Chapter 175 The Beginning of Chaos, the Interrupted Ceremony

Longyao City, an unknown dark place.

In the ruins that have been excavated, it was discovered that a cruel ritual was indeed taking place here.

The ruthless man stood outside the Yi Market, watching coldly as his men escorted unconscious people into the Yi Market one by one, his expression without the slightest fluctuation.

"ah"

“Ahh.”

Faint screams could be heard from inside the Yi Market, telling others what kind of dark activities were going on inside.

But the ruthless man remained unmoved and watched everything coldly.

Next to him, a subordinate was reporting the process to him diligently.

"There are already more than 400 members of the royal bloodline involved in the ritual, but the effect of the blood sacrifice is still minimal, and the seal in the ruins has not been shaken."

The subordinate's report made the ruthless man frown deeply.

"Four hundred people have been deployed, but there is still no effect?" The fierce man said expressionlessly: "What is going on?"

Although there was no expression on the fierce man's face, his subordinates still felt a chill, which made him sweat profusely.

He knew that the ruthless man was anxious and angry.

If he failed to give an accurate response, then his fate might not be much better than that of the Wang family members.

This put a lot of pressure on the subordinates.

Fortunately, the subordinate has been working for the ruthless man for a long time, and at this time, he can at least give a reasonable response.

"The ritual has little effect, and the most fundamental reasons are nothing more than two."

The subordinate reported in a low voice.

"First, the 'blood' used as a sacrifice is not good enough, and second, the 'sword' doesn't seem to be in good condition."

Hearing this, the ruthless man's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What's going on?"

The fierce man looked at his subordinates.

Subordinates report truthfully.

"Perhaps because the 'blood' used in the ritual is only from a collateral branch and is not high enough, the ritual is slow to start."

"Furthermore, the 'sword' that was sent over from the headquarters had been sealed before, and now it is suddenly used as a medium for unsealing, so the flow of power is not smooth enough."

"Of course, it is also possible that the grave-keeping clan deliberately left some protection mechanism when they set up the seal, so that the ritual cannot directly affect it."

In other words, in order for the ritual to run smoothly, it becomes necessary to unlock the seal in the ruins and solve the problems mentioned above.

The fierce man also paused.

"If that's the case, then we need to adjust the status of the "sword" and "blood" first."

The problem with the "sword" is not a big deal. It's just that it was sealed before and is now "half asleep and half awake". As long as some means are used, it should not be difficult to awaken the dormant power in the "sword".

If it's "blood", then we have to solve the problem at the source.

The ruthless man also knew about the situation of the Wang family.

He knew that the Wang family had always demoted clan members whose bloodline was not high enough to be side branches. Only clan members whose bloodline was pure and strong enough could become direct members who led the entire family.

In other words, "It's not enough to use the blood of the collateral line, must the blood of the direct line be used to make the ritual truly work and remove the seal of the "King"? "

The fierce man's frown gradually relaxed.

"In that case, let's send Wang Xiao and his precious daughter to the altar in the ritual market."

The ruthless man gave these orders to his subordinates.

"But." The subordinate hesitated and said, "The two direct descendants of the Wang family seem to have some connection with the families that sealed the "Wang" in the first place. The people of those families have been paying attention to the situation of the Wang family for generations. I wonder if the direct descendants of the Wang family have left life lamps or other things with those families. If they suddenly died, those families would probably be aware of the movement here."

The so-called life lamp refers to an alchemical item that can establish a connection with life itself. As long as the life connected continues, the fire on the lamp will not go out.

This kind of alchemical tool is particularly widely used among large families and powerful forces. As long as a younger generation with important bloodline and important potential is born, these family forces will connect them to life lamps so that they can know at any time whether they are in danger.

This kind of alchemical tool is almost impossible to find in the four major base cities, but it is common in those powerful base cities in the hinterland of the continent.

The families mentioned by the subordinates hold important positions in several powerful base cities in the heart of the continent and have prominent status.

