While Chen Heng was still busy in the laboratory, a discussion was starting in the comer of Hechi Star.

“Malikado didn’t die from the mutation. He’s still alive and active in his base…”

“He looks fine. He’s still alive and well.”

“He controlled the curse of the Oriel family?”

In the spacious room, a meeting was starting. There was a huge round table in the middle of the room with many people sitting around it. All of them were wearing the same clothes and were talking about Malikado.

If Chen Heng were here and saw the long robes on these people, he would immediately be able to identify these people from the marks on their robes. This group of people was none other than the group from the Red Lotus Society.

‘Ayear ago, this group of people had negotiated with Malikado to snatch Gunali away from him. Anda year later, they were still discussing this matter.

“It seems that he made the wrong choice at that time.”

“I thought that without our help, Malikado would die. Then, it would be much easier for us to do whatever we wanted.”

“But I didn’t expect that he managed to suppress the curse on his body through some unknown means…”

“He must pay the price for his deception!”

In the room, waves of cold and gloomy voices sounded, faintly carrying a killing intent.

As early as a year ago, when Malikado had cut off all contact with them, they hadn’t paid much attention. After all, they were very clear about Malikado’s situation. If Malikado didn’t hand over Gunali, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long with his current condition.

‘They could wait for Malikado’s curse to erupt, head to the Oriel family, and take Gunali away. At that time, they could also have achieved their goal. But they didn’t care about it at first. Instead, they watched Malikado’s actions coldly, waiting for him to disappear.

As they waited, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. As the curse’s power exploded, Malikado’s condition should be getting worse and worse. However, the situation was completely different.

‘As time passed, the situation on Malikado’s body didn’t get worse. Instead, it gradually improved. Even his strength was still growing, and his condition became more and more like an average person.

And now, unknowingly, they had already waited for a whole year. Malikado was still alive, staying there. Even a fool would have to come to terms with this situation. Malikado had played them. He had found another way to suppress the curse and had already solved the problem on his body. Since the curse

on his body had been solved, there was naturally nothing for them to do.

After thinking through this problem, everyone from the Red Lotus Society immediately reacted, “No matter what, that girl must be in our hands!”

In the middle of the room, a man wearing a red robe and a mask stood and said loudly, “Such a pure bloodline is the best sacrifice for our King!”

“Our King needs such a pure bloodline to revive him.”

“Since we cant reach an agreement with Malikado now, let’s talk based on strength.”

At this point, the members of the Red Lotus Society stood up one after another and spoke fervently, “For my King!” They were shouting, and their voices covered the entire room, penetrating far into the distance.

Standing in the middle of the arena, the High Priest of the Red Lotus Society nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the emotional scene in front of him.

“Let’s get ready.” He waved his hand and said, ‘We can hold a grand ceremony after a while. We will include Malikado’s daughter in the ceremony as the best sacrifice for our King. As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of wild cheers erupted from the surroundings once again.

Behind the High Priest of the Red Lotus Society, the giant warrior statue slowly opened its eyes as the surrounding voices echoed. Its eyes were filled with intelligence as if it was alive.

Time slowly passed. Several days passed in the blink of an eye. During these few days, there were no more abnormalities around Gunali. The strange aura around Gunali did not appear again after that.

Everything around them seemed to be very calm. Gunali went to school usually and returned home usually. It was very peaceful, just like the past.

One night, the sky outside was already dark. A silver moon hung, shining in all directions. Under the faint moonlight, many lives were surging on the dark moon.

Gunali got up in a daze and opened her eyes subconsciously. Then, she suddenly woke up.

‘Where is this?’ She looked before her. Around her, it was no longer the room she was familiar with but another place. This seemed to be a huge palace. There were stone tablets all around it, making it seem extremely strange.

Gunali turned around and looked behind her. She had been lying on the bed behind her. However, that bed was not hers either. It was an extremely unfamiliar bed.

‘What exactly is this place?’ A strong sense of strangeness welled up in her heart. At this moment, Gunali felt some fear in her heart, but she still braced herself. She looked around cautiously, wanting to observe the situation around her.

