Master Fu’s Ace Wife

Chapter 428 I'm Not Too Late (The Sacrifice is Suspended)

The torches on the sacrificial altar will only be lit during sacrificial offerings, and that is the most mysterious place in the entire palace.

For the royal family of K, the sacrificial altar is very important, and many descendants of the royal family know it clearly.

This torch will only be ignited when the crown prince or the new king is selected to succeed to the throne, and it will not be easily ignited if divination does not involve the fortune of the country.

But now, it is not any important period, but it lights up after nightfall.

The earl's family members who were staying in the guest hall all looked in the direction of the sacrificial altar in unison.

Now that the torch is lit, I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

Hatas and his group hurried to the open space in front of the sacrificial altar, and when they looked up, they saw two teenagers running out of the hall behind the altar.

Behind the two of them was a group of guards holding heavy weapons, chasing after them, looking like they wanted to fight or kill.

"Sister Su!!" Lu Min hurriedly called out when he saw someone.

Xia Chen's voice was hurried, "We can't find the boss!!"

These words made Yin Sa and Lu Zhizhou's expressions change, no matter where Wen Li was, Lu Min and Xia Chen would always be with him.

Now that the two said they couldn't find Wen Li, they were just kidding.

"The indicator is right here, so there must be no problem." Su Jingjing clapped the instrument in her hand as she said.

People must be in this place without a doubt.

"What do you mean you can't find it?" Yin Sa looked at the two teenagers.

These two people are very skilled, they have always come and gone without a trace, how could they be chased by others.

Sure enough, Su Jingjing looked at the sweat on the foreheads of the two, and grabbed the man's hand.

Lu Zhizhou also stepped forward to support Xia Chen.

"Drugged?"

Xia Chen nodded, panting in vain, the difference was that after they were drugged, they took the antidote given by the boss.

However, it takes time for the antidote to take effect. The two of them didn't have much strength, and the cold sweat dripped down their foreheads. The people watching were terrified.

"Leave us alone, Madam was taken away by Lu Zhizhou's father." Lu Min was supported by Dong Qing, and he looked so powerless.

Hearing this, Hatas hurried forward with his personal guards, leaving them behind.

"Why is my father arresting Wen Li?" Lu Zhizhou followed them in confusion.

"The signal has disappeared." Su Jingjing put the instrument away.

But it can be determined that the person is here, whether it is on the ground or underground, no one can find it.

Lu Min stood beside Su Jingjing with his chest propped up, his face extremely pale, "It's useless, there seems to be a special magnetic field intervention here, and all the electronic devices are useless after they come in."

The other party must have made sufficient preparations.

Hatas led the people across the four doors and steps, and was stopped when they approached the small courtyard in the middle hall.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go there."

Yin Sa recognized this person. He was the person who was with Prince Pei and also the supervisor of the sacrificial altar.

"Get out of the way!" Hatas looked gloomy.

The man was not timid, and his posture was generous and calm, "The previous kings could only enter the sacrificial altar at a fixed time. I am afraid you have lost your mind."

This person said this, but he didn't mean to let go at all.

"Take it."

Following Hatas' order, Yun Mu had already lifted the person away, and all those who were in the way were tied up.

Not to mention that these accompanying soldiers were afraid, even the old man who had lived in the palace for so many years and was in charge of guarding the sacrificial altar was startled.

The successive kings of country K respected the sacrificial altar, and always treated the high priest with courtesy, and never interfered with the sacrificial altar at will.

In order to prevent accidents at the sacrificial altar, the royal family also restrained it, and arranged for members of the royal family other than the direct line of the royal family to take care of it.

In the eyes of many people, the sacrificial altar is a very sacred place in the eyes of the royal family, which can be described by two words: faith.

But now His Majesty the King has sent people to surround the entire sacrificial altar without warning, which is a big deal.

Moreover, His Majesty the King's face was full of anger, which was full of anger.

Hatas led people directly into the palace where Prince Pei lived behind the sacrificial altar. Standing in the courtyard, everyone could vaguely feel the chill and indifference in the air.

"Search!"

Following Hatas' order, Yun Mu led the team into countless teams and scattered in the palace.

"His Majesty."

A man in sacrificial attire came out of the main hall and walked straight to Hatas with a neither humble nor overbearing posture.

"Prince Pei asked me to wait here just to wait for His Majesty and tell His Majesty something."

Hatas looked at the person in front of him without saying a word.

"You made mistakes back then, don't make mistakes again and again now, don't forget your mission and responsibility, you are the king of country K, different from ordinary people, now Prince Pei is making up for your mistakes back then, If you can't be so cruel, you will be a sinner to the entire K country, and you will be infamous forever, so you should take people back to rest first."

Such earnest persuasion did not make Hatas listen to half of it.

Su Jingjing brought Xia Chen and Lu Min back. Although they were confused, they could still recognize the direction.

"You two, tell me what happened just now?" Hatas looked at the two teenagers.

Xia Chen pointed to the opposite side, "We saw with our own eyes that the boss was brought into the underground palace from there by Prince Pei, but we didn't find that door when we went there just now, and that door mysteriously disappeared."

