It was hard for Tan Xiu to imagine how many people had to be hunted to fill the 49 blood pools in today's peaceful society. Judging from the size of the blood pools, it would probably take the blood of thousands of people to fill any one of them, and the blood of at least 50,000 people would be needed to fill the 49 blood pools.
50,000 people!
Fifty thousand lives, how did the Lian Family do it?
Tan Xiu suppressed the killing intent in his heart and instantly used his spiritual sense to monitor the entire area covered by the Underworld Great Array. To his surprise, there was a portal in the seven-meter-high rockery inside, which turned out to be leading underground.
"Huh?"
Through his spiritual sense observation, Tan Xiu was surprised to find that aside from the 100-square-meter wide hall, there were also three corridors and 49 secret chambers in the underground space. At this moment, except for two of these secret chambers, there were people of the Lian Family in the other chambers. Moreover, they all looked like elderly people.
In addition …
Inside the 100-square-meter wide hall, there were also three old men sitting cross-legged on the praying mats with wisps of black smoke lingering around them, looking inexplicably strange.
"I understand now."
Tan Xiu took a deep breath. The killing intent in his eyes turned thicker as he gently patted Miao Wentang's shoulder and turned to walk in the direction he came from.
With a suspicious look, Miao Wentang followed Tan Xiu and asked, "What do you understand now, Brother Tang?"
"I understand what's going on with the Lian Family," said Tan Xiu. "I also figured out what the Lian Family's biggest reliance is. However, there are still some issues that I haven't figured out yet. As long as I can figure it out, it'll be the time to completely eradicate the Lian Family. "
"What reliance?" asked Miao Wentang quickly.
Grabbing Miao Wentang's shoulder, Tan Xiu's feet kept moving and quickly went out of the Underworld Great Array. Only then did he release Miao Wentang and said, "The Underworld Great Array arranged by the Miao Family is a protective array of the Underworld. But if it's related to the blood sacrifice, it can be perfectly combined to enhance the strength of Ghost cultivators. There is a very large underground space beneath the fake mountain we just saw. That underground space is connected to a fulcrum of the Netherworld Realm. It can continuously draw in the Netherworld Energy from the Netherworld Realm and use it to temper the body, making it even more powerful. "
Miao Wentang exclaimed, "It can actually connect to the Netherworld? Isn't this a little too inconceivable? Also, does the Netherworld really exist in this world? "
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "Of course not in this world, because this is the mortal world. And in the higher planes of space, there really was the Netherworld. Of course, the legendary Hades of the Underworld was just a story in legends. However, in the Underworld, there are also powerful existences similar to King Yama. They control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and they determine the path of reincarnation based on their judgment. "
Miao Wentang's lips squirmed a few times before he asked, "In other words, if I die, I will also go to hell?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Others might be able to, but I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for you."
Miao Wentang was pleasantly surprised. "Can I go to Heaven if I don't go to hell?"
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "There's no such thing as Heaven in this world. That's just a place made up by the Gods that the Western people believe in. If you die now, you may enter the Netherworld and go through the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reincarnated. But if your strength reaches a certain level in the future, once you die, it's equivalent to your soul being destroyed. "
Miao Wentang was horrified. "My soul being destroyed? Doesn't that mean … "
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and smilingly said, "When a person dies, their soul will escape. Or they will seize another body and be reborn, or turn into a spirit cultivator. Their ultimate goal is to make themselves stronger and eventually break the shackles above their heads to ascend to the Immortal World. "
Miao Wentang heavily nodded and cautiously said, "It seems that I must be very careful in the future. Else, once my soul is destroyed, I won't even have the chance to reincarnate."
Tan Xiu chuckled and said, "In the higher planes, such as the Immortal World, Immortals can still enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reincarnated once they die. However, the lower planes and the higher planes do not belong to the same Six Paths of Reincarnation, nor are they in the same Underworld. In short, there are many situations here. You'll understand them when you can break through and become an Immortal in the future. I'll tell you now, but you won't be able to understand many of them. "
Miao Wentang forced a wry smile and said, "How can I have the chance to break through to the Immortal Realm in my life? Becoming a Nascent Soul Stage expert is already enough to wake up from my dreams with a smile."
Tan Xiu patted Miao Wentang's shoulder and walked outside. The two of them had arrived easily, and it was also very easy for them to leave. They left the Lian Family's Manor House quietly without disturbing anyone. At 2 AM in the night, they had returned to the Miao Family Manor.
On the left bank of the artificial lake.
Inside a European-style villa, Xue Yu sat quietly on the balcony with a glass of red wine in her hand, watching the swaying woods in front and the dim path in the woods.
"You're back?"
Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised look appeared on her beautiful face. She put down the wine glass in her hand and immediately ran to the house. Soon, she met Tan Xiu on the stairs on the first floor.