They may not be afraid of any force from the four major coastal bases, and they are not even afraid of the base cities themselves, but they have to fear the threats from those super hunter families with a long history, powerful background, and whose depth is completely unknown.

If they really take action, things will become more troublesome.

Therefore, the ruthless man had always kept the lives of the two direct descendants of the Wang family and did not touch them.

It seems that we have no choice but to move.

"As long as the 'King' can escape successfully and lift the seal, what does it matter if those big families come in person?"

The ruthless man said this coldly.

Although the "King" was sealed by those big families, in order to seal the "King", the ancestors of those families also suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a significant reduction in the family's power.

Nowadays, although those major families have recuperated for many years and have recovered to their former heyday, the ruthless man feels that it is unlikely for the other party to seal the "King" again.

Ultimately, it remains unknown whether those major families are willing to follow the example of their ancestors and make such a great sacrifice in order to deal with the "King".

What's more, even if it really came to that, the other party would not come out in full force at the very beginning to deal with the "King", right?

As long as you don't re-seal the "King" at the beginning when he is still weak, it will not be so easy to seal him again after the "King" leaves.

In a nutshell, although there are some risks, they are worth taking.

Besides, do you really think that the people on their side are made of mud and pose no threat at all?

"Do as I tell you." The fierce man said, "Prepare the blood for me, and I will deal with the sword."

"Yes." The subordinate no longer had any objections and took the order respectfully.

Just as the ruthless man was preparing to take action, an accident happened.

“Buzz——!”

Suddenly, there was a heart-pounding tremor in the Yi Market.

"Boom boom"

The ruins began to shake.

Waves of bloody light caused the atmosphere in the entire space to tremble violently and distort frequently.

The fierce man had just taken a step when a sudden abnormality almost made him lose his balance.

“What’s going on!?”

The fierce man quickly steadied himself and stood up in shock.

He didn't know at the moment that just now, a firework rose into the sky above Longyao City.

Longyao City, Jinghu District, Xu Qianqian’s villa.

In the open space of the villa, Su Ming held up the obstruction Yanbo and confirmed with Xu Qianqian again.

"I'll say it again. Once the Hindering Smoke Wave is released, not only various rituals will be hindered, but also the refining of extraordinary items such as alchemical potions, alchemical tools, and alchemical weapons will be hindered, and then out of control or even fail. Are you sure you want to use it directly?"

Su Ming said this to Xu Qianqian.

"Let it go." Xu Qianqian said calmly, "I think that in this extraordinary period, my father and the others will not have any objection to this."

"You said that." Su Ming said nonchalantly, "If there is any major loss in the alchemy business in Longyao City, I will not be responsible."

You didn't intend to take responsibility, did you? Xu Qianqian didn't say this.

She knew that Su Ming wouldn't care about this.

It's just a minor loss. Compared with the chaos that may soon occur in Longyao City and the things that are closely related to oneself, what does it matter?

Su Ming's idea is undoubtedly somewhat detrimental to others and not beneficial to himself, but there is no way around it. Compared to the property of insignificant people, Su Ming definitely cares more about himself and the people around him.

Xu Qianqian only cares about one thing.

"How long can this smoke-blocking effect last?"

Xu Qianqian is also doing this kind of confirmation.

"About three days?" Su Ming was not sure, so he could only say: "This smoke-blocking weapon is of good quality, so the effect shouldn't be too short."

Xu Qianqian nodded and asked, "Are you sure that the obstruction smoke wave can cover the entire Longyao City?"

"It's almost certain." Su Ming's tone was more certain this time, and he said, "The magnetic dust that is blocking the smoke wave will spread. Unless there is a sudden typhoon and rainstorm that blows the magnetic dust away, it will only take about half an hour for the magnetic dust to spread to the entire Longyao City."

Xu Qianqian nodded again and said no more.

"Mi Ling!"

Xiao Hai'er was held in Xu Qianqian's arms, looking at Su Ming with some curiosity, as if he didn't know what Su Ming was going to do.

