Chapter 12 The Grand Sacrificial Ceremony

The sacrificial ceremony was today.

In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, the commoners of Jiaolong City were already splashing water and sweeping the streets, leaving them sparkling clean.

Under the rule of the Sea God Sect, the sacrificial ceremony was the most important day of the year for Jiaolong City. Even though the commoners held resentment in their hearts, they only dared to be silently indignant, carefully complying with the demands set forth by the Upper Sect's cultivators.

A solemn and spectacular harmony of music emanated from the plaza where the Jiaolong statue stood, produced by dozens of different instruments such as tuned stone chimes and bronze bells.

An hour before the sacrificial ceremony was due to begin, Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian had already arrived at a tavern, having reserved their places in advance.

Having ordered some of the tavern's signature dishes, the two savored their meal and conversed quietly, appearing to be ordinary diners.
