Chapter 597 Baptism Of Holy Power
"These are all my friends. They came all the way from the border of Long Zhou to serve His Majesty the Emperor. Sir Xu, please do me a favor." Outside the former Guozhu Manor and the current Sacred Manor, Jiang Yue smiled and pointed at Xu Han and the others behind him. Then, he looked at the man dressed in white in front of him.
The man surnamed Xu tilted his eyes and looked at the people behind Jiang Yue. Then, he looked at his nose and heart and said, "I am touched by Lord Saint Son's friend's passionate blood, but Lord Saint Son also knows how many young people are waiting for the baptism of Saint Force. Only fifty people can be baptized in the Saint Palace every day. If Lord Saint Son jumps in the queue, those young people who are waiting won't have to waste another day."
"Haha, Lord Xu's difficulties are clear, clear." Jiang Yue nodded his head repeatedly, then took out a heavy bag of things from his sleeve without revealing any traces and stuffed it into Lord Xu's hand.
The man surnamed Xu narrowed his eyes and weighed the weight of the item. A smile immediately appeared in his narrowed eyes.
"Yes, but since they came from afar, it's not unreasonable for someone like Xu to be here." The man surnamed Xu said indifferently.
How could Jiang Yue not understand what he meant? He hurriedly thanked Xu Han and the others and wanted to lead them towards the Sacred Palace.
"Huh?" However, when they stepped forward, the man surnamed Xu let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction, and his gaze towards Xu Han and the others instantly became gloomy and cold.
Xu Han and the others felt their hearts tremble. They thought that Jiang Yue's reaction was not good. He quickly walked to the man surnamed Xu and asked with a smile, "Sir Xu, do you have any orders?"
The man surnamed Xu extended his hand towards Jiang Yue. He spread out his palm and placed three white pills inside. Then, he said, "How come Lord Saint Son doesn't even remember this basic rule?"
As he said this, the man's eyes were filled with suspicion.
Jiang Yue hurriedly took the three pills and smiled apologetically, "Lord Xu reminded me that I will do as you said."
As he spoke, he turned around and winked at Xu Han and the others before handing over the three pills. Because the requirement for this Saint Weapon to absorb baptism was that he was over ten years old and under twenty years old, only Xu Han, Fang Ziyu, and Liu Sheng came here. The rest of them were waiting for news on the street not far away.
However, Xu Han and the others quickly reacted and took the pill and put it into their mouths.
Seeing this, the man surnamed Xu calmed down his anger. He said in a deep voice, "Bring them in. I guess the effects of the medicine are going to explode soon. Right, there's a big shot coming to see the usurper today. Be careful not to cause trouble."
"Yes, yes." Jiang Yue nodded repeatedly before leading everyone into the Sacred Palace.
..
When the group of people entered the manor, The small courtyard at the entrance of the manor was already filled with young boys and girls who had come to receive the baptism of Saint Force. Most of their appearances were still very young, but their eyes flickered with strange fanaticism. According to the rules, the person in charge began to distribute the pills to these young boys and girls. Although most of them had taken the so-called holy medicine before, they had to take it again just in case anyone entered the holy manor.
Jiang Yue walked over to a woman in white and whispered a few words. The woman in white nodded and immediately sent someone to pick out three girls from the crowd. Xu Han and the others were able to enter the team.
After a few breaths, some people in the crowd began to faint. Following that, more and more people began to fall to the ground. Xu Han and the others followed suit and fell to the ground with their eyes closed.
After that, a group of white-clothed people rushed out and helped the people who had fallen to the ground up. They walked into the depths of the Sacred Palace. Seeing this, Jiang Yue had intended to follow, but the white-clothed woman said, "Lord Saint Son, wait outside for the news."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue's expression changed. He didn't dare to utter the slightest bit of dissatisfaction and left the Sacred Palace with an ugly expression.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Han and the others to really swallow the medicine into their stomachs. They only kept it in their mouths. The appearance of unconsciousness was also played by the three of them for these unknown white-clothed people to see.
Xu Han, who was being helped into the Sacred Palace, secretly sensed the path he had taken. He took a few turns and passed through several courtyards. He firmly remembered the steps he had taken up or down. He thought that it might be useful later.
The Sacred Palace had obviously been modified by someone with a heart. Xu Han could clearly feel that they had already been helped into a hidden door below. Dark Asura Palace had always liked such tricks, and this point did not seem to have changed.
After about fifteen minutes, the person supporting them suddenly stopped and casually placed their bodies on the ground. It seemed that they had arrived at the destination of this trip.
"Sir, this is the saint weapon that will be baptized today." At this moment, the voice of the white-clothed woman could be heard.
