Chapter 325 Sacrifice 5
Chapter 325 Sacrifice 5
Xingzai walked tremblingly to a point about five meters away from the central altar, then suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, as if under a spell. He secretly groaned inwardly. He hadn't wanted to come over and talk to Sheqing in the first place. It would have been better if Sheqing had just sat there in a daze, mumbling to himself. How wonderful that would have been!
But Huadi kept urging him to go over and say something to Sheqing. Although Xingzai was very reluctant, he couldn't disobey Huadi's orders, so he had to bite the bullet and move forward step by step towards the central altar.
When he got closer to Sheqing, Xingzi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then mustered up his courage. Using his eloquent mouth, he began to talk to Sheqing: "Um...um...I don't know how to address you, but your sister still has something to tell you."
Huazi knew that Sheqing was currently under some kind of restraint. Although Sheqing was in extreme confusion due to his sister's situation, as long as the restraint remained, Sheqing would eventually recover. That was why Huadi asked Xingzi to come quickly, to take advantage of Sheqing's confusion and find a way to do something. Otherwise, when Sheqing regained consciousness, it would be a big problem!
Sure enough, when Sheqing heard Xingzai mention his sister again, it was as if it was suddenly awakened. It disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then flashed in front of Xingzai like lightning, and asked anxiously: "Hurry up! Hurry up! What else does my sister want to say?"
Xingzai scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Uh... well... your sister asked me to tell you, if you ever run into her one day, tell her that instead of suffering endlessly in this place, it's better for her to just disappear. She really doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore."
However, in reality, Sheqing's sister never said such a thing. This was completely fabricated by Xingzai based on Sheqing's sister's idea of wanting to be eliminated and not wanting to harm others.
After hearing Xingzai's words, Sheqing was suddenly frozen in time, completely stunned. Various memories of her sister began to flash through her mind.
Sheqing was once an ordinary human. Born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour, her constitution was inherently weaker than that of an average person. Because of this, her parents treated her with extra care, showering them with love and affection, inadvertently neglecting her younger sister.
Although the younger sister was kind and loved her sister dearly, she was deeply resentful of her parents' partiality. This resentment built up over time, eventually leading to frequent arguments between the younger sister and her parents. After one heated argument, the younger sister resolutely chose to run away from home.
The elder sister rushed out of the house in a panic, looking for her younger sister like a headless fly. She walked through the busy streets, anxiously asking everyone who might have seen her younger sister. Finally, in a remote corner, the elder sister found her younger sister.
After the two sisters reunited, they hugged and cried. The elder sister concernedly asked her younger sister why she ran away from home, and the younger sister poured out all her grievances and dissatisfaction. The elder sister listened quietly, comforting her younger sister from time to time.
With her older sister's guidance, the younger sister gradually understood her parents' earnest wishes and realized that her behavior was somewhat impulsive and willful. She felt extremely regretful and blamed herself for running away from home.
However, just as the sisters were about to return home, something unexpected happened. Several masked men in black suddenly emerged from the darkness and grabbed them tightly like ghosts. The sisters were terrified and struggled desperately, but they were outnumbered and were eventually taken away by force.
At first, the two were locked up in a dark and damp room, relying on each other for survival. The younger sister was filled with guilt, thinking that it was because of her running away that her sister came out to look for her, and eventually both of them fell into the hands of these bad guys.
However, the truth was astonishing—the younger sister was actually implicated by her older sister! It turns out that the birth of a Sheqing is no easy task, requiring an extremely complex process. First, there must be a young girl born on a yin year, yin month, and yin hour—this is one of the key conditions for the birth of a Sheqing. And the older sister happened to fit the bill. Three such individuals were found, each placed at three different nodes.
Furthermore, the nurturing of Sheqing required the support of the Seventy-Two Earthly Evils Yin Soul Formation. Within this formation, the sister's position was crucial, for only at this specific point could Sheqing be conceived. Furthermore, for Sheqing to truly be born, a special condition had to be met—sheqing must know the truth. Only when sheqing realized that her loved ones were within the nurturing formation would her resentment be unleashed to its fullest extent.
Thus, at this crucial juncture, Sheqing was finally born. All of this was meticulously orchestrated by the Japanese. They revealed this information to Sheqing during her gestation. So, when Sheqing heard that her sister had been burdened with guilt until her death, believing she had let her sister down and let her down, she was filled with endless pain and resentment.
In fact, my sister had already become the target of the Japanese devils. They had been secretly observing my sister's every move, waiting for the right time to use her. Poor sister, she had no idea that she was just an innocent victim in this conspiracy.
Sheqing listened quietly to Xingzai's story about his sister, his mind becoming increasingly confused. When he heard that his sister would rather die than harm others, Sheqing felt as if a heavy hammer had struck him in the heart, and a sharp pain hit him.
Its figure suddenly flashed, returning to the central altar as swift as lightning. Standing in the center of the altar, Sheqing's body began to tremble slightly, as if a powerful force surged within it. Then, a turquoise light emanated from it. This light was faint at first, but grew stronger over time, gradually transforming from turquoise to dark green, and finally becoming completely pitch black.
Just as the light of Sheqing completely turned black, it appeared before Xingzi again like a ghost. Sheqing's speed was so fast that it was impossible to react. Xingzi didn't even have time to see its movements before he felt his body being grabbed by a huge force and thrown into the passage like garbage.
Sheqing's voice echoed in Xingzai's ears, full of pain and despair: "This is the last time I will let you go, go."
Xingzai rolled several times in the passage before finally stabilizing himself. He looked at Sheqing, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. However, when he tried to enter the underground palace again, Huadi suddenly blocked his way.
Huadi looked at Xingzai solemnly and said, "Don't go. The restrictions on Sheqing have been completely activated. It should have fully evolved by now. Your words have completely aroused its resentment and hatred. It has become even more terrifying. I can't let you take the risk of provoking it again."
Sheqing sat cross-legged on the central altar for a moment. Suddenly, as if enraged by a powerful force, it raised its head and let out a deafening roar toward the sky. This roar seemed to pierce the sky, resounding throughout the entire space, filled with endless anger and dissatisfaction.
After the roar, Sheqing's figure vanished from the scene like a ghost. Seeing this, Huadi's heart tightened. He immediately thought of a possibility - could Sheqing have used his ability to teleport to the other two nodes? If so, Uncle Feng, Yu Zhenzi, and the others would be in extreme danger.
Huadi was terribly anxious at the thought. He ignored the pain in his body and struggled desperately to stand. After much effort, he finally managed to prop himself up with one leg and then moved step by step towards the central altar. Each step seemed incredibly difficult, as if the weight of the world was bearing down on him. But he had only one thought in his mind: he had to stop Sheqing!
At the same time, Xingzai was also struggling to crawl on the ground. His injuries were also serious, but he still endured the severe pain and came to Huadi's side, supporting him and moving forward together. The two supported each other and approached the central altar step by step.
When they finally reached a point five meters from the central altar, Sheqing suddenly reappeared without warning. His appearance startled both Huadi and Xingzai, who stopped in their tracks and stared at him nervously.
Judging from Sheqing's reaction, it seemed that its restriction prohibited anyone from approaching within five meters of the central altar, or more accurately, from approaching within five meters of the Earth Pearl. This way, Uncle Feng and Yu Zhenzi should be safe from Sheqing's attack for the time being, but for Huadi and Xingzai, they were now in real danger.
