Chapter 484 - Outsiders Must Die!
Chapter 484 Outsiders Must Die!
The next day. One of Su Wei’er’s bodyguards came to lead Chu Xun and the others to the Consecration Ceremony.
“Where is Su Wei’er?” Flaming Qilin asked. “The Saintess has already gone to the altar, and she is waiting for you there.” Both men and women of the Elf race looked very beautiful. As the bodyguard of the Saintess, this female elf was very strong in all aspects, and her cultivation base already reached Grade Ninth of Great Completion.
“Please lead the way!” Chu Xun said. The female bodyguard chuckled, shook her head, and then gestured to the direction of the alter, “Everyone, please.”
The Consecration Ceremony of the Elf race would be held in the east of the forest. When they arrived at the place and looked at the ancient Elf Divine Tree in front, Chu Xun and the others were dumbfounded. “It turns out that it is the Elf Divine Tree that attacked us in the dense fog.” Shi Yifei was shocked.
The Elf Divine Tree was very big, with branches covering the sky, and the diameter of the tree was about ten meters. It was emitting hazy green light. Those branches were the same as those that had attacked Chu Xun and the others in the fog. “The Elf Divine Tree shelters the Elf race. We broke in without permission, so it is reasonable for it to attack us,” Gao Mohan said.
“Flaming Qilin, do you remember how many people came in with you? Where did they go?” Chu Xun asked curiously. Flaming Qilin sneered disdainfully, “Rubbish. One was seriously injured, and the rest were almost scared to death. They were all sent out.” There were many wooden tables and wicker chairs under the Elf Divine Tree. The bodyguard said, “Take a seat, please. The Saintess will come here soon.”
Chu Xun then randomly found a place and sit down. “These fruits of the Elf race are delicious. They can’t be found in the outside world. Only those spirit fruits can rival,” Weng Xiong said vaguely, holding a bunch of grapes.
“It’s comfortable for the Elf race to live here.” Gao Mohan was a little envious. The world outside was in a mess, and it was impossible to find such a paradise there. While they were talking, Su Wei’er and Su Lianyi came over.
“The ceremony will begin soon. After the ceremony, it will be very lively here,” Su Wei’er said with a smile.
“Su Wei’er, you look beautiful today.” Flaming Qilin couldn’t move his eyes away from her. Su Wei’er wore a set of golden armor today. Her face was perfect, her figure was tall and slender, and her skin was as fairy as snow. She looked both beautiful and heroic, really amazing.
“Brother Qilin, I’m flattered.” Su Wei’er was a little shy. “Saintess, the ceremony is about to begin,” Su Wei’er’s guard reminded.
“Sorry, but I have to go get prepared now, I will come to find you when the ceremony is over,” Su Wei’er said. She was the Saintess and must be on stage. “We wish the ceremony a big success!” Gao Mohan said.
“Auntie, please help me accompany them,” Su Wei’er said, leaving Su Lianyi to stay with them, and left. “Her armor is extraordinary!” Gao Mohan sighed.
“You have sharp eyes.” Su Lianyi glanced at Gao Mohan in surprise, “That is the armor of the Elf Queen, and it belongs to our Saintess now. Wearing it, she will not be hurt even if an Earth Immortal Level master hit her.” “So amazing?” Shi Yifei was surprised and turned to look at Gao Mohan, “Gao Mohan, your eyes are sharp.”
Gao Mohan smiled lightly, “I’ve read about it.” Su Lianyi then chatted with them and told them some interesting stories of the Elf race. Gao Mohan stared at the Elf Divine Tree, a strange light flashing in his eyes from time to time.
“Gao Mohan, I found you didn’t talk much today. What’s the matter?” Shi Yifei felt a little strange. “Nothing!” Gao Mohan shook his head, “The ceremony is about to begin. First Presbyter will be here soon.” When Gao Mohan was speaking, a tyrannical vibe moved from far to near.
A handsome, tall man wearing golden armor came over, surrounded by a few elves, and Di Danqing was among them. “This guy had recovered quickly. Chu Xun, did you pull your punches yesterday?” Shi Yifei asked.
Chu Xun chuckled quietly.
“This is First Presbyter Di Yanjing, and his cultivation base is unfathomable,” Su Lianyi introduced.
“Aren’t the people of your race aging?” Qiu Yunping felt strange. The four of them were at the Immortal Level, and now they maintained their middle-aged image. It could be considered a marvelous achievement. But the people of the Elf race all looked very young, and he had never seen an old person here. “It is a gift from the Elf Divine Tree. When we grow up, the Elf Divine Tree will give us Ever-young fruits, so that we can remain young forever. A few kids will be granted the fruits later, and you will see it.” Su Lianyi said in reverence, with a solemn expression.
“How old is the grown-up age?” Shi Yifei asked curiously.
“Eighteen years old, just like you humans.”
Shi Yifei wanted to ask more, but Su Lianyi made a silent gesture, indicating that the ceremony was about to begin. “You stay here. Don’t go to other places. I have to get on stage now.” After finishing speaking, Su Lianyi walked towards the huge altar ahead.
First Presbyter Di Yanjing was also walking to the altar, and the people of the Elf race saluted to him respectfully. But he stopped when he passed by Chu Xun. “Are you the guests from the outside?” Di Yanjing’s voice was gentle.
