Chapter 1769 – Soul Sacrifice Ceremony

　　The three people dressed as martial artists stood at the edge of this street with traffic and people coming and going, surprisingly they did not look out of place at all.

　　”Haha, Boss I don’t know why you look like you’re dressed like this right now really makes me want to laugh.”

　　Long Kun was draped in a black samurai costume, and actually had the heart to laugh at Xu Yang’s makeup that was full of special colors at the moment.

　　On the contrary, Qing Ya, who was also dressed as a man’s martial artist by his side, opened her mouth in time to reply for Boss Xu Yang’s innocence.

　　”On your dress, at a glance is a lewd villain look, actually still have the heart to smear our boss, really do not know what you this guy is thinking, the boss even if nothing to wear also the same than you have a lot of temperament.”

　　Qing Ya is absolutely from the heart of the opening, unknowingly also exposed their innermost most true thoughts, also let Xu Yang some tears and laughter, in turn, let the side of the Long Kun picked up a big advantage.

　　”Hahaha, I say Qing Ya you this dead girl piece still not from the truth, is not every night when sleeping, are secretly taking our boss to do some shy things?”

　　Qing Ya was Long Kun said immediately pretty face slightly red, this kind of topic is not suitable to get on the stage to speak, instinctively raised his hand and gave Long Kun a bit.

　　Unbeknownst to Qing Ya’s cultivation has now reached the Spiritual Void realm in the late stage of the hand without light or heavy, almost will Long Kun body outside of this pretense of the line set to hit the broken.

　　Just at this time, the patrol of a dozen or so teams of martial artists came to the front of Xu Yang three people, the head of that centurion with a cold face stepped off his horse.

　　”Are you three impatient to live?

　　Have you all forgotten what tonight is, it’s the most important festival of the year in our Holy Soul City.

　　All of you, give me your best, if any part of the ceremony is not perfect, it is likely to bring about serious consequences, can you three afford it?”

　　Xu Yang’s three men were very cooperative with the work of the centurion in front of them, and immediately lowered their heads and hurriedly rearranged their martial arts attire.

　　They rearranged themselves once more.

　　Standing upright in front of the centurion to receive a lecture, this only made this group of patrols leave with great satisfaction.

　　”Alright, alright, all be honest and stop fooling around, don’t forget that we have a more important task to accomplish tonight.”

　　Xu Yang pretended to be majestic, cleared his throat and reminded Long Kun and Qing Ya who were beside him.

　　Although with the strength of the three of them, even if they should break into this Sacred Soul City, they could easily solve all the troubles, but if they did that, they would inevitably expose their identities in advance.

　　That would definitely lead to a lot of bad results.

　　After all, nowadays, the three of them, Xu Yang, had a special agreement with the emperor of the empire.

　　It was under the guise of traveling to the Three Forbidden Regions to try and improve their cultivation that they had entered this Sacred Soul City.

　　If too much commotion was caused during this period, it would make the situation awkward and it would be difficult to turn around and resume orders with the Imperial Emperor, and it was only with this in mind that Xu Yang decided to resolve the problems within the Sacred Soul City as simply as possible this time around, and it was best not to startle the snakes and expose their identities.

　　Perhaps it was because such a ceremony was performed every year within the city-state, the entire Holy Souls City was extraordinarily excited for the entire day, from morning to night all the populace seemed extraordinarily excited.

　　This was because on this day every year, if they were able to witness the emergence of the talent of the Heaven’s Pride after the successful conclusion of the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony, all of the populace would be able to receive special rewards from the Imperial Clan’s exclusive team, and all of these martial practitioners within the city who were in charge of the guards would be able to receive different levels of rewards as well.

　　All in all, this Soul Sacrifice Ceremony seemed to be a festival of revelry throughout, with only those poor children becoming the victims.

　　In the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, the escort group that Xu Yang’s three men were in was moved to the center of the square where the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony was taking place, which was also the result of the arrangement that Xu Yang had planned to make a long time ago.

　　This was also the result of an arrangement that Xu Yang had planned to make earlier. This was because only in this place would it be convenient for the three of them to intervene in the entire process of the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony at any time, and they would also be able to gain the clearest view of the whole thing.

　　Sure enough right after all the martial artist posts were assembled.

　　The thousands of children waiting to take the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony test were escorted by a group of martial artists with special identities, and were sent to the center of the plaza in turn from the end of the longer street.

　　What Xu Yang did not expect was that along with these children, there were also thousands of victims with scars all over their bodies, all wearing prisoner’s clothing.

　　And the vast majority of these people are women, they look at the side, from their nearest cradle in the child crying hard, face written with pathos.

　　But the scene in front of them, they simply do not have any power to resist the martial artists around them.

　　”Boss have you noticed that those women all have common characteristics, they don’t seem to be women amongst the empire.”

　　Long Kun quickly discovered some details through his observation, and shared what he had discovered with Xu Yang and Qing Ya who were standing at the sentry position beside him at the first opportunity.

　　”Not bad.”

　　Xu Yang nodded with a grave expression on his face.

　　”If there is no error in my judgment, these women should all be captives of the Bibi Empire.

　　Previously, when we participated in the Hundred Martial Arts Alliance, we had dealt with those martial artists from the Bi Neighboring Empire, and I can’t misjudge the unique aura emanating from them, these women should all be prisoners of war captured after the battle between the two empires.

　　If that’s the case, then I’ll probably be able to guess the truth of the so-called Soul Sacrifice Ceremony.

　　It’s to use the new lives conceived from the bodies of these women prisoners of war to select good candidates with superb talent in martial cultivation to serve the empire in the future.

　　And these bitter women, without a doubt, had been reduced to machines for the empire to create new life.

　　Underneath the towering walls of this so-called gilded Holy Souls City, they had forever lost their most basic rights and interests as human beings.

　　It’s really too cruel, I can’t imagine that underneath the power of this seemingly glorious empire, it still possesses such inhumane practices.”

　　Xu Yang made his heart clear, and for the first time, he also wavered in his choice to support the Imperial Emperor, before the three of them had promised the Imperial Emperor to lead the martial forces within the empire to attack the Bibi Empire.

　　And that high and mighty Imperial Emperor, in front of Xu Yang’s three people played the posture of a weakling, never thought that he would actually condone those higher-ups within the Empire to do such unpleasant things.

　　Long Kun couldn’t help but open his mouth to inquire when he heard Xu Yang speak with such righteous indignation.

　　”Boss, then according to your thoughts, should we not reject the request made by that old emperor and no longer continue to serve him in the main battlefield?”
