Chapter 1382: Ixchel
The whisper was from a weakened goddess, conveying her wish to meet Qi Xuansu.Of course, this was not a goddess from the Holy Court. The Holy Court was extremely domineering, insisting on singularity in all things. There was only one Goddess who was the daughter of the omnipotent Supreme Will.
The goddess summoning Qi Xuansu was one of the Southern Continent’s ancient gods.
After a brief hesitation, Qi Xuansu decided to follow the voice and investigate.
In New Paititi, no one would dare lay a hand on him.
This strong confidence did not come from his cultivation level, but from his identity, as well as the powerful Daoist Order standing behind him.
To harm an envoy who represented the Daoist Order was to slap the Daoist Order in the face. Everyone knew that such an insult would be met with enmity. Even if the Daoist Order had no time to go to war now, it would surely settle the score later.
Thus, Qi Xuansu left the inn and followed the voice back to the temple district.
It was already late at night. The moon hung high overhead, and the temple district was illuminated. The blood sacrifice had long ended. The spectators were gone, and the mounds of corpses had been cleared away.
Qi Xuansu had heard about a sacrificial pit that lay beneath the temple district. Each temple above had a dedicated passage leading to it, but these were not meant for people. They were smooth stone chutes in which corpses were thrown and slid directly down into the pit below.
This reminded Qi Xuansu of the Ghost Kingdom. When so many corpses accumulated over time, serious problems would arise. That place had so much yin energy that it had corroded a rift to the underworld and turned Beimang Mountain—one of the 72 Blessed Lands of the Daoist Order—into a ghostly domain. The Daoist Order had no choice but to have Elder Yao refine the seed of the Emperor Willow to seal this rift, which ultimately led to the birth of Little Yin.
If Qi Xuansu ever intended to address the corpse issue, he could replicate the Ghost Kingdom solution and invite the Three Yin Beings over. They were experts in such matters.
