Chapter 1292 The Ceremony Stopped
The eyes of the formation suddenly floated, and the old man felt that something was wrong, so he immediately used 70% of his strength to bombard it.
However, the formation eyes suspended in the air are like illusions, and they cannot be attacked at all.
The old man frowned for a moment, then turned and left.
The magic circle has been activated, and it is meaningless to stay here. Killing the person who presides over the ceremony is the key to breaking the situation.
With the activation of the magic circle, the vibration on the ground became stronger and stronger. The people in the square who were in a trance suddenly woke up, and then panicked at the epicenter.
The vibration lasted for a while and stopped. Just when everyone thought it was just a small earthquake and felt relieved, all of the long tables where they had eaten before suddenly lit up.
At this time, if someone looked down from the sky, they would be able to find that the rings of bright table circles on the ground and the bonfire used for lighting formed a rather mysterious pattern.
After the table circle was flooded with light, people were shrouded in the light. Their minds, which had been awakened by the earthquake, fell into a trance again at this moment, as if in a daze.
On the high platform, the former senior member of the Glory Sect stood on a table in the center, raised his hands and muttered prayers.
Seeing that it was Chen Fang, not the intended target, who rescued the hostages, the sect leaders realized that his plan had been disrupted.
This made him very angry, but the agreed time was almost up. If the sacrificial ceremony was not started, the success of the sect would be in vain.
Fortunately, I am well prepared. In addition to the first plan, there is also a backup plan to deal with emergencies.
Therefore, when it was determined that Chen Fang was not the target of the plan, the sect's senior officials did not hesitate to activate the backup plan.
As soon as the sect's high-level prayers were uttered, the nobles of Daji City who were originally seated on the same floor stood up from their seats one after another, with numb expressions and empty eyes, as if they had been manipulated. They picked up the table knife on the table in front of them, He stabbed into his chest without hesitation.
Hot blood flowed out and gathered on the floor, and under the control of the strange force, a blood-colored magic circle was drawn.
When the magic circle was completed, the blood radiated into the sky, and a swirl of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. The hole in the middle was constantly expanding, and there were vaguely white and golden blurred images on the opposite side.
At the same time, a blue light appeared from the demented city dwellers in the table circle under the high platform, and this blue light was slowly attracted to the blood-colored magic circle on the second floor of the high platform.
As the blue light continued to penetrate into the magic circle, the blood-colored beam of light soaring into the sky continued to grow larger, and at the same time, the hole in the center of the dark cloud vortex continued to expand.
The Lord of Daji raised his head and looked excitedly at the ever-expanding vortex in the sky. Inside it was the Kingdom of God that would come in the future, which was the place he longed for.
"Great, it's finally the day I've been waiting for."
The mayor was very excited.
However, looking at him, his face suddenly changed, darkened and ugly.
"No, why haven't the cities in other directions responded so far?"
According to the original plan, when the agreed time came, the other six cities centered on Daji City would conduct the sacrificial ceremony together.
And in the form of one main and six auxiliary, small formations and large formations, a huge sacrificial formation was made.
Then, by sacrificing millions of lives, the magic circle covering all areas of the seven cities was activated, and the Kingdom of God was brought to this land.
But the planned things and the agreed time were completed here in Daji City, but the other six cities did not follow, which is too abnormal.
"Did something happen to those six cities?"
"The city lord betrayed?"
"Impossible, they are all devout believers just like me, and it is absolutely impossible for them to betray."
"But why?"
The city lord was at a loss, but an extremely bad premonition arose in his heart.
And the high-ranking sect who was presiding over the ceremony at this time was also shocked and angry.
He also noticed that other cities didn't go according to plan, and he felt bad.
"Damn it, what happened? Why didn't they perform the sacrificial ceremony? Didn't you send someone to contact you before?" the sect senior shouted angrily at the city lord.
The city lord said anxiously: "Yes, I sent someone to notify the day before yesterday, and it stands to reason that they must have received the specific time for our ceremony."
"Then why didn't they hold the ceremony now." The sect senior asked.
How the hell do I know this.
The city lord shouted in his heart, but he didn't dare to be irritable on the surface.
"I do not know either."
The high-level sect carefully looked at the city lord, but seeing that he didn't know that he looked dazed, he could only blacken himself.
"What should we do now, stop the ceremony and come back after we have a clear question?" the city lord asked.
