Lieshan Ember didn't know how he spent the dinner party, and the ups and downs tonight made him a little numb, and when he returned to the room, Hong Jun called out, "Father?"

He woke up in shock, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”

"Then you rest early. Hong Jun nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait," Burning Mountain Ember suddenly stopped Hong Jun, his mind suddenly cleared up again, and said, "I'm going to go to the temple again to visit the High Priest." ”

"High Priest?" Hong Jun asked.

"Yes, now only the High Priest can save our Shaoyan Ministry. Burning Mountain Ember became more and more sure of his thoughts, he didn't have a relationship with the high priest as outsiders thought, he hadn't even said a word to the high priest before tonight, and he didn't know why the high priest spoke for Shao Yan on the king's good night.

Yet, for whatever reason, it was always right for him to go and ask the high priest now.

After saying that, Lieshan Ember hurried out again.

However, Lieshan Ember soon returned, looking very disappointed, it turned out that the high priest refused to see him, and Hong Jun didn't know how to persuade him. In fact, he is not very worried about the Shaoyan Ministry, the high priest of the temple is the spiritual symbol of the Lieshan clan, since he spoke in public, warning the king and everyone not to attack the Shaoyan Ministry, especially to himself, then at least on the bright side, the Shaoyan Department is still safe, as long as the high priest is alive, the Shaoyan Department will be fine.

If someone secretly attacked him, Hong Jun was confident that unless Lie Shanchi personally stepped in, he would not want to get a favor from him.

However, the development of the Shaoyan Department will indeed be greatly affected, and it is obvious that the attitude of the Haodian Department is obvious, and in the blink of an eye, Lieshan Shuo's enthusiasm has dropped again, and he has not said a few words at the dinner.

In Hong Jun's opinion, it is not wrong for his father to have ambitions for the position of the king of the Burning Mountain, but the mistake is to take the wrong path!

The Lieshan clan advocates the strong, the weak eat the strong, Lieshan Ember should aim at the goal, focus on cultivation, and wait for Lieshan to participate in the competition for the throne after Lieshan Chi died, with his father in his thirties to practice the third level of the Great Wilderness Burning Body, the chance of successfully reaching the top is very great.

Once he ascends to the throne, his father will have the support of the temple, and the tens of thousands of elite temple warriors will obey him, are you afraid that you will not be able to develop the Shaoyan Division?

Even if you fail to compete for the throne in the future, you still have yourself, and you can make a move when the time is right.

"Put the cart before the horse......" Hong Jun sighed secretly, planning to find a chance to talk to his father.

In the early morning of the next day, another drum woke up Hong Jun, and as soon as he went out, he saw Lieshan Ember hurriedly coming and said, "Hong Jun, go to the temple to gather, the blood sacrifice is about to begin." ”

Hong Jun didn't say a word, and rode on the Kui clouded leopard to the temple. When he climbed the steps into the square, he found that most of them had already arrived.

Dozens of temple priests sat around the high platform and recited prayers aloud, the high priest closed his eyes in the inner circle, chanted words in his mouth, and sometimes got up and danced a simple dance, as if convulsive, but no one dared to laugh, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

At this moment, a roar came from the bottom of the steps, and the temple warriors dragged one after another into the square with birds and beasts of prey in the wilderness, among them were tigers and leopards, mountain bears, rhinoceros, pythons, Hong Jun only recognized a few of them, most of which he had not seen. The bodies of these beasts were huge, weighing thousands of pounds, and they were locked in thick chains, and their mouths were constantly roaring, and each of them required five or six temple warriors to work together to drag them.

Hong Jun's heart moved, and he said secretly: "It's exactly three hundred and sixty, which is the same as the number of stone pillars here." ”

Sure enough, the temple warriors locked the beasts to the stone pillars, immobilizing them, and for a moment, the roars in the square continued one after another.

Unaffected by the roar, the temple priests were still performing the ritual, and an hour later, the high priest suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light shot out from his cloudy pupils, and shouted, "Blood sacrifice prey." ”

The temple warriors, who had been prepared for a long time, swung their knives and slit the throats of the three hundred and sixty fierce beasts, and suddenly, a large amount of blood gushed out, staining the square a blood-red color. At the sound of the beast's struggle, their blood seeped into the stone pillar, and gradually, the stone pillar seemed to come to life, sucking their flesh and blood away quickly, leaving a hollow skin.

And the stone pillar is only dyed a little red, and the color is very light.

"Come again!"

The high priest shouted expressionlessly.

Another three hundred and sixty beasts were tied to the stone pillar, and the blood sprayed wildly with their knives in their hands, and the color of the stone pillar became darker.

"Go on!"

The High Priest commanded.

Three hundred and sixty were still guillotined, waves of beasts were bled out, and the whole square was filled with blood, but those stone pillars were like bottomless pits, slowly dyed red bit by bit.

Hong Jun looked at the bloody scene in front of him with some shock, when the tenth round of fierce beasts was sacrificed by blood, the stone pillar finally underwent some changes, and there was a slight shock, and a faint red light emanated from the pillar.

The high priest's face that had not changed all year round showed a hint of joy, and he said to Hong Jun and the others: "Go, the clansmen who climb to the top of the Burning Mountain and reach the altar first will receive the greatest blessing from the gods." ”

A hundred young warriors who won the sinkhole yesterday scrambled to run first, but Hong Jun was not in a hurry, and followed the crowd unhurriedly, quietly paying attention to the stone pillar that glowed red. However, no matter how much he observed, when he ran away from the square, he couldn't tell what the stone pillar was.