"Saint Weapon?" "It's just a puppet that can be enslaved by anyone," said a voice that sounded as if a withered branch had been torn apart by someone. "It's nothing more than a puppet that can be enslaved by anyone."
"Your Excellency is right." The woman who was acting so arrogantly in front of Jiang Yue was extremely afraid of the owner of the Yin Sensing Voice, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, step back. Leave this place to me." The voice said impatiently, as if it was a waste of time for him to say more than half a word to that woman.
"Yes." However, the woman did not dare to express any dissatisfaction. After answering, she quickly led everyone out of the room.
As a result, only the owner of the gloomy voice and Xu Han, who could not stand up, remained in Nuo Da's room.
Da.
Da.
The owner's footsteps echoed in the empty room, and he paced back and forth as if examining the appearance of the children on the ground. Then he suddenly stopped and stared at Liu Sheng.
"Huh?" He let out a puzzled whisper, as if he had discovered something unbelievable. Xu Han could clearly feel that his breathing at the tip of his nose was getting thicker at that time. Then he walked to Liu Sheng and reached out to hold her arm.
"Attack!" Xu Han, who was already prepared, let out a loud shout. His body suddenly stood up, and Liu Sheng and Fang Ziyu also stood up at that time.
The three of them didn't hesitate at all. The moment they attacked, they were filled with lightning. Adding on the fact that they had no intention of calculating, the expression of the owner of the Yin Sensing Sound changed. Before he could even make a single bit of defense, the surging sword intent suddenly reached his body.
However, he was still quite alert. Seeing that he was powerless to resist this killing move, he rolled on the spot and was able to avoid the incoming sword intent.
However, although this sword move had fallen, Liu Sheng's body instantly arrived in front of him at an astonishingly fast speed. Liu Sheng held his claws in one hand and did not give him the slightest chance to react. He directly grabbed his neck and lifted his body high up.
"Master, spare me! Master, spare me! I don't know anything, I don't know anything!" After realizing the current situation, the man began to beg for mercy from Xu Han and the others with astonishing speed.
Xu Han hadn't expected such a backbone posture.
After he made a silent gesture towards that person, he ignored the other party for the time being and instead took a step to observe the place where the Saint Weapon was made.
The surroundings of the dim hall were already made of some kind of indescribable silver metal. On the ground were the young boys and girls who had come to wait for baptism. In the middle of the hall was a huge curtain cloth. It seemed that the most important secret in the Sacred Palace was hidden behind it.
Xu Han walked in front of the curtain cloth and reached out to lift it.
"No!" The person who begged for mercy shouted loudly with a panicked expression on his face.
"Huh?!" Liu Sheng frowned, and the strength in his hand that grabbed the man's neck increased a little.
That person was also tactful. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Master, there is a great horror hidden inside. It can't be!"
"Oh?" Xu Han raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he looked at that person seriously. He was a skinny old man whose face was covered in wrinkles like an old tree. He stopped his movements and asked with interest, "Then tell me, what is behind this?"
Under Xu Han's burning sword-like gaze, the skinny old man's expression hesitated. His gaze flickered as he muttered, "Anyway, I can't see it."
"Bah! I don't think you want to live anymore!" The nearby Fang Ziyu was not as good-tempered as Xu Han. Her eyes narrowed as a sword appeared in her hand and landed on the old man's neck.
The skinny old man sensed the sharp edges of the sword and his body stopped. He began to tremble. Obviously, he was extremely scared. "Auntie, calm down. It's also for your own good. If you open this curtain.."
Pu!
Just as he was speaking, Xu Han suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled open the curtain. The old man's eyes instantly enlarged, and his face was as pale as ashes.
Behind the curtain was a huge cage, The cage was surrounded by dense chains, At the center of the iron chain, a giant humanoid creature's aura was drowning in slumber. His body was covered in silver cones with runes. The purple blood slowly flowed out from the silver cones and fell to the ground. The purple blood continued to gather along the blood trough that had been carved into the earth's mantle. Finally, it formed a line of blood and flowed into a huge copper cauldron-like container outside the iron cage.
Next to the container were three iron beds made of cold iron. On the iron beds lay a naked young man or young girl. Two silver threads extended from the copper cauldron and pierced into their arteries. Purple blood poured into her body from the copper cauldron along the silver threads.
Their expressions were sometimes ferocious and sometimes intoxicated, as if they were immersed in a dream of pain and happiness.
Xu Han suddenly came to his senses. This was the so-called baptism of holy power in the Sacred Palace. It was the exchange of blood for these children with the blood of some creature that Xu Han did not know about!
