Chapter 1247: Chapter 1246: Fell into a trap? "Glug, glug..." Following the sound of giant bats, a massive blood-colored bat emerged from the dark passage. This blood-colored bat was over ten meters long, its wings akin to the wings of an airplane. Humans seemed incredibly insignificant in front of it. It flew next to the throne conjured by the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace using Inner Qi, its crimson eyes looking down upon everyone. "Sacrificial goods for the Supreme Bat!!!" Just then, Lord Bai Long’s voice rang out again. Black Sorcerer Palace ordinary members could be seen from the entrance of the cave, escorting human sacrifices they had captured toward the inside of the cave. Everyone was being tied up with ropes, arranged in several lines, like prisoners being escorted by guards. These escorted individuals came from countries all over the world. There were as many as several thousand! Jin Weishan and Xiao Mingxuan could also be seen among the crowd. However, they weren’t in the line of sacrifices but rather within the ranks of the Black Sorcerer Palace. They now truly belonged to the Black Sorcerer Palace. Even Xiao Mingxuan’s body had been inscribed with Black Sorcerer Text by Hei Tu. This proclaimed his membership in the Black Sorcerer Palace even more. At the moment the sacrifices were escorted in, Lord Bai Long’s voice sounded once more. "Hail the Supreme Bat, partake in these sacrificial goods!" As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Dongfang realized they were about to sacrifice these living people to the Demon King Fire Thunder Blood Bat. "Screech, screech..." The Fire Thunder Blood Bat opened its mouth and with a fierce inhale, sucked in over a dozen people from Yinghua Country, swallowing them whole. Clearly, that wasn’t enough. With each act of sacrifice, the Fire Thunder Blood Bat needed to consume hundreds of people. The remaining sacrifices were butchered like wild beasts and poultry, their fresh blood poured into the recesses of the six-pointed star. This was an evil Black Witchcraft Ceremony, using the offering of fresh blood and the dead to cultivate. Even among the extremely evil practices of Black Witchcraft, it was one of the most wicked Cultivation Methods. "I never imagined someone would still use this ’Blood Spirit Sacrifice Method’ to cultivate. It’s just too cruel!" The Sovereign Witch in the Lin Dong Dragon Ring couldn’t help but communicate his grief to Lin Dong through Mental Power at this moment. Having received the inheritance from the Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong naturally knew just how wicked this ’Blood Spirit Sacrifice Method’ was as a Cultivation Technique. Lin Dong initially thought that the ’Devouring Technique’ was somewhat evil, and if it fell into the hands of someone wicked, the thought alone was unfathomable. But the ’Devouring Technique’ was nothing compared to this ’Blood Spirit Sacrifice Method’. The ’Devouring Technique’ mainly devoured the Inner Qi and Blood Essence of martial artists, but this ’Blood Spirit Sacrifice Method’ used the fresh blood of a large number of common people for sacrifice to cultivate... To achieve the same increase in realm, the ’Devouring Technique’ might need to devour a few martial artists, but this ’Blood Spirit Sacrifice Method’ would require the sacrifice of tens of thousands of ordinary people. The calamity caused by both is incomparable! Seeing the Black Sorcerer Palace members about to sacrifice all of the ’sacrificial goods’ here, Lin Dong’s expression also changed completely. Their main force had not yet arrived, and according to the plan, they could not reveal themselves now. But now he truly couldn’t care about that anymore. There were over a thousand innocent people here, more than a hundred compatriots from Dragon Country. He couldn’t just stand by and watch them be killed. At that moment, Lin Dong quickly communicated to Red Rat, Grey Snake, and Ye Wuyou: "Begin the action!" After he sent the message, Red Rat and Grey Snake burst into hysterical laughter. Suddenly, Grey Snake shouted loudly, "Master Lin, you have been surrounded by us!" "Swoosh~~~" As soon as he said this, Lin Dong and Ye Wuyou looked toward Grey Snake and said coldly, "Grey Snake, are you preparing to betray me again?" "What betrayal? I have never relied on you. To tell you the truth, I have already used a mysterious Black Witchcraft from our Black Sorcerer Palace to transmit all the information from thousands of miles away to the host!" "The host told us to turn the tables and lure you and your people to Hibiscus Island. Then, we would trap and corner you like catching turtles in a jar!" "Master Lin, you have been played, hahaha..." As soon as Grey Snake finished speaking, all members of the Black Sorcerer Temple, including the Twelve Zodiacs, surrounded Lin Dong. Red Rat also said at the moment, "Master Lin, although you are an Earth Realm martial artist, you are still too young after all. What makes you think that with your little strength, you could extinguish our Black Sorcerer Palace?" "Your strength is a hundred thousand miles inferior to our host!" Grey Snake even mocked, "Master Lin, you are too foolish, deceived by us." Hearing their words, Lin Dong’s face showed a hint of ruthlessness; he sneered, "Grey Snake, Red Rat, I have long known that you harbored ill intentions and did not truly join me." "I suppose you dare to do this because your host promised you to help remove the ’Asura Needle’ from your bodies, right? That’s why you dare to be so bold." "But do you really think your host can remove the Asura Needle for you? You two are nothing but her expendable pawns." Surely, hearing these words, both Grey Snake and Red Rat’s faces changed dramatically with terror. They both knelt down and looked toward the host of Black Sorcerer Palace seated on the throne in the void and said: "We beg the host to act and help us remove the ’Asura Needle’ from our bodies!" However, the host of the Black Sorcerer Palace remained seated on the throne, replying indifferently, "The little brat is right; I cannot remove the Asura Needle from inside of you two." "Indeed, you are my expendable pawns." "What?" Hearing this, both Grey Snake and Red Rat had extremely ugly expressions and were overwhelmed with fear. At this moment, Lin Dong laughed coldly again: "You are truly the height of foolishness. Previously, if you had followed me wholeheartedly and joined me in annihilating this Black Sorcerer Palace, perhaps I might have spared your two dog lives!" "But now, you don’t even have the privilege to die yet!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 "I want you to live a life worse than death!" "Ah..." After Lin Dong finished saying the words ’worse than death,’ screams burst forth from the mouths of Grey Snake and Red Rat. That was because Lin Dong had already activated the ’Asura Needle,’ making it begin to take effect. Instantly, Grey Snake and Red Rat felt that intolerable pain within their bodies once again. That pain was more intense than Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring Heart! More excruciating than Ten Thousand Years Cold Ice Penetrating Bone Marrow! Even more agonizing than fire burning! Watching the two emit heart-wrenching screams, even these relentlessly evil Black Sorcerer Temple members felt a chill run down their spines. "Spare me, Master Lin, spare me..." "I am now willing to rely on you, to join you in killing these people from the Black Sorcerer Palace, spare me, spare me..." Grey Snake and Red Rat shrieked, and this time, perhaps they truly wanted to join Lin Dong... However, Lin Dong indifferently responded to them, "Now, it’s too late." "And besides, I don’t need you anymore." Having said this, he looked toward the host of the Black Sorcerer Palace sitting atop the throne in the void. The host of the Black Sorcerer Palace also looked back at him with a venomous gaze...
