Hao Ren could not be certain whether these heretics performing the evil ritual were truly the masterminds behind the recent anomalies in the Beinz Region, but their appearance at such a sensitive location at such a sensitive time already proved that they were inextricably linked to the changes in the Dragon Ridge Mountains. Besides, even without that connection, he could not simply stand by and watch them perform a human sacrifice, could he?
Hao Ren had been concealing his presence with Nangong May's water mist, while the heretics in the stone chamber were completely absorbed in the ritual and had not noticed anything around them. When he suddenly sprang out, almost everyone at the scene was left bewildered. It was not until the Data Terminal smashed the masked man flying that the black-robed monsters came to their senses. Someone immediately shouted, "Heretic! A heretic has broken into the sanctuary!"
The cultists immediately swarmed him. No one knew where they had drawn them from, but all sorts of sabers, short swords, clubs, hooks, and claws appeared in their hands. In an instant, they had transformed from cultists into weapon-wielding warriors. Hao Ren stared in bewilderment. How had he failed to notice that these people could hide so much beneath their robes? Swords, clubs, and the like were understandable, but how could someone pull out two meteor hammers?
Hao Ren immediately stopped taking things lightly. He was deeply concerned that even his Rigid Shield might not be able to withstand these heretics with their four-dimensional chrysanthemums suddenly pulling out something even stranger from their bodies...
The scene quickly descended into chaos. The black-robed cultists had initially looked so flustered that they seemed like an undisciplined rabble, but after clashing with them, Hao Ren discovered that most of them were genuine professional warriors
