Four thousand six hundred and ninety-four chapters sacrificial agreement
Everyone around the altar was also shocked by Nie Tian's aura, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Hey, young man, come with me."
After a long time, the old man suddenly sighed, and then, with the support of several young people, he staggered off the altar.
Nie Tian's face darkened, he hugged the little girl and jumped off the altar.
"Elder of the clan, what are you going to do?"
As soon as the old man stepped off the altar, a middle-aged man who looked quite authoritative glared at Nie Tian fiercely, then supported the old man and asked.
"The Blood Demon Sacrifice has been destroyed. Even if we resent him, what's the use?"
The old man sighed again, glanced at Nie Tian, then looked up to the sky for a long time, lamenting: "Maybe, this is God's will."
"This..." When the middle-aged man saw this, he was so frightened that he could not speak.
Could it be that their town has no hope and can only accept its fate?
"Old sir, I don't know what or who the blood demon you are talking about is?"
At this moment, Nie Tian came over and said, "But I can promise you that I will get rid of the blood demon for you."
The old man looked at Nie Tian and felt the tenacity in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and said, "Young man, let's go back first and then talk."
Jiuye Town is located at the foot of Qingmian Mountain. It has beautiful scenery and rich resources, but its total population is not tens of thousands.
A long time ago, Jiuye Town was very prosperous, with a population of more than hundreds of thousands at its peak.
But then, at some point, an ancient blood demon suddenly appeared in Jiuye Town.
At the beginning, the blood demon only appeared every time the moon was full to yin, devouring the living people.
Later, the blood demon came out every day, killing dozens or hundreds of people every time.
As a result, people in Jiuye Town were in panic and could not find peace.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Lord of Jiuye Town spent a lot of money to find someone to hunt down the blood demon.
But those who come to hunt the blood demon will either be devoured by the blood demon or be directly scared away.
Over time, there are fewer and fewer people in Jiuye Town, and it is about to become a dead city.
Until one day, a person who claimed to be the Blood Demon Messenger appeared and told the Lord of Jiuye Town that as long as the blood demon sacrifice was held every year and a child was sacrificed to the blood demon, the blood demon would never come out to do evil again.
Although the Lord of Jiuye Town was doubtful, he still followed the blood demon envoy's words and held the blood demon sacrifice.
Miraculously, after the blood demon sacrifice, the blood demon actually did not appear again.
After that, the Blood Demon Sacrifice became the most important event in Jiuye Town every year, and it continues to this day.
Jiuye Town, Wang Family.
"Is that Blood Demon Messenger still in town?"
In the lobby, after listening to the old man's story about the origin of the blood demon sacrifice, Nie Tian couldn't help but frown and asked.
He had a strong feeling that the so-called ancient blood demon must be related to this blood demon messenger.
"In the first few years, Lord Blood Envoy personally arranged the blood demon sacrifices, but later after the blood demon sacrifices became stable, he stopped coming."
Wang Jiucheng, the elder of the Jiuye Town Wang family, was thinking about it and said: "In total, the Blood Envoy has not appeared for decades."
"Then the Yi clan looks at it. If the blood demon sacrifice is destroyed this time, will the blood demon appear?"
Nie Tian twitched the corners of his mouth and asked meaningfully.
"This..." Wang Jiuzheng couldn't help being stunned, looking a little flustered, and said: "It should appear."
It was obvious that he didn't want the Bloodbringer to show up.
Because once the blood envoy appears, it means that the blood demon is very likely to cause trouble again.
"That's good."
Nie Tian smiled playfully and said, "I want to see who this Lord Blood Messenger is, that he can actually come up with a way to sacrifice children."
Wang Jiuzheng looked at Nie Tian, his eyes flickering involuntarily.
For a moment, he suddenly had an illusion that maybe the young man in front of him could really solve the problem of the blood demon.
But then, he gave up the idea.
The ancient blood demon is so powerful, no matter how strong Nie Tian is, it is absolutely impossible to fight against it.
"The elders of the clan, elders of the Zhang family and the elders of the Li family are here, as well as people from the town master's mansion."
At this moment, a man who looked like a servant ran into the lobby in a panic and said breathlessly.
"Let them come to the lobby."
A flash of panic flashed in Wang Jiuzheng's eyes, but more of a helpless sigh.
"Elder of the clan, who are these people?"
Seeing Wang Jiuzheng's reaction, Nie Tian couldn't help but frown and asked.
"You will know when they come."
Wang Jiuzheng shook his head helplessly, looking depressed.
After a while, two old men, one tall and one short, walked into the lobby angrily, followed closely by a young man in rich clothes.
"Wang Jiuzheng, what are you, the Wang family, thinking about? How could anything go wrong in such a big thing as the blood demon sacrifice?"
The short, fat old man was the elder of the Li family. He was furious. As soon as he came in, he pointed at Wang Jiuzheng's nose and yelled.
"Brother Wang, the blood demon sacrifice is related to the life and death of Jiuye Town. How can you let an outsider destroy the sacrifice?"
The tall and thin old man is the elder of the Zhang family. His tone is quite calm, but the coldness on his face is no less than that of the elder of the Li family.
Wang Jiuzheng had a look of helplessness on his face, and his eyes swept over the elders of the Zhang family and the Li family, and finally landed on the young man in gorgeous clothes.
"Mr. Wang, the Blood Demon Sacrifice is a matter jointly planned by our town master's office and your three families. The four families will take turns to be responsible for it."
Chen Pingli, a young man in Chinese attire, said in a calm voice, with no hint of emotion or anger, but extremely cold, "This year's blood demon sacrifice is yours, the Wang family's responsibility.
Since something happened, the Wang family will naturally be held responsible to the end."
"Young Town Master, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Jiuzheng's eyes sank slightly, very surprised.
Chen Pingli is the son of the Lord of Jiuye Town, so people in the town call him the Young Lord of the Town.
Moreover, Chen Pingli is engaged to Wang Jiucheng's third daughter.
So he felt that Chen Pingli would definitely speak for himself.
Nicheng thought that as soon as Chen Pingli opened his mouth, he put all the responsibilities on the Wang family, as if he was watching the fun.
"Wang Jiuzheng, don't you understand what the young mayor is saying?"
Before Chen Pingli could speak, the elder of the Li family said directly: "Your Wang family failed in this blood demon sacrifice. The responsibility will naturally be borne by the Wang family alone and has nothing to do with us."
"Brother Wang, Young Town Master and Brother Li are right.
Since the fault lies with the Wang family, then if Lord Blood Envoy takes the blame, of course the Wang family will bear the consequences."
Immediately afterwards, the elder of the Zhang family also spoke and said coldly.
"You...you are really moral!"
Wang Jiuzheng was so angry at the three that his face turned red and he almost vomited blood.
At the beginning, the four families planned the blood demon sacrifice, and it was true that the four families took turns to be responsible.
But at the same time, the four families also agreed that if any problems arise during the sacrifice, the four families will jointly bear the responsibility.
It's good now, these three companies push 6, 2, and 5, and they are very clean.
"The blood demon sacrifice was destroyed by me and has nothing to do with the Wang family."
At this moment, a firm voice sounded. It was Nie Tian who stood up and said calmly: "I will bear all the consequences alone!"
