Demon Hall's five-star demon controller Meng Xing, the sacrificial ritual forcibly disrupted

The Cangyang Empire's third sacrificial ritual had now officially begun.

Overseeing this ritual was Imperial Preceptor Meng Xing, who was also the Divine Lotus Order's third-ranking priest and deeply trusted by Emperor Kang Mingcheng.

Imperial Preceptor Meng advocated sacrificing virgins' blood to the Demon God to strengthen the nation and strike at foreign enemies.

Twelve young women dressed in white were bound atop the platform. Arranged in a circle, they stared in terror at the enormous pit before them.

Inside this pit was the Emperor Realm Great Demon Meng Xing raised. Besides being a priest of the Divine Lotus Order, he was also a five-star demon controller of the mysterious Demon Hall.

Within the Demon Hall, five stars corresponded to a King. Although this was not a particularly high rank, it was not low, either.

The Demon Hall had no distinction between outer and inner disciples, only ranks ranging from one star to nine stars.

Anyone below six stars was merely a disciple. Only upon becoming a six-star demon controller would one be appointed a deacon.

At seven stars, one wielded far greater authority, ranking directly beneath the hall master.

However, becoming a seven-star deacon was no easy feat. Seven stars corresponded to Supreme Realm strength, and one also had to be capable of controlling at least a Half-Saint-level demon.

The strength of the Demon Hall's demon controllers lay in their demon fighters, which were a full major realm above them.

Meng Xing wore red-and-white Daoist robes, white bone powder smeared across his face, and a tall, pointed hat on his head. Holding a thin wooden stick decorated with white talisman paper, he muttered incantations and occasionally hopped a couple of steps, looking just like a soul-reaping White Impermanence.
