Chapter 194: Eve of the Sacrifice
The next day, on the ruined street.
When Count Sam and his subordinates arrived, they saw only a giant沟壑. Dozens of drag marks emerged around it, all covered with snow that hadn’t completely melted.
There was also a lot of blood-stained and tattered clothing on the wide street, but no bodies.
The trees on the side had all turned into wood chips, and the place was a mess, turned into ruins. Strange flowers began to bloom around.
Weird and terrifying!
In an instant, the fear surged into their eyes. It seemed that something incredible had happened last night.
“This might be a fight at the Battle King level. I don’t know if it was those two old geezers.”
The old Count’s eyes flickered, his face was ashen, and he didn’t know what expression to make. His body trembled slightly, as if suppressing his anger.
He never imagined that someone would fight directly after leaving the auction. Even if they fought, the priest of the Ancient God Sect and four shadows were all dead.
You must know that Eagle Country is different from Dragon Country. The power of the Ancient God Sect here is very strong. There is even a bishop in Florida who is close to the War God. Although he is not a cardinal, he is still extremely terrifying.
As for whether it was Su Jiu, he didn’t doubt it at all. The two people could not have caused such a tragic scene, and Su Jiu seemed to have exhausted his strength before, which made it even more impossible.
Glancing at the other party, Viscount Andrew took out a cigarette, snapped his fingers to light it, and took a deep breath, exhaling lightly and sighing, “The fight here is too terrifying. It looks like a group of people attacking a few people. There wasn’t a single survivor last night.”
At this time, the frost on the ground had not dissipated, and the sword intent remaining in it was still chilling and made people shudder.
“What should we do now? If the Ancient God Sect demands accountability, we can’t afford to offend those lunatics.” She then turned to the old Count Sam, only to find that his face was exceptionally grim.
“I don’t know…”
Thump thump…
Just then, a thin young man in black religious attire with graying hair walked over from a distance, with a golden cross casually hanging around his neck, and a demon like an owl standing on his arm.
“Who!?”
Hearing the sound, the two quickly turned to look, and their hearts were suddenly filled with dread.
Especially the old Count, when he saw the approaching person, he was startled, then narrowed his eyes, showing a dry smile: “Lord Maud, what brings you here?”
This person was none other than the bishop of the Ancient God Sect they were just discussing, a high-ranking Battle King close to advancing to the War God level.
“Heh heh, Count Sam is joking. Don’t you know why I’m here?” Maud patted the dust off his body and walked forward, speaking softly.
His voice was that of a magnetic young man, but it was clear that his black and white hair indicated that he was not a young man, but an old monster.
After speaking, Maud’s gaze fell on the residual sword intent on the ground. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but whisper: “This… seems a bit wrong. Is it a sword master? But his strength shouldn’t be just at the Battle General level.”
“Battle General?!”
Viscount Andrew was slightly stunned when she heard Maud’s voice, and she looked at him uncertainly. Then she looked at the giant pit, and she really wanted to point at it and ask, “You call this a Battle General Level?”
“It is indeed a Battle General. Not only is her understanding of the sword high, but that sword skill is definitely a very powerful high-level skill, and the mastery is also very high.”
“The priest is dead. I need to report this to the Ferryman first. This matter absolutely cannot be let go. I will also participate in your sacrifice.”
Maud glanced at her, said indifferently, then took out a piece of white paper, tossed it gently, and flicked his finger.
With a silver light flashing, several black characters appeared on the white paper, and then disappeared. He put the note into the letter tube on the owl’s ankle.
“Hoo hoo!” “Chirp chirp!”
The owl flapped its wings and instantly flew into the sky.
Looking at the frost on the ground, Count Sam’s eyes flickered. He seemed to think of Su Jiu and the other person, but he wasn’t sure. Su Jiu and the other person’s identity must be extraordinary. If they made enemies easily and offended the Duke behind them, it would be a loss outweighing the gain.
At this moment, the old Count Sam seemed to have begun to believe that Su Jiu and the other person were backed by a Duke. After all, both the Duke and this bishop were people he couldn’t afford to offend.
Silence was the best response.
…
You Si Small Shop.
“This thing… seems to be missing a key?”
As the “culprit,” Su Jiu leaned on the sofa, holding the small alchemy box in his hand, fiddling with it, and sipping coffee from time to time, quite leisurely.
After she fainted last night, Yun Xi, to avoid being tracked by those people, did not return to the inn. Instead, she went back to this small shop after many turns. The knight uncle helped them conceal their aura without saying a word.
The door opened, and Yun Xi walked in. She looked at Wenders, who was writing beside her, and then said with a solemn expression: “Someone has indeed come, and as this knight said, it is the bishop of Florida, but fortunately, he is wearing black.”
“As expected, I heard that the bishop of Florida likes to collect strange alchemy products. This priest was probably sent by him, and this time it will be troublesome.” Hearing the voice, Wenders frowned, with a mini red dragon on his head. The red dragon was like a large lizard.
Then he looked up and said to Su Jiu very seriously: “He is a high-ranking Battle King. I’m afraid I can’t help you both.”
“If I still had my former strength, it would be easier. Two shots would be enough to break him. But now, it’s too much. I have hidden injuries all over my body, and my strength has declined too much. I am definitely not his opponent.”
Hearing Wenders’ words, Su Jiu smiled faintly, gently put down the cup in his hand, looked at Wenders, and said with a relaxed expression: “I can heal.”
“You can heal? Miss Su Jiu, my injuries are hidden injuries. They need a lot of life force to be effective, and they require very delicate operation…” Wenders stopped halfway through his sentence. He saw a majestic emerald black light surging in Su Jiu’s hand.
His face was first overjoyed, then he asked with some concern: “As long as the hidden injuries are healed, I can most likely recover to the Intermediate Battle King level, which is more than enough to deal with him. But you are only at the Battle General level, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to do so in three days…”
“As long as there are enough Magic Crystals.”
Su Jiu said lightly. While healing Wenders, she was also repeatedly tempering her body. For her, it was a relatively slow method of cultivation.
The gray-haired woman beside them gratefully refilled Su Jiu’s coffee, and said in a low voice with sincere eyes: “Thank you both. If I wasn’t poisoned, I would definitely go and help you.”
“We all have our own needs.”
Waving her hand, Su Jiu smiled, took the coffee, and took a sip. Things seemed to be going in a good direction, but she seemed to have forgotten something.
…
In the inn, several figures in tailcoats, members of the Blood Clan, came out.
Looking at the backs of the Blood Clan members who had just come to check, Huang Erhua trembled. These guys were at least at the same level as her, and they suspected her of killing a Battle King?
She then turned to look at Laura, who was still planning to go to the sacrifice, and she seemed to be calling someone on the phone.
Realizing what she should say, Huang Erhua spoke up: “Now everyone is in a state of panic, we really shouldn’t go there.”
Laura glanced at Huang Erhua and said faintly: “I am an Initial Stage Battle General. If you are afraid, you can leave at any time.”
“I want to go too…”
Huang Erhua fell silent, with a look of resignation on her face. She was in a state where she couldn’t go back and didn’t dare to leave.
She could only silently pray for Su Jiu to come back quickly and stop this crazy behavior of going to the sacrifice.
Oh dear, my dear grandmother, Master Su, where have you gone!
