“Buzz!”

As the sharp blue light burst out, ripples appeared in the space wherever it passed, and it flew straight towards Xu Guozhong’s head like an arrow.

“Who?!”

A sense of terror between life and death surged into his heart, and Xu Guozhong looked back with horror in his eyes. As a ninth-level soul engineer, his perception was extremely sensitive.

“Shh!”

Immediately afterwards, a dark red gem hanging on Xu Guozhong’s neck suddenly lit up, forming a scarlet protective shield that enveloped Xu Guozhong.

This is exactly the ninth-level spiritual soul guide shield that he carries with him.

But after the shield lit up, the fear in Xu Guozhong’s eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and even turned into horror.

Because the moment the blue light hit his ninth-level soul guide shield, countless cracks appeared on his shield, making a sharp, piercing sound.

“Crack! Click!”

“Boom!”

With a crisp sound, the scarlet soul guide shield turned into broken pieces and floated everywhere. The light in Xu Guozhong’s eyes slowly faded, a bloody hole as big as a bowl appeared on his forehead, and his body let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.

“Prince! Prince!”

“You… who are you?!”

When the other men of Xu Guozhong saw this scene and felt the hot blood splashing on their faces, they panicked instantly, pulled Xu Guozhong up, pointed at the blue figure in the distance, and asked in a trembling voice.

It was just a short breath, and their prince, a ninth-level soul engineer, fell in a pool of blood. How could they not panic?

“Don’t worry, our Banner Master is merciful and only sent me to get rid of Xu Guozhong. You can leave now.”

The blue halo faded away, and the graceful figure was none other than the Sea Princess.

The competition among the three major underground forces ended tonight, and the strategic resource reserves were emptied. In Jiang Jue’s view, Xu Guozhong was no longer useful.

In order to prevent Xu Guozhong from causing trouble in the future, Jiang Jue asked Princess Hai to stay and resolve this hidden danger in advance.

“Yes, yes, yes! Master Banner Master, please be merciful!”

“The Lord Banner Master’s kindness is compounded with interest, and we can never repay him!”

“We’re leaving now.”

When they heard that they would not die, they immediately became excited. Although they did not know who the owner of the banner this person was talking about, it was always right to praise him. Then they pulled up Xu Guozhong’s body and were about to walk out.

“You’re really going to leave when I tell you to?”

Looking at the people passing by her, the Sea Princess spoke lightly, and the blue halo in her hand lit up again, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.

“Sir, you…”

When they heard this, they were shocked and stood still, not daring to move.

“Leave Xu Guozhong’s body behind.”

Princess Sea made a hook with her hand, and Xu Guozhong’s body flew out from someone’s hand and fell in front of her. Then Princess Sea grasped the air with her bare hands, and a soul was drawn out.

The next moment, Xu Guozhong’s body was corroded by the blue light and was destroyed, leaving only five glowing soul bones.

“We must learn to conserve resources. Dead people are not human beings, right?”

Princess Sea put away the five soul bones and the soul, looked deeply at everyone, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the strategic resource reserve.

“Boss, the prince is dead, what should we do?”

Half a minute after the Sea Princess left, the people finally let go of their worries. One of them asked the eighth-level soul instructor who was in the lead.

Now that Xu Guozhong is dead and such a large strategic resource reserve has been looted by bandits, they see no hope of survival at all.

“See that? The heroes of the Xingluo Empire are here to rob the rich and give to the poor.”

“Our way to survive lies in this.”

The leading eighth-level soul master pointed at several prominent characters on the wall and said in a deep voice.

“Boss, do you have another plan?”

When the others heard this, they instantly became excited and had hope of survival again.

“Our Crown Prince has always been in favor of war, but he had no justification and could only attack the three empires by force. But now with these few words, we are the army of justice and have an excuse to start a war… a name, so our hope of survival lies in these few words.” After the eighth-level soul engineer finished speaking, several people walked to the bare wall thoughtfully, looked at the words, and fell into deep thought.

Does it matter whether it was really the strategic resource reserve that was looted by people from the Star Luo Empire?
It doesn’t seem to matter…

After figuring it out, one person murmured.

“The person who left these words is a pretty nice person…”

……

West side of Mingdu.

Surrounded by mountains, the sun and moon lack light.

Many towering mountains come together to form a round valley. Inside the valley, there is clear lake water, the surface of the lake is sparkling and the bottom is visible.

Suddenly, several figures attacked from the sky, and countless birds in the forest were startled and fled in all directions.

“Hehehe, the sacrifice has been found.”

I saw two men in black robes holding a boy and a girl respectively. When the two heard the questions from the men in black robes, they started struggling instantly.

“What are you doing? What kind of sacrifice?”

When the young man heard this, he screamed miserably, his voice trembling.

The men in black robes didn’t say much, but just laughed weirdly.

“Xiao Li, it looks like we are going to die here today, but marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life.”

“This is also the greatest blessing in my life, but I am willing to die with you and become a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks.”

The woman replied crying, with a loving look in her eyes.

When several men in black robes saw this scene, there was suddenly a hint of mockery in their eyes, and soon they arrived above the center of the lake.

“Hehehe, this grand sacrifice now requires one of you two to be the sacrifice. Who of you is willing to be the sacrifice? Whoever makes the sacrifice, we will let the other one go.”

A man in black robes looked at the two of them with a strange smile and said seductively.

Hearing this, the couple, who were originally bidding each other farewell with affection, were stunned. When they looked at each other in their desperate eyes, a glimmer of hope instantly appeared.

“Please, let me go!”

The next moment, the girl shouted hurriedly, looking at her husband with a pleading look in her eyes.

“Huh? You want me to die! And you want to live alone?! Then what did you just say!”

“I ask you if I am a human being, am I a human being?”

The young man was stunned for a moment, then became angry and yelled at the girl.

“I still have a lot of things to do. I can’t die yet. I can’t die yet! Just go and die. Didn’t you say you love me? If you love me, why can’t you die for me?”

The girl, with her eyes wide open and her hair disheveled, roared at the young man.

The two people who had just been in love with each other suddenly seemed to see the murderer of their father. They blamed each other and yelled at each other.

“My Lords, kill him, kill him. He is willing to die for me. He is always so hypocritical. He really wants to die…”

The girl gradually became hysterical and pointed at the young man.

“You bitch!”

The young man was also furious.

Several men in black robes seemed to have anticipated this scene a long time ago. They smiled with satisfaction, and one of them slowly took out a silver knife.

Seeing the man in black robe was about to take action, the two men argued more fiercely, insulting each other and wishing each other death.

“Whoosh!”

Two silver lights flashed by.

Two heads with disbelief in their eyes fell towards the lake below. Their eyes were full of disbelief. They wanted to express something, but they couldn’t speak.
