Chapter 264 Blood Curse

Soon after Cheng Ruida came out of retreat, some mortals of the Cheng family got a strange disease. In just a few hours, nearly a thousand people died.

Cheng Ruida told the clan members that this was a highly contagious plague. The bodies of the dead clan members must be taken away from the family and burned and buried to prevent the plague from spreading further.

Although there were many unreasonable points in what Cheng Ruida said, no one dared to question or refute it because of his majesty in the clan.

All the bodies of these clan members were taken away by Cheng Ruida with a storage ring.

As for how the bodies were disposed of, no one knew.

But after the bodies were taken away, the strange disease stopped abruptly.

Half a year later, the Cheng family had just come out of grief, but it happened again, and a large number of clan members died.

This time, more than 3,000 people died, including dozens of cultivators in the early stage of Qi training.

The entire Cheng family immediately broke out in a huge panic.

Various rumors spread.

Some said the family was cursed, some said enemies came to seek revenge...

There were many mortals in the Cheng family who wanted to move out of the Cheng family and live somewhere else.

But under the suppression led by Cheng Ruida and a group of cultivators, this voice soon disappeared.

In the next two or three years, there was no large-scale death in the Cheng family, but the Cheng family was still not peaceful, and members of the family often disappeared inexplicably.

About four years ago, Cheng Han, who had already advanced to the perfect stage of Qi training and had not been able to build a foundation because he did not have a foundation-building pill, got a precious foundation-building pill from Cheng Ruida.

But Cheng Ruida had a condition to give this foundation-building pill to Cheng Han.

Cheng Han must willingly let go of his sea of ​​consciousness and let Cheng Ruida plant the soul-locking curse; from then on, life and death were controlled by Cheng Ruida.

Although he was reluctant, in order to build a foundation, for a stronger power and a long life, Cheng Han chose to surrender.

After Cheng Han successfully built his foundation, Cheng Ruida told him the truth about the death and disappearance of the Cheng family members.

It turned out that Cheng Ruida had obtained a secret technique in an ancient monument, called the "Blood Curse Technique".

This is an extremely vicious blood secret technique, usually used against enemies with deep blood feuds.

When the caster casts a blood curse on the enemy, the person cursed will lose his mind, slaughter his own relatives, and devour the flesh and blood of his relatives.

The more relatives the cursed person eats, the stronger he will be.

There is a condition for casting a blood curse, which is to use the blood of the enemy's blood relatives as the medium for casting.

As the patriarch of a family under the Beast Taming Sect, Cheng Ruida is still slightly involved in the beast taming.

After obtaining the blood curse, he thought of another way to use it.

Use the blood curse to quickly cultivate a powerful spirit beast.

So, he caught a spirit monkey of the ninth level of Qi training, and used the blood of his own people as the medium to cast a blood curse on the spirit monkey.

Cheng Ruida cast the spell three times in total.

The first time, he captured five ordinary tribesmen, killed them and bled them, and condensed their blood essence.

As a result, there was too little blood essence, causing the blood curse to fail.

Cheng Ruida guessed that it might be because the monsters were different from humans, which led to the difference in the amount of blood essence required to cast the blood curse.

Then, he made a second attempt.

This time, he killed more than a thousand ordinary tribesmen.

As he expected, after having enough blood essence, the blood curse was successful.

But the monkey died inexplicably not long after.

It was as if the monster's body and the blood curse were repelled, and the blood curse forcibly broke the monkey's body.

Cheng Ruida, who was somewhat unwilling to give up, decided to make a last attempt.

The third time he cast the blood curse, he killed more than 3,000 tribesmen.

This time, the curse was extremely successful.

Even the structure of the monkey's body was completely changed by the blood curse, and it became the blood demon that is now a combination of monkey and bat.

The newly born blood demon is not powerful, and it has the strength of the ninth level of Qi training.

In order to prevent the blood demon from being hunted by the uninformed Cheng family cultivators, Cheng Ruida fed the blood demon for two years.

During this period, Cheng Ruida would feed the blood demon with spirit stones and elixirs, as well as the Cheng family members.

Two years later, the blood demon advanced to the foundation-building stage.

The blood demon began to hunt on its own.

Since then, the difficulties of the Cheng family members have intensified.

The blood demon slaughtered the Cheng family members wantonly, and the number of Cheng family members decreased rapidly.

Until the blood demon advanced to the middle stage of foundation-building and showed signs of entering the mature stage, Cheng Ruida knew that he could no longer leave the blood demon alone.

He reported to the Beast Taming Sect that there were demons in the Cheng family causing chaos, and asked the Beast Taming Sect to send alchemists to help eliminate the demons.

Most of the existing cultivators of the Cheng family knew that Cheng Ruida used his clan members to raise the blood demon, and only the Cheng family mortals were kept in the dark.

Moreover, during the period when the blood demon was rampant, many Cheng family mortals wanted to escape from the Cheng family, but they were all controlled by Cheng Ruida's poison.

Poisoned people must take an antidote every five days, otherwise they will not be able to bear the severe itching and will scratch themselves to death.

Song Wen also learned something from Cheng Han's memory.

Cheng Ruida had promised Cheng Han that when the Cheng family members had recuperated for a period of time and the population recovered, they would help Cheng Han cultivate a blood demon.

Cheng Han had also comprehended the "blood curse technique". At the end of the blood curse technique, it was clearly recorded that this technique came from the God Blood Sect.

After devouring Cheng Han's essence, blood and soul, Song Wen put his body into the storage ring.

At this time, three holy armor Gu came with three people, two dead and one alive.

Just now, these three people witnessed the process of Song Wen killing Cheng Han.

The two people who died were Cheng Wu and Cheng Qi who had been monitoring Song Wen.

The one who was captured alive was Qiu Lu.

"Senior Wu, please don't kill me." Qiu Lu said tremblingly.

Song Wen had a sneer on his face.

"Miss Qiu Lu, the daughter of the head of the Cheng family actually disguised herself as a slave. It's really unfair to you."

Song Wen learned Qiu Lu's identity from Cheng Han's memory.

Qiu Lu had no spiritual roots and could not practice. Her status in the Cheng family should have been extremely low.

But she was born in a family of immortals and was the daughter of the head of the family. She was not satisfied with the mediocre life of mortals. She longed for powerful power and a higher status.

She couldn't practice herself, so she could only rely on powerful cultivators.

So, Qiu Lu used her appearance as a bargaining chip to wander among the cultivators of the Cheng family. With her clever mind, she soon had a place in the Cheng family.

She also successfully became another means for Cheng Ruida to control the cultivators of the Cheng family.

Seeing Song Wen reveal her identity, Qiu Lu looked horrified.

"Senior Wu, I can be your slave, I..."

Song Wen was too lazy to listen to her nonsense, and used his spiritual power to wrap her up and flew to the underground cave.

The ancient site that Cheng Ruida had visited had clues to the God Blood Gate.

Song Wen was determined to get this memory of Cheng Ruida.

On the way to the underground cave, Song Wen swallowed the essence, blood and soul of Qiu Lu and the other two, and collected the bodies of the three.
