Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 156 Are you awake? Your association exploded!
The Lord of Blood Sacrifice, he then slowly raised his right hand and drew a perfect circle in the air.

A deep crack then appeared on his horrifyingly flat face, which was missing all the facial features, revealing jagged yellowed fangs and eyes embedded in the flesh.

After waiting for a moment, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice sensed that he had established some kind of connection with the spiritual transmission far away in the territory of Songyuan in the Nolan Empire.

At the same time, a strange, mottled luster appeared on the outline of the "circle" drawn in front of him.

The blurred picture is gradually emerging in the "circle".

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice faced the "circle" and his whole body began to tremble slightly. His strong excitement and anticipation were fully revealed through his body movements.

The picture gradually became clear, and the Lord of Blood Sacrifice finally saw clearly that it was the leader of the stronghold in Songyuan Territory - Teshul City, a destroyer with a bull's head.

“Why is it him…?” The Lord of Blood Sacrifice was puzzled.

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice expected that Setis, the "Shadow of Slaughter", should be the first to report to him.

Setis is in charge of hunting down the "universalist" Rocklan and retrieving the sacred object "Two-Faced Doll" from him. This is what the Lord of Blood Sacrifice is most concerned about and the "top priority" of this conspiracy.

However, the one who had a spiritual connection with the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was just a "body destroyer"! This made the Lord of Blood Sacrifice lose interest for a while, but he did not cut off the connection immediately.

"My Lord... My Lord... My Lord..."

In the picture, the minotaur destroyer was showing panic, his voice was trembling with fear, and his body was shaking.

"……explain."

The crack on the face of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice opened slightly, and an extremely sharp sound came out of it.

"Answer me, Adul. Tell me the reason for your disturbance..."

"..."

Just as the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was questioning, he suddenly heard a dull sound of tearing cloth.

The facial expression of Adul, the "Destroyer" in the picture, suddenly froze, and was replaced by a sharp blade piercing his neck from behind.

Blood spurted out from the wound instantly. Adul, the "Destroyer", grabbed his own neck tightly with both hands, trying to stop the bleeding.

But the bright red, thick and smelly liquid flowed out from between his fingers, slowly fell downwards, and finally gathered in the pit on the ground.

"Ho ho... ho..."

Adul's throat rolled and he made a painful sound.

But soon, another sharp blade appeared from the side, and a pale golden light flashed.

Adul's bull head was chopped off on the spot, rolling on the ground, leaving a long, irregular trail of blood.

"..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice watched through the spiritual link as a "Destroyer" with a triple destiny was killed on the spot in front of him!
He felt a surge of intense anger in his heart, but he also felt that something was wrong.

...time, at this special time, someone forced the "Destroyer" to activate the magic crystal ball and get in touch with himself?

Lord of Blood Sacrifice, this is all he could think of for now.

Because not long ago, the same thing happened in the stronghold of the "Destroyer" Samu in Sina City.

At the beginning, the "priest" who provoked him knew how to activate the magic crystal ball that was secretly enchanted, which was shocking enough for the Lord of Blood Sacrifice... Until now, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice has not been able to figure out what is going on.

While the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was thinking, he was also staring closely at the scene in front of him, not wanting to miss any details.

Suddenly, the image in the circle trembled violently.

Someone patted the crystal ball, and then a human face suddenly appeared in the picture.

It was a plain and ordinary face of a standard middle-aged man that could be seen almost everywhere in the Nolan Empire.

With slightly curly grey-brown hair, an angular face and a pair of light golden eyes, he was carefully looking at the alien in the "crystal ball".

"...Hey, Sorel, come and see."

The man suddenly spoke, and called out to the side, "The Archbishop is right. Let the 'Destroyers' here open the magic crystals in their deep rooms, and you will see the 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice' himself..."

"..."

"Really? Captain Seno, really? You mean the 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice' himself? Really?"

A cheerful voice came from the man's side, "Let me see, let me see..."

In the circle in front of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, the scene suddenly changed again.

The middle-aged man's face retreated to the side, and then a young face flashed in, with a clear light of curiosity in his eyes.

"Wow..."

