A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 967 - 953: Wings of the Sky

The ceremony held by the Countess was extremely primitive, carrying a sense of bloodiness and cruel savagery.

At this moment.

The residents originally in the town were all frightened with weak legs. They had lived here for generations, believing in the Seven Coils, but had never seen such an evil ceremony.

Now suddenly stimulated by such a scene, it can be imagined how impactful it was for them.

And after the corpses had been drained of blood, it was evidently their turn.

The sculpture at the center of the square was extremely eerie; the blood poured over it did not stain the sculpture but mysteriously disappeared, as if absorbed by the sculpture.

After pouring a basin of blood.

A small part of the Seven Coiled Sculpture suddenly turned blood red.

But the area of this small part was so tiny that if one were to turn the whole sculpture blood red, it seemed they would have to kill everyone here to achieve it.

"Continue."

After pouring out a basin of blood, the Countess began to mutter a spell in front of the sculpture that made people feel dizzy and echoing in their ears.

And Mike Tea and others continued their labor of bloodletting.

All of this.

Machima watched with her eyes.

Now she felt extremely uncomfortable, as if a dragon was trapped in shallow water being mocked by shrimp, and a tiger fallen to plain lands being bullied by dogs, which aptly described her current situation.

As a Cultivator in the Eclipse Moon Realm.

Due to the especial nature of her cultivation path, she voluntarily dispersed most of her power to pursue a higher level, beginning anew.

Acting as a Demon Hunter in the Free Federation for years.

The achievement was almost completed.

She only needed help from the relics of the Seven Coils to make her promotion this time even more perfect, but then this situation occurred.

"Qian Xin had already found out the entrance to the Seven Coils relics was above Wansheng Prison, and I expended much effort and arranged many backups to enter and exit the prison safely, for this very moment.

Unexpectedly.

A few people from the Cult Organization actually caused all my previous efforts to be for nothing."

Machima's eyes began to change. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She pondered whether she needed to destroy everything.

If no turning point emerged in this matter, even by sacrificing the foundation built over years, she could break through the encirclement, yet if she did so, she would forever remain distant from that realm.

The Sun Realm.

Which was the realm where the City Lord resides.

Of course, nearly every major power and Great Imperial head was also mostly around this realm.

Machima had never experienced the Sun Realm, so she did not know the landscape of that realm. Should she unseal herself now, all previous efforts would be in vain.

"However, there seems to be no option now."

She glanced around.

Basically, everything was already controlled by several members of the Cult Organization; the native dwellers within the Seven Coils relics were weak and could never be a match for them.

Luckily, Baiyu sent her the "key" to unseal herself from Loloya.

Otherwise, now.

It would truly be a desperate situation.

Watching Mike Tea and others bleed bodies without wasting any, Machima did not panic.

Now was not the time.

She was waiting.

However.

At that moment, several crisp bird calls sounded suddenly from afar.

Machima's expression changed, looking toward the direction from which the bird calls came.

In the black and distant sky, a few small dots rapidly magnified; it was a group of large eagles with black feathers covering their entire bodies like iron plates, each wing spreading ten meters long.

On each large eagle.

Was a Martial Artist dressed in black armor, holding a sharp blade.

"Iron Armor Demon Eagle, the Sky Wing Corps of the Free Federation." Machima's plan to destroy everything suddenly vanished as the Free Federation army arrived, far faster than she imagined.

But upon thinking further, it seemed logical.

After she escaped prison, the person causing the greatest trouble in Central City disappeared, and with the ability of various consortiums and families in Central City, they naturally had the power to organize forces into the relics.

This kind of relic close to home was the private garden of a major power.

Absolutely something to be secured.

Otherwise, not only would they fail to obtain various natural treasures and valuable information from the relics, but they would also be ridiculed by other countries.

After all, this was within their own borders.

A relic this precious emerged, yet they could not develop or protect it, which clearly indicated a lack of national power.

Look to the Great City.

Within a day of the Blessed Land opening, it completely controlled the situation in the Blessed Land.

This was a display of force.

Iron Armor Demon Eagles swiftly approached in the sky, instantly arriving above the town, circling continuously, releasing loud cries.

"Life's Sin, Hermit Order, Vampires, Pirates, this truly is a gathering of cultists, who knew a single Seven Coils relic would attract so many big fish."

A man in black armor jumped down from the demon eagle's back.

Soon after.

He punched in mid-air, actually sending a layer of terrifying air waves directly toward the Countess in the center of the square.

"If it were usual times, I might give you face as the Third Corps Commander of the Sky Wing, but today, if you dare to intervene, I can only act. Although killing you might bring some trouble, it's still within the bearable range."

The Countess sneered coldly.

The Third Corps Commander in black armor did not act rashly.

They did not know much about the Seven Coils relics, but it was evident the ceremony before them aimed to forcibly open the entrance through Sacrifice.

However.

As a military personnel of the Free Federation, he could not simply watch those cultists performing such an evil ceremony here.

"Yue Lun, I know how to enter the Aerial Garden, it doesn't require a blood sacrifice, just go forth boldly," Machima suddenly spoke.

She immediately saw Yue Lun's concerns.

"Machima, you're actually here." Yue Lun showed a hint of surprise, but did not doubt Machima's words.

He had interacted with Machima quite a bit, knowing her character was absolutely unquestionable, although she continued killing within the Free Federation, it was always those deserving to die.

However.

This method of dealing with violence through violence did not align with Federation law.

Combined with multiple wealthy merchants' murders, the commercial world had secretly fueled the flames, leading to the Federation sentencing Machima to death.

Of course.

At this moment, Yue Lun did not consider Machima merely a Martial Artist; she definitely had a major power backing her, otherwise she could not possibly escape from Wansheng Prison.

"Why haven't you acted? Once the blood sacrifice is complete, you will be powerless even if you want to act."

Then.

Machima incited further.

Yue Lun glared fiercely at her, but his actions did not slow, shaking the long spear in his hand, turning into a black light, directly rushing into the center of the square.

Ka-snap.

Along the way, Mike Tea's stone figure was instantly shattered by this black light.

The Countess snorted coldly, summoning with one hand, creating a Blood Curtain before her.

Bang.

The sound of a violent collision echoed.

Yue Lun groaned, stepping back two paces. While the Countess stood unmoving, her body swayed, Blood Qi tumultuous within her.
