Chapter 358 Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven
On all the main roads in Mingdu, soldiers in distinctive armor stood on both sides, with a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. A strong atmosphere of killing filled the entire city.

Under the pressure of the army, the people marched towards the southern suburbs in an orderly manner.

The scale of this heaven-sacrifice ceremony was extremely grand. For this purpose, the Sun and Moon Empire mobilized an army of more than people.

In the suburbs of Nanjiao, a huge altar was built half a month ago. The altar itself is a strange-shaped platform, with a circular shape on the left and a crescent shape on the right. It represents the sun and the moon, and is the symbol of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The circular altar covers an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters and is 10 meters high. It is built entirely of granite. On top of the platform, there are six layers of platforms. Each layer of platform is the same shape, shrinking one by one. The top platform is only 1,000 square meters in size.

All seven platforms are colored red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple from bottom to top, representing the colors of the rainbow.

There are eight stone steps around the altar that lead to the top one by one.

The area around the altar was already surrounded by a large army. In the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north, a soul guide position has been constructed. Although they are not soul guidance device positions on the same scale as the soul guidance corps, these four soul guidance device positions are all constructed by the most powerful royal soul guidance corps of the Sun and Moon Empire, and use the current Sun and Moon technology. The most advanced soul guide in the empire.

Outside the Sun and Moon Altar, the people had already surrounded the place under the command of the army. There were more than 20 million people from the Sun and Moon Empire living in Mingdu, which was the real core of the Sun and Moon Empire. At this time, there were millions of people coming to watch the ceremony, densely packed and endless.

Mu Ran did not mingle among the millions of people, but found a hidden place to watch the ceremony silently. There was no one else around him. The other titled Douluo, including Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong, all went to the arsenal in the east.

Using a tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, they first blew up the armory to draw away some of the fighting force, and then came to the east to assassinate Xu Tianran.

Mu Ran did not express his opinion on this countermeasure, after all, he was not the leader of this operation. Many people went to the east, so Mu Ran took the initiative to go to the west to check the situation.

The bright yellow dragon chariot came closer and closer. At this time, on the chariot, Xu Tianran sat upright, wearing a purple gold crown with nine dragons holding pearls and a gorgeous brocade robe of the Emperor of the Sun and Moon. Ju Zi, who sat next to him, was also wearing an extremely luxurious bright yellow palace dress with a smile on her face. Her headdress was full of the most precious jewels.

Juzi leaned on Xu Tianran with a gentle look on her face, as if this man was her world. Xu Tianran looked smug, looking at the people kneeling below, his heart filled with lofty ambitions.

Mu Ran looked at Ju Zi, he was not attracted by her beauty, but looked through her face to her heart. He felt that Ju Zi's feelings for Xu Tianran were not love, but a complex and contradictory one.

Jing Hongchen had said more than once that Queen Juzi was very trusted by Xu Tianran and they loved each other very much. But Mu Ran thought, it must be very difficult to live with a suspicious man like Xu Tianran and to live cautiously!

Under the attention of everyone, the dragon chariot finally arrived in front of the sun and moon ceremony rooftop.

Xu Tianran stood up, holding Juzi's hand, and slowly walked down the dragon chariot. Then he walked towards the altar.

At this time, the lower level of the altar was already full of people. Those who could stand on the sixth level below the altar were all important figures in the Sun and Moon Empire. For them, being able to stand here was an absolute honor. Jing Hongchen was also standing among them.

Xu Tianran's pace was not fast, but steady. When he reached the sixth floor of the Sun and Moon Altar, he naturally let go of Juzi's hand. Juzi then stopped and watched him climb to the seventh floor of the Sun and Moon Altar alone.

Step by step, he walked to the center of the seventh floor. When he stepped on the sun and moon gold and silver patterns, his whole body was covered with gold and silver brilliance.

Trumpets sounded and cannons fired.

Amid the roar, a flash of color flashed in the distance to the east.

There was no expression on Xu Tianran's face, but a group of the escorting troops quietly left the team and headed east.

When the team was far away, Mu Ran got up and chased after them. He wanted to deal with this group of people.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The roar continued to resound, but some people's faces changed slightly.

Jing Hongchen quietly raised his head and looked towards the east, their action had begun!
Eastern suburbs.

Shells were fired one after another, falling towards the distant arsenal. But the strange thing was that all these shells seemed to be fired from the void, and there was no trace of soul guides at the original location.

Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong held hands and stood silently on this seemingly empty land, which was of course not empty. Ten Zhuge Divine Crossbows were fully unleashing their power under the cover of simulated soul skills and mental interference fields.

Standing with them were other titled Douluo.

With Huo Yuhao's intervention, their actions went much more smoothly.

After several rounds of bombardment, when they still didn't come over, Du Bushu nodded: "It seems that Mu Ran has taken care of all those people. I heard Mu Ran said that he has arranged a task for you, you go quickly! I will leave the two of them to continue blowing up the arsenal. , the rest go to the southern suburbs."

Huo Yuhao nodded and left with Tang Wutong. The task assigned by Mu Ran was very simple, which was to go to the Red Dust Family’s base and pick up the people from the Red Dust Family before they left.

Only Huo Yuhao can complete this task perfectly because he has the Undead Space.

Send Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong away, and then the rest can start taking action without any scruples.

Du Buushi left the two of them behind and took out the things Mu Ran gave them and gave them to them. Using these things, not only can the outermost protective shield of the arsenal be broken open silently, but also many soul guides can be installed back using starlight sapphires.

After dealing with several groups of people, Mu Ran returned to the vicinity of the altar. At this time, Du Bu Si and others were about to arrive.

The matter of the arsenal could not be concealed for long. When someone discovered that no one had come back to report after sending out the troops, the truth would be exposed. Mu Ran only hoped that by then, the two Title Douluo would be able to bring back more soul guides.

A while ago, Du Bu Si and Mu Ran had a big argument about this matter. Du Bu Si hoped to use the technology of Blue Star Pavilion to destroy the arsenal. Mu Ran didn't want another Mingdu explosion, so he preferred to move the arsenal back home.

After several arguments, Du Bu Si finally agreed with Mu Ran's idea. However, there was little time left for the two Title Douluo, and it was unknown how much they could bring back.

Xu Tianran ignored what happened in the eastern suburbs and concentrated on reciting the eulogy.

At this moment, suddenly, a strange smell emanated from the air, and the sky suddenly darkened inexplicably.

The originally bright sunshine was instantly covered by dark clouds, and the Sun and Moon Altar, which was shining with colorful light, naturally dimmed.

Under the gaze of millions of people, the sky suddenly fell into darkness for no reason, and suddenly, feelings of panic suddenly appeared in the hearts of the people.

Xu Tianran's face finally turned gloomy.

The day of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was an auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory after multiple confirmations. Naturally, the dark clouds could not be a natural phenomenon. If it was not a natural disaster, then it could only be a man-made disaster.
