Chapter 158: Destiny
“Little Mo, let’s find her first.”
Li Qian looked at Li Mo’s expression and understood what she was thinking.
He had already told Li Mo about the Demonic Mark.
After learning about the function of the Demonic Mark, Li Mo had a guess about her sister’s situation.
If her sister was really trapped within the Demonic Cult, how should she face it?
After all, she knew what the Demonic Cult had done, they were complete anti-humanists.
“Uncle, if my sister, she is really a member of the Demonic Cult, what should I do?”
Li Mo whispered.
Her voice was a little low, originally, deep down, she was full of anticipation for the sister she had never met.
At this moment, she didn’t want to see that sister anymore.
She would rather that sister had died more than thirty years ago.
“That depends on what role she plays in the Demonic Cult.”
Li Qian glanced at Li Mo and said calmly.
Li Mo was silent for a moment before she said, “If she really did something to harm humans, I won’t let her go.”
“What if she was forced?”
Li Qian asked back.
“I, I don’t know.”
Li Mo’s expression became a little depressed.
Although she said so, her heart was full of confusion about the future.
After nightfall.
Li Qian asked Li Mo to stay in the inn, while he left the inn, flying in the air, his powerful Spiritual Perception, containing the power of the mysterious Blood and Qi Sanctuary, detected the aura on the ground.
As long as there were Half-Demons, they definitely couldn’t escape his senses.
There must be many Half-Demons in the Demonic Cult.
These Half-Demons were hidden among the crowd, and it was difficult to find them when they were not demonized, unless it was a Celestial Being level existence, who carefully investigated one by one, it was possible to find some clues.
Because of this, it was very difficult to completely eliminate the Demonic Cult.
However, Li Qian’s Blood and Qi Sanctuary could sense the Demonic Qi fluctuations hidden in the Half-Demons’ bodies.
He was going to do a big cleanup now.
Although it was a waste of time, it was the best way he could think of.
Maybe he could take this opportunity to wipe out the hidden Demonic Cult.
Until late at night.
Li Qian suddenly felt his spirits lift because he sensed the aura of a Half-Demon.
Immediately, he swept his gaze and looked at the building below, which was a high-walled courtyard.
“Prefectural Governor’s Residence?”
Li Qian frowned slightly.
He didn’t expect the place where the Half-Demon appeared would be in the Prefectural Governor’s Residence.
Immediately, Li Qian conducted a carpet search of the Prefectural Governor’s Residence.
Not only the surface buildings, his Spiritual Perception and the power of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary also penetrated into the ground, and he discovered a large-scale underground palace facility hidden underground.
In these underground palace facilities, many Half-Demons and other humans were hidden.
If he hadn’t discovered the Half-Demon and then searched specifically, it would have been difficult to find so many Demonic Cult members hidden underground.
“Tsk tsk, a Demonic Cult stronghold is actually hidden under the Prefectural Governor’s Residence, it seems that there is a lot involved.”
Li Qian was amazed.
So, he secretly sneaked into the underground passage.
The location of this underground passage was more than ten meters deep from the ground, and the passage was quite wide and well-ventilated.
With his current cultivation realm, he was naturally unimpeded in such an underground passage, and no one could discover his existence.
Even if he walked past someone, that person wouldn’t notice.
Celestial Image level Sword Intent was enough to interfere with a person’s five senses, even the Spiritual Perception of Innate martial artists could also be interfered with.
“Found it.”
Suddenly, Li Qian’s eyes lit up.
Because in an underground palace, he found a woman who looked very similar to Li Mo.
Inside the underground palace.
The oil lamp was lit.
It was decorated like a woman’s boudoir.
A woman was sitting in front of the dressing table.
She raised her hand, revealing a dark green bat pattern.
Today, she risked sending out a letter, hoping that after her sister saw the letter, she could leave here.
If the people in the cult discovered her sister’s existence, I’m afraid her sister would also be trapped like her, unable to turn back.
At this time, a voice came from outside.
“Holy Maiden, the divine prayer ritual is about to begin.”
“I know.”
The woman said.
Her voice was cold and indifferent.
After there was no movement outside, the woman took a deep breath, tried her best to return to normal, and then tidied up her clothes before getting up and leaving the underground palace, walking down the passage.
Li Qian looked at the woman who looked very similar to Li Mo, and did not immediately make a move, but wanted to see what this Demonic Cult’s divine prayer ritual was?
He followed the woman to a huge underground palace.
The location of this underground palace was at least a hundred meters below the ground.
The decoration here was extremely luxurious, with all kinds of strange sculptures on the stone walls on both sides, and a huge statue stood in front of it.
Li Qian’s eyes fell on the statue.
It was not a petrified corpse, but a real stone statue.
The appearance of this statue looked like a vampire from his previous life, with a pair of huge bat wings on its back. Thinking of the bat pattern on Li Mo’s wrist, it was obvious that this was the demonic creature worshipped by the Demonic Cult.