The higher-ups of the sect twisted their noses angrily, "You think the sacrificial ceremony is the same as Liangjing, you can turn it on if you want, and turn it off if you want to."
"Once the ceremony starts, it cannot be interrupted. I can't control it."
The city lord's face turned bitter, "What can we do, but if we don't stop and continue the ceremony, at most a small part of the Kingdom of God will come over, and it will still be torn from the complete Kingdom of God. Enraged, we can't eat and walk away."
The high-ranking members of the sect naturally knew what would happen if they continued the ceremony.
When the Kingdom of God in the Northern Territory was established, the layout of the entire country was carefully designed. It was a huge magic circle, with temples and temples as nodes and streets as veins, forming a seamless whole.
But if because of the failure of the sacrificial ceremony on his side, only a part of it was pulled over, causing the Kingdom of God to tear apart and the magic circle collapsed, the consequences would be disastrous.
But he also wants to stop, but after the ceremony starts, it will not be diverted by his will, stop as soon as he lets it go, and now it is hard to get off, unless...
The ceremony can only be interrupted unless he, the person who presided over the ceremony, dies, but can he say that?
High sect leaders will never say anything.
He is not great enough to sacrifice himself for the kingdom of God.
"What to do, what to do, if the Kingdom of God is destroyed and the sect is held accountable, we will definitely die."
The city lord was flustered for a while, looked up bitterly at the sect seniors who were still in the ceremony and asked, "Is there really no way to stop the ceremony?"
Yes, but I can't tell you.
The top sect thought secretly.
The city lord saw that the sect's senior officials were silent and should not respond, so he stepped down.
"I don't want to die, I still want to accept the blessing of the gods and become the king above all living beings."
The city lord frantically grabbed his hair and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Shouting and shouting, the city lord suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at the high-ranking sect with red eyes, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "You said that if you kill you, will the ceremony stop?"
The expressions of the senior leaders of the sect changed drastically, but they quickly calmed down, pretending to be calm and said with a blank face: "You think too much, killing me will not stop the ceremony. I said that the ceremony cannot be stopped once it starts."
The city lord looked deeply at the faces of the sect's senior officials, and suddenly laughed after a while.
"Don't lie to me. If it's useless to kill you, it shouldn't be this expressionless reaction."
"Whether you react or not, I don't know what you're talking about. If you think it's useful to kill me, come and do it."
The sect's top leaders insisted on their mouths, trying to cover up their true thoughts by using advances as retreats.
However, the mayor was unmoved.
Once a person is in a desperate situation and has a glimmer of hope, he will hold on to his ideas and his will will be extremely firm. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he will win it.
Therefore, the city lord has made up his mind, and he has murderous intentions against the top leaders of the sect.
With a ferocious and crazy expression on his face, the city lord grabbed a knife on the table beside him and walked towards the senior sect standing on the table performing the ceremony.
"You are crazy. You actually want to kill me. Do you know that doing so is equivalent to betraying the sect? Do you know what kind of punishment you will face?"
The high-level sect sternly yelled at the city lord.
"hehe."
However, the city lord just sneered as if he had fallen into a demon, and the pair of red crazy eyes stared at the high-level sect.
As the city lord approached, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the sect's senior leaders, and they began to change their strategies to speak good words and dissuade them, but the city lord did not listen to him at all.
Seeing that the good words were exhausted, the city lord remained indifferent and still wanted to kill himself. The high-ranking sect yelled angrily: "Wei Longxiang, stop if you don't want to die. Don't think that I can't do anything to you if I can't move in the middle of the ceremony. Blessed by God, even if you kill me, you won’t be able to survive, don’t think I’m lying to you, just give it a try if you have the guts.”
The city lord stopped after hearing these words.
He wants to kill the other party because he wants to stop the ceremony and wants to live, but if the price of killing the other party is that he also dies, then he will not do it at all.
But can you believe what the other party says?
The mayor was very tangled.
If the other party is lying, then it is fine. If the other party is telling the truth, then if he kills the other party, he will die himself.
So it's a gamble.
In the end, the city lord didn't dare to bet, even if he felt that only three points were credible to the words of the high-level sect, he didn't dare to bet the remaining seven points.
"Damn, damn, damn..."
The city lord anxiously threw away the knife in his hand, roared on the spot for a while, cast a bitter glance at the sect seniors on the table, then turned and left.
