Yino felt that something was off about his current situation.
He had promised Yunjin that he would only be gone for a short while to relieve himself and would not be away for long. The reason Yino knew this was because the sacrificial ritual to the Mother Goddess of Life was very simple, and the process would only take a few minutes of waiting.
So once Yino confirmed the feasibility of the sacrifice, he only needed to convert all the materials he had accumulated on his body into combat power enhancement, and then he could go back to rest at ease.
But now, it seemed that something had gone wrong.
Yino didn’t remember any Full Moon Sect members infiltrating the Northern Luo Snow Mountain during the Snow Village Mission in the original game!
Putting aside the question of how these evil cultists managed to avoid the Immortal Alliance’s barrier and sneak into the Snow Mountain, what made Yino feel even more perplexed was that since he had just finished the sacrifice, his body was still permeated with the thick aura of the Mother Goddess of Life.
So the many cultists present didn’t doubt him at all, and as soon as they entered the room, they started chatting with Yino as if he were a good brother of the Full Moon Sect.
They all sat around the altar with Yino sandwiched in the middle, feeling completely relaxed as they discussed how they should sacrifice those Wuji Sect disciples later. They even turned their heads from time to time to ask Yino about his experience with sacrificial rituals.
-Wait, what?-
-What the hell was going on?-
Although everyone was wearing black robes with hoods, making it hard to distinguish them, Yino always felt that this group of Full Moon Sect members had a great deal of appreciation for him.

Otherwise, why would they all keep asking about his sacrificial experience?
They even called him brother and spoke to him in such a friendly manner, their eager eyes practically screaming “I really want to improve” on their faces.
There was no other way. They outnumbered him, and Yino was afraid of being killed if he didn’t preach to them. So he could only recall the sacrificial techniques he used in the game in his previous life and give them a brief overview.
These country bumpkins were really taking it seriously, and some even took out little notebooks to start taking notes.
“I see, the Mother Goddess has long grown tired of the old-fashioned prayers. These nursery rhyme-like sacrificial prayers are more popular in the Western Regions now!”
“No wonder, as soon as I entered, I smelled the strong scent of motherly love on the altar!”
“Yes, yes, I also noticed that this young man is enveloped in the gaze of the Mother Goddess! He must have some special sacrificial techniques to attract the attention and blessing of the Mother Goddess like this!”
The crowd discussed animatedly. If you ignored the topic of discussion, the learning atmosphere was indeed no worse than those righteous sects.
It’s just that Yino never thought that one day he would be teaching cultists how to perform sacrifices.
In the game, players could actually choose the evil path, although it was more torturous to play compared to the righteous path. But as a hardcore player who had achieved all the accomplishments, Yino had also spent countless nights grinding in front of the screen.
The reason Yino came to find the Altar of Life tonight was to see if the sacrificial strategy in the original plot could still be used.
Yino didn’t expect it to actually work. Moreover, because of his claim of being a former believer, he passed the verification on his first sacrifice and gained the deep trust of the Mother Goddess of Life!
However, the new problem now was…
Yunjin was still waiting by the hot spring, but Yino was surrounded by these cultists. How was he going to get back?
“By the way, brothers…”
“Whose order was it to have us come to the Snow Village in the middle of the night and kill all the Wuji Sect disciples?”
Seeing that the chat atmosphere was good, Yino took the opportunity to ask.
His idea was simple. Since he couldn’t go back, he might as well gather more information.
After all, there was no appearance of cultists in the original Snow Village investigation mission!
Faced with this unexpected situation, Yino could only improvise on the spot.
“I’m not very clear about that either…”
“However, I do know a little bit of inside information!”
A tall cultist suddenly said in a sneaky manner.
Cultists are also extremely gossipy. Many cultists flocked around, their eyes wide with interest.
“Last night, when I went out to relieve myself, I seemed to see a mysterious masked immortal secretly meeting with our leader!”
“A mysterious immortal?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Hearing the keywords, Yino also hurriedly stretched his head over and pricked up his ears.
But just when Yino thought he was going to hear some key information, the cultist who had exclaimed laughed and scratched his head, saying, “Hey, how was that immortal’s figure? Was she pretty?”
“Hey! Don’t say that. Although that immortal lady was wrapped up tightly and I could only see an outline… but just from her curves, she must be a peerless beauty even in the righteous sects! Her temperament is unquestionable!”
“Wow! Our Full Moon Sect is really prospering, to be able to establish a relationship with such a righteous immortal?”
“Dam! An immortal lady?, please step on me!”
The crowd chatted excitedly, their eyes glowing red.
-Damn it, what the hell are you talking about? Can’t you say something useful…-
Yino frowned as he listened, cursing inwardly.
He took a deep breath and took the initiative to steer the topic back:
“So, our leader chatted with that lady for a while, and then decided to have us go up the mountain tonight and kill all those Wuji Sect disciples?”
“I guess so! Otherwise, with our leader’s mediocre skills, how could he possibly make the barrier of the entire Northern Luo Snow Mountain temporarily fail?”
“It must be that beautiful immortal who secretly made a move last night!”
The tall cultist analyzed seriously.
“It seems that immortal also holds a high position in the righteous path! To be so ruthless as to want to kill all her own junior disciples!”
Yino narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a brief contemplation, he locked onto a few suspicious female characters from the original story in his mind.
