Chapter 226: Chapter 226: To Save Someone, He Must Be Sacrificed_1

Just within the underground parking lot, Dugu Zixi had found seven array plates.

Afterward, in other bizarre locations such as the women’s restrooms of other floors, garbage bins, female employees’ drawers, and the break room of a female manager, he found other array plates.

If it weren’t for Dugu Zixi utilizing the Invisibility Technique, should he attempt to remove these array plates and be seen by others, he would likely be labeled a "pervert" or "thief."

The murderous intent in Dugu Zixi’s eyes grew increasingly intense.

These scum, to kill off his Dugu Family, had really gone all out!

Just the array plates used to set up the Life-taking Black Evil Array numbered forty-nine in total!

And the Formation Eye of this Life-taking Black Evil Array wasn’t in the underground parking lot or on the rooftop, but rather implanted within a moving human body.

This person’s name was Ge Ming.

Moreover, the evil cultivator who had set up the array was extremely vicious, as he had bound the Formation Eye to Ge Ming’s entire body.

If Dugu Zixi wanted to break the Life-taking Black Evil Array, the moment it was broken, Ge Ming would also die.

Dugu Zixi located this Ge Ming immediately.

Seeing the black clouds engulfing the building grow denser and more terrifying by the moment, and with little time left before the activation of the grand array, Dugu Zixi had no time for hesitation.

He quickly set up a barrier around himself and Ge Ming and concisely explained the gravity of the situation to Ge Ming.

Then, Dugu Zixi proceeded to negotiate, "Ge Ming, when I destroy this Life-taking Black Evil Array, your physical body will disintegrate, but I can preserve your soul. If you’re willing, I can teach you a Ghost Cultivator’s mental method and grant you an opportunity. Additionally, I will protect your family for life, ensuring you can depart in peace. Or, if you have any other conditions, you can discuss them with me. Whatever I can do, I will certainly help you achieve."

Ge Ming naturally recognized Dugu Zixi, the future heir of their consortium.

After listening to Dugu Zixi’s words, a struggle flashed across his refined and fair face.

Even though he was still single and not yet married with children, he had parents and two elder sisters, not to mention he was the only son in his family.

If he died like this, his family line would end with him.

His parents and sisters had always doted on him since he was a child, practically spoiling him as he grew up.

He often felt fortunate that despite such conditions, he hadn’t turned out wrong and had graduated from a prestigious university, becoming the pride of his parents and sisters, a miracle in itself.

Ge Ming had always wanted to repay them, but now, cruel reality forced him to stand at this difficult crossroads of choices.

Ge Ming also knew all too well that if the Life-taking Black Evil Array weren’t broken, it was likely that everyone in the building would not be spared, including himself.

For tens of thousands of lives to survive, even if he disagreed, in the end, Dugu Zixi would forcibly take action to break the formation.

Thinking of Dugu Zixi’s promise, Ge Ming eventually nodded with tears in his eyes, "Alright! I trust you! Besides what you’ve offered, such as becoming a Ghost Cultivator and protecting my family, I have one more condition."

Dugu Zixi looked at him, "Speak, and as long as it’s within our power, we will definitely fulfill your wish!"

With a choking voice, Ge Ming said, "My parents are old, and I am their only son. I don’t want our Ge family lineage to end with me. So, could you help preserve some of my essence and find someone to act as a surrogate to bear my child, then hand them over to my parents to raise?"

Dugu Zixi immediately nodded, "Yes, that’s not a problem at all. I can help you retrieve and store your essence right now, and after this matter is settled, I’ll immediately find someone for the surrogacy. If you become a Ghost Cultivator, then, I will include you in the process, seeing it through from start to finish."

Ge Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Dugu Zixi’s promise, "Then I have no problem."

A resigned expression as if ready to face death appeared on his face, "Young Master, let’s do it!"

Upon seeing him close his eyes, a flicker of reluctance and sorrow flashed through Dugu Zixi’s eyes.

But just as Ge Ming had thought before, for the lives of the thousands in this building, he now had to be sacrificed.

The moment Ge Ming’s body turned into a mist of blood and the Life-taking Black Evil Array was broken, Shen Tianxing, who had been silently monitoring the surroundings using Divine Sense, instantly sensed a huge fluctuation of Spiritual Energy in a residential building more than a hundred meters away from the Baorongfeng Building.

Shen Tianxing knew that the array caster had suffered backlash!

She immediately teleported over.

Sure enough, she saw a man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties but was actually 101 years old by his bone age, lying on the ground, constantly vomiting blood.

His appearance was aging rapidly; his previously smooth skin took on the withered look of a centenarian in the blink of an eye.

It was as if he sensed Shen Tianxing’s arrival, and he opened his eyes slightly.

Upon seeing Shen Tianxing standing in front of him, his eyes widened in shock, "You, you, you," he stammered without managing to say a complete sentence, and then, he died.

Shen Tianxing quickly probed into his brain with her Divine Sense, extracting all of his memories before they could dissipate.

This practitioner from the Evil Dao turned out to be an elder of the Five Ghosts Sect, named Wa Keming.

This was the first time that Shen Tianxing, since her rebirth into this world, had encountered someone from a sect.

She had indeed heard of sects like the Kunlun Sect, Heavenly Master Sect, Maoshan Sect, and so on, but she had never dealt with these people nor knew what the state of cultivators’ cultivation levels was in this age of Dharma decline.

With the Spiritual Energy of the outside world nearly depleted, these cultivators must be living in seclusion in the mountains, hidden away from the world.

Was this Wa Keming, an elder of the Five Ghosts Sect with only the eighth level of Qi Refinement, representative of the average level of the few remaining cultivators in this world?

Shen Tianxing guessed wrong.

Wa Keming’s cultivation level already made him one of the top masters among cultivators in this world.

Otherwise, others wouldn’t have paid a heavy price and a huge sum of money to entice him out of seclusion to deal with the Dugu Family.

The one who enticed Wa Keming out of hiding was none other than the Rockefeller Consortium, the premier financier of the Federal Empire, holding the economic lifeline of the empire.

As for why the ruler of the Rockefeller Consortium would strike at the Dugu Family, Wa Keming did not know.

They would have to find the ruler of the Rockefeller Consortium and ask him directly to uncover this mystery.

After examining Wa Keming’s memories, Shen Tianxing collected Wa Keming’s storage ring, then immediately unleashed the Samadhi True Fire to incinerate his body completely.

Inside Wa Keming’s storage ring was an anonymous bank card from the Federal Empire; when Shen Tianxing probed it with her Divine Sense, she discovered it held a balance of one hundred million Federal Currency.

No wonder this old codger was willing to venture out and sell his services to the consortium of the Federal Empire.

It’s just that he had the fate to earn money, but not the fate to spend it!
