No matter what the answer was, Hua Chongyang would not believe it.
Even if he said he was from the Penglai Sect, even if it seemed like the Nether Sect had some connections with the Penglai Sect. Lu Zhou did not think that Hua Chongyang would confide in him since they were strangers who had met by chance and were wary of each other.
An ambiguous answer was enough.
Hua Chongyang pointed at the area opposite the white-clad swordsmen and said, "The people from the Taixu Academy are here as well. It's quite a scene today."
"Are you afraid?"
"Why would I be afraid of them? If they really fight, who will win and who will lose, and who will be the one to die, it is still unknown," said Hua Chongyang.
"Confidence is a good thing … but overconfidence is conceit."
Lu Zhou had seen similar confidence in Yu Shangrong and Si Wuya.
Sometimes this confidence would help them, but sometimes it would hurt them.
Among his many disciples, Lu Zhou had to pick his fourth disciple, Mingshi Yin, who was the most reliable. Up until now, Mingshi Yin had never disappointed him.
Hua Chongyang smiled and said, "Confidence comes from strength … Isn't Senior Lu very confident as well?"
Lu Zhou no longer paid any attention to him.
He really wanted to say that this old man's confidence had increased by leaps and bounds.
When Lu Zhou saw that the wooden rack was still empty, he felt bored. He said, "Tell me about the living sacrifice."
"I don't know much about her. Apart from being proficient in the language of beasts, she's also very good at music … It's said that someone saw her sitting alone at the seaside and blowing a conch shell, attracting many ferocious beasts in the sea to attack the fishermen. Of course, it's just hearsay. There's no way to confirm it," Hua Chongyang said.
Initially, Lu Zhou did not pay much attention to this person.
However, it was hard not to notice a person with such characteristics.
Being used as a living sacrifice was the best proof.
"Nobody knows where she came from?" Lu Zhou asked.
"They might be Other Tribesmen or Great Yan citizens. Nobody knows."
"It's not strange that there are people among the Outsiders who understand the language of beasts. It's indeed rare to be able to attract beasts, "Lu Zhou said.
Just as the two of them were discussing —
There was a huge crowd ahead.
Many people were waiting anxiously.
Someone took the lead to shout.
"What's going on? Hurry up and bring the demoness here! "
"Hey, hey, hey … Everyone is waiting! The people of Jingzhou City are watching! "
"If the demoness doesn't die, the people won't be able to eat and sleep in peace. Hurry, hurry, hurry …"
Under the urging of the crowd, a middle-aged man in strange clothing, wearing a brocade hat and brightly painted face, walked out and said in a loud voice, "Don't be impatient."
The voice that contained yuan qi traveled into the distance.
Then, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the position of the sun. He said, "The time has come. Bring the demoness here!"
His words fell.
The entire Heaven's Altar fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at the corridor on the left.
A slender figure slowly walked over from the corridor.
The moment the light fell on her body.
The cultivators revealed shocked expressions, because … they really couldn't associate the girl in front of them with the word "demoness".
Her black hair draped over her shoulders, looking slightly messy. There was some mud on her face, but it did nothing to hide her exquisite facial features …
His clothes were old and tattered, and he was barefoot.
Many people thought of a phrase: Miss Conch.
What made people's eyes light up the most was that pair of big eyes that shone like ink.
Under her long eyelashes, her eyes were filled with confusion.
Her hands were tied with rope.
The two cultivators followed closely behind.
…
She attracted everyone's attention.
All eyes were on her.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Her fair feet made crisp sounds as she stepped on the wooden floor. It was the main melody of the heaven's Altar.
Finally, she walked out.
There was an uproar.
At this moment …
Hua Chongyang and Lu Zhou looked over at the same time.
Lu Zhou's curiosity was piqued. He swept his gaze over.
To his surprise, the Eye of Truth did not provide him with any information.
'What's going on?
Could it be that the System was purposely making things difficult for him? Was it trying to increase the difficulty of his disguise?
However, based on the situation before him, there was no fluctuation of Primal Qi on the girl. She did not have the aura of a cultivator either.
In that case, how did she guide the beasts to attack the civilians?
At this moment, the discussions of the civilians broke the silence.
Everyone began to denounce …
"Demoness!"
"Demoness!"
The others looked at each other at a loss. They could only look at the girl as well.
The girl was even more confused now.
Her expression was one of confusion. She did not seem to know what was going on. To everyone's surprise, there was no fear, fear, or panic in her eyes. There was only confusion.
The old priest, the middle-aged man on the heaven's Altar, lowered his gaze.
"Bring her up here."
"Understood!"
The two cultivators sent out waves of energy to drag the girl up and onto the wooden frame.
The old priest waved his horsetail whisk.
The rope wrapped around the girl three times and tied her to the wooden frame.
The scorching sun shone on the girl.
Her disheveled hair, mud on her face, tattered clothes, and fair feet did not hide her beauty. Instead, it accentuated her otherworldly beauty.
"Do you know why she's being tied up?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I don't …" Hua Chongyang shook his head.
"Do you think she's a demoness?" Lu Zhou asked again.
"She doesn't look like one."
"Why not?"
"Intuition."
Hua Chongyang remembered his mission at all times. Naturally, he would not forget what he was here for. "What do you think, Senior Lu?"
"I think she's a demoness," Lu Zhou said.
"Why?"
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said slowly,
"She's not shocked, not panicked, not panicked, not afraid, not afraid … Can an ordinary person do that?"
"She doesn't have any Yuan Qi fluctuations on her, so how can she command the beasts?"
"She's only sixteen years old. She doesn't know where she lives or what her name is. How do you explain that?"
Hua Chongyang was rendered speechless by the three consecutive questions.
Lu Zhou smiled and said nothing.
It was obvious that Hua Chongyang was here for this girl.
There was no need to ask the rest.
The old priest on the altar looked at the sun in the sky again and said in a clear voice, "The time has come … let the sacrificial ceremony begin."
Kuang –
A sound rang out.
The sacrificial ceremony began.
Everyone looked at the old shaman.
The Hengqu Branch and the Taixu Academy looked at each other, but none of them made the first move.
It was as if he was here to supervise the sacrifice.
The old priest said loudly, "I'm Yang Ping of the Breeze Mountain, and I'll purify your sins in the name of the heavens.
"You will forever be reduced to ashes.
"You shall bear the flame,
"You will sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Your soul will be tested.
"Your will will be tested.
"Sins cannot tolerate the soul.
"There's no use preaching. Broken bones and a burning body are the best punishment.
"Burn!"
After chanting for a while, the old priest waved his hand.
A burst of energy appeared in his hand as he placed it on the wooden rack.
Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at the moment the firewood was ignited.
Swoosh!
The fire had just ignited.
The girl looked down with a puzzled expression on her face.
An energy palm from the Taixu Academy shot out and knocked the firewood under the wooden rack away.
Boom!
PS: I had to work until 2 am to finish writing. It might be short, but I'm really slow at writing. "Sigh … I have to clarify that Sanyuan Qian Sha is an individual member of the Silver Alliance. I didn't know about this beforehand. "Corruption, also known as Taiwu Ux, was crowdfunded by readers. There are too many names on the list. I wanted to write a chapter to thank each and every one of them, but it's too long-winded. "I didn't expect the crowdfunding to be so fast. Corruption has 5K, Rising Dragon Forgets the Dust, and Old Villain Ji. I remember all of them. There are too many names on the list, and I don't want to list them out. I'll be grateful even if it's only 1%. "It's 2 am right now. I can't even blink. That's all I'll say. I'll continue writing tomorrow. "I'll try not to take up too much PS in the future. I'm so sleepy …"
