Time has done a positive number on the poorly-dressed tea shop girl . She became graceful with an amazing figure shrouded below her silver robe . She appeared pure and transcending; a perfect creation from the gods .
She lost her fear and stood proudly with her chest arched forward . Her eyes flashed with holy glimmers as she spoke with an elegant voice: “Who are you?”
Gu Lida rubbed his messy beard and smiled: “I’m your Ancestral Uncle in terms of seniority . ”
“Master said that you were evil enough to be expelled from the temple . ” She grimaced while ripples appeared in her eyes .
Alas, there was no murderous intent despite knowing that he was an evil shaman . Her eyes were still clear like two springs with the water of life . Her nature was too kind and innocent .
“Keke, seniority doesn’t matter anymore, not now and not in the future . ” Gu Lida gazed at her figure with his red eyes, wanting to see through her silver robe .
However, the mist around her blocked all lights in this world .
“Begin the ceremony . ” Lida withdrew his intrusive stare and smirked, thinking that the girl was a fish on the platter, no need to rush .
“For what?” She asked . Even a fool could tell that the situation wasn’t looking good . Everything here seemed to be aimed at her .
Gu Lida’s eyes had a flash of both holiness and perversion: “The power of the ceremony will awaken one strand of intent from the great god . We’ll ask him to give me the tree inside you . ”
He shuddered with excitement; his dried hand reached forward, wanting to grab her delicate body . His expression said it all . Who knows if it was because of the tree or the incredible beauty? Perhaps both .
Her expression soured, aware of this old man’s intention . She raised her silver staff and gathered witch energy in order to resist .
“It’s no use, young goddess . ” He took out a shining piece of animal hide . It grew bigger with diagrams depicting mountains and rivers before absorbing the energy from the staff . Its remnant force knocked her down on the ground .
He put the animal hide away and laughed loudly: “I’ll be gentle if you cooperate, keke, but if you don’t, I’ll strip you naked and throw you into the sacrificial pond . You’ll then find out what a fate worse than death is . ”
His eyes brimmed with brutality . He had captured people and refined them alive in his cauldron so that he could live longer .
Many heretics nearby felt that it was a waste for a kingdom-toppling goddess to be used by this nasty old man .
Alas, none of them objected because this was the will of the heretical king . No one dared to oppose him .
A ripple suddenly appeared behind Gu Lida as he reached forward .
The guy was comparable to a late-stage Giant so he could sense this little ripple . He became tense and swiftly took out his hide again .
“Whoosh!” A hidden murderous intent intensified .
The void suddenly opened and a person dressed in green pierced Gu Lida from behind with a white-glowing spear . Blood crazily gushed out .
This happened too sudden, leaving Gu Lida grievously injured with a shattered spine . Luckily for him, his bones have been reinforced with witch runes before and were fully connected . Otherwise, that thrust earlier could have killed him .
The guy was skillful enough to shift his heart and rolled to the side before covering himself with the animal hide .
“Huh . ” The ambusher was surprised and wanted to add another thrust to crucify Gu Lida .
However, the five protectors below the altar attacked in unison with their massive palm .
“Such impudence! You dare to disturb the ceremony?!” They shouted thunderously, causing the area to quake . Five heavenly palms descended from above .
However, the ambusher suddenly disappeared and the palms missed entirely .
The guy appeared and disappeared too quickly; no one could see him clearly . Not a single aura remained .
If it wasn’t for Gu Lida coughing out blood on the ground, the heretics would have thought that they were only seeing things earlier .
The atmosphere became tense . Everyone held their breath and became cautious .
A protector with a kind face looked around: “It’s Feng Feiyun . Nangong Hongyan is dead so he has that invisible cloak now . He’s hiding nearby . ”
This was terrible news so everyone grimaced . The cloak could hide all auras . They couldn’t detect him even if he were standing right behind him .
“Pluff!” A heretic screamed before falling down . His head was no longer connected to his body .
No one saw who did it, only a slight ripple in space and a white flash with peerless sharpness .
The five protectors tried to attack again but the void closed once more .
“Pluff! Pluff! Pluff!” Another three heretics on the other side of the altar were slain . They never got the chance to retaliate .
The protectors were furious from being unable to do anything but watch .
The injured Gu Lida was scared out of his mind . He ran down the altar towards the five protectors before taking in nine black pills to stop the bleeding . Color returned to his face .
“Protectors, just be on guard and we’ll be fine . The brat will need to reveal his position when attacking . That’s the moment to strike . ” Gu Lida had nothing but hatred .
Success was right before him but this guy came out of nowhere and nearly took his life . ‘I’m gonna refine this brat to death when I catch him!’
The fifth protector said: “Feiyun still isn’t a Giant and can only threaten us with ambushes . Keep an eye out and he won’t be able to do anything . ”
Giants had impeccable awareness due to their divine intents, able to react to the slightest spatial ripple . They could work together right away and take down Feiyun at a moment’s notice .
“Yes, he’s alone and weaker than us . Seal space and force him out . ” The five took out one bloodstained talisman each . They were longer than a meter with different runic engravings - nine-headed bird, Qiongqi, one-legged crane, four-pupil phoenix, and fire rat . These were the primal beasts from the legends .
The engravings were done with their distant descendants’ blood . These bloodlines were as thin as can be but still had explosive potential .
The talismans floated in five different spots in the sky and compressed the area nearby . Space seemed to be cracking .
This pressure made the captured beasts tremble and roar . The weaker ones simply exploded .
They wanted to force Feiyun out using these talismans then suppress him .
“Give up, Feng Feiyun, your cultivation is too weak to be our opponent . It’s not shameful to lose to the heretical young lord . ” One protector persuaded .
“Resisting will only end in your death . If you give up, you will be part of the upper echelon, a confidant of our lord…”
“Crack!” Suddenly, iron chains were severed on top of the altar . The great architecture quaked as a stone tablet broke into pieces .
“Raaa!” A beast raged and howled, hurting everyone’s ears .
More iron chains were broken to the astonishment of the heretics . A Bi’an as big as a hill raised both of its claws and destroyed a portion of the altar . Boulders started rolling down .
The furious creature was white with the head of a dragon and the body of a tiger . Its eyes were bigger than a water jar . Its first target was one of the bloodstained talismans in the sky .
One protect screamed: “He broke the sealing tablet and the chains on that Bi’an!”
This spirit beast had the bloodline of a sacred Bi’an and had cultivated for more than 1,200 years, strong enough to take on several Giants at the same time .
It was captured by the Life Walker and sealed by numerous talismans in the form of chains and one powerful tablet . It was meant to be the main sacrifice but Feiyun had just released it .
Spirit beasts were just as smart as people so being captured for sacrificial purposes left the creature livid . It became more than ready for payback after being set free .
