Chapter 433: Live and Die Together

~8 min read 1,458 words

Did the evil monk mistake the person?

Could that be possible?

"I don't care! I only recognize Seventh Lord!" Hui Moqiong was immersed in his own thoughts, already certain, "He is our master god; I followed him and became a god in one battle; if he isn't, I will live and die with him!"

Hui Moqiong took the lead in declaring his position.

Over the past six months, Hui Moqiong and Liu Junyan have developed perfect tacit understanding; they are comrades-in-arms, even more like brothers.

Huang Fan immediately stood behind Hui Moqiong and said, "I joined the Dang Pu because Seventh Lord promised it; I was originally his person."

Bái Sōnglán frowned: "If it were that simple, it wouldn't be worth Liu Laoer making a special trip."

Hu Sanmei echoed: "I'm afraid that by the time Seventh Lord's tribulation starts, we'll be knocked down without choice."

"Then we can only wait and see." I said, "Qingying sis, tidy up the guest rooms; nobody should go anywhere today, everyone stay in the Dang Pu."

Nobody had any objections.

Actually, the one who most wants to run out right now is me.

But I also understand in my heart that Liu Junyan is currently in the Linghai Forbidden Ground, preparing to welcome the coming thousand-year calamity; if I go now, I'll only distract him.

When the Heavenly Tribulation arrives, Second Master Liu will surely seize the opportunity to act.

We can't help Liu Junyan with his tribulation, but in the rear we must guard for him.

Only if we hold the rear will he have no rear worries, allowing his ascension to proceed smoothly.

And the key to breaking this situation lies with the Five Blessings Immortals.

【17> We not only need Hui Moqiong's daring courage to gamble, but must always be ready to receive Second Master Liu's moves, and must also study in advance how he might attack and how to respond.

We not only need the courage to gamble big like Hui Moqiong, but we must also always be ready to receive Second Master Liu's moves, and we must also study in advance roughly how he will make his moves and how we should respond.

The atmosphere in the Dang Pu was solemn; Li Qingying had made food, but nobody had the appetite to eat. They were thinking and discussing, while I stared at the hand-drawn sketch spread on the table, my thoughts in turmoil.

Rain kept falling, and distant thunder rumbled on the horizon.

Not long after noon, the muffled thunder suddenly grew louder, as if it had come much closer.

I don't know whether the Little Guy in my belly was frightened or sensed something; usually well-behaved, he suddenly became restless, and I felt him rolling and bubbling inside my belly like gurgling bubbles.

He made me feel awful all over, as if my stomach were being pushed up, and I constantly wanted to vomit.

Even Bái Sōnglán couldn't do anything about this situation.

In the end, Xuan Mao lazily lay on my belly and meowed a few times toward the inside.

Strangely, the Little Guy seemed to understand what Xuan Mao was saying, and finally calmed down.

I leaned on the sofa, and Xuan Mao stayed by my side, not sleeping but constantly on guard against something.

At this moment I suddenly realized that the Little Guy had indeed sensed something, and Xuan Mao should be reassuring him, standing guard for him.

The change occurred at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.

First, Huang Fan suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of blood and fainted.

But soon he crawled up from the ground.

Under everyone's watch, he walked into the main courtyard and fell to his knees with a thud.

He remained kneeling upright in the rain, at the western point of the main courtyard.

Huang Fan's bizarre behavior left all of us dumbfounded.

Hui Moqiong grabbed Huang Fan's shoulders, shaking and shouting at him, even kicking him in frustration, but throughout, Huang Fan seemed unconscious, devoutly keeping his head lowered as he knelt there.

After another hour like that, Bái Sōnglán suddenly began vomiting blood again.

All of Bái Sōnglán's symptoms were exactly the same as Huang Fan's earlier.

In the end, Bái Sōnglán knelt at the eastern point of the main courtyard.

At this moment we all understood: "The other side has begun setting up the formation."

"Holy shit, I've seen a ghost!" Hui Moqiong exclaimed indignantly, "If I had known we'd face something this disgusting today, even if a knife were at my throat back then, I wouldn't have chosen to become blood brothers."

Too bad there are no 'ifs' in this world.

Time cannot be turned back; having made the choice and reaped the bitter fruit, we can only try to resolve it now.

Huang Fan was the youngest and had the lowest cultivation among the four, so he was the first to be affected.

Now two of the four have knelt, and Hui Moqiong began to feel uneasy.

Next up is him.

After all, Hu Sanmei's cultivation is surely higher.

Hu Sanmei furrowed her brow, wondering what she was thinking.

As time ticked by second by second, Hui Moqiong's whole body grew tense.

Being unable to control it, not even knowing how the other side is manipulating it, one after another has suffered; for Hui Moqiong, this feels like death by a thousand cuts.

But when the next hour arrived, Hui Moqiong, like the other two, lowered his head and knelt at the southern point of the main courtyard.

I can be certain this is not something Second Master Liu could do.

Someone behind him is manipulating all this; that person must be versed in sorcery or witchcraft and should also hold the blood that was pooled together when they swore blood brotherhood back then.

Besides Di Luan, the only person I can think of who could do this is Feng Xianqiu.

Hu Sanmei also began vomiting blood.

Although she has been persecuted all these years, she is now in decent shape and hasn't vomited much blood.

I stood not far away, watching her wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, watching her nod at me.

In the end, Hu Sanmei also knelt in the main courtyard, at the northern point.

The Four Blessings Immortals have taken their places; next is to activate the formation.

At that moment, Xuan Mao suddenly let out a sharp meow, arched its whole body without a run-up, and in the next instant leapt onto the roof.

It stood on the ridge of the Dang Pu's main house, crying out continuously at the sky, a sound unprecedentedly fierce!

Soon I saw what Xuan Mao was hissing at.

A flock of azure hawks gathered from all directions, and before they even neared the roof, they had already assumed a diving posture.

At the sight of those azure hawks, I felt as if the blood in my entire body were flowing backward, and I couldn't stop shivering all over.

This is actually a sacrifice!

Using the flesh-and-blood bodies of the Four Blessings Immortals as a sacrifice to the Supreme God, such a vicious and treacherous move indicates they intend to sacrifice the minor to save the important?

My stomach churned, and I retched dryly a few times while clutching my chest.

Such a scene makes it hard not to recall when we were on Mount Song, going back and forth, seeing the Empty Silence Abbott use the fleshly bodies of many eminent monks to sacrifice azure hawks.

But these four right before my eyes are still alive!

Just a second ago they were still talking to me, and the next second they could very well be torn apart and devoured by these azure hawks… No wonder Little Guy reacted so strongly, and no wonder the Mystic Cat was so on guard.

As I watched over a dozen azure hawks swooping down, the Mystic Cat let out a meow, leapt into the air, and in the next instant had already seized one of the hawks' wings in its mouth.

The flock of azure hawks suddenly scattered in all directions.

If I'm not mistaken, they came from all directions, each occupying a position with significance; they are positioned within a Formation Array, and if any one of them is injured or killed, the whole array becomes defective and cannot achieve its intended effect.

I couldn't help but give the Mystic Cat a thumbs-up.

But the next moment, a horrifying and bloody scene appeared… After retreating a short distance, the flock of azure hawks suddenly surged toward a single point.

This time they weren't aiming for the main courtyard of Dang Pu, but were charging toward that injured azure hawk…
