Chapter 971 Chukeng
"Excuse me, where did you go after you disappeared?" the person on the other side asked curiously.
"It's just a trip to a secret place for some training." Mo Lian replied.
After all, the matter of imprisonment in the abyss is not suitable for outsiders to know.
"It turns out that the Mo family built this house at the entrance to the secret realm. I guess the secret realm suddenly opened and teleported you away directly." The person on the opposite side sighed.
"Let's go." After saying this, the head of the Chu family led the way.
Everyone followed him out of the forest.
Now that they were out of the confinement abyss, Yan Li released Mo Yun from the space.
Mo Yun, who was moved out of the space, was still sleeping soundly.
"Where is this?" As they walked, they unexpectedly came to a big pit.
"Dad, why are we here in Chukeng?" Chu Ji's eyes were pale.
"Chukeng?" Yan Li's face was full of confusion.
"Chukeng is the resting place of our Chu family's ancestors." The head of the Chu family explained.
"Rest place? A pit? Are you sure they can rest in peace?" Yan Li couldn't help but complain.
Patriarch Chu: ...
This has been passed down from generation to generation. What can the head of this family do?
"Why are we here?" Mrs. Chu said in a trembling voice.
"Is there something different here?" Yan Li looked at the head of the Chu family.
"Chukeng has been hidden all this time. It appears once a year for us to worship. We have already worshipped it this year, so it shouldn't appear again." The head of the Chu family said.
Everyone:...
It seems that there are unusual movements in Chukeng.
“The Chu family has always had a saying: When the Chu pit appears again, thousands of souls will come out. When the Chu family offers sacrifice, all living things will die.” An elder of the Chu family said.
“So horrible?” Everyone’s faces turned pale again when they heard this.
The joy of escaping from the abyss of confinement disappeared in an instant.
Isn't this equivalent to leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den?
"This looks like an ordinary big pit." Maureen muttered as she looked at Chukeng.
"This is only on the surface." After saying this, the head of the Chu family began to make seals with his hands.
When he finished the seal, the entire Chukeng had changed its appearance.
At this time, Chukeng was no longer overgrown with weeds, but a very strange pit with layers upon layers.
The layers of large pits extend downwards.
"Master, why don't we try to leave? After all, if the rumor is true, our Chu family will not be able to escape. There is no need to implicate others." The elder sighed.
"No, there is another sentence behind it. All things will die, and humans are also one of the creatures in the world." The head of the Chu family said.
"We must stop the Chu family from offering sacrifice." Yan Li said.
At this moment, movement began to appear in the layers of pits.
Upon seeing this, Yan Li quickly took out a protective formation and sealed off the entire Chukeng!
Although the Chu Pit was sealed, everyone still saw countless souls floating in the Chu Pit, roaring...
Yan Li saw that there were many children in the crowd, so she simply put them all into the ring space.
After all, in this kind of situation, these children can only become a burden.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the children were protected.
"Master Chu, doesn't your Chu family have any record of the solution to the Chu Pit?" Yan Li looked at Master Chu.
"No." Patriarch Chu shook his head.
At this moment, several figures flew over.
"Ancestors, you are here?" The head of the Chu family's eyes lit up when he saw them.
"Why are you here?" The ancestors of the Chu family were stunned when they saw so many people.
"This is a long story. Old Ancestor, are the rumors about Chu Keng true?" The head of the Chu family looked at Chu Keng.
"That's right. I didn't expect that the sacrifices of so many ancestors of our Chu family could not suppress Chukeng after all." The ancestor of the Chu family sighed.
"Ancestor, what does this mean?" The head of the Chu family was confused.
"At this point there is nothing to hide. Do you really think that this Chukeng is the resting place of our Chu family ancestors?" The old ancestor of the Chu family sighed after saying this.
"Isn't it?" Patriarch Chu was shocked when he heard this.
"Of course not. It was our ancestors who sacrificed their soul power to suppress the countless resentful souls in the Chu Pit. This is the mission of our Chu family." The ancestor of the Chu family said.
Yan Li was startled when she heard this!
Do these hidden families all have their own missions?
The Mo family is the Imprisoned Abyss, the Chu family is the Chu Pit, so what about other families?
"So that's how it is, ancestor. Now that Chukeng Er has appeared, what should we do?" The head of the Chu family looked at his ancestor.
“We need nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine souls of eight-year-old children of the Chu family’s bloodline. Crush them into pieces and add them to the souls of our ancestors. It should be able to last for more than ten thousand years.” The Chu family’s ancestor said.
"What? The souls of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine eight-year-old children of the Chu family bloodline? How can our Chu family have so many children? Besides, even if there were, how could we bear to do that?" The head of the Chu family trembled all over when he heard this.
"Over the years, we have collected a total of 9,998 of them. Chu Yan, you have to make some sacrifices." The ancestor of the Chu family looked at the head of the Chu family.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Chu family turned pale!
He understood what his ancestor meant. Chu Ji was exactly eight years old this year!
The ancestor wanted him to offer Chu Ji.
But that’s my own child, how can I bear to give him up?
"Ancestor..."
"Chu Yan, in the face of justice, everything can be sacrificed. This is the price our Chu family must pay for enjoying the glory of a hidden family. Besides, you are the head of the family."
The head of the Chu family was about to say something when he was interrupted by his ancestor.
"Miss Yan, please let Chu Ji out." The head of the Chu family finally compromised.
He knew that if he didn't compromise, no one in the Chu family would survive, and no one present would survive either.
“No, no, Master, my stepson is still young, he is still young…” Mrs. Chu collapsed instantly after hearing this.
Yan Li was very frightened when she saw this!
I have to say, this is really cruel!
The souls of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine eight-year-old children.
And we have to crush their souls!
Yan Li sighed, she really couldn't bear it.
So she simply took out the talisman pen and drew a purification talisman with her own blood.
She wanted to purify all the resentful souls in the Chukeng.
But this will cost her a lot of blood!
Yan Li grabbed a handful of blood-replenishing pills and swallowed them.
After she finished drawing the purification spell, she activated it to cover the entire Chukeng.
After doing all this, Yan Li's face turned pale.
She grabbed another handful of blood-replenishing pills and swallowed them, and her face regained its rosy color.
"Miss Yan, what is this?" Patriarch Chu looked at Yan Li.
"Purification." Yan Li said.
Hearing this, everyone looked towards Chukeng quietly.
The faces of those souls running around everywhere gradually calmed down under the effect of the purification spell.
Finally, black gas began to emerge from all the souls.
When the black air completely dissipated, the souls in the Chu pit calmed down.
Even the souls of the ancestors of the Chu family were very peaceful.
Seeing this, Yan Li took back the talisman array that covered them.