“Yes.” Chu Xun stood up and answered. “Dear guests, welcome to the Elf race. I hope you have a good time.” Di Yanjing nodded at them and continued walking towards the altar.
Di Danqing cast a sullen look at Chu Xun, snorted, and then caught up with Di Yanjing. “A smiling Tiger,” Flaming Qilin muttered.
“Don’t underestimate First Presbyter. He is sophisticated. Let’s keep wary,” Gao Mohan said.
“Chu Xun is here. What are you afraid of?” Weng Xiong admired Chu Xun very much.
“Did you see the other three people following him? Their cultivation bases are above that of Di Danqing. And we don’t know how strong First Presbyter is. We must be careful.” Gao Mohan’s eyes flashed with wisdom. Flaming Qilin, Shi Yifei, and the others looked at Gao Mohan puzzledly.
“Gao Mohan, you look weird today. You sound a bit like Chu Xun,” Shi Yifei joked. “I agree.” Qiu Yunping nodded afterward.
“Gao Mohan, do you think it’s cool to imitate Chu Xun?” Weng Xiong joked. “Maybe!” Gao Mohan said with a smile.
“Consecration Ceremony starts now!” At this time, an Immortal Level expert behind Di Yanjing announced the beginning of the ceremony.
Everyone became silent. On the altar, there was a huge golden throne near the Elf Divine Tree, and Su Wei’er was sitting on it.
Di Yanjing stepped forward and said loudly, “People of the Elf race, today is our annual Consecration Ceremony. Let us follow the Saintess and thank the Elf Divine Tree for sheltering us.” Su Wei’er stood up with the help of the guards, wearing a suit of golden armor and a crown. Her delicate face was full of holiness.
Su Wei’er knelt towards the Elf Divine Tree. Di Yanjing, the other presbyters, and all the other elves knelt on the ground. There was a fixed prayer for the Consecration Ceremony.
After presenting flowers and fruits to the Elf Divine Tree, Su Wei’er began to pray. The prayer was very long. It took an hour for Su Wei’er to finish it.
“Elf Divine Tree, thank you for protecting the Elf race over the years.” Su Wei’er got up after saying the last sentence, and the people behind her followed. Di Yanjing picked up a wine glass. The wine was made of the fruits of the Elf race. The glass was made of a spar rich in the territory Elf race, looking very exquisite.
“Toast to the Elf Divine Tree for protecting us for thousands of years.” When speaking, he raised the wine glass. Some beautiful women of the Elf race stepped forward and filled the glasses of everyone.
After everyone drank it, Di Yanjing held up the wine glass again, “Second glass, toast to the Elf Queen for blessing Elf race to be prosperous.” “Third glass of wine, I wish Saintess’s beauty will be everlasting and her cultivation base will advance by leaps and bounds. I hope she can lead us to a more brilliant future.”
After three glasses of wine, Di Yanjing walked to Su Wei’er and whispered. Su Wei’er nodded, knelt towards the divine tree, and said, “Elf Divine Tree, this year, there are ten kids of our race coming of age. Please give us ever-young fruits to keep their appearance unchanged.”
Rustle!
The branches and leaves of the Elf Divine Tree trembled as if responding to the prayer.
“Come forward.” Di Yanjing said to the ten young elves.
There were males and females among these ten people, all of whom have just turned and they were all eighteen old. “Kneel and thank the Elf Divine Tree,” Di Yanjing said.
The young elves knelt, and their faces were full of joy. Ever-young fruit not only could keep them look young forever, but it was also a symbol of being recognized by the Elf Divine Tree.
Rustle!
Ten branches as thick as the arm of a baby stretched out. The ten youngsters stared at them and stretched out their hands piously, waiting for the Elf Divine Tree to give them ever-young fruits. The other elves all had blessing smiles on their faces. But suddenly, the ten branches tangled the ten youngsters like snakes, emitting a strong green light.
“Ah...”
The youngsters screamed in unison, almost instantly, they turned into ten mummies. They had still been alive just now but turned into mummies in the blink of an eye, which shocked everyone present.
Soon, a harsh scream sounded. “The Elf Divine Tree is angry, someone offended it.” Di Yanjing immediately knelt and shouted.
The entire Elf race all knelt on the ground, begging the Elf Divine Tree to forgive them. “It must be them! They offended the Elf Divine Tree and killed these ten kids.” Di Danqing pointed at Chu Xun and shouted.
Rustle!
The Elf race people who were sitting near Chu Xun retreated as if he were a plague. “You are talking nonsense! They are friends of the Saintess. They were just sitting there quietly. How could they offend the Elf Divine Tree?” Su Lianyi retorted. “Presbyter Su, you are still speaking up for them. The Elf Divine Tree has protected us for tens of thousands of years. There has never been such a thing before. If these outsiders hadn’t offended the Elf Divine Tree, how could it be angry and punish us? “Di Danqing’s face was full of resentment.
“Don’t quarrel. The Elf Divine Tree will tell us everything.” After Di Yanjing finished speaking, he knelt towards the tree and said, “Dear Elf Divine Tree, did these outsiders offend you? Would you please show me?”
“Damn it! It’s a divine tree, and I’m a divine beast. How dare you say I offended it?” Flaming Qilin’s face was full of sullenness. His words invited the glares of the entire Elf race.
Rustle!
The branches and leaves of the Elf Divine Tree began shaking, and a branch stretched out and wrote three words on the ground, Outsiders Must die!
