Taking advantage of the intoxication, the heat in Luan Jingfu’s lower abdon surged even stronger, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his face as he said, "Let’s make it today, shall we? Let them help us vent our frustration..."
Wei Yutian also noticed the pent-up anger in Luan Jingfu and he himself hadn’t practiced for so ti, so he nodded and said, "Today works too."
Wei Yutian then shook a bell in his hand, and a graceful woman dressed in snow-white clothing erged from behind the rockery.
The newcor was Bai Ai.
Su Di had a kind of voluptuous allure, while Bai Ai exuded a cold and lean elegance.
Wei Yutian glanced at Bai Ai and said, "Prepare the ritual; tonight we offer to the Five Gods!"
Bai Ai’s eyes flickered, she glanced at Luan Jingfu in the pavilion, then crouched and softly replied, "Yes."
Bai Ai stood up and turned around to leave the courtyard.
Before long, she called upon Su Di and Pei Qing, and the three of them gathered a large number of wolf smoke sticks, incense, and various ritual tools. At the very end, Pei Qing held a lantern in her hand.
The three of them entered an inconspicuous, remote side room to the east. This annex was quite low and even sowhat dilapidated, looking more like a storeroom.
They entered and moved aside the dusty cabinet and clutter piled in the corner of the wall. Bai Ai crouched at the corner and pressed hard on a green brick, causing the floor to suddenly tilt upward. Su Di imdiately bent down to lift the upturned floor, and the lantern light from Pei Qing shone into the opening, revealing a descending stone staircase within.
Clearly, there was a secret chamber here.
Bai Ai dusted off her hands.
Su Di turned, took the lantern from Pei Qing’s hand, and with its dim light, descended the steps into the dark secret chamber.
Bai Ai and Pei Qing followed closely behind Su Di, entering as well.
Upon descending the stone steps, they reached a space where Su Di used the fla of the lantern in her hand to light the candles on the stone walls.
The candles were as thick as an arm, instantly illuminating the secret chamber as bright as daylight.
This secret chamber wasn’t particularly large, and it was completely empty, without a single object.
Bai Ai, while Su Di lit the candles on the stone walls, walked slowly to a stone wall and pressed her slender hand on a particular spot.
Amidst a trembling noise, the stone wall before her opened inward like a fan-shaped stone gate, revealing another mysterious area behind it.
This stone gate was quite discreet, and the builder of this secret chamber was evidently well-versed in the art of intricate chanisms.
Having lit four candles, Su Di saw Bai Ai had already opened the stone gate on the other side. She placed her tools into Pei Qing’s arms and said, "You two start setting up, I’ll go fetch the offerings!"
Bai Ai glanced to the side, seemingly unopposed to Su Di’s words, and took a candle off the wall, then walked into the pitch-black secret chamber. Pei Qing, holding a large bundle of wolf smoke sticks, incense, and tools, followed closely behind Bai Ai.
Only when she saw the two enter that chamber did Su Di slowly approach the stone wall on the opposite side. Her look changed subtly and her fair, luscious hands pressed down on two different spots on the stone wall.
Another tremor followed, and yet another stone gate opened inward. Su Di took a candle from the adjacent stone wall and entered.
The layout of this secret chamber was entirely different from the outer space, which was square; whereas this secret chamber was narrow and deep.
Holding the candle, Su Di ventured into the dark depths...
On both sides of the secret chamber were many tall iron cages placed against the walls. These iron cages were about half a man high, with black iron bars gleaming with a sinister light.
Su Di walked ahead with the candle, straight to the innermost iron cage, where she suddenly paused...
As she approached, a rustling sound of movent ca from within the iron cage.
The candlelight in Su Di’s hand illuminated the tall iron cage in the corner, revealing two won inside, with youthful and delicate figures. However, they were dressed in coarse clothing, and their hair was sowhat yellowish...
These were the offerings Su Di ntioned earlier, and the "goods" Luan Jingfu referred to, surprisingly two young girls — or rather, virgins.
Only the blood from a virgin after deflowering was useful for cultivating the Filthy Blood Technique.
Su Di approached the large iron cage, accidentally kicking an empty bowl, which clattered loudly on the ground.
Su Di’s gaze hardened, fully aware that this was from their al earlier, and the bowl hadn’t been removed in ti.
It seed Pei Qing had been slacking today. It hadn’t occurred to her that the offering to the Five Gods would start suddenly today, so she planned to retrieve the bowl when delivering a al the next day.
Su Di pulled out a key from her waist, inserted it into the large lock hanging on the iron cage, and with a click, removed the large lock, opened the cage door, and coldly commanded, "Co out!"
Those two young girls, faces full of fear, clung shiveringly to the corner of the large iron cage, their voices trembling as they pleaded, "Sister, please let us go... We will rember your great kindness for a lifeti..."
Su Di sneered, "Letting you go would send to Hell."
"Sister! We beg you..."
"Stop the nonsense!" Su Di coldly retorted, "Will you co out on your own? Or do I have to drag you out?"
Having witnessed this scene nurous tis, Su Di had long beco cold-hearted.
Seeing them still cowering in the corner, Su Di bent down and squeezed inside. Although these two girls were from farming backgrounds, they had so strength, and as soon as Su Di entered, they fought ferociously, trying to attack her.
One reached out to grab Su Di’s hair, but with her palm infused with Inner Breath, a gentle pull exerted an unfathomable force, yanking them out of the iron cage.
The two farm girls stumbled, half-kneeling on the ground. Just as they were about to get up, Su Di struck them both on the back of the head with a Palm Blade, making them imdiately faint.
Su Di then hoisted them up and sighed, "You’ve co this far, you stand no chance of survival! Bla your fate, not anyone else."
With that, she carried them out, turning towards the area where Bai Ai and Pei Qing were.
Upon entering that chamber, Su Di glanced at Pei Qing, who instantly realized Su Di was blaming her for not clearing the bowls in ti. Pei Qing averted her eyes from Su Di, lowering her head.
Among the three of them, Su Di and Bai Ai had entered the estate around the sa ti, and both were more mature. Pei Qing had joined later, so she was often just helping out with Su Di and Bai Ai.
Su Di and Bai Ai were actually quite considerate towards her, scolding her only when she was lazy.
Seeing that Pei Qing understood her aning and was lowering her head while arranging the incense, Su Di refrained from saying more. She placed the two farm girls in the corner by the wall, and together with Bai Ai and Pei Qing, began setting up the ritual...
This secret chamber was surprisingly spacious, much higher than outside, at least three tis higher, with a bizarre and eerie layout.
In the center was a raised, bare platform.
Surrounding the platform were iron basins on four stone fras, filled with dry wood soaked in oil, flas blazing fiercely...
Even more terrifying, in front of each stone wall surrounding the secret chamber stood a stone-carved Divine Statue.
The statues were over two fathoms tall, with their heads nearly touching the topmost rocky ceiling of the chamber...
And the craftsn’s skill was evident, as the stone statues were intricately carved, with visible strands of hair and beards, and lifelike expressions and postures.
