Chapter 880: Chapter 842: Day of the Full Moon (Please Subscribe)_1
In the days that followed, Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin shared their affections on the bed...
At that moment, Xu Sheng, who had put on his clothes, blinked his dark eyes a few times and mused, "Today is the day of the full moon!"
Next to him, Shangguan Lin, her delicate body also covered by a long robe, blinked her expressive beautiful eyes and spoke softly, "The day of the full moon, is it the day to sacrifice the disciples of the Xieling Sect?"
If she remembered correctly, that day was today—when the Sect Master and Elders of the Xie Ling Sect would sacrifice the lives of all Xieling Sect disciples to enhance their own cultivation levels!
Hearing this, Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Hmm! Shangguan, stay close to me today!"
To prevent the Sect Master and others from seizing the opportunity to strike at Shangguan Lin, it was safer to keep her by his side!
Shangguan Lin, standing by his side, didn't object but obediently nodded her head and said softly, "Hmm! I understand.
She knew that Xu Sheng was worried about her, and a warm feeling arose in her heart!
Just then, an extremely cold voice rang in Xu Sheng's ear, "All Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect, quickly assemble in my palace!"
Without a doubt, it was the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect!
Straightaway, Xu Sheng's dark eyes turned to Shangguan Lin and he said, "Let's go to the palace of the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect!"
Having spoken, he turned and pushed the door open, walking out, while Shangguan Lin stepped forward and followed...
...
After a while, inside the palace of the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect!
The eyes of several Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect were filled with astonishment as they looked at Shangguan Lin seated next to Xu Sheng...
They had never imagined that Xu Sheng would bring a female disciple to this place!
One of the Elders said in bewilderment, "Uh, Elder Xu, bringing a female disciple here, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Another Elder agreed, "Indeed, although this female disciple is very close to you, Elder Xu, bringing her to this occasion seems somewhat improper."
"After all, this is no place for a disciple to enter. Elder Xu, with this action, aren't you showing some disrespect to the Sect Master?"
"Elder Xu, perhaps you would ask this female disciple to wait outside?"
Upon hearing their words, Xu Sheng replied indifferently, "Rest assured, Elders, she will not disrupt our plans!"
Shangguan Lin, by his side, simply swept the present Elders with her gaze, without saying much...
No sooner had Xu Sheng finished speaking than an Elder countered, "But..."
Suddenly, the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect interrupted their conversation with a cold voice, saying indifferently, "Enough! Having one more person is trivial, but Elder Xu, do ensure you keep a close watch on her! We don't want any trouble arising later!"
The implication of his words was not a reminder but a threat!!
Without changing his expression, Xu Sheng replied, "Of course!"
Then, the Sect Master with icy eyes glanced at Shangguan Lin and spoke again, "Tonight is the night of the full moon. When night falls, we need all the Xieling Sect disciples for the sacrifice. All Elders, please be prepared!"
Even he, as composed as he was, couldn't help but feel a trace of excitement at the thought that today he might break through to the next realm...
Seeing this, other Elders spoke up, "Indeed! Sect Master, I have already given the order to seal off the entire Evil Spirit Sect! No one will escape!"
"Indeed! And I have specifically instructed all the disciples to leave their rooms by evening and gather at the site of the ceremony!"
"Sect Master, rest assured, with such a minor matter, there will absolutely be no mistakes!"
Satisfied, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect finally uttered a "Hmm!"...
Only Xu Sheng cunningly inquired, "Sect Master, after sacrificing these disciples, is it like baptism where we use that bloodlight to enhance our Cultivation Level?"
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect's cold eyes narrowed slightly, but considering that Xu Sheng was to be killed right there and then, there was nothing much to hide!
He responded indifferently, "It's not like that. After the disciples are sacrificed on the night of the full moon, the full moon will absorb their blood energy, and in the end, it will be bestowed upon us!"
Xu Sheng mused, "I see, but may I ask the Sect Master one more question?"
Perhaps this opportunity could be used to clarify "that place."
The Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, concealed beneath the Skull Mask, furrowed his brows. Clearly, he was beginning to grow impatient...
Yet he still replied coldly, "What question?"
Xu Sheng's ink-black eyes stared intently at the former, asking earnestly, "May I know if the Sect Master could tell me exactly what 'that place' refers to?"
Hearing this question, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect felt an even more intense desire to kill Xu Sheng...
He explained coldly, "'That place'? It refers to the true Cultivation World!"
While the place they currently resided was already populated with so many cultivators, at best, it was merely an insignificant corner of the Cultivation World!
It was precisely because he had experienced the terror of "that place" that he went to great lengths to break through the Mahayana Realm and reach levels above it!
"Only then is there a very slim possibility to enter the true Cultivation World!"
Xu Sheng thought to himself, "No wonder my seal remained at the fourth layer. It seems my previous guesses were correct—there is an even stronger world beyond this!"
Shangguan Lin, who was nearby, also gained a rough understanding after hearing so much.
...
Time swiftly passed, and dusk had quietly arrived; the sky above gradually saw the rise of a crescent moon, coating everything beneath with layers of silvery gray…
At this moment, almost all the disciples had gathered at the site of the Evil Spirit Sect's ritual!
The Xieling Sect Disciples began discussing, "Why have the Elders summoned so many of us here? Could it be a major ritual baptism?!"
"It's difficult enough for two out of twenty people to survive; if we really undergo such a large-scale ritual, many will likely die!"
At that moment, an Elder at the forefront called out in a cold voice, "All Xieling Sect Disciples! Silence yourself at once!"
Almost instantly after these words were spoken, the hubbub disappeared...
Seeing this, the Elder continued, "You do not have to worry. Today, you have been assembled not for a baptism, but to help enhance your natural talents!"
"However, it can only be done when the moon is full."
After these words, the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect could hardly remain calm, and they burst out in shock, "What?! Enhance our talents? For real?!"
"This must be true! Haven't you seen that both the Sect Master and the Elders are here?"
"Sheesh, I never thought our Evil Spirit Sect actually had a method to enhance our talents; that's just outrageous!"
"If we can really improve our talents, waiting for a while means nothing!"
"Exactly, exactly!! If we can improve our talents, maybe our Cultivation Level will skyrocket too!"
In just a brief exchange, these Xieling Sect Disciples were easily manipulated...
