Chapter 203: The Sacrifice to Unlock the Seal
“————”
quiet.
Deathly silence.
At this moment, no matter who it was, whether it was the steady Bai Ruxiang or the scheming Xu Yanyan, their minds were blanked by the news suddenly revealed by Wang Yihan and they were unable to react.
Even Su Ming's face behind the mask showed deep astonishment.
No one could have imagined that Wang Yihan would suddenly reveal such a shocking secret, and no one could have imagined that such a scary thing was hidden in the land of Longyao City.
A phantom demon king is sealed under this land.
No.
To be more precise, it should be said that a Phantom Demon King is sealed under this relic.
That was the devil who had turned the earth into a purgatory.
It is a terrifying existence that can only be sealed up by all the power of an entire era.
As far as Su Ming knows, there has only been one such person from ancient times to the present.
It has been mentioned in the past that in the distant past, a terrifying creature came from the Demonic Prison and descended into the human world.
Its power is extremely terrifying. It can easily move mountains and fill the sea, cause the sky to collapse, and the earth to crack. It can be said to be a natural disaster itself, leaving the entire human race helpless.
In the human world, only four-star professionals can barely deal with a dangerous species, only five-star professionals can defeat a dangerous species, six-star professionals can barely deal with a nightmare species, and only the highest star level seven-star professionals can defeat a nightmare species. This is something that everyone in the professional circle knows.
But the only thing that matters is the terrifying species, which is at the end of the evolution of the phantom demon. It is the strongest and most terrifying existence in the Demon Prison. Even the most powerful group of professionals cannot deal with it.
He is already the true king of the Spirit Demon Prison, the pinnacle of the Phantom Demon. Even among all the Phantom Demon life species, it is hard to say how many individuals can successfully evolve to this level.
Therefore, throughout the ages, there has only been one terrifying species that crossed the Spirit Demon Prison and came to the human world.
But it was this person who almost caused the destruction of the entire human race, and the human species almost disappeared completely.
Some people claim that the earth in that era was a dead place and a desolate place.
The Phantom Demon King who came from across the world did not even need to summon his subordinates or lead an army. He could destroy everything in his path with his own strength alone.
As a result, base cities fell one after another, and countless humans died in that disaster. It can be said to be the biggest crisis in human history.
Later, after the desperate struggle of the human beings at that time, the strongest group of humans also sacrificed their lives and gave up everything. Only after paying a huge price, they sealed this only terrifying species.
This is a major event that is clearly recorded in history books. Although many people do not take this period of history seriously due to its long history, it is a true historical fact.
Of course, there are also many people who treat this historical fact as a myth.
In other words, in this era, the majority of people treat this historical fact as a myth or legend.
Now, Wang Yihan told Su Ming and others that this matter was not only true, but also that the legendary King of Phantom Demons, the only terrifying species to appear in history, was sealed here.
How can this not be shocking and horrifying?
"Are you kidding?"
I don’t know who is whispering like this.
But Wang Yihan shook his head and confirmed this fact.
"Our Wang family is actually a branch of the family that the heroes who sealed the Phantom Demon King belonged to. We were sent to this land by the family and were given the mission of protecting this land and guarding the seal."
This is a secret that only the direct descendants of the Wang family know.
"The ancestors of the Wang family have guarded the seal and the ruins on this land for generations. Even their tombs are built on the ruins. Even if they are buried here, they will become heroic spirits and continue to guard this place."
"So, our Wang family was once called the tomb-guarding family by those in the hinterland of the continent. We guard not only our own tomb, but also the tomb of the Phantom Demon King who was sealed here."
"After that, the Wang family gradually built new homes together with the people who arrived on this land and constructed this base city."
This is the origin of Longyao City and the true meaning of its existence.
This base city was built on the seal and is the lid on the seal.
The Wang family has guarded this place for generations, and until today, they have not forgotten this mission.
However. "Someone wants to break this seal and release the Phantom Demon King who is sealed here."
Wang Yihan’s narration shocked everyone.
Everyone knew who Wang Yihan was referring to.
"Are they the ones who committed the crime?" Xu Yanyan asked in shock, "Are they crazy? How dare they do such a thing?"
That is a terrifying species standing at the top of the phantom demons, the true king of the spirit demon prison, a disaster that can ravage the earth and completely wipe out the human race! Although the people of "Sin" are all underground professionals, they are also human beings, and the phantom demons are also their natural enemies.
Now, they actually want to release the most terrifying phantom demon and let it revive on the earth?