Under her observation, the surrounding scenery was displayed. She saw giant stone tablets in the palace in front of her. These stone tablets were very exquisite. There was a sculpture of a demon God on each stone tablet, looking unique.

Some of these demon Gods were in the shape of humans, but most of them looked very strange. They were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, looking terrifying.

Gunali looked at these stone tablets with some fear. As the pearl of the Oriel family, Gunali was born with the ability to sense the malice of others. And at this moment, she could only feel it deeply. On the stone tablets before her, waves of dense malice emerged. All of them were charging toward her as if they

wanted to swallow her up.

Gunali’s heart was filled with fear. She had an ominous premonition.

‘These stone tablets, are they alive?’ In the past, she had also felt the malice of others.

It was normal. Even though Gunali was the pearl of the Oriel family, the malice hidden in people’s hearts could not be concealed. There would always be people who appeared to be respectful, but they were dissatisfied with you and even had malicious thoughts.

It was just that in the past, Malikado had protected Gunali very well and rarely let such a malicious person get close to her. Those who harbored malicious intentions were usually swept away as soon as they were discovered. But even so, what should have been experienced had been experienced.

However, compared to the stone tablets before her, the malicious intent that Gunali had felt in the past was no big deal. The malicious intent emitted from the stone slabs was so fierce that it felt like it wanted to swallow her alive and leave no flesh behind. Such terrifying killing intent made Gunali’s body

tremble.

After a long while, she moved again and tried to walk toward the outside world. However, she walked very carefully, afraid that she might accidentally touch something and attract the attention of something.

During this process, even more things were reflected in her eyes. Besides those stone tablets, there were many spooky runes and eulogies in the palace. Those eulogies seemed to be dedicated to someone known as the Black King.

“The Black King? Gunali was unfamiliar with this name, and she didn’t understand what this name represented. However, from the eulogies around her, it could be seen that this person was a very significant figure.

She continued to walk forward, and a faint scream of pain could be heard around her. Gunali’s body subconsciously trembled. Then, she looked in the direction of the scream. Under her gaze, there seemed to be a figure in a corner. A faint cry could be heard as if he was shouting something.

‘Is someone else there?’ Gunali thought.

‘Then, she looked at the figure curled up in the corner. After hesitating for a long time, she made up her mind and began to walk forward. She walked very slowly, afraid that she would encounter something terrifying.

After a long while, she walked behind the figure, maintaining a certain distance, and tried to speak after stabilizing her emotions, “May I ask…”

The faint moonlight shone outside the window, and she could barely see a thing. However, as Gunali was facing the back, she could not see the figure’s appearance. As she spoke, the constantly-shouting figure seemed to have reacted and started to turn around slowly.

Gunali’s voice instantly stopped when she saw a ferocious face appearing before her eyes. She could vaguely see the face of a boy. However, the flesh on his face had entirely rotted. Maggots were squirming on it, moving up and down. There was even a smell of rotten flesh. Her mind turned blank, and she

subconsciously wanted to shout out loud.

A pale arm suddenly stretched out and covered Gunali’s mouth, dragging her to the side and pressing her to the ground.

“Don’t make a sound, do you understand?” In the darkness, a low voice sounded.

Under the faint moonlight, Gunali could see the face of the person in front of her. She was a young girl, about fifteen to sixteen years old, wearing a long black robe. At this moment, she was carrying Gunali and moving away quickly from the previous area.

The young girl seemed to be very agile. In a short period, she brought Gunali away and quickly arrived at another area which was a blind spot. Faint moonlight shone around her, making her appear very bright.

After arriving at this area, the thick malice that had previously shrouded Gunali’s heart, making her almost impossible to breathe, began to subside.

Without the invasion of that malice, Gunali’s emotions gradually calmed down. The girl looked at Gunali’s appearance and put down her hand covering Gunaliss lips. Then, she asked, “Are you okay?”

‘1…” Gunali looked at the girl before her and was about to speak.

“This is the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters.” The young girl glanced at Gunali and immediately knew what she wanted to ask. “You came here because you were chosen.”

“Twas chosen?” Gunali was a little confused when she heard the girl’s words.

