This mansion is neither luxurious nor the largest in Toothless City, but it can be seen that this is not a place where ordinary people can live.
To be able to survive in a city shrouded in darkness like Toothless City, and survive well, you must have some skills and background.
But at this moment, the owner of this mansion was sighing and frowning.
"Master, please think of a way. Why don't you buy a child to replace Yong'er?" Looking at the middle-aged man outside, he shook his head and said, "Definitely not. In this grand ceremony, the Blood Temple Sect will name Yong'er."
As a tribute."
"Then you look for Elder Qiu. We usually give Elder Qiu so many benefits, but at the critical moment, he has to come forward."
The woman urged.
"I've already looked for it, but it's useless. What the Blood Blade Sect has decided cannot be changed at all."
The middle-aged man said helplessly.
"What happened this time?
Why did the Blood Brass Cult choose Yong'er?"
The woman was anxious and puzzled.
"I still remember that last month when we went to the Cold Water Swamp to catch the cold water lizards, a group of people wanted to snatch our prey. We shot and wounded that group of people. Among them, there was a round-faced man wearing a green robe who was very fat.
young people."
"remember?
What's wrong?
Are those people untouchable?
They didn’t say who they were, and we didn’t say who we were.”
The woman was puzzled.
"That fat young man is Wu Yang, the son of Wu Ziwei, the deputy leader of the Blood Temple Sect. He knows our identities, so he secretly retaliates against us."
The middle-aged man said.
"If I had known this, I should have killed him last time in Cold Water Swamp."
The woman said angrily.
"Hey, what's the use of talking about it now? I have to find a way to take Yong'er away. I will never watch Yong'er go to sacrifice."
The middle-aged man said firmly.
"I will fight to the death to keep Yong'er."
The woman also said.
For this couple, the man's name is Lu Wentian and the woman's name is Xu Ruiniang.
They are not the original residents of Toothless City, but they settled in Toothless City because they took refuge. They are not ordinary people, they are all monks with cultivation. As for their cultivation, they appear to be in the Golden Core realm, but in reality they are
, they are all already in the Nascent Soul realm.
Nascent Soul Realm, no matter where in the Lower Immortal Realm, is not a small player, but there are too many strong people in this world. Sometimes, the strong ones in the Fusion Realm and Mahayana Realm have to shrink into a corner and make compromises, let alone the Nascent Soul Realm.
.
There are many elders of the Blood Temple Sect who are in the Out-of-body Realm and the Distraction Realm. The leader borrowed the magic power of the ancestor of the Blood Temple, and his cultivation has reached the Mahayana Realm, so people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and dozens of people stood at the door.
These people are members of Lu Wentian's clan. They were almost wiped out back then, but only a few dozen clan members escaped. Finally, they gathered together and survived in Toothless City.
Among the dozens of people, the leader was an old man. This old man looked thin and vulnerable, but his whole body was introverted, his aura was reserved, and his cultivation level was higher than that of Lu Wentian.
This man is Lu Feng, the leader of the Lu clan.
Seeing the tribesmen standing at the door, Lu Wentian already knew what they meant, although they did not speak.
"Wentian, you can't take Yong'er away."
Lu Feng said with a somewhat complicated expression. As a clan leader, he has his own considerations. The Lu clan has already suffered a disaster and cannot suffer a second time. If Yong'er is sacrificed as a child, the Lu clan can survive in peace.
, as the patriarch, I will choose the former.
Lu Wentian stood there with a complicated look on his face. He also knew that if he escaped with Yong'er, the whole family might be affected.
"I'm sorry, we must take Yong'er away. We can't just watch Yong'er sacrifice."
Xu Ruiniang stepped forward and said firmly as before, as a mother, sometimes she will do whatever it takes to protect her children.
"You guys basically said in a complicated way, as a clan leader, you have your own considerations. The Lu clan has already suffered a catastrophe and cannot suffer a second time. If Yong'er is sacrificed as a child, the Lu clan can be safe.
As a clan leader, I will choose the former.
Lu Wentian stood there with a complicated look on his face. He also knew that if he escaped with Yong'er, the whole family might be affected.
"I'm sorry, we must take Yong'er away. We can't just watch Yong'er sacrifice."
Xu Ruiniang stepped forward and said firmly as before, as a mother, sometimes she will do whatever it takes to protect her children.
"You can't escape at all. This area of tens of thousands of miles is the territory of the Blood brake sect. I don't want to watch Yong'er sacrifice, but what can I do? Now we, the Lu family, are just here.
Yacheng is still hanging on and can no longer endure any more hardships."
Lu Feng said helplessly, as a clan leader, he feels the most aggrieved at this time. He cannot protect his own people. He is really a coward.
"Yes, no one wants Yong'er to sacrifice, but there is absolutely no way. Can we still resist?"
"Ask God, we are the only ones left in the Lu family. If we are destroyed, there will be no Lu family in this world. Yong'er's sacrifice can preserve our Lu family. This sacrifice is
It’s worth it. Although what I say doesn’t sound nice, it’s the truth.”
"Sometimes, some sacrifices have to be made."
"Wentian, if you leave with Yong'er, we will definitely not agree."
"Wentian, at this time, you should put the Lu family first. It was you who suggested settling in Toothless City in the first place. You can't just watch Toothless City become our tomb."
The tribesmen said one after another.
Lu Wentian and Xu Ruiniang could not argue. In the final analysis, they were the ones responsible for this problem. Even if they escaped with their sons, the clan members left behind would have to pay for their mistakes. Lu Wentian and
Xu Ruiniang is not a cold-blooded person and cannot turn a blind eye.
"Father, mother, let me go and offer sacrifices."
Suddenly, a slightly childish voice came, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
A child of about seven years old with a pretty face came over and said calmly. From his tone and attitude, it was hard to imagine that he was just a seven-year-old child.
The Lu clan originally shouted that Yong'er should be sacrificed, but when they saw the child standing up so sensibly and putting the overall situation first, they, the adults, were a little ashamed and blushing.
"Yong'er, mother will never let you sacrifice."
Xu Ruiniang stepped forward and hugged the child. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. This child has been extremely smart since he was a child. The most important thing is that he is sensible. He is so sensible that it makes people feel bad.
