In the following month, waves of Lieshan people from all parts of the Great Wilderness came to gather at the foot of Lieshan Mountain, and Lieshan City became more and more lively, and the originally sparse city actually seemed a little crowded.

In his spare time, Hong Jun also went out for a few walks, but his appearance was really out of place compared to the clansmen, and there would be people pointing at him wherever he went.

During this period, Hong Jun went to the Haodian Department again, met with the young handsome people selected by the Haodian Department, and learned from Lieshan Rong that they should obey Hong Jun's arrangement during the decisive battle of the Great Canon, and they were all extremely unconvinced, but a few of them participated in the siege that day, and knew that Hong Jun was powerful, so he hurriedly pulled the clansmen and explained to them in a low voice.

Listening to the awe-inspiring gazes of the young soldiers of the Haodian Department, Hong Jun smiled meaninglessly, thinking that this would save him some hands and feet, his original plan was very simple, if he was not convinced, then he would be beaten again!

Soon, a month and a half passed, and the Celestial Ceremony began.

Early that morning, as the first rays of sunlight rose over the eastern horizon, a rumbling drum was heard in the direction of the temple......

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The sound of drums, one after another, kept echoing, and quickly spread throughout the entire Lieshan City, and all the Lieshan people were already prepared, they walked out of the door, and paid homage in the direction of the temple.

Hong Jun looked up, only to see from a distance that the square of the temple had already been heavily guarded, and the thousands of steps were full of rows of temple warriors, in the center of the square, a three-zhang high platform was erected between those magical stone pillars, and there was a huge leather drum standing on the platform, the diameter of the drum surface was more than one zhang, the drum skin was red like blood, and a sturdy giant man nearly eight feet tall stood in front of the drum, bare-chested, and struggled to beat the big drum.

This is the tallest clansman Hong Jun has ever seen, and the drumsticks in his hands are also very peculiar, as if they are made of the leg bones of some kind of huge beast, and every time they hit the drum surface, they make an earth-shattering sound.

Bang......

The sound of the drum seemed to have a strange magical power, resounding through the sky and penetrating into the hearts of the people, evoking the primitive call hidden in the lives of the people of the Lieshan Clan, as if an invisible impulse wave vibrated and spread in all directions, and even the endless burning clouds in the sky paused for a moment.

Such a strange scene made Hong Jun hold his breath and watch intently.

The drum kept ringing, and the strong man was already sweating profusely, and after one hundred and eight consecutive drum beats, the drum finally stopped, and the big man gasped hard, as if he had collapsed, and was helplessly supported by someone to leave the square.

An old man in a gorgeous fur walked out of the temple, ascended to the high platform, and chanted a prayer in a loud voice, even at the level of Hong Jun, he could only barely listen to it, which was nothing more than a praise for the great deeds of the gods, while the others were confused, basically could not understand what the high priest of the temple was reading, but his face was a fanatical, reverent kneeling to worship.

This greeting was read for half an hour, and finally, the high priest of the temple announced, "The ceremony begins!"

The whole city of Lieshan fell into a carnival at once, and every household lit a bonfire, roasted food, drank spirits, danced and sang by the fire, and the scene was very hilarious. Those tribes who came from afar were also prepared, and each took out the food and wine they brought, and found a random open space and began to celebrate.

The square in front of the temple was even more open all night, and the brazier on the top of the 360 stone pillars burned more fiercely than usual, and the fire was shining to the sky, and the bottom of the stone pillars was full of sacrifices/offerings to the gods, and the priests took turns to recite blessings and prayers on the high platform for twelve hours a day, day and night.

The carnival lasted for three days.

At noon on the first day, Lieshan Rong came and whispered a few words to his father, Lieshan Ash, and Lieshan Ash's face suddenly showed joy and a relaxed expression, as if the boulder on his shoulders had finally been put down. Hong Jun watched from the sidelines, knowing that the matter of the Qinglin Ministry's complaint against the Shaoyan Department in the temple had been suppressed, and the Haodian Department had fulfilled its promise, and it was up to him next.

On the third day, the noise of Lieshan City was lowered, and at noon, a large number of clansmen rushed to the west outside Lieshan City, more than 100 miles to the west, where there was a huge sinkhole, which was the dueling ground of the young warriors in the previous Heavenly God Ceremony.

When Hong Jun arrived, there were already a large number of clansmen watching around the sinkhole, and he took a closer look and was shocked.

This sinkhole is 100 zhang deep, nearly five miles in diameter, irregular round like a cauldron, the inner wall of the sinkhole is straight and steep, there is no grass in it, and there is a large area of flat ground at the bottom, enough to stand tens of thousands of people.

"This is supposed to be a crater!"

Hong Jun couldn't help but look up at the sky, guessing that a huge meteorite fell from the sky not long ago, smashing such a huge sinkhole on the ground. While estimating how much a meteorite would smash out of such a large sinkhole, and thinking of the wonders of this world, Hong Jun was not sure if this sinkhole was smashed out of a meteorite.

