Chapter 400: Chapter 271 Strike! Slay the Venerate God!_2

"Since there’s nothing urgent at hand, we might as well enjoy the offerings."

The huge eagle circled in the sky, its eyes revealing a hint of joy.

Boys and girls from the Human Clan, being young and full of spirit, are a great nourishing tonic.

Covered with rich incense, they taste even more delicious and are even more nutritious.

In Qifeng Prefecture’s cities, it is customary for the Human Clan to eat dumplings during festivals.

If the boys and girls were the filling, then the incense would be the dumpling wrappers.

The scent wafted up into the clouds.

The Hawk God Venerate immediately swooped down toward the great river.

——

Again, among the mountains and forests.

A long-handled great saber suddenly swept across.

Several small demons were seen cut in half, dead in the woods.

With another sweep, blood and True Qi burst forth, accompanied by the light of the incense on the blade’s aura.

More than ten wandering spirits were instantly annihilated!

"Just these ant-like wandering spirits, these easily crushable small demons, dare dream of seizing my incense?"

The Ape God Venerate sneered, his mouth full of sharp teeth, and his eyes filled with a crimson hue.

He sensed vast amounts of rich incense permeating into his being, stimulating his blood and proving incredibly satisfying.

Over the years, actually, with the existence of the three Venerates, very few strong evil beings approached Three Gods Valley.

But small demons and wandering spirits were always unavoidable.

However, tonight, over thirty thousand of the Human Clan had stepped out of the valley, their vitality and spirit vast and the incense exceptionally rich.

Attracted by this were not only wandering spirits and small demons.

Evil spirits, fierce beings, and even the most malignant and wicked creatures were likely to follow the scent close to Three Gods Valley.

But as long as they weren’t transcendental tier beings, with the three of them present, they could be fearless!

"That blind member of the Human Clan from the Refining God Realm has left; it’s a good time to go back and enjoy the offerings."

The Ape God Venerate caressed the long-handled great saber in his hand and clicked his tongue, "I was frightened today, so I need to eat more...The humans of this valley are quite sensible indeed, adding more offerings."

His voice dropped, and he slightly opened his mouth.

A burst of white smoke billowed from his mouth, landing on the long-handled great saber.

The blade’s edge trembled slightly, its light becoming even more incisive.

Clearly, this was also a fierce weapon.

And it had a great craving for incense.

"Old buddy, you eat more tonight as well," said the Ape God Venerate, laughing heartily.

If it weren’t for this fierce weapon, how could he qualify to share the incense with the Great Divine Venerable in the river?

He then quickly walked with the long-handled great saber towards Three Gods Valley.

——

The river flowed as always.

A massive amount of white smoke spread over the water.

Upon the Divine Venerate’s response, the leader from the Refining Essence Realm showed endless joy in his eyes.

With a grand gesture of his hand, the parents of the thirty-six boys and thirty-six girls each came forward with a knife.

The ropes tying the bamboo rafts were cut one by one.

For those who were parents, cutting these ropes was like severing the invisible ties of karma with their children.

The bamboo rafts floated downstream with the current.

The white smoke was like thick fog.

Even though the stars and moon were bright above, the river’s surface was still unclear.

Large fires burned on the riverside, and the crowd cheered jubilantly.

Cutting the ropes and setting the rafts adrift signified that the three Venerates were willing to accept the offerings.

In the hopeful gaze of everyone,

a cry from the eagle resounded through the heavens and echoed in the valley.

A massive figure spread its wings, blocking the light of the stars and moon, and headed toward one of the bamboo rafts.

There was also a blood-red True Qi on the shore, slowly rising and supporting another raft.

The Hawk God Venerate’s claws seized the bamboo raft, carrying twelve boys and twelve girls up into the clouds.

And the blood-red True Qi dragged the bamboo raft with the twelve boys and girls into the woods.

But the last bamboo raft continued to drift downstream.

