Chapter 86 Joining the Blood Cult
Chapter 86 Joining the Blood Cult
Who does Tian Lin know outside the clan?
Moreover, the appearance of this little beggar was strange. Needless to say, Han Yue and Senior Brother Lu both knew that there was something fishy going on.
Then Senior Brother Lu took the envelope from the little beggar with one arm, tore open the envelope and pulled out a piece of letter paper from it.
"It's Wang Tong. He wants us to go to Wangjiaji now."
Tian Lin took the letter from Senior Brother Lu, took a look at it and asked the little beggar:
"When was this letter given to you?"
"It was given to me by a bearded man five days ago. He said that I have a unique bone structure and am an excellent candidate for cultivating immortality. He also said that Master Tian is a person who cherishes talents and is kind-hearted.
As long as I get his recommendation, Master Tian will definitely accept me as his disciple. Master Tian, is what he said true? "
What about 'Master Tian values talents' and 'a beautiful person with a kind heart'? Tian Lin guessed that the little beggar added them himself.
He wanted to flatter himself and please himself, so he came up with some inappropriate words.
"Forget about accepting you as my apprentice. I'll give you some silver. You can take the silver and go."
Tian Lin took out a small bag of change from his pocket and threw it into the little beggar's arms.
But the little beggar refused to take the silver. Instead, he knelt on the ground and said:
"Quzhou is now ruled by the Blood Cult, and there is no peace in the entire Zhao State. Those clans and noble families do not treat us as human beings. They took away my mother and sister. My father said that only by becoming an immortal master can I save my mother and sister."
The little beggar kept kowtowing, but the three people in front of him were all "heartless".
Senior Brother Lu turned to look at Tian Lin and said, "Wang Tong must be afraid that we will lead people to ambush him, so the so-called coming to Qinghe County Government Office is just a cover."
"Shall we go to Wangjiaji now?"
After Tian Lin asked, Senior Brother Lu said, "There is no time to lose. Let's leave tonight."
At this moment, Tian Lin's heart was shrouded in a layer of haze, and he suddenly felt that even if there was a foundation-building master hiding behind him, this trip might not be foolproof.
However, it is not yet clear whether Xiao Hong can be rescued on this trip. The only thing that is relatively clear is that once you get on the boat, it will be difficult to get off again.
Tian Lin followed Senior Brother Lu on the horse, and the three of them, three horses, headed towards Wangjiaji again.
Wangjiaji is some distance away from Qinghe County. After another night of effort, the few people finally arrived at Wangjiaji.
At this time, the Wang family's valley was pitch black, filled with rocks and charcoal.
Looking at the devastated valley, Han Yue said to Senior Brother Lu, "When the sect conquered the Wang family, too many people died here, so they set a fire here before leaving."
Senior Brother Lu did not participate in the expedition against the Wang family at that time.
He looked at the collapsed houses in the valley, not caring what happened there, but just frowned and shouted:
"Wang Tong, Junior Brother Tian is here, how long are you going to hide?"
His roar instantly startled a bird from the rubble.
The bird flapped its wings, but just before it was ten feet off the ground, it was pulled back by the rope on its feet.
Seeing this, the three of them came to the rope tied around the bird's feet.
I saw that one end of the rope was tied to a flying bird, and the other end was tied to a huge rock.
When they arrived in front of the boulder, they saw the words "Xiaohe Town" written on it.
Seeing these three words, Senior Brother Lu’s face instantly turned dark.
Tian Lin took the initiative to say: "Let's go, Xiaohe Town is only a day and a night away from here, and it will be dawn when we get there."
The sun was just rising at this time, and the horses they had replaced in Qinghe County were already exhausted.
The few people only let the horses rest for a while, and then urged them to continue on their journey.
Finally, after a few hours, the horses of the three men died one after another.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Lu pulled Tian Lin's hand with his one arm and said, "I'll take you away."
He carried Tian Lin on his back and pulled Han Yue with him, and he rose into the air stepping on grass, trees and rocks.
