Chapter 374 The Sacrifice Begins



"The demon race's Yutian realm is dead."

The gentle and calm voice spread out like water waves, clearly entering the Dragon King's mind.

Even though this was expected, the Dragon King still felt a bit hypocritically sad, as if the fox was mourning the death of the rabbit.

This trace of sadness did not last long.

Just two seconds later, the Dragon King's attention was once again focused on the arrangement of the sacrificial formation.

According to observations on the planet, the ghouls killed a large number of prey in a short period of time.

No matter how fast his digestion is, it would conservatively take five to seven days to completely convert this energy.

And this period of time is the Dragon King's last chance to overtake his opponent.

The huge dragon body emerged from the magma pool.

He commanded the remaining guards to arrange the magic arrays in different directions.

These guards are loyal enough that they won't think too much about why they do this.

All they had to do was know that this was the Dragon King's arrangement, and they would complete it step by step.

However, even with his personal guards responsible for some of the formation installation work, the Dragon King was still quite busy.

He had to set aside at least two days to digest the energy that would be dropped from the planet.

This means that a series of tasks such as setting up the magic circle and completing the sacrifice must be completed within about three or four days.

Time is too tight.

Like a time bomb about to explode, every minute and every second that passes is a step closer to death in the eyes of the Dragon King.

Under this suffocating pressure, he had no extra energy to think about how to cover up his actions.

As expected, the upper class in Chongming City soon noticed something unusual.

Regardless of the personal guards running around in the city now.

It was the order issued not long ago to summon all the leaders of the sea tribe settlements.

These behaviors all revealed a hint of weirdness.

However, the gates of the Dragon Palace were closed, and the Dragon King even stopped his court meetings.

They had no idea how all this happened.

In addition, the Dragon King is the only powerful Sky Controlling Realm expert among the Sea Clan.

His strength and status made these high-ranking officials and nobles dare not provoke him easily.

Although these people are keen on fighting for power and profit, their minds have not been completely corrupted by greed.

The death of the crown prince simply means that the Dragon Spirit royal family has lost its heir.

So, what they are doing now is more about secretly planning for the allocation of resources for the next generation decades later.

The family is permanent, but the king is transient.

They firmly believe this.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, these people neither want to interfere with the Dragon King's actions nor want to be interfered with by the Dragon King.

So, these dignitaries who thought they were smart chose an approach that was most in their interest at the time.

Turn a blind eye.

In this way, the guards moved freely and unscrupulously in Chongming City.

They placed trigger devices everywhere and added formation nodes to the glass street lamps that were used daily throughout the city.

However, the dignitaries turned a blind eye to all this, as if these things had nothing to do with them.

Finally, in the evening three days later, the last formation node was installed.

At the same time, dozens of leaders of large and small sea tribe settlements also came to Chongming City with their guards.

The reason they were so obedient was that the content of the decree made it impossible for them to refuse.

The Dragon King’s original words were: This king is well aware that the royal family has no heir. For the continuation of the sea clan, in three days, everyone will arrive at Chongming City to receive their fiefdoms.

Although it is not clear what made the Dragon King make the decision to divide the land.

But the leaders of these settlements simply could not refuse the word "legitimate".

Imagine if almost everyone went to Chongming City, except for one person.

Then, the person who didn't go will become the target of public criticism.

Others have every reason to use this as an excuse to launch an attack.

Considering this, naturally no one chose not to go.

Once they go, in order to avoid being robbed and killed along the way, the leaders must bring an elite force to escort them.

Dozens of elite troops have flocked to Chongming City, which is no small number.

At this moment, in the large formation covering Chongming City and its surrounding two kilometers, hundreds of thousands of sea creatures had no idea that they were about to be sacrificed.

The blood-red setting sun shines on the sea, but its light cannot penetrate the cold water.

Night falls.

Inside the Dragon Palace, glazed palace lanterns are dotted like stars among the elegant but somewhat desolate pavilions and towers.

The soft light of these palace lanterns made everything in the palace sparkle, as if returning to the time before the war.

Leaders from various settlements walked in this magnificent palace.

Their attention was attracted by the scenery of the surrounding Dragon Palace, and there was a look of amazement in their eyes.

However, the object of their amazement was more the power represented by the Dragon Palace than the Dragon Palace itself.

Greed spread in their eyes without any concealment.

These people had just recently successfully seized decision-making power in their own settlement.

The taste of power makes their desire burn like a flame.

To the extent that they even began to covet this Dragon Palace.

Imagine that you can become the master here, with endless wealth and power.

The sea creatures filed in and gathered in the palace where the banquet would be held tonight.

Inside the palace, a grand banquet has been set out, with a wide variety of delicacies that are mouth-watering.

The wine was poured out after three rounds of drinking.

Amidst the laughter and joy of the people, in this lively atmosphere, no one noticed the changes outside the Dragon Palace.
