The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 966 - 451: Blood Sacrifice (Part 2)

He suddenly asked.

It seemed like a question, yet it was unusually calm.

The Moon Princess gazed at his profile, roughly understanding that he already had an answer in his heart.

"If it weren’t for the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident, how could the power of the Order World be mobilized to hunt down Gu Ci’an?"

Heiqi Yidao sneered and said, "They really are used to this trick."

At this point, the ins and outs of the matter finally became clear. The so-called Blood Moon Slaughter Incident was a mere smokescreen, a baseless slander used to mobilize the power of the Order World and eliminate internal disloyalties.

Perhaps Gu Ci’an’s secrets had long been discovered, which is why the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident occurred.

This was a shameless attempt to frame and pin the blame.

Gu Jianlin had many speculations about the truth of the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident but never imagined this one.

"I once met him in the Qilin Immortal Palace. Back then, he was inexplicably betrayed by a team. At least five Holy Land Level members of the team of more than ten people launched a siege against him, but unfortunately, he escaped. The Blood Moon Slaughter Incident was thus instigated to force him into a corner."

Heiqi Yidao turned around and, looking at the young man and woman in front of him, spread his hands and said, "I know Gu Ci’an is crucial to you. The Order World has obviously been unfair to him, and I’m not sure if the President knows about it. But if you really want to say she doesn’t know, I don’t believe it."

"Of course, I’m not trying to sow discord either."

He hurriedly explained, "If the President really knows, then she either has unspeakable reasons or there’s deeper meaning behind it. The waters of the Bai Ze Clan are deep, and it’s impossible for outsiders to tell you these things."

The Moon Princess stared into his eyes, speaking slowly and clearly, "Your identity."

Gu Jianlin pondered his words carefully, his eyes suddenly becoming a bit dazed.

Heiqi Yidao smiled slightly, lightly tapping his forehead.

His appearance changed like a reflection in water, instantly turning into an elderly-looking youth.

His youthful and handsome features, eyes deep as the night, a high nose bridge, and slightly upturned lips.

The Red King, Jiang Yanli. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"It really is you."

Gu Jianlin gazed into his eyes and softly said.

The Moon Princess never expected that this youth before her was her never-before-seen uncle, one of human history’s most terrifying legends, and once a peerless madman who intended to destroy the world.

Her heart raced wildly, and she nearly drew her sword in violent tremors.

While some people may lose combat capability under extreme fear,

she was different. In stress, her only instinct was to attack.

Gu Jianlin raised his hand to press down her hand that was about to draw a sword, shaking his head in indication.

"A grown woman really can’t be kept around. You don’t even call me dear uncle. I really doted on you in vain."

Jiang Yanli lamented, "Your mother said you’re a love-struck fool, which isn’t false at all. You’re meant to inherit my throne in the future, but your mind is filled only with men. It’s good you have an eye for men because when I first found out you had a beloved, I was furious, thinking, who is this toad trying to eat my family’s swan meat? Then, I discovered the one you fancied was Gu Ci’an’s son, which delighted me."

The Moon Princess was dumbfounded by him because the legendary Red King seemed more and more like a comedic character.

Compared to the legendary devilish man, the gap was truly vast.

Gu Jianlin squinted his eyes, just as the man before him spoke again.

"My dear little Qilin, don’t look at me like that. I know you can’t get over what happened in the Divine Ruins, but at most, I’m an accomplice, right? In this world, who has the right to influence Skylark’s decisions? Clearly, no one."

Jiang Yanli spread his hands, looking innocent, and said, "It was all that wicked woman’s decision. She was never someone with feelings. When you’re no longer useful, discarding you is normal. Including me, after my collaboration with her ended, she ruthlessly abandoned me too."

Gu Jianlin suddenly heard a whisper by his ear, certain that only he could hear it.

"You can’t blame anyone else for the breakup, right?"

Upon hearing such a teasing voice, his eyes roared with turmoil, even flickering with fierce gold.

Bam!

The glass curtain wall cracked like a spider web, and Jiang Yanli, with both hands raised, was pinned against the wall.

Gu Jianlin’s left hand clamped on his throat, with his fierce eyes as if the phantoms of Qilin and Candle Dragon were entrenched!

For a moment, Jiang Yanli even felt he saw an enrage Ancient Supreme.

The overwhelming killing intent almost made his heart skip a beat.

The Moon Princess silently stared at the boy’s back; she had never seen him this furious in over a decade.

"Splendid, this is the attitude I want."

Jiang Yanli wasn’t angry in the slightest. Instead, he gently clapped his hands, exclaiming, "You see, this world is so unfair to you. Why not ignite it with your rage? Admittedly, we weren’t initially on the same side, but no matter what, I’m still your master’s uncle; that’s an undeniable fact."

Gu Jianlin took a deep breath, akin to a primordial beast grinding its teeth and sucking blood, quietly releasing his right hand.

However, Jiang Yanli did not straighten his collar but instead patted his shoulder forcefully, enticing like a devil, "What my brother can offer, I can, too. Moreover, you’re destined to marry my niece in the future, which makes us even closer relatives. Compared to my brother, I believe we’re more fated."

The Moon Princess coldly said, "Don’t use me to manipulate him; whatever decision he makes is his own affair."

The petite and graceful young lady defiantly lifted her head; her beautiful eyes were filled with intimidating pride.

"Alright, alright, my dear little niece."

Jiang Yanli spread his hands, "Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do?"

This man picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp, hurling the cup to the ground as if smashing a cup to signal, "Shall we proceed to revenge, or revenge, or revenge?"

He bent down to pick up a sharp fragment, fiercely cutting his own palm.

Splash!

His blood-stained palm left a striking bloodstain on the nearly shattered glass.

"Blood Sacrifice."

Jiang Yanli turned around with a smile and said, "Why not complete your advancement to the Sixth Rank right here? Let me, the strongest Ghost Slayer Path in history, guide you on how to slaughter!"

Ancient God’s Breath erupted violently.

His white hair moved without wind, dyed crimson like blood, his deep eyes transformed into blood-red vertical pupils, and his smiling mouth seemed to reflect the cold gleam of dragon teeth, so wantonly unrestrained.

Blood-red dragon horns sprouted from Jiang Yanli’s head, and eerie mandala patterns bloomed on his cheeks.

But that’s not all.

The vast shadow enveloped the city beneath the night, the bustling traffic hushed silently.

Even the pedestrians on the street subconsciously looked up at the towering phantom entrenched within the dark clouds.

"Unsealing."

Jiang Yanli clasped his hands, softly saying, "Primordial Return."

Thunder rumbled faintly, and blood-red eyes lit up in the deepest darkness, stern and terrifying.

"——Candle Yin."

The solemn and imposing mass music echoed in the silent Deep Space Technology Building as the Deep Space Network was thoroughly breached. Whether it was mainframe computers or mobile communication devices, or even the large display screens on the commercial streets, all the way to the Central Spirit Coffin Institute, a gigantic projection emerged, casting the eerie and handsome visage all around.

The Ascenders of the Order World lowered their heads to look at their phones or sat dazed in front of their computers.

Fear silently took root inside them.

Overlooking the entire world through the network, Jiang Yanli opened his arms, savoring in intoxication.

"Order, has declared war!"

He paused, "This is the first act, the Blood Sacrifice!"

Deep Space Technology Building, Basement Level One.

Mu Qingyou led the white-robed monsters standing silently at the cold storage door.

Because the three coffins were already empty.
