This time, the Sea God’s Blessing was destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime.
In her previous life, the Sea God’s Blessing had been taken early by the now-dead City Lord Liu and given to his daughter. Xue Fuyao had not attended the South Sea Grand Feast back then, so she did not know exactly what had happened. What was certain, however, was that City Lord Liu must have done something to pull the wool over everyone's eyes, which was why it had not been discovered immediately.
This time, City Lord Liu had long since been killed, and even the daughter who had received the Sea God’s Blessing had died at his own hands. Naturally, there was no one to cover things up, so it was only to be expected that the anomaly would be discovered.
When the Sea God Statue remained unresponsive, the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Qin Household and the Shen Family were the first to grow restless. After all, something so momentous had just happened. If the South Sea Grand Feast ran into trouble as well, the whole of South Sea City might truly descend into chaos.
Yet the more they feared something, the more likely it was to happen.
After waiting for a while, the onlookers gradually grew impatient. After all, the next steps of the South Sea Grand Feast required someone who had received the Sea God’s Blessing to complete them.
Now that the Sea God still refused to bestow his blessing, could he truly have abandoned them?
This thought surfaced in everyone's minds. The elderly residents of South Sea City, in particular, looked at the Sea God Statue with pleading eyes, as though begging the deity for mercy. Some even dropped straight to their knees.
Gradually, some among them noticed something wrong.