Moments later, three hundred temple warriors galloped on horse-like mounts with long red horns behind their ears, hence the name Redhorn. They are red, tall and strong, with excellent endurance, especially on the plains, and are more suitable for large-scale combat than the clouded leopard, which can only be possessed by the elite warriors of the five major tribes.

More than 300 red-horned knights marched in formation, surrounding a Lieshan clan in the middle, looking from afar, quite majestic.

"It's the king who has arrived. Ember whispered.

The procession soon reached the edge of the sinkhole, and the surrounding clansmen saluted and shouted, "Meet the king." ”

Hong Jun was not far away, and when he saw the sturdy man about sixty years old in the guard's protection, he looked majestic and nodded to the clansmen around him, which was regarded as a return salute. Hong Jun observed this king of the Burning Mountain in the crowd, but unfortunately the distance was still not close enough to see carefully, he only felt that this person's strength was unfathomable, and he was definitely stronger than the Burning Mountain Shuo of the Haodian clan.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the king of the Burning Mountain, and his Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra may have been practiced to the fifth level. Hong Jun secretly speculated, and only then did he notice that there were several people around the king, and their strength was also extremely strong, but they were covered by the king's light, and they were not so eye-catching.

There is an acquaintance among these people, that is Lieshan Shuo of the Haodian Department, and there are three other people, their status seems to be on par with Lieshan Shuo, and they should be the other three chiefs of the five tribes.

"The Commanders of the Clan, the Fire Wind Sect, the Red Bear Clan, the Courtyard Clan, the Haodian Clan, and the rulers of the five major tribes have all arrived. Lieshan Ember spoke in a low voice, but his eyes kept looking over there, and after a while, he seemed to see some clues, and said with some schadenfreude: "Haodian Department has really been squeezed out, Lieshan Shuo has stood for a long time and hasn't said a word, hehe......"

Hong Jun was about to speak, but he saw Lie Shan Shuo's gaze looking over here, swept over him, and nodded faintly.

"Uh......" Lieshan Ember naturally saw it too, and couldn't help but pause.

According to the news from the Haodian Department, the number of young warriors participating in the Heavenly God Ceremony this time was slightly less than in the past, many tribes were too far away to come, and some tribes knew that their strength was insufficient, so they simply gave up the opportunity, adding up to less than eight thousand people in total, of which a small half came from the five major tribes.

Coming out of 8,000 to be the last 100 victors is a huge difficulty. If there was no accident of Hong Jun, the Haodian Department would probably return empty-handed again this year, and the vast majority of the places would be divided by the four major tribes, and the pressure on Lieshan Shuo could be imagined, and the expectation in his eyes made Lieshan Ash's heart sink.

"Hong Jun, are you okay?" Lieshan Ember couldn't help but ask.

Hong Jun was a little strange, but he still replied: "Of course." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Lieshan Ember nodded, knowing that he couldn't put too much pressure on Hong Jun. He didn't dare to imagine that if Hong Jun failed, the Shaoyan Department would suffer such terrible retaliation from the Haodian Department.

At this time, a drum sounded, and everyone knew that the duel was about to begin.

Hong Jun already knew the process of the duel, nodded to his father and the others, and strode towards the entrance of the sinkhole. The inner wall of the sinkhole was steep and could not be walked, and the Lieshan clan dug a barely accessible path on the east side of the slightly smaller slope, and Hong Jun led the young warriors of the Shaoyan Department to focus on the path at the entrance, and soon found the people of the Haodian Department and joined them.

Along the sloping path, more than eight thousand young warriors entered the sinkhole.

Walking to the bottom of the sinkhole, looking up, I felt that I had entered a huge pit, the sky became a circle, and the high walls were full of countless Lieshan people watching the battle, and the noisy shouts echoed in the sinkhole, which made the more than 8,000 young warriors feel very surprised.

Hong Jun observed the surroundings, the bottom of the sinkhole was very wide, even if there were more than 8,000 people standing in it, it still seemed empty, he kept in mind the warriors of the two clans he wanted to protect, let them form a formation and stand up, and then looked at the opponent not far away, his brows furrowed slightly.

Everyone knows that in a duel you must fight in a group, and the warriors of each tribe are gathered in one place, and there are also some small tribes that join forces to form larger battle groups, and of course the most eye-catching are the young warriors of the five tribes.

I have to say that the strength of the young warriors of the five major tribes is superior to that of the warriors of the other tribes, and almost everyone in the most elite part has trained the Great Wilderness Burning Body to a heavy realm, Hong Jun took a look and recognized the people of the other four tribes, like standing out from the crowd, extremely conspicuous.

The position of the four major tribes is very particular, vaguely surrounding the Haodian Department in the middle, obviously this time the Heavenly God Ceremony they want to repeat the previous plan, first destroy the Haodian Department, and then divide the remaining places.
