Afterwards, the states of Shen and Zhen sent envoys. Only then did all the princes know that the Quanrong had invaded, and they rushed to rescue them with a large army.
Unexpectedly, Quanrong not only had strong soldiers and horses, but also monks hidden among them. Among the princes, there were also some monks.
However, the monks on the Quanrong side were obviously more powerful. When they struck, they were either boundless seas of blood or filled with ghost shadows, which would kill them if they touched them.
The princes wanted to drive Quan Rong out of Haojing, but Quan Rong didn't know why but he was unwilling to leave.
Time passed by slowly, and all the princes had no good solution. Quan Rong kept collecting corpses in the city.
An altar was set up in the center of Haojing, which was seven feet high and covered with dense runes.
The runes were twisted and weird, making people dizzy. The altar was almost entirely made of corpses, and it looked terrifying.
All corpses have their faces facing outward. With the blessing of runes, all their faces look like living creatures.
Without exception, these faces were all hideous and twisted, as if they were suffering from endless pain.
On the altar, there are countless lines connecting the corpses.
Most of these corpses were soldiers who died on the battlefield, as well as some common people in Haojing.
On top of the altar, there stood some priests covered with various ornaments and with scary facial makeup on their faces, performing ritual dances.
As the sacrifice continued to dance, it seemed as if some will descended from nothingness.
Inside the altar that cannot be seen, there is a deep pit about ten feet in size. There is half a pool of red liquid in the deep pit.
This liquid exudes a scarlet light and is filled with the smell of blood, but it is a blood pool. The blood is rolling in the blood pool, and the surroundings are densely inscribed with incantations.
These mantras, blood pools, and altars formed a terrifying array. During the movement of the array, endless blood evil energy gathered.
There is also a steady stream of blood, pouring in from unknown directions. Countless blood gathers, and after being condensed in a large array, it becomes blood essence.
This condensed blood essence dripped into the blood pool drop by drop. At the bottom of the blood pool, there was a blood cocoon, and there was an embryo in the cocoon, which was constantly absorbing energy from the blood pool.
Between every breath and every breath, some countless blood energy merges from the blood pool into the embryo. Although this embryo has not yet formed, it has already shown its extraordinary creation.
It turns out that everything Quanrong did was to support this embryo. The embryo had been nourished by hundreds of thousands of human blood and had grown a lot.
When Quanrong saw that all the princes were raising troops to attack, they were unwilling to leave Haojing because only war would provide enough blood and evil spirit.
Whether it is the enemy's blood or your own blood, it will eventually gather in the blood pool and become part of the embryo's nourishment.
The princes outside the city were still unaware of the changes in the city. After the army gathered, they dared to resist when they saw the dog soldiers.
Then they surrounded Haojing and attacked day and night, not wanting to play into Quanrong's hands.
Even if Quanrong wanted to use his infinite blood to feed the embryos in the blood pool, he would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and massacre civilians.
If he is hated by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the sages of the human race, no matter how many benefits he gets, he will not be able to make up for it.
But now, in the name of the State of Shen, they invaded the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. They also used the corpses and blood of the fallen soldiers to support the embryos.
Even if the sages have some opinions, they are still within the tolerance range. What's more, Quan Rong is not without backers.
Someone used great magic power to disrupt the secret of heaven. In addition, the time was still short, and the gods and gods did not notice anything unusual. They just thought it was a normal human struggle.
As the princes gathered, both sides began to attack continuously, and countless soldiers died tragically under the Haojing City. The Quanrong occupied the advantage of the city, and all the princes suffered heavy losses.
However, after all, the princes had a large number of people, and although the losses were heavy, they were within the range they could bear. Quanrong had only about 200,000 troops in Haojing.
After a long battle, even if the losses were small, there were only more than 100,000 horses left, and everyone was damaged and injured.
Although the losses were so heavy, the senior officials of Quanrong did not look sad at all, but felt a sense of joy.
As the altar gathered endless evil energy, people outside the city finally discovered the clues. A monk from Shen Kingdom reported to the king.
"Your Majesty, in Haojing, there is a high platform made of corpses. It emits a scarlet blood-evil energy every day. I'm afraid Quanrong is casting some evil spell!" A monk said respectfully.
Lord Shen is just an ordinary person and doesn't know what these phenomena mean.
However, Quan Rong was indeed a little unusual this time. He occupied Haojing and was unwilling to retreat. Quan Rong could not help but understand that the princes of the world would not let him occupy the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
Both sides fought fiercely, killing and wounding countless soldiers. Even though Quanrong had his back to the city and suffered slightly smaller losses, he still paid a sufficient price to protect Haojing.
The wealth in Haojing has long been plundered by the Quanrong. Now they are unwilling to give up Haojing despite huge casualties.
Such an abnormal move has long caused quite a controversy among the coalition of princes. Now the monks of Shen State have discovered a high platform in the city. No matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing.
Marquis Shen didn't know why, so he looked at the Shen State Priest aside and asked, "Great Priest, what do you think this is?"
Although the great priest of the Shen Kingdom is not a person with great magical powers, he still has some insight as the head of a country's priests.
Just listening to the description of the monk's report below, I also knew that it was not a good thing. The high priest thought about it and replied: "I haven't seen the details, so I don't know what it is. But I think it has a lot to do with the dog soldiers fighting to the death and not retreating."
The high priest then continued: "It is better to send people to invite the sacrifices from all countries, and jointly check it out, and then make a decision!"
Marquis Shen thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. This situation was obviously not something that his country could handle.
Marquis Shen hurriedly sent envoys to inform the princes' camps. He followed the great sacrifice and walked outside the camp.
After receiving the notice, all the princes did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly brought their own sacrifices to join Shen Hou.
Everyone stood on a mountain of piled earth and looked into the city of Haojing. As expected, there was a high platform in the city, exuding endless scarlet aura.
When everyone saw it, their eyes were solemn. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened in the city.
The priest of Zhen State spoke at this time: "Look at this situation, there is a large formation that is constantly gathering blood evil energy. It should have been operating for some time, but I am afraid that there is an formation blocking it, so we are not aware of it."
"Now the evil spirit of blood is rising into the sky, and it is already visible to the naked eye. There must be too much evil energy gathered, and it has reached a situation where even the formation cannot cover it up, so it was only noticed by us!"
Upon hearing this, all the priests also nodded, agreeing with what the priest of Zan Kingdom said. Since they couldn't cover it up even in the formation, I'm afraid it has been a while.
Although judging from this situation, I don’t know what Quanrong is doing. But since it is done by the enemy, it must not be a good thing for everyone!
