It was evening in the south of Chaoming City.
The sky gradually darkened, and people began to gather in a huge square in the south of the city. This was originally a huge square for the common people to rest and gather. However, ever since the City Lord started believing in the Door Divine Sect, a high wall was built around the square, encircling it and turning it into a place where the Door Divine Sect held their daily rituals.
Under the City Lord's vigorous promotion, the Door Divine Sect's propaganda was very effective. It turned from an ordinary religion to one of the two largest religions in Chaoyang City. More and more people believed in the Door Divine Sect. Although the Door Divine Sect's doctrine was very strict and required people to be sacrificed, which sounded absurd, the common people could not resist the repeated brainwashing and finally believed it.
It was not evening yet, but more than half of the people in the square had gathered. There were at least tens of thousands of people in the crowd, and the scale was very large. At this moment, a figure wearing a veil hat appeared in the square.
It was Lu An.
Lu An did not need to ask for directions. All of Chaoming City was within his perception, and he easily found such a crowded place. Under the veil hat, he observed the surroundings. Most of the people in the square were common people. There were rich people and poor people. However, the difference in status between people of different statuses was even more obvious. The rich people stood at the front, while the poor people could only stand at the periphery.
There was a huge round platform in the center of the square. Many idols were placed on the round platform, and in the center of the many idols was a huge metal idol. It was much taller than the idols around it. There were tables and incense sticks in front of each idol. Even though the ritual had not started, many people had already knelt down in front of these idols to express their loyalty and piety.
Time flew by quickly. The sky was already turning dark bit by bit. Soon, the curtain of night had completely fallen. The sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the bright moon and all the stars. The entire square was plunged into darkness.
This was a scene that even the heavens did not want to see.
Just as the square was still very noisy, eight flames suddenly shot out from the mouths of the eight idols, heading straight for the walls at the edge of the square! Soon, the flames hit the fire platforms on the walls and spread in all directions. Soon, all the fire platforms on the walls were lit up, lighting up the huge square!
At this moment, the square was filled with people. There were definitely more than 100,000 people! With the appearance of the flame, the entire square immediately became quiet. Everyone looked at the high platform in the center. At this moment, eight figures leaped up high from the side and stood outside the eight statues. These eight people were wearing the same clothes, which were clearly religious attire. Seeing this scene, the hundreds of thousands of people in the square knelt down and kowtowed to the eight people.
"Greetings, Divine Envoy Ting Men!"
"Greetings, Divine Envoy Ting Men!"
A loud sound rang out, spreading far and wide from the square. That's right. These eight people were the eight God's Messengers of the Gate Divine Sect. They were also the eight disciples of the Gate Divine Sect who were in charge of Chaoming City.
"Teach us!" The eight Divine Envoys shouted loudly.
More than a hundred thousand people immediately roared at the top of their lungs, "Human lives have limits! Immeasurable Destiny! Human sacrifice to the heavens! Heaven's Gift! "
"That's right!" One of the Divine Envoys shouted, "Bring the offerings!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gate on one side of the square opened, and a huge carriage pulled by eight horses slowly moved towards the center of the square. All the disciples immediately made way for the carriage, but none of them stood up. Instead, they knelt on the ground and crawled to make way for the carriage.
The carriage pulled a huge cage, and there were ten people in the cage. They were all young men and women, and their clothes were ragged. At this moment, they were howling and wailing nonstop.
They knew what they were going to face. They were going to be killed on the spot and turned into offerings. They didn't want such a fate, so they grabbed the iron pillars of the cage with both hands and tried to rush out, but it was all in vain.
They were only the lowest slaves. How could they possibly escape from this cage?
The whole square was silent. Only these ten people were howling nonstop. Soon, two of the slaves fainted, and another sat on the ground, completely giving up hope. Hearing these ten people's wails, none of the people in the square showed any sympathy, and none of them wanted to save them.
Finally, the carriage arrived at the center of the high platform. The cage opened, and ten level-one Heavenly Masters suppressed the ten slaves. Soon, the ten slaves were forced to kneel around the statues. At this moment, more than a hundred thousand people raised their heads and knelt on the ground, looking at the high platform.
The process of living sacrifice must be witnessed with their own eyes. Otherwise, it would be seen as insincere.
