Death Valley
The atmosphere in the Minotaur settlement was currently crowded because they all seemed to be busy with something. Not only that, some troops were also sent to several places to look for intruders who had killed one of their members.
Currently seen in one of the buildings a figure that was not too tall was moving at very high speed.
He was none other than Yi Yun who was infiltrating a certain place that was a large building that had two statues on it.
[Dig!]
[Host suggested taking a left lane through some houses to avoid detection of Minotaur]
Hearing what the System said, Yi Yun immediately moved at his high speed. His aura as well as body odor had been covered by the System so it would not be tracked by the Minotaurs.
As he continued to move, Yi Yun felt an extremely powerful aura not far from him.
[Dig!]
[Minotaurs who had the cultivation level of the fifth stage Sky Realm were on the move. Hosts are advised to stop first]
Yi Yun immediately stopped and stared from behind the house with a serious face.
Currently, the six-meter-tall Minotaur was walking slowly to a place that looked like a field. In the center, there was a blue axe stuck in a wood that gave off a strange aura from time to time.
Not only that, behind the Minotaur, another Minotaur with an equally powerful aura walked behind it. His face seemed dissatisfied every time as he had currently become the second leader in their tribe.
“Both are Minotaurs who fought before. It seems true that the fight determines the leader among them.” Inner Yi Yun and continued to watch what would happen next.
Not long after, the leader Minotaur arrived in front of an axe that looked extremely strong.
The other Minotaurs surrounded the area to see what would happen next.
Not long after, the Minotaur leader appeared to be prostrating as if praying. Not five minutes later, he slowly stood up and held the axe.
As the Minotaur held onto the axe's hilt, an unusually strong aura emanated and exploded in all directions that made all Minotaurs protect their bodies with qi.
Strong shocks occurred in the settlement because it seems that the power contained in the axe is indeed unusually strong.
[Dig!]
[Host advised to go as fast as possible in the southeast direction. If the Host continues to stand idly by, the blast of qi emanating from the weapon will help the Minotaur to track down the Host]
Hearing the notification from the System, Yi Yun naturally did not stay still and immediately shot up at his full speed. He actually wanted to see what would happen next but preferred to look for safety for now as he could not possibly be able to fight all those Minotaurs alone with his current level of strength.
Zrag!
The leader of the Minotaur pulled out the axe and raised it towards the sky. When that happened, a light blue aura with a black layer like a fire was crashing in all directions.
“Uoooo!” The Minotaur leader shouted loudly as his body was enveloped by the same aura coming from the axe.
The scream made the other Minotaurs also shout except one, the leader of both groups.
Busssh!
An extremely powerful Qi exploded in all directions and swept through all of the place even though it did not suppress the other Minotaurs.
“Finally the axe that the Minotaur leaders used in the past was in my hands! With this axe, I will make a final sacrifice to Master using human blood!” Shouted the Minotaur Leader with all his might.
“Come go! Prepare the prisoners!” Shouted the Minotaur Leader and directly walked in a certain direction that was the largest building in their settlement location which was where the bodies of the two creatures were sealed.
Both of them were none other than the body of the Heavenly Demon Wolf and the body of the Heavenly Demon Bats. And the Master of the Minotaurs was a Heavenly Demon Wolf.
While the body of the Heavenly Devil Bats was their Master's mortal enemy. The reason why his body was still sealed, was because they were unable to destroy it. Only the Ancient Blood Wolf species were able to do so but the old man guarding the border did not do so at all. And the reason was, he wanted to use the blood of the Heavenly Devil Bats to resurrect their ancestor that was the Heavenly Demon Wolf.
When the orders of the Minotaur Leader fell, the Minotaurs dragged many cultivators from one place. Among them, there were individuals that Yi Yun had encountered namely Ji Yuan and Ji Zho.
All of them were cultivators captured by the Minotaur in a period of nearly 50 years. They all looked extremely desperate from being imprisoned all this time.
On the other hand, Yi Yun was still seen constantly moving closer towards the building where the two ancient beings were sealed. With System rocks, the journey is certainly very smooth.
Since previously all the Minotaurs were busy, Yi Yun could easily get close because there was currently no Minotaur guarding the seal.
“This is the place!” Yi Yun was staring at the giant building with two statues on it that seemed to be facing each other.
“System! Check how to get inside!” Yi Yun's command was on his mind as he stared at a large door that had the head emblem of a Wolf.
[Dig!]
[Starting to analyze]
[Analysis complete]
[The door can only be opened with a blood sacrifice]
Yi Yun's face was slightly dark because the way to open the door was by way of blood sacrifice. When he wanted to ask the System if there was any other way, a warning from the System was heard.
[Dig!]
[Warning!]
[All Minotaurs are moving towards where the Host is]
Therefore, Yi Yun immediately moved towards the place recommended by the System, which was some hidden place around the building.
When Yi Yun had been hiding behind a sizable boulder, he stared at the Minotaur crowd that was carrying many human cultivators.
“It seems that the Minotaurs did know how to open the place.” Inner Yi Yun when he saw the prisoners who seemed to be made victims to open the building.
“Move faster!” Shouted one of the Minotaurs when kicking a cultivator who was walking slowly.
Gazing at that, the other cultivators moved even faster as they were extremely frightened at the moment. Of course they were all severely tortured while being a prisoner but not killed at all.
Ji Yuan who was currently in a state of concern even put on a face so ugly. He had not expected that Young Master would likely end up being a prisoner of a spiritual beast.
When he reached the building, the Minotaur leader turned around and stared at all the members of his tribe.
“Today we will keep the promise made by our ancestors to resurrect the Master from his death! As a race that evolved from an Ancient Blood Wolf into a Heavenly Demon Wolf, Master had a resurrection ability if the blood used was enough! Over these thousands of years, every generation of leaders has made sacrifices many times and to this point, our generation's turn has arrived!”
“Put the prisoners one by one to sacrifice!” Command the Minotaur leader with a very loud voice.
The prisoners who heard what the Minotaur leader said instantly learned why they were made prisoners, it was because they would be sacrificed to resurrect a certain creature that could potentially be a disaster in the Sky Continent.
