Chapter Ninety-Seven: Self-defeating
Relying on the Sharingan, Sasuke was able to walk around like a dragon even in the crowd, and took Paimon to the front of the crowd.
And seeing Sasuke and them quickly emerging from the crowd, as if they were about to approach the ritual weapon, the Millelith Army in the center of the Jade Kyoto Platform raised his hand to stop Sasuke:
"Fatigue stops!"
"Seven stars, please immortals, if you have nothing to do with them, please stay back and avoid them, and you can't continue to move forward."
The tone was not harsh, but it was resolute.
"Hey, stingy...... Take a look at it without losing a piece of meat. ”
Paimon had just landed on Sasuke's head, looking around with his neck stretched out, looking for hope of making a fortune, when he was stopped and muttered a few words.
Sasuke, on the other hand, saw a back in the center of Tamokyodai.
It's a woman, and just a back can make people feel the breath of a superior person.
"Forget Sasuke, the ceremony hasn't started yet, let's go make a wish first."
She pointed to an incense stand she had glimpsed earlier, and said close to Sasuke's ear.
Sasuke answered, rubbing his ears.
The moist air Paimon brought out as he spoke made his ears itch a little.
He had never had much hope for this kind of wish-making - if the wish was useful, why did he work so hard to cultivate?
However, since Paimon was very active about this kind of ritualistic thing, Sasuke didn't want to ruin her interest, so he led her through the crowd again to the incense platform she was referring to.
There are three or two Liyue people who have made a wish together, and judging by their dress, most of them are the owners of Liyue shops, with graceful manners and gorgeous dresses.
Seeing Sasuke, who was dressed differently from most pedestrians and looked quite handsome, one of the jeweled women looked at him and asked:
"There are even descendants from other countries, do you also want to come here to get some of Liyue's immortal energy?"
Sasuke hesitated, but nodded yes.
"Haha, you know very well, if you make a wish on this day, the emperor and the immortals will bless you."
"I've made a wish, let it be given to you here."
Before leaving, the woman enthusiastically gave Sasuke six unlit sticks of incense, one of which was for Paimon.
Seeing that he had a share, Paimon thanked the woman in surprise.
"I hope you enjoy Liyue."
Seeing the woman leave, Sasuke, under Paimon's guidance, lit his and Paimon's incense with fire.
With the movements of Sasuke and Paimon, the Ding furnace on the incense platform also glowed.
It's still shining?
Could it be that the gods here can really hear their own wishes?
Sasuke was a little stunned.
Under Paimon's influence, he still unconsciously recited his wish during the worship - to know the truth about the destruction of the Uchiha clan.
There is a high probability that the wish to make a wish in another world in this world will not work, right?
After making a wish, Paimon looked at Sasuke and asked with a smile:
"Sasuke, what is your wish?"
"I hope I can really know the truth about what happened to our family back then."
Sasuke replied.
Well, that's a little heavy.
Paimon paused, patted his chest, and said:
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Fortunately, I made a wish in the hope that Sasuke could fulfill his wish safely."
"Hee-hee, Sasuke, your wish will definitely come true!"
"Alright, now that we've made a wish, let's wait here for the ceremony to begin."
"I wonder how long it will take to prepare?"
……
As time passed, there were more and more crowds around him, and even with the blessing of the Sharingan, Sasuke felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to move in this crowded crowd, but in the end, he finally got to the front of the crowd.
The three outer floors of the Yujing Terrace were all crowded, and the voices were noisy, and even if Paimon was lying in Sasuke's ear, it was difficult to hear each other's words without raising the volume slightly.
Sasuke also understood at this moment why he had met many locals who were reluctant to come to the Immortal Ceremony, if he hadn't been flexible enough and came to the front row, otherwise standing in the back could only see the head of the person in front of him, which was really meaningless.
I don't know how long it took, but the woman who was standing in the middle of the room turned around and faced the crowd, her hands pressed together.
In the midst of the conversations of the people around him, Sasuke knew that this woman, who seemed to have the aura of a superior person, was none other than the Celestial Power Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Ningguang.
"The auspicious time has come."
As she drank softly, all the noisy sounds around her disappeared at this moment, and everyone looked towards Ningguang's location.
I saw her hands raised, and several maids beside her saluted and retreated to make room for her.
Several amber gems appeared out of thin air, swirling rapidly around her body, bringing out golden afterimages.
After the gem swirled around her for a few weeks, she brought one hand to her chest, and to Sasuke, the other man's posture was a bit like a one-handed knot unsealed.
In the ninja world, the seal is primarily used to concentrate, and now it seems to have something in common with the spells in the population of Teyvat Liyue.
With the change of Ningguang's gestures, the gems around her body flew into the magic weapon in the center of the Yujing Terrace, and with the entry of the gem, the magic weapon shone brightly, and a dazzling golden light broke through the top of the magic weapon, broke through the clouds, and reached the heavenly court.
Visions of heaven and earth.
"Is this the Immortal Ceremony? It's spectacular! ”
Paimon was completely captivated by the sight in front of him and let out a heartfelt amazement.
But in the next moment, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the golden light that had been overhead was shrouded in a huge layer of clouds.
What's going on?
Sasuke subconsciously opened the writing wheel eye, catching the panic that flashed on Ningguang's face.
Something went wrong with the ceremony?
The crowd also began to riot and talk about it.
"What's going on? Wasn't that the same at last year's ceremony? ”
"Yes, yes, the clouds are thick, it's a bad omen......"
"Shhh, don't crow's mouth, there is an emperor, how can there be any bad omen! Believe in the emperor. ”
"Bah, baba, children's words, children's words, believe in the emperor, believe in the emperor......"
“……”
Paimon also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, and shrank his head and pressed close to Sasuke.
Suddenly, a giant object fell rapidly from the sky.
"Be careful!"
With the fall of the giant, the crowd rioted and retreated.
The sudden flow of such a huge crowd directly caused a riot, and some onlookers who did not support their center of gravity were directly pushed and fell to the ground, causing a stampede.
And although Sasuke has the blessing of elemental power and the strength of his own physical arts, he will not be coerced by the crowd, but in the panic, Paimon is brought into the flow of people.
Although she could fly, she was also in the middle of the crowd because of her panic, and she couldn't use her strength, so she could only watch herself get closer and closer to the ground.
The crowd around him was getting out of control, and Paimon was overwhelmed by the crowd.
"Sasuke...... Help me! ”
Without thinking too much, Sasuke opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, unfurled the dragon wings, skimmed over the heads of the crowd, and locked on to Paimon's position with the Sharingan, snatching her out of the crowd before she was trampled by the crowd, and then flew to a relatively empty position outside the crowd.
It's just that after he landed, he felt that something was wrong.
When I turned to look, I found that the crowd that was originally rioting was strangely stagnant, and most of them were looking at themselves.
What's going on?
Sasuke frowned and looked towards the place where the giant had fallen.
The body of a large, dark golden dragon-like creature lay there, and Ningguang was carefully inspecting it.
Then the other man stood up, turned around, and stared straight at him.
"Millelith, take order."
"The emperor was killed, and the whole venue was blocked."
