That night, a group of people appeared in a mountain col not far from Jingting Mountain.
They were dressed in black robes, with their mouths and noses covered by a black scarf, and only a pair of shining eyes were exposed on their faces.
These people move about in a sneaky way, specializing in unguarded mountain paths and speeding along, as if they are very familiar with this place.
After a day and night of trekking, they arrived at Maoshiling, fifty miles away from Jingting Mountain, and entered a palace.
This is a magnificent stone palace, about ten meters high, with a pointed roof and wide eaves. The eaves are engraved with fish patterns, and the stone walls are mottled and blurred dark red murals.
Compared with the scenery in the mountains, it seems to be from another world.
Forest-white stone pillars stand in front of the hall, and bird-face sculptures as tall as one person guard both sides.
Further forward is a dark corridor that seems to be invisible and leads to the interior of the palace.
It was evening, and the last ray of light had disappeared from the sky after the sun had set.
The night in the mountains comes quickly, and as soon as the time comes, the darkness hidden in every corner will come in like a tide, filling the place as much as possible.
In the shadow of the mountains and surrounded by mountains and forests, this tall building has become dark and cold, making people feel chills on their backs just by looking at it.
But these men in black robes seem to be very adapted to the environment here.
After entering the palace area, these people puffed up their chests.
More than ten people lined up in two neat rows, surrounding an iron cage car in the middle and walked into the gate.
After walking through the corridor, everyone entered a hall.
Orchid flames were burning in the braziers around the hall, and a man sat on the throne facing the door.
A young man with lowered eyebrows, holding his chin with one hand, making a lazy look.
After entering the hall, everyone bowed their heads and knelt down.
"Lord Altar Master," said a small leader, "Fortunately, my subordinates did not disgrace their orders and brought the target back. Sir, please take a look."
After saying this, the little boss asked his two men to lift the black cloth covering the top of the iron cage.
But what was locked in the cage at this moment was actually a naked girl.
Her skin was pale and bloodless, and she was curled up and lying at the bottom of the iron cage.
After doing all this, the two knelt down again.
Their upper bodies were lying on the ground, not daring to make any overstep.
From beginning to end, no one dared to look up at the hall.
Even when they were kneeling and lying down, they always felt that there was an extremely terrifying sight looking back and forth on them.
It's like a needle pricking, like a sword blade, as if just raising your head will lead you to a place of eternal doom.
After a while, a reply came slowly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Einstein."
As soon as the man finished speaking, these people felt that the pressure lingering in their hearts was relieved.
"No, no, no, it is my greatest honor to fight for you." The little boss replied.
"Look up, you are all heroes of the Blood Altar."
"yes……"
"Is this the prey I want?"
"Sir, this is the real deal. We found her in a human cell. Even though she looks like this, she is definitely still alive. Please take a look." The little boss smiled and patted the cage. As expected, the girl's limbs in the cage Then he moved a few times, as if looking for a more comfortable sleeping position.
The footsteps of "Tata Ta" sounded, and the man walked down from the throne and came to the iron cage.
The men hurriedly opened a passage and gathered around timidly.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The girl suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes.
Behind the man, the little leader An Sitan stabbed the man in the back with lightning speed with a sharp knife!
So close that it couldn’t be any closer! Almost no one can escape!
But just when the tip of the knife was only a few millimeters away from the target, a man's hand with slender knuckles suddenly appeared!
Two white and tender fingers gently pinched the blade, and it was difficult for the knife to move forward at all.
The next moment, the tip of the knife was broken, flew out upside down with a "clop", and inserted into Einstein's heart. The latter fell straight down.
But this is not just an accident.
Around the man, the remaining ten men in black robes had completely surrounded him.
They held various weapons and took action immediately after Anstein was killed.
Three hundred and sixty degrees of attacks at the same time, hitting the young man's vitals with all his moves!
"Zila——"
The tip of the knife scratched the man's clothes.
"Stab-"
The ax struck the man in the shoulder.
"Click——"
The mace first hit the man's leg, and then hit the ground heavily.
Spider web-like cracks were carved into the granite floor.
But then the man's body disappeared.
Like smoke blown away by a gust of wind.
