1809: C1809 Soul Ritual

C1809 Soul Ritual

The three of them, dressed like martial artists, stood at the edge of the crowded street without the slightest discomfort.

"Haha, Boss, I don't know why you're dressed like this right now. You really make me want to laugh."

Loong Kun was dressed like a black warrior. He actually had the mood to laugh at Xu Yang's special color makeup. On the other hand, Qing Ya, who was also dressed like a warrior beside him, spoke up in time to clear Boss Xu Yang's name.

"With your attire, you look like a vulgar villain. I really don't know what you are thinking. Even if Boss doesn't wear anything, he still has more temperament than you."

Qing Ya spoke from the bottom of his heart. Unconsciously, he revealed the most real thoughts in his heart. Xu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Instead, he let Loong Kun, who was beside him, take advantage of him.

"Hahaha! "Hahaha, Qing Ya, you are still not telling the truth. Do you secretly do some embarrassing things to our boss every night when you sleep?"

Qing Ya's face immediately blushed when Loong Kun said it. This kind of topic was not suitable for the public to talk about. Instinctively, she raised her hand and gave it to Loong Kun.

Little did she know that Qing Ya's current cultivation had already reached the middle or late stage of the Spiritual Void Stage, and his attacks were not light or heavy. He almost shattered the set of clothes that was pretending to be on Loong Kun's body.

Right at this moment, a group of more than a dozen patrolling martial artists arrived in front of Xu Yang and the other two. The centurion in the lead walked down the horse with a cold expression on his face.

"Are the three of you tired of living? Could it be that you have already forgotten what day it is tonight? That is the most important festival in our Holy Spirit City every year.

"All raise your spirits to 120%. If any part of the ceremony fails to attain perfection, it is very likely to bring about serious consequences. Can the three of you bear it?"

Xu Yang and the other two cooperated very well with this centurion's work. They immediately lowered their heads and hurriedly dressed up as martial artists. They tidied up once again.

They stood upright in front of the Centurion and received a lecture. Only then did the patrol team leave in satisfaction.

"Alright, alright, be obedient. Don't mess around anymore. Don't forget that we still have an even more important mission to complete tonight."

Xu Yang pretended to be dignified. He cleared his throat and reminded Loong Kun and Qingya beside him.

Although the three of them could easily get rid of all the troubles even if they broke into the Holy Soul City, if they did that, they would certainly expose their identities in advance.

That would definitely lead to many bad results.

After all, Xu Yang and the other two had a special agreement with the emperor of the empire.

They had entered the Holy Soul City under the guise of going to the three forbidden zones to improve their cultivation base.

If he caused too much trouble during this period of time, it would make the situation very awkward. It would be very difficult for him to report back to the emperor later. Considering this reason, Xu Yang decided to solve the internal problem of the Holy Soul City as easily as possible. It was best not to alert the enemy and expose his identity.

Perhaps it was because of the ceremony that was held every year in City-state, the entire city was filled with excitement from morning to night.

This was because on this day every year, after the ceremony, if they could witness the talent of the chosen one, all the citizens would receive special rewards from the royal team. The warriors guarding the city would also receive different degrees of rewards.

In general, this soul sacrifice ceremony seemed to be a festive event that would celebrate the entire process. Only the poor children would be sacrificed.

In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. The guards that Xu Yang and the other two were in were moved to the center of the square where the Soul Ritual was held. This was also the result that Xu Yang had planned beforehand.

It was only in this place that the three of them could act at any time and interfere with the entire process of the Soul Sacrifice Ritual. They could also obtain the clearest view and understand the entire sequence of events.

Sure enough, after all the martial artists' sentries were assembled.

The thousands of children who were waiting for the soul sacrifice ceremony test were escorted by a group of martial artists with special identities from the end of the longer street to the center of this plaza.

What Xu Yang and the other two did not expect was that these children appeared together with them. There were thousands of wounded victims in prisoner clothes.

Moreover, most of these people were women. They looked at the children in the cradle closest to them and kept crying. Their faces were full of sorrow.

But looking at the scene before them, they didn't have any strength to resist the martial artists by their side at all.

"Boss, did you notice that those women all have a common characteristic? They don't seem to be women from the Empire."1

Loong Kun quickly discovered some details from his observation. He shared what he found with Xu Yang and Qingya, who were standing next to him at the sentry post.

"That's right."

Xu Yang nodded with a serious expression.

"If my judgment is correct, these women should be captives of neighboring empires.

When we participated in the Hundred Martial Meeting, we had dealings with the warriors of neighboring empires. I can't be wrong about the unique aura emitted from their bodies. These women should be prisoners captured after the war between the two empires.

If that's the case, then I can roughly guess the truth behind the so-called soul sacrifice ceremony.

It is to use the bodies of these captives to breed new lives and select good seedlings with strong martial arts cultivation talent to serve the Empire in the future.

And these women who had suffered had undoubtedly become machines for the Empire to create new strength.

In this so-called magnificent Holy Spirit City, beneath the towering city walls, they had lost their basic rights and interests as humans forever.

It's really too cruel. I didn't expect that under this seemingly bright and beautiful Empire's power, there would be such a cruel and inhuman method. "

Xu Yang expressed his thoughts. For the first time, he was swayed by his decision to support the emperor. The three of them had promised the emperor that they would lead the warriors in the empire to attack the neighboring empire.

The high and mighty emperor of the empire acted like a weakling in front of Xu Yang and the other two. He had never thought that he would allow those in the upper echelons of the empire to do such a terrible thing.

Loong Kun couldn't help but ask when he heard Xu Yang's righteous speech.

"Boss, according to your opinion, should we reject the old emperor's request and stop working for him on the main battlefield?"
