The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Gen, in the middle of the main hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wen Cangsheng frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at the three people sitting below: Fang Wenshan, Fang Wenhai, and Wen Xiucao.

"There are only ten hours left before the sacrifice, and we still lack one person, everyone, what is the best plan?"

The second elder of the Fang clan had been keeping his head down, and his face was also sad, for this year's sacrifice, they had started refining their souls a year ago, and finally refined eighty-five soul gatherers.

These eighty-five soul gatherers have almost exhausted the souls they have raised, and besides, the proportion of soul gatherers in this sacrifice is already very high.

Even if they were able to refine another Soul Gatherer in the last few hours, it would not be appropriate to use it again, because once they were detected by the Soul Clan, it would bring ruin to the Gen Kingdom.

Now, although it is only a quota, it is already a great headache for the Gen Kingdom, and sacrifices are made every year, even if the soul gatherers are not considered, nearly twenty people are sacrificed every year.

These are twenty living beings, all of them are their compatriots, and even... their loved ones.

Wen Cangsheng can definitely be called an enlightened king, and the people who sacrifice it every year are openly solicited, and a huge amount of spirit stone compensation will be given to his family.

The people recruited are all on a voluntary basis, of course, there is no absolute voluntariness in the matter of sending lives, so almost all those who sign up are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they know that their lives are short.

It is precisely because of this that there is a lot of dissatisfaction on the part of the Soul Clan, but given that Gen Guo's attitude is quite loyal, they have not investigated it deeply.

However, there is only one city left in the kingdom of Gen, and the total number of citizens does not exceed 100,000, and the sacrifices are made every year, but how can there be so many old and weak, sick and disabled?

As a result, later there was the alchemy of the second elder of the Fang family, and every year, the proportion of soul gatherers became larger and larger, and the proportion of living people became smaller and smaller.

From the initial twenty soul gatherers at a time, to the later thirty, forty, fifty... Until this year, eighty-five soul gatherers were involved.

Even so, there is still a shortage of places, Wen Cangsheng, the second elder of the Fang family, Wen Xiucao, Wen Xiuxuan, the five of them looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but there is no good way.

"Or... Let the children go..."

Looking at everyone's anxious expressions, Wen Xiucao stood up, bowed to Wen Cangsheng, and said in a deep voice.

"You're confused!!"

Wen Cangsheng's eyes burst with light, and with a wave of his hand full of reproach, he waved Wen Xiucao back to his seat, and the second elder of the Fang clan and Wen Xiuxuan also looked at Wen Xiuxiao.

Wen Xiuxuan's eyes were full of blame, she glared at Wen Xiuxuan, and thought:

"I really don't know when this stupid brother will stop being so stupid..."

At this time, a guard hurriedly ran in, and after entering the main hall, he knelt down on one knee at Wen Cangsheng and reported in a loud voice:

"See the king and the two national teachers, report to the king, and the demons ask to see."

"What's the matter with him?"

Wen Cangsheng muttered softly, Wen Xiuxuan and the second elder of the Fang family also lowered their heads and pondered, Wen Xiuxuan's face still had a trace of disdain, and she inadvertently glanced at the direction outside the door.

"Invite him in."

Wen Cangsheng waved his sleeves at the guards and said loudly.

"Yes!"

The guard stood up and ran out quickly, and after a while, Luan Tian's figure appeared at the door of the main hall.

He strode into the main hall, stood still in the center of the main hall, and then, clenched his fists at the people above, and said:

"King Wen, the two national teachers, can you let me participate in the sacrifice as well."

"What?! You're going to participate in the sacrifice?? ”

A hint of surprise first appeared on Wen Cangsheng's face, but then, in a flash, he immediately realized that although this could solve the urgent needs of Gen Guo, it was extremely inappropriate.

The human demon is not a citizen of Gen State, no matter what purpose he does to participate in the sacrifice, it will make Gen State owe him a big favor, this favor, Gen Country cannot afford it, and he can't afford to pay it back.

"Your kindness, Wen Mou's heart understands, however, this is the internal affairs of my Gen country, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"King Wen, I think you may have misunderstood, I'm here for myself..."

"For yourself? Just for a few pieces of sky-breaking iron, do you want to die? Are you stupid?!!! ”

Wen Cangsheng's voice was very stern, his eyes stared at Luan Tian, Luan Tian was naturally not stupid, he didn't know how many times he had weighed it in his heart in the past few hours.

said that he was going for Tiantie, that's right, Luan Tian didn't want to go home empty-handed this time, but more importantly, it was to complete his Dao heart.

At this point, when he designed to let Xiaoli phantom, pretend to be himself to deceive Gongsun Yan, and get out by himself, he had already made up his mind.

If you want to find the Vajra beetle, it is the best opportunity to mingle in the sacrificial crowd, and the so-called road is uneven, and when you encounter such a thing, Luan Tian can't stand by and watch.

Sitting on the sidelines is not in line with his character, and if this is the case, his Dao mind will not be able to pass, and this will become a karmic obstacle for his future practice.

Luan Tian had already seen that Wen Cangsheng's harshness on the surface was also for his own sake, he didn't want to take the life of an outsider and let Gen Guo and himself bear the debt of human affection.

"Senior King Wen, you are also a monk, do you really not understand the cause and effect?"

"I'm going here to make up for the difference in the quota for the Gen Kingdom, however, it is this quota that gives me the opportunity to enter the Wind Capital City and find the Heavenly Railway, we... Mutual benefit and mutual fulfillment. ”

"This... Isn't it good? ”

Luan Tian's words were extremely calm, and in the process of speaking, he kept looking at Wen Cangsheng's eyes calmly, and his expression was always indifferent.

When Luan Tian finished saying this, the eyes of everyone present changed to varying degrees, and Wen Cangsheng's eyes became calm.

There was a hint of approval in the eyes of the second elder of the Fang family, Wen Xiucao lowered his head to listen, and when he looked up, he looked at Luan Tian with admiration in his eyes.

And the biggest change in this is Wen Xiuxuan, since she saw Luan Tian, Wen Xiuxuan has been a little hostile to him, and at this time, she looked at him again, and the feelings in her eyes became complicated.

There are surprises in it, as well as admiration, of course, there are also some puzzles, she feels that she really can't see through it, this person called a human demon.

This man's way of acting is a bit ruffian, and at the same time obsessive and terrifying, he seems to be willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

However, behind this indomitable choice, there is a sense of detachment, he does not want to owe others, and he does not want others to feel indebted to him.

In any case, the participation of the human demon in the sacrifice this time was indeed a great favor to the Gen Kingdom, but he said that he was going to die so lightly.

This is the first time she has met such a man, or such a person.
