Chapter 447 - 213: Furious Father-in-Law! Terrifying Sacrificial Array! _6
More closely, he said in his ear: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, this is all hearsay. I don’t know if it’s true. There are many mysterious things in the world."
Yuchi nodded: "It’s okay, just say what you know. You’re not to blame."
"Alright then."
A ten percent chance?
Sacrificial Array?
Everyone simultaneously turned their gaze to the stunning woman. What is this thing they had never heard of before?
"It’s only a ten percent chance."
Huo Yuluo nodded, her pale golden eyes looked at the many corpses beneath her feet and said, "I have read many ancient texts. Although I haven’t studied some of them, I’ve roughly gone through them. One of the ancient texts introduced a similar Sacrificial Array."
"The main purpose of the Sacrificial Array is to summon Ancient Fierce Beasts."
Ancient Fierce Beasts?
The name itself reveals the nature of these things to everyone, but still, Huo Yuluo needed to explain slowly: "Ancient Fierce Beasts are neither ordinary humans, cultivators, nor any kind of demonic creature. They exist as a unique entity."
"Each time they appear, they bring about countless disasters. These disasters arrive silently, sometimes even impossible to trace back. For example, if a Sacrificial Array awakens an Ancient Fierce Beast representing plague, then a large area of the surrounding soil will experience a terrifying outbreak of disease."
"However, the array itself is often incomplete. Truly summoning an Ancient Fierce Beast here is unlikely at best. Mostly, some tokens might be summoned, akin to post-sacrifice prayers, such as a feather or a scale. These items are disposable, yet their might is terrifying."
"Once a plague breaks out, it’s not merely a problem for people and cultivators. Anyone targeted by the plague, unless a cultivator has the strength to counter a single feather, would surely be infected by the plague... But these items are disposable, meaning large numbers die suddenly without ongoing infection... At least, that’s what the book says."
Huo Yuluo didn’t know if she was speaking correctly, but that’s how it was described in the book.
In earlier years, the array that connected her to Yuchi did not originate from this book but from another. She offered a bowl of her own blood and a bit of her divine soul, which could summon such evil spirits. As for comparing these spirits to Ancient Fierce Beasts, they aren’t on the same level at all.
She wasn’t sure if she conveyed clearly, but that’s basically what it meant.
Everyone panicked; originally, they thought stepping forward was their responsibility, not expecting they themselves were in it, and genuinely in mortal peril?
Have these Ancient Fierce Beasts indeed emerged!?
A bit ferocious... Also, did I see a feather before? Yuchi’s mind flashed to Xun Yu, who seemed to have given him a feather before dying. But what was this feather? Xun Yu didn’t say. Could this feather be one incarnation of that damn Ancient Fierce Beast? Then could it summon a disaster with this feather?
Isn’t this thing somewhat terrifying?
Take this feather to Shanlan for a look when I return!
After pondering a bit, Yuchi suddenly asked: "Will the person presiding over the Sacrificial Array be alright?"
Yes, will the person presiding over the array die?
If the presiding person dies, then the opponent is certainly persistent, a determination to die.
But if the presiding person doesn’t die, then the opponent isn’t too "twisted," although already twisted to a certain degree...
Huo Yuluo shook her head, a small figure floating beside Yuchi, said: "For the Sacrificial Array, the first to be sacrificed is the person presiding over the array. They are sure to die. It’s unavoidable, as Ancient Fierce Beasts know the creator of their resentment, thus once accomplished, surely leads to death."
Yuchi: "..."
So what have we stumbled upon, some filthy creature? This filthy creature so vicious? Totally not alive anymore? So has this been a case of his wife being taken away, or unexpectedly becoming a dad!?
Looking around again: "Xun Xiaoxian isn’t here either. When did I become like her, turning into Poisonous Milk?"
Xun Xian: "..."
Huo Yuluo’s explanation instantly exceeded everyone’s imagination. Are there such dangerous things in this world? Summoning disasters? That’s utterly not alive anymore, yet dragging others along in same fate.
Yuchi then detected something further, asking, "They? Do you mean it’s not just one person?"
Earlier, Huo Yuluo said "they," suggesting more than one "fool," is this a den of fools?
It’s certainly so, Huo Yuluo affirmed again:
"The simplest array requires ten people to activate. So many corpses, probably need twenty people to activate it. And activating the array doesn’t need cultivators. As long as the array is drawn, participating means sacrificing oneself, to die. Whether human or demon, all can do this."
The scene remained silent.
Everyone resisted Huo Yuluo’s notion, not knowing her for one, and the idea seemed somewhat terrifying, as if deliberately scaring them.
If true... Then it’s not merely Canglan City’s matter, but a widespread city affair.
