Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 252 Sacrifice Ceremony

The next morning, the streets of the Sky City were filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and a convoy of cars marched out of the city gate in an orderly manner. The white jade carriage at the head of the convoy exuded a strange power, as if it could devour all the power that was spying on it.

But at this moment, Ye Qi was still sleeping soundly for some reason, with no sign of waking up at all, which made Shuang'er, who was anxiously and panicking, at a loss.

"Master! Don't sleep! Wake up! Wake up!"

"Shuang'er! Stop it! Why are you up so early in the morning instead of sleeping? Let me sleep a little longer!"

"Young Master! Hurry up and get up! The Saintess has already left for the sacrificial ceremony in the back mountain!"

"Back mountain? Sacrifice?"

Ye Qi still mumbled a few words sleepily, then turned over and continued to sleep with the quilt in his arms.

Shuang'er saw that Ye Qi, who had been woken up with great difficulty, turned around and fell asleep like a dead pig. She was at a loss for a moment. She looked around but couldn't find any suitable objects to wake him up. Either they were angular and she was afraid of hurting him, or they were heavy and she was afraid of hurting him. Finally, she looked at her palms, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes!

"Crack! Crack!"

As two crisp slaps sounded, a blush instantly appeared on Ye Qi's cheeks. He turned around in pain and looked at Shuang'er in surprise, who was at a loss!

At this moment, Shuang'er fell to her knees on the ground like a maid who had made a mistake. She hurriedly explained, "Sir! Today is the sacrificial ceremony. The Saint Maiden couldn't wait for you to wake up, so she had to go first. Before she left, she asked me to do everything I could to wake you up!"

"Why do I feel dizzy?"

"Young Master! It was Manyue who put a love potion on you. Although I don't know why she did that, she suddenly changed her temperament this morning and seemed to be targeting the Saint Girl. It's Shuang'er who is useless. Please punish me, Young Master!" Shuang'er said as she leaned over and knocked her head down, but was unexpectedly stopped by Ye Qi.

"It's not your fault, help me get to the back mountain!

As Ye Qi spoke, he forced himself to stand up, staggered and fell on Shuang'er's thin shoulders, and then the two of them limped out.

Fortunately, Manyue did not arrange anyone to guard them and prevent them from going out. The two of them walked out of the Sky City without any accidents along the way.

However, looking at the mountains in the distance, Ye Qi still felt sleepy. Just when sleepiness was about to suppress his conscious will, he suddenly took out the wine that Shu'er had left in the ring!

A sip of dry wine went into his stomach, and he felt drunk instantly. However, the stimulation of drunkenness blocked the medicinal effects of the aphrodisiac incense left in his body!

Although he was still staggering, he at least had some strength. He immediately summoned the Yixi Sword, hugged Shuang'er around the waist, and flew towards the back mountain of the sacrificial ceremony!

At this time, in the back mountain, Mu Qingyao was wearing gorgeous clothes and sitting in a sedan chair. She was carried to the top of the mountain by a group of people. The guards around her didn't even dare to look at the person in the sedan chair, and their eyes were full of fear!

However, Man Wangtian, who was walking in front, had a strange look on his face, and his attention was not at all on Mu Qingyao, who was supposed to be the protagonist today!

Just as everyone was about to enter the sacrificial arena, a maid suddenly ran over in a panic. She didn't care about the sharp stones on the ground and knelt on the ground with a "thump". Her thin body trembled, and she didn't even dare to raise her head. She crawled on the ground without saying a word, as if she was waiting for the moment when her fate would be judged!

Man Wangtian saw that Manyue's personal maid came to him and knelt down directly without telling him the progress of the things he had arranged. He guessed that it must not have been completed. Then he swung his sword angrily, and as a silver light fell, the maid lost her life on the spot!

"You bunch of useless people can't even keep up with your own master. What use are you?"

As Man Wangtian put away his sword, the people around him were very tactful and quickly dragged the girl's body away from there to avoid offending their master.

"Godfather, don't worry. Sixth Sister must be hiding near this back mountain. She will definitely show up when the sacrificial ceremony begins. As long as I'm here, I won't let Sixth Sister affect today's sacrificial ceremony!"

"It's Ling'er who makes me feel at ease. Once the sacrificial ceremony begins, I won't be able to think about other things. If I spot Yue'er at that time, I must stop her and not let her in... or disturb the sacrificial ceremony!"

After Man Ling received the order from Man Wangtian, he bowed to show that he had received the order, just like the other spirit soldiers. After all, an adopted son is still an adopted son, just closer to him than an ordinary person. But compared with a legitimate daughter like Man Yue, although he is her brother, if it really comes down to status in the clan, she has the highest status.

After all, although she is nominally the sixth lady, her five half-sisters have died in extremely bizarre ways over the years. As the only bloodline inheritor of Man Wangtian, she is also placed with high hopes. What's more, because of her mother, Man Wangtian is also very spoiled to her!

After arranging these things, Man Wangtian walked towards the sacrificial venue. After watching Mu Qingyao slowly walk to the center of the altar, everyone present, including Man Wangtian, knelt down!

At the same time, four witches holding magic wands appeared around the altar. However, these witches did not kneel down. Instead, they shook the wands in their hands at the same time, and suddenly a teleportation barrier appeared in the center of the altar!

Just as Mu Qingyao stepped out of the teleportation barrier, a figure suddenly appeared on the altar and shouted urgently, "The Saint's identity is different. Please, four guardians, quickly close the teleportation formation and wait for me to verify her identity!"
