It was almost impossible for an ancient terrain that contained a Spirit Origin Dragon Crystal to appear in this era. Jiang Xiaofan had only seen records of such terrain in the Imperial Heavenly Gate's Scripture Pavilion. He didn't expect that he would actually encounter such a shocking scene one day.
"Death Sacrifice, you bunch of scum. Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough!"
Jiang Xiaofan sneered. He used a forbidden soul-searching technique to forcibly seize their consciousness and saw many scenes. In this mountain, there really was a Spirit Dragon Vein, and there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it contained the legendary Spirit Origin Dragon Crystal.
However, how could such a terrain be so easy to break through? It was formed naturally by the heavens and earth. Unless one had powerful strength or special methods, there was no hope of obtaining the Spirit Origin Dragon Crystal.
These people were in such a predicament. With their strength, they weren't able to break through the natural barrier outside the Spirit Dragon Vein. However, the enchanting woman wasn't afraid. She had grasped a taboo technique of the Devil Sect in the past — Death Sacrifice.
"Who would've thought that not only is Ziweijiao shameless, he actually secretly kept such a cruel and inhumane taboo technique. If news of this were to spread out and the cultivation world heard about it, I wonder if Ziweijiao would be labeled as a Devil Sect!"
Jiang Xiaofan sneered. A silver beam of light shot out and pierced directly between the enchanting woman's eyebrows, causing her to let out a shrill scream. He used a secret technique from the Daoist Scripture to forcefully remove this spiritual brand from her sea of consciousness.
"You … What are you trying to do!?"
The enchanting woman was somewhat flustered and frightened. Death Sacrifice was no small matter. Only a few people in Ziweijiao knew about it. It was because she was Zi Fenghong's most beloved granddaughter that she was given this technique as an exception. At this moment, the Death Sacrifice was obtained by an outsider. For Ziweijiao, it was definitely a bad thing. The impact would be too great.
This special technique was extremely powerful. Not only could it be used to break through some special barriers, it could also be used for cultivation. By sacrificing the body and soul of others, one could complete one's own body and obtain part of the sacrificed person's Dao Fruit.
This was an evil technique. If news of it were to spread, Ziweijiao would definitely be spurned by the world.
"You guys are still of some use …"
Jiang Xiaofan remained expressionless, but his eyes flashed with a cold light. With a wave of his right hand, the Mysterious Jade Cauldron once again descended and sucked in the three men and one woman. The Death Sacrifice required sacrifices, and these people were just right.
They wanted to use the people in the village as sacrifices to open up the path ahead and break the natural barrier outside the Spirit Dragon Vein, thus obtaining the Dragon Crystal that was nurtured within. From the beginning, these people had never thought of letting the people in the village go!
The mountain behind the village was very deserted. It was not the first time that Jiang Xiaofan had come here, so he was somewhat familiar with it. Soon, he found the place in the Sea of Consciousness of the enchanting woman and the others. There was a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Power pervading this place.
This place was almost in the depths of the ancient mountain. When Jiang Xiaofan arrived here with Little Zhang Hen, he was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious place in such a desolate mountain forest.
Zhang Hen trembled slightly, and a pure white light flashed on his body.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaofan asked.
"What?"
Little Zhang Hen raised his head and looked at Jiang Xiaofan in a daze.
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head slightly. He saw the pure white light just now, but Little Zhang Hen didn't know about it. He was still immersed in the sadness of his grandfather's passing. Sometimes, he didn't have any awareness of the outside world.
"Whoosh …"
Jiang Xiaofan waved his hand and swept out a sword energy. It shattered the illusion that the enchanting woman had set up here, revealing a dark cave that went straight down. He didn't know how deep it was, but even with his current eyesight, it was difficult to see the bottom.
He placed Zhang Hen on his shoulder and gently leaped down. He slowly descended into the cave.
This was the tunnel that Ziweijiao, the four men, and the woman had opened up. It went all the way down to the ground. About two hours later, he appeared in an underground world. It was very spacious, dark, and humid. There was even a very small undercurrent not far away.
"I didn't expect there to be such a place in this mountain."