Although the ten slaves wanted to struggle, they were held down by the Heavenly Masters and could not move. The slaves' faces were full of pain and tears, and their eyes were full of despair. But the eight Heavenly Gate Guardians' expressions were extremely cold. They looked at the ten slaves without any sympathy.
"Do it!" One of the Heavenly Gate Guardians shouted.
Immediately, the ten level-one Heavenly Masters' hands glowed, and they prepared to attack the ten slaves …
Bang!
Buzz — —
An extremely dull sound appeared, and an extremely deafening sound spread out in an instant. It was like the sound of a bell, but the huge vibration far exceeded it. It caused more than a hundred thousand people in the square to tremble, and even their eyes shook. They quickly raised their hands to cover their ears and looked at the center!
That's right, the sound came from the center of the square. Everyone immediately found the source of the sound. It was …
It was on the huge metal statue in the center!
A figure appeared on top of the huge metal statue without any warning. What shocked the hundred thousand people was that this person was actually stepping on top of the statue's head!
This person was wearing a veil hat, and no one could see his face or expression. But he actually dared to step on top of the statue's head. This simply made these believers go crazy. They immediately stood up and roared, expressing their strongest protest!
Lu An looked at this scene and really felt that these people were hopeless.
He wanted to save these people, but he did not know where to start.
The ten level-one Heavenly Masters stopped and looked at Lu An in astonishment. The eight Heavenly Gate Guardians were the same. They looked at Lu An with hostility and clenched their teeth!
Their superstition towards religion made them lose their ability to judge. They did not care about Lu An's strength at all. The eight of them immediately rushed towards Lu An!
The strength of these eight people was not bad. They were all level-four Heavenly Masters. In a small country, they could even become a provincial magistrate. Unfortunately, in Lu An's eyes, they were not a threat at all.
Even if Lu An did not move or raise any defense, these eight people would not be able to hurt Lu An in the slightest. Lu An did not make a move, but his eyes were slightly cold. In an instant, the eight people who rushed towards him felt a huge force suddenly appear in their bodies, causing them to swell up!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Eight consecutive explosions sounded, and the eight Heavenly Gate Guardians immediately exploded in the air! The explosion turned their bodies into flesh and blood, and they hit the eight surrounding statues hard, soaking the statues in huge amounts of blood!
The appearance of this scene instantly silenced the entire square. They stared at Lu An in disbelief!
"What bullsh * t god!" Lu An finally could not help but shout angrily, "It's all a man-made scam!"
"…"
The hundred thousand people, who were originally frightened by Lu An's strength, heard Lu An slandering the religion they believed in, and their blood went berserk and their eyes all turned red! No matter who it was, no one could insult their religion, not even their closest relatives!
For the sake of their religion, they could die!
Immediately, more than a hundred thousand people roared loudly and rushed towards Lu An! There were more than a hundred thousand of them, and they did not believe that they could not even kill one person!
Even the Taoist Masters in the religion were the same. They all jumped up and rushed towards Lu An, wanting to kill Lu An on the spot!
However —
Buzz!!!
In an instant, an invisible force swayed from the center, but in an instant, it swept across the entire square and enveloped more than a hundred thousand people!
More than a hundred thousand people were immediately imprisoned, and they could not move at all!
The Taoist Masters in the sky were the same. They could not even move a finger in the air!
"Where's your god?" Under the veil hat, Lu An's eyes were vaguely scarlet. He looked at the hundred thousand people and shouted, "Why didn't he come to save you?"
"I almost forgot, your god is under my feet!" Lu An said with a cold smile, "Unfortunately, he's nothing!"
Before his voice died away, Lu An raised his hand, and the eight idols on the periphery exploded! Then, Lu An stamped his feet slightly, and the huge metal idols under his feet instantly exploded, turning into endless metal fragments and smashing into the distance.
"You call this a god?" Lu An said coldly, but the eyes of more than a hundred thousand people did not wake up because of this. Instead, they became more and more violent, as if they wanted to skin Lu An alive.
Lu An's eyes were filled with endless killing intent, and he said coldly, "Since you want to follow your faith, I'll fulfill your wish. I'll let you sacrifice yourselves to satisfy your doctrine!"
After that, Lu An opened his arms, and in an instant, an invisible force swayed again. Wherever it passed, the earth was destroyed, and there were no living creatures!
