This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

"The thunder has stopped!"

"The rain has stopped, too!"

"The sea has calmed down, thanks to the blessing of the sea god!"

The people were impressed by the "miracle" of calm sea and knelt down to kowtow to the sea. The priest also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You...you look!" Someone pointed at the sea surface, where a blue light was shining and a human figure was slowly rising from the sea.

"It's the Sea God, the Sea God has arrived!"

"Long live Lord Poseidon!"

"Lord Poseidon, we respect your teeth—"

The priest's expression turned ugly. He could feel that the aura of Orka was very similar to that of the giant whale he had seen in the polar sea.

Even if the giant whale of the polar sea is a docile monster, its strength after transforming is enough to kill me.

What made him even more uneasy was that Orka looked at him as if he were a dead person.

He had already come to a terrible conclusion in his mind, but he was not willing to believe it.

"Wait, look, the Sea God is holding someone in his arms!"

“It’s Lingjue!”

"Why is she here?"

Just as the crowd was confused, Orka spoke.

"As you can see, I am the sea god of this sea. Of course, you can also call me Orca."

"I appreciate your sincerity and love for me, and I try my best to return this feeling."

Olka suddenly changed the subject: "But what I didn't expect was that a despicable and shameless villain would destroy all of this!"

The crowd was immediately in an uproar, and the priest's expression became extremely ugly.

"Please...excuse me, what do you mean?" Someone mustered up the courage and asked tremblingly.

Orka took a deep breath and tried to make her tone less excited, but her next words still became a bombshell.

"The Sea God never needs any sacrifices."

"Liar!" The priest couldn't hold back his expression any longer. He quickly jumped out and shouted, "If there were no sacrifices, this place would have been destroyed by the anger of the sea god. How dare you speak nonsense here!"

"You say I'm talking nonsense, then who are you?" Orka looked at the priest with a cold tone.

"I, I am the priest of Lord Poseidon!"

"That's funny. I never established any priests."

"Stop confusing us here, folks. This guy is a liar!"

The priest still wants to continue to muddy the waters. After all, most people are blindly obedient. As long as he takes advantage of this, he will be invincible in public opinion.

But Orka's next words made it impossible for him to calm down.

"I've seen you. When I was targeted by the Sea Heart Flame and then corroded, I saw you near the coast."

"Hai Xinyan?"

"what is that?"

At first there were only one or two people who were confused, but soon the voice grew louder and spread like a tide.

"I know. I've looked it up in a book before. It's the legendary strange fire." A figure who had blended into the crowd at some point spoke.

"Strange fire?!"

The owner of this sentence obviously has some knowledge and experience. He immediately continued, "When a strange fire appears, all kinds of fires prevail. Each kind of strange fire is a rare treasure. Even a low-level strange fire will attract countless peerless masters to fight for it. It is not an exaggeration to say that countless lives have been lost for it."

"It is said that there are a total of 23 kinds of strange fire in Douqi Continent. This Sea Heart Flame ranks 15th on the list of strange fires. It is said that it is the incarnation of the ocean. Although it is a strange fire, it is born in the deepest part of the ocean where water is most abundant. It can even mobilize the power of the ocean."

"so smart?"

"I heard that Lord Gu He, who is a distinguished guest of the Yun Lan Sect, is willing to offer a high reward for even the slightest clue about the strange fire."

"Amazing……"

Under the guidance of this figure, people talked about what they heard from various channels.

During this period, they would occasionally look at the priest, their gazes had changed from the previous admiration to some suspicion - after all, apart from the officials regularly sent by the empire to collect taxes or conscript soldiers, there were almost no people coming here, and the timing of the priest's arrival and his identity were full of doubts no matter how you looked at it.

In the past, because of the disaster, people had some doubts, but facing the current situation, they basically swallowed these doubts in their stomachs. But now, with the appearance of Orka, all these doubts that had been swallowed up have been released.

"What nonsense!" Although the priest was a little panicked at this time, he did not completely lose his composure.

"No one has ever seen a strange fire. How do you know it is a strange fire and how do you know it is the Sea Heart Flame?"

"Then I will return this sentence to you intact." Orka ignored him, "During the years you have been a priest, you have fed those poor girls things like Ice Fruit, Blue Water Spirit Pearl, and Dark Yin Grass, right?"

"So... so what? These are all necessary things for the sacrifice!"

