Mu Wanqing was utterly astonished!
The girl who was about to be burned to death in front of them actually had a Heaven-rank Immortal Root and eight Earth-rank Immortal Roots!
Such talent, just like his own father's.
It's a pity that this girl was born on this fragmented continent. If she could have lived in the Central Continent, where immortal energy is abundant, she might already be at the Qi Condensation stage by now.
The old man sighed and said, "Bai Su started cultivating at the age of 12 and is only 18 years old now. In just 6 years, she has already reached the 3rd level of Body Refinement! She is hailed as the most likely genius girl in the family to break through to the Core Formation Realm and become a Nascent Soul Realm. It's a pity that she was born on January 10th."
Lin Caogen angrily said, "This is utter nonsense! Isn't this treating human life like dirt?"
The old man retorted angrily, "What nonsense! What can we do if the gods are angry? If we don't offer sacrifices to the girls born on January 10th, the gods will punish us!"
Mu Wanqing said, "Grassroots! Don't rush things before you understand the situation!"
Lin Caogen's brain began to work at lightning speed. He was trying to figure out what had caused these ignorant people to develop the tradition of burning women as sacrifices to the gods.
The sky is getting darker and darker!
Bai Su was tied to the flagpole, tears streaming down her face!
She still had so many dreams to realize! It's just a pity that she's going to be burned alive today!
Bai Dicheng, the patriarch of the Bai family, was already at the peak of the Core Formation stage, but he was also crying his heart out!
He poured so much heart and soul into his daughter. When she was born, he killed everyone around him to keep her birth date a secret!
Unfortunately, it was eventually reported by someone else!
Baidi City also didn't want his daughter to die tragically! Unfortunately, the other nine major families didn't want to see their daughters grow up.
Lin Caogen also noticed the man around him who was crying the most. The man was dressed in a white robe and had a very dignified air, but unfortunately, he was already weeping uncontrollably.
The sky grew completely dark! The stars twinkled in the universe.
Suddenly a woman ran madly to the dock.
"My daughter! My poor daughter! Susu! My poor Susu!"
This person was none other than Bai Su's mother, Lin Daiyu. Unfortunately, no matter how much she cried, no one sympathized with her.
The guards from the nine major families around her stopped Lin Daiyu from getting close to the wooden boat filled with firewood and fish oil.
Bai Dicheng immediately pulled his wife into his arms.
He truly wished he could kill that celestial being at this moment! And wipe out the remaining nine great families! However, even as a powerful expert at the peak of the Core Formation stage, he was powerless to do so.
He had a daughter late in life and cherished her dearly! But alas, fate had other plans, and tonight he will have to bury his daughter.
Mu Wanqing whispered, "I've observed them secretly! There are at least 10 experts at the eighth or ninth level of the Core Formation stage around here, and there's even a peak Core Formation expert among them. This girl is pitiful, but with our strength, we can't save her at all. Even if the sect leader himself came, he couldn't fight against so many late-stage Core Formation experts by himself! It's a pity that Uncle Feng can't enter this fragmented continent, otherwise, with Uncle Feng's Nascent Soul stage cultivation, rescuing Bai Su would be a piece of cake."
Lin Caogen couldn't bear it. Was this beautiful young woman just supposed to wait to be burned to death?
Unfortunately, his black and gold armor had already run out of energy, making it impossible to activate it now!
Fang Xiaoru also sighed and said, "Human strength has its limits. Even if all ten of our Wuwei Sect's Core Formation stage disciples were here, we still wouldn't be able to contend with these people! A peak Core Formation stage expert is enough to withstand all of our attacks, not to mention there are so many late-stage Core Formation stage experts here."
Lin Caogen gazed at the distant sky, lost in thought!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt flashed!
Mu Wanqing and Fang Xiaoru were completely stunned!
Suddenly, a celestial palace was illuminated by the thunder!
Everyone shouted wildly, "The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds has appeared! The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds! The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds!"
All the fishermen and the ignorant masses knelt on the ground! Even the few cultivators at the late and peak stages of the Core Formation realm knelt down.
Although Baidi City was kneeling on the ground, his mind was already twisted!
Countless young girls have been sacrificed over the centuries! Now that this has happened to the Bai family, it's truly a calamity that has befallen them! He doesn't care about gods or anything like that; as long as there's a way to save his daughter, he's willing to risk his life!
The Song family patriarch, Emperor Renzong, said, "Everyone, do not panic. The Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Peak has appeared. Immediately burn the maiden as a sacrifice to the gods!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding ignorant masses began to cheer: "Burn the maiden as a sacrifice to the gods! Burn the maiden as a sacrifice to the gods!"
The ignorant masses keep shouting!
Emperor Renzong of Song, the head of the Song family, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming a rocket at the wooden boat.
With a whoosh!
The rocket was launched and struck the center of the ship!
The dry wood immediately began to burn! The entire ship burst into flames, and the fire swept towards the girl tied to the sail.
Just as everyone was cheering and jumping for joy, thunder roared from the sky.
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck the crowd directly, instantly burning and electrocuting hundreds of people!
The screams were incessant.
Mu Wanqing was also stunned. She never expected such a strange phenomenon to descend from the sky. If that thick lightning had struck her, she would have been dead without a doubt.
Chaos erupted at the dock, and more and more lightning bolts struck, engulfing the entire sea in light!
The ignorant masses began to shout!
"Quickly burn her to death to appease the wrath of the gods!"
Everyone hoped the fire would grow bigger and burn the white butter to death! Only then could the wrath of the gods be appeased and peace restored to the world!
Just as the flames were about to reach the fish oil jar at Bai Su's feet, a figure suddenly jumped into the water!
Everyone was caught in a mix of panic and excitement. At that moment, seeing someone jump into the sea, no one cared!
