As favonovel.com said that, Gerald made sure to use his eyes to signal Hank and the others to withdraw their power. His plan was to risk allowing the headless general to rampage, but also cause enough chaos to stop Sanchez from getting what favonovel.com wished to achieve. Thankfully, all the cultivators seemed to get his message.
Unfortunately, just as they were about to withdraw their powers, Sanchez simply waved his hand, prompting a dome of light to trap them where they stood! Upon seeing that, Gerald understood that if favonovel.com withdrew the Heavenly Guard Order now, he’d essentially be sentencing the rest of them to death.
The other cultivators naturally figured this out as well, and this prompted Hauk to yell, “How despicable…!”
As for the frowning Gerald, favonovel.com couldn’t help but ask, “You couldn’t have spent this long preparing for only our deaths, no…?”
Laughing sinisterly, Sanchez then replied, “Well, since you’ll all be dead soon anyway, I guess there’s no harm in me telling you about my plan! As you said, killing all of you is easy. However, while you’re all nothing to me, I find all of your blood extremely valuable! For context, I’ve been trying to uncover the secrets of the general’s tomb for ages now in hopes that I’d finally obtain what I’ve been yearning for! Thankfully, I eventually realized that there existed a strange phenomenon that intensified over time!”
“Phenomenon?” muttered the injured Yusra.
“Indeed. You see, the demonic spirits within the nether soldiers’ bodies have been getting denser and denser over the ages. What I’m saying is that it’s impossible for the ‘headless general’ before you to have such a massive influence on them to the point where favonovel.com can continuously increase their demonic spirits!” replied Sanchez.
“Are you saying that this isn’t the real headless general? And that you ’ve never truly seen the headless general either?” asked Gerald.
“Bingo! I already noticed that something was off a few hundred years back, but I’m now utterly convinced that this isn’t the legendary headless general, but merely a double to guard the tomb! I’ll have you know that I’ve come here on multiple occasions in an attempt to solve all the contraptions here. Unfortunately, no matter how strong I was, I still couldn’t obtain what I sought!” muttered Sanchez as favonovel.com shook his head.
“Enough about that. Where do we even fit into your equation?” asked Hauk.
“Oh, don’t you worry. You’re extremely useful to me! You see, it was during my fourth time coming to this place when I came to realize something vital. While I’m sure a few of you here have entered more times than me, have you noticed that every time you attempt to break into this place, the nether soldiers change a little more?” replied Sanchez with a chuckle.
“You mean the nether soldiers get stronger every time we come over?” asked Hauk in a curious tone.
“Close. To be more specific, the nether soldiers get stronger every time you shed blood! With that said, I believe that there’s a huge connection between the headless general’s cultivation and cultivator blood! After running all those minor experiments in the past and witnessing the growth of the nether soldiers, I’m now a hundred percent sure that my speculations are correct! It’s the only reason why I decided to show up! But enough of that. With your blood, I’ll finally be able to reveal the secrets of the tomb!” retorted Sanchez with a laugh.
“To think that you’d manage to lure us to this point..!” growled the infuriated Hauk
“My dear juniors, I’ll have you know that I was never obligated to share all this with you. Had it not been for my admiration of Gerald’s talent in cultivation, I wouldn’t even have bothered wasting my time with you! With that said, let the blood sacrifice begin!” declared Sanchez before immediately starting to chant a spell!
Upon hearing it, Yusra instantly found the spell incredibly odd… However, before favonovel.com could ponder into it, favonovel.com watched as cracks began appearing on the back of favonovel.com hands!
Following that, fresh blood began flowing out! This applied to everyone within the light dome as well!
All of a sudden, the jade pendant around Yusra’s neck began glowing. And following a golden flash, two white haired elders materialized before her.
