Longyao City, an unknown dark place.

In the ruins that have been unearthed, a cruel ceremony is indeed carried out here.

The ruthless man stood outside the market, watching coldly as his subordinates pushed the unconscious people into the market, his expression did not fluctuate at all.

"what..."

"Ah..."

The faint screams came from the inside of the market, telling others what kind of dark acts were going on inside.

But the ruthless man remained unmoved, looking at everything coldly.

Beside him, a subordinate is doing his due diligence on the reporting process.

"There are more than 400 people in the blood of the Wang family who have invested in the ceremony, but the effect of the blood sacrifice ceremony is still minimal, and the seal in the ruins has not been shaken."

The subordinate's report made the fierce man's brows wrinkle deeply.

"We've already invested 400 people, but it still hasn't worked?" The fierce man said blankly, "What's going on?"

Although there was no expression on the ruthless 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 you can't make an accurate reply, then waiting for your end may not be much better than those of the Wang family.

This made the subordinates feel great pressure.

Fortunately, it is no longer a day or two's subordinate to work beside the ruthless man. At this time, at least he can give a reasonable reply.

"The effect of the ritual is minimal, and the most fundamental reasons are nothing more than two."

Subordinates report in a low voice.

"One is that the "blood" used as a sacrifice is not qualified, and the other is that the state of the "sword" does not seem to be very good. "

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

"what happened?"

The fierce man looked at his subordinates.

Subordinates report truthfully.

"Perhaps it's because the "blood" invested in the ritual is only a collateral bloodline, and the level is not enough, the ritual starts very slowly. "

"Furthermore, the "sword" that was sent from the headquarters was in a sealed state before, but now it is suddenly used as a medium for unsealing, and the power is not running smoothly. "

"Of course, it is also possible that the tomb guards deliberately left some protection mechanism when they set the seal, so that the ceremony cannot directly function."

In other words, in order to make the ceremony work smoothly, unlock the seal in the ruins, and solve the above-mentioned problems, it has become necessary.

The ruthless man also pondered.

"If that's the case, then the state of "Sword" and "Blood" must be adjusted first. "

The problem with the "sword" is not big, just because it was sealed before, and now it's a bit "half-awake", as long as you use some means to awaken the sleeping power in the "sword", it shouldn't be difficult.

In the case of "blood", the problem must be solved from the source.

The ruthless man also understands the situation of the Wang family.

He knows that the Wang family has always demoted clansmen whose bloodline is not high enough to collateral, and only clansmen with pure and powerful bloodlines can become direct members of the entire family.

In other words...

"It is not enough to use the blood of the collateral line, must the blood of the direct line be used to make the ceremony really work and lift the seal of the "king"? "

The fierce man's frown gradually loosened.

"If that's the case, then send Wang Xiao and his precious daughter to the altar of the Yi market."

The ruthless man ordered this to his subordinates.

"But..." The subordinates hesitated and said, "The two direct lineages of the Wang family seem to be still connected to the families that sealed the "King", and the people of those families have been there for generations. Paying attention to the situation of the Wang family, I don't know if the immediate family members of the Wang family have left things such as life lamps with those families. If they die suddenly, those families are likely to be aware of the movement here. "

The so-called life lamp refers to an alchemy tool that can be connected with life itself, the connected life is constantly connected, and the fire on the lamp will not be extinguished.

This kind of alchemy tool is especially widely used in big families and big forces. As long as a younger generation with important bloodline and important potential is born, these family forces will connect the life lamp to them, so that they can know at any time whether they are in danger.

This kind of alchemy tool is almost uncommon in the four major base cities, but it is not uncommon in those powerful base cities in the hinterland of the mainland.

The families mentioned by the subordinates hold important positions in the powerful base cities in the hinterland of the mainland, and have a prominent position.

They can not be afraid of any of the forces in the four major coastal bases, or even the base city itself, but those who have been inherited for a long time, have a strong and terrifying background, and do not know the depth of the threat of the super hunter family, but they have to fear.

If there is really action over there, then things will become more troublesome.

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

Now, it seems that moving is not enough.

"As long as the "King" can escape smoothly and lift the seal, what if the big families come in person? "

The ruthless man said so 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 great reduction in the power of the family.

Now, although those big families have been recuperating for many years, and they are temporarily restored to their heyday, the ruthless man feels that it is impossible for the other party to seal the "king" again.

In the final analysis, whether those big families are willing to emulate their ancestors and make such a big sacrifice in order to deal with the "king" is still unknown.

What's more, if it really became like that, the other party wouldn't come out to deal with the "king" right from the beginning?

And as long as you don't re-seal the "King" while the "King" is still weak at the beginning, when the "King" leaves, it will not be so easy to apply the seal easily.

In a word, although there are some risks, it can be taken.

Besides, do you really think that the people on their side are all muddy, and there is no threat at all?

"Do as I ordered." The stern man said: "You prepare the "blood" for me, and I will solve the "sword" thing. "

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

Just when the fierce man was about to act, an accident happened.

"Om—!"

Suddenly, a heart-pounding tremor came from the market.

"Boom boom..."

The ruins began to vibrate.

A burst of bloody light made the atmosphere of the entire space tremble violently and distorted frequently.

