This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Void Devouring Flame didn't care about their thoughts. He had already made all the arrangements. He didn't need to worry about anything at this stage. This meant that he could use this time as he pleased.

At this moment, he was strolling near a beach, the sunshine shining on his face, making him feel rare comfort.

Unlike the beaches on the Blue Planet, which are usually occupied by frolicking tourists, there are not many people sunbathing or making sand piles on the beaches here. There are only a few fishermen carefully sorting out the nets they depend on for their livelihood. After all, these are their means of livelihood.

Although almost everyone in the Douqi Continent practices Douqi, for some people with low strength, Douqi is always just a necessary guarantee for survival. To truly survive, they still need other means of making a living.

But this is normal. Wasn't Xiao Yan's Blowing Fire Palm created by a blacksmith himself? It is reasonable to say that this kind of practice can drive changes in other directions. On the contrary, the ninjas in the neighboring ninja world, who have all kinds of skills that can make them well-fed and well-clothed, but only use these skills to kill each other to death, and at the end they still ask where peace is, are particularly speechless and funny.

From a village not far away came the sound of gongs and drums.

"Let's go and take a look." With the idea that one should go and see what's going on, Xuwu Tunyan trotted towards the direction of the drum sound.

What came into view was a long convoy, with a few people in the lead playing musical instruments, followed by dozens of people holding signs, all wearing strange clothes. On the front cart was an iron cage with a person locked in it.

Xuwu Tunyan looked carefully and found that the person in the cage was a girl. The girl's face was calm at this moment, but Xuwu Tunyan caught a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"What are they doing? Execution? Slave trade?" Xuwu Tunyan casually asked a person on the street.

The passerby sighed: "Hey, this is a ritual to worship the gods."

"God?" Void Tunyan curled his lips. Even if there were gods, they would only appear in the universe or even higher planes. Moreover, whether those guys were gods or not was still debatable.

He didn't think that there would be any gods in the Douqi Continent. If there really was one, it would definitely be an inactive god or a weak god. After all, when Emperor Hun Tian was about to suck the entire Zhongzhou dry, no "god" came to stop him.

"If you're talking about a sacrificial ceremony, then the girl in the car is the sacrifice of this ceremony?"

Although he knew that the concepts on this continent were still the old ways, Xuwu Tunyan was still quite disgusted with this so-called human sacrifice. Not to mention that he didn't believe in the existence of any so-called "God" at all.

"Yeah, hey." The passerby sighed, "You are from another place, right? I advise you not to take it too seriously. You should know that this ceremony has been going on for many years. Before the ceremony, there would be huge tsunamis in the sea every year. Not only did the fishermen who made a living from the sea suffer, but even these villages and towns were harmed. It was not until the arrival of the priest that the annual ceremony was performed that the situation was resolved."

"Is that so?" Xuwu Tunyan seemed to be thinking about something. "Indeed, sacrificing one person in exchange for a whole year of good weather and peace and prosperity here is a sure win business from a profit perspective..."

Void Devouring Flame's tone was calm, but then he changed his words, "But, I don't think it's that simple. To be honest, I don't believe there really is any sea god, but I'm very interested in the methods of that priest, so sorry, brother, I still have to mess up this ceremony, let's go~"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Seeing Void Devouring Flame quickly leaving, the passerby sighed again, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sacrificial convoy was full of music and drums, and most of the passers-by cheered. After all, sacrificing a child for a year of comfort was really a great benefit for them. Only a few people looked at the girl in the car with a sad expression.

The convoy moved forward and stopped at the coast.

The leading priest, wearing a blue robe and holding a long staff in his hand, spoke to the crowd behind him: "My fellow countrymen, thanks for your support. Today I will offer the pure and flawless Saint to the great sea god to show our piety!"

A sneer flashed across Xuwu Tunyan's lips. It was really interesting to use high-sounding rhetoric to cover up the bloody facts.

But what he found even more interesting was that he had just done a little research and discovered that this priest with a mysterious face was actually a Dou Wang.

In a place like the Jia Ma Empire, the Dou Wang is also a top-notch strong man. However, this Dou Wang did not strive for a place in the "Top Ten Strongest Men", but hid in a village in a remote area, disguising himself as a priest. This is very suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Void Devouring Flame flashed and appeared in the middle of the sacrificial team.

"Who is it?!" Everyone, including the priest, was shocked.

The priest pointed the long staff in his hand directly at Xuwu Tunyan, "You are so bold and unruly. You disrupted the sacrificial ceremony. Do you want to be punished by God?!"

As he spoke, several big men around the priest, all with murderous looks on their faces, walked towards Void Devouring Flame with weapons in their hands, and the people around him also accused him with angry insults.

"Hey, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious for now." Xuwu Tunyan smiled, and with another flash, the big men flew out directly, and all the weapons in their hands fell into Xuwu Tunyan's hands.

The priest's face changed slightly. He knew the strength of these guards. Each of them had the strength of a Dou Ling. They were definitely not the lackey guards who relied on the power behind them to bully others. The other party could deal with them in an instant. They were probably Dou Wang like himself, or even stronger.

But the priest was not panicked. He calmly asked, "My friend may be new here and doesn't know the inside story. This is what is going on. We are performing a ceremony to worship the sea god. This matter concerns the safety of several surrounding villages and towns. So my friend, can you..."

Xuwu Tunyan certainly didn't think that the priests really cared about the common people. "Sea God? I don't believe there are gods in this world. I only see that you are sending an innocent child to death under the pretext of worshiping a fictitious god!"

"This guy is so brave!"

"If you anger Lord Poseidon, you'll see how you die!"

"If you want to die, go ahead and die by yourself! Don't implicate us!"

"Master Priest, teach him a lesson!"

The people did not know the secret. In their opinion, this man only took advantage of the surprise attack to defeat the priest guards, and he would definitely have no way to deal with the prepared priests.

"Sir, please go away quickly. I am willing to be a sacrifice." The girl in the iron cage spoke.

"Nonsense, even ants try to survive, let alone humans." Void Tunyan retorted without any hesitation.

"My friend, this girl did it voluntarily. We all witnessed it, and she just admitted it herself, so..."

Xuwu Tunyan raised his hand to interrupt: "I am too lazy to play tricks with you. In this case, I also want to see this [Sea God] with my own eyes. How about it?"
