Chapter 323: Great Priest

One of them was old and had a long beard that reached to his chest. His long eyebrows covered his face, and he had a beige crown on his head. His body was hunched, and he held a scepter in his hand. His steps were light and slow. The person who supported him was a delicate and slim girl. This girl's face was covered with a silk scarf. Her hair was adorned with a beautiful red crown made of red feathers. Her entire body exuded a graceful and noble aura. She was dressed in transparent yellow satin, and one could vaguely see the private parts hidden by the black cloth. Her healthy wheat-colored skin was less smooth and delicate, but it had a wild and alluring taste.

Behind the old man and the young girl were four old men dressed in gold, silver, yellow, and gray. These old men followed behind her respectfully. They each held a tray, and on the tray were some things that could not be seen clearly.

These few people had just walked out of the plaza when the forty guards and eight great protectors knelt down together and said respectfully. "Welcome Great Priest, welcome Priestess!"

After the voice sounded, everyone in the plaza knelt down together and respectfully called out, "Welcome Great Priest, welcome Priestess!"

The voices of hundreds of thousands of people were very loud and shocking!

After calling out a few times, all the voices became quiet.

Behind the old man the young man, a golden-robed elder walked out and said loudly, "The sacrificial ceremony begins!"

Then a strange sound rang out again.

Those eight protectors who carried flying snake spirit beasts opened the black iron cage. The eight of them threw the flying snake beasts that were more than ten meters long into the air at the same time.

Immediately after, the eight of them attacked at the same time. Eight powerful spiritual qi flew towards the flying snake beasts like sharp blades.

Clang! Clang!

The eight of them didn't attack to kill the snake beasts. The eight of them attacked not because they wanted to kill the flying snake beast, but because they wanted to break the metal chain that had locked the flying beast.

The flying snake beast was able to escape. It let out a hissing sound and flew into the sky to escape.

"My people, let God bless our Gu Sacrificial City to break the ancestor curse as soon as possible. May our Gu Sacrificial City prosper and live in peace forever..." The old man with the yellow crown slowly rose into the air. Held the scepter high in his hand and chanted in his heart.

His voice was like a Sanskrit, causing people to be intoxicated and lose their minds.

After a paragraph of reading, the flying snake beast had already flown to an unknown place.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the old man cried out in alarm, "Blood Sacrifice my city, break the curse of ten thousand eras, bless my city of ten thousand eras!"

The scepter in the old man's hand emitted a dazzling and holy light.

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, emitting a thunderous explosion.

A miserable cry resounded throughout the entire place. A pool of blood rained down from the sky, scattering onto the heads of the crowd.

A rain of blood rained down, turning half of the sky with red color.

All the citizens raised their heads. They opened their mouths wide, looking excited as they waited for the rain of blood to fall.

When the little bit of bright red beast blood scattered down, everyone drank the drop of blood in their mouths. Their expressions were filled with extreme desire and greed. It was as if the little bit of blood that spilled down was not enough to satisfy their desires.

Everyone kept cheering and howling. Their faces were covered in blood, and they felt like hungry ghosts choosing food. They looked extremely ferocious and frightening.

Feng Yun looked at Yuan Jie in shock. In his heart, he was even frightened by all these bizarre and sinister scenes.

"Is this the Sacrificial city? Why does it look a bit like the blood sacrifice in ancient legends?" Feng Yun asked doubtfully in his heart.

Feng Yun had read some of the legends about the mysterious priest in some ancient scrolls.

He flt that this blood sacrifice ceremony was very similar to some ancient race, the priest. It was just that there was some kind of difference between them. Moreover, the records in the ancient scroll were incomplete, so he didn't know if his guess was correct.

Feng Yun originally thought that the city sacrifice ceremony was over, but he didn't expect that this was the true beginning.

The old man who was floating in the air put his hands together, his old eyes tightly shut. The glow of the scepter in his hands became increasingly bright.

Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky covered the sun. Everything was enveloped by darkness. It was as if the world had turned into darkness in an instant.

"Great Priest, please bless us lowly people."

"Great Priest, please bless us lowly people."

...

The residents of the city kept worshiping Great Priest. They kept repeating the same pleas.

After a long time, the scepter in the old man's hand shone brightly again. He raised it up high and shouted, "Break for me!"

Boom!

A loud sound that was like a bolt of lightning exploded once again.

The pitch black sky seemed to have been split into two by the pillar of light, and it broke apart in an instant.

This scene was simply spectacular to the extreme.

Everyone's expressions became even crazier to the extreme. They kept kowtowing to the old man in the air.

"In the name of Great Priest, I bed the heaven to pity my people. May the heavens give us sweet dew to wash away the crimes of our people." "In the name of Great Priest..." The old man spread his palms apart. His expression was solemn as he kept murmuring in a low voice to the sky.

His voice was like the sound of divine music from the nine heavens. His words and sentences shook the hearts of people.

The sky that had been torn apart seemed to have heard some summoning, and the drips and drips of rain sprinkled down.

This time, it was no longer blood, but real rain.

The rain drenched everyone, and at the same time washed away all the blood on their faces.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the city looked up in satisfaction. It was as if their souls had been cleansed at this moment, making them forget all their worries and pain. All that was left was yearning for happiness.

"The ceremony has concluded. Dear children, let us cheer to our heart's content. We have already obtained the blessing of the heaven!" The old man slowly descended from the sky and said indifferently.

"Thank you for the gift from Great Priest. Thank you for Great Priest's gift.

All the townspeople started to celebrate.

For a moment, the square was filled with cheers.

As Feng Yun looked at that old figure, his expression revealed a hint of horror.

"Sovereign Profound Realm, I definitely didn't see wrongly!" As Feng Yun looked at the old man who had descended, his heart was filled with shock.

With his extraordinary perception, he believed that the old man was definitely an expert above the Heaven Profound Realm.

He had  never thought that there would be such a powerful existence in this city. No wonder they weren't swallowed up by the other sect or clan.
