<h4>Chapter 126 - Dark Yin Body</h4>


    “An altar?”


    Long Chen saw the girls fall to the ground in fear after the gates opened.


    They knew that a group of monsters was waiting for them outside, so none of them dared to walk out. Long Chen estimated that there were at least five hundred women.


    To think that the Great Priest would kill the five hundred beautiful women just like that. Long Chen was impressed and disgusted at the same time.


    “Why is Lingqing at the bottom of the altar?” Long Chen asked hurriedly.


    “I never thought she would be at the bottom of the altar either. I thought she would be among the women who were captured, but there’s a hidden space underneath the altar. Lingqing is bound to a metal pir there. Thankfully, she looks fine, just unconscious.”


    Long Chen sighed in relief. But ...


    His anger and killing intent reached their limit when he looked at the cocky Great Priest.


    Just then, the Great Priest ignored the pleas from the women and told everyone, “Many of you still don’t know why the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony will be different this time. Let me tell you now!”


    The Great Priest pressed a rock on the altar, and one of the bricks at the front of the altar moved to the side. A metal pole slowly rose up from underneath the altar, and everyone saw that a beautifuldy was chained to it.


    Sensing the vibration of the metal pole, Yang Lingqing woke up and took a deep breath when she saw the unfamiliar surroundings and the thousands of members of the Blood Saints.


    “She is our biggest surprise so far. Do you know why? It’s because ...”


    The Great Priest stared at her in amazement and admired her like an art of work. “That’s because she has the Dark Yin Body!”


    “Dark Yin Body?”


    “What’s the Dark Yin Body? Is it good?”


    Most of the sect members were at the Draconic Realm, so they didn’t know what the Dark Yin Body was.


    “You don’t need to know what it is. All you need to know is that a single drop of blood from her is worth a thousand women, and maybe even more ...”


    The Great Priest cackled, and the other sect members started staring greedily at Yang Lingqing. All of them were excited!


    “Thanks to the power of her blood, some of you will be able to make breakthroughs. Those at the Ninth Draconic Stage will be able to condense their Human Cores. After today, the Blood Saints will have at least thirty Human Core Realm cultivators! This is an important moment to strengthen the Blood Saints! Everyone, look forward to it!”


    The sect members hollered and cheered after the speech, especially those at the Ninth Draconic Realm. Their strength would skyrocket after they formed their Human Cores.


    The Great Priest turned to the five Sect Elders. “Sect Elders, I’m also excited to see which of you will be able to reach the Earthly Core Realm.”


    The five Sect Elders prostate themselves on the ground. “It’s all thanks to the nurturing of the Great Priest! If we can be stronger, we will be able to serve you better! Our lives belong to the Great Priest, and we swear we will do anything for you!”


    Seeing the five Sect Elders prostrating themselves, the rest of the sect members did the same. All of them were already at the brink of running wild!


    Yang Lingqing stared at the scene quietly.


    She had thought she would be able to live peacefully after the Bai family had been scattered, but to think she would be in danger once more. Long Chen had rescued herst time because he was close, but now it would not be the same.


    She was trapped here alone, and all of the enemies were leagues above her. Any one of the cultivators near her would be able to easily kill the Yang patriarch. She thought that not even God would be able to save her.


    Yang Lingqing had given up.


    She was afraid, but a certain someone kept shing in her mind while she was facing death. Suddenly, she wasn’t as afraid as before, and her body filled with strength.


    <i>I hope the Blood Saints will forget about the Yang family after my death. Brother, please concentrate on your cultivation and take revenge for me once you are stronger. I know you will ...</i>


    Yang Lingqing bit her lip and stood her ground. She raised her head and looked at the bunch of animals in front of her.


    <i>Maybe you won’t be embarrassed by me if I do this ...</i>


    The underground had been sealed shut from the outside world. She scanned the people and smiled. She wasn’t sure why she had done that.


    At the same time, every sect member was already boiling from excitement. The fear and resentment they had for the Great Priest had disappeared.


    Long Chen analyzed his surroundings. Yang Lingqing was right there, but the Great Priest was beside her. He could not be rash.


    Killing intent filled his body when he saw how bad Yang Lingqing looked.