The door was clearly seen by both of them, but when they looked for it again, it disappeared without a trace. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Min was still with him, Xia Chen would have wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

After listening to what they said, Dongqing took people over to check around, and confirmed that it was just a wall.

"Tear down this wall." Yin Sa ordered.

Dong Qing led the people to do it neatly, and after a while of operation, it proved that this was really just a wall.

Not any door to the dungeon, nor any entrance.

"Did you remember wrongly?" Lu Zhizhou followed suit.

It's a good door, it won't be so strange that it's missing.

"This place is sealed by an enchantment, and that door is not an ordinary door, so it won't be found so casually." Gu Ningxi said.

Su Jingjing turned around and realized that she was still following this little ancestor, how could she forget about this person.

"Enchantment?" Hatas looked at Gu Ningxi and repeated this sentence.

"And the technique and spiritual power used in this enchantment are the strongest. It should have been planted a hundred years ago. It should be doing something very important, for fear of being disturbed by others." Gu Ningxi raised her head look at the sky.

Even if the people around her couldn't detect it, she could clearly see the huge ball of light covering the entire sacrificial altar.

It covered the entire sacrificial altar like a huge hood.

The torches lit on the stage suddenly brightened, causing everyone to look back suddenly. Sparks danced in the air, like bright stars in the dark night sky.

"What method should we use to rescue Wen Li?" Hatas pushed aside the people around him and looked at the little girl in front of him.

Gu Ningxi looked at Hatas for a while, the worry in the old man's eyes was not deceiving.

"Although I don't know what kind of ceremony is going on here, but this ceremony seems to have begun. This enchantment should not be opened until after the ceremony is over. If you want to force your way in, there is a way."

After hearing Gu Ningxi's words, Hatas hurriedly asked, "Any way, no matter what."

Su Jingjing patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be scary, just tell me if you can open this barrier."

Although I don't know what's going on here, but Prince Pei took so much effort to trick Wen Li over here, which made Hatas lose his sense of control.

It can't be a good thing. When it's over, this person will be cold.

"There is a way, but it will take some time. I'm already making preparations." Gu Ningxi said.

The elder brother had already reminded her when he came here last time. In order to prevent her from losing the chain at a critical moment, the elder brother planted spells on the entire palace. It is not too difficult to find sister Wen Li.

"You are the king, can I borrow some of your blood?"

Just after Gu Ningxi finished speaking, Hatas had already taken the dagger and cut his wrist.

...

Inside the underground palace, Wen Li, who was forced to leave the ground, was suspended in mid-air, and the blood dripping from her fingers suddenly accelerated and gathered on the ground.

Looking down from the top, she realized that the place she was standing just now was in the middle of a huge stone formation.

The ground is a whole piece of marble, but there are particularly strange patterns engraved on it, forming a strange pattern under large and small shapes.

A sentence was written in an ancient script on the very edge.

The blood dripping from her fingertips fell in the middle of the pattern, and spread forward along the engraved ravine, soon filling the entire pattern.

The black air continuously emerging from the crystal enveloped her whole body, and finally turned into a human-shaped skeleton facing her four eyes.

"Fallen God!" The high priest stopped dancing, knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, and uttered a respectful cry to the person.

"Do you want to sacrifice me to this kind of thing?" Wen Li looked at the skull in front of him coldly.

It really looks like something that would scare people into tears. If a timid person sees such a thing that is neither human nor ghost, he would have been scared to death long ago.

"Now I offer the offering as promised, I hope the fallen god will accept it, take back the punishment of the gods, and protect the prosperity of our K country for a hundred years." Prince Pei had already bowed to salute.

A hand melted into the black mist, reaching out towards Wen Li.

Before she touched Wen Li, a burst of purple light suddenly appeared from her hand, which turned into a sharp blade and broke through the black mist in an instant.

"what happened???!!"

Seeing this, the high priest yelled crazily, but it still didn't help. He watched helplessly as the purple air chased after the Fallen Angel in their eyes, forcefully forcing him back into the crystal.

Without the support of that force, Wen Li fell from mid-air, and before she landed, a force supported her to stand up firmly.

With their limbs firmly on the ground, Prince Pei and the high priest looked at the girl who suddenly appeared beside Wen Li.

In a long dress in Tsing Yi, her face is beautiful, her skin is white, her waist is curly and slender, and the corners of her eyes are raised with a touch of charm. The strength that supports Wen Li's body comes from her hands.

"I'm not too late, am I?" the girl asked Wen Li.

After standing still on the ground, Wen Li swept across the crystal stone behind her, and laughed softly, "Just right."

"Who are you?!" Prince Pei looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.

Although they don't have supernatural powers and can't drive very powerful forces like those people, all the crystals here are extraordinary.

According to all the classics collected on the sacrificial altar, once the sacrificial ceremony begins, no one can stop the barrier opened by the crystal stones on the outside.

The sacrifice has been going on for so many years, and there has never been a break-in in the middle of the sacrifice, but today, this woman broke in easily.

