Chapter 258

Ye Baiyi watched, filled with indignation, and was about to step forward when he was pulled back by Meng Su. Meng Su pretended to be afraid, trembling as he said to the woman, "Fairy, where are you all going?"

"Is this something you lowly people should ask? Keep moving, you'll know when we get there," the man with dark circles on the side shouted.

Meng Su glanced at the man and smiled slightly.

The man suddenly felt a wave of fear for no reason. He waved the whip in his hand and lashed Meng Su across the face.

Meng Su frowned, withdrew his protective Demon power, and a bloodstain was whipped onto his face. He hurriedly pulled Yaya's hand and walked into the middle of the villagers.

"Why didn't you kill these two idiots? I want to eat them," Yaya pouted and transmitted her voice to Meng Su.

"Don't be impatient, I want to see why they are capturing these villagers. Figuring out the power distribution of the Asura Realm is the priority," Meng Su replied.

"Fine," Yaya answered aggrievedly, turning her little head to glare fiercely at the man with dark circles.

It just so happened that the man with dark circles was also sizing Yaya up. Although Yaya wasn't that delicate, she was cute and very lovable. The man in black saw the hatred in Yaya's eyes and was furious.

"You little bastard, daring to glare at your grandfather? I'll send you to see the King of Hell right now."

In the eyes of these two, these people weren't even considered human.

The man with dark circles raised his whip and lashed toward Yaya. This time he used Demon power, and the whip twisted like a venomous snake, lashing toward Yaya.

Meng Su shielded Yaya behind him. The whip landed on Meng Su's back, tearing his cotton-padded jacket, and then lashed onto Meng Su's body. Meng Su was whipped until he rolled twice on the ground.

Yaya put on her acting skills, crying as she walked to Meng Su's side, shouting, "Dad, you can't die. If you die, what will Yaya do?"

This brat, she didn't want to see Meng Su well for a single day. Meng Su turned with difficulty, took Yaya into his arms, and the father and daughter cried in each other's arms.

The man with dark circles felt satisfied and rode his horse to the front, whipping the villagers on the road as he went.

The woman on her period grabbed Ye Baiyi, whipped her horse, and rode away.

Meng Su looked into the distance; there were about a hundred cultivators on horseback participating in the escort. There were four or five thousand villagers being escorted, but no one resisted, as if they were numb, or perhaps they knew that resistance was useless and would only increase casualties.

Meng Su walked to the side of the mother who had been whipped, made a face at the child, and made the child laugh.

The mother saw that Meng Su also had a child with him and sighed, "Sir, where are you from? Why didn't you run when you encountered the Shepherd Demon Sect rounding up people? It's hard on the child. Sigh."

"Shepherd Demon Sect? What is that?" Meng Su asked, confused.

"Sir, are you not a local? The Shepherd Demon Sect is very powerful; it's a sect that specializes in shepherding gods for the Blood Demon Sect. They need divine blood. Every year they drive us to the Shepherd Demon Sect to have our blood drawn. I'm afraid I won't be coming back. Poor child," the child's mother said sorrowfully.

Her eyes looked into the distance, lifeless, without sorrow or joy, her face full of sadness.

"Child's father, I may be going down to accompany you. I shouldn't have lived alone in the first place, but considering the child in my womb, I endured humiliation to survive. But now, I'm afraid the child won't be saved either," the woman said, sobbing faintly.

With no hope in her heart, a person will quickly weaken. Coupled with the long journey and not eating, the woman finally couldn't hold on. With a wave of dizziness, she was about to fall.

Meng Su hurriedly caught the woman. The child in the woman's arms felt the mother's weakness and began to cry again.

Meng Su took out a Gathering Spirit Pill and stuffed it into the woman's mouth. The woman woke up faintly. The massive amount of spiritual energy in the Gathering Spirit Pill directly healed all the woman's hidden injuries and weakness. The whip scars on the woman's face healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The woman's sallow little face suddenly became rosy.

The woman felt her own changes, suddenly left Meng Su's arm, and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Meng Su incessantly: "Immortal, Sir is an Immortal. Please, Immortal, save our mother and child."

Meng Su smiled and said, "Don't make a sound, you'll be fine. Young lady, please get up. Can you tell me what exactly is going on?"

The woman stood up and looked at Meng Su. She felt that Meng Su was just a farmer, much like them, perhaps having obtained a Gathering Spirit Pill from somewhere and just happened to give it to her. She didn't know what Meng Su had fed her, but she knew it definitely wasn't an ordinary pill; it was an Immortal Pill.

Looking at Meng Su again, he had no aura at all. The woman shook her head and said, "Please forgive this young woman for being reckless; it's just that I find the child pitiful. Sir has an immortal fate and can escape. When night falls, Sir, take your daughter and run."

Meng Su smiled and said, "Young lady, don't worry. I have my own judgment. Can you tell me what is going on?"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "This is the territory of the Shepherd Demon Sect. We are blood mothers raised by the Shepherd Demon Sect. Every two months, the Shepherd Demon Sect drives us to the sect to draw our blood, saying it's to refine Divine Pills. Many people are drawn to death. Back then, my husband, in order to replace me, had a double portion of blood drawn and died directly on the blood-drawing platform without waking up. Everything was because I was already pregnant. Watching my husband die before my eyes, I was heartbroken and almost killed myself by hitting my head, but I was stopped by the elders in the village. For the sake of the child, I survived. But what is the meaning of living like this? I see no hope. Even if the child grows up, they will still be a blood mother. This is our fate."

Meng Su's hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist, and he smiled: "Your child will not become a blood mother. He will become a real person, a useful person."

The woman shook her head and said nothing.

Meng Su took out various foods from his storage ring and distributed them to the villagers around him. The villagers ate silently, not asking where Meng Su got the things. The whole team was filled with despair.

Two days later, they reached their destination. The Shepherd Demon Sect was built in a canyon. The entire canyon covered tens of thousands of acres, with various buildings, and on the mountains were various levels of cave abodes; these cave abodes were places for the elites of the Shepherd Demon Sect to practice. Outside the Shepherd Demon Sect, there were hundreds of buildings. These were places where handymen and outer sect disciples lived. Only inner sect disciples were qualified to live in the northern part of the sect, and only personal disciples had their own cave abodes.

Just on this day, an envoy came to the Blood Demon Sect. This was a Demon cultivator at the peak of the Demon Saint stage. This person wore a bamboo hat and a black cast-iron mask on his face, with an extraordinary aura.

Following the personal disciple were two followers, who nodded and bowed along the way, carefully serving this personal disciple.

The Shepherd Demon Sect was an affiliated sect of the Blood Demon Sect. Regarding the arrival of the Blood Demon Sect envoy, the Shepherd Demon Sect dared not be negligent. The Sect Master was in seclusion, and the Sect Master's eldest personal disciple was responsible for the reception.

The eldest personal disciple was named Zong Liang. Zong Liang said mysteriously to the Blood Demon Sect envoy, "This time we unintentionally found a Demon cultivator; perhaps we can refine a blood puppet. It's just that after the refining is finished, the other party will lose their life."

The envoy shouted, "As long as it can be refined into a blood puppet, why do you care if they live or die? Do I need to teach you this too?"

Zong Liang bowed and accompanied him with a smile, "My Lord is right. I will order the people below to start refining. Tonight, I will pick a few women with better looks from the blood mothers and send them to you, My Lord, so you can have a good time."

The envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go pick them myself."

"That's fine too. I will take you there now, My Lord."
