In the Divine Decree Palace, the Saintess sat in the main seat, and the five clan leaders sat in the remaining secondary seats. The Great Warlock stood behind the Saintess. Although the Great Warlock's face could not be seen, everyone present could feel his gaze sweeping over them.
Zhang Xiaofan walked in quietly, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on him. There were friendly gazes, supportive gazes, joyful gazes, gazes that contained envy, jealousy, curiosity, and hatred. There was also a gaze that could not be seen but could be felt. It was a gaze that was observing him.
Zhang Xiaofan walked up to the Saint calmly and said,""Empress."
The Saintess looked at Zhang Xiaofan with many thoughts in her mind. She didn't know whether she was convinced or impressed. "Do you still remember the promise we made yesterday?"”
" Of course I remember," Zhang Xiaofan said happily." The Empress said yesterday that as long as I can get the support of the clan leaders, the Empress will help me save them."”
"You have a good memory." The Holy Maiden smiled bitterly.”
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the Saintess and said,""This is all because of Empress's deep sense of righteousness, helping me solve my problems. In the future, if the Empress has any instructions, I will definitely do it.”
"No need," the Holy Maiden said lightly,"I won't ask others for help." I'll fulfill my promise. Now that the five clan leaders have agreed to help you save them, I'll agree to help you save them.”
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed and quickly said,""Many thanks, Empress."
The Holy Maiden stood up and said," At midnight tonight, bring the person you want to save and come to the Holy Altar to find me."”With that, he walked out of the Divine Decree Hall without looking back.
The five clan leaders also stood up and congratulated Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan quickly returned the greeting, his heart surging with emotion.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't notice the Grand Warlock's curious gaze.
Zhang Xiaofan spent the entire day in his wooden house. Zhang Xiaofan held the Joyous Union Bell in his hand and talked about his happiness, his experiences, his love, and his fantasies about his future life. Whatever he thought of, he would say it. He talked about it for the whole day.
As for Xiao Hui, he had been drinking the remaining wine from the restaurant and enjoying it alone. He probably wouldn't make any noise for the next few days.
The sky had just darkened slightly when Zhang Xiaofan ran to the altar with the Joyous Union Bell. He continued to wait there, waiting for his long-cherished wish to be fulfilled.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden was blessing her clansmen on the altar. When she saw the laughter of her clansmen, she also felt happy. She slowly forgot about the unpleasant things in the morning. There was only a happy smile on her face. However, Zhang Xiaofan's arrival had completely disrupted her mood. Although Zhang Xiaofan was just sitting in the distance with the Joyous Union Bell, the Holy Maiden felt uncomfortable. It was as if Zhang Xiaofan was laughing at her from afar. As a result, she said the wrong words of blessing several times, which made her even angrier and her smile disappeared.
After several failed blessings, the Holy Maiden angrily dismissed the meeting early and returned to the temple to prepare for the evening ceremony. She hoped that Zhang Xiaofan would leave as soon as possible. Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect that his unexpected action would help him. He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
The clansmen all noticed the abnormality of the Saintess, and they found the culprit in her eyes, Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan was responsible for disbanding the venue early. After the meeting was dismissed, the clansmen who passed by him said that he was an unlucky person. Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about the false reputation. He pretended he didn't hear anything and continued to talk to the Joyous Union Bell.
At night, the Holy Spring Altar was filled with gusts of cold wind and ghost flames. None of the clansmen were willing to go out in this gloomy night. They all hid in their homes and prayed for peace. The streets were quiet and empty.
There were only two people on the altar.
One of them was extremely excited as he looked at all kinds of props.
One was listless and was resting with his eyes closed.
The moon didn't care if there were people below looking forward to it intensely. It just floated up lazily. As soon as he climbed to the top of the person below, he looked at the Holy Maiden with anticipation. The Holy Maiden was still there with her eyes closed and her hands crossed. She did not do anything else as if she was asleep.
Zhang Xiaofan was depressed for a moment, but he still said happily,""Empress, it's time."
The Holy Maiden slowly opened her eyes and said indifferently,""I know."
