501 Sacrifice
In the center of the Nanxia Imperial Palace, there is an extremely high dark red volcano, and at the highest point is a huge altar, with a sense of solemnity and majesty, and the surrounding space is extremely hot, and even the stones are flickering and dark, as if they are about to burn.
Around the altar, thousands of people stood with varying expressions, including excitement, suspicion, and anger...... But no one spoke, and they did not dare to make a sound.
In the center, there were hundreds of people, all wearing the same dark red robes, covered with a kind of arcane rune, led by one person in front, chanting ancient incantations in unison, making people sound numb and fearful.
Judging from the pious expressions of many people around, these people should be members of the Witch God Sect, and the leader is naturally Lord Wuluo.
However, not far from the people of the Witch God Sect, there were still a few figures, which were incompatible with the surrounding environment, and they didn't seem to be people here, but they were standing in the center, not moving, and seemed to control everything here.
Thundered......
As the witch cultists continued to chant incantations, the surrounding volcanoes shook, spewing out scorching speeches that cracked in the air.
"Lord Wuluo, it's time to start, right?" said one of the figures.
Wu Luo nodded and said loudly: "Open the altar!"
As his words fell, the magma in the surrounding volcano suddenly poured down like a waterfall, flowing along the lines on the altar, and in an instant, waves of scorching air surged into the sky, and the hundreds of stone pillars around the altar also flashed red, forming countless flame inscriptions.
At the same time, the temperature above the altar also rose, and the air was filled with a bloody smell.
Crash......
The chains slammed against the volcanic stones, making a screeching sound, and then the firelight reflected on the inscriptions, revealing many figures.
They were all tied to stone pillars, almost **, their skin was red, and their bodies were covered with many hideous wounds, which looked extremely terrifying.
After they appeared, many of the people around the altar were sad, gritting their teeth and not making a sound, there were a few people who screamed in low voices, and from their voices, it could be heard that these people who were tied up turned out to be people from the Southern Xia royal family.
"Tell me quickly, where is the Gu Ghost Fire? "The witch cult continues to torture those people with all kinds of torture.
But these royal family members who used to be pampered are extremely tenacious at the moment, and none of them have spoken.
"If you don't say it, do you think I can't do anything about you?"
Wu Luo sneered, stretched out his palm, and sacrificed dozens of fingertips-sized red-winged beetles, fluttering and flying, looking very inconspicuous.
But when those people in the royal family saw it, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and their eyes showed a look of extreme fear.
The beetle flew out and landed directly on the chests of some people, and even opened its mouth, bit directly into the flesh, and got in.
Ahh......hhh
After a terrible scream, the beetles wriggled beneath their skin, looking terrifying, and after a few moments, the beetles were completely inside their bodies.
"Under my heart-splitting Gu, you can't say it if you want to......"
Wu Luo smiled proudly, but before the words fell, he suddenly saw that the few royal family people who had been hit by the Heart-Piercing Gu suddenly turned their skin hot and red, and they burned with a bang, and the flesh and blood of their bodies instantly turned into ashes and dissipated.
"Phew...... a royal elder said coldly, "Wu Luo, do you think this method of yours will be useful to us?"
"It seems that you have already prepared for the burning of jade?"
Wu Luo sneered: "It's not so easy to die like this. “
He waved his hand again, and a burst of light shone on the bodies of several of the royal elders, and with a terrible cry of pain, the flesh and blood of several elders were melted away, revealing the white bones of the forest.
But they didn't die, their souls were imprisoned in their heads, and it was clear that they couldn't even kill themselves after they were deprived of flesh.
"If you don't say it, you're forcing me to use another method. “
Wu Luo kept waving his handprints, and countless Gu worms flew out, and those royal family members in the field turned into white bones one after another, although the magma on the stone pillar behind them pounced and swept them in.
Crashing......
In the center of the altar, cracks opened in the rocks, and scorching waves of air rushed out of the sky, and below was a vast sea of magma.
"I've searched the palace, but I haven't found any trace of Gu Ghostfire, if my guess is correct, it should be in the belly of this volcano, right?"
