Chapter 1122: Inheritance Fragments
"Demon fragments!" Luo Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
What shocked her even more was that beneath the altar, there were hundreds of corpses lying, their blood flowing into streams and being absorbed by the altar.
Those corpses were all people from the North!
"Beast!" Yuwen Xuan's eyes were bloodshot and he was about to rush forward.
Luo Li stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive!"
Bai Feng suddenly pressed Luo Li's shoulder and whispered, "Southeast corner of the altar."
Luo Li glanced over and her pupils suddenly contracted - Xue Sha was stabbing a bone knife into the heart of the last living sacrifice.
As blood gushed out, the demon fragments on the altar suddenly made a sharp sound, and spider-web-like blood patterns cracked on the dark surface.
"They are activating the inheritance fragments!" Feng Yan's palms burst into flames. "We must stop them!"
But it was too late. A shadowy figure slowly emerged from the blood-red beam of light—a demonic figure wearing a skull crown opened its eyes, and the snow on the entire Arctic ice sheet instantly vaporized.
"Welcome, Lord Demon!" All the men in black robes knelt down enthusiastically.
However, under the fanatical gazes of everyone in the Demon God Temple, the fragments of the Demon God turned into afterimages and rushed straight into the sky.
Luo Li clenched her fist, "Ninth Heaven..."
Feng Yan and the others also looked solemn, "Damn it, we're too late!"
Luo Li exhaled, "Just a fragment can't activate the Demon God's inheritance, but from today on, they can't get any more inheritance fragments."
Feng Yan and the others nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Yuwen Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at the people from the Demon God Temple who were somewhat puzzled as they watched the inheritance fragments leave. "Lord Luo, these people from the Demon God Temple?"
Luo Li raised her chin and said, "Of course, kill him. This altar cannot be left alive either."
As soon as he finished speaking, the true fire at Feng Yan's fingertips suddenly surged, and the red flames turned into nine fire phoenixes that pounced on the altar.
Those kneeling black-robed men were engulfed by the flames before they could react, and they let out shrill screams.
Bai Feng unsheathed his sword, and the golden sword light poured down like a galaxy, instantly cutting off the heads of the three men in black robes.
Blood splattered on the altar, but was strangely absorbed.
"Be careful of the altar!" Luo Li warned sternly, and at the same time, the Xuan Yue Sword swept across, and the ice-blue sword energy froze the two attackers into ice sculptures.
Xue Sha stood in the center of the altar and smiled coldly, "Luo Li, do you think stopping this will change anything?"
He formed seals with his hands, and the altar suddenly shook violently. Countless blood-red chains sprang out from the ground and wrapped around everyone.
“Stand back!”
Luo Li clasped her hands together, activated the law of space, and teleported everyone a hundred meters away.
"boom!"
The blood-red chain missed, leaving dozens of deep grooves in the ground.
Feng Yan narrowed his eyes, "There's something strange about this altar. It's absorbing our attacks."
Bai Feng said coldly: "I will break the formation."
He pointed his sword to the sky and chanted ancient spells.
Golden runes spread from the sword to the entire body, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in holy light.
"Heavenly Punishment—Destroy Evil!"
The sword light turned into a giant blade hundreds of feet long and slashed fiercely towards the altar.
“Crack!”
Cracks appeared on the surface of the altar, and Xue Sha's face changed, "How is this possible?!"
Luo Li seized the opportunity, and the Xuan Yue Sword flew out of her hand, splitting into thousands of sword shadows in the air.
A rain of swords poured down, and the already damaged altar could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Xue Sha crushed the teleportation talisman at the last moment, and his resentful voice echoed in the wind and snow, "Luo Li, we will meet again..."
With the destruction of the altar, the demonic energy of the Arctic Icefield gradually dissipated, and the bodies of the black-robed men were reduced to ashes by the true fire of the Phoenix Flame.
Yuwen Xuan knelt before the bodies of the people of the Northern Territory and pounded his fists into the ice, "These beasts!"
Luo Li walked up to him and whispered, "My condolences. The most urgent task is to notify all major forces and put them on full alert against the Demon God Temple."
Feng Yan put away the flames and said solemnly, "The fragments of the Demon God have appeared in the world. I am afraid that the actions of the Demon God Temple will become more and more frequent in the future. The continent is about to change."
Bai Feng suddenly looked into the distance, "Someone is coming."
In the wind and snow, several figures came rushing over.
The leader was the King of the North, followed by Lan Xiaoxiao, Mu Ze and others.
"Ali!" Lan Xiaoxiao ran over quickly and gasped when she saw the corpses on the ground. "This is..."
The King of the North closed his eyes in sorrow, then said firmly, "The Demon God Temple must pay the price for this."
Luo Li nodded, "Let's go back and discuss this. Also..." She looked at Bai Feng and Feng Yan, "I would also like you two seniors to notify the leaders of other forces and discuss countermeasures together."
Feng Yan curled his lips, "Of course."
Bai Feng said calmly, "The Covenant of the Gods has been established, and Jiuding Academy will naturally give its full support."
People from other forces also echoed.
Not long after returning to Frost City, Feng Yan and the others left.
Luo Li also left a batch of elixirs and asked Song Wanbai to help repair the city defense formations of the cities in the northern border.
Luo Li stood on the towering city wall of Frost City, looking at the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance, with a trace of solemnity between her brows.
The cold wind from the north blew up her silver cloak, making it rustle.
"Ari, the city defense formation has been repaired." Song Wanbai walked over quickly, holding a formation disk that shimmered with an icy blue light. "According to the elixir formula you left behind, we added 'Mysterious Ice Condensation Dew' to the center of the formation. Now the defense of the formation has increased by 30% compared to before."
Luo Li took the array disk and gently stroked the intricate array patterns with her fingertips, feeling the majestic spiritual energy flowing through it. She nodded slightly, "Well done. The Northern Territory is currently suffering greatly. Although the Demon God Palace will not attack the Northern Territory again in the short term, we must ensure that the city defense array is foolproof."
The King of the Northern Territory dodged and landed on the city wall. He looked at Luo Li with a smile, "Lord Luo, are you going back to Buli City?"
Luo Li nodded, "Now that the North is clear, it's time for us to head back."
The King of the Northern Territory pondered for a moment, then solemnly bowed and said, "This time, thanks to the Lord of Luo City who saved the day, the entire Northern Territory will remember this. If needed, the Northern Territory will be at your disposal at any time."
Luo Li's lips curled up slightly, her black hair dancing lightly in the wind. "The North has now joined the Covenant of the Gods and is already an ally of Buli City. However, the King of the North should be more careful. Even though the Demon God Palace has retreated, there is no guarantee that they will not secretly cause chaos."
The King of the Northern Territory smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you, City Lord Luo."
"No need to thank me," Luo Li waved her hand, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I want to ask you for something."
The King of the Northern Territory was stunned for a moment, then said without hesitation, "Lord Luo, please speak."
After a while, after getting what she wanted, Luo Li was satisfied and took Lan Xiaoxiao, Song Wanbai, Mu Ze and the disciples of Bulicheng into the teleportation array.
——
Never leave the city.
Shi Heng and his companions were already waiting in the central square when they received the news that Luo Li and her companions were returning to the city.
Soon, the teleportation array shone brightly, and the figures of Luo Li and the others appeared.
"You're back," Shi Heng came forward, his eyes sweeping over the slightly tired faces of the crowd, and patted Mu Ze's shoulder with a smile, "You've finally returned safely from your trip to the northern border. The City Lord's Mansion has prepared a celebration banquet, and we're waiting for you all to join us."
