The timely return of the Holy Maiden Dai'er made the patriarch who was willing to compete for the position of patriarch sigh, losing this rare opportunity, and it would be extremely difficult to let the patriarch take the initiative to step down in the future.
"Got trouble on the road?" The Gu clan patriarch opened his eyes and asked with a light smile.
Dale nodded and told everything that had happened these days.
"So, the holy jade is on you now?" A clan elder said in a slightly excited tone.
The other clan elders, including the patriarch, all moved their eyes to Dai'er.
Dai Er didn't reply, but took out the holy jade that Shen Cheng had given her.
"Okay, good, the return of the holy jade coincides with the worship of the holy scriptures, it seems that God bless my Gu clan!"
"With the protection of the Holy Jade, I will definitely be able to make my Gu clan people prosperous."
"Hehe, this time I was able to retrieve the holy jade, and the saint was indispensable."
The faces of the surrounding clan elders were full of joy and praised one after another.
However, the patriarch of the Gu clan glanced at the holy jade in Dai'er's hand, and asked with a smile, "Dai'er, you said this was given to you by Shen Cheng?" ā
"Hmm." Dale opened her eyes and nodded.
"Well, it's okay that he hasn't forgotten that he is half a Gu clan." The patriarch smiled slightly, then looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and his face suddenly became solemn: "When the hour comes, the worship ceremony begins." ā
When the words fell, a clansman next to the altar couldn't help but shout: "Shang Gaoxiang!" ā
Soon, two clansmen walked up to the patriarch with a wooden plate.
The patriarch took the incense pillar from the wooden plate, inserted it into the furnace in front of the altar, and lit it with a torch, and a burst of smoke and incense filled the air.
Then another set of elaborate rituals took more than half an hour to reach the final step of the worship ceremony.
This step was originally to use the blood of the Holy Maiden to stimulate the blood dragon wooden box placed on the altar in order to find the location of the holy jade, but now that the holy jade has been found, it is only necessary to put the holy jade into the blood dragon wooden box, and then open the altar array and lock it.
"Dai'er, since you brought back the holy jade, then this last step is up to you." The patriarch said with a smile.
Dai Er did not hesitate, and slowly walked to the altar with the holy jade in both hands.
The other Gu clan people watched this scene with burning eyes.
However, just as Dai'er put the holy jade into the blood dragon wooden box, a clansman suddenly rushed to the altar, shook Dai'er back with one palm, and then grabbed the blood dragon wooden box and wanted to turn around and flee.
Seeing this, the surrounding clan elders changed their faces one after another.
"Stay for me!" The patriarch of the Gu clan was the first to react, snorted coldly, raised the cane in his hand and slammed it on the altar.
Suddenly, the strange texture on the edge of the altar flickered, and then a blue-black aura suddenly appeared, trapping the clansman who was about to escape on the altar.
However, the clansman did not show a panicked look on his face, but quickly took out a green bug from his body and threw it towards the center of the air shield.
As soon as the green bug touched the air shield, it turned into a cloud of green mist.
Zizi ......
In the blink of an eye, the green mist corroded the hood through a hole and spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hmph, Your Excellency is the elder of the Blood Gu Sect, since you have made a move, what are you doing with your head and tail!" The Gu Clan Patriarch snorted coldly, and the cane in his hand inspired a black chain, firmly locking the clansman's arm.
"Haha, I've heard for a long time that the patriarch of the Gu clan is extremely good at defending against witchcraft, and now it seems that it really deserves its reputation!" The clansman laughed and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a wrinkled face.
The Gu Clan Patriarch's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "It turned out to be Elder Qin of the Blood Gu Sect, what's the matter?" Your Blood Lord sent you to die this time? ā
Elder Qin's smile stiffened, and his arm shook violently, breaking the chains that were wrapped around it, and at the same time, four or five green worms were spilled and smashed into the air cover.
