Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: 244 Golden Court System (2/2)
But now, the names of the Star of Destiny and Star of Doom had completely disappeared, which meant that the Golden Court had permanently lost the power of these two godly positions.
“What the hell happened?”
The figure in the purple light was extremely angered, this was an incident that could shake the foundation of the Golden Court.
Her power came directly from the Golden Court. She couldn’t tolerate anything that could prove harmful to it.
With a wave of her hand, a mirror of light appeared in front of her. She sent a message through it saying, “Qing Yue, Zi Yang, hurry back!”
Gu Yang and Xi Huang flew for two whole days and nights before they finally stopped. They had run so far, those two celestial generals should not be able to catch them now.
Such frantic travelling had greatly exhausted them. He was already somewhat fatigued, let alone Xi Huang, who hadn’t fully recovered her strength.
“Let’s find somewhere to rest and learn about the situation in this world,” he suggested.
With two previous experiences travelling through pocket worlds, he considered himself a veteran in this regard.
Xi Huang and the Blue Bird naturally had no objections.
Gu Yang sensed an unusual power and wondered, “What’s that?”
The Blue Bird explained, “It’s a wild earth deity.”
“There are wild earth deities?” he asked in surprise.
“Of course, this pocket world has been influenced by the Golden Court, causing some changes to the world’s rules.”
Suddenly, Xi Huang questioned, “What are those people doing?”
“Why don’t we go take a look and find out,” Gu Yang proposed.
In Liu village, a group of people noisily carried a bridal litter toward a mountain.
However, despite sending off a bride, there was not an ounce of joy on their faces. Their expressions and eyes were filled with nothing but numbness.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a raggedy-dressed youth rushed from behind them in a frenzy of urgency and anger, “Put down my sister…”
Just as the youth was about to rush into the group, he was grabbed by several burly men.
“Let me go…”
Despite the young man’s desperate struggles, he couldn’t break free from the men’s firm grip. He was pinned to the ground, his hands bound behind his back.
All he could do was watch as the wedding sedan-chair gradually moved out of sight. Consumed by fervent rage and deep sorrow, tears blurred his vision.
“Behave yourself.”
“Your sister marrying the mountain god is a blessing for her.”
“Don’t you care about your own life? What if you upset the mountain god, can you bear the consequences?”
The burly men scolded the young boy.
At that moment, an elderly man with white hair approached and coldly said to the youth, “Stone, this is fate. Your sister drew that chosen stick. Last year it was Old Eight’s daughter, this year…it’s your sister…”
“No, the one who drew that cursed stick was your granddaughter…why did you bypass me and send off my sister to die…” the youth shouted hysterically.
The old man’s eyes grew colder, “Drag him away. Don’t let him disturb the mountain god.”
The burly men then bound the boy, and dragged him away.
Everything returned to silence once more.
The wedding procession quickly reached the top of the mountain.
Upon reaching the entrance of a cave, a few strong men put down the bridal litter.
A table was set up, and butchery fresh livestock were laid out on it.
The old man knelt down, knocked his head on the ground a few times, and loudly said, “The Great Mountain God, your bride and sacrificial offerings have all arrived. Please bless us with favorable weather for the upcoming year…”
During his speech, a heavy breathing sound echoed from within the cave.
The old man was so startled that he couldn’t lift his head and stuttered, “I…will now take my leave…”
Rushing to his feet, he quickly left the sight as if escaping.
The others followed suit and ran away even faster.
Thus, only the bridal litter and the offerings were left behind in their original place.
In the bridal litter, a young girl dressed in red, her hands and feet tied, and mouth covered, her face covered in tear streaks. She appeared to be just twelve or thirteen years old.
She heard heavy footsteps and became even more terrified, with tears streaming down her face.
The footsteps stopped outside her sedan-chair, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a giant dog’s head. It stared at her with greedy eyes and said in human speech, “Young lady, you look so beautiful.”
The sight almost scared the girl unconscious.
