Chapter 378: Demon Blood Sacrifice

Hearing Nie Li's words, Wuya Zi was utterly frustrated. If Nie Li had said the Thousand Illusion Soul-Entangling Formation couldn't be broken, that would have been fine—he could simply go on his own. But Nie Li said the formation could be broken, and then refused to go. That was truly frustrating. He was heading to the Phantom Divine Palace just like many others, simply trying his luck. After all, getting through the Thousand Illusion Soul-Entangling Formation was far too difficult.

"You really can break the Thousand Illusion Soul-Entangling Formation? You're not lying to me, are you? Why don't you tell me the method to break it? If I manage to get something good from the Phantom Divine Palace, I'll split it with you fifty-fifty," Wuya Zi said, looking at Nie Li.

"The Thousand Illusion Soul-Entangling Formation has over a thousand variations, and each variation requires a different method to break. Could you remember all of them if I told you every single one?" Nie Li looked at Wuya Zi with a faint smirk. "Otherwise, why would it be called the Thousand Illusion Soul-Entangling Formation?"

Hearing Nie Li's words, Wuya Zi's head throbbed. A great formation with over a thousand variations—even if Nie Li told him the methods to break it, Wuya Zi probably still wouldn't be able to do it.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile at the exchange between Nie Li and Wuya Zi. Wuya Zi was probably about to fall right into Nie Li's trap. Even she didn't know whether Nie Li was telling the truth, but one thing was certain—Nie Li wouldn't be playing it this way without an ulterior motive.

"How about this then—I'll take you to the Phantom Divine Palace, you help me break the Thousand Illusion Soul-Entangling Formation, and we split everything we find fifty-fifty," Wuya Zi said after a moment's thought.

"No thanks." Nie Li shook his head and turned to Xiao Yu. "Let's leave this trouble behind us quickly."

"Wait!" Wuya Zi called out sharply.

"What is it?" Nie Li looked at Wuya Zi.

"If you don't come to the Phantom Divine Palace, you're dead for sure!" Wuya Zi said through gritted teeth.

"Since we've come to the Great World, it's inevitable that we might die here. If we die, we die—what's the big deal?" Nie Li shrugged and looked at Wuya Zi. "Are you thinking of using force?"

Hearing Nie Li's words, Wuya Zi softened his tone. "Of course not. There are far too many Demon God Sect members nearby. Without my protection, you won't make it back. Since death is certain either way, why not come with me to the Phantom Divine Palace?"

"It's not that we don't want to go. But along the way, if someone sees us together with a member of the Demon God Sect, we'll be branded as traitors to the human race. Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash that clean!" Nie Li said.

"That's just prejudice. In my view, demon or human—as long as you're not trying to snatch things from my hands, you're not my enemy," Wuya Zi snorted. "But anyone who tries to take something from me gets wiped out!"

"Even if you don't care, what will the Demon God Sect members think when they see you with two humans?" Nie Li added.

Wuya Zi considered this. What Nie Li said did make sense. "Do you have any good ideas then?"

Nie Li thought for a moment. "There might be a way."

"What way?" Wuya Zi's eyes lit up.

"Have you heard of a secret technique called the Demon Blood Sacrifice?" Nie Li asked, looking at Wuya Zi.

"The Demon Blood Sacrifice? Absolutely not!" Wuya Zi shook his head frantically. "That's one of the greatest taboos of our demon race!"

"Then forget it—there's no other way," Nie Li said with a shrug.

"What's the Demon Blood Sacrifice?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.
