"How beautiful!"
Upon seeing Ya Fei, Hu Gan’s beautiful eyes imdiately lit up, wishing he could rush forward and snatch her away at once.
"Grandpa Su, this God of Hongng actually demands a living person as a sacrifice! He must be an Evil God; we absolutely cannot let him succeed!" Hu Jia’s large eyes turned towards Su Qian. She knew her grandfather wasn’t the one in charge, and with his Peak Dou Emperor cultivation level, he was no match for Yun Shan and Jia Xintian.
Only if Su Qian was willing to act, with his two-star Sect Dou cultivation level and the prestige of Canaan College, might it be possible to stop this sacrificial ceremony.
"Don’t talk nonsense! Be careful what you say—it could bring disaster!" Hu Gan glared at Hu Jia, fully aware of the girl’s thoughts.
He was also troubled by this. It was one thing for her to fancy won, but now was not the ti to consider such matters. Could that mysterious God of Hongng, who has swept across half the northwest in such a short period, be so easily provoked?
"No need to rush," Su Qian said with a faint smile. "Look at their faces; there isn’t a hint of unwillingness or coercion. Canaan College has always avoided involvent in the struggles between powers. If they are willing to sacrifice themselves, we have even less reason to interfere!"
"Oh." Hu Jia let out a sowhat disappointed ’hmm,’ her gaze falling on Ya Fei. Even though she had a preference for won, she wasn’t rash. That’s why she had no reaction when dusa was offered as a sacrifice. dusa was of the Snake race. In the eyes of humans, she was no different from a magical beast. A sacrifice is a sacrifice. It’s the sa as using livestock.
Therefore, when Ya Fei appeared, a stir went through the crowd. However, deterred by the might of the Hongng Divine Sect, they dared not voice any objections. Besides, the Mitter Family was also present, and it was clear the sacrifices were voluntary. What could outsiders like them say?
Following Ya Fei was Little Immortal Doctor, dressed in simple and elegant white that transcended worldly charm, and Nalan Yanran, wearing a white dress that exuded cold grace, her figure curvy and distinguished. Unlike the mature and enchanting beauty of dusa and Ya Fei, they also caught the eye and evoked admiration. The two of them were not well-known, so the crowd’s reaction was much less intense.
But the next two made them do a double-take.
"Is that... That’s Elder Princess Yao Ye!"
"And Younger Princess Yao Yue!"
"They’ve actually been offered on the altar?"
Following Nalan Yanran were two sisters, one older, one younger—forr princesses of the Gamma Empire, granddaughters of Jia Xintian. Elder Princess Yao Ye, wearing an opulent brocade robe, was tall and mature, her charm and allure natural, her cold, noble deanor exuding authority. She had a significant reputation in the Gamma Empire, known for being as capable as any man, able to command an army of a hundred thousand. The Younger Princess was an alchemist, quirky and lively.
When Jia Xintian learned that Yunyun intended to offer Nalan Yanran as a sacrifice, he investigated the details of the sacrifice thoroughly. In his eyes, it was an opportunity of a lifeti. Moreover, having people in God’s kingdom would make future matters simpler. Therefore, he recomnded Yao Ye and Yao Yue to Yunyun. The two won could arguably be considered blessed by great fortune. Coupled with their pleasing appearance, good figures, and capabilities, not to ntion being sisters, Yunyun agreed. After all, two more would do no harm, and it was a good gesture considering Jia Xintian had contributed significantly; it wouldn’t do to disappoint him.
Following the Yao Ye sisters was the timid Qing Lin. Dressed in light green, elegant attire, her petite fra was well-developed. She was curvy where it mattered, with ample fullness and delicate slimness where desired. But she looked sowhat unripe, her cute, exquisite face like that of a beautiful porcelain doll. Her shy deanor, like a frightened little rabbit, inevitably stirred feelings of compassion in the hearts of onlookers. However, she, seemingly unremarkable and without fa, was naturally overlooked by the crowd.
