Chapter 235: The Altar Becomes Cloudy
After the one-eyed serpent was defeated and died, the divinity of death rebelled and devoured the blood of the spirit. Seeing that the power of the Death Divine Essence was growing step by step, the situation of the Qinghong Sword turning the blade against the master was about to appear, and Fang Xing fell into a helpless situation.
At this time, there was also a mutation in the distant savage prairie.
In front of the loess altar, the high priest of the Vulture Ancestor stood alone in the cold wind. After many days, the gray color on his face became more and more obvious, and it was obvious that the disappearance of the Vulture Ancestor had tormented his soul. Not only was the blood decaying terribly, but the originally straight waist was also hunched down, like a dying little old man. Only the light that flashed in his eyes from time to time and the persistent aura condensed in his body still showed the world his powerful power.
The grand blood sacrifice on the loess altar has been going on for dozens of days. Burdened by blood sacrifices, a tribe that was originally thriving by the loess altar has become a ghost market; Herds of cattle and sheep are gone; Among the 10,000 tents, the population gradually thinned, and many of the residents in the tents were also captured as blood sacrifices, and most of the rest were scared away.
Slaughtered about 100,000 cattle, horses, livestock and a large number of slaves and prisoners of war, the eight-zhang high loess altar, seven zhang below the peak, has been completely infected with blood and turned into a deep black.
There were countless layers of blood clouds in the sky, completely obscuring the sky; The earth was covered in shadows cast by the blood clouds, and the light was extraordinarily dim, like a ghost. Within a radius of more than ten miles near the altar, a strong smell of blood could be smelled; The terrible ghost howl lingered in my ears for a long time, and the frightened pedestrians were hurried and hurried.
A powerful tribe with a population of nearly 100,000 people is completely finished, and even if the human population can grow again in the future, but many days of brutal slaughter and blood sacrifices have destroyed the foundation of this tribe's existence.
The High Priest of the Vulture Ancestor was unmoved by the scene that took place before him, seeing his people suffering. For him: as long as he can get the response of the Vulture Ancestor, all the sacrifices are worth it - let alone destroying a big tribe, it doesn't matter if he kills everyone in the world, as long as the Vulture Ancestor can come back!
Unfortunately, to this day, the Vulture Ancestor still has no response to him - even if the High Priest offers the greatest blood sacrifice ever, there is not the slightest response from the Vulture Ancestor. After all kinds of attempts to contact the Vulture Ancestor failed, even the most fanatical believers had a trace of doubt in their hearts - maybe the Vulture Ancestor was really dead!
The high priest knew that he didn't have to look with his eyes closed, but now there were sneaky eyes all around. These days, among the countless believers before the Vulture Ancestor, he may be the only one who has not given up his efforts.
Right now, he was closing his eyes, silently feeling the change in his breath on the loess altar.
After a large amount of blood sacrifices, the loess altar was already filled with a large amount of spirit and blood. In the past, these spirits and blood were honestly entrenched in the altar. However, today, these spirit blood qi were a little restless, as if there was a source in the distance calling for these spirit blood qi.
"Is it the Ancestor calling these spirits and blood?" In addition to the high priest's surprise, he also had a hunch: today may be the moment to see the Vulture Ancestor return to the clouds.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and the high priest, who had been interrupted from his train of thought, looked at him angrily. I happened to see the leader of the Yutu tribe, Wei Tu Hao, leading a group of armor soldiers to press hundreds of captives towards the loess altar. The noise was coming from the struggling and crying captives.
Seeing that it was Wei Tuxuan, the high priest's angry anger suddenly dissipated, and only a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The Yutu tribe is ambitious, and under his command, the Weitu tribe is as greedy as a tengu that devours the moon. These days, with the connivance of the High Priest, he has been attacking nearby tribes in the name of 'crusading against the tribes that do not respect the ancestors of the Vultures and offering sacrifices for the blood sacrifices'.
So far, he has defeated and annexed several large tribes in the vicinity, and in addition to providing a large number of sacrifices to the loess altar, the strength of the Weitu tribe is also growing rapidly.