The young man named "Sorrel" exclaimed in amazement from the bottom of his heart.

"Captain Seno! This guy, he...he is so ugly!"

"..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice, black lines suddenly flashed across his face, and at the same time, an extremely manic spiritual surge was aroused around him.

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice swung his right hand forward violently, and the ring in front of him shattered the next moment, turning into gray powder and dissipating into the air.

The image in the ring suddenly disappeared, and in front of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, there was only the bottom of the blood cave and the despairing silence and death.

What's going on...what's going on...what's going on?!
An extremely ominous premonition suddenly emerged in the mind of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

Before, he did not force himself to contact the "Shadow of Slaughter" and other thorns. One reason was because he felt at ease, and the other was because this was the dangerous moment when his "backlash" would occur.

After losing the "two-faced puppet", the Lord of Blood Sacrifice suffered the backlash of flesh and blood every time. The pain transmitted from his body always made him unable to live or die.

And every full moon night when the "backlash" occurred, he would always come to the deepest part of this forbidden blood cave and fall into a state of near madness alone.

In addition, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice had tried various methods to remove the "Seal of Broken Rings" that Fabion had carved for him long ago during the "Holy War" - a holy seal condensed from the authority of "Glory", but had failed.

The "Seal of Severing Vows" remains in the main body of the Blood Sacrifice to this day, which has caused the originally stable fusion between the various "flesh and blood" that have merged into his current appearance to be completely disrupted and reconstructed. This has caused the pain felt by the Lord of the Blood Sacrifice to be multiplied when he suffered "backlash"!
"..."

When the Lord of Blood Sacrifice thought of Fabion and the current bishop of the Sina City Church, he felt hatred clenching his teeth.

However, this is not something I should worry about... The Lord of Blood Sacrifice thought so.

The person who should consider how to deal with "Fabion Novellain" was not him, but the ancestral bishop from the "Original Sect".

The question he should be thinking about now is - why would the "Holy Judge" suddenly try to contact him under the guise of the "Destroyer"? !

The two people who appeared on the screen before, from their clothes, and the traces of holy light that were intentionally or unintentionally exposed when they killed the "Destroyer" Adul, were enough for the Lord of Blood Sacrifice to guess their identities - they were undoubtedly the "Holy Judges"!
Is this a mockery? Or a provocation...

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice was in deep thought. He had never encountered such a thing before.

Moreover, the middle-aged Holy Inquisitor even said, "The Archbishop is right"...

Is this a direct instruction from the Archbishop of the Holy See Church - Songyuanling Diocese?

"..."

As he thought about it, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice felt more and more an ominous premonition.

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice had just survived a round of backlash during the full moon night. He sat back on his red lotus stone seat and raised his right hand again, trying to establish a new spiritual link with the other party who had performed the "inscription".

He first tried to establish a spiritual connection with Setis, the Shadow of Slaughter.

However, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice waited for a long time but could not sense any breath from the other end.

The "engraving" he had done on Setis, the "Shadow of Slaughter", disappeared inexplicably, which could only point to one result -

"Shadow of Killing" Setis, he is dead!

"Could it be that the 'Shadow of Slaughter' actually failed? This can't be possible, this shouldn't be possible..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice murmured, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, making him feel fear and uneasiness in his heart.

He then severed the spiritual link with the "Shadow of Slaughter" and tried instead to get in touch with other thorns in the "Songyuan Territory".

As a result, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice tried to connect with the thorns of the seven "Quadruple Fates" one after another, but he was unable to sense the other party's breath.

The "engraving" that he had performed on them did not show any reaction at all. "Dead... all dead..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice was stunned. He was dazed for two seconds, and then a sharp roar came out from the cracks on his face.

"--ah!!!!!"

"——Who on earth is it…"

“——What the hell is going on!!!”

"..."

After venting the rage in his heart for a while, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice felt that his mood had calmed down a little.

After calming down, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice no longer contacted the thorns in the "Songyuan Territory".

He was silent for a while, then slowly raised his left hand and used his fingers like a cutting knife to cut the flesh of his right arm.

