Chapter 1174 The Truth of the Time-Reversing Ceremony
In the extremely dark square, the sudden flash of lightning revealed a calm face. It was Lei Xiao.
"?!"
Feeling the strong pressure and murderous aura coming from behind, the black-robed man No. 19 was so frightened that he wanted to fly out and create some distance between himself and the other person.
However, before he could make a move, there was a loud "bang" and a flash of thunder. He and the skeleton staff turned into a lifeless charcoal on the ground, with thick smoke billowing around them.
Seeing this sudden scene, the sneers that had not yet dissipated from the corners of the mouths of the other brotherhood strongmen around them suddenly froze, and their eyeballs bulged out, with a look of disbelief.
But before they could react, figures emitting majestic aura descended from the sky and stood in front of them like giant peaks.
Screams of fear rang out, accompanied by one vast energy wave after another. Soon these strong men of the Brotherhood were torn into pieces like rag bags. Their crooked heads fell to the ground, leaving only a pair of frightened turbid eyes that were slowly expanding.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time the trembling lords came to their senses, those powerful brotherhood warriors who were once like demons had been wiped out and fell in a pool of blood.
"this……?!"
The lords had never seen such a bloody and horrific scene. Their faces turned pale and they huddled together.
Especially under the influence of the vast momentum, many lords even sat down on the ground, struggling to get up.
Until an excited voice sounded: "Boss Xiaoshen, it's Boss Xiaoshen!"
Li Fan struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, his sallow face full of excitement, and shouted: "It's Boss Xiaoshen who came to save us!"
As Lei Xiao's reputation spread throughout the human countries, Li Fan, as a member of the Xiaoshen Group, had naturally seen Lei Xiao's appearance from the magic portrait a long time ago.
"It's really Boss Xiaoshen! Boss Xiaoshen is here to save us!"
Hearing Li Fan's shout, the other members of the Warriors also crowded to the front. Their malnourished, skinny faces were filled with ecstasy and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
"Thank you very much, Boss Xiaoshen! Thank you very much, Boss Xiaoshen!"
At this point, the crowd of lords burst into cheers again and again. Many lords, having survived the disaster, cried for joy and continued to express their gratitude and respect to Lei Xiao.
"I'm glad you're all okay. As long as I'm here, no one can threaten you in the slightest."
Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown as he looked at those excited yet weather-beaten faces, as well as the dim blood-red magic circle still remaining on the ground.
If I had arrived a step later, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.
Lei Xiao ordered Jiang Xi to break the blood-red magic circle on the ground, while he focused his attention on the red objects that were still wriggling behind the lords.
Although Lei Xiao didn't know what those things were, the fishy smell and strange energy fluctuations that kept pouring into his nostrils showed that they were obviously disgusting and evil things.
"Hong Ye, burn all those red things into nothingness immediately."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and gave instructions to the dragon woman beside him.
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye was surrounded by flames and flew away at a high speed. Under Lei Xiao's orders, Hu Zhang and others took the lords aside to rest.
After the blood-red magic circle and those disgusting evil creatures turned into ashes, Lei Xiao walked towards the group of lords again.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao looked at the lords in tattered clothes, and waved his hand casually. A large amount of food, water and other daily supplies appeared. The pale and skinny lords kept swallowing their saliva, with eager expressions on their faces.
After instructing his subordinates such as Tiger Stick to distribute the supplies, Lei Xiao then spoke again: "Who can tell me what happened here?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's question, the crowd immediately responded enthusiastically, and several members of the Xiaoshen Group were immediately elected.
"Boss Xiaoshen, my name is Li Fan, and I am the officer of Xiaoshen Regiment No. 24."
The leading male lord held the soft meat floss bread and orange juice, and said with gratitude: "Thank you again for saving me, Boss Xiaoshen!"
After saying that, Li Fan and several other members of the Warriors Group knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude.
When the other lords saw this scene, they all made the same action, causing lines of hot tears to drip onto the delicious food they had just received.
"Hurry up and get up. Your strength and perseverance are the source of your rescue. I am just going with the flow."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped Li Fan up, smiling slightly.
"Master Xiaoshen, it is such an honor to be a member of the Xiaoshen Group."
Although he was excited, Li Fan tried to calm himself down as much as possible and described to Lei Xiao in detail what he had experienced.
Listening to Li Fan's narration, not only Lei Xiao's expression became more solemn, but even Catherine, Louise and others beside him, as well as the stone elves, opened their eyes wide with expressions of surprise.
"So this is the truth behind the "Reverse Time Ceremony"? I never thought that the servants who were just summoned and haven't even seen their masters yet would directly become nutrients for those evil creatures."
After listening to Li Fan's description, veins faintly appeared on Lei Xiao's forehead.
"That's right, Boss Xiongshen. Many of my fellow lords even went crazy because they couldn't accept this. They soon became part of the nutrients."
Li Fan kneaded the soft bread into a hard dough, his body trembling continuously: "And we have lingered until today."
"It is because you are still here that I can learn the truth of the matter."
Lei Xiao nodded to Li Fan and other lords, and said seriously: "And the truth you tell will also become part of the road to victory for all of us. This will save more innocent people. They all saved their lives because of you."
After comforting Li Fan and other lords, Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly.
Although I had thought of many kinds of "time-reversal rituals", I had never expected such a cruel and brutal result.
"So those damned 'rebels' were hatched from these disgusting red pupae?"
Louise frowned, her face full of anger as she said, "The other party really did everything they could."
"This is even worse than the most disgusting forbidden magic."
