It seems! Interrogating Pierce Porter in front of the King of Night was a colossal mistake! The person who conspired with Pierce Porter was the King of Night! The person behind the King of Night, it was King Ron! Perhaps! This was the real reason why my grandfather, Williams Mason, had to die!
In an instant! Sean’s gaze towards the King of Night was filled with murderous intent!
“What now?” “Want to kill me again?” “Ha, ha!” The King of Night, locking eyes with Sean, scoffed, “Too bad, you no longer have that chance!”
Having said this! The King of Night took a pair of shackles made of cold iron from the wall behind him, walked a few steps to Sean, and locked Sean’s hands and feet! Then! He grabbed Sean’s shoulders, hauled him to the jade altar with a diameter of 9. 9 meters, and threw him in without hesitation!
Only at this moment! Sean saw the blood pool in the altar, bubbling like boiling water! No wonder! King Ron’s aura of blood was so strong! So it turns out! The so-called Soul Devouring Array was essentially a gigantic cauldron, maintaining King Ron’s life by constantly refining the essence and blood of others!!!
With a plop! After falling into the altar’s blood pool, Sean immediately sank. The blood in the altar seemed to boil, but its temperature wasn’t as high as imagined, about seventy degrees! This temperature! For ordinary people, it was already very hot. If you put your hand in, it would turn red or even get burned in a matter of seconds!
But! Sean was no ordinary person! Despite being severely injured at the moment, the bright energy in Sean’s core was minute, but his body was still protected by dark energy, so he wouldn’t be scalded!
The blood water was extremely thick, making it impossible to see! Hence! Sean struggled a bit at the bottom of the pool, standing in the altar’s blood pool. With a splash, his head just broke the surface!
Originally! The jade altar was over two meters high, and the inside was also about two meters. Considering Sean’s height, even if he stood upright, he would be submerged! But! Sean found that there was something at the bottom of the pool! Randomly strewn about, if Sean wasn’t mistaken, these were the remains of the people whose blood had filled the pool, the bones of those refined by King Ron!
Beneath the pool of blood! Bones were everywhere! This! Was the so-called underground altar, the so-called Soul Devouring Array!!! This! Was King Ron’s way of survival, his method of prolonging life!!!
After throwing Sean into the altar’s blood pool, the King of Night turned around and collected the bodies of the royal guards he had just killed, throwing them all into the pool! Immediately! Headless bodies and bloody heads floated in the massive blood pool!
Among them! The head of a royal guard fell right in front of Sean, just a few centimeters away from Sean’s face. The eyes filled with fear at the moment of death were wide open, staring at Sean! Damn it! If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably faint from fear!
“Lilies Archer!” At this moment, King Ron, sitting on the jade pillar in the center of the altar, looked down at Sean and said, “She is a very cunning woman!” “So!” “Although she has removed the source of poison from your body!” “However!” “You still have to go through the test of the Soul Devouring Array!” “This is the Soul Devouring Array!” “It was created by my ancestors after obtaining the Cauldron, not only can it refine people and animals, assist in cultivation, but it can also identify poisons in the world!” “I advise you, don’t have any illusions, don’t try any tricks!” “Otherwise!” “You will die a hundred times more painfully than now!”
As expected! The Soul Devouring Array was an enlarged version of the Cauldron! As expected! King Ron didn’t trust Lilies Archer! But! Sean wasn’t surprised by this. For someone like King Ron, nobody could fully earn his trust! Even the King of Night and Eliott Garner were no exceptions! Let alone Lilies Archer, who was far away in Fort South!
It was precisely because Lilies Archer deeply understood this, that she chose to cooperate with Sean, taking advantage of the excellent opportunity of King Ron’s core being damaged, risking her life for a game of chance related to destiny!
“What?” “Are you scared?” “Ha, ha!” Sean lifted his head, looking directly at King Ron at close range, and said solemnly, “You’d better make sure your plan is foolproof, and don’t give me a chance tolive!” “Otherwise!” “Your death will be even uglier!!!”
Sean knew! King Ron was saying these things now to gauge his reaction, to judge whether he and Lilies Archer had colluded in secret through his facial expression! So! Of course, Sean wouldn’t show signs of fear or weakness! He intended to display an aggressive posture, to unsettle King Ron!!!
“Good!” “Very good!” King Ron snorted coldly, “Then let’s see, is your life tougher, or is my Soul Devouring Array stronger!” “Tomorrow! Will I refine you! Or! Will you kill me!”
With that! King Ron swung his right hand violently, and a burst of bright energy erupted, forming a giant palm that slapped Sean’s face across the air, sending Sean, who had just stabilized, back into the bottom of the pool!
In fact! If King Ron was willing, he could activate the Soul Devouring Array at this moment and refine Sean tonight! But! King Ron was only one step away from success, and the more critical the moment, the more he couldn’t be careless, fearing that Lilies Archer had laid a trap on Sean, using Sean to plot against him!
After all! Lilies Archer was a genuine poison-blooded, with extraordinary accomplishments in poison techniques! For instance! If Lilies Archer had planted other, undetectable sources of poison in Sean’s body while removing the poison source for him? If so, once King Ron refined Sean, he would inevitably bring the poison source into his own body!
By then! King Ron’s life or death would be in the hands of Lilies Archer!!! This kind of thing! King Ron was capable of doing it! So! It was only natural for him to think that Lilies Archer was capable of doing the same! Caution is the parent of safety! It was better to be safe than sorry!
“Phooey!” After a moment, Sean stood up again, his head emerging from the water. He spat out a mouthful of blood water and deliberately taunted, “If you dare, kill me now! Or! Refine me now!” “Let’s see who dies faster!”
With a slap! As soon as Sean’s words fell, King Ron slapped him across the air again, sending Sean back to the bottom of the pool! However! Sean’s seemingly desperate attitude made King Ron more vigilant and further confirmed his intention to thoroughly examine Sean’s condition with the Soul Devouring Array tonight!
Because! In his view, for Sean, dying together with him should be the best outcome! But! He couldn’t die! He had to live, he must live, he must live without fail!!!
At this time! The King of Night took a crimson brocade box from his black robe, held it with both hands, and handed it to King Ron, saying, “Your Majesty, this villain Sean is ruthless and cruel, he has torn Prince Ashby into pieces!” “This!” “Is the only head of Prince Ashby left in the world, please have a look, Your Majesty!”
Hearing this! King Ron glanced at the crimson brocade box in the King of Night’s hand, his pupils suddenly contracted. Then, he extended his right hand, bright energy burst out, and with a whoosh, he grabbed the brocade box out of the air!
