Jiji grass was a rare sight among Yin Hall disciples, not only surprising Zhou Xuan but also stirring immense curiosity in the other Blood Well Spiritualists.

They kept inquiring about the cultivation methods of Yin Hall and the beliefs behind it.

"Our Yin Hall worships the Evil God, but there are varying ranks among the Evil Gods. For example, the little Evil God on Stadium Road is too young, lacks a fixed congregation, and hasn't been recognized by Jing Country.

His methods are excessively brutal and savage, adopting a draining attitude towards his followers. Once he decides to claim a follower's life, he will extract their bones and marrow, using all ruthless means."

Jiji grass explained, "But Jing Country has many clans that worship Evil Gods which have existed since ancient times, passed down through generations.

As for the followers, they're consistent, all worshiping within the clan.

In terms of treating followers, besides the monthly Blood Sacrifice and the annual grand祭, they generally don't harm followers actively; instead, they bestow blessings.

My clan is called Shi Qiang, and the deity we worship is the Bone God."

"Are you from Shi Family Village?"

Zhimajiang asked.

"Yes, Shi Family Village has been worshiping the Bone God for generations. The Bone God lives eternally amid ashes."

Upon hearing this, Si Yuer was a bit confused and asked, "I'm a little puzzled. Your village worships the Bone God, so why did you go to Gangfeng Cave for the Liuyun Village祭, where they worship the God of Nine Snakes?"

"Perhaps I didn't explain clearly."

Jiji grass emphasized further, "Mingjiang Prefecture is vast, and outside the Prefecture City, there are around ten villages, much like Peng Town that recently resurfaced, they're almost entirely ancient clans with little external interaction and no intermarriage.

Behind these villages, there are almost always deities recognized by Jing Country, but the manner of祭 these Evil Gods is excessively bloody. The Life Temple's Blood Sacrifice has a very negative impact,

hence, Jing Country's Capital Mansion has joined forces with the Nine Prefectures' God Traveling Department to control the scale of Blood Sacrifice and the number of participants.

According to the current public announcement, the participants in each Blood Sacrifice ritual should not exceed a hundred.

Each clan cannot completely limit their numbers to below a hundred, often exceeding a bit, like around a hundred and thirty or a hundred and fifty, as long as it's not excessive, the God Traveling Department turns a blind eye."

Jiji grass paused for a moment before continuing, "However, no matter how many, it's far from reaching the祭specifications..."

"Therefore, your dozen clans gather at Gangfeng Cave to congregate again, fulfilling the祭requirements and establishment?" Si Yuer asked.

"Indeed."

Jiji grass said, "Although exposing the deities revered by our clan to other clans is not ideal, it's the only way to inherit the proper祭scale."

Zhou Xuan was intrigued, asking Jiji grass, "You're part of a clan with its own deity. From my understanding of Evil Gods, their control over followers is strict.

You have a deity by your side, and today you've sworn allegiance to the Blood Well Venerable as your highest faith, isn't such mixed belief risky?"

"Thank you for your concern, High Priest. Although I'm under the Heavenly Venerate, the Bone God will only take pride in me."

Jiji grass further added, "The God of Nine Snakes in Liuyun Village is very likely Xu Jingchuan. High Priest, if needed, two days from now is this month's祭 大典. I'm willing to serve at the forefront for you, infiltrating Liuyun Village to gather Xu Jingchuan's clues."

Before Zhou Xuan could respond, Zhimajiang interjected, "Your Shi Family Village has a blood feud with Liuyun Village, enemies meeting sparks tension. Normally, doing祭with our village is already like drawing swords, now you want to infiltrate our village, exploring the God of Nine Snakes?

You might get skinned, bones removed, and devoured by ten thousand snakes."

Zhou Xuan's interest grew.

So Zhimajiang is also from Mingjiang Prefecture's clan lineage, and it sounds like she's from Liuyun Village?

"Such a small Blood Well Society, yet full of talents..."

Upon hearing Zhimajiang speak, Jiji grass recognized her identity and said, "Now I know who you are, Liuyun Village, the only one operating a nightclub in Mingjiang Prefecture City.

The blood feud is a blood feud, but I have my means, your Liuyun Village cannot stop me."

"Jiji grass, Liuyun Village affairs no longer concern you."

Zhimajiang turned, bowing to Zhou Xuan, saying, "High Priest, I'm willing to serve Heavenly Venerate, during this month's祭in Gangfeng Cave, as a member of Liuyun Village, I'm willing to investigate the secrets concerning the God of Nine Snakes."

"You are originally from Liuyun Village, you're not already aware of the God of Nine Snakes' origins? Why do you need to investigate specially?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"The secrets of the God of Nine Snakes are in the hands of clan elders and won't be easily leaked. You could ask Jiji grass; even he doesn't know how his Bone God came to be."

"She's right, but during祭, the will of each clan's deity descends. It's the best opportunity to clarify the God of Nine Snakes' origins."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan was quite satisfied and said, "Very well, on that day, the two of you may summon me anytime. My will can descend upon you anytime,

to ascertain whether the God of Nine Snakes is Xu Jingshan from two hundred and twenty years ago. Upon success, I will duly reward you."
