Chapter 758 - 306: Return of the War Souls!

Blazing Flame Bo Division, amidst a plaza, over twenty thousand Ancestral Temple Keepers gathered together.

Under the night sky, flames danced atop the surrounding altars, dispelling the darkness from the plaza.

On the plaza, there were whispers; it had been some time since everyone had been summoned.

Thus, many familiar faces gathered together, quietly conversing, guessing whether they would soon meet the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple Keeper.

Even those Temple Keepers from small tribes, initially unaware of anything, had learned a thing or two on the journey to Blazing Flame through others.

As the people whispered, the dim firmament suddenly brightened.

The light overshadowing the flames on the plaza instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Far away on the horizon, multicolored radiance emerged, a vague figure seemed to stride upon the glow, yet no matter how hard everyone here squinted, they could not discern the face of the figure.

Some instinctively rubbed their eyes, and when they looked again, they suddenly saw ancient altars amidst the multicolored radiance.

Each altar exuded radiance, shrouded in clouds and mist, accompanied by the sound of clashing weapons and galloping horses, with chariots rolling and knights charging into the sky.

In an instant, it became difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

Those present were Temple Keepers, apart from those from small tribes who couldn’t quite be considered Witches, everyone’s divine sense was stronger than Martial Artists of the same tier.

But now, whether a true Temple Keeper or merely a Witch with Witch Cultivation talent, at first glance, they fell into the scene of radiance, and at second glance, their entire mind was drawn in.

Countless armored warriors looked up at the Giant Mountain, and the leading warrior was tall like a mountain peak, standing atop the summit gazing north, returning with stone inscriptions.

Bright red blood dripped, then poured down like a torrential blood rain, floating countless remains.

In the shadowy ancient land, amidst cracked earth and stones, were scattered Human Race skeletons, from young adults to the smallest of children, their dried blood turned black.

Looking out, corpses covered ten thousand miles, prey for birds and beasts.

Scene after scene pierced the minds of the Temple Keepers present like a sharp sword.

"You all are wretched slaves, the Profound Bird feeds on your blood; this is your fate."

"The meek must accept their fate!"

...

The broken battle banner, seemingly flayed, only remaining a skeleton but not falling.

"Why do you continue your futile struggle? Only by becoming our Profound Bird’s blood food can you ensure your heritage is preserved."

"To hell with that."

"Ignorant mules, tell me yourself, how many eons have passed without a Human Race messenger from elsewhere in this region? You are abandoned wretches lost in the wild."

"Merely forgotten in a corner of the Great Wilderness, who remembers a group of ants?"

"Perhaps others have long perished elsewhere, don’t expect any other Humans."

"Yongshan will return."

"Yongshan’s fire is extinguished."

"Not extinguished!"

"Only death awaits!"

Blurt!

In the plaza, a Temple Keeper’s figure convulsed violently, followed by a mouthful of reverse blood surging forth.

Blurt blurt!

Once there was the first, a second followed; their vitality like a candle in a storm flickering violently, bringing forth a surge of blood.

"Curse you, accept your fate, my ass!"

Someone instinctively cursed angrily, lifting a hand to strike ahead.

"Kill kill!"

...

The awakened figures panted heavily, feeling their vitality consumed in a great battle; some wiped the blood from their lips, their minds still immersed in the scenes witnessed just now.

Someone instinctively looked upward, seeing in front of the imposing Heroic Spirit Temple, a figure wearing a sacrificial robe standing silently in the air, gazing down at them.

A stately figure, seemingly possessing an indescribable might, bringing them boundless pressure.

Shen Can quietly observed the Temple Keepers present; actually, whether they were Tier Three or Tier One, or even if they were just Witches, it was insignificant to Shen Can.

Lower strength could be cultivated.

Using powerful divine sense, he constructed a spiritual world, drawing all present Temple Keepers into it and saw everyone’s disposition.

Not bad, over ninety percent had a usable mentality.

A few older ones truly forgot the duties of Temple Keepers.

Seeing most awakened, Shen Can raised his hand.

The sound of dragons and phoenixes rang across the plaza, followed by heavenly dew descending, transforming into a gentle drizzle.

This was prepared in advance, knowing that these Temple Keepers with weak strength would experience reverse blood surges when drawn into the spiritual world.

At this moment, the dew contained rich medicinal Qi, making those present feel a coolness rising in their bodies, also nourishing the injuries caused by the prior Witch Power surge.

Many looked up to see dragons and phoenixes dancing, feeling that tonight’s scene was firmly engraved in their minds.

When the dew scattered, Shen Can’s voice arose.

"You are all awakened."

Upon hearing this, the Temple Keepers present snapped back to reality one by one.

"Greetings to the Great Witch Priest."

Many prostrated, Shen Can before their eyes glowing like a deity, albeit fellow Temple Keepers, akin to fireflies compared to the bright moon.

Initial greetings were sparse, but later the sounds of salutations grew louder.

Shen Can stood unmoving, having drawn each division’s Temple Keepers into the spiritual world, not only to make them understand the Human Race’s plight but also to completely subjugate them.

Controlling these Temple Keepers essentially meant controlling the rights of sacrifice of each division.

The Human Race Alliance could be forged with Martial Dao, but the thoughts of the Human Race need these Temple Keepers for guidance.

Utilizing the spiritual world to intimidate and influence the Temple Keepers was to ensure everyone’s cooperation in his coming reforms.
