Chapter 602 - 581: One More Update
Gu Dao and Xi Feng shared the same confusion, but now, to avoid drawing attention, they could only follow the crowd step by step forward. In the corner of his eye, Gu Dao saw his own Princely Heir slowly making his way to the doorway, while he himself was still a few people away from the entrance. Moreover, these disciples of Ghoul Ravine were all craning their necks to look inside, blocking the view. Even if something happened, they wouldn’t be able to protect the Princely Heir immediately. This was what he was most anxious about.
However, in the next moment, Gu Dao sensed something was wrong. Zong Yunqian, who had reached the door, suddenly stopped, his face a picture of horror as he stared at the scene inside. His expression was weird and terrifying, as if he had seen something extremely frightening, forming a stark contrast with the excited faces of the surrounding Ghoul Ravine disciples.
Gu Dao’s first thought was that the Princely Heir would be discovered. Such an expression was extremely noticeable, and the moment someone inside looked up...
What on earth was inside?
At this point, Zong Yunqian could no longer hear any sound around him. The force of the crowd that was pushing him forward became more and more distant in his mind. He was jostled by the people, staggering, unable to stand firm, only hearing a rattling sound in his throat that echoed in his head, threatening to swallow him whole.
Zong Yunqian’s vision blurred from the reality to vague shapes, and then back to clarity. The scenes imprinted themselves deeply into his memory, tugging at all his nerves.
The painful moaning continued. The room was packed with disciples of Ghoul Ravine, their actions delirious, expressions maniacal, utterly crazed. Gu Dao had just squeezed his way to the doorway. Through the wide-open doors, his first glimpse was of the Qiandao Temple disciples in the center of the room, moaning in agony. The young disciple was not old, his body bound in a grotesque posture to the pillar in the middle of the room. His distorted features were barely recognizable, his arms, thighs, and neck festooned with tubes. Three or four Ghoul Ravine disciples surrounded the pillar, gaping mouths extracting blood from the man’s body. Gu Dao instantly understood his Princely Heir’s feelings, his body froze, unable to move, as he helplessly witnessed the scene.
Soon, the blood from the person on the pillar seemed to have been drained clean. Two people inside immediately took him down and threw him aside, then promptly lifted another Qiandao Temple disciple and tied him up. The disciples of Ghoul Ravine who had sucked the blood instantly looked revived, in stark contrast to their previous stiff state, then orderly left through another room.
"Don’t push, don’t push—"
The people inside shouted loudly, but the crowd outside continued to swarm forward. Amidst the noisy commotion, Gu Dao felt all the blood in his body rush to his head.
