Chapter 276: All Parties Take Action

Just as such huge changes were happening in the eight provinces, the personnel deployed by all parties seemed to have received the signal to act, and they began to appear from the mountains, cities, and countryside.

"Act!"

"Kill!"

"..."

In the crowd of a certain Incense Offering Tower, several ordinary farmers who appeared to be praying suddenly rose up and killed the Incense Temple disciples who were presiding over the sacrificial ritual regardless of everything.

These people were dead soldiers carefully cultivated by various sects and factions, extremely good at disguise and assassination.

Not only were they indistinguishable from ordinary farmers in appearance, but even their behavior, accents, and interpersonal relationships with the villagers perfectly replaced the original farmers.

At this time, these dead soldiers suddenly rose up, making those Incense Temple disciples unable to react at all. Several Incense Temple disciples who were presiding over the sacrificial ritual were instantly hit.

"Boom!"

"There are assassins!!!"

The long-planned assassination broke out at this moment. These dead soldiers also mastered Guiyi power, and their eruption directly wiped out the commoners who had lost their minds around them at the same time.

By the time others in the Incense Offering Tower reacted, many people had already died in the assassination just now.

But since the Incense Temple dared to conduct such a grand sacrificial ritual so openly, they were naturally prepared. With the appearance of more powerful incense makers, the two sides soon fought into a ball.

Immediately, various Guiyi powers raged directly around the Incense Offering Tower, and the commoners around them were killed and injured countless times as a result.

However, no one noticed that the statue of the Five Blessings God in the Incense Offering Tower began to gradually change during their fighting.

The original wooden or stone fetus gradually began to become full of flesh and blood, while the bodies of the dead commoners became withered and decayed, like rotten wood that had been squeezed dry of everything.

This similar situation gradually spread to the vast majority of Incense Offering Towers in the eight provinces as time passed. A large number of common people were affected by the fighting between the Guiyi-drivers and died completely.

Of course, there were also a large number of Incense Temple disciples and people from other sects who died. With the tragic fighting and the raging Guiyi power, the eight provinces quickly turned from a world full of incense smoke into a hellish scroll.

The statues of the Five Blessings God, which had been worshipped day and night, now each underwent inexplicable changes. These statues gradually looked full of some indescribable majesty.

Due to the large number of casualties, the smoke columns that originally rose from the Incense Offering Towers gradually became thin or even disappeared because of the trouble at the Incense Offering Towers.

Many sacrificial rituals being conducted in the Incense Offering Towers were interrupted as a result. After all, a ritual without anyone presiding over it naturally could not continue.

Seeing such an effect, the sect leaders or elders of various sects who were hiding suddenly felt that the big event could be accomplished, and joyful smiles appeared on their faces one after another.

"Good! As long as this bloody sacrificial ritual is interrupted, that person will surely have to appear!"

"That's right, several saints have been waiting for a long time. As long as he dares to appear, there will inevitably be a devastating disaster!"

"Tell the disciples not to care about anything, destroy the Incense Offering Towers in various places as soon as possible. It is best not to leave any of these Incense Temple poisons!"

"That's right, after this battle, it is necessary to completely wipe out the Incense Temple!"

"..."

The biggest taboo of any ritual is being interrupted halfway. Interrupting the ritual will lead to failure at best, and backlash against the person presiding over the ritual at worst.

It was precisely because they understood this point that they chose to act together at this time.

And by constantly attacking the Incense Temple disciples and destroying the Incense Offering Towers, they not only left the Incense Temple with no one to use, but also ensured that even if the Incense Temple reversed the situation later, it would be impossible to recover the failed ritual.

Of course, they still had some doubts in their hearts, that is, until now, none of the ancestors of the Incense Temple had appeared. I don't know why?

However, just when they were happy about successfully interrupting the sacrificial ritual, the thick smoke that was originally churning and changing in the sky gradually decreased due to the reduction of the smoke columns on the ground. The eyes, fingers, clothing, and hair that were constantly condensing and taking shape also gradually stopped.

But the thick smoke in the sky did not dissipate as a result. On the contrary, those things like eyes, hair, fingers, and clothing condensed from smoke actually began to fuse with each other.

A moment later, a terrifying existence with countless eyes, thousands of strands of hair, arms made of fingers, and covered in tattered clothes appeared in the sky.

As soon as this thing took shape, it instantly covered more than half of the sky and radiated a creepy and terrifying momentum.

This monster hovered high in the sky, countless Guiyi eyeballs peeping at the human world, the whole scene looked like a giant observing a group of ants on the ground...

Soon, this monster seemed to have come alive. Countless eyeballs began to turn uncontrollably and released terrifying rays toward the ground. The disciples and dead soldiers of various sects who were destroying the Incense Offering Towers were instantly deprived of their vitality.

Immediately after, countless strands of hair fell into the human world. Those commoners who had already lost their minds, the Guiyi-drivers who had lost their lives, and even the Incense Temple disciples were entangled by these strands of hair, and then became walking corpses manipulated by it, crazily surrounding and killing other living people.

Such a shocking change instantly made the sect leaders and elders of various sects who were watching the situation tremble.

They couldn't understand at all why they had interrupted the progress of the ritual, but now a more terrifying monster had appeared in the sky!

"What, what, what is this?"

"Incense Temple!!! A trap, this is definitely a trap!"

"Quick, quick, withdraw the disciples!"

"..."

Soon, after they came to their senses, they immediately ordered others. The situation had completely spiraled out of control for them, and the only thing they could do next was to minimize their own losses.

However, at this moment, powerful auras also erupted from all directions in the sky.

"Rumble~"

Dozens of huge chariots seemed to appear out of thin air and soared into the sky, rushing toward the huge smoke monster.

On these chariots, there were a large number of red-armored infantry holding spears and sharp blades, and each soldier was surrounded by a monstrous murderous aura.

As soon as these chariots appeared, the tragic battlefield atmosphere infected countless people. At this moment, the people watching the battle felt as if they were on a terrifying bloody battlefield.

"It's the Soldier Master who has taken action!"

Seeing these huge chariots, the high-level sect members instantly understood that this was the legendary special existence who had achieved the status of a saint with iron-blooded military power.

The saints who were originally prepared to target the Incense Master finally couldn't help but take action in the face of such a change in the situation. ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
