Chapter 352 The Ritual (Part 2)
Hearing this sentence, Xu Tianran's original anger suddenly solidified, and a strange luster flashed in his eyes. This seemed to be the only good news for him today's huge loss at the same time. The death of the emperor means that he, the prince, can finally be straightened. The power he is in control now is enough to support him ascend the throne. The biggest resistance was originally from the nobles of Xu Guozhong. But with such a magnificent explosion just now, could Xu Guozhong survive?
Everything seemed to have become less bad again...
Looking up at the large number of evil soul masters who had already gathered there in the air, Xu Tianran gritted his teeth and cried out loudly, "Father, Father, why are you leaving?" The tears that appeared in the two lines, whether because of grief or heartache, instantly slid down.
...
Surrounded by mountains, the moon is lit.
This is the center of the west mountain of the Yue Empire. The huge valley is more than ten miles in radius. However, the entire valley is extremely round.
The valley is sunken into a semicircle, full of clear lake water. The surface of the lake water is sparkling and clear.
At this moment, several figures broke the peace here. They were actually flying in the air and soon arrived above the lake.
If you look closely, you will find that there were four people in total. Two of them were covered with black veils, and in their hands, each with one person, a young man and a young girl.
At this moment, the young man and the girl were screaming in surprise. But they could not move at all, and they could not even struggle.
Soon, the two men in black took them to fly directly above the center of the lake and hovered in mid-air.
Looking at the lake below, two men in black raised the young men and women they were carrying.
"What are you going to do?" the young man shouted shrillly, his voice full of trembling.
A man in black voice rang out, "We want to hold a grand sacrifice, and we need the life of a living person as a sacrifice. We just caught you and your wife. Tell me, who would like to make this sacrifice? Whoever did the sacrifice, we will let the other one go."
"No, no. Please, let us go." The girl's age, which was not long after her newlyweds. Her voice was even more trembling, and her eyes looked at her husband with a hint of pleading.
The husband looked at her with a daze, and suddenly, he shouted loudly, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Use her as a sacrifice, and use her as a sacrifice."
The wife looked at her husband who had vowed him in surprise, with disbelief in her eyes.
"How can you do this? Didn't you say that you should protect me with your life? You, you liar."
The husband said almost hysterically: "Life is only once, and it will be gone after death. Are you just fine? What did you mean when you look at me just now? Didn't you just want me to sacrifice for you? I'm so kind to you, why can't you sacrifice for me and let me survive?"
"You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense. I, I want to survive, but I want to survive with you. You go to die. You should die. Two of you, kill him, kill him." The wife's emotions also became hysterical.
Two cold lights flashed instantly, cutting the couple's throats at the same time. Blood rushed out of the huge wound like a fountain and dripped on the lake below.
The couple's eyes were full of incredible expressions. They seemed to want to ask something, but they could no longer speak.
A man in black said disdainfully: "It's true that human feelings are warm and cold. When the disaster comes, they all fly away. How many times has this been? It has never failed. This place is really strange. It must be triggered by the lives and blood of betrayal of men and women in love."
Another man in black said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and let's go back and cross. Once this place is activated, it will start in an hour. At that time, gods and immortals will not escape. All humans in it will..."
The former black-clad man seemed to remember something, but he did not say anything anymore.
Soon, the couple's blood was gone and their lives came to an end.
Two corpses fell into the lake "splashed, splashed". The two men in black turned around and flew up as if they were escaping, and quickly left. They disappeared in an instant.
Just a few minutes after they disappeared, they had fallen into the couple's lake before, and the lake began to surge, blood rippled, gradually fading. But a strange color also appeared.
It was gold and silver, gold flashed, silver rippled, and at an amazing speed, it was rendering around, rendering...
...
"Set out." Old Xuan ordered in a deep voice.
After a brief rest, the crowd of Shrek Academy set out immediately and continued to march westward. They had no other choice now.
This big explosion in Mingdu will inevitably end this competition without an ending. The three kingdoms of Douluo Continent and the Yueyue Empire were already tense because this big explosion will inevitably detonate instantly.
