Chapter 730: Great Sacrifice for the Common People - Sword Pointing at the Nine Cauldrons
It was only after being reminded by outsiders that Zhou You realized that he had been careless and had ignored his disciple's personal problems.

Qi Qingdi grew up with him from a child to an outstanding young man. Unknowingly, the years passed and they reached the age to get married.

Perhaps Zhou You still believed that since elder sister Qi Qingdi was still alive, Qingyao should be involved in matters of marriage.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou You, as a master and the benefactor who raised Qi Qingdi, naturally has the responsibility to arrange his marriage.

Apart from anything else, if Qi Qingdi didn't have Zhou You as his master, the woman he could marry would at most be a wealthy woman in the city.

Shi Rudian was not the first one to see this problem, but he was the first one to propose a marriage.

He has unique conditions. Among his direct descendants, there are women of marriageable age, and their conditions in all aspects are equally matched with Qi Qingdi.

Well, as for the identity of Qi Qingdi’s family, haha!
His branch was originally from an affiliated clan, not a direct descendant. When the Qi family fled Gongliang City and abandoned him, they had already implicitly given up on this member.

The so-called family identity is not just a name, but the endorsement of that circle.

Apart from his surname, Qi Qingdi is no different from an ordinary teenager in other aspects.

His current identity and status are deeply tied to Zhou You and cannot be separated.

"Well, let the children get to know each other better."

Zhou You did not make a final statement. He was more willing to provide an environment for his disciples rather than force a match.

Half a day later, Qi Qingdi, who had hurriedly returned from the battlefield, was stunned when he saw Shi Dongmen and subconsciously wiped the blood off his face.

Shi Dongmen looked at him very calmly and introduced himself.

With their elders present, the two of them inevitably felt a little restrained and awkward, so Zhou You suggested that Shi Rudian and he move aside.

Sure enough, after the two left, Qi Qingdi and Shi Dongmen began to talk enthusiastically.

Zhou You sighed in his heart. On weekdays, Qi Qingdi spent all his time practicing boxing and handling miscellaneous affairs in the martial arts gym. He had no chance to come into contact with girls of the same age as Shi Dongmen, let alone a female martial artist.

Now, there are finally signs of major life events.

Shi Rudian smiled knowingly, "Master Zhou, the children hit it off right away. There is hope that you and I will become relatives in the future."

in law!

This is a means of forming alliances and a way to expand relationships and connections, but it also has hidden dangers.

For example, Sheng Jianling of Shuanggu Yincha Mountain is the in-law of Yinguan Jushi. Because of this relationship, he almost offended Zhou You, and was frightened so much that his sect moved away, and his whereabouts are unknown.

If Shi Rudian offends someone in the future, Zhou You will definitely be invited to help, and vice versa.

All this is still a long way off, and the prerequisite is that both parties are attracted to each other and Qi Qingdi and Shi Dongmen become good families.

At the moment, Shi Rudian proposed the marriage in order to tie Zhou You to his own camp in order to control the alliance.

Zhou You didn't want to be in the spotlight, so he had no objection to just carrying the sedan chair for him.

"Master Zhou, I didn't expect that the Wuwu tribe in Beixuanzhou also likes to deal with these ghostly and magical things."

The two stood side by side, looking at the altars erected by witches outside the city. On the altars, the "Three Witches" presided over the sacrifices, and countless male and female witches danced wildly, cutting their wrists and thighs with knives, and blood flowed along the patterns on the altars.

Echoing this are the wizards and warriors on the front lines fighting desperately.

Countless people died in battle every moment, their souls returned to the void. There were so many corpses that there was not even enough time to clean them up.

"It's not surprising. According to the customs of the witches, war is also a kind of sacrifice. Moreover, it is the highest-standard and most solemn sacrificial ritual, with the most courageous warriors and the most powerful enemies as sacrifices."

Zhou You was talking casually, and Shi Rudian was also inspired, "Witches are barbaric. When it comes to sacrifices, we are more particular. The ancient sage king established the Nine Prisons Grand Sacrifice. The top three are dragons, unicorns, and phoenixes, the middle three are elephants, tigers, and bears, and the bottom three are cattle, sheep, and dogs. There are also 72 accompanying sacrifices, 108 dipping sacrifices, and 129,600 common people sacrifices."

"Heaven created all things to nourish humans. Sacrifices are to repay the grace of heaven. All things are for nourishment. How can living people be sacrificed?" Shi Rudian shook his head and sneered, "Witches are evil and sorcerers!"

"grass!"

Zhou You suddenly swore, his expression full of shock.

This change was too abrupt. The two were originally talking calmly about the witch's sacrifice, but Zhou You suddenly became very excited, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Master Zhou, what happened?"

Shi Rudian asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing!"

Zhou You lost interest anymore and made an excuse to leave in a hurry because the panel prompted him to do so.

"Trial Project (Nine Stars): Great Sacrifice for All People. The Wu Clan and Taoist Master Fu Ji collude to set up a sacrifice. The altar includes hundreds of millions of people from the six states of the North. War is used as a ritual, and the sacrifices are not divided between humans or Wu clans."

"The ultimate goal is to suppress one of the Nine Cauldrons in the North."

“Project mission: survive this great sacrifice for all living things and witness the arrival of one of the Nine Cauldrons’ projections.

Everything is explained!

Lord Chongyang invited Mo Yunzi to meet him in Dijing half a year later, probably because he knew some inside information.

Wars of this scale and intensity often stretch over thousands of miles and last for hundreds of years.

But if the purpose is just to cause maximum casualties and use lives as sacrifices, then a quick victory is a natural thing to do.

Taoist Master Fu Ji, you have really made a big move!

Thousands of cities and hundreds of millions of people in the six northern states, plus countless lives of the wizard tribe, were like a variety of ingredients put into a pot, stewed together, and served on the altar as a sacrifice.

The ultimate goal is just to get one of the Nine Cauldrons.

As mentioned before, the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man are hidden between heaven and earth, and their projections will only be lowered when the monarch ascends the throne and offers sacrifices to the heavens.

However, there are exceptions, because the Nine Cauldrons guard the fifty states in the world respectively, and the six states in the north correspond to one of the Cauldrons.

Ordinary natural disasters, man-made calamities, blessings and disasters, etc., are not enough to alarm one of the Nine Cauldrons, but the great sacrifice for the common people is different.

This grand sacrifice used war as its kitchen, dismembering and slaughtering cities and civilians as sacrifices, brewing an earth-shaking sacrifice.

Zhou You became interested in the Golden Immortal Taoist, whom he had never met before. His planning, vision, and ruthlessness definitely showed that he was a top-notch figure in the world.

He is the purest Golden Immortal. He is not satisfied with studying the broken rubbings, so he personally takes out the original Nine Cauldron inscriptions.

"Master Fu Ji, what kind of person are you?"

Zhou You knew that he couldn't avoid this storm.

Whether it is the city where the main body is located, or the first vest hidden in the Wanli Swamp, they are all part of the Great Sacrifice of the People.

Even the second alias Mo Yunzi could not escape the great ceremony of equality of all beings held by Taoist Master Fu Ji.

Staying alive is already difficult enough in hell, not to mention that one has to survive to the end and stand in the most core area to witness the moment when the sacrifice is completed and the projection of one of the Nine Cauldrons reappears in the world.

Zhou You's thoughts were more active than ever before, and he was thinking at high speed, looking for a way out. This nine-star mission was different from the previous ones, with unprecedented difficulty, and failure would mean death.
