Chapter 197: Eternal Hero
The Blood Embers Butterfly Emperor slowly extended his finger and pointed. Ling Xiao's pupils couldn't help but dilate.
The rich expression on his face gradually calmed down.
It was obvious that Ling Xiao had lost his consciousness.
"Ling Xiao, what exactly is the Holy Alliance planning? Tell us everything you know!"
Hearing Lin Ze's question, Ling Xiao also answered mechanically: "Long Haochen's spirit beast partner can devour the energy in the Demon Pillar and complete its evolution. For this reason, the Holy Alliance has decided that before the Demon Emperor Fengxiu becomes a god, humans will take the initiative to start a holy war!"
"But before that, Long Haochen's spirit beast partner needs to evolve to a complete state. To this end, the Holy Alliance uses the Temple Competition to cover up the attention of the demons. At the same time, it arranges two Title-level Demon Hunting Groups to assist Long Haochen in devouring the weak Demon Pillars outside the demon territory!"
"This time the target is the last ten of the seventy-two Demon Pillars!"
"At the same time, in order to withstand the wrath of the Demon Emperor Fengxiu, the leader has awakened the sixty-three eternal heroes sleeping in the Holy Mountain of Knights, ready to fight a desperate battle with the demons!"
Lin Ze frowned slightly and said: "What are eternal heroes?"
"They are the eternal heroes of the Knights' Holy Mountain. They are all Ninth-Rank powerhouses who perished in the great war with the demons thousands of years ago and were later resurrected using the Super Undead Forbidden Spell Scroll of the Holy Necromancer Ilex. There are sixty-three of them in total, two at Ninth-Rank Seven, sixteen at Ninth-Rank Five and above, and the remaining are all at Ninth-Rank Three and above."
"And these two Ninth-Rank Seven veterans are the founders of the Knights' Temple and the Assassins' Temple, respectively."
"This is insane!" Bai Yue, standing nearby, was also shocked when she heard Ling Xiao's words!
She hadn't expected the Holy Alliance to have reached such a madness. She was also shocked that the Holy Alliance could actually hide such terrifying strength.
Sixty-three Ninth-Rank powerhouses, including two at Ninth-Rank Seven.
If a real battle breaks out, both the human and demon races will inevitably suffer heavy losses!
No, to be more precise, one race will inevitably be destroyed from this world.
The Holy Alliance has gone to such lengths, and they must be determined to fight to the death.
This battle!
Either the human race will be destroyed, or the demon race will be wiped out from the Holy Demon Continent!
And if, as Ling Xiao claimed, Long Haochen possessed the power to destroy the Demon Pillar, the Demon Clan would be doomed if defeated!
"Lin Ze, let's return quickly and tell Father this news."
Bai Yue understood the importance of this matter, and she had to stop Long Haochen. If Long Haochen truly acted, even though Feng Xiu was the Demon Emperor's grandson, Feng Xiu wouldn't let him go.
Responding to Bai Yue's warning, Lin Ze slowly asked, "Where is Sheng Cai'er?"
Ling Xiao mechanically replied, "Sheng Cai'er has been taken back to the Exorcist Pass by Sheng Yue. Upon learning that Sheng Cai'er was favored by the God of Death and possessed the legacy of the Holy Necromancer, the Undead Scourge Ilex, Shu Yongxiao offered his entire life's knowledge. She should be in the Exorcist Pass now, completing the trials Shu Yongxiao had arranged."
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Lin Ze exerted force, and Ling Xiao's head exploded like a watermelon, his body falling back into the pit.
Wang Yuanyuan, standing nearby, looked at Ling Xiao's corpse and collapsed to the ground. She had never imagined things would escalate to this point.
"You shouldn't have killed Palace Master Ling Xiao. If you had used him as a prisoner, you might have been able to leave the Holy City. If he wasn't lying, the experts within the Holy City have already locked onto your auras. If you were to emerge from the outside, you'd be instantly found by the higher-ups of the Holy Alliance."
"Even if you're incredibly powerful, you won't be able to stand up against fifty or sixty Ninth-Rank Experts," Wang Yuanyuan warned.
Bai Yue felt a chill in her heart upon hearing Wang Yuanyuan's words.
Seeing Bai Yue's eyes filled with self-blame, Lin Ze said, "Don't worry, Sister Yue."
Bai Yue was stunned by Lin Ze's words. Although she knew Lin Ze was powerful, facing sixty or seventy Ninth-Rank Experts simultaneously...
Seeing the hesitation in Bai Yue's eyes, Lin Ze didn't explain. Instead, he retrieved a ball of light emitting brilliant starlight from his storage space.
This ball of light was none other than the "Star Disc" containing the great prophetic power that the Star Demon God Vashak had gifted to Lin Ze upon his arrival in the Dream Paradise.
"I didn't think I'd need this," Lin Ze said as the ball of light in his hand suddenly erupted with dazzling light, instantly enveloping Lin Ze and Bai Yue in a giant disk.
This was a teleportation array. While Bai Yue and Wang Yuanyuan stared in surprise, Lin Ze looked at Wang Yuanyuan and said, "Wang Yuanyuan, when they ask you about your situation later, just tell them the truth. Also, please convey a message to the Holy Alliance leaders: they will regret this decision."
As Lin Ze finished his words, a burst of white light shone, and Lin Ze and Bai Yue vanished from Wang Yuanyuan's presence.
With Bai Yue's disappearance, her domain vanished as well.
Wang Yuanyuan and Ling Xiao's body were teleported out, landing on the grass in the park.
The moment Wang Yuanyuan appeared, dozens of terrifying pressures descended upon the area, including many powerful individuals Wang Yuanyuan didn't recognize.
These were the deceased "eternal heroes" that Ling Xiao had mentioned.
Wang Yuanyuan felt a surge of fear as she watched the crowd surrounding her.
The combined pressure of so many Ninth-Rank experts was so overwhelming that it made her breathless for a moment! It was almost difficult to breathe.
Yang Haohan, upon seeing the now-dead Ling Xiao, his gaze was icy cold.
He looked at Wang Yuanyuan and said, "Who did it?"
Wang Yuanyuan was so nervous she didn't know what to say, and her body trembled.
"Old Yang, what are you yelling about? Could it be that kid Yuanyuan who did it?"
At this moment, Qiu Yonghao, the late-arriving Warrior Temple Master, stepped forward and asked.
After all, Wang Yuanyuan was the most talented member of their Warrior Temple, and she bore the bloodline of the Giant Spirit God, so he would naturally take extra care of her.
"Hmph." Yang Haohan shook his sleeves and turned his back, realizing he had lost his composure.
But the inexplicable death of a Master was unbearable.
At this moment, Qiu Yonghao, the head of the Warrior Temple, also approached Wang Yuanyuan and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, Yuanyuan, everything's fine. What happened? Just tell me slowly."
After a long silence, Wang Yuanyuan slowly said, "It was Lin Ze and the Demon Emperor's eldest daughter, Bai Yue..."
Wang Yuanyuan slowly recounted the entire story in detail.
