Gu Shenwei stood up He did not expect to be reunited with the girls under such circu women ere about to be set on fire on the altar, which was close to one kilometer away from him, and were in a state of partial loss of consciousness The 10 tribal chiefs were encircling the altar and facing outwards, singing about so in unison

Below the altar stood the nobles, swaying to the saor

The prostrate slaves were at the perimeter They were curled up like porcupines and looked fro robes

On the altar, the sacrifice was about to begin and both Shangguan Ru and Maid Lotus, along with the other three women, were about to be i bird could not cover one kilometer in an instant What h thousands of people in the crowd, and even if they did nothing, they would still form a formidable barrier between him and the altar

Gu Shenithout support; the 10 conscripted savages he had brought along with him were a few kilometers behind him He could not summon them in time The soldiers from the Great Snow Mountain were even further behind him and could not possibly be expected to come to his aid in ti frorew into a crescendo

Gu Shenwei had no other option In this instance, his sword and saber were useless

He lifted the cowhide horn fro at his side to his lips, took a deep breath, and blew into it

The first blast fro of the tribal chiefs It felt as if the lols of a dragon were traveling toward the altar fro the entire world and shooting up to the skies There was no sign that the groould stop as they continued reverberating higher and higher upward

Both the ruling and slave classes of the Land of Fragrance had never heard such a sound before They were caught in a moment of connection with their Gods and could suddenly feel that their eardrums and hearts were under treround see and looked as if it would split open any moment to s them up

Gu Shenwei did not have tis He only wished that the sudden blasts from the horn would draw the attention ofhian

The result was totally unexpected by hirowls of a dragon, s in his path The prostrate slaves were extrerabbing on to every blade of grass or piece of rock they could, as if it would help theht of the heavens

The nobles, who had been standing a o, were even ed their heads or knelt and koed None of them dared to check out where the blasts came from

Gu Shenwei held the horn in one hand and his saber in the other as he ran down the slope He stepped over the bodies of the crowd before hi into the horn after every few steps he took Hea continuous stream of sonic attack

He did not meet any resistance all the way to the foot of the altar

shi+li Molo was the first to recover fro and shouted, “He’s only one man, stop him! Stop hi his excla to look in the direction of where the blasts came from

“One man!” shouted several others

“Stop hi their slaves as they, however, retreated back to hide The Five Peaks Saber was glinting in the Dragon King’s hand and eventhan the horn blasts

The slaves on the perimeter of the crowd slowly lifted their heads, but none of theet close to the altar, and the honor of attending today’s ritual was bestowed only upon the most excellent of the about the altar by word of ent their ainst tradition which has been passed on forlooked like a niht of steps with every step he took Soon enough, he was about to reach the top of the altar

shi+li Molo panicked He did not knohat the Dragon King intended to do Before Old Man Mu went for his retreat, he ordered shi+li Molo to hold the army from the Great Snowmountain back by any means necessary but had not explained the relationshi+p between the two ‘heroines’ and the Dragon King

“People of the ruling class, come! Protect the altar!” implored shi+li Molo He could only seek for their help now

The nobles felt that it was an appropriate call for help by their leader, but each of them also felt that their personal safety was paramount and that his or her constitution eaker than everybody else As such, they remained full of hope that somebody else would step up

Gu Shenwei stood on the top of the altar and laid his horn down He was the ly ietation and rocks in his path on his way to the rescue

Till now, shi+li Molo kept speaking in his native language, but stopped pretending to not know Central Plains Chinese at thisto say, “Dragon, Dragon King, you… we did not offend you, so why…”

“Who are these wo closer by another step The other nine tribal chiefs had retreated a step down the platfor

The 10 wo the sacrificial la with the other tribal chiefs; they were nobility and it was the first ti to a slave

The five women ere nearly sent up the pyre to be burnt alive had been shocked out of their daze by the horn blasts, but were still experiencing the effect of the knockout powder they had taken As such, they were still standing unsteadily

Shangguan Ru and Maid Lotus had recognized Gu Shenwei, but both of therinned like a young child, believing herself to be in her own personal sweet dream

shi+li Molo appeared even more feeble without any supporters around him “They, they are meant to be sacrificed to all the deities in the heavens It’s their honor and they’re… all willing participants”

“I’m a deity Sacrifice therow shorter in stature He did not believe the Dragon King and was even raceful and blasphemous words which exceeded his limits of tolerance
