Qin Yi stealthily entered the house upon confirming that the two red-robed men left Mu Fengsha\'s residence area.

In a narrow room with only torches for lighting, he saw Mu Fengsha sitting on a chair, lowering his head in hopelessness.

Qin Yi honestly didn\'t know how to feel about this person. From what he understood from their conversation just now, he could roughly understand his situation and the fate of this village—— No, the fate of this entire mountain.

In short, the entire mountain is finished.                                                       

The villages in this mountain struggle to survive the attacks of the Wild Beasts. They are even willing to sacrifice the seeds from the village for it.

However, it seems that their struggle will only end here because tomorrow will be their last day on this mountain.

However, there were some things that he was still confused about, and he could only hear the answer from this person.

He walked over Mu Fengsha and quietly activated Bloody Wood Extension.

Mu Fengsha, who was still fell into deep thought, suddenly sensed danger from behind him. However, before he could react, several branches had already tightly bound his entire body and prevented him from making any movement.

"What\'s this?

He panicked and instantly tried to struggle, but it was useless because he was unable to budge even an inch under this restriction.

"It\'s useless, just accept your current situation, Mu Fengsha."

Qin Yi said out of nowhere, however, Mu Fengsha could only hear his voice without being able to see his figure.

However, although Mu Fengsha couldn\'t see the intruder, he could sense that the person was right in front of him because of the voice.

Without him even knowing, Qin Yi had soundlessly walked in front of him after restricting him from behind him.

Mu Fengasha tried to calm himself down and said in a slightly fearful tone.

"What do you want to want?"

Qin Yi stepped forward and bowed slightly as he said reassuringly.

"Don\'t worry, these braces won\'t hurt you, that is if you stay still. My goal here is to only ask you a few questions."

Mu Fengsha could feel his strength getting weaker the more he resisted. Therefore, he could only give up.

"What do you want to know?"

"It\'s like this; I just accidentally overheard your conversation…"

Accidentally? Mu Fengsha scoffed silently.

"You know, you and everyone on this mountain are very stubborn. No matter how far I investigated, I could hardly make sense of it. Therefore, I can only resort to this way."

Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders.

Mu Fengsha was silent for a while before he replied, "When everything has reached this point, it doesn\'t matter anymore for me. I assumed you wanted to ask something related to ritual right?"

"Hmm," Qin Yi nodded while pinching his chin as he said in appreciation, "I like people who are easy to understand."

"Are you Wu Kun\'s partner?"

"I can\'t say that we are partners, but we have the same goal."

"I see... about the ritual... that\'s a long story."

"We have a lot of time to talk~."

"... This all happened a hundred years ago when our village and the others were just ordinary villages still struggling against the Wild Beasts. Although we could somehow fend them off, in fact, we lost many lives in the process."

"However, one day the man in the red robe arrived at this mountain and offered us a technique to tame Magical Beasts, and as you have seen, those tamed Magical Beasts became the Spiritual Gods of every village on this mountain."

"However, the biggest drawback of this technique is the sacrifice of the lives of pure and innocent children. At first, the villagers didn\'t agree to this, but over time, the Wild Beasts that invaded the village increased to the point that they became unstoppable."

"In the end, we had no other choice but to use that technique. And then, we realized that we had been tricked..."

Mu Fengsha paused for a second when Qin Yi suddenly interrupted him.

"So, all the sacrifices mentioned by that technique were all lies?"

"That\'s right. It turns out that the children we have sacrificed become blood sacrifices for the group of red-robed people. And eventually we learned that these people are disciples of the Blood Crimson Sect."

"If you realize that you\'ve been tricked, why don\'t you stop performing the blood ritual?"

Mu Fengsha smiled wryly, "What can a mortal do to those evil Immortals? There was one occasion when three villages in this mountain tried to revolt, but they were annihilated overnight. Their annihilation clearly frightened the other villages and kept us from doing nothing but complying with their wishes."

Qin Yi interrupted him once again and asked, "I heard that you are also one of the children who were sacrificed five years ago. How are you still alive and kicking?"

"...Five years ago, there were three children who were meant to be sacrificed, they were me, Brother Yan, and the last person was Mu Chen\'s uncle. However, among the three children, only Brother Yan and I had the martial aptitude. Rather than being a sacrifice, the Blood Crimson Sect decided to have us as one of them. As for Mu Chen\'s uncle... you should have guessed it..."

Listening to this, Qin Yi fell into deep thoughts.

According to what Mu Fengsha just explained, only Mu Tao will survive tomorrow, while Mu Chen and Mu Ruan will die in the blood ritual.

Although they related nothing to him, they have, after all, played with him for half a month. It would be a lie to say if he had no affection for them.

However, even if he wanted to save them, he needed to prioritize his mission first.

His mission was simply to investigate the secret behind this mountain. Once he managed to complete it, his mission was complete, and saving them was beyond his responsibility.

Qin Yi looked at Mu Fengsha and asked, "Have you guys ever tried to escape from this mountain?"

"Of course, people did, but they disappeared without a trace. Either they end up prospering somewhere else or they died..."

"If they run to the nearest town, then they will be caught by the Blood Crimson Sect disciples stationed there. However, if they run further, they will most likely die as well."

"Unlike us, cultivators, who can travel around the world; mortals have difficulty moving places because they can\'t handle the beasts that are roaming out there."

Qin Yi couldn\'t agree more with this. Even when he was traveling from his hometown to Ancient Dragon City, he often saw and was attacked by wild beasts. In order to reach his destination safely, he had to hire some mercenaries to protect and escort him safely until he reached his destination.

Even though most beasts lived in the mountains or forests, some low-rank beasts only live driven by their beastly instinct and occasionally roamed in areas that humans frequently used as transportation routes.

Though, they were usually just Wild Beasts. However, unless you are an experienced mortal, you had no way to deal with them. Else, you could only become their food.

In the end, the people of this mountain could not help but confine themselves to this small and unknown mountain.

Some of them were born and raised only to serve as livestock for the disciples of the Blood Crimson Sect. Worse still, they faced the threat of destruction if they did anything outside the sect\'s orders.

Thinking about their unfortunate fate, Qin Yi couldn\'t help but open his mouth.

"Even though the two of you couldn\'t save all the villagers, you could at least save a few, especially your own child, right?"

Mu Fengsha looked at the invisible figure as he was silent for a while. In the next second, he shook his head and said.

"That\'s useless. The Blood Crimson Sect usually installs a sealing formation on this mountain three days before the blood ritual begins. That formation should have enveloped the entire mountain by now. The formation is so powerful that not even Foundation Establishment can penetrate it, let alone a Qi Foundation Realm like Brother Yan and me. Before we even manage to escape, some sect disciples will catch and kill us first."

Really?

Qin Yi couldn\'t help but tilt his head in confusion.

He could seamlessly go back and forth from sect to this unnamed mountain, and he had never felt any repulsion from this place.

Could this be because of his Void Jump ability?

This ability allowed him to jump anywhere regardless of the formation barrier or seal?

"Formation doesn\'t really mean anything to me as it can\'t stop me from coming and going from this mountain. Of course, if you have anything to offer me, I might be willing to help you~."

Mu Fengsha was shocked and incredulously asked, "That formation doesn\'t work on you?"

"Of course, otherwise? How do you think I can still calmly talk to you now?"
