Chapter 324: The Sacrificial Ceremony
In the lower district, on the edge of the Elulin neighborhood, in a large warehouse on the west side of Waste Alley, an evil sacrificial ritual is underway.
More than thirty naked men and women, head down, legs together, and hands spread out in the shape of a cross, were fastened to the cross.
The reverse cross represents the abyss of hell.
The naked men and women who hung upside down on the cross had a slash in the throat, and there were blood grooves on the ground beneath them. The blood in their bodies had been drained at this time, and all the blood had gathered from the blood trough into the pool on the side.
Around the perimeter of the pool of blood, thirteen men shrouded in robes stood still, their hands sometimes raised and sometimes down, their expressions completely hidden under their hoods, and their voices reverberated around the altar of the entire ritual, hoarse, like a demon's whispering incantation.
The pool of blood was tumbling, and a white air mass was pulled out of the pool of blood and sealed into the black jar placed around it.
The ritual lasted for several hours, and did not stop until the blood in the entire pool had turned pus and yellow, and no more fresh soul energy had been withdrawn.
Thirteen robed men retreated from the perimeter of the altar. One of them, dressed in a red robe, was clearly of the highest status.
In the Dark Order, the red robe represents a very high status, and only the so-called 'bishops' are qualified to wear it. In the entire Deep Dark Order, there are only nine bishops, and all of them are elemental powerhouses.
The other twelve people who followed the bishop of the Dark Order for the ritual were all dressed in yellow robes.
The yellow robe, in the Deep Dark Order, represents the rank of 'high priest', second only to the status of the bishop.
When the ceremony was over, the red-robed bishop was about to leave, and next to him came a yellow-robed high priest with two bloody human heads in his hands.
"Bishop Dou Lin, just now we found three peepers on the periphery, who looked like the group of traitors from the Secret Service, only two people were left, and one ran away."
The red-robed bishop named Dou Lin turned around, he was a short man, and his grade was about fifty or so in terms of physiognomy, but his real age was unknown. His expression was gloomy, and he looked fierce and vicious when he squinted his eyes.
"High Priest Wang Haoqing, I'm very disappointed in you, can't you even do this little thing?" Dou Lin was very dissatisfied, "Could it be that next time you want to preside over the sacrificial ceremony and let me guard the door?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Wang Haoqing, who was dressed in a yellow robe, looked very frightened, "The main one who ran away...... I was so sharp, I didn't pay attention, so I ......"
"That's it!" Dou Lin didn't want to listen to it anymore, "I don't want this to happen again next time." ”
Wang Haoqing was stunned, next time?
Seeing that Bishop Dou Lin turned around and wanted to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Lord Bishop...... We've been found, shouldn't we evacuate? ”
Dou Lin shook his head and said, "No, I can't leave for the time being." The ritual has reached a critical point, and there is still one last batch of high-quality sacrifices sent by KSS, which is just enough for us to suppress enough Soul Suppression Altar. If we don't meet the deadline here, it will affect the next steps of the Order. ”
"But ......," Wang Haoqing said, "this is not in line with our usual habits, and in the case of being discovered, it is very likely that the enemy will attack......"
"Then let them come, just have some more sacrifices." Dou Lin turned around and left, without looking back.
……
On the same day, Wilde visited Levy's home.
The first sentence to get straight to the point: "We have found an important stronghold of the Deep Dark Order in the Lower Lower District of Elulin, and they are supposed to be performing some very important evil ritual.
Levi had been looking for the Dark Order for a long time, and this time there was finally definite news.
However, as much as he wanted to kill the Dark Order, as a demon hunter, the most basic qualities were still there.
"Where is the source?" he asked. What about credibility? What about the enemy's specific intelligence? ”
Wilde explained with all his heart: "The news came from the Restoration Volunteer Association. The specific goals of the Deep Dark Order have not yet been clarified, but they should be important. Because in that stronghold, more than five cult members of the high priesthood level were discovered. The Restoration Volunteer Society has decided to strike at it and has invited our brotherhood. Jane will bring the Zhiwen and Zhiwu brothers to participate in this operation at that time. Jane asked me to ask you if you wanted to be part of the operation. ”
After a long period of intelligence gathering, Levi now has a certain understanding of the Deep Dark Order. The rank of the high priest is not low in the Divine Order. Although the Deep Dark Order does not seem to be completely arranging positions based on strength, there is no weak person who can wear yellow robes and be able to take the title of high priest.
The yellow-robed high priest of the Deep Dark Order, in the history of records, the weakest will also have the combat power level of the fifth chain, and the strong will even have the strength to be able to rank at the top of the combat power list.
At present, the eighth place on the list of combat power in the Kingdom Intelligence Manual, that is, the person who is one place ahead of Levi, is called Bei Luo, and he is one of the yellow-robed high priests of the Deep Dark Order. In addition to Beiluo, there are two other people in the Deep Dark Sect who have been listed on the combat power list, and all of them are yellow-robed high priests.
Five, or even more than five, yellow-robed high priests, this can indeed be regarded as an important stronghold of the Order. Due to the Dark Order's usual way of doing things, they will soon move their stronghold when they are discovered. This is also the reason why the Restoration Volunteer Association chooses to start as soon as possible, let them run, and the next time they want to catch it, they don't know when.
Li Wei quickly calculated in his heart, Jane's strength is not weak, although her reputation is not obvious, and she has not seen it on the combat power list, but with the strength of the sixth chain, she can definitely rank in the top fifty; The two brothers Zhiwen and Zhiwu are both masters of the fifth chain, although they are very ordinary individually, but the combined attack skills of the two are definitely not weak.
Counting yourself, this is the team when you assassinated President Xue of the Xuezhi Group before.
In addition, as the main leader of this operation, the Volunteer Association will inevitably send a fairly strong team.
In this way, if you deal with five, or even seven or eight yellow-robed high priests, it should not be a big problem.
However, Levi was still a little uneasy: "Determine that there is no element-level powerhouse among the targets?" ”
Wilde shook his head and said, "Not sure, but probably not." Otherwise, it is impossible for anyone from the exploration team of the Restoration Volunteer Association to come back alive. ”
