Chapter 293: Chapter 280: Rebellious Child (Vote, Subscription Please)
...
A few hundred li north from Corpse Hill.
Desolate Blood Plain, the region once hosted a bloody battle on the 786th layer of the Abyss, only to be abandoned thereafter.
The Gliando Family chose their location wisely.
Within the twenty-meter diameter Sacrifice Ceremony, Illidare knelt with bowed head, evidently unconscious.
The Heart-eating Gentleman led numerous Demon Wizards, each in their respective places, ready to activate the Array at any moment.
At this time.
A deep purple doorway flung open, the Flame Demon Clan Elder and Storm Demon Second Elder, along with Iris, stepped through the Demon Portal.
The Clan Elder was very pleased with the Heart-eating Gentleman’s actions.
"Third Elder, it seems you’ve succeeded. Where is Mr. Rhein?"
Third Elder shook his head.
"Don’t worry about him, he must have gone to an even deeper layer of the Abyss. I gave him a map to the 1032nd layer; he is after the resources from the Abyss Legend Level, no need for unnecessary complications."
"Besides, his mentor Ivis Egenlosh is not someone easy to provoke."
Hearing this, the Second Elder expressed a different opinion.
"Third Elder, the Dark Night Elf clan that backs Illidare isn’t easy to provoke either. Rumor has it that they have murky ties with the Sun King. Should things go awry, even if the boss ascends to the Holy Spirit Wizard, it won’t necessarily ensure Gliando’s safety."
"We must eliminate any future threats, act first and gain the upper hand."
With a furrowed brow, the Heart-eating Gentleman weighed his options, but still stood his ground.
"Ivis Egenlosh, an old-brand Third Tier Legendary Wizard, it’s hard to say whether he has any trump cards. Rhein Lin was the one he introduced." freёweɓnovel.com
"If he disappears, it would be difficult to extricate ourselves from the connection, and the matter with Illidare might be less problematic."
"You’re all thinking too much."
The Flame Demon Clan Elder clapped his hands to gather everyone’s attention.
"Stop talking, Third Elder. Rhein must die. Don’t worry about the discovery issue. From the start of this plan, I had no intention of returning."
"Let’s talk about everything after a successful ascension. If we let Rhein go, our plans might leak. It’s not possible to breakthrough to the Holy Spirit Level in a day or two, so..."
"I understand."
With a blank expression, the Heart-eating Gentleman silently pulled out a witch tool resembling a dashboard from his helmet.
"I’ve placed a tracking mechanism in the map I handed to him; it seems he has now reached the 813th layer. Second brother, you handle it."
"No problem, I move fast. I’ll be there and back in a flash."
Taking the tracking witch tool handed over by the Third Elder, the Storm Demon Second Elder spread a pair of large wings and flew away with the wind.
The corners of the Heart-eating Gentleman’s mouth slightly raised as he quietly watched the other depart.
Iris observed everything with anxiety.
But she also understood her status, completely without a say, continuously stimulating the bracelet Lin Suo gave her with her magic power, trying to slightly trigger the measures he left behind.
To alert him.
"All trivial matters have been dealt with. Begin now, Iris, stand next to Illidare."
Iris’s eyes conveyed complexity.
Her strength had only reached the Sixth Ring, she thought: Am I really just a sacrifice...
"Elders, I am aware of your plans, and I won’t resist but once you start this, my ties to the Gliando Family will be irreversibly severed."
"You are smart, Iris. The family will remember your contribution. Simon will become the next Demon Family Master of Gliando."
"Do Big Brother Simon and father both know about this?"
"Your father knows."
"I see."
Iris lowered her head, in a pure and fluffed dress, slowly moved to the side of the unconscious Illidare.
She needed an excuse to sever ties with her family.
Unconsciously touching the silver bracelet on her wrist, she continuously stimulated the Rune Array within it.
Completely dissociating herself from life and death, theoretically speaking, Lin Suo’s power is only at the Legendary first tier; it’s impossible to save her without being detected by the Clan Elders.
Thus, Iris both believes Lin Suo can rescue her and disbelieves it could happen, caught in a state of yearning for a miracle.
At times like these, the sole lifeline was the Evolutionary Witch Tool in her hand— "Holy Spirit Level Bracelet of the Sixth Ring."
"Let’s start immediately, it doesn’t affect much whether the Second Elder is here or not, it just depends if the timing is right."
The Flame Demon Clan Elder ordered.
The Heart-eating Gentleman also nodded to the assembly of Demon Wizards, signaling the start of the Sacrifice Ceremony.
Illidare bore the brunt, cracks began to appear on her body, and flashes of green and black energy constantly burst from these fissures.
An evil pillar of light soared to the heavens, immediately attracting the attention of the demons of this layer of the Abyss.
Followed by another pillar of pure, holy light.
The two intermingled, one utterly vile, the other completely sacred, emitting spiritual wills that greatly enticed the demons’ appetite.
A supreme delicacy!
Blood Charm Demon Temple.
Lying on a golden, gem-encrusted Divine Throne, the Blood Charm Demon God suddenly stood up, Its appearance resembling a human with Enchanting Demon features.
Similar to the Demon Clan, male.
Now standing, Its eyes fervently fixated on the distant pillar of light.
"Perfect offering, might even restore some of my lost power. Excellent, Baseldo, assemble the Guard Corps and head in that direction."
After instructing the captain of the personal guard at the temple entrance, the shadow of the Blood Charm Demon God vanished within the great hall.
