Should the Blood Exchange Ritual be suspended?
The Spirit King, seated on his throne in the palace, frowned slightly.
Her gaze swept over the many powerful figures in the hall below.
At the same time, she was also well aware that almost all the powerful figures in the Azure God Hall at this moment had the idea of stopping the Blood Exchange Ritual and maintaining their bloodline connection with Chen Shaojun.
However:
Only a few dozen powerful figures stepped forward and requested her to give the order; the remaining powerful figures were clearly hesitant.
Those who were eager to get his orders were mostly moderates who wanted to use this opportunity to make contact with Chen Shaojun, hoping to secure their future.
Those who hesitated were naturally the radicals. They had a deeper rift with the Chen Clan, harbored concerns, and were unwilling to lower themselves to the level of shame.
Grand Elder.
Thinking this, the Spirit King turned to look at the Spirit Race's Grand Elder beside him and said:
What do you think?
She passed the buck to the leader of the radical faction, the Grand Elder.
this
The elder's face twitched, he pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
I believe the Blood Exchange Ritual should not be stopped.
Upon hearing this statement:
The eyes of all the powerful figures in the hall immediately turned to her.
The Spirit King, seated on his throne, asked calmly:
What is the Grand Elder thinking?
It's very simple.
The Grand Elder of the Spirit Race swept his gaze over the numerous powerful figures and said calmly:
The Blood Exchange Ritual was established decades ago by numerous sacred sites and cannot be changed.
If we abruptly halt the Blood Exchange Ritual and refuse to continue, what will happen if the major holy sites join forces to condemn us? Who will be held responsible? And how will they be held accountable?
Hearing her words:
Many moderates and powerful figures were taken aback, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, forcing them to calm down.
Indeed, their Spirit Clan Royal Court has the ability to stop the Blood Exchange Ritual, but what happens after it's stopped?
And don't forget
The Spirit Race's Grand Elder spoke, then let out a cold laugh:
He had been at the Spirit Clan Royal Court for a period of about ten days.
Whatever your attitude towards him has been over this long period of time, and whatever he has encountered in the Spirit Clan Royal Court, cannot be changed.
Don't you think it's too late to try and please him now?
As she finished speaking:
The many powerful figures present fell silent, their expressions turning somewhat grim.
Many powerful figures even glanced at Ling Shuanglong, who was slumped on the ground, and a hint of disgust flashed in their eyes.
In the Spirit Clan Royal Court:
Ling Shuanglong's little trick could not be hidden from the many powerful figures.
But since it was just a fight between the younger generation, they turned a blind eye and didn't bother with it.
This wouldn't have been a big deal, since she was only targeting Ling Shuangxue and her mixed-race brother.
But now, the meaning is completely different!
If it weren't for her difficult behavior, the Spirit Clan Royal Court would have treated Chen Shaojun with a neutral, business-like attitude, and he wouldn't have developed much ill will towards the royal court.
But she deliberately made things difficult for Chen Shaojun, and it's hard to say whether Chen Shaojun's perception of the Spirit Clan Royal Court will change as a result.
Because of this stupid woman:
Not only did they fail to please Chen Shaojun, they also offended him to some extent!
Finished
Ling Shuanglong, who was lying on the ground, noticed the gazes cast by many powerful figures. Her despair deepened, and she closed her eyes in anguish.
She knew very well:
When those six radiant lights rose and obscured the sky, no one in the Spirit Clan Royal Court could save her.
Even her beloved great-aunt was in dire straits.
The elder's words make a lot of sense.
At this moment, the Spirit King on his throne spoke calmly:
We cannot bear the responsibility of halting the Blood Exchange Ritual, and the method of maintaining blood ties and befriending Chen Shaojun in this way is also not feasible.
As she spoke, she gestured:
Let's continue then. We'll discuss everything else after the Blood Exchange Ritual is complete.
Upon hearing this statement:
The many powerful beings of the Spirit Race immediately fell silent, watching quietly as the ritual array in the light screen operated.
Oh no!
Ling Shuanglong's great-aunt was pale and filled with anxiety.
At this moment:
She could only silently pray that her little trick wouldn't affect the operation of the formation.
But the reality was clearly not as she wished:
Click!
As the array and ritual within the light screen were operating continuously, a crisp sound was suddenly heard, and one of the array flags shattered.
Buzzing
The numerous streaks of light flickered a few times before suddenly extinguishing completely.
The entire ritual formation came to a complete standstill, with the central golden array plate trembling violently and emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
this
The many powerful figures in the royal court were all taken aback and exchanged bewildered glances: Miaomiao said...
The Blood Exchange Ritual failed? How could this happen?
Why did it fail without warning when we had only just taken the First Step and were about to perform a bloodline exchange?
Something's not right!
The third elder of the royal court frowned and said in a deep voice:
The formation has definitely been tampered with!
When this formation and ritual were designed, they were definitely meant to be usable; they would never fail without a reason!
Upon hearing the Third Elder's words:
The expressions of the many powerful figures immediately changed slightly. They exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Finished
Ling Shuanglong's great-aunt's face turned deathly pale, completely devoid of color.
The truth came out, but it was too late for regrets!
His Majesty.
The Third Elder looked up at the Spirit King on the throne and said in a deep voice:
The ritual formation was flawed; this Blood Exchange Ritual has failed.
The only way forward is to suspend the ceremony, conduct a thorough review, identify any errors or omissions, and prepare everything anew before proceeding with the next Blood Exchange Ritual.
Upon hearing this, King Ling hesitated slightly.
The Blood Exchange Ritual suddenly failed, and that Chen Shaojun will probably blame us and harbor resentment.
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang Tingsan spoke up;
That's alright.
All we need to do is find the person who deliberately disrupted the formation, punish them severely, and quickly prepare for the next ceremony.
Chen Shaojun is not a petty person, and should not blame us.
He had barely finished speaking:
Ling Shuanglong's great-aunt finally couldn't bear the pressure any longer, and suddenly stood up and knelt down in the hall with a thud.
This scene drew the attention of many Spirit Race present.
Um?
King Ling raised an eyebrow and said;
Huanyu, what are you doing?
Please forgive me, Sister Wang.
Ling Huanyu lowered her head, her voice filled with bitterness:
It was I who secretly disrupted the ritual formation, causing the Blood Exchange Ritual to fail.
She knew very well:
Under normal circumstances, if the king were to conduct a cursory inspection and merely go through the motions, he would likely conclude that the ritual or array was a mistake or an accident.
But now that Chen Shaojun is involved, they will definitely investigate thoroughly and bring her to justice!
Elder Wang Tingsan's words were the final straw that broke her back!
Things have come to this point:
She was forced to step forward and admit it.
Otherwise, once the royal court finds out about her, she will only face even harsher punishment!