He wants to leave here before the ceremony is completed, at least until the shredded pieces of the Kingdom of God come, and he must not stay in Daji City, otherwise, when the part of the Kingdom of God that was pulled over comes, the people who follow will definitely Angrily tearing him apart because the ceremony failed and the Kingdom of God was damaged.
The city lord doesn't want to die, so the only thing he can do now is to go to the city lord's mansion to pack up his belongings and leave here, and find a place to hide so that the sect can't find him.
Because after the ceremony failed, the sect would definitely be furious, and those who carried out the plan would definitely die.
The city lord left in a hurry, and the senior sect leaders who watched him leave heaved a sigh of relief.
But even though he solved the murder in front of him, he still had to face a dead end next.
"It doesn't matter, let's continue the ceremony first, and when the fragments of the Kingdom of God are pulled to the ground and can move, let it fall freely and break into pieces, so that even if the people inside survive, they will be seriously injured, and then I will have time to escape."
The higher-ups of the sect planned viciously.
People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, for their own sake, they don't care about others.
After thinking about the countermeasures, the top leaders of the sect focused their attention on the ceremony.
But at this time, the city lord who turned around and got off the high platform met the people from the Red Moon Circus and members of some sects who had gathered together.
Seeing these people, the city lord's eyes lit up, walked over, and said proudly: "You are not needed here, follow me."
The city lord planned to lure these werewolves away and take them on the road to serve as his guards.
Although the believers didn't know why, they walked obediently to the city lord.
But the people from the Red Moon Circus did not move immediately, but turned their attention to Langhong, waiting for her to make a decision.
"City Master, didn't you say that we have to guard here before the ceremony is over?" Langhong asked strangely when he came out.
Although he was anxious about why Chen Fang failed to prevent the initiation of the ceremony as agreed, but since it had already started, he had no choice but to accept it and continue to perform his duties.
The city lord said impatiently: "Why do you ask so many questions? Don't you know who you are? Just be an obedient dog to me."
The extremely insulting language and tone made Langhong and her team members all angry, but they couldn't attack.
"yes."
Lang Hong endured it, and gritted her teeth aggrievedly in response.
Then, under the leadership of the city lord, he walked out of the square.
And not long after they left, the old man climbed up to the high platform and saw the senior sect leaders who were concentrating on the ceremony.
"Who are you, what are you doing here, if you don't want to die, go down quickly."
Sensing someone, the senior sect turned to look at the old man and shouted loudly.
The old man had no expression on his face, and walked towards the high-level sect. When he came to the opponent, he waved the weapon in his hand and slashed at him without saying a word.
"Stop it for me... ah."
Before the sect's senior officials could finish their words, they were split in half by the old man.
As the person presiding over the ceremony died, the sacrificial circle began to collapse. First, the bloody circle on the high platform collapsed bit by bit. , From the inside to the outside, the originally bright table dimmed.
When all the table rings lost their light, the dark cloud vortex in the sky also began to shrink, and finally disappeared.
The night sky returned to its original appearance, but the originally noisy banquet was silent.
Seventy percent of the citizens of Daji City, whose vitality was deprived of their vitality by the scarlet magic circle, fell into weakness and fell into a coma. Due to the loss of vitality, their bodies showed different degrees of aging. Twenty-year-olds looked like forty-year-olds, and forty-year-olds looked like An old man in his sixties.
As for the remaining three adults, most of them were weak and sick, old people, and children whose vitality hadn't grown enough. These people were directly drained of their vitality by the bloody magic circle, and died on the spot.
In short, although the sacrificial ceremony stopped, it also caused irreversible damage. In the future, the citizens of Daji City will face extremely difficult lives.
The city lord left the square with people from the Red Moon Circus and some believers, and walked towards the city lord's mansion, but before reaching the place, the strange shape in the sky disappeared.
"What's going on, why did the ceremony stop?"
The accompanying believers looked at the night sky in amazement.
The city lord was also taken aback, with a strange look on his face.
The ceremony was still going on when he left, and it should last for a long time.
But why is the ceremony stopped now? Could it be that someone killed the person who presided over the ceremony.
Who would that be?
Is it the person who saved people before and came back?
The mayor had many questions in his mind.
But Lang Hong couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the ceremony was over.
As long as the ceremony stops, if you want to sacrifice again, you need to re-select the city and prepare a lot of resources. It will take a long time anyway, and the tribes in the northern border can live in peace for a while.
Lang Hong secretly thanked Chen Fang in his heart.
