Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Ye Fei's words were deafening.

However, everyone present was shocked by Ye Fei's arrogance instead of really taking her words to heart.

The pious sacrificial ceremony fell into a moment of silence because of Ye Fei's intrusion.

Then, they started whispering to each other.

Finally, they looked at Ye Fei with excitement and anger and shouted, "You witch, you are clearly talking nonsense."

"How dare you disrupt the sacrificial ceremony."

"Do you want everyone in Yuecheng to die?"

"Who are you and why are you hurting us like this?"

"Please leave the altar immediately!"

"Yes, leave the altar immediately."

"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

"Sacrifice is our sincerity to God, don't speak nonsense here."

"We all volunteered to sacrifice our children to calm the bloody sky."

"The gentlemen in the City Lord's Mansion did not force us."

"We all hope that this disaster will pass soon. This is the decision made by all of us in Moon City."

"Please leave the altar immediately, or don't blame us for being rude."

"Leave the altar, leave the altar..."

Before officials like Wang Zhi could say anything, the people of Yuecheng below the altar had already directed all their attacks at Ye Fei.

It seemed that the bloody sky and the previous disasters were all caused by Ye Fei.

Ye Fei frowned as he looked at the stubborn, frightened faces of the people below.

Ultimately, it is because the ancient people’s knowledge was limited.

Therefore, most ordinary people still believe in sacrifice, an ancient way of eliminating disasters.

This was also the reason why Ye Fei did not take immediate action when he learned that Wang Zhi and others were using 99 pairs of boys and girls for sacrifice.

Because she was still hesitating whether to meddle in other people's business.

The officials of the City Lord's Mansion looked at everyone under the altar blaming Ye Fei, and an expression of gloating appeared on their faces.

Especially Wang Zhi.

He finally regained his confidence amid the accusations of the common people: "You seem to be quite good at martial arts, and you do have some skills."

"But don't think you can go against public opinion just because you have some skills."

"The City Lord's Mansion holds a sacrificial ceremony to show its responsibility to Yuecheng, and even more so to the people of Yuecheng."

"From your voice, you shouldn't be very old."

"Young people, you should still have awe for the heaven and earth."

"Today is an important day for the sacrificial ceremony. As long as you stop making trouble, I can temporarily let you go."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Zhi tried to control Ye Fei by using both soft and hard tactics.

Unfortunately, Ye Fei is not from this era, and she doesn't buy it.

She moved, took out a long rope, tied up Wang Zhi and other officials of the City Lord's Mansion together, then lifted them up and flew high into the sky.

Ye Fei’s speed was so fast that no one could react.

By the time Wang Zhi and his men reacted, they had already been held hostage by Ye Fei.

"Lord Wang!"

"grown ups!"

"Release Lord Wang and the others!"

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion all pointed their eyes and weapons in the direction where Ye Fei was and shouted loudly.

However, no one dared to take the initiative to attack Ye Fei.

The people of Yuecheng were also shocked by Ye Fei's actions.

They didn't know what to do for a moment.

However, the children who were captured for sacrifice took advantage of the chaos to start crying and even tried to escape.

Some children looked at the dark crowd under the altar and shouted helplessly: "Dad, Mom, take me home."

"I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Because there were too many children being sacrificed, once the shouting started, the entire sacrificial ceremony became noisy again.

However, with the guards from the City Lord's Mansion maintaining order, it wasn't too chaotic.

What made Ye Fei regretful was that even at this time, no one in the crowd under the altar took the initiative to take the children away.

Their eyes looked nervously in Ye Fei's direction.

Wang Zhi didn't expect Ye Fei to be so bold.

He calmed down his frightened emotions and said in a quiet tone:

"Taking an official hostage is a crime of treason and extermination of the entire clan. Do you really want to do this?"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, right?"

"If you have family members among those being sacrificed, I can order them to be released."

"No...it shouldn't be..."

As Wang Zhi spoke, he rejected his own guess.

"If you really had family members in the sacrificial procession, you would have rescued them long ago with your skills."

"Since you dare to do such a bold thing, I guess you are not from Yuecheng."

"Add to that the turmoil caused by the disaster..."

"That's why you dare to act so recklessly, because you don't worry at all that the government will find out about you."

"I am right, sir."

Ye Fei snorted coldly: "Master Wang is indeed a man who has been in the officialdom for many years."

"You're right, but so what?"

The other officials in the City Lord's Mansion who were tied up couldn't help but remind Wang Zhi softly when they saw him still talking about this:

"Sir, it's already this hour and you're still talking about this."

"Let's think of a way to get out of this."

Although their voices were very soft, they still could not escape Ye Fei's ears.

She said with a half-smile: "If you want to leave, you must cancel the sacrificial ceremony and let those innocent children go."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to leave alive."

"You..." The official from the City Lord's Mansion was so angry that his lips trembled.

The mage who was kicked away by Ye Fei before, now crawled and knelt on the altar and shouted loudly:

"Sir, the auspicious time for the sacrifice has arrived."

"If we don't hold it now, we will miss it."

"I can't afford to miss the good time."

"Please order the sacrifice, sir!"

The wizard's attire was unusual to begin with, and coupled with his howling tone as if the end of the world was coming, it quickly aroused the fear of everyone present.

They knelt on the ground and petitioned Wang Zhi: "Please order a sacrifice, please order a sacrifice..."

Wang Zhi looked determined to do whatever he wanted, and he looked at Ye Fei and shouted, "Don't think you can threaten me like this."

"The sacrificial ceremony is imperative."

"Even if I die here today, the sacrificial ceremony will continue to the end."

"Come here, don't worry about me."

"I order that the sacrificial ceremony proceed as normal."

"grown ups……"

"Lord Wang!"

Ye Fei didn't expect that Wang Zhi was really not afraid of death.

The other officials and guards of the City Lord's Mansion were also very surprised, so much so that they uttered sounds of disbelief.

They didn't expect that Wang Zhi actually didn't care about his own life or death at all.

They were both impressed and moved.

"What are you waiting for, do it quickly!"

"Wu Zhien, I order you to cooperate with the master to ensure that the sacrificial ceremony is carried out smoothly."

"No matter what happens, the sacrificial ceremony must not be disrupted."

After making these harsh remarks, Wang Zhi seemed to have disregarded his own life and death.

At the same time, something unexpected happened in the bloody sky again.

A super blood moon appeared high in the sky.

"what is that?"

"Why is the moon also red?"

"And it's a big, round, bloody moon."

"Is it because the sacrificial ceremony was not held normally that the bloody moon appeared?"

"This must be a warning from God."

"Hurry up and offer sacrifices, hurry up and offer sacrifices, we must not offend the gods again."

"Master, perform the sacrifice quickly!"

The people of Yuecheng below the altar screamed in shock.
