“Who exactly are you?” The Great Elder stepped forward. “Are you a super-power? A fire superpower?”

Although he had been trapped in this place, the Great Elder still vaguely knew a little about the outside world. Therefore, when he saw the flames that suddenly appeared, the first thing he thought of was the super-powers.

“It’s none of your business.” Ye Lengan’s expression was cold. “However, you’ve done so many heartless things, today is your day of reckoning.”

At this moment, Duo Ji and the elders looked at each other and nodded.

Ye Leng’an was a little surprised by their actions, and a sense of danger flashed through her mind. However, before she could do anything, a big hole appeared in the ground and she immediately fell down.

However, when she fell, a black figure seemed to follow her down the hole.

Before Duo Ji and the others could see anything clearly, the big hole in the ground disappeared again and the ground returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

“Who was that person who went down with her?” The Second Elder frowned, his expression ambiguous. “Is the person the one who came with her?”

“Probably not.” Duo Ji shook his head. “Those people have all been locked up. It’s impossible for them to show up here at this time.

“Forget it. No matter who he is, he won’t be able to survive if he falls with her.” The Great Elder shook his head. “There’s no need to tie ourselves in knots over a dead person. However, today’s sacrifice rite may not be able to continue.”

The rite would definitely not be able to continue. Now that the sacrifice had disappeared, how could it continue?

“That’s really a pity.” The Third Elder stroked his beard, his tone full of regret. “Ye Leng’an is the most suitable sacrifice in all these years. If the rite had been held tonight) the curse of our village might have been broken by now.”

Everyone quieted down immediately hearing his words. After the accident, everyone was in low spirits. Originally, they came here with high hopes. But now, it all came to nothing. The more hope they had just now, the more disappointed they were now.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.” The Second Elder sighed, “Ye Leng’an clearly came prepared. She’s not an ordinary person either. If we really have a head-on confrontation with her, who knows how many casualties there will be in our village tonight? Moreover, I’m afraid that we will not be able to catch her in the end. It will be all in vain.”

Of course, the most important thing was that if they really had a fight, the elders standing on the altar would be the first to be injured or even lose their lives.

Although they were not young anymore, they still cherished their lives.

Therefore, without hesitation, they chose such a way to save themselves. “Second Elder is right.” At this moment, the Fourth Elder also stood up and said, “If we really let Ye Leng’an start a massacre here, who knows what will happen to our village? This is the best solution now.”

The villagers on the empty ground below naturally saw what happened on the altar. They were somewhat unconvinced by the actions of the patriarch and the few elders. After all, Ye Leng’an had been the most suitable sacrifice for so many years. She was also their greatest hope. Since she had disappeared, they definitely felt displeased.

However, when faced with the patriarch and the four elders, they could only accept it.

Besides, the patriarch and the four elders had such high status not only because they were old and respected. Most importantly, their poisonous magic was definitely the best, so they could get the recognition of the villagers. Since they had already decided, the villagers could only obey.

Moreover, in the end) no one was not afraid of death. If they really lost their lives because of Ye Lengan’s killing, it wouldn’t be worth it. Although they couldn’t get out of this place, they were unwilling to pay the price of their lives. After all, if they died, everything would be empty talk.

“What about those people?” The Elder Four Zhan asked, “I mean the people who came with Ye Leng’an. If they make it out alive, it will be a fatal blow to our village.”

Although he didn’t know who Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling really were, he knew they didn’t look simple. They had completely offended her today. If they really let Ye Leng’an and her group off, they would definitely be retaliated against.

After thinking for a moment, Duo Ji said) “Huangfu Ruiling should not be an ordinary person. I think if he can listen to us, it will definitely be a good thing for us.”

“You mean, to poison Huangfu Ruiling with Gu?” The Great Elder immediately understood Duo Ji’s meaning. “But this person doesn’t look simple. Can we really control him?”

“Great Elder, I have absolute confidence in Gu worms.” Duo Ji’s face was full of confidence. “As long as we can control Huangfu Ruiling with the Gu worms and make him work for us, it won’t be so difficult to find the next sacrifice!”

This was a method that he had suddenly thought of. Ye Lengan had fallen down, so it was impossible for her to come out alive. Moreover, there was definitely no exit to that place.

If they continued to wait like this for the arrival of the next sacrifice, they did not know how long it would take. They did not even know if they could wait for it in their lifetime.

However, with Huangfu Ruiling’s help, it would be different. There were so many people outside. With Huangfu Ruiling’s identity, it was absolutely easy to find a suitable person. As long as they could find one, they could start the rite again.

Most importantly, if a candidate was not suitable, they could find a second one. They could try a few more times until they finally succeeded.

After they heard Duo Ji’s words, the eyes of the four elders lit up. Obviously, they agreed with this method. At the same time, they felt extremely excited. The disappointment they felt from losing Ye Leng’an as a sacrifice disappeared.

The Great Elder directly made a decision. “Those people will be locked up first.

From today onwards, the four of us will assist the patriarch in refining the Puppet Gu that can control Huangfu Ruiling as soon as possible.”

The others did not have any objections.

Soon, the crowd dispersed. However, after knowing that there was a better way, everyone felt much better..