There were more than a hundred people gathered in the underground palace.
In Li Qian’s perception, most of them had Demonic Qi on their bodies, obviously Half-Demons, only a few people had no Demonic Qi on their bodies, and they were often profound Innate martial artists.
There were two Grandmasters among them.
There were no Great Grandmasters.
When the woman came in, except for the two Grandmasters, everyone else stood up, obviously this woman had a high status in the Demonic Cult.
The woman came to the huge statue, first knelt down and bowed three times, then stood up, turned her back to the statue, and sat cross-legged on the futon.
The scene was quiet and solemn.
The woman closed her eyes and began to chant something like scriptures, and gradually, an invisible aura emanated from her body.
Vaguely, Li Qian saw a strange phantom gradually appearing on the woman’s body.
This phantom gradually rose and merged with the huge statue behind it.
In an instant, an invisible will full of majesty permeated the entire palace.
It was like a supreme ruler descending to the mortal world.
Everyone present, including the two Grandmasters, knelt down at this moment, their expressions becoming fanatical and devout.
“This will.”
Li Qian, who was standing on one side of the palace, showed a surprised expression on his face.
Although it was very weak, it was definitely Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness.
It was actually transmitted through the dark green bat mark on the woman’s body.
At this moment, he finally understood the function of the Demonic Mark.
It was actually equivalent to a connector, which could allow the Demon Saint’s Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness to be transmitted from a distant place through this mark.
Under the influence of Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness, Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters were absolutely unable to resist the bewitchment of such a powerful demonic consciousness.
Even Celestial Beings might not be able to hold on.
Li Qian was a Celestial Image level Celestial Being, and he also had the Time Bell to protect his body, so such a weak Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness had no effect on him.
At this time, he didn’t dare to move.
Because he wasn’t sure if he could hide from this Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness.
Fortunately, that Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness was very weak and didn’t have the ability to scan the entire venue, or it was all used to form auditory hallucinations and visual illusions, affecting the many Demonic Cult members present.
After all, this Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness was only transmitted through the Demonic Mark, not a real Demonic Descent.
Li Qian’s heart moved, and he immediately entered the influence of that Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed, and the entire underground palace underwent earth-shaking changes. A god that reached the sky and the earth stood on the throne, overlooking all living beings.
“Good guy, you really think of yourself as a god.”
Li Qian exclaimed in his heart.
After a while, that Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness left.
Li Qian obtained an important piece of information, this Demonic Cult was preparing for a Demonic Descent.
Now that he had figured out how the demonic creature communicated with the Demonic Cult, Li Qian didn’t need to hold back anymore.
◈◈◈
He waved his hand, and streaks of sword qi shot out. Before the people in the palace could react, the sword qi penetrated their heads, and they died instantly, without even having time to make a sound.
At this time, the woman seemed to have consumed a lot of mental and physical strength, her face was pale, and her body was trembling.
Suddenly, she looked sharply forward, her eyes wide open.
A figure seemed to walk out of thin air and came in front of her.
“You”
The woman wanted to say something, but suddenly felt as if her body had lost control, and she couldn’t help but follow behind Li Qian, flying towards the outside of the underground palace.
Boom!
The huge stone statue also collapsed.
In the inn.
Li Mo was staying in Li Qian’s room.
She curled up in a ball, as if she had just experienced some kind of pain.
Creak.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Li Qian floated in, followed by a woman who looked like a marionette.
“Little Mo, what’s wrong with you?”
Li Qian asked hurriedly when he saw Li Mo’s appearance.
“Uncle, you’re back.”
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Just now, this Demonic Mark on my wrist suddenly moved, and a terrifying voice kept bewitching me.”
When Li Qian heard this, he immediately knew that it was the Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness in the underground palace of the Prefectural Governor’s Residence that had appeared, and it also caused the Demonic Mark on Li Mo’s wrist to react.
After all, being so close, it would definitely be affected.
“It’s okay, it’s just the influence of the demonic creature, it doesn’t matter.”
Li Qian shook his head and said.
At this time, Li Mo suddenly saw the figure behind her uncle.
She was stunned at first, and then she looked carefully, and her face suddenly showed shock, “Sis, sister.”
She recognized her.
She looked almost exactly like her.
“Qing Su.”
The woman finally spoke, her voice trembling.
She didn’t expect that this terrifying Celestial Being would come with her sister.
The two looked at each other without speaking.
The scene became quiet.
Li Qian just sat by the side.
“Sister, are you really working for the Demonic Cult?”
After a while, Li Mo asked.
“Yes.”
The woman nodded slightly.
After all, she couldn’t hide it even if she wanted to.
“Why?”
Li Mo asked.
“No reason, this is our destiny.”
The woman sighed and said, “Qing Su, you could have escaped such a fate. But you practiced martial arts, and even became a Grandmaster, activating the Demonic Mark in your bloodline.”
