"This is the truth. However, we are not familiar with the Demon Core Continent, so we must hire a guide. And judging from the situation, no one will go to the dangerous Demon City with us at the moment. What's more, I can't do it alone.

I can't protect you two sisters." Zhou Sen shook his head and found that the flow of people on the street seemed to increase, and people were all walking in the same direction, and they were all very happy.

"Hey, I really can't stay any longer." Ruo Xianxian sighed softly.

"What are they doing?"

Just as the two were chatting, suddenly, a pair of soldiers passed by under the city wall. They were driving a few pack horses and had some dry firewood immediately. At the same time, the cheerful residents immediately quickened their pace,

Following those soldiers, the atmosphere was very lively...

There are more and more people, gathering from all directions like a tide.

Zhou Sen and Ruo Xianxian followed the direction of the crowd and soon arrived at a huge square.

This square is the only square in Starlight City. Most of it extends to the residential area. It is very wide and is paved with huge stones. In a section of the square close to the city wall, there is a sculpture statue of the Emperor God Magister.

The statue is extremely majestic and magnificent, reaching a height of ten feet.

The expression of the statue was cold and majestic, and its eyes looked down on the square, giving it the feeling of looking down on the common people. Looking at the god of Chongdi, Zhou Sen always felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the middle of the square. People were in extremely high spirits, talking loudly, and everyone was in high spirits. Many people had children riding on their shoulders, as if they were attending a grand event.

Zhou Sen was afraid that Ruo Xianxian would get lost, so he took her hand and squeezed towards the center of the square.

The density of people is too high, shoulders are squeezed, and it is difficult to move even an inch. However, this does not trouble Zhou Sen. He only slightly activates the "power" state, and the tyrannical power immediately fills every inch of the body. In the dense crowd,

He was strolling around inside, and everything he passed was like an iron plow, squeezing out a path, and the slender body of Ruo, who was held behind him, barely came into contact with others.

The crowd squeezed by Zhou Sen felt like being charged by a bull. Everyone was knocked upside down. Many people cursed, but by the time they cursed, Zhou Sen and Ruo Xianxian had already squeezed in far away.

, the road that was plowed out was immediately healed.

"Thank you." Ruo Xianxian thanked her politely.

"Do you want to pledge yourself to me?" Zhou Sen put his arms around Ruo Xianxian's slender waist and kneaded it without mercy with his big hands.

"What are you doing!" Ruo Xianxian didn't expect Zhou Sen to molest her in public, and her face turned red immediately.

"Didn't we agree that you want to be more affectionate with me?" Zhou Sen looked at Ruo Xianxian with a smile.

"You..." Ruo Xianxian was speechless for a moment.

"From now on, when you are at home, be more proactive and don't be like a zombie. The girls in Wanhua House are all gentler than you."

"You, you..." Ruo Xianxian was so angry that she was trembling with anger when Zhou Sen compared her with the girl from Wanhualou.

"Now I'll teach you a lesson."

In the sea of ​​people, Zhou Sen took Ruo Xianxian's delicate body into his arms and lifted his hands. Ruo Xianxian was immediately embarrassed and angry, but struggled to escape. Fortunately, everyone was paying attention to other things at this time.

, and no one noticed them, which made Ruo Xianxian feel better.

"Okay, don't ask me to take the initiative in the future, you have to take the initiative. Of course, I don't mind taking the initiative. Now, hold my arm!" Zhou Sen ordered.

"You are so shameless!" Ruo Xianxian was let go by Zhou Sen and straightened her messy hair.

"Haha, if the characters on the gangster list are not shameless, wouldn't they be worthy of that list? Did you take the initiative or did I take the initiative?" Zhou Sen's extremely aggressive eyes pressed hard on Ruo Xianxian's unflattering face.

of jade noodles.

"I."

Qi quickly hugged Zhou Sen's arm and stamped her feet hard.

"Well, we can still be a little more intimate."

Zhou Sen laughed loudly and continued to push forward. Ruo Xianxian followed with her head lowered, her face flushed, whether from shyness or anger.

Soon, the two of them arrived in the middle of the square.

There is a huge circle made of stone pillars and thick iron chains. Around the circle, there are fully armed armored soldiers guarding it. There are about two thousand people in total, and the military appearance is majestic.

In the middle of the circle, there is a stone platform built with stones. The stone platform is about one and a half feet high. Although this height is not high, it allows the surrounding residents of Starlight City to have a clear view of the high platform.

At this time, the packhorses carrying dry firewood had already entered the circle surrounded by iron chains, and soldiers were carrying the dry firewood to the stone platform.

Zhou Sen discovered that under the stone platform, there were more than a dozen Chongdi Divine Envoys in black robes standing on both sides. Among them, there were actually two Silver Belt Divine Envoys and a Gold Belt Divine Envoy.

