That really hit him where it hurt.
Duo Ji was badly shaken and flagged after hearing that. At this moment, he completely lost the will to live. All the hope he had for so many years disappeared at this moment. The faith that supported him collapsed instantly.
Ye Leng’an looked at Duo Ji and said, “You’ve done too much evil. If you still want to accumulate karmic merit for your descendants and offset the sins, then tell me now, where did you hear about this method to break the curse?”
At this point, Duo Ji felt that he had nothing to hide. “I can tell you, but you have to let my family off. I did everything. It has nothing to do with them.”
Although Ye Leng’an did say that she would only take the lives of Duo Ji and the four elders, he was still worried. He needed her to promise him to let his family go. He was unable to protect others. The only people he wanted to save now were his family.
“Don’t worry about that.” Ye Leng’an nodded and said, “Since I’ve said it, I won’t touch anyone else except for you and the four elders. However, you and I both know that everyone in the village is an accomplice. Even if I don’t do anything, the heavens will still punish them.”
The heavens saw every act of man. The Heavenly Dao was very fair. Many people thought that the bad things they did would not be discovered. However, they did not know that everything people did was seen by the Heavenly Dao.
Duo Ji didn’t care about retribution. He only wanted his family to be safe. So, after receiving Ye Leng’an’s reply, he relented.
“Actually, this method of breaking the curse didn’t appear in my generation. The position of the tribe leader has always been passed down from father to son in our Duo family. When I inherited the position of the tribe leader, my father taught me this method. He told me that he once saved an old immortal, and that old immortal told him the method.”
“Old Immortal?” Ye Leng’an frowned. “Did your father know anything else about this old immortal?”
She did not believe that there were any immortals in this world. Moreover, if he was really an immortal, why would he teach them such a cruel method? Wouldn’t it be better to directly break the curse for them?
“According to my father, that old immortal could ride on a sword and travel through space.” Duo Ji tried to remember. “And he could take things out of thin air or something. Back then, that old immortal suddenly fell from the sky, and my grandfather happened to pick him up and bring him home. Later, when the old immortal woke up, he found out that our village was cursed. In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he told us that this method could break the curse. That is, on the night of the full moon, we should use the purest blood of a girl with an Extreme Yin body to stain the pattern on the altar. Then, our curse will be broken. The altar was also built under the guidance of the old immortal.”
After listening to Duo Ji’s narration, Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling looked at each other and immediately knew that they both had guessed it.
The so-called old immortal mentioned by Duo Ji was not an immortal at all. He should be a cultivator. With the cultivation of a certain level, it would not be difficult for a cultivator to ride a sword. But who was that cultivator? Why did he teach the people of this village such a cruel method? Moreover, this method of breaking the curse was simply nonsense.
However, Ye Leng’an had gone to the sacrificial altar as a sacrifice. Huangfu Ruiling should be not far away. But at that time, no one noticed that something was wrong with the sacrificial altar. Later, the two of them fell into the underground tomb. When they came out again, the altar had already collapsed.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, they did not see what kind of pattern was on the sacrificial altar.
Huangfu Ruiling stepped forward and said with a solemn expression, “What exactly is the pattern on your sacrificial altar? Can you draw it now?”
Ye Leng’an had obviously thought of this point as well.. “The location of the sacrificial altar was also chosen by that so-called old immortal, right?”
