Chapter 580: Five hundred and seventy-nine, with ulterior motives
Ah Pin stepped forward, taking his father to one side, "Dad, they are my friends, you can’t treat them like this." He hadn’t known his father would act this way, or he wouldn’t have brought Song Yan Ning and the others back. Now he really felt guilty.
"You don’t concern yourself with this." Ah Pin’s father said coldly. The reason he had kept Song Yan Ning and the others was actually to use their blood to sacrifice to Shuimu Lake. The ancestral notes stated that once Shuimu Lake absorbed the blood of cultivators, it would undergo a change, potentially allowing the seal at the lake’s bottom to be broken and its water supply to become inexhaustible. But he wouldn’t tell Ah Pin this.
"Dad!"
Ah Pin’s father waved his hand to cut off Ah Pin’s next words, "I’m doing this for the good of our village." Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Ah Pin and walked towards Song Yan Ning and her companions.
Song Yan Ning saw that the villagers were beyond reason, her eyes flashed, and a white light shot out from them. She practiced spiritual power, which could control the thoughts of others.
Those blocking Song Yan Ning and her companions felt a wave of dizziness as a voice in their heads commanded them to step aside. Their feet moved uncontrollably to the side, quickly making way for Song Yan Ning and her companions.
"What are you doing?" Ah Pin’s father yelled in surprise as he saw the crowd making way.
Song Yan Ning swept Ah Pin’s father with a cold glance, then walked away with Qin Yushen and Elder Mie Yu.
Ah Pin’s father felt a chill run through him and thought to follow, but couldn’t muster the courage. It seemed Song Yan Ning and her companions differed from the cultivators mentioned in his ancestor’s notes.