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised. The first time he came here, he hadn't grasped the Dao Scripture. But now, he could clearly feel that this place was extraordinary. This underground world was not man-made, and its existence was very ancient.
There was a silver light flashing under his feet. Ziweijiao and the others relied on the Realm Grinding Disc to sense the Spirit Dragon Vein, but Jiang Xiaofan didn't need to. He had the Dao Scripture. This was the Dao of Nature, and there was a method to control the momentum of the mountains and rivers.
He brought Little Zhang Hen with him as they traversed through the land. Soon, he came to a stop. A hazy light screen appeared in front of him. The qi here was even richer, so rich that it almost turned into liquid.
Jiang Xiaofan stretched out his big hand and grabbed the hazy light curtain. He immediately felt a powerful rebound force. Strands of Dao Law runes spread out in front of him and fiercely shook him away.
"The Gate of Nature formed by the heaven and earth!"
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised. This place was indeed extraordinary. The front was hazy, but he could sense an extremely vast spirit qi fluctuation. Behind the hazy natural barrier, there seemed to be a divine dragon lying there.
The Dao Scripture was all-encompassing. It could explore the mountains and rivers. After reaching a certain level, it could even change the layout of the heaven and earth. Naturally, there was a sacred technique to break the natural barrier. However, Jiang Xiaofan's current cultivation was not high enough to display such a secret technique.
"Hmph!"
He sneered and summoned the Mysterious Jade Cauldron, releasing Ziweijiao and the others.
"You …"
"You actually found this place. Damn it, we found it!"
"Are you trying to hit Ziweijiao?!"
The three men shouted angrily.
The enchanting woman's face turned ugly, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Let us go and leave this place. We'll pretend that nothing happened!"
"Pretend that nothing happened?" Jiang Xiaofan sneered in disdain. "You really dare to say that!"
"What do you mean?!"
The enchanting woman suddenly became angry. She was Ziweijiao's granddaughter. She was a little princess in Ziweijiao. No matter where she went, she was a bright star. But now, she was being treated like this.
Jiang Xiaofan was expressionless. He just looked at them indifferently. He looked at little Zhang Hen, whose face was full of hatred, and sighed slightly. After thinking for a while, he finally waved his right hand. The Mysterious Jade Cauldron trembled and took him in.
What he was about to do next was very cruel. Although he didn't think so when it was used on these people, and all of this was what they deserved, little Zhang Hen was still young. He didn't want the little boy to see the next scene. He didn't want to leave too much darkness in his young heart.
The Mysterious Jade Cauldron trembled slightly and returned to Jiang Xiaofan's sea of consciousness. He turned his head and looked at these people coldly. "I don't want to say the same thing twice. All of you will die. This will be the place where your soul will be buried!"
"You …"
"We … we are Ziweijiao's disciples!"
These people's ability to move was sealed. It was difficult for them to do anything. At this moment, Jiang Xiaofan's emotionless words made them tremble. For the first time, they felt a sense of horror and panic.
Jiang Xiaofan disdained these people's words. Even now, they still dared to threaten him with Ziweijiao. He sneered and said, "A group of self-righteous idiots. Do you think that the first person to die in this small village was accidentally killed by me?"
"You!"
The faces of these people suddenly turned pale.
"Didn't you want to sacrifice those simple villagers to open this place? Now, I'll fulfill your wish. I'll let you witness this scene with your own eyes. Death Sacrifice. Is that what you call it? Now, I'll sacrifice it for you!"
Jiang Xiaofan was smiling, but in the eyes of these people, he was like a demon. He directly stretched out his right hand, grabbed one of them, and strode towards the light curtain in front of him.
"You … what do you want to do? Don't mess around!"
The person's face suddenly changed. He was somewhat frightened.
"Mess around? I don't think so!"
Jiang Xiaofan sneered. He raised his hand and tossed the man into the air. He had already extracted the Death Sacrificial Art from the enchanting woman's sea of consciousness. At this moment, numerous dark runes spread out, imprinting themselves in front of the man and enveloping him.
"Ah, no, don't!"
The man screamed. It made one's scalp tingle, but it couldn't change Jiang Xiaofan's determination.