Gray blood flowed out from his arm. The Lord of Blood Sacrifice let the blood wrap around his fingers, and then drew a circle in the air again.

A dark grey light flickered as the Lord of Blood Sacrifice waited for his spies far away in the "Imperial Capital" to accept his spiritual connection.

After waiting for a moment, the arc in front of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice suddenly trembled.

New images emerged before him and gradually became clearer.

Appearing before the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was a figure dressed in imperial aristocratic clothing.

His face was blurred and invisible, but one could still judge his identity and status from the luxurious environment around him.

"…Long time no see, 'The Cursed', my friend."

The other party greeted the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, but in an almost joking tone.

"In Songyuan Territory, all my people died."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice ignored this meaningful greeting and directly asked the "noble" opposite:
"…Tell me what happened outside!"

"..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Don't panic, my friend."

The "noble" waved his hand, his tone still sounding frivolous and empty.

"It's just that the clergy of the Holy Court got the complete distribution map of your bases in Songyuan Territory from somewhere. That's it."

"...I've already guessed it."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice answered in a cold voice, but the other party seemed to be very interested in this topic and asked as if to ask further questions:
"I can't believe it! You, Blood of Thorns, would actually have such an information leak... Logically speaking, this is impossible, right?"

"My friend, can you tell me what is going on? Oh... my damn desire for knowledge..."

"..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice did not answer him, but just let him continue to amuse himself by asking one question after another.

——As expected, all the strongholds within the territory of Songyuan were eliminated.

Lord of Blood Sacrifice, he just wanted to confirm the answer.

If this is the case, then all the pre-planning plans regarding "Twilight" must have suffered a fatal setback.

If things go as expected, the actions of the "Original Sect" should have been declared a failure.

This is too much of a coincidence, in every way and at every time.

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice thought carefully, and what might have been leaked might also be the conspiracy they were carrying out in their stronghold in Sina City.

At that time, two more [Intellectual] Warlocks were discovered and killed by them on the spot...

But who can guarantee that there are only those two warlocks at the scene?

The "Executioner" Koros, he was looking forward to this...

But now that things have come to this, it is an irreversible defeat.

"..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice was silent, a long silence.

Until the figure reflected by the gray light curtain in the arc in front of him "woken up" him in a slightly dissatisfied tone after noticing that no one seemed to have responded to his question for a long time.

"My friend! You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep..."

The "noble" said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, this is just a small failure, I know that. The disgusting piece of meat you lost can be quickly replaced..."

"This is different." The Lord of Blood Sacrifice shook his head.

“…This is a serious failure.”

"..."

"Are you trying to say that the 'Dusk' plan cannot proceed just because of this?"

"...?"

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice was stunned for a moment, and his terrifying face met the gaze of the "noble" again.

"You have to understand, my friend."

The "noble" said in a half-joking, half-serious tone:

"Our purpose is to fight war."

"'Dusk', it's just an attempt to push it forward. It's even just a small attempt for us."

"Even if there is no 'Dusk', we still have other means to ensure that it can erupt smoothly."

"In that case, my friend..."

"I'll try to invite you. The September 'Epidemic' and the October 'Famine', the seeds of disaster we planted, have already taken root and sprouted."

"Lend me the rest of your thorns, my friend."

The "noble" smiled and said:
"I can also bring you the rewards you want."

"..."

……

Sina City, Triumph Square.

[Authentic Dwarf Blacksmith Shop] In front of the dusty wooden door.

Luo Xiu gently knocked on the narrow door.

From the other side of the door, there were heavy footsteps and the impatient and angry howling of the dwarf Mir.

"Who is it...!" Mil's unpleasant voice came from inside.

"Master Mir, I am your most loyal guest."

Luo Xiu smiled and said:

"I'm here to pick up something I ordered from you. By the way, I'd like to buy some other precious materials from you."

"..."

With a "squeak" sound, the door opened.

The dwarf Mir poked his head out from the crack in the door. He took a deep look at the visitor, and when he confirmed that it was indeed his "loyal" and only guest, he opened the door completely.

"……come in."

Mir also said to Luo Xiu:
"I have already made the 'epic' staff you requested."