Catherine also frowned, and soon a trace of doubt appeared on her fair face. She said, "How can it be possible that so many "rebels" are produced every day just by relying on the thousands of 2nd-level subordinates summoned by thousands of lords every day?"
"I'm afraid they rely not only on the slaves, but also on the extra energy generated when summoning the slaves."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then explained: "When the lords use the recruitment order to summon subordinates, a golden portal will appear. I'm afraid that is the key energy used by the other party."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that mysterious being could actually utilize this kind of power. It is indeed unfathomable."
Catherine nodded thoughtfully, her face becoming more solemn.
"But Lord, before these lords were kept in captivity, how did they produce the "rebels"? For example, the group we met at the beginning?"
Yuji looked puzzled and asked Lei Xiao.
"Remember those believers who disappeared inexplicably in various places in the Kingdom of Grimm?"
Lei Xiao frowned and responded, "It's probably because the efficiency of converting the believers into "rebels" is too low, so the other party finally set their sights on the lords."
"Your Highness, are you saying that those people from the missing Grim Kingdom have all become victims of this forbidden technique?!"
Upon hearing this, generals such as White, who had just arrived, looked at each other with pale faces.
They had investigated all this in secret many times, but due to the obstruction of the Grimm royal family, nothing was done in the end.
Although I don't want to believe it, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the only answer.
In addition to being filled with grief and anger, these Grimm generals clenched their fists until they made a crackling sound, and their hatred for their opponents increased a little bit.
"I have to say, those seemingly righteous bastards are simply despicable."
Louise nodded heavily, and then asked with a puzzled look on her face: "By the way, how did the other party use these disgusting red objects to produce "rebels"? "
"Although I don't know the other party's specific steps, I can be sure that the life source of those "rebels" must be involved."
Wu's expression was solemn, and he said, "It was by using the origin of life as a foundation that the opponent was able to reshape the bodies of the "rebels."
"Your Excellency is right. For three thousand years, the Temple of Light has always been at the forefront of the fight against evil and taboos. This is undeniable."
White's old face was full of complicated expressions. He shook his head helplessly and said, "If it is the Temple of Light, it can indeed easily obtain the life essence of a large number of dark warriors."
"Then it makes perfect sense. The Holy Temple of Light must have collected the essence of life just to prevent those evil spirits from reappearing in the world. But unexpectedly, it became a weapon used by that mysterious being."
Seeing that the lords had stabilized, Lei Xiao nodded to everyone and said, "Let's continue searching here to see if there are any other clues."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the strong men nodded in agreement and began to act separately.
Lei Xiao returned to the lords and told them that he would arrange White and other soldiers to protect them, and would find a way to get the lords to leave as soon as possible.
There are many lords in the Warrior Corps who have various talents in moving territories, such as Lin Chuan and others. It is obviously not a problem to let them transfer these lords.
As for the curses these lords carried, Lei Xiao already knew about them.
However, the lords are obviously not like Xiao Jie who can resist with their own strength, so it is difficult to completely break them with Lei Xiao's divine power alone.
However, as long as the mysterious culprit can be successfully eliminated, everything will naturally be solved.
After receiving Lei Xiao's comfort, the lords all calmed down and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Lei Xiao again.
Although Lei Xiao kept smiling in response to the lords' thanks, he was still feeling gloomy in his heart.
Although the truth behind the "Reverse Time Ceremony" was discovered, the lords trapped here were rescued, and the other party's "Reverse Time Ceremony" was destroyed in one fell swoop, there are still two key problems that have not been solved.
First, there is still no trace of the 30 Legions of Heroes.
The second is that I haven't found a way to leave this underground city yet.
In addition, according to Lords such as Li Fan, there were at least nearly a hundred "rebels" born here, but the number we eliminated was limited.
This undoubtedly means that the other side still has a large number of top-level combat forces in their hands, which may pose a fatal threat to us at any time.
"The most important thing is that, given that the other party's "Sacred Plan" has been officially launched, I don't have much time left."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Hong Ye's slender figure flashed out, touched his chest and saluted, "Your Excellency, we have discovered a new passage ahead, but we don't know where it leads to. The Scarlet Queen has already gone to check it out."
"Very good. No matter where this leads to, we have no way out."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then said to Hong Ye, "Take me there quickly."
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye touched his chest and saluted, then sped to the front.
Under Hong Ye's guidance, Lei Xiao passed through the dark lord's town and flew straight to the end of the underground space.
During this process, Lei Xiao noticed.
There are also traces of energy from several unfamiliar teleportation arrays left here, all of which were closed not long ago.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the enemy on the other side of the magic circle was obviously keenly aware of our arrival, which is why they finally closed it.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, Lei Xiao's figure paused, and soon stopped in front of a new passage.
There is no metal gate blocking the way here, only a deep and dark entrance extending deep into the tunnel.
"Your Highness, the True Ancestor and I have checked and there are no traces of magic traps here."
Catherine, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave, stepped forward and nodded slightly, saying, "It's just at the other end of the passage..."
Catherine was halfway through her words when she said with a puzzled and puzzled look on her face: "Forget it, Your Highness, just read it yourself."
"I'll be in right now."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and took a step forward surrounded by the crowd.
Walking forward in the dark and damp passage, when Lei Xiao came to the end of the passage carrying the ancient dust, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
This is still an extremely vast dark space, and you can hardly see the end at a glance.
But surprisingly, everything here is upside down.
A majestic black castle hanging upside down on the top of the cave appeared in front of Lei Xiao like a huge and strange black bat.
