Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1168 - 1107: Flame Cult Leader

"To deal with the God of Slaughter, the best battleground is our Sacred Land." The Chieftain Barbarian Saint said directly, sitting at the central seat of honor, "The strength of our ancestors, generations past, is infused into this sacred ground. Here, we possess greater power. To exact revenge on the God of Slaughter, we must lure him into our Sacred Land. We’ve already set up a Heavenly Net within the Sacred Land, with sentinels at every position. The formation and Heavenly Curtain Barrier are ready to activate at any time, just waiting for the God of Slaughter to take the bait."

"Indeed, only within the Sacred Land do we have absolute confidence against the God of Slaughter. It’s too difficult outside of it. The fate of the Great Elder Sarantu serves as a bloody lesson." The High Priest’s voice was somewhat resentful.

"Absolute confidence?" Huang Yi interjected with a slight frown, "The God of Slaughter has repeatedly survived impossible situations. Even if we lure him into the Sacred Land, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can kill him!"

"You need not worry about that." The Chieftain smiled mysteriously, "Once he enters our Sacred Land, no matter how powerful he is, he must perish. Furthermore, we have an unimaginably powerful ally. As long as the God of Slaughter dares to come, he is doomed!"

"What kind of ally?" Huang Yi asked curiously.

However, what appeared in his mind was the image of the Blood Demon he had just seen in the Eye of the Void.

"Ah, that. You’ll find out one day." The Chieftain and the High Priest exchanged a glance, choosing not to elaborate.

Huang Yi instantly understood. It seemed the involvement of the Half-Beastmen with the Demon Clan was even more secretive than he thought, not even disclosed to someone like the Ghost Crown Prince.

"We only need to consider one thing: how to lure the God of Slaughter into our Sacred Land!" The Barbarian Saint said, turning to Huang Yi, "Ghost Crown Prince, do you have any good ideas?"

"Well, let’s discuss it in tomorrow’s formal meeting! I’ll think about it more today." Huang Yi said vaguely, unable to share too much, lest he exposed himself.

...

Half an hour later, Huang Yi finally left the Holy Mountain. Being in the same space as the Chieftain and the High Priest in the Holy Temple had made him uneasy, and now that he was at the foot of the Holy Mountain, seeing the blue skies and white clouds again, his mood relaxed somewhat.

He now had evidence; at any time, he could go to the Oskan Royal Academy to report. But from the information he had just gathered, the Half-Beast Holy Land had already laid a Heavenly Net, just waiting for him to spring the trap.

He needed to be careful, to thoroughly investigate before moving to officially eradicate the Half-Beast Holy Land.

Following that, Huang Yi returned to the Sacred Land he shared with Xiao Chunzi.

Currently, that Sacred Land had become a territory of the Hero Empire, where ordinary people could not enter without permission; only the upper echelons of the Guild and those powerful Guardians could enter. The Semigod Guardians particularly appreciated this land, where the rich spiritual energy of nature reminded them of the era they once belonged to.

However, for Huang Yi, what attracted him most to that Sacred Land was the Omnipotent Teleportation Formation, which every day transported a mysterious visitor, bringing with them all sorts of uncertainties. He would come to see this every day, much like he did with that medicine bottle.

In those days, the land had seen the arrival of the Wandering Poet, Wilderness Walker, adventurers, a Mechanic, a Murloc Alchemist, and various other mysterious figures through the teleportation circle. They would stay there only for a day; if neither Huang Yi nor Xiao Chunzi, the two Lords, came to see them, they would leave by themselves, some to journey in the Second World and others back to their original worlds.

Soon, Huang Yi teleported to that Omnipotent Teleportation Formation.

On that teleportation circle, a majestic figure already stood. That person wore a robe that blazed with fire, adorned with symbols shaped like flames, and a magnificent religious headdress as if they were a leader of some religion.

An overwhelming aura emanated from them, like a volcano about to erupt. Even from a distance, Huang Yi felt a scorching sensation!

This was the strongest mysterious visitor Huang Yi had seen in these days, someone whose aura could even compare with the Chieftain Barbarian Saint of the Half-Beastmen Clan.

However, the person’s mental state seemed off. Their hair was disheveled, their face distorted in the firelight, eyes crimson, resembling a madman.

"I am the Lord of this land, who are you?" Huang Yi dared not approach too closely and called out from afar.

Upon seeing Huang Yi, the madman’s expression grew even more twisted, and the flames on them soared intensely, as if engulfed in raging fury: "I am the Flame Cult Leader! We are an ancient religious order from the Flame Plane, but recently the Spiritual Sect usurped our hierarchy. The leader of the Spiritual Sect comes from the Second World, so I have come to this world for vengeance. Do you know where the leader of the Spiritual Sect is? Tell me quickly! Or I’ll burn you to ashes!"

As he spoke, a flame erupted from his palm, shooting directly towards Huang Yi!

Huang Yi dodged quickly, the fireball almost grazing his clothes as it passed him, hitting a large tree behind him and reducing it to ash!

This was indeed a madman, attacking on sight without reason!

"I hate you all; it’s your people from this world who caused our Flame Cult to lose its hierarchy! I will kill you all!" The madman transformed into a figure of flame, roaring as he charged at Huang Yi.

Huang Yi dodged repeatedly, but his strength was far less than that of the madman, leaving him in peril, narrowly avoiding hits several times.

"Daring to cause chaos here! You must be tired of living!" At that moment, a majestic voice reverberated through the sky, and a tangible pressure of a demigod descended.

The Semigod Guardians of the Hero Empire had taken action!

Huang Yi glanced up to see Emperor Somerett, who had already raised his hand. A red aura of divine power enveloped it, exuding a vast force ready to annihilate the madman.

"Wait!" Huang Yi quickly shouted to stop him, "Don’t kill this person; he might be useful to me!"

He thought of the Half-Beast Holy Land, and the Chieftain Barbarian Saint’s words that it was already fortified with a Heavenly Net, awaiting his arrival. He intended to test the defensive measures of that Half-Beast Holy Land, and the Flame Cult Leader before him was the perfect candidate. By leading this madman to the Half-Beast Holy Land, chaos would surely ensue, forcing out the defensive measures of the Half-Beastmen Clan.

Emperor Somerett nodded and slowly withdrew his hand.

Huang Yi then unfurled his wings, speeding towards the Half-Beast Holy Land, with the Flame Cult Leader roaring in relentless pursuit, leaving a trail of raging flames.
