God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me
Chapter 879 - 879: Insane! Attempting a Blood Sacrifice to the Evil Cult?Southwest of An City, fifty miles away.
In the continuous undulating mountains, there is an abandoned mining area.
This place is extremely remote, with only one road leading to An City, and even the nearest village is several kilometers away.
Inside the mining area, around a more concealed pit, more than two hundred figures dragged hundreds of various bound birds and beasts, tossing them at the edge of the pit and then directly slicing them open to drain their blood.
A few meters away from the edge of the pit, in the open space, the remains of various animals piled up by the thousands, with corpses stacking up like mountains.
“Roar roar…”
“Whine…”
For a time, the vast mining area was filled with the deep roars of beasts and the mournful cries of birds, weaving together into a terrifying and eerie sound, shocking to the ears, making one’s hair stand on end.
At the bottom of the pit, the fresh blood of thousands of birds and beasts had already formed a Blood Pond, with a stench reaching the skies.
This Blood Pond seemed to have been eroded by some evil force, not only continuously bubbling but also sporadically releasing puffs of black gas…
It is said that this mining area was haunted in the past, with miners often going mad for no apparent reason, ending up with their bodies turning black, bleeding from all orifices, and dying.
Even monks and Taoists brought in for exorcisms died of fright.
Since then, the mining area has been abandoned.
But starting half a year ago, this group of people suddenly moved into the mining area, claiming to be an exploration team, and since then they have stayed put, never leaving.
What the outside world didn’t know was that the more than two hundred people who entered the mining area under the guise of an exploration team were actually all elite members of the Eight Great Families.
The eight leaders, all Emperors in the Emperor Realm, were even revered elders of their clans.
The reason the Eight Great Families targeted this abandoned mine and secretly stationed a large number of elites was originally just a chance discovery of some abnormalities.
But after half a year of investigation and exploration, they had confirmed half a month ago that beneath the mining area was indeed a site of an Evil Spirits Seal.
Although such a seal site is evil and dangerous, it also represents a huge opportunity.
Thinking that there was a high probability of finding Soul Bones and Divinity Fragments underground, the heads of the Eight Great Families’ eyes reddened, and they decided to block the news and dig in secret.
They did not even report to Prince Jin’s Mansion.
The reason Ye Fan only learned about the Evil Spirits beneath An City after encountering that small Evil Spirit Bai Shitong was due to this.
Over the past half month, the more than two hundred elites from the Eight Great Families stationed here had already dug a considerable distance downward.
They had even captured a large number of birds and beasts in the mountains, all confined within the mining area’s storeroom.
This was in preparation for the final step of the blood sacrifice to the Evil Spirits.
According to the original schedule, it would have taken at least another half a month to reach the underground Seal, but today, the Eight Great Families suddenly encountered a great disaster, an abrupt change, and the situation took a sharp turn.
The eight clan elders stationed here, upon receiving the news, immediately contacted the newly selected temporary patriarchs through encrypted satellite phone.
In the end, a consensus was reached, with the eight temporary heads pretending to surrender.
On one hand, to buy time, and on the other hand, to deceive Ye Fan and the Lu Family, they first rescued the hundreds of elites detained and still kneeling outside the Lu Family Courtyard.
Meanwhile, the eight clan elders stationed in the mining area led the two hundred plus elite members to immediately slaughter the birds and beasts in the storeroom, conduct the blood sacrifice ahead of schedule, break the Seal, and release the Evil Spirits.
All this was currently progressing tensely yet orderly…
Once the Seal was broken and the Evil Spirits released, An City would undoubtedly fall into chaos, and the forces of Ye Fan and Mortal Alliance, as well as the Lu Family, would be completely restrained.
That would be the best opportunity for the Eight Great Families to flee collectively and relocate to the Capital to take refuge with Prince Jin.
Even if this Evil Spirit is strong enough to severely injure Ye Fan and the others.
The Eight Great Families, risking everything, choose to stay and fight back with all their might, managing a turnaround and counterattack, is not impossible at all…
…
Lu Family Courtyard.
Eight temporary patriarchs kneeled in a row in front of Lu Zhongting, Wei Zhengyang, Lu Xue, and other senior members of the Lu Family, crying and begging earnestly.
“Second Young Master Lu, Elder Wei, we admit our faults…”
“It was all because the previous Family Head acted too arrogantly and haughtily, but now they have all committed suicide to apologize.”
“Now that we have been chosen, as temporary patriarchs, we are willing to offer all resources from our family treasuries to express our sincerity.”
“We hope that the senior members of the Lu Family can be magnanimous and give us, the Eight Great Families, a chance to reform.”
“Here we swear to heaven that from now on, the Eight Great Families will follow the lead of the Lu Family, support you generation after generation, at your command.”
“If we break this oath, may the heavens punish us, leading to the extinction of our families, the death of our clan members, and the end of our bloodline’s continuation…”
The eight elders spoke fervently and sincerely, making the onlookers from An City, who were watching nearby, feel pity and whisper among themselves.
Most hoped to see the Lu Family forgive and from now on, turn hostility into peace with the Eight Great Families.
This, however, put Lu Zhongting and others in a difficult position.
The Lu Family had been deeply humiliated today, and not to mention, the Eight Great Families had robbed the Lu Family’s supplies for the Tianlong Army more than once or twice in the past.
If they were to let them go just like that, it would be too hard to accept for the members of the Lu Family.
But the situation at hand was clear.
The Eight Great Families had not only offered to compensate with their treasuries but even the patriarchs and those who attempted to assassinate Ye Fan had already committed suicide in the Lu Family Courtyard.
Moreover, the eight temporary patriarchs had publicly taken a deadly oath in front of the witnesses from An City…
If the Lu Family still insisted on a massacre, wiping out all members of the Eight Great Families.
Once this incident was spread out, not only the Lu Family but even Ye Fan, who was currently in the backyard, might face public condemnation.
Just as they were struggling with their decision, suddenly, noise came from a corner of the backyard.
“Li…”
“Rustle!”
Old Du, who had been practicing the Golden Chicken Stance for half a day, suddenly raised his head and let out a fierce howl, his face fierce and terrifying.
This was clearly his last burst of energy; his final shout also completely exhausted his last bit of life force.
The Ice Seal chill that had paused at his neck surged up instantly, freezing his head in less than a moment.
Right after, the remaining half of Old Du’s body fell forward, breaking into countless frozen fragments upon hitting the ground, turning into nothing amidst the rustling sounds…
This scene was so brutal that even Lu Zhongting couldn’t bear to watch directly, his eyelids twitching.
His internal struggles seemed to be swayed by this scene.
Just as he was about to reluctantly agree to the plea of the eight temporary patriarchs, from the direction of the Lu Family’s backyard, Ye Fan’s chilling voice suddenly came through.
“The Eight Great Families, how dare you deceive in such a way, ignoring the lives of millions of An City’s citizens, you truly deserve death!”
“Guo Li, Yu Qiang, take action immediately, spare none of the Eight Great Families…”
