Chapter 286 Blood Sacrifice, Shenger's Decision.
The red mist was filled with an extremely evil aura, a chilling cold that seemed to freeze one's very bones.
As the evil, icy red ripples slowly spread, they had already covered the entire area in the blink of an eye.
"Heh heh heh! Become our sacrifice obediently!"
Accompanied by the black-robed man's sinister laughter, Xuan Mo quickly noticed that the red light emanating from him slowly formed a barrier, enveloping everyone.
Furthermore, when the red mist and light touched the pirates in the stands, those who had been agitated by the situation gradually became quiet and dazed.
At the same time, Xuan Mo found his spirit gradually affected by the red light. If it weren't for the Ice and Fire Dragon King protecting his mind, he probably wouldn't be much better off than the pirates.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Accompanied by the sound of flowing liquid, Xuan Mo immediately looked down at the ground beneath his feet… no, to be precise, at the altar beneath his feet.
At this moment, the patterns on the entire altar seemed to come alive, emitting a bewitching, blood-red light that appeared eerie.
Under the influence of this light, the pirates' blood slowly flowed into the patterns, and even their corpses shriveled up in a bizarre manner.
"You brat, stop them..."
"I know!"
Xuan Mo, his face unusually grave, looked around and abruptly interrupted the Ice and Fire Dragon King.
He knew that he had just become an accomplice to this evil soul master.
And now, in less than three breaths, the pirates had begun a gruesome suicide.
Their skin was torn open, blood spurted everywhere, and even their internal organs were pulled out.
As the blood spilled onto the ground, it began to condense, forming streams that flowed into the patterns on the altar.
At this moment, if someone looked closely, Xuan Mo's eyes were filled with intense ferocity, and a dense killing intent was constantly erupting from within him.
"You evil soul masters deserve to die! Everyone, attack! We must interrupt their actions!"
Before his words even finished, Xuan Mo, taking advantage of the fact that his identity hadn't been exposed and the black-robed men weren't on guard, preemptively used his 100,000-year soul skill to catch them off guard.
"Gluttonous Divine Thunder Tribulation!"
As the eerie red soul ring flashed, it instantly triggered changes in the sky above.
In an instant, lightning crackled everywhere, and nine lightning tribulation forces directly bombarded the altar and barrier.
In a flash, under the powerful restraint of the lightning tribulation force, the seven unsuspecting black-robed men were all interrupted from their blood sacrifice, and even suffered varying degrees of soul power backlash as a result.
"Damn it! I didn't expect it to be you! No wonder I hadn't seen any of you guys since I got the news that you came to the island; it turns out you were all disguised!"
The leader of the black-robed men looked at Xuan Mo's eerie 100,000-year soul ring, his anger rising from his heart, his eyes turning bloodshot, and he roared out.
However, some subtle hints in his words made Xuan Mo extremely serious.
But the black-robed man didn't give him a chance to think, choosing instead to attack directly.
"Die! Attack!"
The leading black-robed man immediately activated seven spirit rings, then flashed to Xuan Mo's side. "Die!"
Two slender swords thrust out from his wide black robe, one aimed at Xuan Mo's head, the other at his heart.
However, before Xuan Mo could even react, a massive wave barrier rose up in front of him, blocking both swords.
Then, Shenger appeared before Xuan Mo, a powerful shockwave erupting from his fist, causing the black-robed man, with his crossed swords, to stagger backward several meters.
At the same time...
Ryder, Mulin, Wilda, and Jin Sanqian suddenly appeared, joining forces to stop the other six black-robed men who were suffering from the backlash, preventing them from providing any assistance.
"Hehehe! Perfect timing to wipe them all out!"
But to Xuan Mo and the others' surprise, the black-robed man remained completely calm in the face of the current situation, instead laughing out loud.
"Who exactly are you!?"
Facing the frowning Xuan Mo, the leader of the black-robed men directly lifted his cloak.
And the figure under the cloak was none other than Longji.
"So it really is you?!"
"Hehehe! Of course it's me."
Longji spread his arms, grinning maliciously.
"But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such powerful strength."
"I didn't expect you to have fallen so low as to become an evil soul master. No wonder you broke through to the Soul Saint realm in just one month."
Facing the disgust on Xuan Mo's face, Longji didn't care at all, because for him, obtaining powerful strength was the most important thing, and he didn't care whether the cultivation method was evil or not.
"Heh ha ha! Shenger, are you sure you want to stand on their side and betray me!?"
Longji ignored Xuanmo and instead turned his gaze to Shenger.
Although he was laughing, Xuanmo and Shenger both sensed a strong killing intent and chilling aura emanating from his smile.
"I think I've made the right choice."
Shenger's expression darkened noticeably after Longji revealed his identity.
However, when faced with Longji's question, Shenger's expression remained exceptionally firm.
As Shenger met Longji's gaze, he stepped forward. "Longji, from today onwards, I will join them! This has nothing to do with you!"
Longji's face contorted with rage. "Shenger! You've truly betrayed me!"
"I helped you before only for Yun'er's sake. But today you broke your promise, continuing to use Yun'er as a reward. So our agreement is broken; it's not betrayal at all."
"Hahaha! Very well, very well!"
Confirming Shenger's resolve to betray him, Longji laughed in fury. "Since you've made your choice, I'll let you watch your Yun'er die before your very eyes!"
With that, he stepped back, preparing to attack the unconscious Xian Yun'er in the iron cage.
However, just as he turned his head, an unexpected event occurred. "Damn it! Where did she go?!"
The iron cage that had been on the platform now had a huge hole melted in it.
As for the unconscious Xian Yun'er inside, she was nowhere to be seen; she had been rescued.
"Longji, it's time to settle the score."
At this moment, Shenger made a sudden move. His third spirit ring lit up, and he reached out to grab something, instantly gathering a powerful stream of water in his palm.
