The stone statue stopped vibrating after the withered grass appeared, but the shaking sounds around it did not stop, so everyone kept their eyes on it.

It was at this time that Mo Yin and his four companions, who had been missing for nearly half an hour, rose to a position parallel to the lake level along with the altar.

The vibration sound disappeared only after the four people stood firm.

"Look, they are fine. It seems that they were swept away on purpose. Now the altar has appeared. Has the sacrifice started?"

"Great Elder, we may begin now." At this moment, Mo Yin's voice cut through the layers of sound and reached the Great Elder's ears clearly.

The great elder, who was originally lying on the ground with all blood pale, shuddered suddenly after hearing Mo Yin's words. Looking at the altar that appeared in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"All elders, begin preparations for the sacrifice."

As soon as the voice fell, the sixteen elders divided into groups of eight, fighting against each other, and slowly walked towards the freshwater lake.

As expected, those restrictions did not have any effect on the elders. They reached the position that was in line with Mo Yin unimpeded and stopped.

Sixteen people marched together, and in a moment, the water on the lake seemed to be controlled by someone, extending from the center to both sides. Soon, a passage was formed. What was surprising was that there was a gravel road paved with sparkling stones under the lake.

The sixteen elders walked onto the gravel road at the same time, moving towards the altar step by step.

At the same time, Mo Qingge and Mo Qingyan, supported by Mo Yin and Mo Yuan, knelt in front of the stone statue with great respect.

With the help of the maids on both sides, Mo Yin and Mo Yuan brought the incense table to them. The two sisters kowtowed sixteen times in front of the incense table.

After bowing, the sixteen elders arrived at the altar. They thought the sacrifice was over, but unexpectedly it seemed to have just begun.

After the elders arrived, each of them took out a piece of white paper from their sleeves, sat down with their legs crossed, and began to recite the spells listed on it.

During this process, Mo Yin and Mo Yuan stood on either side of Mo Qingge and Mo Qingyan, and the two of them clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, knelt on the cushions, and silently listened to the spell baptism of the elders team behind them.

Although the sightseeing groups outside the restricted area could not hear any sound, they could see every item and every step clearly.

I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect such a boring sacrifice to end in just a quarter of an hour.

As soon as the sixteen elders stood up, a bell rang from the bell tower over there, loud enough to shake the entire empire. There were sixteen bells, and each one represented the hardships the goddess had gone through step by step. Sixteen bells meant sixteen years.

As soon as the sixteen bells rang, the sixteen elders stood up at the same time and walked towards Mo Qingge.

Mo Qingge knew what to do next and her face turned pale. Mo Qingyan, sensing her nervousness, immediately held her hand and encouraged her with her eyes, but there was deep worry in her eyes.

Even though Mo Yin and Mo Yuan felt distressed, they could do nothing at this moment. They could only watch as the sixteen elders lifted Mo Qingge up, walked around the incense table, and headed towards the stone statue.

"Look, how did they lift the goddess up? Where are they going to take her?"

The crowd was startled by the sudden action of the elders, and two people were the most nervous among them.

Just when one of them was about to rush forward regardless of everything, the other one grabbed his wrist tightly.

"No, you can't go over now. Not to mention the restrictions here, the dignity of the sacrificial ceremony alone allows us to violate it. Did you see that? Yuan'er took the initiative and didn't resist at all, which means she knew what to do next. Mo Yin and Mo Yuan were standing there. If there was really any danger, they wouldn't let her go like that."

"Taking the initiative? If she wasn't forced, how could she take the initiative? No, I can't let them treat my woman like this!"

"Your woman? Did she admit it? Also, this is her responsibility. Everything she does determines the life and death of the Goddess Clan. You can't act impulsively. If you create irreversible consequences out of your impulsiveness, she may never forgive you for the rest of her life!"

"Are you just going to let me just watch and do nothing?"

"What's wrong with just seeing what they're going to do? We're still not sure what they're going to do, why are you so excited?"

Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, people gasped: "Look, they put the goddess in the withered grass. What are they doing? Why are they kneeling down?"

It turned out that Mo Qingge was carried by the sixteen elders to the withered yellow grass in front of the stone statue. She was just buried in the grass, while everyone on the altar, including Mo Yin, knelt down.

At first they didn't understand what was happening, but when they saw the withered yellow grass instantly wrapping up the goddess like a poisonous snake, and bright red blood appeared on the withered yellow grass leaves, everyone was stunned.

"Oh my god, how can they be so cruel? Are they going to sacrifice the goddess to those grasses as a tribute?"

"Those grasses actually suck blood? What on earth is going on? Does anyone know? Come out and explain it quickly!"

When Wei Jie saw clearly what was happening on the stage, he shuddered and took two steps back. His pupils instantly turned blood red. This time, before Yu Hen beside him could react, he rushed out like a cannonball.

Unfortunately, his collision only hit the Mo Clan's restriction and bounced back. However, he did not give up. Instead, he kept hitting the restriction with his body like a madman.

He kept growling, "Let her go, let her go. I order you to let her go. Mo Yin, you bastard. She is your sister, your biological sister. How could you treat her like this? How could you treat her like this?"

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of the Mo clan guards. They leaped and came behind Wei Jie. Unexpectedly, before they could take any action, they were shocked away by the powerful spiritual power fluctuations from Wei Jie.

"Hiss!" The onlookers gasped, "He is so strong, who is this person?"
