When the chariot entered Laoye Mountain, the rock mountain with mixed colors had no vegetation at all. Countless holes were taken out of the inside of the mountain. If you listened with your ears, you could hear a scramble, as if countless insects were drilled into your ears, making people shudder.

"It's more like a nest than an altar." As the goddess sneered, the chariot arrived at an empty palace room, and used hundreds of night-bright rhinos instead of candlelight to illuminate every corner.

I saw a man wearing a white robe, covering his head with only a pair of black and white eyes. He sat on a low chair, looking like a prince and nobleman, but in the eyes of the goddess, he was pretending to be forcing the scene.

"Do I call you Master Tianlong or Barefoot Golden Back?" The goddess walked out of the chariot with a look of contempt.

"What's wrong with the Goddess Yongcui coming in person?" Master Tianlong didn't say anything, but the sound made under the mask was different from that of ordinary people, and there was also a sense of sensation.

"You should know that Jiuli Kingdom is fighting with Youxiong Kingdom at this moment, right?" asked the goddess: "For respect, we don't need you to go to the front line to take risks personally, but the military supplies that should have been transported to the front line, especially the spiritual rock marrow, are taken away by you. What does this mean?"

"That's what belongs to me." Master Tianlong's tone did not fluctuate, and he could not hear the joy, anger, sorrow and joy: "The Lord of Swallowing the Rock was seriously injured by Boxing back then, and it was the descendants of the Rock Pig who contained it. The spirit rock marrow produced by the Rock Pig naturally belongs to me."

"It was not the case at the beginning." The goddess frowned and said, "Bo Xing fell, more than half of the nine gods were killed or injured, and all the ten witches of Feng Ju were destroyed, which made them lose the key help to interfere in the world.

The so-called rock swallower is an ancient beast born from the southern land. Its shape is half like a pig and half like a rhinoceros. The descendants of the race are called rock veins and can swallow rock metal and iron. The feces they excrete are not ordinary things, but are closer to treasures in heaven and earth. They are generally called spiritual rock marrow. In addition to being used to sharpen weapons and repair armor, they can also be crushed and used as medicine. Under uniform, they can make ordinary soldiers as strong as rocks, truly invulnerable to swords and guns.

Although the marrow of spiritual rock is rare, if used properly, it can play a corresponding role in the battlefield, just like the dragon blood lipid controlled by the Sage Valley.

"The battlefield ahead is fighting for a day. The soldiers urgently need Lingyan Marrow to save their lives. If you take such important materials alone, it will be a great sin!" The goddess was not polite and scolded in person: "I don't care about your private friendship with the Lord of Swallowing in the past. If I don't hand over Lingyan Marrow as soon as possible, I will arrange people to go to nearby villages to take care of those rocks on your behalf!"

Master Tianlong said, "You are occupying my territory."

"Territory?" The goddess laughed and said, "You figured out one thing. Now the entire southern territory is the territory of Jiuli Kingdom. If it weren't for your contributions in the past, how could we allow you to control the surrounding areas alone?"

"Goddess Yongcui, are you going to be an enemy of me?" Mr. Tianlong's tone was not turbulent, making people unable to guess whether he was calm or gloomy.

"How many times have I sent people to show off my goodwill before this?" The goddess snorted coldly: "Don't forget that during the Tianxia Dynasty, our Yongcui Temple would send a message in advance, so that you could temporarily lie dormant and not confront the Tianxia Dynasty's ritual officers, so that you could save your lives.

Now our Yongcui Temple and the Holy Valley will be together, and the army of the Bear Kingdom will be blocked in the north, which will allow you to live happily in the south. As a result, you are now asked to offer a batch of spiritual materials, but you try to evade and even think you are self-righteous!"

Master Tianlong said slowly: "My years in this land were far before the founding of the Tianxia Dynasty, let alone the Jiuli Kingdom. Countless creatures survived and died, not relying on you."

The goddess couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't it just curling up in a remote corner and having fun? How long do you think this kind of good life will last? If the front line army is defeated and the entire southern territory is annexed by the Youxiong Kingdom, you will be killed immediately!

Seeing that your news is blocked, I will tell you something. Zhao Shu, who made the Boxing reverse back, is now in the army of the Youxiong Kingdom. I believe you still remember what his distant ancestor Zhao Daoxiang did in the southern land."

Master Tianlong remained silent, and the goddess continued, "You demon gods are not going to be the weather after all. I didn't kill you all at the beginning. I felt that you still have something to do, so I gave you a chance to survive. Otherwise, Li Chun and I can take advantage of your weakness."

"You have arrived with great fanfare this time. I have discussed with the rest of you before. It won't be just the Lingyan Marrow." Master Tianlong seemed to have eased a little.