The show was about to begin.
On Lin Suo’s side, Illidare had been marked by him from the start; there was no intention to let him live, and such a grand event naturally required his participation in one way or another.
As for picking up the scraps, that was another matter.
Then, on the way over, he saw the Second Elder of the Storm Demon Clan dashing past, which was quite interesting.
Because this direction was exactly where he had his Thunder God Avatar go to the 1032nd layer of the Abyss according to the map, which was very suspicious.
There was a problem with the map.
And the information between him and his avatars was transferred instantly, always in synchronous communication.
So the Thunder God Avatar threw the map into the Demon God Temple on the 813th layer of the Abyss, quietly delivering it to the dwelling of a favored Enchanting Demon mistress.
The Thunder God Avatar continued to set off, delving deeper into the lower levels of the Abyss.
There was no need to worry about the Second Elder; he would either die or be skinned alive. Trying to scheme against Lin Suo, that was just asking for a counter-strike from him.
But as he hid in the spatial crevices and arrived at the Desolate Blood Plain, he witnessed a very interesting scene.
"Great Blood Charm Demon God, your humble believers pray for the True God’s descent, offering blood, mournful music, and trembling sobs of a dirge, your charm is irresistible to all spirits."
"Descend! Descend! Descend!"
The Grand Elder of the Flame Demon Clan stood in the Sacrifice Ceremony, circling Illidare and Iris, dancing a primal ritual dance.
Lin Suo found it interesting because if he saw correctly, this Sacrifice Ceremony had no beneficiary.
In this world, most Ritual Knowledge, the usual subjects or witnesses, belonged to the "Source of Mystery". No one knew what it was, but many rituals mentioned its name.
And the Sacrifice Ceremony was even more fascinating.
A complete Sacrifice Ceremony consisted of three parts: the sacrificial position, the recipient position, and the feedback position.
Since the Sacrifice Ceremony originated from the knowledge granted by powerful existences to their followers, it had an operational logic, and fundamentally, it was to help the followers grow and strengthen before offering even more sacrifices—a basic rule.
Offer a sacrifice and receive feedback, the powerful existence continues to benefit, granting appropriate feedback to strengthen the followers.
Thus, the Sacrifice Ceremony had a certain transactional nature.
In this ritual, Lin Suo only saw the symbol of the Blood Charm Demon God in the recipient’s position.
The feedback position wasn’t in the ritual at all but used some special methods to alter the ritual Rune, extending it beyond the ritual.
That is to say, all existences within the ritual were sacrifices!
Cracking a big case, there were traitors!
Those who seemed the kindest and gentlest were often the craftiest devils!
Whirling—
Unbeknownst to all, a blood-red mist gradually enshrouded the area, visibility drastically reduced, and amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, a towering figure hundreds of meters tall appeared.
The true form of the Blood Charm Demon God had descended!
The Grand Elder of the Flame Demon Clan’s expression brightened, and as he was about to speak, he suddenly found his feet bound to the ground by purple-green veins, unable to move and bound by the completed ritual’s rules.
Unable to escape, he was instantly filled with shock and rage as flames burst forth.
"Third Elder!! Why? Why betray the Gliando Family..."
"No, no, no, nonsense."
The Heart-eating Gentleman was still smiling amiably.
"I haven’t betrayed the Gliando Family. As a member of the family, how could I possibly betray it? It is only you I have betrayed."
"You... how dare you?? When the plan was set, you had no objections. Is it necessary to fight amongst ourselves now? If you speak up, it’s not like it couldn’t be given to you..."
"Given to me? How laughable."
"With your Flame Demon bloodline, you’re like a foolish dictator, and your brain has become like that of a Flame Demon as well, I really wonder if you’ve awakened a Demon’s true name."
Ah, the irony. A true name is the identity card of a Demon; the purer the bloodline, the higher the probability of awakening a true name. But the brains of Flame Demons are all magma, lacking any comparability...
"Silence!"
The Blood Charm Demon God had just arrived and was forced to listen to an earful of gossip, looking at the Heart-eating Gentleman with a displeased face.
"Sacrificer, what kind of reward do you seek?"
"Great Demon God, your lowly believer wishes to join your Guard Corps, to serve you for all eternity."
"Very well, the ceremony is established."
The Blood Charm Demon God nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to grab the Grand Elder of the Flame Demon Clan and Illidare.
These two little ants seemed slightly stronger and could be eaten directly.
Holy beings were too weak and could be nurtured. If they were tempted to fall into darkness, their souls would become even tastier.
"No!"
A hand that covered the sky pressed down, and the Grand Elder of the Flame Demon Clan was extremely angry.
He would rather be shattered than complete in submission!
"Blood Charm Demon God, the Heart-eating Gentleman has schemed against us, he’s plotting against you."
The Third Elder shook his head in regretful sigh.
"That’s where you have betrayed the family, you fool."
The Blood Charm Demon God looked disdainful on his turf, in his world! Scheming against him? Trying to fool a powerful Demon God of Holy Spirit Level.
What a joke, utterly unbelievable.
Without paying any attention, and without needing the Heart-eating Gentleman to explain, the Blood Charm Demon God grabbed the Grand Elder of the Flame Demon Clan and chewed him up in his large mouth.
"Huh, truly spicy, quite strong."
Belching out a thick flame, the Blood Charm Demon God continued to feed Illidare into his mouth.
