The man in black robe slowly woke up, his eyes still a little confused.
But soon, his eyes became dull, like a puppet without a soul.
"Okay, now you can ask."
Li Xiaoyu stood up and said to Zeng Shushu.
Zeng Shushu looked at this magical scene in front of him and marveled.
He walked up to the man in black robe, cleared his throat, and began his interrogation.
"What's your name? What's your position at the Styx Sect?"
"My name is Wu Yong, and I am the outer guardian of the Styx Sect."
The man in black robe, that is, Wu Yong, answered Zeng Shushu's question in a dull and mechanical voice.
"What is the purpose of your Styx Sect coming to Wind-Snow City this time?"
"Our purpose is to use the huge resentment of Ancient Battlefield here to open Nether Gate."
Wu Yong's words caused a drastic change in the expressions of everyone present.
Turn on Nether Gate!
Sure enough, Zeng Shushu guessed it correctly!
Zeng Shushu was also shocked. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked when it happened.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he continued to ask, "What is Nether Gate? What will be the consequences after it is turned on?"
"Nether Gate is the channel connecting our world to the Nine Nether Ghost Realm."
"Once it is opened, endless ghosts and monsters will pour out of the passage."
"At that time, the entire Divine Land will turn into ghosts on earth."
Wu Yong's words made everyone feel a chill coming from their souls.
They couldn't imagine what the end of the world would be like.
"Where is your sect master now? How does he want to open Nether Gate?"
Li Xiaoyu also stepped forward and asked personally.
"The sect master is just above Blood Soul Altar, the core of Ancient Battlefield."
"He is using nine hundred and ninety-nine living souls and the fear of Wind-Snow City people as sacrifices."
"As long as the moon is full tonight and the Yin Qi reaches its peak, the crack connecting the two worlds can be completely torn open."
Wu Yong's words made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.
When the moon is full.
Isn't that tonight?!
They don't have time!
They must rush to Blood Soul Altar before the moon reaches the zenith tonight to stop Styx Sect Master's crazy move!
Otherwise, the whole world will be in ruins!
Li Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.
He glanced at the full moon that was gradually rising in the sky and no longer hesitated.
"Everyone, set off immediately!"
"Go to Blood Soul Altar at full speed!"
"Tonight, we will completely erase this Styx Sect from this world!"
As the night grew darker, a strange Blood Moon slowly climbed to the highest point in the sky.
The blood-colored moonlight, like a veil, covered the entire Ancient Battlefield, making this land full of death and resentment even more strange.
The people of Dawn Squad turned into streams of light, traveling rapidly across the desolate frozen soil.
Their faces were all filled with solemnity and anxiety.
They know they are racing against time.
With every delay, the catastrophe that could destroy the world would be one step closer to them.
Li Xiaoyu rushed to the front of the team, pushing his speed to the extreme.
The wind and snow whizzed past his ears, but his heart felt cold.
Li Xiaoyu's consciousness has long since spread out, covering a radius of dozens of miles, vigilantly detecting any disturbance in the surroundings.
The closer you get to the center of Ancient Battlefield, the stronger the resentment in the air becomes.
The resentment almost turned into a black mist, slowly flowing on the ground.
In the mist, twisted grimaces appeared from time to time, emitting silent wails, which made people shudder.
Finally, after passing through a Bone Forest made of countless bones.
Their eyes suddenly opened up.
A giant altar appeared in their sight.
The altar was built in a huge basin that was several miles in radius.
The entire altar is made of black rocks, is hundreds of feet high, and is circular in shape.
The surface of the altar is engraved with countless densely packed bloody runes.
Those runes, under the reflection of the bloody moonlight, seemed to come alive, slowly squirming, exuding a disgusting evil aura.
Around the altar, there are nine huge totem poles that are a hundred feet high.
On each totem pole, there are hundreds of corpses that have been drained of their essence and blood tied up with iron chains.
Those corpses, including men and women, old and young, are the innocent missing people in Wind-Snow City.
Their faces still retained the expression of extreme fear before they died, their eyes were wide open, and they refused to close their eyes.
And at the very top of the altar.
A tall figure wearing a black robe, whose face could not be seen clearly, was sitting cross-legged.
His hands were bound with an evil seal.
In front of him, a space crack that was dozens of feet long and as black as ink was slowly taking shape.
In the crack, the dark wind roared and ghosts cried and wolves howled.
Countless ghost hands stretched out from the cracks, as if they were trying to drag the world into the endless abyss.
And around that figure, there were dozens of the Styx Sect disciples also wearing black robes.
They hold all kinds of evil magic weapons and chant ancient mantras with enthusiasm to protect their lord.
Here is the ultimate goal of the Styx Sect.
Blood Soul Altar!
Everyone in Dawn Squad looked at the hellish scene in front of them, and their eyes were filled with blazing anger.
Especially those young disciples of Morning Sun Peak, they have never seen such a tragic scene.
Their bodies were shaking violently with anger.
"Beast!"
Chu Yuhong looked at the innocent people tied to the totem poles and let out a roar of grief and anger.
The Shaoyang Immortal Sword in his hand burst out with unprecedented brilliance.
"Kill them! Revenge those innocent people!"
"Kill!"
All the team members, at this moment, burst out with the most primitive killing intent.
They could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts, and they sacrificed their magic weapons one after another, and rushed towards the altar.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu's cold and rational voice stopped them in time.
After everyone heard this, they all suppressed the impulse in their hearts and looked at their captain.
"Don't let anger get to your head."
Li Xiaoyu looked at them with a cold voice.
"Look around that altar."
After everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked around the altar.
I saw that on the seemingly empty black land, there were countless looming White Bone Banner poles.
Above those flags, there was a ghostly atmosphere, forming a huge Ghost Maze Array that enveloped the entire altar.
If they had rushed over rashly just now, they would have definitely fallen into the ghost formation. By then, not to mention destroying the altar, they might not even be able to save their own lives.
What a vicious trap!
A sense of fear arose in everyone's hearts.
Only then did they realize that they had almost made a fatal mistake because of their impulsiveness.
They all looked at their captain with grateful eyes.
If it hadn't been for the captain's timely reminder, the consequences would have been disastrous.
