Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 35 Who is the Hidden One?

"sorry."

After leaving the tavern, Li Miaoyu apologized to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan asked in surprise, "What's there to apologize for?"

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to a place like this. I never expected to run into someone like this, and I've embarrassed you."

Bai Yan waved his hand: "It's nothing, I didn't care at all, and I'm not familiar with that person."

"That was my fault too, I'm sorry! I... I'll definitely make it up to you in the future!"

After saying that, Li Miaoyu ran away without looking back, leaving Bai Yan standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses. Although he was not good at expressing himself, he should at least try to make things clear. So he followed the place where Li Miaoyu had left.

What he didn't notice was that two groups of people acted much faster than him and had already taken action first.

……

"Is this the City of Strange Stones?"

Three days have passed, and Liu Musen has changed drastically.

Ever since he drove off the Blood Lion, he was noticed by the Blood Moon Cult and forced to join the Blood Moon Church.

But the next day he found it really delicious.

He was lucky; he successfully awakened in just one ritual and became a true chosen one!

The extraordinary power filled him with ecstasy. Had he known the Blood Moon Church was this powerful, he would never have wasted half his life in the settlement.

Forty years east of the river, forty years west of the river, and at the age of forty, he finally ushered in his miracle!

His first task was to become a nail in the stone city.

The city of Qishi is not a monolithic entity. Unlike other main cities that were established by the support of the masses, Qishi is unified only because of its powerful military force.

However, he was not absolutely powerful; beneath the surface of order, countless shadows were taking root and sprouting.

"A city without faith and goals to rely on is ultimately just a pile of loose sand."

After joining the Blood Moon Church and witnessing the greatness of the gods, Liu Musen finally understood how terrible it is to have no faith.

Therefore, the purpose of the Blood Moon Church is to spread the faith of the Blood Moon in this land until His coming.

Liu Musen planned to first find the church's underground contact, who had been living in Strange Stone City as an ordinary survivor and had a lot of key information.

Following the instructions, he continued on his way until he arrived at a street with few people.

"It should be around here."

Just then, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise coming from not far away.

"Who are you!?"

Oh? Is there an emergency?

Taking a cautious approach, Liu Musen decided to secretly go and observe.

He quietly crept onto the roof of the building next to him, and following the direction of the sound, he arrived at the top of a small alley and saw the scene inside.

Three thugs with blond hair and frivolous expressions surrounded a terrified girl.

"It seems like this kind of thing happens everywhere."

Liu Musen shook his head helplessly, but he was not prepared to make a move. He simply watched the show unfold quietly.

The time to meet his contact was fast approaching, and he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

The blond-haired guys below are all members of the Haogu Gang, the gang that Passerby A joined.

After receiving the message from the passerby, they followed Bai Yan and his group, preparing to find an opportunity to strike. Unexpectedly, they actually ran into him by chance.

Seeing that Li Miaoyu had left alone, they immediately followed her and waited until they reached a secluded alleyway where they cornered her.

Passerby A swaggered up to the other person: "Hehehe, little sister, you and that Bai Yan seem to be on pretty good terms?"

"What do you want to do?"

The passerby burst into arrogant laughter: "What do you want? Haha! I'd rather you be the one wanting to mess with me."

"You can only blame yourself for your poor judgment. Why did you get so close to that Bai Yan? What a coincidence! My situation is the opposite of yours. My relationship with Bai Yan... well, it's a little bit not good."

Li Miaoyu retreated several steps until her back was against the wall, with nowhere left to go: "Didn't you say before that he was the Chosen One? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?"

"Heh, him?"

Passerby A sneered: "That coward, he has no guts or ambition whatsoever. Even if he gained power, he'd still just hang out with those peasants. Oh, I almost forgot, you're a peasant too. But that guy's got pretty good luck, he's had one stroke of good fortune after another, managing to meet someone as beautiful as you."

The two blond-haired men next to him grinned lewdly. "Hey, Jia-ge, want me to help you hold her down? You go first?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

After saying that, they reached out and grabbed at Li Miaoyu.

"No! Ahhh!"

boom!

Suddenly, the blond-haired man's head swelled up like a balloon and then exploded.

The passerby stared blankly at the bloody scene, his hand, which was unbuckling his belt, also stopped in his tracks.

What...what happened?

The two blond-haired men died suddenly before they could even get close to each other.

He looked at the girl in front of him in surprise and doubt. Was it her who did it?

Li Miaoyu was still in a panic, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

No! It's not her!

And who is that?

"Li Miaoyu!"

A loud shout broke the brief silence. Passerby A turned his head and saw that Bai Yan had arrived at the alley entrance at some point.

What's going on! Why is he here? Passerby A was puzzled. He had clearly instructed others to keep an eye on Bai Yan and report any news immediately, so why hadn't he heard anything?

But the passerby quickly put the matter out of his mind; now he should be more worried about how to get out of there.

The passerby already had the answer in his heart: he must have killed the two people just now. Only a chosen one who possesses extraordinary power could kill them so easily.

……

On the way there, Bai Yan sensed something was wrong, because Li Miaoyu wasn't taking the route home, but instead went to a sparsely populated outlying area.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw Li Miaoyu and Passerby A standing in the alley with terrified expressions, and two headless corpses lying next to them.

The situation at the scene left Bai Yan somewhat bewildered: "What happened? Why is that random passerby here, and why is someone dead?"

Before he could figure out the cause and effect, he saw the passerby take off running.

Bai Yan did not stop them. Passerby A and Li Miaoyu were ordinary people, but he sensed a hidden divine power fluctuation at the scene, suggesting that a third party was present, who should be the culprit behind the current situation.

The truth lies beyond all that is impossible.

The opponent was very well hidden, but Bai Yan, who was empowered by two divine systems, saw through it easily.

Bai Yan looked at a certain spot on the roof, gathering divine power in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Come out."

Liu Musen: "?"