“Yes.” The girl nodded and continued, “The people who come to this place are the sacrificial offerings chosen by the Red Lotus Society to be offered to the Black King.”

“Sacrificial offerings… The Black King…” Gunali’s mind went blank.

Gunali didn’t understand the meaning of sacrificial offerings. She just instinctively knew that this wasn’t a good word.

The girl looked at Gunali’s appearance and wasn’t surprised by her reaction. “I’ve been here for half a month, and I haven’t seen you before. You were captured today, right?”

“Should be…” Gunali nodded and said with uncertainty.

She didn’t know how she got here. She only slept for a while, and then here she was after waking up. She didn’t know whether this was counted as being caught or not.

“Except for a small number of people who came here voluntarily, most people here are like you. They woke up here…”

“Voluntarily?” Gunali was a little puzzled. “Is there anyone who came here voluntarily?”

From the current situation, this place was abnormal, didnt look like a good place. The outcome of being sacrificed didn’t seem like a good thing.

‘Under such circumstances, was there anyone willing to come here? Gunali was a little puzzled and couldn’t understand.

“There are always some people who would be willing for various reasons…” The girl sighed and said tiredly, “For power and wealth, some were abducted and sold by their parents, and some were deceived…”

‘Is that the case?’ Gunali blinked as this thought flashed through her mind.

“The person you saw before was sold by his parents…” The girl sneered and said, ‘Just for two Golden Dragons.”

‘Two Golden Dragon..’ Gunali was a little confused. Would someone sell their child just for two Golden Dragons?

For Gunali, who came from a wealthy family and was the pearl of the Oriel family, even two hundred Golden Dragons were no big deal, not to mention two Golden Dragons. She could not understand.

“After he was sold, he was tampered with by those people. Then, he went crazy and became like this.”

The girl sighed and said, “Your situation just now was dangerous. He has already gone crazy. If you approach him without permission, something will happen.”

The two of them slowly conversed. Perhaps it was because there were not many ordinary people in this place, or perhaps Gunali was still young and very cute. The girl chatted and explained a lot to Gunali.

Gunali also trusted the girl. mn her perception, the girl had good intentions and didn’t have any malice toward her. Based on Gunali’s experience, this meant that the girl could be trusted.

During the conversation, Gunali also learned the girl’s name and identity.

Her name was Mary, from another kingdom, but she was only a commoner. As for why she came to this place, she did not say, but it seemed that others did not kidnap her.

“My father is mighty. He will come to save me.” Regarding the situation before her, Gunali was still rather optimistic. “And my Big Friend will also come to save me.’

She seemed to be very confident with her father and Big Friend. Even though she was here, she firmly believed they would come to save her. Mary shook her head and did not say anything about Gunali’s confidence.

After staying in this place for more than half a month, she met many people. Some of them were of noble birth and had strong backgrounds.

In the beginning, these people were like Gunali. They believed that their family would come to save her. But as time passed, they were eventually placed on the altar and became sacrificial offerings. As for their father and friends, they did not appear in the end.

Based on her past experience, Mary did not think much of Gunali’s words. But even so, she only smiled and did not say anything. The situation before her was already like this, so why add to her worries? It was not a bad thing to die with hope. At least waiting in hope was much better than suffering in

despair. But Mary and Gunali did not know was that there was already someone standing there.

“Is this the place?” In the spacious palace, Chen Heng was strolling and looking around. Under his gaze, the surrounding appeared. The huge and exquisite stone tablets, large amounts of runes, and eulogies all appeared before him.

‘The Black King… He is the ruler behind the Red Lotus Society? Chen Heng thought as he walked through this area and looked at the contents of the eulogies.

In the palace before his eyes, the objects of the eulogies were all very unified. All of them were for a person called the Black King. The stone tablets in the surroundings were also very unique.

Like how Gunali could sense the dense malice within these stone tablets, Chen Heng could also sense the existence within these stone tablets.

Within these stone tablets, there were traces of spiritual marks left. These spiritual marks were highly chaotic. Most of them were unable to maintain their consciousness. They had already disappeared, leaving behind only a bit of their instincts..
