Dalinfu City.
From a distance, the city looked like a great fire burning on the plains, as it was a sea of crimson from one end to the other.
Wang Ping entered the city from the south. A large sacrificial ceremony was underway on both sides of the straight road leading from the city gate. The object of worship was none other than the True Yang Sect's Lieyang True Monarch.
Below the altar stood the members of a clan, and the one presiding over the ceremony was even an Entering Cultivator. He was chanting a prayer of worship. Wang Ping couldn't understand a word of it, but he could read from the Cultivator's soul that he was beseeching the True Monarch to bless the nobles present.
Passing commoners also took part, grabbing free incense and candles from the roadside, lighting them, and walking over to say a few auspicious words or pray for a bit of good luck.