The Demonic Mark on her body appeared when she was born.
Her sister didn’t have it at first.
But as she cultivated, comprehended Martial Intent, and broke through to Grandmaster, when her Martial Intent reached the Illusory Image level, there was a possibility of activating the Demonic Mark.
More than a year ago, she suddenly sensed her sister’s existence, and she knew that her sister was not only alive, but had also activated the Demonic Mark.
“Senior, please take Qing Su away from here, don’t let her cultivate anymore, maybe it can be delayed for a while.”
The woman looked at Li Qian, her tone pleading.
“What will happen if she continues to cultivate?”
Li Qian asked in a deep voice.
“The Blood God in the demon world, if he can’t complete the Demonic Ritual, will definitely forcibly descend his Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness through the Demonic Mark.”
The woman, Yu Su, said, “The Demonic Mark on Qing Su reacted before, indicating that she has been marked by the Blood God.”
“So, if you die, the Blood God can only choose Little Mo?”
Li Qian said.
“Senior, that’s true.”
The woman, Yu Su, said.
“Uncle, don’t kill my sister.”
Li Mo pleaded with tears streaming down her face.
Although she also hated the people of the Demonic Cult, seeing her sister right in front of her, she couldn’t bear to do it.
“I can give you a chance to redeem yourself, you should know the secret strongholds of the Blood God Cult in various places, right?”
Li Qian looked at the woman, Yu Su, and said in a deep voice.
He definitely couldn’t kill this Yu Su now, if Yu Su died, Li Mo might really become the shell for the Blood God of the demon world to descend into.
At least before he removed the Demonic Mark for Li Mo, this Yu Su couldn’t die.
“I know.”
The woman, Yu Su, nodded slightly.
As the Holy Maiden, she could communicate with the Blood God. Her status in the Blood God Cult was second only to the Cult Leader.
Even in a sense, her importance was far greater than that of the Cult Leader.
“Okay, then write down the relevant strongholds and personnel information.”
Li Qian nodded and said.
Although he had wiped out all the members of the Blood God Cult in the Prefectural Governor’s Residence, this was definitely only a part of it.
To completely eradicate the Blood God Cult, it had to be done as quickly as possible, otherwise, when the high-level members of the Blood God Cult in other places noticed the situation and hid, it would become very troublesome.
The room Li Qian lived in was the best room, and it had all the writing materials.
Yu Su began to record.
After a long time, she handed a few pieces of paper to Li Qian.
Li Qian just glanced at it and knew what was going on.
The strongholds of the entire Blood God Cult were spread across three provinces and fourteen counties, and there were hundreds of core members. The underground of the Prefectural Governor’s Residence in Yingli County City was the headquarters of the Blood God Cult.
However, most of the high-level members were not at the headquarters, but were distributed in various places, implementing the Demonic Ritual plan issued by the Blood God.
“Little Mo, keep an eye on her.”
Li Qian picked up the paper and said to Li Mo.
After speaking, he left the inn.
Anyway, this Yu Su’s cultivation had been sealed by him, and the headquarters of the Blood God Cult in Yingli County City had been wiped out by him, so there was no threat for the time being.
It would probably take some time for the high-level members of the Blood God Cult in other places to notice the situation.
He couldn’t really believe what this Yu Su said. As the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult, she was deeply involved, so he had to verify the authenticity of the information recorded on this paper.
After leaving Yingli County City, Li Qian flew directly towards Xing Province.
Xing Province, Yuyi City.
This big city was the hub connecting Xing Province and Xuan Province. It was accessible in all directions. When Li Qian arrived here, it was not yet dawn.
He flew all the way here without stopping.
There was an important stronghold established by the Blood God Cult here.
With the information provided by Yu Su, Li Qian easily found the location of the Blood God Cult’s stronghold, which was a sizable castle. He swept his Spiritual Perception, and immediately discovered many strands of Demonic Qi.
“It seems that this Yu Su didn’t lie to me.”
Li Qian thought to himself.
In this castle, he sensed several Grandmaster auras.
One of the auras was particularly strong, estimated to be at the Top-Tier Great Grandmaster level.
The most important thing was that this person contained a powerful Demonic Qi in his body.
“Is this the Cult Leader of the Blood God Cult?”
Li Qian was surprised.
What good luck.
The Cult Leader of the Blood God Cult was really in this stronghold.
According to Yu Su’s account, the Cult Leader of the Blood God Cult was also a descendant of the same Shepherd Family, but she and her sister were descended from the direct bloodline, while this Cult Leader was from a collateral branch, so he didn’t awaken the Demonic Mark.
The massacre of the village back then was done by this Blood God Cult Leader.
Because Yu Su and Qing Su’s father was unwilling to help the evildoers, he took his two daughters to live incognito, but in the end, they still couldn’t escape the disaster.