As soon as the fierce man stepped out, the sudden abnormality made him almost lose his balance.

"what happened!?"

The fierce man quickly stabilized his body and stood up in astonishment.

At this time, he didn't know that just now, a firework rose into the sky of Longyao City.

......

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

In the open space of the villa, Su Ming took the obstruction Yan Bo and confirmed to Xu Qianqian again.

"Again, once the obstructing smoke wave is released, it is not only a variety of ceremonies, but even the refining of extraordinary items such as alchemy potions, alchemy tools, and alchemy weapons will be hindered, and then lose control or even fail to refine, you Are you sure you want to use it directly?"

Su Ming said this to Xu Qianqian.

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

"That's what you said." Su Ming said with a look of indifference, "At that time, if there is any major loss to the alchemy business in Longyao City, then I will not be responsible."

"Treading the Stars"

You didn't intend to take responsibility, did you?

Xu Qianqian didn't say this.

She knew that Su Ming would not care about this.

It's just a little loss, what is it compared to the chaos that may appear in Longyao City and the things that are closely related to itself?

Su Ming's idea is undoubtedly detrimental to others, but there is no way. Compared with the property of irrelevant people, Su Ming must care more about himself and the people around him.

Xu Qianqian only cares about one thing.

"How long will this effect of blocking the smoke wave last?"

Xu Qianqian is also doing this kind of confirmation.

"About three days, right?" Su Ming wasn't sure, so he could only say: "The grade of this one that hinders the smoke wave is not bad, and the time to maintain the effect should not be too short."

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

"Never leave ten." This time, Su Ming's tone was more certain, and said: "The magnetic ash that hinders the smoke wave will spread, unless a sudden typhoon and rain blows the magnetic ash away, otherwise, the magnetic ash will spread to the whole Long. Yao City, it only takes about half an hour."

Xu Qianqian nodded again and stopped talking.

"Mirin!"

Xiao Hai'er was held by Xu Qianqian and looked at Su Ming curiously, as if she didn't know what Su Ming was going to do.

Su Ming ignored Xiao Haier.

"Then I'll let it go."

Su Ming turned around and faced the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ming rang the obstruction smoke wave, causing the fireworks to rise in the air.

"Bam—!"

Under the night sky, a dazzling firework suddenly bloomed.

The magnetic ash, which has the property of hindering, spreads out like this, gradually covering the entire base city.

......

Ruins, Instrument Market.

At this moment, the ruthless man stood in front of the altar of the ceremonial market with an ugly expression.

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

"The ceremony suddenly stopped working, as if something hindered it, and it couldn't start again."

"The sacrifices suddenly regained consciousness and began to attack the altar. Our people lost a lot, and the altar was also damaged. It must be repaired before the ceremony can continue."

"The loss of control of the ceremony caused parts of the ruins to collapse, and many roads are now blocked."

"We may lose contact with the outside world."

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

And that's not the worst news.

In the next second, a subordinate rushed over in a panic.

"Deputy head, the "sword" in the center of the altar seems to have been snatched away by the Miss Wang family who just took the opportunity to get out of trouble, and the whereabouts are unknown! "

This sentence just came from the mouth of this subordinate, and his body exploded.

The blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the earth red, and filling the air with the smell of blood.

The fierce man maintained his gesture of reaching out, unable to hide his anger any longer.

"Find it for me!" The stern man said coldly: "Even if I 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 scattered in all directions.

The ruthless man still had a gloomy face.

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

The ruthless man was thinking about such a thing.

Someone answered him.

"Someone must have done it on purpose."

With such a sentence, a figure slowly appeared from the darkness.

It was the black-clothed powerhouse who had severely injured Xiao Haier and prevented him from returning to the Spirit Demon Prison.

"Artificial?" The fierce man was stunned for a moment, then his face became more gloomy, and said, "What did you find?"

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

"Magnetic fluctuations?" The fierce man said as if to get to the bottom of it: "What magnetic fluctuations can make our ritual out of control?"

"I don't know." The black-clothed strong man said lightly: "But what is certain is that our actions have been noticed by the people in Longyao City. Maybe they are the measures 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 has murdered the base city.

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

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

"This magnetic fluctuation should not be permanent, it may be time-sensitive." The black-clothed powerhouse said: "It is not clear how long it will take, but the fluctuation is not very strong, and it will last for two or three days at most before it expires. "

I have to say that this black-clothed powerhouse is indeed a bit capable, and he even noticed it.

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

What he cares more about is the whereabouts of "blood" and "sword".

As long as the "blood" and "sword" are not recovered, the ceremony cannot continue even if the ritual is not disturbed.

The black-clothed powerhouse also saw the ruthless man's thoughts and said something.

"Do you need me to take action?"

Hearing this, the ruthless man nodded without thinking.

"Your detection ability is world-class, if you take action, then Miss Wang family won't run out of the ruins with the "sword". "

Obviously, the ruthless man trusts the abilities of the black-clothed powerhouse.

It was because the black-clothed powerhouse had a strong detection ability that he could find Xiao Hai'er before.

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

After speaking, the black-clothed powerhouse turned and left.

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

"Whoever dares to hinder me, I will definitely make you pay the price."

The ruthless man took out his mobile phone and contacted his collaborator.

If it was him, there should be some information.
