"Wait. You actually lost?" Bellamy's expression was a mix of shock and disbelief.
Lorenzo and the Divine Chief, Isaac Parker, shared the sstunned reaction. They knew how powerful Fressia was, and they even struggled to defeat her.
But now, she had lost to someone from Phaedra Island. It was almost unbelievable.
The crowd buzzed with excitement and murmurs.
At the stime, the people of Phaedra Island were informed about Sebastian's victory.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Flynn, good job!" Bradley laughed joyfully. He had never been this happy before.
"Mr. York is incredible!" The crowd cheered and was thrilled with the outcome.
However, not everyone was celebrating, particularly Jeremiah and Julian, who looked visibly distressed. Jeremiah gritted his teeth and glared venomously at Sebastian. He was once the top young talent in Phaedra Island. But now Sebastian had completely overshadowed him and left him feeling crushed.
To make matters worse, Sebastian had taken the woman he loved, including his fiancée, Cassandra. Hence, Jeremiah's anger toward Sebastian was overwhelming.
Julian's rage was off the charts. Sebastian had insulted him by repeatedly calling him an "old bastard" and publicly hugging Cassandra, which pushed Julian into a state of furious indignation. The leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects had gathered again.
"Congratulations to the patriarchs." Lorenzo stepped forward to offer his regards.
Even though they only secured third place, they still earned six spots, which was more than enough.
But Bellamy and Isaac weren't in a celebratory mood. Both of them fixed their gazes on Sebastian with a murderous intent.
Bellamy was especially displeased. He had aimed for first place but ended up with second.
That alone might not have been so infuriating, but Sebastian's public embrace of the Holy Maiden had been a direct affront to their church's authority.
As for Isaac, his mood was even worse. Not only had they finished last, but his grandson had also been injured. He was so angry he could barely hold back from cursing.
"Since the spots have been allocated, let's proceed with the blood ritual," Bellamy said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How does this blood ritual work?" Bradley asked, puzzled.
Lorenzo smiled and explained, "It's pretty simple. But it requires the Holy Spirit's blood." "Can you be more specific? What exactly is Holy Spirit blood?" Bradley pressed.
Lorenzo replied, "Holy Spirit blood comes from someone with a spiritual constitution, like a spor divine body. Ideally, it should be the virgin woman's d.
Lorenzo turned to Julian and said, "Mr. Lennon Senior, I've heard your bride has a spiritual body and is still a virgin. Would you mind if she provided a few drops of blood?" en "Sure. Bring her over," Julian ordered the nearby bridesmaid.
The bride was bound and gagged. She struggled the entire time, so the bridesmaid had to drag her over. "What do we do next?" Julian asked Lorenzo.
Lorenzo took out an emerald goblet. "Just cut her finger and squeeze out two drops of blood."
Julian pulled out a knife, rolled up the bride's sleeve, and was about to cut her finger when he suddenly froze. Even a kindergarten child knew that
a young woman's hand should be smooth and soft, but the hand he saw was dull and wrinkled. It was nothing like a young woman's hand. en Everyone around also noticed, and their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Wasn't the bride supposed to be in her early 20s? Why did her band look like it belonged to an old woman? Sebastian chuckled and teased, "Old bastard, it looks like your bride is aging prematurely."