The Great Divine Venerable did not show up to enjoy the offerings.

"..."

The leader from the Refining Essence Realm was filled with anxiety in his eyes.

He turned his head toward the twelve men responsible for the incense, communicating divine intentions.

These twelve also showed looks of confusion and bafflement.

But the next moment, a great whirlpool appeared in the water,

Causing the twelve boys and twelve girls atop the raft to be unable to contain their fear, crying out loud.

"Dammit! No crying allowed!"

The leader of the Refining Essence Realm was instantly enraged.

The sacrifice today had already faced issues, causing displeasure among the three Great Divine Venerables.

At this moment, these sacrifices had begun to weep—what if the Great Divine Venerable felt that the people in the valley were unwilling to sacrifice and angrily departed? Would that not spell disaster?

He glared at the parents of the sacrifices on the shore, his eyes filled with anger.

Everyone displayed panic and began to blame the parents of the twelve boys and girls on the bamboo raft.

"Children, you must not cry. To be offered to the God Venerate is the greatest honor!"

Someone shouted loudly toward the river, "Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

"Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

"Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

The voices on the shore were like tidal waves.

The voice of the multitude was sincere and immensely resolute.

This loud voice, unified as one, seemed to shake the valley, and even the clouds at the edge of the moon seemed to tremble.

"Please..."

At that very moment, a girl named Xiao Yun on the bamboo raft, wiping her tears, said softly, "Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

She had clearly been the most frightened child before.

But now, she had become the first to speak up.

After the failed sacrifice earlier, she had gone home and sensed her parents’ disappointment, the disdain of her neighbors, and the disdain of others.

"Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

Another child followed her lead and spoke up.

"Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

Gradually, all the children were yelling toward the vortex in front of them.

Until, at last, all the voices came together into one unwavering voice!

"Please, God Venerate, accept the sacrifices!"

Thunderous!!!

The bamboo raft plunged into the vortex, circling within it until it ultimately capsized, completely submerged under the water.

Twelve boys and twelve girls were swallowed by the water.

Upon seeing this, the people on the shore cheered jubilantly!

Thirty-six boys and thirty-six girls were each taken by the three Great Divine Venerables!

The incense belonged entirely to the three Great Divine Venerables!

The sacrifice today was a success!

"Great joy! We must celebrate!"

The leader of the Refining Essence Realm raised his arm and shouted, "Bring the wine!"

However, as his voice fell, a fierce screech was heard from above the clouds.

This was the angry cry of the Hawk God Venerate!

Then, a roar startled from the forest, shaking all directions!

This was the roar of the Ape God Venerate!

Shortly after, an aged voice came from the shore.

"You’ve finally chosen to show yourself!"

The aged voice spoke slowly, "Wu Chang, using my two streams of Mana, I’ve cast ’dikes’ at both ends of this vortex, blocking this stretch of river... within about twelve yards, not a single drop of water shall remain!"

"Understood!"

Just then, a tree at the shore suddenly split.

A young man appeared, dressed in a Golden Patterned Black Robe, holding a long sword, expressionless.

His body radiated a golden light, and he leaped forth, plunging into the vortex.

"Blasphemer!!!"

The leader of the Refining Essence Realm shouted furiously, "How are they still here?"

"They still want to obstruct the sacrifice!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The crowd was furiously enraged.

The young man transformed into a streak of golden light and dove into the vortex.

And above in the clouds, a bamboo raft fell down.

A burly man burst from the forests, spreading his arms wide.

The sparse True Qi caught the bamboo raft.

A voice then came from the sky.

"Master, this giant eagle has a ’town object’ as powerful as my halberd, and its Cultivation is much stronger than mine..."

Little White Ape shouted, "I can only hold him off for a quarter of an hour!"

"That’s enough."

The voice from the bottom of the river, along with the vortex, reached the sky, spreading throughout the valley, and everyone heard this voice!