"It's still related to Zhao Shu." The goddess paced back and forth and said: "Li Chun was on the front line and found that the Xiong Kingdom was laying out a large-scale mandala, which must be to reproduce Zhao Shu's actions back then. We alone are not enough to make a comeback. You must obstruct Zhao Shu when he opened the altar."

"This is very dangerous." Master Tianlong did not agree immediately.

"What? Finally scared?" The goddess said mercilessly: "This is not a request, it is an order! If you want to protect your current territory and believers, then be obediently serving Jiuli Kingdom!"

"No, this is not enough." Master Tianlong seemed dissatisfied.

"Want to bargain?" the goddess said in a word.

Master Tianlong said bluntly: "I want you to restore the blood sacrifice of the living."

The goddess' expression frightened. Since the marriage between the Holy Valley and Yongcui Temple, Li Chun has taken the opportunity to issue many decrees to try to rectify the sacrifices of demon gods in Jiuli Kingdom. One of them is to prohibit the blood sacrifice of living people.

The prerequisite for this decree to be promulgated is that after the fall of the Bo Star, the Southern Earth Demon God was greatly damaged and not enough to disobey. The failure of the war with the Huaxu Kingdom also caused many tribes to undergo drastic changes, and many tribes followed the decrees and broke away from the control of the demon gods in disguise.

No one can see that the power of the demon god in the south is no longer the same as before. Without faith and wish to nourish the soul, the demon god cannot even recover quickly from his injuries. With such advancement and retreat, the goddess of the Yongcui Temple can already scold the demon gods like Master Tianlong in a dignified manner, just like a monarch against his subjects.

However, the goddess herself also knew that although the decree banned the blood sacrifice of living people, some remote tribes still maintained the old customs, and the places that were difficult to reach in the Shrine Valley and Yongcui Temple were sent many times but failed to rectify.

"Don't think I don't know. There are still blood sacrifices for living people in Lao Ye Mountain twice a year." The goddess said, "As for the more remote village tribes, if there are fewer offerings, you will have to satisfy you with living people or even babies. We have not pursued them before, so don't be too tempted!"

"You are the ones who are more and more serious." Master Tianlong's tone was still calm: "Since you are here, let's make a sacrifice today. As a great witch, you must attend in person to show your sincerity. After the sacrifice, I will offer Lingyan Marrow."

The goddess's expression was slightly cold, and she was secretly annoyed. She had been able to take the place in a remote place before and was difficult to manage and talk about things, but once she personally participated in the blood sacrifice, the decree would be difficult to restrain these demon gods in the future.

In fact, Li Chun and the goddess did not care much about the blood sacrifice of living people. They knew these things. Many monks who escaped from Middle-earth also used corpses to perform evil magic, but at least they would not make it public, and they could have maintained some face.

However, thinking of the increasingly anxious battle situation on the front line, if you can't win this battle, you don't have to talk about what the future will be. As long as you repel the attack of the Bear Kingdom this time, it will not be too late to slowly clear these demon gods in the future!

"Okay, I promise you, but this is only once!" The goddess thought carefully and could only agree temporarily.

...

Zhao Shu looked at the Tianxia Tongbao in his hand. This was what he had obtained from selling medicinal materials. Even though the market in Laoye Mountain is remote, it still retains some of the remains of the Tianxia Dynasty. In addition to the simplest bartering, the local people will still use copper coins cast by the Tianxia Dynasty. Even if the people here may not fully understand the meaning behind these copper coins.

"How is it? Have you found out how to return to Wuyangzhai?" Yan Qiu also came with a bunch of things on his back.

Zhao Shu nodded: "I already know, I will leave later."

"Are you leaving now?" Yan Qiu asked, "I just heard that the Great Witch Zhu was going to attend the sacrifice. Don't you come and see?"

"Sacrifice?" Zhao Shu asked: "Don't Lao Yeshan sacrifice twice a year? It's not the time yet?"

"It's probably because the Great Witch Zhu came in person." Yan Qiu said excitedly: "And after every sacrifice, the old man will set up a grand banquet outside the mountain. Why don't you come together?"

Zhao Shu did not refuse. After waiting for a while, the altar outside the old man was laid out. The great witches under the command of Master Tianlong came out one after another. The goddess Yongcui was watching the ceremony. Although she was as beautiful as a young girl, her demeanor was extraordinary.

The great witch declared on the altar, which was nothing more than some praise. Finally, she said that she would choose the believers present to enter the altar, participate in the sacrifice, and receive the grace of God.

As soon as this statement was spoken, it immediately caused thunder to cheer. Zhao Shu hid among the crowd, but vaguely noticed a hint of danger.