"What should we do now? This crystal seems to be blocking something, and it does act as a seal." She raised her head, scanning all the crystals with her eyes.

When rushing over from there, she was more or less hindered, but fortunately she caught up.

"If the sacrifice is suspended, will the seal collapse?" Wen Li looked at the person in front of him.

The girl turned around and glanced, "Since it is a blood contract, there must be something to pay, there are gains and losses, this is a contract they signed themselves, and there must be a price to pay."

Prince Pei looked at the person who appeared suddenly, and heard her words clearly, and quickly refuted them.

"Since you also said that what you gain is what you lose, why do you want to stop our sacrifice? You are from there, and you did it on purpose!"

She admitted to this, "This is indeed an unavoidable blood contract, but she did not sign this contract. If you make your own decisions to decide the fate of others, I can take care of it."

On the Wuzhou Continent, there is indeed a saying that after the blood contract is formed, there is no way to escape. Only when the contract is released can one be freed from the shackles.

It's just that the people here were able to sign a contract with the fallen angels, and they were able to find such a power as a backer, sealing the entire entrance and exit.

He also used this method to maintain the peace here, but it is a pity that signing a contract with the Fallen Angel will always only pay losses, not gains.

"Your affairs have nothing to do with me. I don't care even if you sacrificed people from your entire dynasty today, but this person can't do it. I have to take this person away. I'm sorry."

These words have already expressed their attitude.

"No, you can't take her away! Absolutely not!!" The high priest rushed over suddenly, "If she doesn't sacrifice and offend the gods, the entire K country will suffer!! Everyone will die, and blood will flow all over the ground , corpses piled up, turned into numerous bones!! She can't go, no way!!!"

She was chosen by the Fallen God after Le Jia, which proved that the Fallen God forgave Le Jia's deceit, even if there was forgiveness from the gods, it would not be able to do it again.

A white light flashed, and Gu Ningxi led a few people to stand between Prince Pei and Wen Li.

The strong smell of blood coming towards them was frightening. Hatas and Yin Sa were the first to react, and at the same time saw the girl standing there with a pale face.

"Wen Li!!"

Yin Sa rushed over to hug her, checked her body up and down, and after making sure that she was fine, Yin Sa breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, uncle is here, and uncle is here." He hugged Wen Li and murmured comfortingly, "Uncle will not let anyone hurt you, absolutely not."

After Su Jingjing saw the scene in front of her clearly, she raised her hand and rubbed Gu Ningxi's head, "Okay, little girl, it's quite amazing."

Wen Li was found in a short while, what a surprising child.

"It's okay." Gu Ningxi looked at the woman beside Wen Li.

Who is she, there is a very familiar feeling on her body.

"Father, what exactly do you want to do to Wen Li!" Lu Zhizhou stepped in front of Prince Pei in two steps.

But the man didn't reply him, and raised his eyes to look at Hatas opposite.

"Is Your Majesty planning to make the same mistake again and again?"

Hatas stood beside Yin Sa and Wen Li, and after being silent for a long time, he told Yin Sa, "Take Wen Li and leave first."

Some things cannot be avoided, especially him, and he is not allowed to have the opportunity to escape.

"There have been frequent disasters this year, tsunamis, droughts, floods, and earthquakes. The whole country has been devastated. Haven't you woken up yet? You really don't regret having a princess alive, but you have to let many people be buried with you? Did you take the oath you made when you took office?"

Prince Pei's words, word by word, pierced Hatas's heart fiercely.

It's like telling him he's not a good father or a good king.

It is ridiculous to sit in this position who cannot protect the children, protect the country, let alone protect the people.

"Pei, anyone can do it, but she can't."

"Why?" Prince Pei was stunned, "You sent Princess Le Jia away with a trick, because you know that Princess Le Jia will sacrifice without hesitation. She is the princess of country K, and she has a dignified appearance from birth. It is doomed that this is the price she has to pay, and now this child, she is Le Jia's biological daughter, her fate is doomed!!"

She must sacrifice for the country.

Hatas took a step forward and looked at Prince Pei, "She was born among the people, and she never enjoyed the glory and respect of a princess for a moment. She was not worshiped by all the people, and she did not eat a single corn in K country. The water and soil here have never nurtured her. The people We have never treated her kindly, so what reason do we have to let her make the same choice as Le Jia?"

Since ancient times, people in high positions have always had to pay a corresponding price, bearing the same price as their lives, in order to sit safely in that position.

"She has only lived for 20 years, and half of her life has been in pain. We are not qualified to ask her to sacrifice."

Prince Pei clearly saw the redness and pain in Hatas's eyes, and couldn't say anything for a while.

"I was indeed wrong. I was selfish once for my daughter. I thought it would be fine to send her away and live a good life, but I ignored that there are always people in this world who can still find her. I'm selfish, always thinking that it would be good to keep Wen Li by my side for a few more days."

"Although I am not a competent king, you can rest assured that I will take responsibility, but there is only one point before that, don't touch this child."

He had already failed to keep his daughter, and could no longer lose the child.

At least let him come down in the future, and he can talk to Le Jia with peace of mind...