Originally, the ** of the Yueyue Empire may not support war very much. But after this time, the direction of the ** can be imagined.
After hearing He Caitou's explanation, Old Xuan's face became even better. Since the loss was not as great as expected, then this action can only be described as perfect.
Because they were worried that high-altitude flight would attract the long-range attack soul guide of the Yuyue Empire, they could only move inside the Xishan Mountain. Shrek and others were quite powerful. They walked forward, crossed mountains and ridges, and soon went deeper into the Xishan Mountain.
But at this moment, a strange atmosphere began to appear.
"This place looks familiar. It seems like we passed by an hour ago." Huo Yuhao had already worn his human-shaped soul guide and stuffed a level 6 bottle into the reserved two sockets. With the support of the soul power of these two bottles, he could save more energy to restore his spirit and soul power when he was moving.
Because there may be unknown problems in Xishan, Huo Yuhao's mental detection has been turned on, and he switches to one-way remote mode from time to time for scanning to find possible problems.
He found nothing along the way, but he felt something was getting worse and worse.
Huo Yuhao couldn't explain why he felt this way, but he was just sure that something wrong must have happened. Until this moment, the wrong feeling seemed to begin to ferment.
"Stop." Xuan Laopiao came to Huo Yuhao. He was still very confident about Huo Yuhao's mental power. "Are you saying that we are back again? Is there a maze in this western mountain or something? With our ability to judge the direction, this kind of problem should not occur!"
While speaking, Old Xuan looked up at the stars in the night sky. Gaming stars at night has always been a good way to distinguish directions.
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "Old Xuan, I can be sure. We must have been here. Because I had done a one-way scan here just now. Some of the plants around me still have my spiritual marks. This is definitely not wrong."
Old Xuan's face suddenly became calm. He was a super Douluo of level 98, extremely close to the ultimate Douluo. He didn't even feel anything was wrong, but everyone was going around in circles, so this was a bit serious.
"What do you think you should do?" Old Xuan asked Huo Yuhao in a deep voice.
Huo Yuhao said: "It's too dark now. I have tried to detect it, but the farther the place, the less clear it feels. I can only feel the general landform, but I can't directly make subtle observations through my mental power. Should we rest first and wait for dawn? It's not far from dawn now."
Old Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then wait for dawn. Everyone should rest on the spot. Everyone gathers together. Don't separate. Lexuan, arrange the order of vigil. Those who are resting should hurry up and enter meditation."
Zhang Lexuan immediately made arrangements. As the senior sister of the inner courtyard and one of the members of the Sea God Pavilion, she was very effective in arranging these things. In a short while, a small camp was already unfolding in a higher terrain. Including the martial god Douluo Xianliner, several titled Douluo were sitting on the edge of the camp to rest and protect everyone.
This time, there were five titled Douluo who came with Lao Xuan. Including Lao Xuan, four of them were all super Douluo's strength. But there were also many people who wanted to protect them. The Tang Sect had the most people, such as Beibei, Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Jianma Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Nan Qiuqiu, Nana. There was another person who joined the team before Huo Yuhao and his friends' action last night, that was the tall building with the list carving knife. Huo Yuhao only used some rare metals to completely pull the self-taught soul tutor over.
In addition to the Tang Sect, there are also people participating in the competition in Shrek Academy. Wang Qiuer, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue. In addition to the senior sister Zhang Lexuan, there are also many people.
The most important task of the six titled Douluo is to protect their twenty or so people to return safely.
Looking at the mysterious and mysterious appearances of the Tang Sect, Dai Huabin and others from Shrek Academy were all confused. The terrifying explosion just now also shocked them for a moment. Seeing Lao Xuan alone asking the people of the Tang Sect to discuss the meaning, is that the explosion actually related to them?
The Tang Sect members naturally gathered together. After a night of struggle, Huo Yuhao was the one who was the most tired. He almost immediately entered a meditation state, and his fatigue made his face look a little ugly under the fire.