Wu Luo looked around, caught everyone's expressions, and then smiled: "It seems that it is right." “
"Don't you all have the spark of Gu Ghost Fire in your body, then let you sacrifice the fire with your body and draw out the Gu Ghost Fire!"
At this time, the royal family finally couldn't help it and scolded.
"Wu Luo, if you betray the Southern Xia Empire, the Gu God will rain down flames, making you suffer for eternity and eternity. ”
"Haha, come with me for this ......"
Wu Luoli ignored them, constantly controlling their bodies with strange Gu worms, and then guiding the magma to sweep them away and throw them directly into the belly of the volcano.
The flames were rolling, and the sea of magma made a low sound from time to time, as if a violent and terrifying force lurked in it.
"Okay, I have used the Evil Wind Gu to control the souls of these people, and when they are completely refined by the magma, the fire in their bodies will merge and channel the real Gu Ghost Fire out, and then we will strike together to subdue this flame. ”
At this moment, Wu Luo turned his head and said to the figures who had never moved, with a hint of respect on his face.
"Well done, the Southern Xia Empire will be our friend in the future. One of them said lightly, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
For a moment, the vast altar fell silent, only the flames that burst out from time to time burst into the sky, and a huge blazing wave erupted.
Bang bang bang......
A majestic explosion sound came from the belly of the volcano, Wu Luo protected his body with a spirit, looked down, in the red light full of eyes, he saw a little bit of dazzling flames slowly condensed, the flames were extremely strange, where they passed, even the waves of magma were instantly burned to ashes, and the space was almost distorted.
"Gu Ghost Fire?"
But as soon as his words fell, the strange flame suddenly disappeared from sight, as if it had never appeared.
"It seems that the soul and strength of these people in the royal family are not enough, and some truly strong people need to sacrifice them. ”
"Bring people in. Wu Luo said to the left and right.
After those Gu God Sect members received the order, they walked over from the edge of the altar with more than a dozen figures and pushed them to the center. These figures all looked depressed, obviously they had all been subjected to an evil Gu in their bodies, suppressing their cultivation, but the fluctuations between their eyebrows still revealed the demeanor of a strong man.
"You are Wu Luo of the Southern Xia Kingdom?" one of those figures suddenly raised his head and asked in a cold tone.
"Hehe, worthy of being a person from Lu Yuanmen's court, he has become a prisoner, and he is still so arrogant?" Wu Luo sneered, and with a flick of his fingers, countless Gu worms suddenly wriggled under the person's skin, devouring his flesh and blood frantically, making him close his mouth for a moment, and tremble in pain.
This person showed his face, and it was Lu Heng who had been defeated by Ning Bufan on the ice field before!
"Wu Luo ......" Even so, Lu Heng still held back and said viciously: "I don't care what you did to the Southern Xia Imperial Family, but do you think that if you control the Southern Xia Empire, you will be able to compete with our Izumo Kingdom? If my family knows what you have done, I can directly send an army of 100,000 to crush your small empire to pieces." ”
What he said was not alarmist, the prestige of the army under the command of Lu Yuanmenting was well known to everyone in some empires within thousands of miles nearby.
"You not only arrested me, but also arrested this guy Yi Tianxing, could it be that you really want to start a war with our Izumo Empire?"
Lu Heng glanced at it, and actually saw Yi Tianxing behind him, he was extremely surprised, he couldn't understand how the Southern Xia Kingdom was thousands of miles away, how did he suddenly come to the Izumo Cave Heaven and attack them?
Although in the imperial capital, the two clans have been fighting openly and secretly, but now they are plotted together, but there is a faint hatred of the same enemy.
His voice fell, and Wu Luo's face remained as usual, as if he didn't care at all.
However, the surrounding Southern Xia nobles, the lords of the major forces have changed their expressions greatly, they can't fight the Witch Gu God Cult, they can only surrender, but this is just to save their lives, if they really completely offend the Izumo Empire, then even if the Southern Xia Kingdom uses the strength of the country, I am afraid it is not an opponent.
"Lu Heng, Yi Tianxing, when will you be able to represent the Izumo Empire?"
At this time, the few figures standing not far away finally turned around and revealed their true faces.
"Mo Zhan, is that you?"