Su Ming ignored Xiao Haier.

"Then I'll let you go."

Su Ming turned around and faced the night sky.

Then, Su Ming pulled the trigger to let the fireworks rise into the sky.

“Bang!”

Under the night sky, a bright firework suddenly bloomed.

The obstructive magnetic dust spread out and gradually enveloped the entire base city.

Relics, ritual market.

At this time, the ruthless man stood in front of the altar in the ritual market with an ugly look on his face.

Beside him, subordinates dressed in black gathered one by one, bringing bad news one after another.

"The ritual suddenly stopped functioning, as if it had been obstructed by something and could no longer be started."

"The sacrifices suddenly regained consciousness and began to attack the altar. We lost a lot of people and the altar was also damaged. We must repair it before we can continue the ceremony."

"The ritual went out of control, causing parts of the ruins to collapse, and now many roads are blocked."

“We might lose contact with the outside world.”

Like this, bad news one after another was sent to the ruthless man, making him look extremely ugly.

And this is not the worst news.

The next second, a subordinate ran over in a panic.

"Deputy Captain, the 'sword' in the center of the altar seems to have been taken away by Miss Wang, who just took the opportunity to escape. She and the sword are missing!"

As soon as these words came out of the subordinate's mouth, his body exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the ground red and filling the air with the smell of blood.

The fierce man maintained the posture of extending his hand, unable to conceal his anger any longer.

"Find them for me!" the fierce man said coldly, "Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find both the man and the sword for me!"

"yes!"

The subordinates responded one by one and dispersed in all directions.

The fierce man still had a gloomy face.

"Why did the ceremony suddenly go out of control and become like this?"

The ruthless man was thinking about such things.

Someone answered him.

"Someone must have done it on purpose."

Along with these words, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was the powerful man in black who had severely injured Xiao Haier and prevented him from returning to the Spirit Demon Prison.

"Man-made?" The fierce man was stunned for a moment, then his face became even gloomier, and he asked, "What did you find?"

"A little sign." The black-clothed warrior said, "Just now, there seemed to be a special magnetic fluctuation."

"Magnetic fluctuations?" The fierce man asked in a questioning tone, "What kind of magnetic fluctuations can cause our ritual to go out of control?"

"Not sure." The black-clothed warrior said calmly, "But what is certain is that our actions have been noticed by the people in Longyao City. Perhaps this is a measure they took to deal with us."

"Longyao City" The fierce man said with a gloomy face: "It seems that those people don't want this base city to exist anymore."

Obviously, the ruthless man had already developed murderous intentions towards this base city.

With his ability, it is not impossible for him to gather forces to capture Longyao City.

The strong man in black was not as angry as the fierce man, but rather very calm.

"This magnetic fluctuation should not be permanent, and may have a time limit." The black-clothed strong man said: "It is not clear how long it will last, but the fluctuation is not very strong, and it will only last for two or three days at most before it loses its effect."

I have to say that this powerful man in black is quite capable, as he even noticed this.

Unfortunately, the ruthless man didn't care about this matter.

He was more concerned about the whereabouts of "blood" and "sword".

As long as the "blood" and the "sword" are not found, the ceremony cannot proceed even if it is not disturbed.

The strong man in black also saw the ruthless man's thoughts and said something.

"Do you need my help?"

Hearing this, the ruthless man nodded without hesitation.

"Your detection ability is world-class. With your help, Miss Wang would not have escaped from the ruins with the "sword"."

Obviously, the ruthless man has great confidence in the abilities of the strong man in black.

It was precisely because the strong man in black had strong detection capabilities that he was able to find Xiao Haier before.

"Okay." The black-clothed warrior nodded and said, "I also want to see the rebirth of the "King" as soon as possible."

After saying this, the strong man in black turned and left.

The fierce man watched the other person leave, then lowered his eyes.

"No matter who it is, if you dare to hinder me, I will make you pay the price."

The ruthless man took out his cell phone and contacted his partner.

If it was him, he should have some information.