The great witch on the altar grabbed a handful of stones from the pottery jar and threw them into the sky. The old man behind them shone with a bright color, and the stones were covered with bright colors and sprinkled into the crowd.

Everyone rushed to snatch it, and Yan Qiu was no exception. Zhao Shu wanted to dissuade him, but saw Yan Qiu holding on to a stone firmly and his body was filled with inspiration.

At this time, I heard the great witch say, "The person who caught the divine stone is asked to go to the altar and receive the grace of God."

Hearing this, together with Yan Qiu, more than a dozen believers with colorful inspiration on their bodies walked up to the altar. Each of them had expressions of joy and excitement on their faces, and they were extremely expecting about what would come.

The great witch with a bone mask on the altar turned around and looked at the goddess Yongcui. The other party nodded slightly. The great witch was allowed and waved her hand. Dozens of strong guards rushed to the altar, took down the more than ten believers together, and dragged them to the stone platform full of dried blood stains.

"Master Tianlong said that he will take you to the prosperous and prosperous land of paradise, and you will never have to suffer from illness again." The big witch in her tone was a bit fanatical: "Come on! The door to paradise has been opened to you!"

After the words were settled, Yan Qiu was pushed to the stone platform first. Seeing the strong man next to him pull out a sharp knife, even if he was foolish, he finally understood his situation at this moment. He did not expect that the so-called receiving the grace of God was actually a living sacrifice.

"No, no! I don't want it-" Yan Qiu struggled and shouted, but the strong man was extremely powerful, and he slapped his eyes and couldn't speak.

Seeing Yan Qiu's clothes being pulled out, the sharp knife was pressed into his heart. Just as he was about to see blood, a wooden stick flew out of the air, like a spear throwing a spear, directly penetrated the strong man holding the knife.

Such unexpected variables made the group scream. The big bone-faced witch was frightened and angry when she saw this, and shouted: "Who is it?! How dare you destroy the sacrifice?"

Zhao Shu sighed silently, jumped down to the altar, pulled out the wooden stick, and threw the strong man's body away at will.

"Since he was a god who did not want to bless all the people, he was betrayed the people, but he was a ruthless evil and enjoyed the sacrifice of blood." Zhao Shu stood with a stick: "It was so unbearable to be a god, but only a demon."

"Come on! Take down this evil man who offended Master Tianlong!" The Bone-faced Witch shouted loudly.

The strong men on both sides rushed out together at this time, and Zhao Shu didn't even look at it. She flew away the wooden stick and knocked all the strong men to their heads and blood, and then they flew out like cleaning dust, which shocked the people from the altar to scream and flee.

"Random!" The big witch on the bone-faced face opened her arms and was about to use her magic, but unexpectedly, the wooden stick spun over and smashed his head directly, spilling red and white filth, and pouring it on the altar at will.

"This kind of live offering is probably even more popular with Master Tianlong, so there is no need to thank him." Before Zhao Shu finished speaking, the wooden stick swirled and blocked several green arrow lights.

"Oh, Goddess Yongcui is not willing to be lonely?" Zhao Shu turned around and glanced at the goddess of Goddess Yongcui, and the witch Zhu on both sides urged his magic, with a look of defense on his face.

"Who are you?" The goddess Yongcui was not frightened by the sudden change: "From your ability, you are obviously a cultivator with magic power. Could it be that the person of the Shangjing Sect of Xiong Kingdom?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Shu did not answer directly.

"As a spy, is it inappropriate to take risks?" The goddess Yongcui stood with her arms in her arms, with a calm expression: "You gangs of Shangjing Sect are very cunning. They discovered the movements several times, but they forced you to escape the pursuit. But like you, it is rare to see them all the way to the depths of the southern land. Which of your master is one of the four immortals?"

"What? Did Goddess Yongcui have any arrangements for me?" Zhao Shu asked.

The goddess Yongcui smiled, but her eyes looked like she looked at a dead person: "After cutting off your head, you must know who to give it to."

Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked up at Lao Ye Mountain: "Where is Master Tianlong? Why didn't he show up? I just killed his Wu Zhu Priest."

"What? Do you think your situation is not dangerous enough?" Goddess Yongcui laughed out loud: "You immortals like you always have a sense of arrogance in your bones, thinking that you can't go anywhere in the sky and earth, and you dare to break through any danger. I want to see what your expression will be when you die."

Zhao Shu curled his lips and looked at the goddess Yongcui again: "I originally thought that the priest Wu Zhu who interprets omens like you, who guards the sacred tree, should be a person with a quiet mind and loves living creatures. As a result, you really... disappointed me!"
