C630 The Ancient Priest

When the Blue Guard heard this, the guards around Dongfang Jin became even more concentrated.

After a while, the group finally reached the end.

At the end was an empty water cave. This was a water cave under the Lin City River.

It was daytime now, so the light at the bottom of the Lin City River was still sufficient.

However, it was precisely this sufficient sight that allowed Dongfang Jin and the others to see the things inside more clearly.

The water cave could hold about forty to fifty people, and there were at least a hundred corpses piled up inside.

Furthermore, all of them were young women!

These women seemed to be piled up in a random manner, but in reality, they were arranged according to a certain logic and method.

Moreover, they were all tied together by the red rope that Dongfang Jin had picked up earlier. Moreover, the red rope was so deep that bones could be seen. Bright red blood flowed along the red rope.

There was a strange knot on each section of the red rope. The blood was all gathered on that knot, as if it was some kind of sacrificial offering.

These women all had pale yellow faces. Their eyes were open, and their eyeballs were white. With just a glance, one could feel an endless cold and strange aura.

This place was simply an extremely terrifying hell on earth. Even the blue clothed guards who were used to seeing bloody and cruel scenes could not help but be shocked by this cruel and cold scene in front of them.

Over a hundred young women had all died miserably. Those who could do such a thing were simply insane!

Qing Yi pursed his lips and walked to Dongfang Jin's side. With a solemn expression, he asked, "Young Master, can you tell what this is?"

They had come here to solve the source of the plague, but the current situation was extremely strange. If they couldn't find a way to solve it, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to save the city.

Dongfang Jin's brows were dyed with a sharp color, and his expression was cold and gloomy.

"This is the ancient sacrifice!"

When Qing Yi heard this, his expression changed dramatically, "An ancient sacrifice?"

Sensing that he had lost his composure, Qing Yi quickly withdrew the expression in his eyes.

However, the shock in his eyes had yet to fade. He tilted his head to look at the rows of corpses.

In his mind, he recalled the information regarding the ancient sacrificial ceremony.

The ancient sacrificial ceremony was an ancient sacrificial formation that was arranged using the corpses of 121 young women between the ages of 15 and 25.

The 9981 women were tied with red ropes to a dead knot that was specially used for the sacrificial rites. After that, their left arms were cut open.

Because they were in the formation, blood would flow out from all over their bodies from the places they were cut. After that, the blood would flow along the red ropes to the dead knots.

The remaining twenty women were arranged according to the four positions of heaven, earth, black, and yellow as well as the corresponding position of the death knots.

This kind of sacrificial method was a cruel and cruel sacrificial method, and the target of the sacrificial method was also shocking.

What it worshiped was the dark souls of the world, and what it attracted was the death Qi of the dark souls!

This death energy gathered together and stained the bodies of these girls, causing their corpses to rot into a kind of poisonous body.

And these poison bodies were placed under the city river, obviously because the poison spread out and polluted the water source, causing the plague in the city to erupt uncontrollably overnight.

This was also the reason why the plague could not be controlled and quickly spread. The mortality rate was extremely high.

It was because this kind of sacrifice was the most vicious and vicious of the ancient formations. Moreover, it was listed as a forbidden formation and had not been passed down in the world for a hundred years.

The reason why they knew about it was also because when they followed young master to practice in Skysnow Mountain, they were fortunate enough to see the secret manuals in Skysnow Mountain!