In front of the Saintess was a square table used for sacrifice. A piece of cloth with countless evil ghosts and evil spirits painted on it covered the square table completely. On the square table were the Joyous Union Bell, an empty bowl, a knife, an incense burner, and the Holy Maiden's magic treasure, the Ghost Staff.
The Gui Hua Staff was a three-foot-long ebony stick. A malicious ghost was carved on the head of the staff. Its eyes were fierce and its body was evil, making people feel cold when they looked at it. In the malicious ghost's mouth was a red stone that the Holy Maiden had named the 'soul of an oracles.' The staff was carved with all kinds of strange talismans.
"Time is up, but I still lack a tool," the Holy Maiden said softly.”
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and asked,""What else do you lack?"
The Saintess turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile.""I still need a bowl of fresh human blood."
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the knife next to the empty bowl on the table and immediately understood what was going on. He walked to the table, picked up the knife, and cut his wrist.
Blood flowed down, forming a red line into the empty bowl.
Zhang Xiaofan's face didn't twitch in pain at all, as if the blood wasn't his. He just looked at the bowl that was soaked in blood quietly.
As long as Bi Yao could be reborn, his life could be sacrificed. This small injury was nothing.
Zhang Xiaofan's face slowly turned pale as the blood flowed out rapidly. However, he still stood there quietly without showing any signs of pain.
The Saintess looked at Zhang Xiaofan quietly. This was something she had never expected.
She was just unconvinced.
She just wanted to vent her anger, so she came up with this idea.
Now, she had gotten her wish.
Now that Zhang Xiaofan was really bleeding, why didn't he show any expression that she had imagined?
She couldn't think of anything that could make Zhang Xiaofan so determined. Could it really be something called 'love'?
The Saintess shook her head abruptly. She was the Saintess of the new Sorcerer Tribe, so she should not fantasize about 'love'.
Looking at the bowl that was almost full of blood and Zhang Xiaofan who was still holding on, the Saint suddenly said,""Enough, it's enough."
Zhang Xiaofan retracted his bleeding hand after hearing the voice. Under the circulation of the Heavenly Book of Desire, the wound on his hand was quickly stopped. Only his pale face and bloodstained hands proved his determination.
The Saintess didn't look at Zhang Xiaofan again. She was afraid that she would be defeated by his willpower.
The Saintess lit the incense in the incense burner and said in shock,""I'm about to start. Go to the side. No matter what happens in the middle, don't come near here, understand?”
This spell was Zhang Xiaofan's only hope. Now that it was finally about to begin, Zhang Xiaofan naturally listened to her words. He quickly retreated to the side and watched the Holy Maiden cast the spell nervously.
The Holy Maiden picked up the Joyous Union Bell and held it in midair. As the Saintess held the Joyous Union Bell, it began to emit a golden light that grew larger and larger. It was unknown whether it was because the Saintess had injected her witchcraft into it or because the Joyous Union Bell's spirituality resisted it.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the golden light and was extremely excited. He said softly,""Bi Yao."
The Saintess let go of her hand. The Joyous Union Bell did not fall down. Instead, it spun non-stop, emitting a few crisp ringing sounds. The Holy Maiden picked up the Gui Hua Staff and pointed it at the Joyous Union Bell. The oracles 'soul stones within the Gui Hua Staff instantly emitted a red glow. Under the illumination of the red light, the Joyous Union Bell seemed to be afraid and gently floated to the square table.
The Holy Maiden abruptly slammed the Gui Hua Staff into the cloth on the table, and the red glow of the Soul Oracles condensed on the cloth, forming a strange seal. The Saintess held the staff in her right hand and dipped a drop of blood into the bowl with her left middle finger. She put it into the red glowing sigil. The sigil immediately lost its luster and seeped into the cloth.
Zhang Xiaofan was nervously watching everything that was happening here. Suddenly, he saw the sigil seep into the cloth. He was wondering what was going on when he saw all the evil spirits in the cloth come alive and float out of the cloth, surrounding the Saintess and the Joyous Union Bell in a big circle. Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and couldn't help but take a step forward. However, he suddenly came to his senses after a moment. He controlled his excitement and retreated.
Those evil ghosts and spirits held sharp knives and forks like loyal guards. They wandered in the circle and formed a ghost wall, separating the Saintess from the Joyous Union Bell.
