Chapter 153 – Helpless Decision
Falling down before even meeting any enemies, this was a sad thing.
The Valley of Yin Spirits’ reputation was well deserved. By coming this far, even Yu Tian Long and Yu Zi Han were having some difficulty with resisting the Yin Spirits. If they continued to the center of the valley, even they would fall down.
“I’ve always heard rumors about how terrifying these Yin Spirits are, and I finally get a chance to see it for myself. Rumors even said that Late Heavenly Core warriors are unable to resist the Yin Spirits in the center of the valley. I’m afraid we won’t be able to make it to the altar.”
Yu Tian Long had a bitter smile on his face. When they looked at Jiang Chen and Big Yellow who were calm and relaxed, they became even more depressed. This was ridiculous, the gap between them was just too huge.
“Brother Jiang, what should we do now? It looks like we have become your burdens.”
Yu Zi Han looked at Jiang Chen and asked. In their minds, Jiang Chen had become the center of this group.
Jiang Chen was calm and didn’t show any signs of panicking. He flipped his palm and retrieved a jade pot from his storage ring.
Yu Tian Long took a deep breath and nodded his head, he knew Jiang Chen was right. Because, only by striking according to his plan would they have a chance at defeating the Blood Devils. But, he suddenly thought of something and asked straightaway, “Young master Jiang, just now you said, we’ll wait until Lord Blood Moon has all his attention on the blood sacrifice ceremony… doesn’t that also mean that we’ll wait until the blood sacrifice ceremony begins before we strike?”
“I did say that. A blood sacrifice ceremony like this will take some time to complete, and these 99 teenage girls will be sacrifice one by one, they aren’t all sacrificed at once. You just have to pray that Yu Zi Yan isn’t the first one to be sacrificed.”
Jiang Chen didn’t show any emotion on his face.
“Young master Jiang that also means some of these girls will be sacrificed?”
Yu Zi Han asked.
“Anyways, we would need someone to sacrifice some of them. Sacrificing a few of them is better than sacrificing all of them. It’s not that I don’t want to save them all, but I need to save as many as I possibly can.”
Jiang Chen still didn’t show any emotion on his face. It was hard to believe that a sixteen year old young man could treat life so lightly.
But what Jiang Chen said was correct. Sometimes, someone would have to sacrifice themselves in order to save the lives of many. Even with that, Jiang Chen still wanted to wait until the blood sacrifice ceremony had begun before he would strike, it was only chance of dealing with Lord Blood Moon. If they succeeded, only one life would be sacrificed, while the rest would be saved. This was the only way to do it, if not, every single one of them would have to die.
“We’ll follow young master Jiang’s words.”
Yu Tian Long’s breathing became faster, he was worried, because Yu Zi Yan was the one closest to the altar, and she was the first one in the line. That also meant, if Lord Blood Moon wanted to begin the blood sacrifice ceremony, it was highly possible she would be the first one to be sacrificed.
“Sister, all I can do now is pray for your luck.”
Yu Zi Han clenched his fist tightly, and Yu Tian Long’s eyes turned red. For them, each second passing meant more suffering. The feeling of watching their close family member struggling in hellish fires while all they could do was watching, the feeling simply couldn’t be understood by anyone.
Jiang Chen sighed in his mind. This kind of family relationship made him feel warm, but at the same time helpless.
This was life, which was full of helpless moments. You were forced to make all kinds of decision, and sometimes the decisions would be life threatening. But even if you were forced to, you still had to make that decision.
Time was ticking, and soon it became midnight. At this point of time, the Yin Spirits within the valley had become really thick. Lord Blood Moon, whose eyes had been closed all this time, suddenly opened his eyes.
