asked, holding up the invitation.The gatekeeper glanced at the invitation in Xu Jialu's hand and said expressionlessly, "A one-star invitation You can't get in with that.""There's no one else out her..."One more minute." Fang Yu glanced at the time on his phone, then back at the stone platform ahead.

He felt that the ground before the stone platform emanated a faint trace of array power.

That location seems to have a small magic circle set up!

As the time neared ten o'clock, things grew increasingly quiet around.

As the countdown reached its final moments, almost everyone held their breath, save for the faint rustling of wind.

Soon, time came to ten o'clock.

"Whoosh!"

Above the platform, that is, above the heads of the representatives of the noble families, a burst of dazzling, multicolored light appeared.

Everyone looked up at the light in the sky, their eyes filled with excitement.

Fang Yu looked at the seven-colored glow, slightly frowning.

Light continuously radiated, and in its center, a graceful figure slowly coalesced.

Soon, the figure took shape, surrounded by a halo of seven colors.

As the rainbow light gradually faded, its true form slowly emerged.

Today's Qin Yao Shen Nü is wearing a white gauze gown. Her style and temperament are completely different from yesterday.

But her face was still veiled, only her eyes were visible.

Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, flowing in the wind.

"Greetings, to Lady Qin Yao!"The representatives from various prominent families below, including the Yuan family couple and the Fu family couple, all bowed their heads, clasped their hands together, and spoke in unison.

Their posture was very humble.

Qin Yao, the Goddess, floated in mid-air, just like a fairy who never touched the mortal world. Her eyes were hazy and scanned the crowd below without any emotion.

Then, she noticed that among the crowd, only Fang Yu and Bai Ran were not bowing their heads.

The two of them stared straight at her.

Qin Yao, the Goddess of the Strings, slightly frowned her delicate eyebrows, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Thank you, esteemed donors, for attending today's grand sacrificial ceremony," the melodious voice of the Qinyin Goddess rang out.

Only then did the representatives of the prominent families below raise their heads.

"Next, the sacrificial ceremony will officially begin," said Qinyáo, the Goddess of Music.

No sooner had she spoken than she raised her right hand and made a gentle sweep forward.

From beneath her sleeves, tiny points of light scattered and drifted downwards.

A starlight-like glow fell upon the stone platform below, seemingly triggering some kind of mechanism. It suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light!

Many people turned their heads away, to avoid being blinded by the intense light.

But at this time, Fang Yu was staring intently at the stone platform ahead.

He clearly saw that within the radiance, a shadow was slowly enlarging!

After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the phantom transformed into a solid being!

A statue of a human form!

“This is… the humanoid statue on top of Sand God Temple that I saw yesterday with my Insightful Eye…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, he thought to himself.

But the statue before me is different from the one I saw yesterday.

The statue I saw yesterday had its head covered by a black cloth.

But the statue before me has no obstruction on its head.

This is an ordinary male face.

He raised both hands, palms together, forming some kind of complex gesture.

This, Fang Yu had noticed yesterday, but he hadn't studied it carefully.

And recently, seeing the statue again, Fang Yu became very interested in this gesture.

"This gesture...seems to be chanting incantations But what's the point of sculpting it like this" Fang Yu frowned.

The statue appeared, causing a stir of awe among the onlookers from afar.

Such a large statue, just appearing out of thin air.

Such a scene would be shocking enough for most people.

"Please, generous patrons, offer your alms."

In the midst of the air, the Celestial Maiden Qinyáo spoke again.

Offeringsderably more since before.At least now, it looks like it has taken shape, with a nose, eyes, and mouth."Master..."The Heavenly Dao Sword Spirit shouted again.Its voice was very childish, like a baby w...
