As the crowd pushed and shoved, the townspeople dragged Fan Mu and the other two to a cliff. This was where they said the True Yan State was located. At this moment, Fan Mu and Susu had also recovered from their unconscious state, but the two of them were still extremely weak.

Su Su turned her head to look at Fan Mu and Lingyun. She had been arranged to be the first one to enter the True Yan realm, and even though Lingyun had obstructed her, he had not changed this reality. After all, everyone here could testify to the fact that the jade plate was taken out of Su Su's pocket.

She sighed. She didn't understand why such a small thing had happened, and some people had even lost their lives because of it. If it was anyone else, Susu would have shown sorrow, but for a beast like Li Yuan, it was better for him to die.

"We're here, everyone stop!"

For some unknown reason, after Ling Yun agreed to step into the True Yan realm and investigate the situation, he was able to gain the trust of the prophets. Furthermore, he handed over the important task of escorting Fan Mu and the other two to Ling Yun, which made him suspicious.

Recalling the first moment of their meeting, Lingyun suddenly came to a realization. Wang Xiaodong seemed to have said that he had taken care of sacrificial activities before, which meant that he was very likely to be one of the prophets' subordinates. According to common sense, people in charge of sacrificial rites shouldn't casually appear on the streets, let alone recommend themselves as guides for outsiders.

In addition, today was the sacrificial ceremony, it was impossible for an ex-priest to not understand the rules. Even if he were to step down, the conviction of the priest would not disappear, but Wang Xiaosi had violated the taboo of being late for the sacrificial ceremony, and the reason was simply because he had overslept!? For a former priest, it was simply unimaginable. After all, the duties of a priest had many layers, and ordinary people would not be able to come in contact with them. Such a negligent person might not even be able to pass the first round of selections.

After that, everything seemed to follow a predetermined direction, and Wang Xiaodong took the opportunity to invite the three of them to the sacred altar, and coincidentally encountered the theft of the Phoenix Fire Crystal. Coincidentally, Fan Mu's group had obtained the Fire Attribute Jade Plate, and coincidentally, the Fire Attribute Jade Plate contained the power of Asura, which coincidentally connected all of them together, giving off the feeling that something was definitely going to happen, and all of this was being manipulated by the mastermind, but he did not dare to believe that this person was Ling Yun, who had been happily chatting with Ling Yun the other day.

However, what Ling Yun did not know was that even the scheme of turning the True Yan into a sacrifice was suggested by Wang Xiaosi.

"Wang Xiaodong!" Just who are you!? "

Gritting his teeth and glaring fiercely at the waiter, Lingyun swore in his heart that if he was lucky enough to escape from the True Yan Realm, he would definitely show this guy who had the guts to do so.

"Tie him up here," Wang Xiaosi ordered the person who was escorting him indifferently, without caring about Ling Yun's anger.

The crowd settled down, and after a while, Susu, Fan Mu, and Lingyun were brought to the stone altar at the edge of the cliff. According to legend, Lord Phoenix's sacrificial ceremony was held every fifty years, and the grand occasion was not something that could be compared to today.

The three of them followed the order in which they pushed their way into the True Flame Realm and tied themselves to the iron pillars in the middle of the stage. The iron pillars were embedded with golden lines of dragons and phoenixes, and underneath them were even scriptures similar to the Great Charm of Mercy.

"We are about to activate the True Flame Realm again, I don't know if Lord Asura will be truly angry this time, but I remember that the last time the True Flame caused a storm, it almost tore my house apart. This time, the sinner is the one who stole the Phoenix Fire Crystal, so how could the storm not be smaller than last time?"

"Yeah, it seems to be the fifth time this year. The storm is getting bigger and bigger every time. So far, no one has managed to walk out of the True Yan Realm alive. Looks like there will be three more offerings this year."

"Don't speak nonsense. If the Lord Prophet hears you, you will be next. The Lord Prophet is the only one to have stepped out of the True Flames Realm so far. Legend has it that he inherited Lord Asura's divine strength!" A woman dressed in an azure robe hastily interrupted her husband's incoherent speech before bowing three times to the prophet.

"This, this is the True Flame Realm?"

He briefly used wood elemental energy to restore his soul, and that strange drowsiness had already improved a little. However, the feeling of his body falling into a deep sleep still made his heart palpitate, and this time, Fan Mu was completely in a spectator position. He was clear about everything that had happened, but it was not his own doing, as if he was being controlled by someone, and releasing power beyond what his body could bear.

"Fan Mu, you finally came back to your senses!"

Lingyun joyfully said. There was nothing more exciting than a comrade-in-arms returning, Lingyun had witnessed the destructive power of dark elemental energy, if he used that power, it would not be difficult for him to break out.

"Yes, I'm a bit mentally exhausted, but my body is still considered decent." Fan Mu nodded.

"How about it? Do you want to go all out and use that power to escape this place?" Even though he knew that Fan Mu would lose himself because of this, he still proposed this plan. Even though it would be accompanied by great risks, it could be said to be the only feasible method.

"No, I can't control that power," Fan Mu frowned and sighed deeply. "If it weren't for the prophet they were talking about sealing my movements, I'm afraid that I would have killed you in the next moment."

"Is there really no way to use it!?"

Lingyun's forehead was covered in sweat, Fan Mu's refusal was reasonable, but there was no time for him. Was he really going to find a way out from under the cliff!?

Lingyun originally thought that the True Yan Realm was only an illusion used to test lies, and as long as he could find his conscience and sense of shame, he would be able to exit from it. But then, he discovered that he was completely wrong, and the speaking True Yan Realm directly turned into an immeasurably deep cliff. Even if he had a low intelligence, he could still tell that this was an excuse he had deliberately come up with to put the three of them to death.