    “Long Chen! Endure it! Now is not a good time!”


    Ling Xi had to persuade him multiple times before Long Chen snapped out of it.


    Explosions started to ring out while the sect members were cheering, and many people cried out of pain. Blood flew everywhere.


    Yang Lingqing raised her head in surprise. “Brother ...”


    But her expression froze because she did not see the familiar man. Instead, three strangers were doing their best to kill the sect members to reach the altar. For some reason, Yang Lingqing did not feel happy about it.


    She had thought Long Chen was here to save her, but when she saw that it wasn’t him, she felt disappointed.


    <i>What am I thinking? If he came to save me, he would just die ...</i>


    Yang Lingqing shook her head and smiled bitterly.


    The Great Priest saw what was happening and smiled cruelly. “Elder Yan, if they can’t handle it, you may attack.”


    One of the old men nodded and walked across the bridge of the blood pool.


    Long Chen had expected that the three of them would act the moment the sect members started cheering. Who would expect an attack at this point? When Li Jing and the other two attacked, tens of sect members were instantly killed.


    Long Chen saw Li Jing use flying knives as her weapons. By imbuing her Qi into them, each knife contained the power of a massive boulder as it prated the bodies of the sect members. Li Jing managed to take many lives under the protection of the two brothers.


    “Every member of the Blood Saints must die!”


    Arge number of sect members at the Draconic Realm were killed within seconds. It was only after arge portion of the sect members had died that the rest finally reacted. The sect members started to run away, while the Protectors ran towards the trio!


    The Protectors were at the mid Human Core Realm and were formidable foes. Li Jing and the other two exchanged nces before running towards where the crowd was. Not only could they hide themselves amongst the people, they could kill even more.”


    “Sister Li, let me deal with the Protectors! You go and rescue the women!”


    “No! You can’t fight them. We will go all-out and die together today!”


    The three of them massacred the sect members. Those at the Draconic Realm were unable to fight back against the trio. Li Jing was at thete Human Core Realm and the other two were at the mid Human Core Realm, so the only ones capable of fighting them were the Protectors.


    The Great Priest saw Li Jing within the crowd and chuckled. “So she’s at thete Human Core Realm. Elder Chen, Elder Yan, go and deal with her so she can’t disrupt us anymore.”


    After giving his orders, the Great Priest admired Yang Lingqing and her smooth skin. He even pped his hands when he saw Yang Lingqing’s cold eyes. “That’s right, that’s the spirit. I love strong girls like you. But unfortunately, you have the Dark Yin Body, so you will be my nourishment.”


    “Don’t get cocky. You animals are better off dead! I hope the lord of helles and takes away your life,” Yang Lingqing said in a calm tone.


    The Great Priestughed until he bent over. He pointed at Li Jing, but his gaze was still fixed on Yang Lingqing. “You think those three clowns can kill me? The two Sect Elders of the Blood Saints are more than enough to kill them ...”


    Yang Lingqing chuckled and closed her eyes. She decided to ignore him. The Great Priest was annoyed and was about to reprimand her when another explosion urred on the other side of the blood pool.


    “What’s going on?”


    The Great Priest turned around in shock.


    When Li Jing and the other two saw that two Sect Elders were targeting them, they lost all hope. Li Jing had no chance to rescue her sister with the Sect Elders around. All she could do was to kill as many of the Blood Saints as possible before her death!


    “Kill them all!”


    The three of them were culling swathes of the sect members as if they were wild beasts. Li Jing then ran towards the two Sect Elders, while the other two targeted the Protectors.


    “It’ll be worth it if we can kill even one of them! If we kill two of them, our sacrifice will have meaning!”


    Facing their desperate attack, the two Sect Elders remained calm. “You’re nothing but insects, yet you dare attack us?”


    Theyunched their attacks, and Li Jing flew backwards while blood sprayed out of her orifices. Although they were at the same cultivation level, there were two of them! Li Jing was outnumbered.


    “No! Even if I die, I will take one of them down!”


    Li Jing ignored her wounds and attempted to continue her attack when she felt a burning energy pull her back.


    She was shocked to see a blood-red mirage pushing past her.


    “Who is that?”
