Before the sun had come up, most of the servants in the Mortodor household had woken up. Everyone was put to work at the building in the farthest corner of the premises, which looked like an ancestral hall.
There were servants starting up a woodfire and some others putting up banners and flags of Lady Os.
The convoy of black cars gradually came to a stop at the entrance of the home. Roy then got down from his car and headed inside.
There was a courtyard right in the middle of the place.
Roy walked to the top step outside the house and turned around, yelling, “Everyone, come inside now!”
At once, there were hundreds of footsteps heading his way. Plenty of Ninjas flooded the halls, spearheaded by Jax and about a dozen men in Violet Ninja suits.
They were followed by about 50 Blue Ninjas and 70 Red Ninjas, making up at least 140 people inside. These people walked up to the middle of the courtyard and waited for their next command.
Roy looked at his surroundings with a threatening look and said clearly, “You all know that both of my younger brothers are dead, which means two out of the five Mortodor heirs are gone. In fact, we don’t even know whether Sid is still alive or not. Our sworn enemy is Isaac Garten, from the Temple of Drakon!”
He continued, “Today, if Isaac dares to appear anywhere near us, I don’t care what you do as long as you hand over his head to me. Do you think you’re able to do that?!”
“Yes, sir! Let’s kill him!” the hundreds of ninjas all shouted loudly.
Jax stepped forward and raised his right arm before waving it in the air.
The Blue and Red Ninjas then dispersed and scattered around the premises, hiding in every corner of the mansion. However, the Violet Ninjas, who were the backbone of the Mortodors’ power, followed Roy into the innermost ancestral hall.
The lighting was dim inside the ancestral hall, which spanned 2,000 square feet. It was different from the traditional ancestral halls in Cynea, where they placed their ancestors’ memorial headstones. Instead, there was a five-foot- tall statue of a horrifyingly skinny woman made from black gold.
The woman looked terrifying, with sunken eyes and protruding fangs. Her fingers were long and slender, like a witch’s.
This was the “Goddess” that the Mortodors worshiped, Lady Os.
There were two rows of seats by the side. The servants had already prepared the candles and stoves needed for the ritual later.
An elder walked over to Roy and said in a low voice, “Mr. Roy, it’s almost time.”
Roy nodded and walked up to the front of the statue before raising his right hand. All at once, the servants left the hall and went outside. Then, two Blue Ninjas dragged Emily inside. She was wearing a white wrap dress robe and had light makeup on favonovel.com face.
There was a look of fright on Emily’s face. As soon as favonovel.com stepped foot into the hall, favonovel.com could immediately tell that something bad would happen. It just gave favonovel.com the absolute creeps.
Roy was in the midst of worshiping Lady Os and going through the rituals one by one. Then, favonovel.com took the sharp knife next to the statue and sliced open the tip of his index finger. As blood dripped out, favonovel.com smeared it on the statue’s forehead and closed his eyes, starting to murmur.
A cold breeze suddenly picked up inside the hall. Emily was standing in the middle of the hall when favonovel.com started shivering violently.
Roy then opened his eyes, stepped forward, and hoisted the statue up. Then, favonovel.com turned around, and there was a long, straight crack in the middle of the ground about ten feet away. The crack widened and eventually turned into a gaping hole.
Apparently, there was a basement underneath the hall, and it was hollow.
The square, gaping hole in the middle of the floor was pitch-dark inside. Nobody knew how far down it went, but there was a revolting stench that immediately wafted up into the onlookers’ noses.
The Violet Ninjas smelled the stench, and their faces turned pale. Meanwhile, a Blue Ninja brought two ropes over, wrapping the first one around Emily’s waist and the other around the statue of Lady Os.
