On the bank of the holy lake, a pile of firewood was piled up with wood, one person high. Next to it sat a priest in black robe, and a woman in red was tied to the pile of firewood.
The woman's face was pale and her eyes were closed. She didn't know whether she had fainted or was bewitched.
Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between the holy lake and the woman in red, and sometimes looked at the bright moon in the sky, as if they were waiting for something.
"There is still half an hour until the moon is fully round. By then, the gates of hell will be wide open and the Yin Qi will be at its strongest. It is the best time to perform soul selection sacrifices." King Yue calculated with his fingers, then turned to Master Evil Infant and cupped his hands. : "Great Priest, this trip is tiring, and it will delay your practice of breaking the mirror."
"Haha~ They are all from my own family, so what can I say when seeing outsiders? Besides, I have been in seclusion for a long time and still haven't been able to make a breakthrough. I guess this bottleneck cannot be broken through seclusion alone."
"Originally, I was planning to explore the wasteland sea area to find some opportunities, and just in time to catch up with the opening of the Holy Lake, it suits my purpose. I don't know if I can gain something from this trip!" Master Evil Infant waved his hand and followed. As he waved his hand, his whole body was full of momentum. His originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the lake with vigour, his eyes full of expectation.
Unexpectedly, he would regard this extremely dangerous trip to the Holy Lake as a practice of breaking the mirror!
. .
The three kings were all exhorting the people around them, when suddenly a ball of fire appeared in a canyon at the foot of the mountain!
At the same time, Wang Zhi had an extra token in his hand, and his expression changed as he looked at the token.
"Not good! Someone broke into the mountain!!"
"I'll go take a look!" He turned around and walked down the mountain.
King Ting rolled his eyes but stopped and said: "We only need to guard the holy lake, don't fall into the trap of trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go! With you here, I don't think he can do anything!
If he breaks the mountain-protecting formation, it will be a disaster for those resentful spirits to escape from Wuxia Mountain! "King Zhi had a hint of worry in his eyebrows, and then turned around and left.
After King Zhi left, the fire under the mountain gradually extinguished after a while. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but King Zhi did not return.
The bright moon is gradually becoming like a jade plate, and the mist between heaven and earth is getting thicker and thicker. Clouds and mist are everywhere as far as the eye can see. Touching the Sun Peak is like a suspended fairy mountain floating in the clouds.
A faint ray of moonlight fell from the sky and landed directly on the holy lake. Unexpectedly, it stopped in mid-air, as if it was blocked by something.
The white air in the holy lake was also attracted by this ray of moonlight, and became manic and restless again, constantly rushing around. Under such a violent impact, a wave of spiritual energy quietly appeared at the edge of the holy lake, and a light yellow light curtain appeared!
The light curtain flickers on and off, covering the entire holy lake. On the light curtain are the words "Curse!" "Spirit!" "Demon!" "Shock!" which appear and disappear intermittently, mixed with various complex runes. Fill the entire light shield.
"Chichi~" The white air hit the light screen as if it was burned by flames. It was shortened in an instant. Although it was unwilling, it could only circle back.
The moonlight in the sky was also blocked by this light curtain and was unable to fall, hitting the light curtain and escaping.
Seeing such an abnormal situation, everyone understood that the time for the sacrifice was approaching. No matter how late they saw King Zhi return, a trace of inexplicable worry appeared on their faces.
"The time has come, we cannot delay the soul selection ceremony! What do you say to King Ting?" King Yue shouted loudly.
"This is natural, get ready to start it!" King Ting nodded.
Seeing King Ting nod, King Yue looked at Mu Luan again, "My dear nephew, how are you?"
Mu Luan looked down the mountain and saw only a vast expanse of white clouds. He thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"The soul selection ceremony begins!"
The black-robed priest sitting cross-legged in front of the firewood pile saw all the three parties nodding in agreement. He stood up slowly and jumped onto the firewood pile.
Looking at the unconscious woman in front of him, he muttered words, and a disturbing buzzing spell sounded on the field, and at the same time, a dark dagger appeared in his hand.
The black-robed priest walked up to the woman, held a dagger in his hand, and thrust it into the woman's head and between her eyebrows.
"Ah——!" When the dagger entered the skull, blood immediately flowed from his face, and a shrill scream rang out!
The woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the ritual sacrifice in front of her with a ferocious expression, but even though she suffered such heavy injuries, her body was still unable to move.
The black-robed priest pulled out the wound with one hand, and blood flowed out from the wound. He then flicked his sleeve, and a black carp flew out from the sleeve.
The carp's body was shiny and black, and it was only five inches long. As soon as it came out of the cuffs, it jumped into the air, rushed towards the blood hole between its eyebrows, and sucked on the wound.
Seeing the carp sucking the wound, the black-robed priest held the dagger in his hand and inserted it repeatedly, stabbing the woman's palms and soles of her feet. Then he sacrificed several carp to suck on them. Finally, he held the dagger and stabbed it into the woman's chest. !
"Poof!" With a sound, the woman closed her eyes and died.
The last carp flew out and sucked on his heart.
Between the eyebrows, the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the heart, six black carps seemed to be nailed on them, sucking the blood from the woman's body.
With every puff, the carp's body grew an inch larger, while the woman's body shriveled up a bit. In just a few breaths, the woman turned into a mummy.
At this moment, the six-tailed black carp had grown to a foot long, with strange runes faintly appearing on its scales all over its body.
The black-robed priest waved his sleeves, pocketed the six-tailed black fish, and walked slowly down the firewood pile.
With a flick of one hand, a raging fire burst out of the firewood pile, swallowing up the mummy with a crackling sound.
The black-robed priest walked to the holy lake and paced carefully, muttering something in his mouth. When he reached a pond, he stopped, took out a carp, and gently put it into the pond.
The light curtain did not block it at all, and the carp jumped into the pond, wagging its tail and trying to swim away. Unexpectedly, countless white gases in the sky rushed towards it like a shark seeing blood, and immediately entangled the black fish in it!
Countless strands of white air are like invisible threads, passing back and forth from the carp's body. Each time it passes through, it is stained with a trace of red. After a few back and forth, the white air turns into a ball of red thread!
The priest walked a few more steps and put in another tail, and immediately countless white energy rushed up.
In this way, after going around the lake, all six carp have been released into the pond. The thick white mist in the pool has turned into six groups, distributed in six corners.
After finishing everything, the black-robed priest felt the wind at his feet, and placed seven jade-like round dishes beside the pool.
"Liuhe Stanley Evil Light Array!"
"Seven Star Spiritual Moon Array!"
"The flames rise!"
"Yue Ling Luo!"
As the black-robed priest shouted loudly, six groups of red light as thick as stone rolls rose into the sky from the pool, and hit the pale yellow light shield at once!
At the same time, the seven jade plates beside the pool shook for a while, and flew directly into the air, madly sucking in the moonlight escaping around them.
After just a few breaths, the jade plate gradually brightened, as if seven moons were hanging in the sky.
Seven rays of milky white light suddenly shot out from the jade plate, and when they reunited at the center, they had turned into a ball of milky white light as big as a millstone!
The ball of light crashed down!
There was a Stanley pillar inside and a ball of light outside. The pale yellow light shield finally couldn't withstand the double power. It cracked and shattered with a soft sound!
"Alas--!"
"Oooh-ho-!"
Waves of eardrum-shaking roars resounded throughout Touching Sun Peak!
It's like a thousand ghosts asking for their souls, and like a resentful spirit eating their souls!
Everyone was so frightened that they were panicking and their faces turned pale. Many people of low status had squatted down with their heads in their hands and their faces were distorted!
