Chapter 3928 Cursed

The people being carried over reeked of a foul stench, their bodies were rotting in many places, oozing pus and blood, and some of their wounds were festering and infested with maggots. As these people were carried over, the crowd immediately parted to make way for them.

Before long, more than a dozen people were carried over and placed next to the people of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary.

These dozen or so people, all emaciated, men and women, were wailing incessantly.

After these people were carried over, some of the patients' family members knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary, begging them to treat their illnesses.

We were also very curious about how the people of the Blood Shadow Sanctuary treated these patients, as they seemed to be on the verge of death.

Then, the dozen or so members of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary each took out a dagger, and each of them stood next to a rotting person, chanting incantations and circling around the patient.

Before long, the members of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary all used daggers to cut open their palms, and immediately red blood gushed from the wounds.

The members of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary dripped the blood flowing from their palms onto the festering wounds of the others.

A moment later, I saw white smoke rising from the wounds of those people, and a foul stench spread around us. We all covered our mouths and noses.

A moment later, a miracle happened.

When the blood from the hands of those Crimson Shadow Sanctuary members fell onto the wounds of those people on the ground, those wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene left us all speechless.

Good heavens, their methods are so impressive that I feel even the people at the Xue family's pharmacy aren't as skilled as them.

The slovenly Taoist priest, like me, was quite surprised. He whispered, "Old Wu, these people from the Crimson Shadow Holy Hall are amazing! If we capture one of them and have him treat those seriously injured people every day, wouldn't we be rich?"

"Brother Luo, you're overthinking it. Things aren't that simple. You'll find out soon enough." Kassan seemed to know something.

Before long, those who had been on the verge of death actually got up from the ground and kept kowtowing to the people of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary to express their gratitude...

Just then, a leader from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary spoke a few words to the group, acting all high and mighty.

After these words were spoken, those who had been cured, along with their families, all looked fearful and hesitant.

Then, the leader of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary looked extremely angry, as if he were cursing.

After this process, the few people who had been healed and were kneeling on the ground left, but the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary showed no intention of leaving.

We were completely baffled, having no idea what they were up to.

At this moment, Kassan's face darkened, and he whispered to us, "These people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary are making these people who have been healed bring over all their children. They say their children are cursed and must be taken away to be purified by the gods, otherwise their old illnesses will relapse, and they will rot and die..."

After a while, we finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that this group of people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary had come to the slums to scam children.

I just don't know what they're going to do with these children.

Kassan then added, "The reason these people's bodies are rotting and oozing pus is probably because of the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary. Just now, they pretended to be mysterious and sprinkled the antidote on those people's wounds, which is why their wounds healed so quickly."

Hearing what Kassan said, we all nodded in agreement, finding it to be very reasonable.

After waiting a while, each of those who had been healed by the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary came over carrying a child.

Seeing this, the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary showed joy on their faces and went over to take the child from the others.

The babies were only three to five months old, still in swaddling clothes, and some of them were already crying.

It was clear that those who had been healed were extremely reluctant to hand their children over to the people of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary; their hands were trembling.

However, they have been bewitched by the people of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary. If they do not hand over the child, they will repeat the same mistakes and their bodies will rot and stink.

Those from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary took the child in their arms, turned around, and left, quickly heading out of the slums.

We waited until the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary had walked some distance before we followed them.

As they walked, the little demon girl asked, "Brother Luo, what do these people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary want with children? They're so young, still breastfeeding. They probably won't survive long without their mothers."

"They're definitely not up to anything good. Let's stick close to them and see what they're up to," the slovenly Taoist priest called out.

We followed behind the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary and soon emerged from the slums. On a main road, several cars were waiting for them.

The people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary quickly got into the car and drove away.

"Kassan, go and follow them. Report your location to us as you go. We'll follow you," I whispered.

"Okay, Brother Wu, be careful." Kassan called out before instantly disappearing into the void and chasing after the people from the Crimson Shadow Temple.

A few of us huddled together and slowly walked in the direction the Crimson Shadow Temple members had left.

At that moment, I looked back and saw that Zhang Qing'an and Xiao Pang had also followed. They must have seen what had happened.

After we had walked a distance, Brother Gu came over and asked, "Xiao Jie, what did Kasang go to do? What are those people in red clothes doing?"

Brother Gu and the others weren't on our side at the time, so they didn't know that these red-clad men were from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary.

I explained what had just happened to Brother Gu, and then said, "Kasang went to follow that group of people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary. Following them might allow us to make contact with the higher-ups of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary. Then, we can follow those people and find the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary's lair."

“Those people who took so many children must not be up to anything. When the time comes, we’ll try to rescue all those children,” Brother Gu sighed.

Brother Gu is different now, because he is also about to have a child and can't bear to see such a scene.

But that seems impractical. Bringing these babies out of such a dangerous place would be extremely difficult.
