Chapter 439: 439
Not all men of sacrifice had the same strength . It differed by the state of the person when they were alive .
It was difficult for those in higher states to become men of sacrifice, but once they succeeded, they would be more powerful .
Jiang Chen's scream woke the crowd up, causing them to hurriedly run back . The passages built between the mountain walls were only fifteen feet wide . It was crowded with people, some even almost falling .
When they had finally gone back to the entrance, a Celestial Dragon Gate suddenly appeared and blocked their way . No one could leave .
"Spirits of the brave departed, please revive the supreme authority of the Dragon Dynasty!"
Su Xing opened his arms . With his call, the iron chains fixed on the mountain walls started to shake violently, and the iron handrails of the cages emitted a mysterious red radiance .
Not until then did people notice the handrails were carved with small, tadpole-like characters .
Each character contained a stunning power . The mountain was shaking, as if its narrow interior couldn't handle the power anymore . The wooden passage under people's feet was cracking .
Fortunately, the situation didn't worsen . The mummies in the cages started to move .
There were seven of them, as artificial as wax figures . They didn't even have eye balls, and they were so bony that they looked like skeleton demons .
However, the fragile-looking bodies contained a power impossible for those present to defend against .
Murong Long managed to stay calm . He asked in a low voice, "Su Xing, you planned all of this?"
"Information is more important than anything else . You knew nothing about the secret treasure . You deserved to be schemed against . " Su Xing stopped hiding himself anymore . His evilness was impressive, his look cold and emotionless .
"What do you want to do? Kill all of us?" asked Murong Long .
Many people looked towards Su Xing nervously .
Because of their greed, they had put their lives in Su Xing's hands .
"The Evil Cloud Palace only has one enemy—the Hero Palace . " Su Xing glanced at the crowd coldly . The two teams from the Hero Palace immediately felt extremely pressured .
Other people tried to stay away from them so that they wouldn't be associated with them .
"And the Hero Palace's allies," Su Xing went on .
It dawned on the people what Su Xing wanted . He wanted them to pledge their loyalty to him .
"We would like to join the Evil Cloud Palace . "
"Apprentice Brother Su Xing, please let the innocents go . "
"Yeah . We have nothing to do with the Hero Palace . "
Many people hurried to air their opinions without any hesitation, afraid they would lag behind the others .
"So, where's your proof of allegiance?" Su Xing said coldly .
These people turned ashen . Looking towards those from the Hero Palace, they were very clear on what "proof of allegiance" meant .
How cruel, Jiang Chen thought to himself . He had sensed that Su Xing wasn't simple when the latter had directed the others to establish the lines of defense, but not until he himself became a victim did he realize how vicious the guy was .
Yet he didn't act on impulse . Even if the sky collapsed, there were taller ones to support it .
Li Nanxing stayed calm, observing the others' reactions .
"We'll remain neutral," said Murong Long .
"You wish . You have to kill Li Nanxing," Su Xing said immediately, as if he had anticipated Murong Long's answer .
"The Evil Cloud Palace is as cruel as expected . "
Laughing coldly, Murong Long came up to Li Nanxing . He said, "I'll fight with Li Nanxing to defeat you!"
"Stop being so arrogant . That's silly . " Su Xing shook his head sarcastically .
"The seven men in the cages were the seven great pioneers of the Dragon Rebel Army during the Dragon Rebellion . Each of them was at the peak of the Venerable stage . Although as men of sacrifice, their strength has been weakened, they're still Venerables . "
As soon as he finished speaking, the cages opened . The seven pioneers stood in the air, regardless of the tactical formation deployed there .
"Any of the men of sacrifice could kill all of you! Murong Long, I'll give you another chance . Choose wisely this time!"
