Chapter 2648: The most evil of all (10)

“That’s right, why haven’t I thought of this? Although a part of her blood comes from the lowly human race, she is Holy Maiden’s daughter after all. She has our Sacred Phoenix Race’s blood!”

As Lord Zhan started thinking, a strange, sinister smile appeared on his face.

“No wonder, the prediction back then said today is the glorious day for Sacred Phoenix Race! The wretched lass created such a big problem, and I thought the prediction was wrong. What a surprise! This wretched lass is the crux for the Sacrificial Ceremony!”

“Heaven is indeed helping me—!”

Lord Zhan raised his head and laughed crazily~

When Sacred Phoenix Race practitioners saw Lord Zhan seriously injured, they trembled as they walked nearer to him. Whoever knew, Lord Zhan suddenly burst out into such a terrifying laughter, and that made everyone had a shock. All of them hesitated to continue walking.

Lord Zhan saw their movements and stopped laughing. He tugged the corners of his lips and showed them a smile.

He tried to lower his voice and said, “Come over here! This Seat has something to convey to all of you.”

He assumed that his tone was already very amiable. But in the eyes of the clansmen, his smile was exceptionally strange and his voice made one feel an intense sense of uneasiness.

Everyone exchanged a hesitant look, not daring to walk up.

A cold glint flashed past Lord Zhan’s eyes but his tone became softer. “Come over. Today’s ceremony’s failure isn’t your fault, so This Seat will not blame you for it.”

Hearing that, the clansmen heaved a sigh of relief.

Lord Zhan was a temperamental person. But he had always kept his words and would not go back on it easily.

Since he promised that he wouldn’t blame anyone for it, then… there shouldn’t be a problem?

Asking them to go over was probably because he wanted to brief them on the next course of action.

Sacred Phoenix Race practitioners did not doubt him and started to crowd around.

“Lord Zhan, just now…”

When the majority of people were less than ten meters away from him, Lord Zhan’s slightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide!

Two rays of cold light shot out from his eyes!

At the same time, he put his hands together and swiftly chanted a long chain of mantras!

The entire Snow Phoenix Palace’s grounds started to shake along with his benediction!

As for those practitioners around him, they seemed to have been struck by lightning. All of them turned stiff as they could not even move their fingers!

At the bottom of the Blood Moon Great Array, the blood pool set off rough waves once again!

Sacred Phoenix Race practitioners’ blood essence started to flow out from their seven orifices. Their blood gathered into the Blood Moon Great Array and turned into blood mist. However, the blood mist did not integrate into the blood moon this time, but it shrouded around Lord Zhan instead.

The speed of the absorption of the Blood Moon Great Array was much faster than the previous time when it was activated.

Moreover, the speed was becoming faster and faster!

The current Lord Zhan no longer had any misgivings, nor hesitate in drawing his clansmen’s blood!

Very soon, one after another clansmen fell beside his feet. They went soft like a lump of mud and stopped breathing.

But Lord Zhan’s speed of absorbing blood essence did not show signs of slowing down at all!

All these happened too quickly!

It took just a finger snap and a large group of practitioners had their blood essence completely drawn out. Lord Zhan’s blood and qi lingered around his body, and his ability was raised to another level once again!
