Here is the translated text:
Black Wind Ridge was adorned with lanterns and festive decorations, with Taoism's unique Yin Yang ornaments visible everywhere.
One grotesque Deceit Beast after another, their faces twisted in disgust, donned Daoist robes and carried two-foot horsetail whisks in hand, adding a hint of solemnity to the Sacrificial Festival.
"Wandering souls, where do you dwell? Graves and forests shrouded in strange mysteries. We now invite the Mountain God, the Generals of the Five Ways, the local land spirits, the household Stove Lord…"
"And once more, we bow in homage to the Ancestor Master!"
On either side of the street, the Deceit Beasts emitted heart-rending cries, their expressions growing increasingly fervent. Some even smashed their heads against the ground relentlessly.
After nearly a month of buildup, Black Wind Ridge now had only believers remaining.
The Sacrificial Festival proceeded in waves.
