixia Country, of course, someone would fish for gold coins in this grey zone.
After hearing this news, Zhang Tie had many whims in his mind.
"Go spread the news. From today on, Iron-Dragon Sect starts to purchase demon fighters and knights. As long as they're alive, we want them …" As the battle between humans and demons was still going on in Helan Mountain Range, Zhang Tie's news added fuel to the fire, "Besides demon fighters, we also want demonized puppets from all the subcontinents. After that, go find the person in charge of Lu Clan in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and tell him to see me tomorrow. I have something to tell him …"
As they talked, Zhang Tie and Liu Xing had already entered the palace.
All the bloody figures were locked in iron cages. Their hands and feet were locked by alloy chains. Some bloody figures were naked; some bloody figures were only in a pair of crude trousers. The vast and lofty lobby was filled with muffled roars from bloody figures from time to time like the roars of wild beasts. The bloody figures watched the disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect and Zhang Tie who was entering the lobby with bloody and murderous eyes. At the same time, they struggled and swung the alloy chains, causing cracking sounds.
Due to the presence of these bloody people, the entire hall was filled with a faint smell of blood.
Bai Suxian, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi were already waiting in the lobby.
Besides Zhang Tie and those elders of Iron-Dragon Sect, even Zhang Tie's disciples didn't know that Zhang Tie had already lost his battle strength and couldn't defeat a knight anymore.
Watching Zhang Tie entering the lobby, Mountain Lifting Hermit didn't say anything; however, he revealed a blaming look. Zhang Tie had disappeared for the whole morning. Although he left by plane and would not leave the territory of Iron-Dragon Sect, those elders of Iron-Dragon Sect who knew Zhang Tie's situation were still worried about Zhang Tie's safety.
"Well, Liu Xing, you can leave now. When you leave, close the gate of the lobby!" Mountain Lifting Hermit told Liu Xing and the other elders of Iron-Dragon Sect.
"Understood, disciple will take his leave!"
Liu Xing and the other elders of Iron-Dragon Sect could only leave the lobby obediently.
Not until Liu Xing and the other elders of Iron-Dragon Sect closed the gate did Mountain Lifting Hermit tell Zhang Tie solemnly, "Head, you're concerned about the safety of Iron-Dragon Sect and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Additionally, you're admired by the rest of the world. How could you leave Iron-Dragon Sect so casually? If there's any accident, who could bear the responsibility? As an elder of Iron-Dragon Sect, I'm in charge of the commandments of Iron-Dragon Sect, even if the head has made a mistake, I have to say it … "
"Elder brother, you're right. I'm wrong this time. Don't do it again, don't do it again …" Zhang Tie admitted his mistake without putting on airs as he cupped his hands and begged for mercy.
Bai Suxian rolled her eyes to Zhang Tie in an amorous way, which meant, 'Let's see whether you dare do it again next time.'
At the sight of Zhang Tie's look, Mountain Lifting Hermit became silent. Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi just exchanged a glance with each other with a smile.
Even though Zhang Tie was well-known among humans and his social status in Taixia Country was over 10 times higher than before, Zhang Tie still treated them respectfully like before in Iron-Dragon Sect. Zhang Tie's attitude made Mountain Lifting Hermit, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi feel that it was a wise decision for them to join Iron-Dragon Sect.
"Well, head, please take out the bloody sacrifice furnace. We will protect head and see whether this bloody figure could cure head's wounds!" Mountain Lifting Hermit said slowly.
"Fine!" Zhang Tie said as he waved his hand towards Bai Suxian, "Suxian, come here and give me a hand. Only by doing that, I could take out the bloody sacrifice furnace!"
Bai Suxian walked towards Zhang Tie as she asked, "How?"
"As the bloody sacrifice furnace is too large, I could barely take it out of my space-teleportation equipment with my current spiritual energy. Just hold my hand and transfer your spiritual energy to me …"
Bai Suxian then held Zhang Tie's left hand as she slowly transferred her spiritual energy into Zhang Tie's body, "Is that all?"
Feeling the spiritual energy inside his body, Zhang Tie nodded silently. Standing in the middle of the palace, he waved his hand. In a split second, the dozens of meters high bloody sacrifice furnace and that huge joss appeared in the palace.
Watching the bloody sacrifice furnace, Bai Suxian, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi couldn't help but exclaim out of their eyes.
After letting go of Bai Suxian's hand, Zhang Tie walked to the sacrificial altar of the bloody sacrifice furnace and stood still. Closely after that, he opened the mouth of the bloody sacrifice furnace while the terrifying black flame started to burn in the furnace.
Zhang Tie nodded towards Mountain Lifting Hermit.
Mountain Lifting Hermit opened the iron cages. After releasing his battle qi, he froze all the struggling bloody figures. Closely after that, Mountain Lifting Hermit threw the bloody figures into the bloody sacrifice furnace one after another.
After the bloody figures entered the bloody sacrifice furnace, the black flame flashed and disappeared in a split second.
After throwing 100 bloody figures in, the eyes of the joss above the bloody sacrifice furnace gradually turned bright. Closely after that, a light shot out of the eyes of the joss onto Zhang Tie's body.
The energy brought by 100 level-9 bloody figures was definitely not a small amount if it was only used to heal injuries.
Only after a short while, the bizarre light faded away. Zhang Tie sat with crossed legs for a short while as he sensed the changes in his body after being injected with that energy.
In the light of the bloody sacrifice furnace, Zhang Tie felt that his body had been cleansed once again. The cell-level injuries and obstacles among his guts and some negative energy that had not been fully healed in Xuanyuan Hill were gradually healed and cleared by that energy. His guts and guts became vigorous once again while the sluggish and stagnant life energy among his guts started to flow smoothly once again …
However, the two black hole-like energies in his mind sea and his seven seas were still not influenced at all …
