Li Zhenye sighed, knelt down, kowtowed several times to Jin Zhihuan, then resolutely got up and went to contact the person in charge of the Seventh Holy Hall for help.
Yes, Jin Zhihuan was absolutely right. If Jinluo City still exists, there is still hope. Even if it is controlled by the Holy Temple in the future, there will still be a chance to make a comeback.
But if Jinluo City is gone, then all of this is just empty talk.
After contacting the Holy Temple, Li Zhenye rushed back: "City Lord, we've made contact."
"What do you mean by 'Sanctuary'?" Jin Zhihuan asked wearily.
"The Holy Temple said that if we hold out for two days, they will arrive within two days with experts from all sides. They have also ordered the leaders of other Holy Temples to have all the Temple forces in the Asian region arrive within one day," Li Zhenye said.
“Good…good…” Jin Zhihuan smiled slightly and murmured, “As long as the Holy Temple makes a move, there is still hope. Ye Xingchen…let’s see how long you can hold out.”
"Lord of the City..." Just then, Li Zhenye cried out in terror.
Jin Zhihuan looked up and saw a sea of crimson outside the door.
He rushed out of the room and looked up at the sky.
Most of the sky had turned crimson, and in the west, the setting sun was a blood-red hue.
The setting sun was like blood; these were the four words that came to his mind.
Yes, upon seeing this scene, these four words would come to most people's minds.
The setting sun, blood-red, painted most of the sky crimson.
In an instant, the entire city of Jinluo was shocked, and almost everyone ran outside to watch the strange phenomenon in the sky and discuss it.
An uneasy atmosphere quickly spread throughout the city, and many people regretted not having quietly left this place of trouble when they were able to leave the city.
After all, the people who came to challenge Jinluo City this time were simply too strong.
This was supposed to be Jin Zhihuan's personal grudge, but now it has involved a whole bunch of people. But it's too late to say anything now. Everyone is looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, wondering what will happen in the future.
On Giant Spirit Peak, Ye Xingchen gazed at the crimson setting sun in the west, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Si Qianyu squatted down beside her, looking at Ye Xingchen. At this moment, the murderous intent in her eyes had completely disappeared, and all that remained was a touch of tenderness.
At this moment, she had forgotten everything around her, and only had eyes for the man in front of her. No matter where the future led, she would walk with him.
Finally, dozens of streaks of light streaked across the crimson sky, heading towards Jinluo City.
This is a meteorite from the sky, streaking down with a long trail of fire and a destructive force.
"It's about to begin." Ye Xingchen looked at the meteorites streaking across the sky and revealed a relieved expression.
Si Qianyu stood up, walked to Ye Xingchen's side, and held his hand tightly.
Ye Xingchen put his arm around her shoulder, and the two sat on the edge of Giant Spirit Peak, watching the firelight streak across the sky.
At this moment, the setting sun seemed to be accompanied by meteorites falling from the sky, which, while carrying a hint of destruction, also created a unique kind of scenery.
Boom... The first meteorite landed above Jinluo City.
A sudden burst of azure light shone, and the meteorite was instantly shattered by the array.
The meteorite's sparks scattered along the city's protective array. Although the meteorite was blocked by the array, the entire city of Jinluo still trembled slightly.
"What is this? A meteorite?"
"This is not a meteorite, this is divine punishment."
"Run, run fast..."
Those standing outside Jinluo City had been watching the strange phenomena in the sky, but when the meteorite actually fell, everyone began to panic.
Most of them were utterly wicked.
They don't believe in fate or destiny; they only believe in living in the present and that their fate is in their own hands.
They are not afraid of the will of Heaven or ghosts and gods, because they are the evil ones. How could evil people be afraid of the will of Heaven or ghosts and gods?
However, when the heavenly punishment truly descended, and that earth-shattering, all-annihilating power crashed down upon them, they finally realized the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao.
Everyone scattered and fled in panic, but now that the Jinluo City formation was activated, those outside couldn't get in, and those inside couldn't get out.
As the first meteorite struck from above, more meteorites followed, falling from the sky.
Boom boom boom... Even though the Seal Array of Jinluo City was formed by Lu Qingchen, the last national teacher of the late Qing Dynasty, by injecting the power inherited from six generations of national teachers into it, it still seemed somewhat unable to withstand the heavenly tribulation triggered by the Mountain and River Fortune Map.
And this was just the beginning. Hundreds of streaks of light, carrying the power of destruction, fell continuously from the sky, crashing heavily onto the great formation.
After several waves of meteorites fell, the azure light of the great formation dimmed considerably, because the power within the Seal Formation had become negligible.
"Go, initiate the human sacrifice, immediately..." Jin Zhihuan roared from the city lord's mansion.
"Yes." Li Zhenye gritted his teeth and ran into the secret room.
Inside the secret chamber of the city lord's mansion, the Imperial Seal of the State was placed within a small array.
The formation has eight bronze dragon heads, with the jade seal floating in the very center of each dragon head.
Li Zhenye pressed the jade seal down heavily, and simultaneously, a bolt of lightning shot out from the eight dragon heads and entered the jade seal.
With a whoosh, the city walls surrounding Jinluo City suddenly collapsed, and the garrison standing around the city walls was torn to shreds by a beam of light that surged from the ground.
This is a human sacrifice...
There is another extremely terrifying feature in the Seal Array: when the power of the array is about to be exhausted, a human sacrifice is activated, and the array will draw blood from the people in the array and inject it into the array.
This is a sacrifice of blood, transformed into power, so that the formation can last longer.
Human sacrifices began at the edges and gradually moved towards the center, so those in the center of the formation were the safest, while the Red Sleeve Army guarding the outermost edge of the city were thus reduced to sacrificial offerings.
With the infusion of blood and soul, the azure light became more condensed than before, but meteorites continued to fall from the sky.
The dense meteorites kept falling, and the Seal Array didn't even have time to draw blood from those within it to replenish its strength.
Finally, a huge meteorite fell from the sky and crashed heavily into the very center of the formation.
Boom... The azure light that enveloped Jinluo City flickered a few times before shattering with a crash, and the great formation was broken.
As the formation was broken, countless meteorites rained down from the sky. Screams erupted throughout the city as countless buildings were struck down and countless people were killed, leaving no trace of their bodies.
A shower of meteorites fell, killing nearly two-thirds of the city's inhabitants.
The sky had completely darkened, and inky black clouds pressed down from the top of the clouds, illuminating the earth. The area within a ten-mile radius of Jinluo City looked as if the end of the world had arrived.