"How is it?" Without waiting for Orca to answer, the figure in the crowd spoke again, "These are all spiritual objects specifically targeting the Sea Heart Flame. If you were a little more careful and used some irrelevant spiritual herbs to confuse people, we might not be able to make a conclusion. Unfortunately, you probably think that ordinary people can't see through your tricks, so you even saved this little work."

"If you really didn't know, how could you have accurately determined that these spiritual objects were needed? You didn't even consider the so-called [auxiliary materials] at all."

The suspicion on people's faces deepened.

Orca also spoke at the right time: "Originally, I don't care about you stealing my name, and I don't care about you coveting the Sea Heart Flame, because I don't really need it. But what I can't tolerate is that you fabricated rumors of sacrifices for the Sea Heart Flame and killed innocent people!"

"If you want to weaken the sea flame, you can either throw those spiritual objects directly into the water, or let livestock eat them and then throw them into the sea, both will work. But you actually thought of using humans as sacrifices!"

"Impossible! This is a huge joke!" The priest still fought stubbornly.

"Hey, this guy's only tough mouth is probably his best friend. In that case..."

The figure who had brought up the topic among the crowd before, Void Devouring Flame, sneered disdainfully, then winked at Orka.

Orka looked at the priest coldly, "You really can talk a lot."

She took out a transparent round bead and threw it into the air. The bead flashed with dazzling light, and then exploded, and translucent powder covered the sky.

"This...what is this?"

"very strange……"

The priest immediately discovered something was wrong: "Oh no! This is medicine powder!" He hurriedly tried to hold his breath and concentrate, but it was too late.

"Don't worry, everyone. This is the [True Word Powder]. It has no harm to the human body. It has only one effect, which is to make those who inhale it speak their mind and never tell lies."

Orka added: "If you don't believe me, I will randomly ask a few people. As people who live in the same place as me, you should know whether it is a lie or not."

After speaking, Orka pointed at a person in the crowd.

"What's your name?"

"Dan Jiu."

Orka turned her gaze to the others, and they all nodded.

"What do you usually do?"

"Cleaning the courtyard for Mr. Chen's family in the east of the city."

"What were you doing yesterday?"

"Yesterday, the second young master of the Chen family gave us some money, and I went to a restaurant in the west of the city for a meal."

"It's true. He ordered half a dog, two plates of beef, and a roast goose."

A man dressed as a waiter in the crowd answered.

Orka nodded and chose the next target to ask questions. After repeating this several times, the people had come to believe that this was indeed a powder that could make people tell the truth.

"It's fake! It's all fake! You must have drugged them to make them believe it!"

"You will know it soon." Orca didn't care about the priest's shouting, "Did you see me being eroded by the Sea Heart Flame?"

The priest showed a look of struggle, but his eyes soon became confused. Obviously, his struggle was in vain.

"Yes, I saw the Sea Heart Flame when I happened to pass by. I was overjoyed at the time. After confirming that there were no other witnesses around, I began to plan a plan to get the Sea Heart Flame."

"What are your specific plans?"

"I visited all the places where people live around this sea area. Usually there are almost no powerful people coming here, and the level of cultivation is also average. I know that after the Sea Heart Flame finds a host, it will use the host to cause changes in the ocean, so I deliberately waited for a while, and then disguised myself as a priest to gain trust. While constantly weakening the Sea Heart Flame, I can also conceal my tracks."

"Then why do you claim to use living people for sacrifice?!" Orka's hands were already filled with fighting spirit. If he had not continued to ask questions, the priest would have turned into a corpse by now.

"I read in the storybooks that it said so, and if I said I would use pigs, cows and sheep, they might not believe me."

Hearing this, not only Orka, but everyone else stared at the priest with angry eyes, wishing they could rush over and eat him alive.

"Please be patient for a moment, everyone. Once I'm done asking questions, I'll make him pay the price."

The invisible pressure spread from Orca, and people's breathing became a little blocked.

Although Orka was also very angry, she knew very well that it would be too easy for him to die like this.

"Aren't you a bit uneasy?"

"There were some at the beginning, but there were none later. Anyway, those girls will never achieve anything in their lives, so why not use their sacrifices to exchange for my achievements? When I obtain the Sea Heart Flame, my strength and alchemy skills will rise to who knows how many levels. Fa Ma, Gu He, will have to kneel at my feet! By then, the Alchemist Guild and Yunlan Sect will only be fit to carry my shoes!"

