Chapter 2207 - 2196: Blood Pond

Lin Zifeng never believed in supernatural stories about ghosts, thinking that although this cold wind was a bit unusual, it was just because of years of disrepair and no ventilation, resulting in slightly chilly air inside.

Taking a torch from the carried bag, Lin Zifeng snapped his fingers, a golden light flashed, and in the originally dark Human Sacrifice Tower, a light rose.

By the light, the two of them saw the scene before them clearly, causing Lin Zifeng’s right hand, holding the torch, to suddenly tremble.

Lin Zifeng looked pale, his body slightly trembling, while Dongfang Ziyue had already turned her head, almost retching.

"This... it’s actually a Blood Pond!" Lin Zifeng’s voice was shocked, the reflection in his eyes full of ghostly crimson red.

In front of them was a pool platform with a radius of about ten meters, rolling with blood. From a distance, Lin Zifeng could feel the heavy stench emanating from it.

For the first time, Lin Zifeng started to miss the fresh air outside. Such a heavy bloody stench, fortunately, he usually didn’t have much need to eat, otherwise he might have already been vomiting on the side!

After a long time, the two regained clarity. Lin Zifeng pretended to be calm as he walked toward the center of the Blood Pond.

Sickening as it was, Lin Zifeng was very calm in his heart, standing five meters away from the Blood Pond; he raised a golden light in his hands.

"Puff... Splatter..."

The golden light sphere from Lin Zifeng’s right hand hit the Blood Pond, and as it entered, the blood in the pool suddenly sprayed out. In no time, the ground was dotted with dark red liquid.

Seeing this, Dongfang Ziyue’s brow furrowed even more. Just now, Lin Zifeng’s action caused the blood inside to gush out, making the bloody smell in the tower even heavier, causing her already upset stomach to churn again. It was really too nauseating, if she could, she really didn’t want to come to such a place.

"Lin Zifeng, what are you doing for fun? Is this amusing?" Dongfang Ziyue’s words carried a hint of anger. Lin Zifeng did not answer, only his expression became even graver.

After a long silence, Lin Zifeng slowly spoke, "Miss Dongfang, did you just notice the depth of the Blood Pond?"

Lin Zifeng’s tone was as calm as an ancient well, but it made Dongfang Ziyue suddenly surprised, her delicate body instinctively taking a few steps back.

Despite the nausea before, Dongfang Ziyue’s eyes never left the Blood Pond, the blood splash triggered by Lin Zifeng’s Elemental Power was... nearly ten meters deep!

Moreover, despite the substantial power of Lin Zifeng’s strike, the two of them didn’t even reach the bottom!

This means the Blood Pond buried underground definitely exceeds ten meters!

"Ssss..."

Understanding this, Dongfang Ziyue couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The amount of blood one person has doesn’t need much explanation, but how much human blood would it take to fill a Blood Pond almost to the brim?

Clearly, the blood of 18 generations of clan daughters who were sacrificed alive is absolutely not enough!

"I think, besides the Five Supreme Venerables, no one who entered during those eighteen sacrificial events came out alive, right?"

Lin Zifeng’s words held a bit of intrigue, though Dongfang Ziyue was shocked, she could not refute.

Only then did she understand why the sacrificial event was so important in the Beiyao Ancient Clan, yet the Five Supreme Venerables did not allow the clan members to observe inside.

Because whoever went in, besides them, had no chance of coming out alive! If a hundred or thousand people vanished at once, the Five Supreme Venerables dare not defy the ancestors’ will. However, such a sudden disappearance of so many people would undoubtedly cause panic within the clan.

"Alright, don’t be scared anymore, you should understand, the fate of the weak is like this! If you don’t want to use your own blood to fill this Blood Pond, then come over quickly."

At this time, Lin Zifeng had already adapted to the horror within the Human Sacrifice Tower, squatting down to carefully observe the Stone Wall soaked in blood water, frowning tightly.

"The patterns on this are so strange..."

Lin Zifeng muttered softly to himself, and so did Mu Ruoyun in his heart!

Hearing Mu Ruoyun’s voice, Lin Zifeng was suddenly startled, asking nonchalantly, "Ruoyun, what do you mean? Do you recognize these patterns?"

Seeing Mu Ruoyun not immediately responding, Lin Zifeng instructed Dongfang Ziyue to check out the patterns on the Stone Wall on the opposite side.

Forcing herself against the discomfort in her heart, Dongfang Ziyue created lotuses with her steps, her delicate figure half-crouched, frowning as she carefully observed.

At this point, the pleasant yet perplexed voice of Mu Ruoyun echoed in Lin Zifeng’s heart, "This... seems to be depicting a Formation, but what kind I don’t quite remember, although it seems like I’ve seen it somewhere."

Seen it...

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng was even more shocked, clenching his fists to remind himself to calm down and organize his thoughts.

Having encountered a lot of shocking things since entering this Beiyao Ancient Clan, but even combined, it was not as terrifying as entering this Human Sacrifice Tower tonight!

"Since Ruoyun is a Spiritual Artifact of the Beast God, she should have always been in the Demon Beast Forest, and even when discovered by Athena, she was regarded as a treasured possession..."

Could it be that this Formation is related to the Demon Beast Forest again? For a moment, Lin Zifeng felt his head swell, thinking that compared to the perilous Demon Beast Forest, this Beiyao Ancient Clan was like a pure land!

Shaking his head, Lin Zifeng was too lazy to think so much, whatever the Formation is, his purpose here was to turn the Human Sacrifice Tower into ruins, as for the rest...

"Bang!"

A loud noise shocked Dongfang Ziyue, who was originally squatting there observing, causing her delicate body to almost fall to the ground. Steadying herself, Dongfang Ziyue looked up coldly reproaching, "Lin Zifeng, don’t be so startled, okay? Let me know beforehand next time!"

Tilting his head, Lin Zifeng smiled mischievously, "Hehe... sorry, I just wanted to throw a punch to see this live..."

Before finishing his words, Lin Zifeng’s direct gaze froze there, and Dongfang Ziyue, seeing this, turned her head in puzzlement, following Lin Zifeng’s line of sight.

And subsequently, Dongfang Ziyue, like him, fell into an immense shock. The difference was that the blood color that had just returned to Dongfang Ziyue’s lovely face turned extremely pale once more...

Lin Zifeng had just used Elemental Power to throw a punch, raising dust from the Stone Wall, beneath which lay a fine streak of blood-red liquid.

"Swish swish..."

The red liquid dripped onto the stone slab, the sudden sound carrying a bloody smell assaulting the two...

"How is this possible, this is a Stone Wall, why is it bleeding!"

Lin Zifeng looked incredulous, hurriedly ran to the other side, and tapped a few times with his hand. Hearing the dull sound, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
