Chapter 30 Chapter 23: The Flame Emperor’s Sacrificial Ceremony

‘Thump!’ It was accompanied by a church bell that sounded close to and much.

Zhang Yun’s consciousness step by step blurred. It was as if he was having a hangover. He all of a sudden awoke in an unknown place.

The encompassing scene modified from a bed room filled with posters to an enormous canyon filled with yellow sand and unusual stones. Zhang Yun may vaguely see pink lava pouring out of the encompassing rock partitions. It was steaming and submerging the cracks within the floor.

The initially chilly autumn season appeared to have was a sizzling summer season, making folks really feel extraordinarily sizzling and dry. The urge to take off one’s garments felt irresistible.

This?

It was too… It was too life like!

Zhang Yun felt as if he had transmigrated to a different world!

Whereas sighing, he rotated and glanced on the empty canyon. It might in all probability take an hour for Darkish Knight Leon and his group to come back over.

That was true.

Darkish Knight Leon was using on a powerful black army horse. Zhang Yun may solely depend on strolling. Following the traces left on the bottom, Leon may meet up with him at any time.

Leon shouldn’t be frightened about Zhang Yun taking part in any methods.

As he considered it, Zhang Yun rapidly walked ahead and entered the short-term camp. He regarded on the group of red-haired youngsters who have been panicking.

Earlier than Zhang Yun may converse, a stern-looking middle-aged swordsman of about 30 years of age walked out of the army tent within the middle.

The swordsman had quick pink hair and held a pink sword in his hand. His higher physique was naked and filled with muscle tissue. The left aspect of his waist was wrapped in a white bandage, and there have been evident blood stains on it.

Clearly…

This was one of many 5 Dragon Generals, Hero Kanan.

“Who’re you? What are you doing right here?”

Zhang Yun took out the monitoring stone that Darkish Knight Leon had given him and spoke. “I used to be despatched right here by Darkish Knight Leon.”

Kanan frowned.

“Leon? That fellow… His Majesty has already promised me that he gained’t power me anymore.

Why did he nonetheless ship you right here?”

Zhang Yun responded frivolously.

“To kill you.”

Kanan’s face was stuffed with disbelief.

“What? Is that madman going to disobey?”

Zhang Yun continued.

“No. Based on Darkish Knight Leon, that is the order of the Flame Emperor. However I don’t actually wish to assist Leon, and I don’t actually wish to assist the Flame Emperor. So long as you give me some info, I’ll show you how to cope with them.”

Zhang Yun inquired, “Inform me the rationale… As one of many 5 Dragon Generals, you helped the Flame Emperor unify the volcanic land, however the Flame Emperor desires to kill you as a substitute? What have you ever executed? Treason?” Kanan checked out Zhang Yun suspiciously.

“You don’t know something? Additionally, out of your look, you don’t appear to be a local of the volcanic area. You’re a foreigner from the surface continent, proper? What do you, a foreigner, wish to do by coming right here to take part in our home affairs within the volcanic land?”

Zhang Yun reminded him, “Leon is correct behind me. He’ll be right here in an hour on the newest. Each minute you waste now could be one step nearer to dying. And…Leon gave me a mission.

Aside from killing you, I additionally must kill everybody who’s with you. Presumably? He gained’t let these youngsters off, will he?”

With that, Zhang Yun waved his hand and summoned a dense variety of Shadow Troopers. His forces surrounded the easy camp in the midst of the valley.

“In fact, you may select to not consider me.

As soon as Leon arrives, you may guess that he won’t wish to kill you. If Leon strikes you, I gained’t provide you with one other probability. You may be dealing with one of many 5 Dragon Generals alone, in addition to my Shadow Legion.”

Trying on the densely packed Shadow Troopers and the terrifying strain they emitted, Kanan turned pale with fright. He subconsciously raised the pink sword in his hand to guard himself.

A uncommon skilled!?

Rattling it!

Did Leon actually ship this man?

Did this madman wish to assault him?

Or relatively…was this actually the instruction of the Flame Emperor?