By then, when the human race becomes extinct, they will also disappear along with it!
Could they still expect the bloodthirsty phantom demons not to attack their tasty prey? It was impossible! If that was the case, why did they do this? Unfortunately, even Wang Yihan couldn't answer this question.
“I don’t know why they did this!” Wang Yihan said with tears in his eyes, “But they really wanted to unlock the seal here, so they held a ceremony and used our Wang family as living sacrifices!”
Hearing this, Bai Ruxiang couldn't help but speak.
"In other words, the ceremony those people performed in this ruins was actually used to remove the seal?"
Bai Ruxiang's words shocked everyone present.
But, that seems to be the case.
"If you want to lift the seal, the blood of our Wang family is inevitable."
Wang Yihan's words were not something she thought out herself, but something her father told her.
"My father told me that our clan of tomb keepers inherited the blood of the human heroes who cast the seal. Therefore, if we want to unlock the seal here, we must use the blood of our Wang family."
Moreover, the blood must be of sufficiently high purity. It does not have to reach the level of the human hero who cast the seal in the first place, but it cannot be too far off.
After all, bloodline is something that will eventually change as it is constantly inherited and passed down.
The Wang family is also introducing foreign bloodlines. It is impossible to keep their own bloodline the same as before.
Only direct descendants of the Wang family strive for highly pure blood, and only family members with blood purity that passes the test can be included, otherwise they will be demoted to side branches, which makes their blood a necessity for lifting the seal.
The people of "Sin" didn't know about this, but they also knew that if they wanted to lift the seal, the blood of the Wang family would have to be used.

So they attacked the Wang family, captured a large number of Wang family members, and used them as living sacrifices, sacrificing them in the ceremony to lift the seal.
But the blood of the collateral relatives is not pure enough, and even if there are more people, the seal cannot be completely removed.
In the end, they targeted the only two remaining direct descendants of the Wang family, Wang Xiao and Wang Yihan.
"If the ceremony had not been interrupted for unknown reasons, perhaps we would have become living sacrifices, and the terrifying Phantom Demon King would have broken free from his seal."
Having said that, Wang Yihan hugged the sword tightly in his arms again.
"This was the only chance God gave us to resist, so my father chose to sacrifice himself to prevent the "evil" people from succeeding, and sent me away."
In this way, Wang Yihan became the only sacrifice that could be used to lift the seal.
Everyone present immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
"So, the seal hasn't been lifted yet, right?"
Xu Yanyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Moreover, as long as Miss Wang is not captured by the 'evil' person, the seal cannot be lifted."
Bai Ruxiang also calmed down and instantly understood the key point.
Su Ming knew what she meant.
"It seems that we must protect you and not let you fall into the hands of the 'evil' people."
Su Ming's gaze fell on Wang Yihan.
He understood that this was the only way to stop "evil".
Of course, others don't think so.
For example, Xu Yanyan's eyes flickered slightly.
She really wanted to say that since Wang Yihan was the only sacrifice that could lift the seal now, if Wang Yihan disappeared, this dangerous and terrible seal would never be lifted.
But she still didn't say this.
Because, this is really inappropriate.
The ancestor of the Wang family is the founder of Longyao City and is also a descendant of a hero. The Wang family has been guarding this important seal from generation to generation without any regrets, and has made countless sacrifices for this.
If we were to destroy these descendants of heroes inhumanely just to prevent the seal from being lifted, then that would be a bit unreasonable.
Unless there is really no other way Xu Yanyan had some dangerous thoughts in her mind, and then she quickly shook it off.
In order to prevent dangerous thoughts from arising again, Xu Yanyan chose to change the subject.
"So what should we do now?"
Xu Yanyan's question made everyone turn their heads and look at Su Ming.
As the only senior professional here, Su Ming undoubtedly became the leader of the group.
Now that the secret of the ruins has been revealed, everyone has their own ideas about what to do next, but it still depends on Su Ming's decision.
But Su Ming didn't even hesitate.
"Take this young lady from the Wang family with you and leave this ruins immediately and go back to join the others."
Su Ming made this decision without hesitation.
This matter is of great importance. Even he doesn't dare to act alone now.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to escort Wang Yihan out of here and hand him over to the major forces in Longyao City for centralized protection.
Only in this way can we prevent the infringement of "evil" and the implementation of the plan to the greatest extent.
What a pity. "It's a pity that you have to stay here."
When such a voice was heard, the depression and heaviness in the air finally broke out completely.
