Chapter 130 Skip
He had heard many theories before. Some said that the grand sacrifice was to produce the "Black Banner", and some said that it was for the new leader, but he was not clear about the specific situation. As one of the main storylines, it was necessary to consider it seriously and not go astray again.

At the same time, he was also thinking, what should be the method to pass the customs according to the normal process?
During this period of time, he had met the Western Captain and several old soul masters. The lowest level of their cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building, while some were at the peak of perfect foundation building.

But based on the main line speculation, the difficulty level of this task should be around the initial stage of foundation building, otherwise the difficulty increase will be too abrupt compared to the previous stage tasks.

"It's about position."

Lord Black Sparrow said, "We will use the blood flags of all of us as sacrifices, and the living as guides to sacrifice the black flag, which is the weapon of the leader.

The chief priest is the most important, and those of us who raise the flags are second. We offer sacrifices to establish a sect, which is the foundation of a religion.

Finally, all the wealth of everyone will be used as a sacrifice to produce a golden elixir master, which will be the glory of the sect."

"I don't understand. Please be brief." Chen Lang said.

Lord Black Sparrow nodded, and was willing to teach this newcomer who had the same background as him:
"Let me ask you, how do you become an elder in the Tianjian Sect?"

"Breakthrough to the Jindan stage?" Chen Lang replied.

"How to break through the golden elixir?"

"Retreat and practice?" Chen Lang paused for a moment. He couldn't just say he was doing a mission.

"What do you rely on to practice?"

"Spiritual stones, precious medicine."

"Where does the precious medicine come from?"

"Do the task."

Lord Black Sparrow smiled, and the others also smiled faintly. The Western Captain shook his head after hearing this, "It seems that Brother Chen Lang is still too young."

"You have completed so many tasks in the Tianjian Sect. Don't you know whether there is a future for you?" asked Lord Black Sparrow.

Chen Lang thought so too. He mainly relied on the main storyline progress, and the mission rewards themselves were secondary. "Then what do you say?"

"Depends on the location."

Lord Black Sparrow said, "As an elder, you will naturally have resources and salary, as well as many additional benefits. It is only a matter of time before you advance to the Golden Core stage."

"But isn't this a vicious circle?" Chen Lang asked.

“That’s a good description.”

It was the first time that Lord Black Sparrow heard such a word. He thought that although the boy's description was strange, it was also very vivid, so he said:

"It's a vicious circle. Otherwise, with so many geniuses in the Heavenly Sword Sect, if we don't kill them all, wouldn't anyone be able to become an elder?"

Chen Lang pondered and thought, you know what, it is true.

No wonder until now, he has never seen any precious medicine, never heard of how to break through the realm, and those disciples are always doing tasks.

"But my Pingtian religion is different."

Lord Black Sparrow said, "Here, regardless of status or origin, as long as you have talent, you can be given status. With status, you will have the necessary resources to break through to the realm you should be at.

Your talent will not be buried here, and your passion will not be wasted.

That’s what ‘offering position’ means.”

Chen Lang understood, "Thank you for your advice."

At this moment, several soul masters were unexpectedly serious and everyone was very quiet. Servants brought wine and filled the glasses.

"Come, let's wish the Lotus Sect to soar to the sky." The Western helmsman raised his glass.

"I wish you all a bright future." The man with the eagle-faced mask raised his glass.

"I wish the Tianjian Sect will be destroyed soon and a new leader will be established soon, maybe between you and me." Lord Black Sparrow raised his glass.

"I wish the end of the Dharma will fade away and we will return to the ancient times." Chen Lang thought about it and raised his glass as well.

……

At least, Chen Lang can now confirm that his plan is feasible.

The Lotus Sect is located near the Sky Sword Sect and poses a great threat to nearby families, all of which are part of the Sky Sword Sect.

According to the rules of the Pingtian Sect's grand sacrifice, the chief priest must be the strongest, surpassing all the monks present. If he can be killed, it will be a great achievement and in line with the system's judgment.

What could be more meritorious than killing the leader of an evil sect?
Could it be possible to kill the empress? I am afraid that the Tianjian Sect does not have this ability, and those who have the ability will not participate in this trial.

They raised their glasses and drank, and then more people came one after another. There were quite a few of them, about a dozen or so.

After a while, a mist came and submerged the treetops and weeds. The mist slowly dispersed, but the trees disappeared, forming an empty road. From afar, a bloody banner appeared, and several figures approached silently.

"Clean up, the chief priest is here." Lord Black Sparrow said in a low voice, and then they removed the chessboard and drinks.

Looking at the cloud road again, a tall man walked towards them, with a face as soft as jade and black hair draped over his shoulders.

Two rows of people followed behind him, holding flags, with blood flags on both sides.

"Is this the main priest?" Chen Lang asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

The Western helmsman whispered, "The chief priest appointed by the Queen, you must be careful with your words later. If you choose to join the Lotus Sect in the future, he will be your leader."

That's enough, no need to say so much.

As we talked, the clouds and mist behind us dissipated and the trees remained as they were.

The officiating priest tiptoed slowly to the ground.

Several people in the back carried blood-red flags and guarded on both sides.

The Western Captain, Lord Black Sparrow, and Eagle sat down separately, ready to listen to the speech of the High Priest.

After Chen Lang sat down, he put his hands under the stone table.

What speech are you listening to?

System, start.

[The foundation-building dematerializer has been taken out. 】

[Marking objects]

[The target has been successfully marked, do you want to kill it? ]

Chen Lang chose yes.

In an instant, he crushed the jade bead in his hand. The soul masters were too sensitive to the signs of life and death, and he could not delay even a little.

The next moment, in silence, while the Western Captain, Lord Black Sparrow, the Eagle-faced Masked Man, and a dozen other people were waiting for the officiant to speak—

The officiant is gone.

With a hiss, he disappeared into a wisp of smoke without saying a word.

After a long time, it didn't reappear.

This sudden change left everyone stunned.

"Where are the people?" asked the Western helmsman.

Lord Black Sparrow waited calmly, but he spread out his divine sense and searched the surroundings.

The eagle-faced masked man said, "What do you mean? You left without saying a word? I still have a gift from the Southern Cult Master."

At this time, more and more people realized that something was wrong. The high priest disappeared suddenly, and he and his soul fluctuations disappeared together.

The cultivation levels of those present were similar. Even a true Jindan master could not be so elusive, let alone the chief priest who had not yet advanced to the Jindan realm.

At this time, the guard who followed the chief priest and held the blood flag suddenly turned pale after trying to contact him:

"The soul mark in the banner collapsed!"

"what?"

Lord Black Sparrow sat up in shock. What does it mean that the soul mark has collapsed?
There are two layers of marks in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, one is for the Goddess, and the other is for its owner. These banners were allocated by the Goddess to the Lotus Sect for use in grand sacrifices.

The mark that collapsed is definitely not the goddess's mark, it must be the mark of the main priest.

In other words, the presiding priest is dead?

In an instant, Lord Black Sparrow's expression changed drastically, and some people who were quick to react also tensed up and stood up in an uproar.

"No, enemy attack!"

"Get out!"
