Chapter 2915
"Hmph ~" Ji Man snorted coldly once again. With a point of his finger, Hiderigami immediately fell from the sky like a huge boulder. With a loud 'boom', it smashed into the foot of the mountain, shattering a huge boulder at the foot of the mountain.
"Watch this thing carefully!"
Ji Man instructed. Turning around, he transformed into a streak of light and charged towards the hall. The thirty five elders did not dare to be negligent. They descended from the air and surrounded Hanba. Green light was faintly discernible on their bone staffs. Clearly, they were on high alert.
Ji Man's figure appeared in front of the palace door. The bone staff glowed with green light again. Ji Man waved his hand and the green light streaked across the sky like a sharp sword. A green crack appeared in the air in front of the palace door. This crack slowly split open and pulled to both sides. At the same time, the green light rolled up like a rolling curtain. "Roar!" The green light rolled up halfway. A roar came from the green light and the two green lights turned into a beast's head.
The beast head became slightly more solid, then turned around and charged toward the two deathly white bone doors at the entrance of the palace.
With a loud "boom", the beast's head sank into the bone doors. The two bone doors glowed with green light and blood gradually appeared. It was like the blood in the Netherworld Sea. It flowed along the bone doors. When the entire bone doors were covered by the blood, Ji Man opened his mouth and chanted in the Houtu Village's witchcraft language. A flight of stairs gradually appeared in the blood. It extended from the bone doors and extended to Ji Man's feet!
The blood gradually turned into a ferocious beast's head. It opened its bloody mouth and waited to devour the guests on the stairs!
Ji Man glanced at the stairs under his feet and slowly stepped onto it. The stairs changed and brought Ji Man's body into the mouth of the beast head that was formed by the palace door.
As for the guards, when they saw Ji Man go, they quickly grabbed Xiao Mao and the others. Especially the guard who was freed from Xiao Hua's hands by using the green seal scripture. He kicked Xiao Hua fiercely a few times before grabbing Xiao Hua's neck and jumping up the stairs!
The stairs were also strange. As the guards jumped up, the stairs suddenly widened. It did not feel crowded when the few of them stood together.
Naturally, the rest of the people also stepped onto the stairs after the guards!
Xiao Hua's face was facing down. He could only see the stairs constantly changing, followed by a blood red color and the smell of blood. In the end, Xiao Hua saw a ground full of bones and skeletons!
"Plop." Xiao Hua was casually thrown to the ground like an object. Only now did he have the chance to raise his face and see the situation of this hall clearly.
Just as Xiao Hua thought, the ancestral shrine of Houtu Village was this huge bone hall. There were no pillars in the center of the bone hall. The roof of the hall was made of bones and skeletons, and the floor was also made of bones and skeletons. In fact, it was not clear which was the floor and which was the roof!
At the top of the hall was a blood-red curtain that blocked everyone's view. What was behind the curtain couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Not even soulsense or divine sense could see through it.
Ji Man quietly stood in front of the curtain. Her eyes stared at the blood-red curtain, and two traces of blood could be seen in her eyes!
"Cough cough ~" After everyone who could enter the ancestral shrine had entered, Ji Man coughed twice, turned around, and raised her hand. It was the token of Senior Wu. With a cold voice, she said, "Everyone, you have all seen it. For the sake of Ji Man's position, Ziming had schemed a lot. Not only did he use Houtu Village's Hanba as bait to lure Ziyan, then he used Hanba's bloodline power to kill Ziyan. Furthermore, he had also leaked the secret of Meng Mountain to the cultivators of Dao Sect. As a cultivator of Dao Sect, this Xiao Hua actually knows some witchcraft arts. This old woman really doesn't know how many secrets Ziming had leaked out!"
"Ziming's evil deeds have already violated the teachings of our ancestors. Although he is the primary candidate for Ji Man, this old woman has decided to send him back to the embrace of Houtu Great God, so that he can reflect on his actions!
As for these cultivators of Dao Sect, they are the murderers of Ziyan. This old woman will also exterminate them to avenge Ziyan! "
After she finished speaking, Ji Man turned around and faced the blood-red curtain. She knelt down, and a voice of Yin and Yang came out from her mouth. It seemed like she was praying, but also seemed like she was telling something. All the Soul Warriors and elders behind her also knelt down, and a similar voice came out from their mouths.
Following these voices, strands of green light slowly appeared, and floated towards the blood-red curtain!
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the green light on the blood-red curtain increased, and gradually formed a layer of green mist.
At this moment, Ji Man stood up from the ground and raised the token in her hand. The token flew into the air and rushed into the mist. With a buzzing sound, all of the mist was sucked in by the token. The token trembled for a moment, then turned into a strange beast head the size of a fist. The beast head suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and a beam of green light shot out, landing on the blood-red curtain. The curtain gradually opened, and a huge statue of Houtu Great God appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Wuuu ~" A series of strange high-pitched sounds came from the mouths of the Houtu Stronghold's residents. Everyone piously knelt down again.
