Chapter 620: Huge Sacrifice (1)
Why did the higher-ups give them such a mission? To summon Nian beasts in Cloud City?
Nian was a legendary evil beast. It was neither a demon nor a devil. Its source of power came from people’s fear, despair, and other negative emotions (probably made up by the God Worship Sect themselves).
From a certain perspective, Nian could be considered a different type of god.
Because its strength was completely dependent on the amount of negative emotions it could absorb.
The God Worship Sect had long known that incense was poisonous. In the current Great Xia, the positive emotions of incense had long been planned to become the food intake of the incense gods raised by the residents. However, the negative emotions had never been used well.
This gave the God Worship Sect an opportunity. After all, no matter how devout their believers were, their numbers were still too small. Even if they could worship a certain god, it was impossible for them to be very strong.
At this time, the negative sentient beings ‘thoughts came into play.
Therefore, most of the worshippers of the God Worship Sect were evil gods.
This year’s Nian beast was one of them.
According to tradition, they would search for anything related to the legendary Nian beast as a ritual material. Through their bug-like beliefs, they would summon it from the ancient legends. After that, the Nian beast would absorb the negative thoughts of all living beings accumulated in Great Xia and rapidly develop. With an absolutely ferocious and powerful attitude, it would show the world what the true legendary god was.
However, there was a core material that the God Worship Sect had no clue about.
The legendary year beast only appeared on the night of the 30th of each year, which was the time when the new year passed.
This was how the year beast got its name, its real name should be Xi.
It only appeared at a specific time and possessed extremely powerful strength. According to legend, no one had ever found a Nian beast before the 30th of the year. Therefore, the God Worship Sect believed that this evil beast should still have some time power.
In other words, the core material of the ritual, the carrier of the arrival of the year beast, had to have the power of time.
For many years, God Worship Church had never been able to summon a Nian beast, precisely because they had never been able to find a vessel that possessed the power of time.
The reason why the higher-ups of the God Worship Sect had given such a mission to the Cloud City branch was that they had received a piece of news from somewhere.
A carrier with the power of time would appear in Cloud City..
It seemed a little irrational for a city branch to take the risk of being exposed to try just a piece of information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
But don’t forget that they were a cult, a cult that could only survive in the cracks.
As long as there was news, it was enough.
In any case, they usually worshipped and summoned the legendary evil gods. It was the same no matter who they summoned. The mission of the Cloud City branch was just a casual move for the higher-ups of the sect. But now, the ‘core material’ had actually appeared…
Therefore, even if the Black and White Ghosts were captured, the first thing they thought about was not how to escape, but how to spread the news.
The Black and White Impermanences, whose masks had been removed and handcuffed with special rune handcuffs, looked at each other and saw determination in each other’s eyes.
“Ughhh!”
On the way, Black Impermanence’s eyes suddenly rolled back, and his body twitched crazily. A large amount of white foam came out of his mouth.
“Brother Black!” “What’s wrong, Brother Black?” White Impermanence panicked. Is he sick again? Where’s the medicine? Where’s your medicine?
Hurry up and take your medicine!”
Black Impermanence was still twitching.
White Impermanence quickly pleaded with the law-enforcement officer who escorted them, I know our crimes are unforgivable, but Brother Black is sick now. You might not know this, but he has been suffering from congenital madness since he was young…”
A law enforcement officer looked at the information in his hand and asked curiously,”Dopey Li, what are you doing? We have all the information about you since you were young. Why are you pretending to have congenital epilepsy?”
White Impermanence’s expression froze.
Dopey Li was the name of Black Impermanence’s book.
What White Impermanence did not expect was that they had just been caught and their identities had been exposed.
The trick of pretending to be sick seemed to be…
When Dopey Li heard this, he hardened his heart. He immediately roused the spirit energy in his body and shattered a few meridians in his body.
For a moment, Dopey Li’s breathing was in disarray. His face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as a sheet of gold.
The expressions of the law-enforcement officers changed.
A police officer who had studied Chinese medicine quickly went forward and grabbed Dopey Li’s wrist.
Dopey Li was relieved. He had broken a few of his meridians. If he used a specialized instrument to check, he would definitely be able to find out the problem. However, if it was just taking his pulse, he was confident that whoever took his pulse would only be able to come to the conclusion that this person was seriously ill!
Even if it was checked by professional equipment, it did not matter.
As a professional cultist, he had already rehearsed similar situations countless times.
His injuries seemed serious, but they would not last for long. Coupled with the special cultivation technique he cultivated, those broken meridians would heal themselves in an extremely short period of time.
He would be able to recover when he was officially examined by a specialized instrument..