Zizi ...... Zizi
Bursts of green mist completely corroded the hood.
"The holy jade will be protected by my Blood Gu Gate, and it will be indefinite!" Elder Qin didn't have the slightest affection, he shouted with a sneer, and rushed out of the altar.
"How can my Gu clan come as soon as you want, and leave as soon as you want?" The patriarch who wanted to compete for the patriarch was also very strong, and raised his hand and hit Elder Qin's leg out of thin air with a witchcraft.
Qin Mu stumbled and fell to the ground, but he reacted extremely quickly, and he got up from the ground again after turning over, and then grabbed a Gu clan member next to him and threw it towards the clan elder behind him.
The old clan propped up his palm and put the clansman on the ground steadily.
Seeing that Qin Mu was about to successfully escape, the Gu clan patriarch shook his eyebrows, directly threw the crutches in his hand, and quickly pinched a few seals with both hands.
The crutches shot out a burst of black gas in the air, turning into several black chains, locking Qin Mu's legs together.
Elder Qin's eyelids jumped, and his palm gripped the chain fiercely, violently, but the black chain was as hard as steel, and he couldn't break free even if he tried all kinds of means.
The other clan elders came back to their senses and jumped over one after another, surrounding Qin Mu.
The Gu Clan Patriarch stepped forward quickly and stared at Elder Qin coldly, "Put down the Blood Dragon Wooden Box, otherwise you won't want to get out of the Gu Clan alive for a few days." ā
Qin Mu pursed his lips, glanced around, and said indifferently: "Since I made a move today, I don't plan to go back alive!" With that, he raised his hand and made a gesture to destroy the blood dragon wooden box.
"Tsk, Elder Qin, don't you know that with the Holy Jade, the Blood Dragon Wooden Box is indestructible?" A clan elder sneered disdainfully.
The other clan elders sneered, and there was no trace of worry on their faces.
Only the Gu Clan Patriarch stared at Qin Mu with a solemn expression, but he knew that the holy jade in the Blood Dragon Wooden Box was fake.
"Qin Mu, as long as you put down the Blood Dragon Wooden Box, I can promise to let you leave the Gu Clan safe and sound." The Gu Clan Patriarch said in a deep voice.
"Patriarch, no!"
"You must not let go of the people of the Blood Gu Sect, they are the mortal enemies of our Gu Clan!"
"Yes, yes, you can't let him just leave!"
The surrounding clan elders shouted one after another.
"What? Don't my words work? The Gu clan patriarch knocked on the crutch in his hand and said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the surrounding clan elders couldn't help but close their mouths.
Qin Mu looked at the Gu clan patriarch in front of him, not knowing whether the other party's promise counted or not, so he couldn't help but be a little hesitant in his heart. In fact, after seeing the appearance of the holy jade, he canceled the plan to destroy the blood dragon wooden box, but temporarily he changed his attention and wanted to snatch all the blood dragon wooden box and the holy jade, after all, once he could escape, the blood lord would have to give him this great credit.
However, he never expected that the Gu Clan Patriarch's methods would be so powerful, and he had practiced the Chain Trapping Technique to the fullest.
"Okay, I'll admit it today, I hope you can keep your promise, patriarch." Qin Mu gritted his teeth, but still chose to give up, compared to his own life, everything else was insignificant.
The Gu clan patriarch couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and said to the elders of the clan who surrounded Qin Mu: "Let him go!" ā
Several clan elders gritted their teeth and glared at Qin Mu unwillingly, only then did they get out of the way.
"Truly, Qin Mu, you are really getting older and more timid!" At this moment, a sinister laughter came out, and then the blood dragon wooden box in Qin Mu's hand was snatched by a shadow.
"Sneaky, get out of here!" The Gu clan patriarch let out a low snort, and when he raised his hand, a black chain hit a shadow not far away.
The shadows twisted, and a low-stated middle-aged man appeared with a confused expression.
