But the millennium is at hand.
The death of Tian Shanhe was a small wave, and although everyone was surprised for a while, they didn’t ask too many questions, and Sugawara Mihide? She was the daughter of a minister of merit, and no one would give her a hard time over the death of Tian Shanhe.
But the incident aroused even greater suspicion in Sugawara Mihide.
She sensed that there must be something fishy going on here.
Cliff was a bit speechless at not pursuing Sugawara Mihide’s fault, so he had to find Zaemon, who had been lurking, and said, “Your identity is that of one of Sugawara Michizane’s men, Sugawara Mihide should trust you, keep an eye on her, and if there is any movement, just kill her.”
Zaemon said, “No problem.”
Cliff, on the other hand, sighed quietly.
She was a great thief.
Killing people like that was hardly ever done.
But today, it was only possible to let go.
After all, Qin Hai’s plans were at stake.
All day today, the entire Xuanwei group was in a frenzy of activity, countless resources running, and everything had been checked hundreds of times by the top brass of the program to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Bring it to evening.
The moon over the Triangle Mountains had taken on a distinctly red hue.
An eerie mass of red that seems to reflect all the negative energy of the world and makes the heart palpitate.
An eerie atmosphere also pervaded the interior of the Triangle Mountains, but everyone’s face leaked with frenzy.
Qin Dahai had already donned his Grand Elder costume, a pitch-black robe with some image of the Eight-fold Serpent carved into it, while the rest of the senior members were dressed in much the same way. They then converged and walked together into the depths, a huge artificial cave, which contained a pool of water that was deep and bottomless, while right above it was an opening through which one could clearly see The red moon in the sky.
Eerie moonlight pours down.
The whole huge cave is filled with an eerie atmosphere.
Psychic masters in ancient white robes were standing around that pool of water, one mysteriously.
Solemn.
Not a murmur of voices.
On the stone wall, a few eyes emanate an eerie, gloomy aura.
Qin Dahai stood on top of the high altar, behind him were several other senior members of the Xuanwei group, as well as Sugawara Mihide, who was still frowning, but Qin Dahai did not see her as a concern, for to one side behind her was Zuoemon, who would have killed her in an instant if she had made the slightest movement.
“Begin!”
Not many words were spoken.
It had all been rehearsed a thousand times.
With a drink from Qin Hai.
The sound of beating drums was heard throughout the cave, the drums sounding rapidly, like a sudden rain.
And with the node of the drums, the rituals surrounding the pool of water began to dance with their hands, their mouths whimpering and not knowing what they were shouting, but an eerie energy began to spread inside the cave, an eerie energy, like the deadly aura of hell, making people uncomfortable all over, but none of them dared to show it.
And with a wave of his hand, Qin Hai.
The ritual psychics scattered backwards, and then one by one, the black-clad masked members who were escorting the prisoner stepped forward, pitch-black knives in their hands, and as the drums beat more and more rapidly, they sent the knives in their hands into the throats of the prisoners beside them almost at the same time.
Poof, poof.
One by one, the prisoners struggling in death were thrown into the deep pool of water.
The originally clear water instantly turned crimson.
Instead of floating up, one corpse after another sank out of sight in the pool of water, while soon the whole pool of water was as disgusting to look at as a blood soup.
As all the prisoners were killed and thrown into the pool of water.
The black-clad masked members retreated, and the ritual psychics stepped forward in degrees, one by one, continuing their previous movements around the waterhole, the chanting from their mouths seeming to break the barriers of space and pass into another shadowy time and space, while the blood soup in the waterhole began to gurgle and bubble with blood, and a low growl began to ring out in all directions.
The crowd on top of the high platform was suddenly excited.
The low roar was ghastly in the extreme, but it was impossible to suppress their excitement.
For this was the harbinger of the awakening of the Yaki Orochi!
The corners of Qin Hai’s mouth lifted slightly, and with a wave of his hand, there was soon another young girl, with heavenly treasures in her hands, walking expressionlessly towards the water pool.
At this point, the psychics also quieted down.
They stood in two rows, one by one, their mouths still chanting, while the wonderful young girls dragging their heavenly treasures came forward in turn.
These Myriad Maidens had been trained by the Xuangyi Group and were specifically used as tools for today’s rituals.
They had been brought up in the darkness since they were young and had been instilled with the idea of sacrificing to the fate of the greatest Yaki Orochi, so they all stepped forward without expression, but the fervour and excitement in their eyes was intense.
There was no fear.
These young girls could only think that what they were about to do was the greatest task of all.
Qin Hai looked on coldly.
There was not the slightest indication of a stance.
A look of intolerance flashed in Clive’s eyes, but that was all that could be done.
She couldn’t stop it.
With all the wonderful girls jumping into the pool of blood with those heavenly treasures that had been accumulated for thousands of years, the ritual psychics were carrying out the previous actions, one after another.
It was just a bunch of dancing gods.
But it was useful.
For the few eyes on the stone wall of that cave began to flicker with an eerie cold light at that moment, as if they had come to life.
“It’s not enough!”
Qin Hai suddenly bellowed.
The people inside the cave seemed to understand what was going on, and the black-clad masked members who were previously escorting the prisoners, one by one, defiantly stepped forward and jumped into the pool of blood.
With the sacrifice of the living.
The psychics worked harder and harder.
And the sound of heavy breathing began to spread through the cavern.
The sound of breathing came from all directions.
It was as if the whole mountain was breathing!
“This is the voice of the Yaki Orochi!” Someone couldn’t help but shout out.
Qin Hai, on the other hand, was staring at one of the eyes on the stone wall of that cave with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
“This is something wrong on the reverse!”
The sense of foreboding in Sugawara Mihide’s heart grew worse and worse.
But everything was going so well again.
A slight tremor began to appear in the cave, as if something was about to break out of the mountain, but why, then, was there such a hint of unease?
And that’s when.
The unconscious Robona was also carried out, resting on a stretcher and covered with offerings, while at this time a burst of bright light continued to shine in the middle of the pool of water, and looking down from the high platform, these lights intertwined in a huge psychic formation.