After the Vulture Ancestor disappeared, the tribal balance under his command suffered a serious collapse for the first time. The High Priest was keenly aware of the burning ambitions behind his pious face, but there was nothing he could do to stop themβat least, not yet.
In order to do his best to bring back the Vulture Ancestor, he could only sit back and watch as Yu Tu Yu attacked other tribes in the name of the Vulture Ancestor, taking the opportunity to expand his strength. However, drinking to quench his thirst does not mean that he is not wary of Wei Tuxuan.
While thinking about the movement of the spirit and blood, the high priest secretly said: "As long as the ancestor can return safely and soundly, then all the turmoil will be stabilized again, and it will once again return to the prestige of the ancestor." β
In his opinion, compared to the major event of the Vulture Ancestor's disappearance, the ambition of the Wei Tu tribe was as trivial as a trivial matter - as long as the Vulture Ancestor could come back, it was not even a matter!
With this forbearance, the high priest's grim expression vanished. In just an instant, he turned into an old man like a candle in the wind.
"High Priest!" Even if his power has multiplied, Wei Tu Yu still does not change his previous respect in front of the high priest. As soon as he came up, he bowed cautiously.
"There's a new sacrifice?" The High Priest glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the captive behind Wei Tuxuan. These people are all physically strong, full of blood and qi, and they are very good blood sacrifices.
Wei Tu Hao replied, "Yes, these people are the elite warriors of the Bicha tribe. Under the leadership of traitors who did not believe in the ancestor, they rebelled against the majesty of the ancestor. I took them all and offered them to my ancestors as a sacrifice of blood. β
The high priest knew about this tribe, and the Biqia tribe was also under the control of the vulture ancestor and often worshipped. Now it seems that this tribe has been swallowed up by the Weitu tribe, and has gone from being a loyal believer in the past to a victim of blood sacrifice today.
The high priest was both aware of this and had no interest in it. He just glanced at it casually, and after finding the mark of the Biqia tribe on these captives, he said casually: "Pull it up and sacrifice it to the ancestor." β
"Yes!" Wei Tu replied, waved his hand, and was about to order his armor soldiers to escort the captives to the altar for blood sacrifice. There was another commotion in the distance, and one of the men's voices was the loudest, and the noise reached the ears of the high priest and the lieutenant Tu Hao.
When the high priest heard this, his brows furrowed, and he could tell that it was the voice of the second priest, Ebony Tai.
Umutai has always been disgusted with the ambitious Wei Tu Luxury. Ever since Wei Tu Hao attacked and destroyed the Beihu tribe, Wu Mutai has become a political enemy of Wei Tu Hao, often saying bad things about Wei Tu Hao in the ears of the high priest, and he also has a lot of complaints about the blood sacrifice.
A few days ago, he complained about the decay of the tribe and the balance of the situation caused by the blood sacrifice, and was sent away by the high priest. I came here today because of the fact that the Biqia tribe was annexed by the Weitu tribe.
Sure enough, the second priest Wu Mutai rushed to the loess altar, and after hurriedly giving a salute to the high priest, he immediately began to accuse Wei Tu Hao of attacking the Biqia tribe.
For the sake of the smooth progress of the blood sacrifice, in the face of the accusations of the second sacrifice, the high priest still chose to shield Wei Tu Hao, "Wu Mutai, don't say it, I allowed Wei Tu Hao to attack the Biqia tribe." β
When the thin Wu Mutai heard that the high priest had once again shielded Wei Tu Hao, his eyes couldn't help but open with anger, and his heart was extremely hateful. But in the face of the high priest, Ji Wei dared not speak angrily, so he had to hiss: "High priest, do you hear the cry of the earth? Do you hear the wailing of cows, sheep and horses? One tribe after another was annexed, one pasture after another was abandoned, and then we connived at Wei Tu extravagance, and before the ancestor returned, we would bring about our own destruction! β
'It's the same old tune again! The high priest was not very troubled, he was so obsessed with the mutation of the spirit and blood that he wanted to sacrifice blood again, and he had no intention of attacking each other with two men.