No!

That was inconceivable!

If the Flame Emperor needed to kill him, he wouldn’t have to attend till now!

This was clearly Leon’s private choice!

That damned lunatic!

It was positively him! In any other case!

How may a international skilled from the mainland discover this hidden place?

The foreigner was even holding a monitoring stone that pointed to Kanan’s actual location?! They couldn’t have despatched folks to analyze simply because they’d guessed what the Flame Emperor, was doing!

In any other case, even when there was solely a slight chance, the folks on the mainland wouldn’t have solely despatched one skilled. As an alternative, they’d have straight declared battle on the Flame Emperor, then despatched a military to suppress the border and seal off the whole volcanic land… After checking out his ideas, Kanan’s eyes darkened. He rapidly stated to Zhang Yun, “I don’t know who you’re or why you got here to the land of volcanoes! However if you happen to assist me cope with Leon and let these harmless youngsters escape, I’ll inform you every part you wish to know!”

Zhang Yun sighed, “I’ve already stated it. You don’t have a lot time left. Inform me instantly, why did the Flame Emperor ask Leon to kill you? Why are you hiding on this distant place with so many youngsters?” Zhang Yun provided, “First, give me a motive to save lots of you. I’ll prevent. Do you perceive?” Listening to this, Kanan couldn’t assist however chew his lips. After hesitating for a second, he lastly revealed what he knew, “Sacrificial ceremony… His Majesty, the Flame Emperor, intends to carry a sacrificial ceremony… Sacrifice 3000 virgin boys and 3000 virgin women to activate the traditional magic circle left by the Hearth God. With that, all of our folks will briefly resist the chilly. Then, we’ll invade the Ice Kingdom…” Kanan continued, “With a view to defend these youngsters, I disobeyed the order of the Flame Emperor. That was why… I used to be stripped of my title as one of many 5 Dragon Generals and have become a needed felony on the run… However the Flame Emperor informed me earlier than that he discovered a substitute for the youngsters. He supposed to let me go. So long as I stayed within the Flame Canyon with these youngsters and didn’t go anyplace… You have been despatched to kill me… It was clearly an order from that madman, Leon…” As anticipated! Zhang Yun knew it!

The reality behind the entire incident was not easy! In any other case, the historic doc that recorded the previous of the Ice Kingdom wouldn’t have skipped the title of the unique 5 Dragon Generals and deemed the individual named ‘Mage Swordsman Russell’ as considered one of them! Russell was simply talked about by Fjolm. And Zhang Yun’s speculation was not improper. Because the Flame Emperor even dared to recruit the Ice Kingdom’s well-known Mage Swordsman Russell as one of many 5 Dragon Generals… Then, there was no motive for him to recruit Zhang Yun, the Shadow Demon who may summon numerous Shadow Troopers, underneath his command. The Flame Emperor didn’t intend to let Zhang Yun change Kanan, who was about to be disposed of, as one of many 5 Dragon Generals!

This was exactly the rationale why Zhang Yun got here to the volcanic area and decisively alternative the choice to affix the Imperial Military. He would be capable of discover a chance to get near the Flame Emperor! On the identical time…

Such an choice gave Zhang Yun an opportunity to run into one of many 5 Dragon Generals, Darkish Knight Leon.

Zhang Yun ended up encountering Kanan who was on the verge of being eradicated.

He found the reality.

Concurrently, Zhang Yun may conveniently make a former member of the 5 Dragon Generals an ally of the Silver Wolf Bandits!

Actually…his luck was too good!

Ha!

The subsequent step of the plan was achieved!

Zhang Yun would assist Kanan kill Darkish Knight Leon. He may then use Kanan’s id as one of many 5 Dragon Generals to uncover the background of the opposite three. On the identical time, Zhang Yun would use his standing to show the conspiracy of the Prongia Empire! There wouldn’t be a chance to sneak once more… The volcanic area wouldn’t be a match for the Ice Kingdom! Zhang Yun may efficiently survive the foremost occasions of the period! Conquer a dungeon!