"Just who is this God of Hongng? According to the news, this Nalan Yanran is currently a disciple of the Hongng Divine Sect Master Yunyun, and Yao Ye and Yao Yue are Jia Xintian’s granddaughters! They have all been made into sacrifices..." Su Qian’s eyes were filled with bewildernt. Sacrificing others was one thing, but Yunyun and Jia Xintian—one a Sect Hierarch, the other one of only two publicly known Sect Dous of the Hongng Divine Sect. This made no sense at all.
"Perhaps this God of Hongng is more powerful and terrifying than we imagined!" Hu Gan’s voice was heavy.
Hu Jia’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at the alluring beauties on the altar. So were seductively enchanting. Others were wild and tempting. Or strikingly noble and cold. Or shy and fragile. Or lively and playful. That was the feeling of a heart being touched.
Suddenly,
BOOM.
An intense and terrifying heat started to rise, the temperature in the space soared dramatically, and everyone looked over in shock. Yun Shan took out a blue lotus, a cyan flower with eight petals, like the most perfect jade, naturally flawless. At a glance, it was crystal clear, giving one an irresistible allure. Within the lotus lay a small platform about two to three feet in size, and from the tiny holes on the platform, glimrs of light shone through. Those were lotus seeds ford by the most refined fiery energy attributes. In the center of the platform blazed a cyan fla. The cyan fla, full of spirituality, undulated gently, sotis coalescing into the shape of a lotus, sotis into a thin cyan serpent of fire.
"What kind of fla is that? It looks terrifying, causing one to feel genuine palpitations!"
"This is definitely no ordinary fire; it’s likely one of the legendary Different Fires!"
"What is a Different Fire?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Different Fires are powerful and rare; ordinary people simply don’t know of them.
"To think it’s a Different Fire!"
"It seems to be the Green Lotus Core Fla, ranked nineteenth on the Different Fire List!"
"What a grand gesture, to actually use a Different Fire as a sacrifice!" Su Qian and Hu Gan exclaid in astonishnt, thoroughly shocked.
Beneath their Canaan College’s Burning Sky Tower lay a Different Fire ranked fourteenth—the Falling Heart Fla. Therefore, they were not unfamiliar with Different Fires.
"It is the Green Lotus Core Fla!" Gu Xun’er’s pupils shrank, and her breathing beca slightly hurried. In her mind, she recalled the introduction to Different Fires she had read before. The Green Lotus Core Fla is born deep within the earth, crafted through countless refinents of the earth’s fire, rging, compressing, and sculpting... In ten years it becos sentient, in a hundred years it takes form, in a thousand years it becos a lotus. When it matures, its hue leans towards cyan, with a wisp of blue fla erging from its heart, thus nad the Qinglian Fire, also known as the Green Lotus Core Fla. This fire’s power is unpredictable—it could even provoke a volcanic eruption near volcanic regions, becoming a force of natural destruction!
Gu Xun’er possessed the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burnt Sky Fla on the Different Fire List. While she didn’t regard the Green Lotus Core Fla highly, it was one of the requirents for completing her mission. She ca to kill dusa, but she never expected to find the Green Lotus Core Fla here. It was as if she had found sothing she’d been searching for without even trying. She could complete her mission directly now.
At this mont, even though she was curious about the God of Hongng, she could not wait any longer. What if the God of Hongng was too strong and it affected her mission completion? Failure would an execution. She could only succeed; failure was not an option.
At this mont, her eyes were sharp, filled with unyielding determination. Her long, straight, beautiful legs moved as she walked toward the center of the sacrificial altar.
An intangible force spread out, filling every inch of space. Jia Xintian, Yun Shan, Yunyun, and other powerhouses instantly sensed it.
Especially dusa. She felt targeted, and when she looked over, she saw a young girl approaching her, looking as pure and otherworldly as an unopened lotus, strikingly beautiful and cold. The girl exhibited no fluctuations of Dou Qi but walked through the air. At least a Sect Dou! dusa thought, her heart pounding. I’m definitely no match for her. She’s very powerful, very frightening. Apart from the God of Hongng, she’s the most terrifying powerhouse I’ve ever encountered. She might even be a Lord Dou!
"Gu Xun’er!" Yunyun recognized her at a glance. She also felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from Gu Xun’er. The newcor was harboring ill intentions.