He was submerged in a mass of dark flames. Ancient blood curses filled the air around him, emitting an astonishing baleful aura. One could clearly see that this person's flesh and blood were shrinking. His hair fell off one by one, and his life force was quickly dissipating. It turned into another force and floated out. Most of it disappeared, while a small part rushed into the hazy light curtain.
Cultivation was a process that defied the heavens and went against the will of the world. However, the Death Sacrifice Technique was different. It was undoubtedly an evil technique, but it was also a kind of Dao that followed the will of the heavens. The sacrificed person's Dao Fruit was mostly sacrificed to the heavens and earth. Only a small part was kept for the caster to use.
"Buzz …"
The Gate of Nature in front of him was trembling like a water curtain. Some areas became thinner, and the dao runes lingering in front of him also became much dimmer. It was obvious that the death sacrifice was useful and was enough to break through this place.
The Death Sacrifice Technique continued. The man's screams disappeared, and a bloody light pulsed. Not long after, his entire body turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind. This was the cruelest method of Death Sacrifice Technique. Even the soul wouldn't be left behind.
This technique was cruel and merciless. It erased a person like this, and even their imprint would disappear completely. Whether it was the process or the result, it was hard to accept. Therefore, Jiang Xiaofan didn't want little Zhang Hen to see it.
However, when he used this technique on these people, Jiang Xiaofan didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. His eyes didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation. What these people did was not enough to atone for their sins even if they died ten thousand times. He didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt when performing the Death Sacrifice Technique.
"You … you really sacrificed him …"
"How can you be so cruel, you devil!"
The two men from the Ziwei Sect roared, but they couldn't hide the fear in their eyes. They were trembling non-stop. Even the enchanting woman had shrunk into a ball at this moment.
Jiang Xiaofan was unmoved. Cruel? He didn't think so at all. He slowly stepped forward and looked at the three: "When you wanted to do this to those ordinary villagers, did you ever think of the word 'cruel'? Did you ever think that one day, you might become someone else's sacrifice?"
"They are only mortals, lowly mortals. We are cultivators, how can they compare to us?!"
The man at the Seventh Heavenly Layer roared.
A calm smile hung on Jiang Xiaofan's face. With a wave of his silver hand, he grabbed this person and said, "That's right, they are mortals. They can't compare to you. So now, they are alive, and you have become sacrifices!"
"Ah!"
Screams of agony reverberated in the air. Soon, the man was reduced to ashes.
The light screen in front of them had become very thin and was about to disappear. Jiang Xiaofan grabbed the last man and brought him over.
"Don't … Don't, I beg you, please let me go. I was wrong, I … I will never find trouble with you in the future, really!" His face was full of horror. At this moment, he was so scared that his pants were wet.
"You all deserve to die!"
That was all Jiang Xiaofan said. The man began to burn. His flesh rapidly withered and he screamed. Under the Death Sacrifice, he was quickly reduced to ashes. Not even a soul imprint was left behind. He completely dissipated.
"You … let me go, I … I am Zi Feng Hong's granddaughter. If you kill me, you won't live either!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaofan's emotionless eyes looking over, the enchanting woman suddenly trembled. For the first time, she felt such a real fear. The shadow of death shrouded her. She was already scared to death.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at her with an especially cold expression. It could be said that all this was caused by this woman. He reached out his right hand and grabbed her like a dead dog. Before the sacrifice began, he directly slapped her.
"Even if you are the Jade Emperor's granddaughter, it is useless. You will still die!" His words were cold.
"No … don't, you can't do that. You will also die!"
The enchanting woman screamed. Looking at the ashes in front of her, she used all her strength to struggle and shout.
However, no matter what she did now, it would be difficult to change Jiang Xiaofan's determination. From the beginning, he didn't intend to let these people go. No matter what their origins were, the crimes they committed were unforgivable. They all deserved to die.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream was heard, but it soon disappeared. Just like the previous few people, the enchanting woman had turned into ashes under the Death Sacrifice. Everything had been wiped clean.
"Boom …"
At this moment, a vast amount of spiritual energy swept out. The hazy natural light screen in front of them became incomparably thin. Under the power of the sacrifice, it was finally broken. Vaguely, Jiang Xiaofan heard the roar of a dragon.