The next moment, he reappeared outside the encirclement, completely unharmed, holding a thin sword in his hand.
He raised his sword and stabbed straight, each sword hitting a person's vital point, and every step he took was like walking among flowers.
One sword kills one person, one step kills one person.
In just the blink of an eye, dead bodies were lying in front of the iron cage, dripping with blood.
At this time, the iron cage had broken into pieces, and the girl in the cage jumped high dexterously,
Catching him, his old strength has been exhausted and his new strength has not yet been born,
The easiest opportunity for others to take advantage of,
Attack him extremely quickly!
No one can underestimate the fifth-level corpse king's full blow!
But the result was a loud bang.
Blue eyes suddenly lit up, and the man struck with his left hand that was not holding a sword.
With just one punch, this guy was knocked away hard!
She flew all the way to the stone wall on the other side, and the huge force cracked the entire stone wall, almost shattering her.
This time she fell into a real coma. To be precise, her body fell into a state of suspended animation to protect itself in an endangered situation.
"Such an attack is quite interesting."
The man smiled and shook his head, turned around and walked towards the throne.
Behind him, thirty or forty men in black robes walked in from the corner of the hall.
They silently carried away all the corpses and wiped the blood-stained red floor until it was shiny.
Several more people carrying red sticks escorted Xing Lili away, and a man who looked like a leader stepped forward and knelt at the man's feet.
"Sir, you are shocked. This guy will be guarded by our Eighteen Red Sticks. Our subordinates will never allow them to make the same mistakes as those idiots again."
At this moment, a young man in blue clothes walked out of the darkness. He seemed to be deliberately mocking the man carrying a red stick.
"Akainu, those guys whose minds were controlled by the Corpse King are your subordinates.
A few bug-like guys have offended the altar owner's holy power. Don't you think you should die to apologize? "
"Lan Ling, don't make sarcastic remarks here. That is the fifth-level corpse king, and it is an enhanced species formed by rare mutations! Besides, my people are already dead, so you have to keep your mouth shut!"
The young man known as Lan Ling has a feminine appearance and a soft-spoken tone.
"How dare you protect those sinners who attacked the altar master. Akainu, you simply deserve death!
Sir, I think it is safer to leave the Corpse King to my people to take care of him.
As for Protector Chi, he also asked the adults to give him a "little punishment" to show his severity. "
"Lan Ling, you..."
The man sitting on the main seat watched with interest as the two people kneeling below bickered with each other.
When the two people were almost arguing, he said:
"Okay, Protector Red has the full authority to handle the custody matter. Protector Blue, how is the matter I want you to investigate?"
Lan Ling hurriedly replied respectfully: "To tell you my Lord, I have led people in disguise to visit all the bases in Dongshan Province in the past few days, and I have not found any trace of the black-armored protector..."
"Um?"
The man on the main seat let out a light sigh, but it scared Lan Ling to death.
He hurriedly explained: "But the place where the black armor protector last appeared was Qingshi, which is now the territory of a new large force called Langya City..."
"Oh? A new large force?"
"Yes, that hateful Liang Jingsheng is still alive and is now a partner of Langya City. My subordinates believe that the people in Langya City have serious suspicions about the disappearance of the black-armored protector!"
"Very good. Protector Lan, you have to continue investigating this matter. I hope that when I see you next time, you have brought me the answer I want."
"Yes." Beads of sweat rolled down Lan Ling's face. In that moment of terrifying pressure, even he who had entered the fifth level couldn't help but feel his liver and gallbladder bursting.
"Don't worry, Sir. The Thirty-Six Patrolmen under me will do things cleanly and will never do stupid things like Akainu's people!"
"Um."
"It's just, sir... look at that woman Liang Jingsheng..."
"She? She's just a disabled person with abilities. Let's wait until this matter is over."
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay, you all go down."
"Yes." "Yes, I am resigning."
After everyone left, the dark hall seemed to fall into absolute silence.
The man walked step by step to the center of the hall and stopped next to a huge pool of blood ten meters square.
The water in the pool is like boiling water, with bright red bubbles appearing from time to time.
The moment before the bubble rapidly expanded and burst, a young face was reflected on the smooth curved surface.
"My good brother, where are you hiding now?"