"What a ridiculous guy." Void Tunyan curled his lips in disdain.

"What will you do after you get the Sea Heart Flame?"

"When the time comes, I will use the materials I have accumulated to devour the weakened Sea Heart Flame. Once I can fully control it, I will use a tsunami to clean up this place. As for the guards I hired, I will give them drugged wine to poison them in the name of a celebration banquet. In this way, no one will ever know what I have done."

After hearing this, the guards' expressions changed. They were just doing the job for money, but the other party wanted to kill them just to silence them? !

"You are really hopeless." After getting the answer he deserved, Orka no longer wanted to ask any more questions.

"Mr. Xu Yan, it's your turn now."

"No problem." Xuwu Tunyan raised his hand, and countless invisible tiny sparks passed through the crowd, completely eliminating the medicinal power of Zhenyan Powder.

"What, what's going on?" The priest, who regained consciousness, looked at the crowd glaring at him and finally began to panic.

"It's nothing, it's just that you just revealed all your goals." Xuwu Tunyan looked at him with a smile, "But I really didn't expect that you would even kill your own guards in order to silence them. You are indeed a man who does great things."

The priest subconsciously used his fighting spirit to transform into wings and tried to escape from the air, but the next moment, a huge black palm slapped him to the ground like slapping a fly. What terrified him even more was that when he was slapped down, all the fighting spirit in his meridians was sealed! Now, he might not even be able to beat a child with the third stage of fighting spirit.

"Where else do you want to go, dear priest?" Void Swallowing Flame said kindly, "There are many people here who want to have a [friendly exchange] with you, you can't just leave like that."

"You, you can't kill me!" Cold sweat covered the priest's head. "I am Yu Nianbei, a second-rank alchemist from the Alchemist Union! My elder brother Yu Nianji is a guest official of the Gama Empire! If you kill me, neither the Alchemist Union nor the Gama Empire will forgive you!"

"Oh, I'm so scared, but Mr. Priest, oh no, Mr. Yu, you know that apart from the imperial officials who come here to collect taxes and conscript soldiers regularly, there are not many outsiders coming here, right? Then, there is no risk for us to kill you here."

"Also, don't think I'm easy to fool. The president of the Alchemist Union, Fa Ma, has always cared about his reputation. If you let him know that you sacrificed a living person for the Sea Heart Flame, do you think he would forgive you or punish you?"

"But you don't have to worry about this. I will let you enjoy it next."

After Xuwu Tunyan finished speaking, two pills appeared in his hand, and he stuffed the pills directly into Yu Nianbei's mouth.

"Woo... Woo..." Yu Nianbei wanted to spit out the pill, but when the pill came into contact with his tongue, it began to melt into liquid and flowed into his mouth.

"Although it's too extravagant to give such a precious elixir to a scum like you, I don't care."

"You, what did you feed me?!"

"They are all good stuff." Xuwu Tunyan looked at Yu Nianbei's horrified expression and smiled: "One is the [Crazy Regeneration Pill]. As long as the damage is not fatal, it will regenerate quickly in a short period of time. Even if all the flesh on your body is cut off, it will grow back in a few minutes. However, this pill has a flaw. Every time it regenerates, it will strengthen your senses. So in the future, you will probably feel pain if you are even slightly scratched."

"The other one is the [Strengthening Pill]. If you receive a potentially fatal injury, this pill will protect you from it."

Yu Nianbei's expression was out of control. Void Tunyan's words made him clearly realize what kind of purgatory he would face next.

"Master! Please forgive me! I was really just possessed by a ghost! I have money, medicinal herbs, and scrolls of alchemy, all of which I can give you! Please let me live! When I go back, I will chant sutras and pray for those girls day and night!"

He began to cry bitterly, and at this moment he realized what a terrifying existence he was facing.

"Don't be so anxious to call me grandpa, I don't have a grandson like you." Xuwu Tunyan took two steps back in disdain, "Don't worry, the effect of the elixir is one month. After one month, you can die peacefully. Anyway, for a Dou Wang like you, even if you die, your soul can still survive for a long time. Maybe when your soul comes out, I will give you a new body, hehe."

After saying that, Xuwu Tunyan pulled Lingjue away, and no matter how Yu Nianbei shouted, he did not look back. The people, who could no longer hold back their anger, and his guards rushed forward frantically.
