<h4>Chapter 878: Chapter 878: As You Wish, My Lord (6th Update)</h4><h4></h4>
At that moment,
Xue An pushed the door open and walked out.
"My lord! Are we setting off now?" Aixi asked excitedly.
Xue An nced at the Blood n chaotically flying in the sky and indifferently said, "Good!"
With that said, the three of them were ready to head out.
But as they descended the staircase,
they saw d and Win Ni sitting in the hall having breakfast.
Upon seeing Xue An, d put down his knife and fork and gave Xue An a slight smile. "Respected sir, haven’t you had breakfast yet? Care to join us for a bite?"
Xue An looked at the cutlery already prepared beside him and couldn’t help but smile.
"Sure!"
He said, and naturally took a seat, picking up the knife and fork and cutting off arge piece of steak.
This scene left Win Ni and others like Huo’er utterly bewildered.
What was going on?
However, Aixi just chuckled and, not ashamed, took a seat beside them and began to eat heartily.
"How’s the taste?" d asked with a smile.
Xue An nodded, "Passable, I suppose!"
"Heh, Ibored over it all night to make it. I think it’s quite good, although it’s a bit tough on the teeth!"
"Tough on the teeth? I didn’t notice that—probably because my teeth are quite strong!" Xue An said casually.
d’s smile narrowed his eyes into slits.
Win Ni hadn’t even seen her leader smile like that before.
Then d picked up his ss and toasted to Xue An’s ss on the table.
"Thank you!"
Xue An let out a slight sigh, "Truthfully, aren’t you scared at all?"
d shook his head, "No fear! For the sake of those innocents, I will not feel afraid!"
Xue An gazed at d for a long time before finally lifting his ss and downing the wine in one gulp; then he let out a sigh. "That meal was really expensive! But the taste was not bad!"
d’s smile grew even brighter.
Listening to the riddle-like conversation between the two men, everyone was collectively dumbfounded.
What in the world was this?
Only Huo’er’s eyes briefly shed with understanding, and he promptly bowed his head deeply, not daring to show the slightest oddity.
After finishing this strange breakfast,
the group gathered together and started to head towards the location where the blood sacrifice would be held.
To this day,
the altar that had long been constructed was finally stripped of its disguise, revealing its true appearance.
It was an altar a thousand feet high, engraved with countless sinister magic arrays.
Even as it stood silently there, it caused the blood energy of the world to surge turbulently.
At this moment,
countless Blood n members who hade to witness the event had already gathered around.
The arrival of Xue An and his group did not attract anyone’s attention,
and the murmurs were endless.
"Tsk tsk, I heard that the Gils n is splurging a hundred billion lives this time—such extravagant generosity!"
"The three big nsbined must ount for nearly two hundred billion lives, right? I can’t even imagine how magnificent this blood sacrifice will be!"
"Hey, do you think that the secret party leader d will show up this time?"
"Heh, I doubt it. This is a collective action of the three major ns and all the upper-ss nobility. Even a fool knowsing here is seeking death!"
"Hehe, if he doesn’te, that secret party is as good as finished!"
"I’ve always said, there’s no good ending when you stand against these nobles. Just wait and see—once the ancestors of the three major ns wake up, the secret party will face total annihtion."
The voices of these discussions were ceaseless.
Yet d was behaving as if they weren’t talking about him at all, even chatting with a Blood n member beside him.
"My good sir, I think what you just said is spot on. That secret party leader d is nothing but a cowardly wretch. He definitely wouldn’t dare toe!"
Upon hearing this, the Blood n member sized up d, saw that he was just an ordinary Blood n member, at most a Marquis, and thus smiled smugly.
"Kid, you’re thinking the right way. Especially unbelievable to me is this d preaching about ’equality for all races’ and forbidding bloodsucking."
"That sounds like aplete joke. If we Blood n don’t drink blood, then what are we, the Blood n? Are our sharp teeth just for show? Such wishful thinking and nonsense!" ranted the Blood n member,pletely unaware that the man in front of him was none other than d himself.
And the secret party leader kept nodding and asionally agreeing with him.
Such a scene was so absurd that Win Ni, who had long been secretly protecting d, could not help but bothugh and cry.
She had no idea when her leader’s cruel sense of humor would change.
At that moment,
More than a hundred streaks of intense blood light soared through the sky.
In an instant, they appeared above the altar.
Standing at the forefront were the spokespersons of the three major families.
Inor Condin spoke first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we perform a blood sacrifice to wee the awakening of the ancestor of the Ino Family and to demonstrate the mighty power of the Blood n!"
After speaking, several aged elders of the Blood n walked up behind him.
In their hands, they each held a huge box.
When they opened it,
Dozens of dazzling orbs of light rose into the air.
At the same time,
Both d and Clementine opened the boxes they had brought.
Then the gap became evident.
Inside Clementine’s box were only thirty or forty orbs of light.
While on d’s side, there were several hundred.
These light orbs floated in the air, illuminating half of the sky.
What were these light orbs?
Many of the Blood n were stunned.
At this moment, some of the Blood n eximed, "Look what’s inside those orbs of light!"
All eyes turned to look.
They could see something moving inside the orbs floating in the air.
At the same time, faint cries and shouts could be heard.
Upon closer inspection,
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
For inside those orbs were dense masses of creatures
Each orb contained at least tens of millions of beings crowded together.
These numerous orbs represented at least hundreds of billions of lives.
Such a scene turned the faces of even the gentler members of the Blood n pale.
But there were many in the Blood n who shouted excitedly,
"Excellent! What a method!"
"I remember my grandfather telling me, back when our Blood n roamed the world, we used this method to blood-sacrifice an entire Star System! Now that’s what I call a grand gesture!"
These exmations of admiration and screams of terror merged into a tumultuous roar.
Inor Condin nced at d and Clementine.
They were waiting.
Waiting for d to appear.
But still, there was no sign of him.
At that moment, d, known for his brutality, stepped forward, scanned the crowd, and sneered, "d, I know you must be here, but do you think hiding in the shadows will solve anything?"
"And aren’t you the one who always imed your secret organization stands for love and equality? Then why don’t you dare to show yourself?"
There was a solemn silence across the field.
Many of the Blood n looked around, trying to spot the legendary figure d.
But there was still no trace of him.
Seeing this, d sneered, "What’s the matter? Scared? Not daring toe forward? Well then, I’ll just crush one of these orbs of light in front of you. Inside, there are tens of millions of lives!"
As he spoke, d reached out and one of the orbs flew into his hand.
He weighed the orb in his hands.
The beings inside the orb began to cry and plead frantically.
Their voices, albeit faint, spread throughout the heavens and the earth, unbearable to listen to.
"Still not appearing?" d’s face grew colder and his fingers tightened, ready to act.
Just then, Xue Anchong whispered to d beside him, "A meal is a bit of a loss; remember you owe me one!"
d nodded, "As you wish, my lord!"
