This actor is full of tricks.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and offer your sacrifice. Do you want to displease Father?"

When the old woman with white hair saw the ghost standing still, her tone became more forceful.

The ghost's body trembled even more violently as it slowly moved toward the shrine, each step extremely difficult.

When they arrived at the shrine, the ghost imitated the first ghost's behavior, respectfully bowing with its hands touching its nose and presenting the nose from its palms to the shrine.

But this time, the shrine door did not open again. The monster instantly collapsed to the ground, screaming in terror, "No!!!"

"Unfortunately, Father doesn't like this offering of yours." The white-haired old woman shook her head, her tone full of regret.

As she finished speaking, the monster's body instantly twisted and deformed, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. A sickening creaking sound of bones being crushed echoed from within its body. In less than three seconds, the monster exploded into a shower of minced meat amidst screams of agony.
As the pieces of flesh fell, the flesh and blood that formed the floor quickly began to wriggle and absorb them, resulting in a noticeable increase in the amount of flesh and blood on the floor.

Is this room of flesh and blood made up of bizarre corpses?

Lin Jue raised an eyebrow slightly. He had roughly figured out the rules of the ritual. These strange creatures would offer noses obtained from living people to the shrine. If the nose satisfied the things in the shrine, they would live; otherwise, they would die and become part of the flesh and blood room.

As for the standard of satisfaction, Lin Jue guessed that it would most likely depend on the emotions of the deceased at the time of death. The girl whose parents were killed and driven insane must have felt an emotion of grief that was many times stronger than that of the bachelor.

Clearly, the thing following the driver also came from here. That thing also wanted to create a sacrifice that would satisfy the benevolent father, so instead of tearing off the driver's nose itself, it slowly caused the driver to have mental problems and tried every means to make the driver feel grief.

Only such offerings can save these monsters from surviving.

The death of that ghost suddenly made the atmosphere tense. At the old woman's urgent urging, one ghost after another stepped forward to offer their sacrifices.

A satisfying life, an unsatisfactory death, turning into nourishment for the flesh and blood in the room.

After the last ghost offered its sacrifice, all the ghosts in the room turned their gazes toward Lin Jue. The white-haired old woman also cast her gaze toward him, her eyes filled with a mixture of schadenfreude and anticipation: "Now it's time for our new friend to offer his sacrifice."

All the ghosts had expectant and greedy expressions, as if they were staring at a delicious dish, feeling that Lin Jue was the sacrifice, offered to all the ghosts here.

“My friend, what offering do you wish to make? I hope it will please your father.” The white-haired old woman grinned, revealing a mouthful of large, yellow teeth.

“Of course.” Lin Jue stood up, his expression calm. “My offerings will definitely satisfy him.”

The calm tone made the old woman with white hair frown, and a very uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

She stared at Lin Jue's empty hands: "Then let me see what your offering is."

"My offering..." Lin Jue smiled slightly, opened his palm, and a bright and scorching flame rose up, illuminating the entire room.

"My offerings are you all, of course!"

The flames erupted in an instant, instantly engulfing the entire room. The ghosts didn't even have time to react before they were completely consumed by the flames, struggling desperately in the fire before quickly turning to ashes.

Lin Jue originally intended to burn down the entire flesh and blood room, but to his surprise, the flesh and blood were completely unaffected by the flames, showing no signs of being charred at all.

"This flesh and blood comes from the supernatural, so why can't it burn? Does it have some other strange ability?"

Apart from the flesh and blood in the room, the coffin and shrine remained completely still, showing no change even as they were burned by the raging fire.

Lin Jue waved his hand to extinguish the flames and walked to the shrine.

The shrine looked like an ordinary small shrine. If you hadn't seen a black hand reaching out from inside earlier, you wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. "That black hand definitely wasn't the Father. The Father didn't descend. Something is hiding inside, collecting offerings for the Father."

"Then what is the purpose of this coffin?"

Lin Jue bent down, brought his face close to the shrine, knocked on the small door, and politely asked, "Is anyone inside?"

Without a doubt, no one will answer him.

Lin Jue simply reached out and tried to push the door open.

To his surprise, the small door, which was not much bigger than his palm, did not budge. Lin Jue was stunned and added some force, but the small door still showed no sign of opening.

"I still don't believe it!"

Lin Jue used all his strength directly, the veins on his arms bulging, and his whole body's power exploded.

The small door remained completely still, not even a crack opened.

You should know that Lin Jue's strength now exceeds four thousand jin, and he can easily push open even the thickest iron door. But this small door in front of him is as unshakable as a mountain.

"He Wen, Bi Zheng, Xiao Ming!"

Lin Jue immediately summoned all the ghosts from his raincoat and asked them to try pushing the door.

Even Bi Zheng and He Wen, both at the fourth level, couldn't push the door open.

“This is a treacherous artifact; there may be a specific way to open it,” Bi Zheng said in a deep voice.

Seeing that he couldn't open the door, Lin Jue didn't show any disappointment: "It's okay, since we can't open it, we'll just destroy it."

The shrine is related to the Father, and the loss of the shrine might affect the Father's power, so this shrine must be destroyed.

Since the flames were ineffective, Lin Jue simply ordered Bi Zheng to use force to destroy the shrine.

Before Bi Zheng made his move, he specifically instructed him, "Use your full strength!"

Wow!
Countless chains flew up and then crashed down on the shrine. Bi Zheng's attack had unleashed all its power, enough to shatter even the hard ground.

However, the shrine showed no signs of damage, not even a single speck of wood had fallen off.

"This thing is so hard?" Lin Jue frowned. The sturdiness of this shrine was beyond his imagination. Not only could it withstand his flames, but Bi Zheng's chains could not even damage it.

"Use Ghost!"

In any case, Lin Jue must destroy this shrine today.

Upon hearing this, Bi Zheng immediately activated the Ghost Realm. The surrounding flesh and blood were smashed by the chains with loud bangs, but even with the power of the Ghost Realm activated, the shrine remained completely still.

Lin Jue decided to unite all the demons and use all their power, but even this power, which was enough to seriously injure or even kill a fourth-level expert, still could not shake the shrine.