The gigantic statue of a deity was floating in midair, and the two hands in front of it were holding two jade snakes in a hugging posture.
There were many thumb-sized bone grains in front of the statue, and each bone grain was engraved with strange runes. These should be the sacrificial tablets of the Houtu Stronghold's ancestors. These bone grains were densely packed, and they floated between the arms and the jade snakes, as if they had really returned to Houtu Great God's embrace.
Below the statue, there was a small sacrificial table. The table wasn't empty, and besides a few flickering green candles, there was a furry thing lying lazily on the table.
At this moment, the furry thing seemed to have been awakened by the noise. It poked its head out from the table, and it looked like a dog's head. However, as the dog's head poked out, a faint beam of light shot out from its mouth. As the light grew more and more sinister, wisps of blood-red light appeared in the air above the ancestral hall, and mournful cries could be heard. On top of the dog's head, the two sparkling eyes on its head swept across the soul cultivators, and a kind of fear that came from the soul cultivators' souls was born. Aside from a few old soul cultivators whose bodies were flashing with green light, the rest of the soul cultivators fell to the ground and bowed with trembling bodies.
When Ji Man saw that the dog had been awakened, she hurriedly bowed and began to chant some strange incantations.
The black dog aimlessly glanced at the people kneeling before the offering table. Suddenly, its little nose wrinkled and its entire body trembled. With a "whoosh", the black dog flew up from the offering table. Like a black lightning bolt, it rushed in front of the crowd. The people kneeling on the ground were like stones in a pond. They were so scared that they rolled around on the ground. It was as if they were extremely afraid of the black dog!
However, to everyone's surprise, that black dog didn't pay attention to anyone. Instead … it obediently flew in front of Xiao Hua, who was half lying on the ground. "Woof woof, woof woof ~" A burst of joyful barks sounded. That black dog actually started to happily play around in the air. In the end, it actually landed on Xiao Hua's shoulder, leaving everyone dumbstruck …
"This …. This …." Ji Man looked at all of this in a daze. She knew that Zi Ming had already served this sacred beast for dozens of years. If she were to use Elder Wu's token in the ancestral hall, it would inevitably alarm the sacred beast. Perhaps, it would disrupt her plans.
However, she already had a plan and a plan to deal with it. But what she never expected was that the sacred beast was indeed alarmed. Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary alarm. But …. the one who alarmed the sacred beast wasn't Zi Ming, but that mysterious Xiao Hua!
Ji Man could clearly feel the sacred beast's ecstasy and attachment!
"Zhang Xiaohua??"
Ji Man suddenly came to a realization. She once again looked at Xiao Hua with an inconceivable gaze. "This is the sword practitioner that the sacred beast is looking for …. Zhang Xiaohua???"
"Daddy, daddy …." When the black dog landed on Xiao Hua's shoulder, a voice emerged from the bottom of Xiao Hua's heart. It made Xiao Hua somewhat confused. But when the black dog's warm tongue licked his ear, Xiao Hua's heart trembled. He hurriedly replied, "You …. You are …. Little Black?"
"Daddy ~" Little Black replied. It happily leaped over Xiao Hua's head and landed on his other shoulder!
At this moment, in the ancestral hall, everyone was stunned like clay statues. They forgot to fear and tremble.
Even Zi Ming who was extremely familiar with the sacred beast was unable to react. Her thoughts were the same as Ji Man's. She didn't know how Xiao Hua became the flying sword wielding Zhang Xiaohua that the sacred beast was talking about.
"Wu ~" Little Black happily jumped a few times. Seeing that Xiao Hua didn't react, it angrily whimpered a few times. It opened its mouth and with a "Ha" sound, a white light flashed. It spat on the dark green light that was binding Xiao Hua!
The moment the light touched the white light, it immediately melted!
"Sacred beast ~" Ji Man hurriedly shouted. Immediately after, she uttered some incomprehensible shaman language, as if she was asking something!
Who would have thought that at this moment, Little Black completely ignored Ji Man. It immediately flew up from Xiao Hua's shoulder and barked randomly …
"This …." Ji Man hesitated. She didn't need to communicate with the sacred beast. She also knew that the sacred beast wanted her to release Xiao Hua.
But if she released Xiao Hua, Zi Ming …. would naturally be released as well. Then …. How would she repay Zi Yan's revenge?
"Woof woof ~" Little Black urged again. It seemed that it was already somewhat anxious.
Ji Man bit her lips tightly. The expression on her face changed several times. She was really somewhat unwilling!
She finally made the decision. She was finally going to take revenge. But at this final stage, there was a variable that she couldn't resist. Could she let go?
"Kill???" A trace of ominous light flashed through Ji Man's eyes ….
