At noon, in the square right in front of the , snake-shaped flying ships were hovering dozens of feet above the ground The thirty newly selected Prefecture Overseers, including Yu Huai and Yu He, were standing before the ships, all gorgeously dressed and surrounded by large groups of retinues They were quietly looking at dozens of Elders, ere dancing around an altar placed right before the door of theout of the altar Although it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, everyone felt their hairs standing as if they had entered a grave late at night Souely, there were strea into the bodies of the sons of Yu Clan

A few days ago, the Yu Clan had selected thirty Prefecture Overseers through a duel During the process, nearly six thousand lower-grade Oracles and warriors were killed in exchange for the great joy of the ghosts and deities worshiped by the clan, who eventually bestowed thereat power But, too bad that half of the poas exclusively given to Wu Qi, which had pushed his cultivation of the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture to the Nine Stars Real Yu He, and theirhalf of the power, and it only slightly increased their cultivation base, not even enough to push thele for these young sons like Yu He to take control of a province with their current cultivation base Therefore, the Elders of Yu Clan had no other choice but to pour in e-scale cere and sacrifice, so that they could add a little th to their sons before they set off to their own territories

In the last duel, six thousand lower-grade Oracles and warriors were sacrificed for the great joy of the ghosts and deities Those who died during the duel had agreed to participate because of the handsome rewards proers at Yu Clan even when the casualties were heavy But, Yu Clan could not sacrifice their men without limits, and this time, it was clear that they offered sacrifices on their own initiative If they still acted so unscrupulously, they reat troubles

Therefore, in this sacrificial cerehtered thirty thousand black sheep, thirty thousand white horses, thirty thousand green oxen, and countless other sacrifices in front of the great hall The slaughter began at dawn and lasted for eight to ten hours Fortunately, Yu Clan had a large range of pastures outside Zhong Ning City, where countless livestock was kept Although such massive sacrifices were not comparable to the joy that the souls and blood of six thousand Oracles and warriors had brought to these ghosts and deities, but the difference was not huge

There wereon the altar Although the sun was blazing in the sky and they did not like it very , that they could not help but slip out of the world where they lived They frantically snatched the blood and souls of the slaughtered animals Countless animal-shaped souls wrapped in vast streams of blood flew up in the air and poured into their mouths

Not a drop of blood was left in front of the hosts and deities had devoured it all in the blink of an eye

But, perhaps it was because the blood and souls of the Oracles and warriors ere sacrificed a few days ago had greatly satisfied these ghosts and deities, even though so htered and the soldiers ere responsible for sending and slaughtering the animals on the altar were breathless due to the hard work, they still did not show any satisfaction

Upon noticing the situation, Yu Mu, as presiding the sacrificial ceremony over the altar, could not help but have his expression changed slightly He gritted his teeth and cried out in a low voice, "Bring those sacrifices here Quickly kill them and burn their bodies!"

As his voice echoed out, columns of armored-soldiers broke out from a few nearby side-halls, and, like a pack of wolves, they escorted out so these prisoners to resist, the soldiers pushed them up the altar and chopped off their heads with steel blades

A few old men roared in hoarse voices, "How can you kill us? The Human Emperor has repeated decrees that no blood sacrifice is allowed! You"

Before they could finish, Yu Miao rushed up and smashed their hearts with his palm one by one When he was done, he licked the blood on his hand and looked at Wu Qi with an evil eye "The interdict imposed by the Huainst the will of the Huht to talk about the interdict?" He said with a chuckle

Four thousand men and women were killed in batches, and their blood and souls ihosts and deities floating over the altar Although their blood and souls were not as vigorous and delicious as the six thousand Oracles and warriors, but after all, they were humans And when coupled with the hundreds of thousands of livestock, the ghosts and deities finally san to radiate out of their bodies Auidance, the blood-red light split into thirty streaht and precisely injected into the bodies of the thirty new Prefecture Overseers