Looking back, the High Priest was still giving orders, and the temple warriors sent batch after batch of beasts to the altar.

Without thinking about it anymore, Hong Jun exerted his strength and climbed upward.

With Hong Jun's speed, he soon surpassed all his competitors and left them far behind.

The mountain is as high as it reaches into the sky, and it is a huge volcano, the mountain is hot, the slope is small near the foot of the mountain, and there are some paths carved out by the tribesmen. After a thousand feet, there was no road, the slope was high and steep, Hong Jun used his hands and feet together, bypassed some dangerous cliffs, and climbed up as fast as he could.

Half a day later, Hong Jun had already reached the mountainside, and the others were still far away, at least a thousand zhang away from him recently.

The higher it went, the higher the temperature became, Hong Jun gasped lightly, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

He took a deep breath and coughed quickly, almost choking, the air here was full of sulfur smell, and there was a lot of smoke, and it became a little difficult to breathe.

An hour later, Hong Jun was less than two thousand zhang away from the top of the mountain, and there was no longer Lieshan City in sight here, and the victors of the other Heavenly God Ceremony were nowhere to be seen.

"Rest for a while, it's not in a hurry anyway. ”

Hong Jun stopped on a cliff and was about to find a place to sit down, when suddenly his body turned to the right, and with a fishing left hand, there was an extra thick arrow in his hand.

"Who is there?" Hong Jun shouted, looking in the direction where the arrow was fired, and several figures appeared on the hillside a hundred paces away. The first man was armed with a longbow and a quiver, and it was from his hand that the arrows were shot. In addition to him, there were three other people, who were condescending from the top of the mountain.

Hong Jun's palm holding the arrow was stinging with a hot pain, reminding him that the strength of the arrow was extremely great, and the strength of the person who shot the arrow was on par with himself, at least a master of the Triple Realm.

At this time, Hong Jun didn't have time to think about who was going to kill him, his pupils contracted for a while, and he saw that three more arrows were shooting. The speed of the three arrows was extremely fast, almost at the same time, and the angle was extremely tricky, blocking Hong Jun's retreat, trying to force him to the edge of the cliff.

With a choking sound, the long knife that Hong Jun carried all the year round was unsheathed, the knife flashed, and the long knife clicked three times in front of him, and shot down the three arrows with great skill. The force of the arrow caused him to take three small steps back, and he was only a few inches away from stepping into the air.

"Good knife technique!" a big man of the Lieshan Clan shouted and rushed up the cliff, his weapon was a spear, and he stabbed at Hong Jun with a spear in his mouth.

Hong Jun had no way to retreat, he raised his knife and swung the spear away, and the power from the knife made him know that this person was also a master of the triple realm. His gaze swept over the other two, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, sending two Triple Realm and two Triple Realm masters to assassinate him at once, except for the Great King, he couldn't think of anyone else who could have such a big deal.

Before the thought fell, the spearhead of the opponent's spear suddenly turned, stabbing from the side, Hong Jun didn't think about it, he stepped forward, the long knife slashed on the spear again, and the blade rotated rapidly, cutting the opponent's hands along the spear body. Unexpectedly, the big man directly let go and threw the spear away, punching Naoshima Hongjun's façade.

If there were only two people fighting to the death, Dahan would never throw away his weapon so easily, but he had helpers to help, completely ignoring defense, in order to surprise Hong Jun and seize the opportunity for a moment.

Sure enough, as he expected, an arrow came just right, pointing directly at Hong Jun's throat, and Hong Jun seemed to pause, as if he was startled by his move to give up his weapon.

Seeing that a punch was about to hit Hong Jun and blow his head out, the big man showed ecstasy in his eyes, but he saw Hong Jun's left hand raised, and an arrow shot away, hitting the arrow that struck the arrow impartially, and then the knife flashed, his hands fell silently from his wrists, and before he could scream, Hong Jun pierced his heart with a knife, and the tip of the knife penetrated out from behind.

At this time, before the big man's spear landed, Hong Jun raised his foot and knocked it, and the spear turned around and stabbed at a killer chasing behind.

At the same time, Hong Jun used the body of the big man as a shield, and ran forward on the cliff, and in just a dozen steps, two more arrows were hit on the body of the big man.

The two killers, the first one was blocked by the spear, his feet were slow, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Hong Jun smashing the body of the big man over, he roared angrily, and with a wave of the giant axe in his hand, the body of the big man was split in half, and the blood was sprayed, but he didn't see Hong Jun's figure.

"Be careful!" shouted another killer.

"Be careful of what?" Before his thoughts fell, there was a sudden wind behind his ears, and before he could react, his whole head flew up, and for the last time, he seemed to see Hong Jun standing behind a headless corpse with a knife, and then fell into darkness.

With a knife to the head, Hong Jun kept running straight to the last person, who was already frightened, turned around and ran, shouting loudly: "Save me......"

The voice stopped abruptly, and an arrow shot directly into his mouth, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief, he didn't expect to be killed by his own people in the end.

Hong Jun stopped his pursuit and looked up to see that the archers on the top of the slope had disappeared.
