Chapter 223
223 Chapter 223 the beginning of chaos
Over 500 people in the cave were completely paralyzed and couldn’t move at all. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The only things that could move were their eyes, tongues and throats. Therefore, they were panicking, screaming, and letting out the most tragic wail. They were at a loss and extremely afraid to welcome their next fate.
It was a huge, bottomless well. The bottom of the well was like a huge gladiator arena. The well was surrounded by stone walls which were over 100 m high. It was like a natural cave with only a thin line of sunlight shining down from above.
At the bottom of the well, human skeletons were piled up like a mountain. The surrounding walls of the well were covered with bloody scratches, which were the last traces left by despairing hands.
In addition to the scratches, there were also countless hair-raising holes on the walls of the well, and he had no idea what was in those holes.
As for those who were in the deep well of despair, this place was like a living hell and a slaughterhouse.
“Help me!”
“I don’t want to die yet, save me Yingluo”
I have money, I have money. As long as you let me leave, I’ll agree to any condition, Yingluo.
Almost everyone was screaming and begging for mercy, tears and snot flowing down their faces. Their screams were earth-shaking as they fell to the ground, countless bones under them. Some of the bones even had rotten flesh hanging on them, and the stench was pungent. There were even maggots crawling on them.
The ground of the skeleton was covered with black stones and soil that had been soaked in blood.
Many people were so scared that they had wet their pants.
A gate under the well was opened. Under the dim light, a team of wooden puppets started to walk into the well with stiff steps and started to work like machines.
The puppet doll was as tall as a normal person, and its entire body was made of blood-stained wood. Its head was also made of wood, and on the head of the wood, there was a pale face with a strange smile on it.
The wooden puppets had great strength. When they pinched the wrists and ankles of those people who couldn’t move, they made cracking sounds and could break their bones. Those people who were already extremely frightened had their limbs broken by the puppets. They were in unbearable pain and shrieked even louder.
The wooden puppets ignored the screams of the people being dragged and carried out the orders mechanically. They dragged the hands and feet of the people who were numb and stiff as if they were dragging goods and inanimate objects. They dragged the people to the middle of the deep well and fiddled with them into a specific pattern, which was the eye of a demon.
Some of them were piled up into a ball and became the eyeballs within the eyes, while others formed the eye sockets around the eyes.
It didn’t take long for everyone at the bottom of the well to be dragged to the middle of the well by wooden puppets. They lay on the ground and used their bodies to form a picture-it was a sacrificial totem of the Demon’s Eye made of more than 500 living people.
The wooden puppets started to leave. Some of the people being sacrificed already knew what was going to happen next. They cried, cursed, fainted from fear, and screamed. Like a huge and noisy noise, they echoed at the bottom of the deep well.
However, those people didn’t know that what was more tragic was yet to come.
After the wooden puppet figure completely retreated, strange snake-like worms crawled out of the dense holes on the walls of the deep well and quickly swarmed toward the sacrificial totem of the Demon’s Eye.
The strange black insects crawled over the ground and bones, and the whole well was filled with hair-raising rustling sounds.
Only after a short while, those weird worms had crawled to the front of a woman who was lying on the ground. With the woman’s terrified shrieks, those weird worms started to gnaw her flesh. Some of them even drilled into her ears, nostrils and mouth. At the same time, blood started to flow out of her eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
The woman couldn’t move; however, she was quivering due to fear and pain. Her eyes were bloodshot with fear and despair.
Countless strange black insects covered the Demon’s Eye totem in the blink of an eye.
The shrieks from the deep well immediately became ten times sharper.
……
altar head ning, listen, this is the most beautiful sound in the world. As long as we use the right method, we could get 10 times more Tributes than common ones. In the words of those mortals, it’s an art to squeeze out mortals ‘fear.
It was a Palace on the top of the well. A teenager in black robe with evil and handsome face and bloody eyes was holding a Scarlet glass with a smile as if he was appreciating a beautiful picture. He lowered his head and overlooked the scene in the pitch-dark well which was like a purgatory in the human world.
Next to the young man was a middle-aged man with his head lowered, his eyes cold and dangerous.
The man’s attitude towards the young man was very respectful. you’re right, Palace Master!
The strange black insects were wriggling, and the Demon’s Eye was trembling slightly, as if a demon had just woken up from a dream and opened its eyes.
Countless people’s blood was on the ground, making the Demon’s Eye look bloody and ferocious from the sky.
The man holding the glass closed his eyes as he felt the powerful negative energy caused by despair, fear, pain and resentment flowing out of the well like water. After that, it was absorbed by the surrounding space bit by bit.