"How was it?"
Asked Xue Yu with a smile. She had been worried about Tan Xiu's safety. Upon seeing him come back safely, her worried heart immediately relaxed and she asked with a smile.
Tan Xiu put his hand around her slender waist and walked toward the second floor while saying, "I've almost figured it out. The core members of the Lian Family have probably fallen into the Devil's Path. In other words, it can also be said that the core members of the Lian Family have fallen into the Devil's Path. This kind of person was definitely a cruel and merciless existence. We need to eradicate the Lian Family as soon as possible. "
"Can we easily eradicate the Lian Family?" asked Xue Yu.
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. The Lian Family is easy to eradicate, and the evil arts they rely on are also easy to break. But what I'm most worried about now is that there will be a deeper layer behind this. For example, some ghosts in the Underworld. "
"The Lian Family really has a connection with the Underworld?" Xue Yu was surprised. "Also, you've mentioned the existence of the Underworld to me before, but is this place really the Underworld?"
"That's right." Tan Xiu nodded.
"Then, what should we do next?" asked Xue Yu.
"Let's go to Kanas first. If we can open the Immortal Trove in Longquan Bay, we'll try our best to take it out," said Tan Xiu. "If we can't open it, we'll come back immediately. Seven days. Regardless of whether we can succeed or not, we'll come back immediately. I'll assign Awu and the others to stay here during these seven days to inquire about the Lian Family's intel. "
"What else do you need to inquire about?" asked Xue Yu, confused. "Didn't you personally go there tonight to investigate?"
"What I want to know is whether there are other devils behind the Lian Family," said Tan Xiu. "Or if their family members have a connection with the Underworld. I won't be worried if it's other devils, even if they are very powerful. But I'm afraid that they might have a connection with the ghosts in the Underworld. If that's the case, this matter will be very tricky. "
Xue Yu slowly nodded and said, "Should we notify the people in Chang City's Green Lake Agricola? After all, the Lian Family's Patriarch, two ancestors, and more than 20 experts of the Lian Family died there. If we can't deal with the Lians as soon as possible, I'm afraid they'll be in danger once they send more people there. "
"I'll meet Han Sen tomorrow morning." Tan Xiu nodded. "Tell him to go back to Chang City personally!"
The next day.
When the red sun rose in the east, Tan Xiu neatly dressed and walked out of the villa. He found Han Sen sitting cross-legged on the edge of the woods a dozen meters away and immediately walked over.
"Boss!"
Han Sen's injuries had yet to heal, but he was almost healed. Imitating the way Mo Awu and the others addressed Tan Xiu, he got up and respectfully called out.
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, Song Donglai and Ao Wei should have broken through and become Qi Refining Stage cultivators. What do you think? "
A chilling aura exuded from Han Sen's body, yet his expression was extraordinarily calm as he said, "My life belongs to you, Boss, so I'll do whatever you want me to do. You want me to become a cultivator, so I'll naturally become one. I won't complain if you want me to maintain my status quo. "
"Go to Chang City!" Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction. "Tell Song Donglai and Ao Wei to burn down the Green Lake Agricola and completely erase their traces. Then take them to Jingmen Island immediately and head to the Everlasting Feast Hall's headquarters there. "
"What should I do then?" asked Han Sen.
"When you arrive at the Everlasting Feast Hall's headquarters in Jingmen Island, someone will naturally take care of you," said Tan Xiu. In addition, when you get there, there will be people who will teach you cultivation techniques and help you embark on the path of cultivation. Remember, you're an outer member of the Everlasting Feast Hall starting from today. "
"I know about the Everlasting Feast Hall," said Han Sen. "I've been to the Everlasting Feast Hall's array before. Unfortunately, I was only able to break through two layers before I was forced to escape. "
"It's not accurate to say that you don't know about the Everlasting Feast Hall." Tan Xiu let out a faint smile. "Go. You'll know what kind of existence it is when you return to the Everlasting Feast Hall."
"Understood!"
Han Sen nodded and cupped his fists before leaving.
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he watched his back. He found that Han Sen was very suitable to be an assassin. He had a very cold temperament and had always been unscrupulous in doing things. As long as he approved it, he would find a way to do it. However, Han Sen needed to obey his orders in the future. If he were to return to the Immortal World in the future, he could consider taking him with him. He could throw him in the Immortal World later, and he would definitely become a God of Slaughter in the Immortal World.
Shortly after …
Tan Xiu called Mo Awu and the others and gave them some instructions. He watched them leave and then went to a villa not far away.
"Brother Tang, you're up so early?"
Miao Wentang was practicing Taiji Fist in the villa's courtyard. Upon seeing Tan Xiu's arrival, he immediately stopped and greeted him with a smile.