So, he directly ordered Wu Mu Tai to say: "Shut up, Wu Mu Tai!" Say no more. I have made up my mind, until the ancestor returns, the blood sacrifice will not stop. Now you give me a chance to go back to the station, and I am not allowed to come back without my orders!" β
Wu Mutai seemed to be desperate when he heard this, he raised the white bone staff in his hand and said suddenly: "I don't care, I will kill Wei Tu Hao if I say anything today, open his heart and liver, and see his wolf ambitions." After finishing speaking, the white bone staff drew a miserable white light and shot straight towards Yu Tu Hao.
The spirit blood on the loess altar was extremely strong, and even the divine consciousness of the high priest was contained in the body, so as not to alarm the turmoil of the spirit and blood. Therefore, Ebonytai's surprise attack was very unexpected.
Wei Tu was in a hurry, and it was true that his tribe was powerful, but when it came to personal cultivation, he was definitely not the opponent of Wu Mutai, who was the second sacrifice. In the face of Ebony's surprise attack, he shouted at the High Priest for help and dodged behind the High Priest, as if trying to escape behind the High Priest to avoid Ebonytai's attack.
Hearing the tribal leader's loud cry for help, the armor soldiers brought by Yu Tuyu also drew their swords and stepped forward one after another, wanting to protect the leader. The movements of nearly a hundred guards and armor guards were also chaotic with a group of prisoners, and the side of the loess altar was suddenly in chaos.
The high priest didn't expect Umutai to dare to act so boldly in front of him, and the anger that had been gathered in recent days suddenly rose, and he said angrily: "Umutai, you are so bold, you dare to do it in front of me and the ancestor altar......
He knew that Yu Tu Hao was definitely not Wu Mu Tai's opponent, and while trying to protect Yu Tu Hao behind him, he reached out to intercept Wu Mu Tai's white bone staff. Unexpectedly, the miserable white light turned by the white bone staff, after turning a corner, shot towards him instead.
Ebony Tai's white bone staff is a leg bone of the ancient fierce beast Han Di, plus a murder weapon refined by the death qi of ten thousand people, which is very powerful and fierce. Since Umutai used this murder weapon against the high priest, it means that there is no advance or retreat, and he is determined to rebel.
What an old and spicy character the high priest is, he immediately understood: It's not good, Ebony Tai killed the captain and slaughtered luxury, and the anti-self is the truth! Immediately shouted angrily: "Ebony Tai! You are guilty of rebellion, you are looking for death! β
He's so angry! Ebony dared to make a move on him, although it was a little unexpected, but it was not unacceptable. However, if Ebony Tai's rebellion caused the spirit and blood to change and delay the return of the Vulture Ancestor, then death would not be forgiven!
At this time, if you commit chaos, there is only one way to die! The high priest put away the restraint and struck again, which was a killing move without shrinking. He's going to go all out, and he's going to do it quickly!
Although Ebony Tai is stronger than Wei Tu, he is definitely not an opponent of the High Priest. The high priest was furious, and was about to beat Emutai into a wasted man, and then torture him carefully, but suddenly there was a chill from behind him, and a sharp blade suddenly added to his body.
The high priest was surprised, there was only one person behind him, was it? ββThe divine sense swept through the body, and the person behind him who was holding a sharp blade and wanted to attack him was not Wei Tuxuan!
"Wei Tu luxury! Are you also the opposite? The high priest was more astonished than afraid. It's just a sharp blade, and he's not afraid. He was annoyed that today's events were so coincidental - Wei Tuyu came, and Umutai also came; Wei Tu Xuan reversed, and Ebony Tai also reversed; These two people can cooperate so seamlessly, they must have colluded together a long time ago, and the quarrel just now was just two people acting.
These two powerful figures whose status is only below him must have a big conspiracy behind them that is not good for him and the Vulture Ancestor.