In fact, Senior Brother Lu didn't need a galloping horse when traveling alone. He was just concerned about the low cultivation levels of Tian Lin and Han Yue.
This time he was flying with two people, and the amount of true energy he consumed increased exponentially.
By the time he arrived at Xiaohe Town after a day and a night, his face had turned as pale as paper and his legs were trembling.
"The Xiaohe Town is just ahead."
Senior Brother Lu landed on a hillside, and when he put Tian Lin down from his back, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Lin was calm and composed. He climbed to a high place and looked into the distance, then looked at a small village along the river at the foot of the hillside and slowly frowned.
"There's no one in this village. It looks like it's been massacred."
As the breeze blew, smoke rose from a house in the village.
Soon, a bearded man walked out of the house and looked in the direction of Tian Lin and others.
"It's Wang Tong."
After Han Yue finished speaking, Senior Brother Lu said, "Let's go. This guy has been waiting for us for a long time."
Tian Lin followed Senior Brother Lu and looked around.
He was not only looking for Elder Xiao who was hiding in the dark, but was also checking whether there were any ambushes around.
Unfortunately, Tian Lin did not see Elder Xiao, nor did he detect any signs of an ambush.
The three of them went down the hillside, crossed the fertile farmland, and finally entered the village.
"We in Zhao have fertile land and abundant aquatic products. The people are like crops, growing in large patches. We can never harvest them all." The bearded man was speaking in the small courtyard with curling smoke.
The bearded man was none other than Wang Tong. He was dressed like a farmer, and had neither the demeanor of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, nor the authority of an official sitting in the county government.
"Yes, the land in Zhao is fertile, and the farmers don't have to worry about starving to death. But when you, the Blood Cult, appeared, these farmers became your crops, and you harvested them in large areas, almost to the point of extinction."
Senior Brother Lu walked slowly towards the bearded man and kicked the fence open.
Facing the aggressive Senior Brother Lu, Wang Tong was not afraid at all.
He was sitting on a small stool at this time, with a bag of dry tobacco in his mouth.
He looked up at Senior Brother Lu approaching him, and did not retreat or take out his knife to guard, but instead started a serious discussion:
"Is it the Blood Cult that is using the people as crops to harvest, or is it the clan family that is using the people as crops to harvest?"
He said: "You are not a mortal, you don't know how mortals are forced to leave their homes by their clans and aristocratic families. People are despised when they leave their hometowns. If they really can't make a living, who would be willing to leave their hometowns and become a Hwahlang?"
After saying this, he pointed his pipe at Tian Lin and said, "Tian Lin, you are from Huahualang, do you think those clan families should die?"
Tian Lin was somewhat speechless, and said simply: "Wang County Lieutenant didn't call me here to discuss this, did he?"
Wang Xianwei said, "I asked you to come here to discuss this. I don't blame you for killing my parents, because great things always require sacrifice."
He said, "As long as you are willing to join my Blood Cult, I can forgive you for what happened, and we can create another prosperous era together."
"What kind of prosperous times? A prosperous time when people eat each other?"
Senior Brother Lu retorted, but County Lieutenant Wang said, "Create a peaceful and prosperous world without oppression from aristocratic families and without immortal sects monopolizing resources."
After hearing this, Tian Lin almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.
He couldn't help but say, "The Blood Cult uses people to make pills, and they cultivate immortality by eating people and cultivators. If the Blood Cult takes over the world, how can the world be peaceful?"
"That is a misunderstanding of my Blood Cult by mortals."
Wang Tongdao: "My Blood Sect never uses innocent mortals to make pills. We only use those who have committed crimes for cultivation. Look at Quzhou. Now that it is ruled by my Blood Sect, aren't the people living well?"
Tian Lin didn't believe what he said, but he couldn't help but think of what happened in Lin'an County.
When Tian Lin was investigating a case in Lin'an County, he looked at the files of the county government.
The victims recorded in the archives were all masters and all of them were from Hwahwarang.
