"Fortunately, this one is still here. Has he been tested? Is he still a virgin?"
"He should be. Elder Feng Yu brought him back. He should have been tested."
"He's still young. He should still be a virgin."
"He doesn't seem to be white enough. I wonder if he can pass."
Looking at Su Yi, the figures discussed as if they were looking at an object.
The middle-aged woman carried Su Yi through the crowd and arrived at the front of the courtyard. She placed Su Yi aside and asked Feng Qi 'er to stand on the other side.
There were already dozens of young women waiting for something. The oldest was in her twenties, about the same age as Feng Qi 'er. The youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Then, Su Yi clearly saw that among the six to seven hundred people in the courtyard, there were many old people and experts with powerful auras sitting in front.
Su Yi saw Elder Feng Yu, who captured him during the day. Feng Gu and a few other men were also among them.
"So many experts."
Looking at the group of old people and experts with powerful auras, Su Yi restrained his aura. He could also sense that there were many Origin Void Realm experts present. There were at least five of them.
There was an old man sitting in the middle. He had white hair and looked very old. He held an ancient wooden walking stick in his hand. It looked like he was trembling slightly when he walked and would fall at any time. However, there was a dignified aura around him.
Su Yi looked at the old man. He could feel that although the old man did not have any aura, he was probably stronger than Feng Yu.
"Is this the young man you brought back?"
The old man looked at Su Yi and sized him up. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi was fully focused. He did not dare to be careless as he was afraid that these experts would notice something.
Restraining his aura, Su Yi purposely blocked the acupuncture points in his body to make himself look like he was sealed.
"Strong on the inside but strong on the outside, hidden and not exposed. His spirit is like a dragon and a tiger. He is indeed a fledgling, but it seems that his talent is not ordinary." The old man sized up Su Yi, his eyes rippling as he nodded.
"First Elder, all the unmarried women in the clan are here." The middle-aged woman, who was called Fourth Aunt by Feng Qi 'er, whispered to the old man.
"Then let's begin!"
The Great Elder nodded and walked forward shakily, leaning on his walking stick. He looked at the hundreds of people in the courtyard, his expression calm, and his eyes glittering.
Seeing the First Elder step forward, the commotion in the courtyard immediately came to a halt. Everyone's gazes landed on the First Elder, waiting for him to speak.
"I'm sure everyone has heard that the girl we captured a few days ago met with an accident and died."
The Great Elder looked at everyone as his voice rang out clearly in everyone's ears.
"How did this happen? What should we do now?"
"I'm afraid it's too late to catch another one."
"What should we do? Tomorrow morning, the Demonic Emperor will send someone over."
"…"
Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the crowd instantly broke into a commotion. Everyone's expression became extremely tense and solemn.
"What's the commotion? Be quiet and listen to the Great Elder."
Among the group of experts and elders, there was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. He had a skinny body and a slightly tilted chin. His deep eyes flickered with an uncertain light, and he gave off a gloomy and cold aura.
As soon as the old man spoke, the crowd quietened down instantly. Many gazes shifted to the old man with fear in their eyes.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down again, the Grand Elder continued, "There are less than six hours left until daybreak. It's too late to go out and find the person we need. Thus, the elders have already discussed and decided to draw lots from the clan's unmarried women to replace him."
"What? Search for her in the clan?"
"How can this be? How can we sacrifice someone from our clan!"
The crowd was in an uproar again. Many of them exchanged looks with each other.
Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the group of young women turned pale and their expressions changed drastically.
"Everyone, be quiet. This is the result of the elders' discussion. There's no other way now. Sacrificing one person is the only way for the entire clan to be safe. Otherwise, the entire clan will suffer and none of us will be able to escape."
The gloomy old man snorted and swept his gaze across the crowd.
The crowd fell silent and looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to say anything.
Everyone understood that only by sacrificing one person could the safety of the entire clan be exchanged.
Otherwise, none of them would be able to escape.
Looking at the quiet crowd, the gloomy old man waved his hand and a young man pushed up a stone table. On the table, there was a sealed wooden box with only a fist-sized wooden box exposed.
The gloomy old man stood in front of the stone table and looked at the group of young women. He said, "In the entire clan, only forty-six of you are suitable. There are forty-six bamboo sticks in this wooden box. Forty-five of them are of the same length and only one is shorter. You will decide by drawing lots. The one who draws the shortest bamboo stick will be the one to choose. This is also for the sake of the entire clan. For your family and clan, sacrificing yourself to protect the entire clan is an honor."
As the gloomy old man's voice fell, he waved his hand and motioned for the group of young women to come forward and draw lots.
Su Yi stood there quietly. Seeing everything and listening to these people, he seemed to be able to guess some things.
It seemed that this group of people was a large clan. For some reason, they wanted to hand over a young man and woman who were still virgins to a Demon Emperor in exchange for the safety of their clan.
The people of this clan had already captured a young woman, but there was an accident and time was running out. Therefore, the elders of this clan discussed and decided to draw lots to choose a substitute from their clan in exchange for the safety of their clan.
There were many experts around. Su Yi had been on tenterhooks and did not dare to be careless. However, from where Su Yi stood, he could clearly see the drawing of lots.
The young women were extremely nervous and dignified. They seemed to know what it meant to be chosen.
The young women's steps were trembling as they drew lots in fear. They were afraid that they would be the one to be chosen.
Everyone held their breaths in anticipation as they stared at the arena.
There were a total of forty-six women lining up one by one to draw lots. Feng Qi 'er was the last to arrive. She was at the end of the line and looked very nervous.
