Chapter 82

After listening to the explanation of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, Lin Yang suddenly understood many things.

No wonder the Grand Priest took Li Yilan and her parents' remains; it must be because Li Yilan and her parents' bloodline is closest to that of the Hundred Flowers Fairy.

Consequently, the Grand Priest selected them, using the bones of the three as a foundation to preliminarily activate the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform, then begin his blood sacrifice plan.

But!

Li Yatou is his disciple; whoever dares to use his disciple for a blood sacrifice, he will split that person's heavenly spirit cover.

Instead.

Lin Yang looked at the Hundred Flowers Fairy and said, "Fairy, since you know so much about the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform, do you have a way to counter the blood sacrifice plan?"

Regarding blood sacrifice, he has only heard of it and actually knows little about it.

Therefore, he sought the best strategy from the Hundred Flowers Fairy, asking if there is a benign way to counter the blood sacrifice.

Of course, if not.

Then only the worst strategy remains: a direct forceful attack.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy shook her head.

"Difficult!"

"Once the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice begins, it cannot be opposed; even if we have enough strength, we cannot stop it at all."

The horror of this blood sacrifice platform, she witnessed it a hundred years ago; aside from the immortals and gods, it is irreversible.

Moreover, her master, the Grand Priest, has secretly prepared for a hundred years; given his caution, once the blood sacrifice begins, it absolutely means he has made ample preparations, and today's Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform is already impregnable.

If they had returned a day earlier, there might still have been a chance to stop it with brute force, but now everything is too late.

It is utterly irresistible.

"The Fairy's single word 'difficult' shows this matter isn't truly as she says—surely it cannot be opposed?"

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes: "Fairy, as you said, if the Grand Priest's blood sacrifice truly succeeds, then the more than ten thousand people inside will die directly."

"Once the Grand Priest breaks through to the Great Emperor Realm, everything here will be destroyed, including you and me."

"These people are related to you by blood; I believe you, Fairy, would not just let them be killed like this."

The Hundred Flowers Fairy fell silent.

For a moment, she did not know how to answer Lin Yang.

And Lin Yang could roughly guess what the Hundred Flowers Fairy was thinking; she actually did not love these people that much.

Furthermore, saving them would come at a heavy price, so heavy that she would rather abandon her descendants without regard.

Like Xiao Shanhai, from now on she and the Baihua Valley people will go their separate ways, the blood ties snapping amid helplessness and despair.

Lin Yang couldn't do that; he has always been the sort who shields his offspring.

Now his own disciple is about to be taken away for a blood sacrifice.

He will naturally, without hesitation, think of a way to save Li Yatou.

Because Li Yatou trusts him, has taken him as her teacher, and treats him well, he naturally won't ignore her.

Moreover.

Li Yatou at this moment might perhaps be waiting for him to come rescue her?

Moreover, speaking on a larger scale, with over ten thousand lives about to be sacrificed in blood, he naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

That is him.

In minor matters, whoever offends him, he will make them wear small shoes to the end; but when confronted with major principles, ten thousand lives being used as blood‑sacrifice material merely to break through to the Great Emperor realm, he will not turn a blind eye.

"Fairy!"

"Even if you have myriad reasons and difficulties in your heart, you should still be able to tell what's important, right?"

Lin Yang said in a deep voice.

The Baihua Fairy's body trembled; Lin Yang's shout brought her conscience back.

That's right.

This matter indeed has a way to be resolved.

But the price will be very heavy.

Even.

She will die miserably here.

Moreover, she has another thought in her heart.

Although these people are her juniors, she was originally forced by the Grand Priest to have relations with their ancestors, and was compelled to bear their forebears.

The scene of her being raped back then remains vivid in her memory.

Although she cares about these juniors, and even considered solving the Grand Priest's blood‑sacrifice crisis for them.

But when she left the Baihua Secret Realm and went outside, learning that the blood sacrifice had begun, everything was already too late; even to save them she would have to sacrifice her own life.

She hesitated.

She discovered that she truly did not love these people that much.

Nor did she have the resolve to die for them.

But a single remark from Lin Yang suddenly let her awaken again.

Yes.

These matters have troubled her for hundreds of years.

But what could change?

Those events from back then still wash over her memory year after year; each time they pass, they bring her painful recollections.

But why can't she let go?

Only those ancestors are hateful; these descendants, however, have always looked up to her as their glory and as their ancestor.

They are innocent.

They are not pigs.

Born, not for the blood sacrifice of the Grand Priest.

They should live with their own way of life.

And she.

As their ancestor, one ought to step forward and resolve the immediate crisis for them.

She laughed loudly, looking at Lin Yang and slowly said: "Young master, just now I let you see a joke."

Lin Yang shook his head and said: "The immortal maiden's smile, letting go of grudges, is what makes the junior generation sincerely admire."

"The young master spoke and laughed."

Baihuaxianzi said: "Young master, at your age, to have such a sense of right and wrong is what I should learn."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Baihuaxianzi again said.

"Since things have come to this, I will no longer hide anything."

"There is indeed a way to break the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform."

Lin Yang said: "I listen respectfully."

Baihuaxianzi nodded and said: "To break the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform, there are two methods that can be used."

"The first method is that the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform requires three corpses with the closest blood relation to me as its foundation; if among these three corpses at least one has no blood relation to me, then this blood sacrifice will suffer a backlash."

Lin Yang said: "This possibility almost never happens."

After all, the Grand Priest used the corpses of Li Yilan and her parents; the blood relation among the three needs no further explanation, right?

Baihuaxianzi nodded: "Of course, if we can break in and replace them?"

"However, this method would be extremely difficult; the Grand Priest surely has precautions in place, and with the crafty rabbit having three burrows, getting to the core of the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform is no easy task."

Lin Yang said: "I can try this."

Baihuaxianzi shook her head: "Not suitable, too risky."

"Immortal maiden, I have always liked risky endeavors; let me handle this." Lin Yang said.

"No rush."

Baihuaxianzi said: "I still have another method here."

"Please tell me the details." Lin Yang looked at Baihuaxianzi.

Baihuaxianzi took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and said: "This second method is to overcome force with force."

"I will merge into the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform, then use the myriad qi within my body to oppose the Grand Priest's power; if I win, the Blood Soul Blood Sacrifice Platform can be broken."

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes and asked: "If I am not mistaken, your chance of defeating the Grand Priest with this method is less than thirty percent?"

"Not that low." Baihuaxianzi smiled and said: "If I fight desperately, I have a three-point-five chance of winning."
