Chapter 186.2 - The Grand Ceremony Begins

.

In the depths of the Savage Wasteland, two thousand miles deep, a Bloodthirsty Lion stared at a Wild Fang Dog. Suddenly, it let out a roar, pushed off with its four paws, and its massive body leaped forward like lightning. It pounced towards the Wild Fang Dog, causing the ground where its four paws stood to explode.

The eyes of the Wild Fang Dog flickered with a corroded and rusty gaze. Despite facing a much stronger opponent, the Bloodthirsty Lion, it didnt flee. Instead, it let out a mournful howl and charged at the opponent like a wolf.

The two collided. Blood splattered, and the Wild Fang Dog was sent flying, with a large piece of flesh torn from its back by the Bloodthirsty Lion. Immediately, the Bloodthirsty Lion landed and swiftly leaped again, attacking once more. The Wild Fang Dog only managed to roll over before one of its legs was bitten, instantly shattering it.

But at that moment, the Wild Fang Dog suddenly shook its head, and the fangs at the corner of its mouth pierced fiercely into the Bloodthirsty Lions neck.

Roar Under the severe injuries, the Bloodthirsty Lion let out a fierce roar and stomped one of its hind legs onto the Wild Fang Dogs abdomen.

After delivering this blow, the Bloodthirsty Lion fell to the ground, blood spraying from its neck. It let out two low roars in unwillingness before losing its breath. The Wild Fang Dog, with rapid breaths, had blood trickling from its mouth and nose, showing that it was also nearing its end.

Just then, a silver figure darted out and stood beside the Wild Fang Dog.

If Qi Bei were here, he would surely recognize her as Huan Yings beast form. The icy green light in her pupils stared at the Wild Fang Dog. With a chilling and ruthless swipe of her claws, she tore open the beasts body. A silver sphere floated out and instantly shot into Huan Yings brow.

Huan Ying sat cross-legged, surrounded by silver radiance.nove(l)bi(n.)com

After half an hour, she opened her eyes, feeling that her aura had become much stronger than before.

Kurt Nord appeared particularly spirited today, his face glowing with a red complexion. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have smoothed out, and his eyes shone brightly. His voice was as resounding as a drum.

The enormous courtyard accommodated over 10,000 Nord Family descendants, while more than 10,000 others had to stand on the streets outside. These Nord Family juniors, wearing black ceremonial robes, became a sight to behold, attracting countless onlookers with various intentions.

After Kurt Nord delivered his powerful speech, he began to kneel and pay respects to the departed ancestors. This was the first step.

This first step alone would take until dawn. The kneeling ceremony of nearly 30,000 Nord descendants would take so long, and the ancestral temple could only hold so many people. They had to enter in waves based on their generation, and with over 20,000 individuals, it would take four hours to complete. Naturally, the direct line of descendants took precedence, with the family head leading the way.

Kurt Nord was the first to kneel and pay respects. He alone entered the ancestral shrine and knelt before the rows of ancestral tablets. After performing the nine kowtows, tears shimmered in his old eyes.

To all the ancestors above, insignificant descendant Kurt bows in reverence. The Nord familys descendants have come to pay their respects after twenty years have passed. Whether the Nord family will perish or flourish, it depends on this moment. I seek the blessings of the ancestors Kurt murmured, memories flashing before him, filled with heartfelt emotions. Regardless of success or failure, he had no regrets in this lifetime.

In the 800-year grand ceremony, we sacrifice to the heavenly ancestors, offering fresh blood and heads as tribute. Are the ancestors pleased? Kurt stood up, straightening his back. The tears in his old eyes had dried up, replaced by an overwhelming aura. He turned around and stepped out. His presence alone sent shivers down peoples spines.

Next came the elders of the Nord family, followed by Raymonds generation, and then Qi Beis generation.

After the direct line of descendants paid their respects, it was the turn of the peripheral branches spanning the eight series that had dispersed within the Golden Leaf Empire and other countries over the past 800 years.

By the time the sky brightened, the entire ceremony of paying respects was finally completed.

However, keen observers noticed something peculiarQi Bei Nord had not made an appearance throughout the entire ceremony. It was truly a puzzling situation.

After the ceremony, the ancestral tablets were brought out, and the Nord family proceeded to the ancestral tomb, where the sacrificial altar had already been set up, awaiting the commencement of the grand ceremony.
