God Emperor of Sword Domain

Chapter 706 Ceremony
In the evening, the wind picked up and it was a little cooler.

The wind blows the fallen leaves and rolls across the cold streets.

It seemed that people in the whole street felt the killing atmosphere in the air, so it was not night yet, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the occasional pedestrians who passed by were also in a hurry.

Bibo City is half a city of water, the water vapor is heavy, and the nights are relatively cold. Before winter comes, many people have to light fires to keep warm.

The wind blew into the restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant, Hu Haiqiao, hurried to close the door.

When closing the door, I saw a passerby passing by, and kindly reminded: "Niu Da, hurry back! Hide at home tonight, don't come out."

"Hey!" The man responded and quickened his pace.

Hu Haiqiao closed the door, brought the charcoal basin to Ye Xuan's feet, and said apologetically, "My lord, I'm really sorry. I usually use charcoal here, so I can only wrong you."

"It's ok."

Ye Xuan didn't care about this. For warriors, it doesn't matter if they don't need to warm up, but the owner of the restaurant is also kind, so he doesn't refuse.

Hu Haiqiao set up the charcoal basin, skewered three slices of bacon with a bamboo stick, inserted the other end of the bamboo stick into the charcoal ash, and hung it next to the charcoal fire to roast slowly.

Ye Xuan took out the swordsmanship secret book in the storage ring of Wanzang, and slowly flipped through it.

There are high and low grades of these sword techniques, but each sword technique has its own uniqueness.

Ye Xuan took it out and looked it up, not necessarily to practice, but to understand some of the flaws and uniqueness of these sword techniques.

Since the enlightenment of the aura of swordsmanship, the realm of swordsmanship has reached a certain peak. For these swordsmanship, you only need to read them once to get a general idea of ​​the artistic conception of the moves contained in the swordsmanship.

Night fell gradually.

The night owl dark guard came back every quarter of an hour to report the situation outside.

Ye Xuan was roasting by the fire, reading a book, and listening to Ye Xiao's secret guard's report, with a sense of strategizing.

"Young Master, the Heavenly Demon began to dance to the gods in the underground gathering place, but no high-ranking Heavenly Demon priests were present, and they used the Soul Requiem Chant released by the Echo Conch." Ye Xiao's dark guard reported.

Ye Xuan has seen the celestial demon clan's ritual dance. To put it simply, a high-level celestial demon priest crooned the ancient celestial demon soul-rescue chant, and a large group of celestial demons danced in circles around the priest.

If it is a tribe of celestial demons who have retained the customs of the ancient times, after the dance of offering sacrifices to the gods, a group of celestial demons will do indescribable things.

A number of females with the noblest bloodlines of the Heavenly Demon will perform a ceremony with several strongest Heavenly Demon fighters to give birth to powerful bloodlines in this way.

To some extent, this most direct bloodline union may indeed create more powerful bloodline offspring.

However, there were no earth-shattering powerhouses in the Sky Monster Clan in recent times. This may indicate that relying solely on bloodlines cannot make a group prosper forever.

After dinner.

Hu Haiqiao brought in two children from the backyard, a boy and a girl, seven or eight years old.

The girl is an elder sister, she has pretty features and is very well-behaved.The younger brother is also very delicate and seems to be more shy than the older sister.

"You two just sit here and enjoy the fire, don't disturb the young master." Hu Haiqiao arranged the two children to sit by the brazier, and gave a serious warning.

"Understood, father." The two children were obedient and nodded in agreement.

But after sitting down, they stared at the stewed meat on the low table and drooled.

Because of the oppression of the sky demon, the restaurant was unable to open for business most of the time, and it could be seen that the family had lived a very poor life these years.

Ye Xuan naturally noticed the look in the eyes of the two children. He smiled and pushed the stewed meat over, saying, "Eat it. But you can't use your hands, use chopsticks."

The two children glanced at each other and immediately rushed to the table to grab the chopsticks.

Hu Haiqiao caught up, knocked off the hands of the two children, and cursed: "There are no rules, this is the young master's appetizer. I will give you a piece of bacon roasted on the brazier later."

"Let them eat. I'm not short of meat." Ye Xuan said.

Hu Haiqiao then ignored the two children and asked them to share the stewed meat on the plate equally.

After a while, Hu Haiqiao asked: "My lord, let these two children stay here and not disturb you?"

"fine."

Ye Xuan knew why Hu Haiqiao placed the two children here, because he knew that something big would happen tonight, and the place where he was was the safest place.

After nightfall, the oil lamps in the house were a little dim.

Ye Xuan took out a pearl and hung it on the lamp stand on the roof for lighting.

This night, the northern city of Bibo City was extremely quiet, like the calm before the storm, as if something was about to explode, making people so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

It has been a quarter of an hour since Ye Xiao's dark guard came to report last time.

The figure in the room flashed, and Ye Xiao's dark guard came to report on time: "Young master, the sky demon in the underground gathering place started the bloodline ceremony, and Jin Gudu and other leaders of the sky demon personally participated in it. The bloodline ceremony is expected to end in half an hour. Then there will be night raids."

After hearing the report, Ye Xuan turned over the charcoal fire with a stick, and said, "Is Jin Gudu also considered a powerful sky demon warrior?"

According to the bloodline ceremony of the Sky Demon Clan, the most powerful Sky Demon fighters are selected to perform the ceremony in order to give birth to a powerful bloodline.

However, Jin Gudu is obviously not a powerful fighter, but is better at instigating the sky demon to make trouble.

"Are Xu Changlin and the others ready for the battle?" Ye Xuan asked instead.

"Already preparing for the battle, if something happens tonight. Xu Changlin and the other two lieutenants will lead the cavalry in three ways to wipe out the sky demon." Ye Xiao's dark guard replied.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Xuan waved his hand to make Ye Xiao's dark guard retreat.

When Ye Xiao's dark guard reported the situation, the two children of the Hu family kept staring at the swordsmanship secret book on the table.

Ye Xuan pushed the two secret books in front of them, and asked with a smile: "Here are two secret books on swordsmanship, one is holy-level swordsmanship, and the other is ordinary-level basic swordsmanship. If given to you, which one would you choose? Book?"

The two children thought for a while, and pointed to the holy swordsmanship book at the same time.

When Hu Haiqiao saw them, he came up and slapped them on the backs of their hands respectively, and taught him a lesson: "I haven't practiced martial arts before, and I can't practice with holy swordsmanship. This is called Gao Yuanyuan!"

Ye Xuan then asked: "Why did you choose this book?"

The younger brother said first: "Keep it, and practice it after I have finished my martial arts."

Ye Xuan looked at the little girl again, and asked, "What about you?"

"Sell it and exchange it for more martial arts secrets that we can practice." The little girl gave a different answer.

Hu Haiqiao didn't know what to say when he heard his daughter's answer.

This answer sounds very good, but in fact it is difficult to do, because ordinary people sell a holy swordsmanship secret book, which is no different from courting death.

After listening to the answer, Ye Xuan didn't comment, but just smiled.

The little girl asked curiously: "My lord, which one would you choose?"

Ye Xuan pondered for a while before saying: "I should be able to... both."