The lives of all the people in the well would be transformed into dark negative consciousness and energy. These negative things would be the tributes of the sacrificial ceremony of the Devil’s Eye.
There seemed to be a huge mouth in the invisible void, greedily absorbing the negative consciousness and energy that gushed out of the well.
The screams from the well continued, never stopping.
A cloud of black mist flew over from afar and appeared in front of the youth. The black mist dispersed and revealed a man wearing a devil mask. He knelt on one knee and said with a trembling voice, ” reporting to the hall Master, there is an urgent report from the great Shang Kingdom’s Shangjing city!
Oh, what’s the matter? altar leader Di’s previous plan to assassinate Beitang Wangchuan and stir up the situation in the great Shang. Did it succeed? ”
“The assassination of Beitang Wangchuan failed. The Shang branch in Shangjing was destroyed by the adjudicator Army. Altar leader di and seven deacons were all killed. One of the deacons self-destructed after being captured. Our sect suffered heavy losses in Shangjing. Many of our arrangements in the Shang were also uprooted. Many of our disciples were killed or escaped in hiding.”
With a snap, the wine cup shattered in the young man’s hand and turned into light smoke.
“What’s going on?”
“The assassination was a trap. Altar leader di and the others fell into it and none of them survived!”
good hehe, good hehe, what a Beitang Wangchuan, what a great hehe of the great Shang! the young man’s eyes were bloodshot, and his voice suddenly sounded like a demon’s, rumbling in the entire Palace, ” let the five Devils come and see me!
……
A few minutes later, the teenager was sitting on a bloody throne while 5 people in red, black, purple, gold and white robes were standing in the palace and bowing towards him.
Among the five people in the palace, some of them had extremely weird Qi, some were full of killing intent, some were full of lifeless Qi of disasters and diseases, some were as ethereal as nothingness.
“Greetings, Hall Master!”
my sect’s branch in Shangjing city of the great Shang has been completely annihilated. I’m preparing to send the five of you to lead your subordinates to Shangjing city of the great Shang kingdom. The demon gate is about to open and the nine provinces will be in chaos. My sect’s fire seed will be reignited wherever it was extinguished. Shangjing city will be used as a burial ground for our branch. There are hundreds of millions of mortals in Shangjing city. As for how you will do it, it will depend on your own abilities. Whoever has the greatest contribution this time will be your leader in the future.
“Yes!”
After receiving the mission, the five of them slowly faded away and disappeared from the palace in the blink of an eye.
……
Sir, we’ve reached Huanhuan from Changle alley. the coachman opened the door for Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan paid the fare and walked into the alley.
From the Hong mansion to here, it took about five to six hours to walk through the entire Shangjing.
The atmosphere in Shangjing city was a little tense today. There were people hunting for the remnants of the bloody demon Church everywhere. From time to time, teams of police and people from the judgement Army could be seen on the streets. There were checkpoints set up at some intersections, so it was not easy to even get a rental carriage. Many people heard that they were hunting for the members of the bloody demon church and were so scared by the words ” bloody demon church ” that they did not dare to go out.
Xia Pingan waited for a long time before he managed to call for a carriage. Along the way, he had to go through all kinds of queue checks. By the time Xia Pingan returned to Changle Lane, the night had already fallen and the sun was about to set.
Should he buy a carriage and a horse for himself? otherwise, it would be really inconvenient to travel in Shangjing.
If he wanted to buy a carriage, he would have to hire a coachman.
Xia Pingan muttered in his heart. He walked back to the small courtyard he had rented, took out the key, and opened the gate.
The Black Dragon immediately came forward and licked Xia Pingan’s hand, indicating that everything was normal in the courtyard.
Just as Xia ping ‘an was about to walk towards the underground secret room and fuse with the realm Pearl, he heard a strange soft sound. He turned his head and saw that on the wall to the East of his courtyard, beside an Osmanthus tree, there was a long piece of tied bed sheet.
The sheet was tied with knots, like a rope, and was thrown from the other side of the wall.
Xia ping ‘an walked in front of the sheet and looked up. He remembered that the neighbor to the East of this small courtyard was also from an impressive and wealthy family in Shangjing. The house next door was even more majestic than the Hong residence.
Xia Pingan looked at the sheet and was dumbfounded. What did this mean? Was the stupid thief in the nearby mansion going to crawl over along the sheet?
Just as Xia Pingan raised his head to look at the wall above, a low exclamation was heard. A figure holding a skirt and climbing up the wall directly fell from the wall.