Could it be that this is a ceremony to burn the wizard?

Zhou Sen recently studied the history of Yaoxin Continent and already had a preliminary understanding of this continent. When he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately realized what was about to happen.

As early as thousands of years ago, loyal followers of the Chongdi God Magister described corpse monsters as "wizards" and wizards as the main opponents of human beings; they could transform into humans, have many special abilities, and can also use

"Those who sell their souls to him" gain all kinds of magical powers to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, all kinds of worldly happiness, and even all kinds of abilities to destroy everything.

Not only can demons read people's thoughts, they can also make people move anywhere instantly.

Most people believe that "wizards" are innately the incarnation of corpse demons, and there was a period of crazy and brutal "witch hunting". The dominant Chongdi Temple believes that "wizards" are "servants" of the devil Satan, and they

Those who used evil spells to harm people and were identified as "wizards" were either burned alive or cooked, or beheaded. According to incomplete statistics, there may be as many as 50,000 "wizards" executed throughout the Demonic Core Continent.

.

Fifty thousand people!

There is no doubt that 50,000 people is an extremely terrifying figure. You must know that the population of Yaoxin Continent itself is not prosperous. If 50,000 wizards are really executed, then it can be said that wizards will be executed almost every three to five.

Various cruel methods were used to execute people.

While Zhou Sen was thinking, suddenly, an earth-shattering chant came from the distance, and the flow of people separated into a path like a tide.

I saw a group of dozens of topless men with steel-like muscles carrying a huge nine-legged bronze tripod on wooden beams. Judging from the heavy steps, the bronze tripod was not light.

Soon, the group of big men carrying the bronze tripod arrived at the stone platform, climbed up the stone steps, and placed the huge bronze tripod on the high platform. Then, some soldiers put the dry firewood that had been prepared long ago.

Arriving under the bronze tripod.

In the distance, there was another burst of cheers.

A woman with disheveled hair and tied up was escorted to the stone platform and knelt on the ground. The good-looking young woman was also tough. Although she was forced to kneel on the stone platform, her neck was held high from beginning to end. In her eyes, she showed her steadfastness and unyielding determination to face death.

look.

At this time, the dozen or so divine envoys immediately boarded the stone platform and began to perform some ancient and mysterious movements along the stone platform.

The crowded square suddenly fell silent, the silence was suffocating.

"What are they going to do to that girl?" Ruo Xianxian was inexplicably frightened when she saw someone pouring oil into the bronze tripod.

"They are going to cook that woman alive." Zhou Sen felt inexplicably heavy.

"Ah..." Ruo Xianxian suddenly turned pale, her face turned pale, and she hugged Zhou Sen's hands subconsciously.

After the dozen or so divine envoys completed the ceremony, they walked over to the tied-up woman and formed a circle. Each person stretched out a hand and lifted the woman high.

The crowd burst into an overwhelming cheer.

"Burn her to death!"

"Burn her to death!"

"Cook her!"

…

The crowd was extremely fanatical, with crazy shouts coming and going for a long time.

Amid crazy cheers, the woman was thrown into the bronze cauldron. Then, the dry firewood under the bronze cauldron was ignited, and the raging flames surrounded the huge bronze cauldron.

"Why is this happening!"

"Why is this happening!"

"...Let's go, Zhou Sen, let's go..." Ruo Xianxian's face turned pale, and she pulled Zhou Sen back again and again, muttering to herself.

"She won't die." Zhou Sen whispered in his ear.

"Ah...why?" Ruo Xianxian was stunned.

"There's something strange about that copper tripod, it can't conduct heat."

Zhou Sen's "quiet" state spread like ripples in circles, and soon enveloped the stone platform.

Zhou Sen discovered purely by accident that he originally wanted Shi Danling to capture the woman's soul and ask for it. However, Shi Danling did not feel the breath of dying. This made Zhou Sen very strange, so he checked by the way.

However, he discovered that the bronze tripod was a bit strange, and the woman who was thrown into the bronze tripod did not feel any pain at all.

"Won't those people kill her?" Ruo Xianxian said in surprise.

"Not necessarily. Many times, life is more painful than death." Zhou Sen shook his head.

"Is there any way you can rescue that woman?" Ruo Xianxian begged.

"Disaster."

Zhou Sen stared at the black-robed messengers on the stone platform and shook his head with a stern expression.

Although Zhou Sen has never been in contact with those temple envoys, he can feel the power contained in their bodies, especially the golden belt envoys, which have an extremely primitive and wild power, full of a power that destroys everything.

A violent spirit.

Although Zhou Sen said that the woman would not die, in Ruo Xianxian's eyes, it was still a tragic scene. She couldn't bear it and urged Zhou Sen to leave quickly.