At that time, Tian Lin thought that the reason why Lin Ping'an and other evil Taoists chose Hua Hualang to attack was because Hua Hualang was already an unknown "black household" of the court, so for safety reasons, Lin Ping'an and others only attacked Hua Hualang.
But now, after listening to what Wang Tong said, Tian Lin had another guess.
Those masters of Huahualang committed mistakes and did evil things, so they were found by Lin Pingan and forced to refine blood pills by private punishment.
There's nothing strange about this!
It was pitiful for the Huahualang to leave their hometown. They were exploited by the court and oppressed by the clan families.
But after leaving their homes, they also oppressed the law-abiding and kind-hearted people. They can be called bandits and local thugs.
"Like Lin Pingan, he is also a member of my Blood Cult. But think carefully, how have the people of Lin'an County lived since Lin Pingan took office? Among those court officials who came from clan aristocratic families, how many of them are as diligent as he is?"
Lin Ping'an has a very good reputation, and Tian Lin is well aware of this.
"Alright, County Lieutenant Wang, let's save these words for after we hand over Senior Sister Xiao."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, several originally silent rooms were disturbed by noises. Several red-robed monks walked out of the rooms, and the leading man smiled and said:
"Wang Tong, I told you that your tricks won't convince anyone. In this world, whoever has the bigger fist is right."
Han Yue and Senior Brother Lu's faces changed as they looked at the six cultivators who suddenly appeared.
Senior Brother Lu's expression was the most unsightly at this moment. He pointed his knife at the man holding the sword and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
The man looked at Senior Brother Lu and said:
"Thirteenth brother, when I first heard that you became the Yaoyue Sect's head disciple, I was very happy for you. But now I have to advise you that being the Yaoyue Sect's head disciple doesn't have much future, so it would be better for you to join my Blood Sect."
Senior Brother Lu couldn't believe it. He shook his head and asked, "When did you join the Blood Cult? Why did you join the Blood Cult?"
"Why did you join the Blood Cult? My idea is different from Wang Tong's. The reason I joined the Blood Cult is that I have been searching for more than ten years, searching the entire Zhao State and running through too many places in Yulong Continent, but I still couldn't find the Five Elements Foundation Building Pool."
He said, "I am not younger than you. I know that if I keep looking like this, I will never find a Five Elements Foundation Building Pool that can help me build my foundation even if I die. However, the known Five Elements Foundation Building Pools are in the hands of the Immortal Sects. How can they be willing to lend me a Five Elements Foundation Building Pool to build my foundation?
In order to build my foundation, I had no choice but to join the Blood Cult."
Senior Brother Lu said sternly, "Do you know how much disaster this action of yours will bring to my Lu family? The Wang family has a precedent. If your father knew that you joined the Blood Cult, how would you face his wrath?"
After hearing this, the old man next to the man laughed:
"Junior Brother Lu, your eldest brother was able to join the Blood Cult because of his uncle's introduction. It was also because of your uncle that not only did your eldest brother join the Blood Cult, but your second, third, and fourth brothers are now all members of our Blood Cult."
After hearing this, Senior Brother Lu’s face turned pale, and Han Yue’s face also changed.
She couldn't help but ask the old man, "Uncle San, has my Han family also joined the Blood Cult?"
The old man said, "For a disciple like me from my Han family who has left the sect, there is no way to build a foundation. What else can we do if we don't join the Blood Sect? Xiaoyue, listen to your uncle and join the Blood Sect."
Han Yue and Senior Brother Lu were speechless for a moment. Tian Lin glanced at them without saying anything.
He knew that if the two really dared to join the Blood Cult at this time, Elder Xiao behind them would definitely not let them go.
"Brother Lu and Sister Han, what are you still hesitating about? The Lu family is the Lu family, the Han family is the Han family, they are them, and you are you."
Senior Brother Lu came back to his senses. It was not because Tian Lin’s words convinced him, but because he finally remembered the mission of coming here.
Senior Brother Lu simply said to the big man: "Brother, where did you hide Junior Sister Xiao? Hand Junior Sister Xiao over quickly."
