The entrance to the underground altar was located within a rockery on the east side of the Hall of Throne. The keys to open this entrance were only given to the King of Night and Eliott Garner!
Eliott Garner, responsible for guarding the royal city!
King of Night, responsible for monitoring the world!
They could be said to be King Ron’s right and left arms, and the ones he trusted the most!
Therefore, only they were qualified to enter the underground altar and meet King Ron!
“Why?”
On the way to the rockery, the King of Night looked down at Sean on the stretcher and asked, “Why didn’t you attack me?”
Upon hearing this, the royal guards carrying the stretcher were stunned!
But Sean, understanding the hidden meaning behind the King of Night’s words, shook his head and said, “The King of Night’s weight is not enough!”
“Not worth my shot!”
Hearing Sean’s response!
The royal guards were stunned again!
Damn!
As expected of the Northern Wolf King, truly arrogant and unyielding, he even dares to look down on the King of Night!!!
The King of Night paused slightly in his steps.
Not worth it?
From Fort South to the capital, from the station to the royal city, the King of Night had been by Sean’s side all day, inseparable. Sean had silently recovered a portion of his bright energy. If he had chosen to attack the King of Night like he had ambushed Earl Woods, he would have had many opportunities!
Just before, Sean had injured Earl Woods with a punch from several meters away!
If he had ambushed the King of Night at close range in the car, the King of Night knew that he would not have been able to dodge in an unprepared situation!
Even, there was the possibility of being killed by Sean with a single punch!!!
Despite the fact that the King of Night had deceived Sean, calculated against Sean, caused Sean to be seriously injured and in a critical condition, Sean still chose not to attack the King of Night, to seek revenge!
This, while making the King of Night feel a chill down his spine, also left him greatly puzzled!
And Sean’s given reason was!
You! Not worth it!
You! Don’t have the qualifications and weight!!!
“Perhaps!”
For such an answer, King of Night wasn’t certain whether he should be incensed or relieved. In a deep voice, he said, “You’ve been biding your time, concealing your intentions. Could it be you intend to strike at His Majesty, seeking a slim chance of survival?”
“Heh heh!”
“Foolish delusion!”
“His Majesty is incredibly powerful. You are seriously injured now, but even if you were in perfect health, you would stand no chance against him. Your previous attack seemed formidable, but it was utterly insignificant in His Majesty’s eyes. It didn’t harm him in the slightest!”
“So!”
“Assassinating me would indeed be the most cost-effective course of action for you!”
“At least!”
“I am one of those who have entrapped you, after all. Killing me would yield more benefits than futile efforts…”
It had to be admitted! There was some truth in King of Night’s words!
However! His argument hinged on the premise that Sean was doomed. If he was destined to die anyway, then of course, it would make sense to eliminate as many enemies as possible!
Yet! Sean didn’t want to die!
He wanted to survive! Cecilia and Phyllis needed him to protect them. The Bloody Wolf Group’s brothers needed his rescue. His father, Parker Mason’s whereabouts were still unknown, and Liane’s identity hadn’t been clarified…
Sean was burdened with many, many responsibilities. How could he willingly give up on life???
Therefore! Even if he killed King of Night, it wouldn’t help his situation. His only target could be King Ron. Only by eliminating King Ron, the mastermind behind everything, could he truly live!
“We’re here!”
In no time, they arrived at the artificial hill. King of Night pulled out a key and opened the door to the underground altar. There was a thunderous rumble, and the artificial hill split in two!
Half to the left!
Half to the right!
They separated, revealing a long corridor!!! The corridor was brightly lit, as clear as day!
King of Night gestured, “Carry him in!”
The royal guards lifted Sean and carried him in. King of Night followed behind and closed the entrance to the corridor. The split hill slowly came together, returning to its original state!
Afterward! King of Night led the way, heading deeper into the corridor!
After about twenty meters, they came to a crossroads. King of Night did not go straight ahead but turned left. Another twenty meters later, another crossroads appeared!
This time! King of Night turned right!
After another twenty meters, the third crossroads appeared in front of them!!!
Right turn!
Straight ahead!
Left turn!
Left turn!
Right turn!
Just like that, they delved deeper into the corridor. Every twenty meters, there was a crossroads. The entire underground corridor was like a giant spider web, a labyrinth of complexity!
Sean couldn’t help but marvel at this.
From the entrance of the corridor to the underground altar, there were countless forks and routes. However, only one route led to the real underground altar. Choosing the wrong direction at any fork would lead one astray from the altar!
Even more! Among the countless incorrect paths, there surely were deadly traps. One wrong step, and death was certain!
So! Even if someone stole or seized the keys from King of Night and Eliott Garner, as long as they remained loyal to King Ron and didn’t betray him, without their guidance, anyone who obtained the entrance keys would still be unable to find the altar’s exact location!
This ensured the security of the underground altar to a large extent!
After all, the underground altar was the secluded training ground for all past Padishahs, absolutely no interruptions were permitted!
Finally, after going back and forth through more than a dozen crossroads, at the end of the corridor, a cold iron door had appeared.
“Your Majesty!”
The King of Night strode to the front of the iron door and said in a deep voice, “Sean has arrived.”
Click!
As soon as the King of Night’s words fell, accompanied by a piercing strange sound, the cold iron door slowly opened.
It seemed that the switch for the cold iron door was inside the underground altar.
Certainly, there must have been a way to open the cold iron door from the outside.
However, this top-secret information was only held by King Ron. Even the King of Night and Eliott Garner had no right to know.
“Come in!”
The voice of King Ron transmitted from inside the underground altar.
At this moment, the royal guards who were carrying Sean in were extremely nervous. Sweat continuously dripped from their foreheads, their hearts throbbed wildly, and their legs couldn’t help but become weak.
This was their first time entering the underground altar.
As soon as they entered the door, an intense smell of blood hit their noses, making them even more nervous. They didn’t dare to raise their heads or look at the scene inside the underground altar.
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
They placed Sean on the ground, and then unanimously knelt down, prostrating on the ground!!!
After the King of Night entered, the cold iron door slammed shut again. He walked up to the royal guards, and one could hear him say coldly, “You have completed your task.”
“Now!”
“You can leave!”
Swoosh! In the instant his words hit the ground, not waiting for the royal guards to recover, the King of Night suddenly drew the Wolf’s Massacre from Sean’s waist. The blade flashed through the air, and immediately after, several bloody heads fell from the necks of the royal guards. Like balls, they rolled all over the place.
For a place like the underground altar, a royal secret, ordinary people had only one chance to enter in their lifetime.
Once they entered, they could never leave!!!
It was the same for Sean!!!
