The three men dressed as warriors stood at the edge of the busy street, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.

"Haha, boss, I don't know why the way you look now really makes me want to laugh."

Long Kun was dressed in a black warrior costume, and he even had the mind to laugh at Xu Yang's face which was covered in special colored makeup.

Instead, it was Qingya, who was also dressed as a warrior, who spoke up in time and cleared Boss Xu Yang's name.

"Just looking at the way you are dressed, you look like a mean person. You even want to discredit our boss. I don't know what you are thinking. Even if the boss is not wearing anything, he is still more elegant than you."

Qingya spoke absolutely from the heart, and unknowingly revealed her true innermost thoughts, which made Xu Yang feel a little amused and helpless, but gave Long Kun who was beside her a great advantage.

"Hahaha, Qingya, you little bitch, why don't you tell the truth? Are you secretly doing some shameful things to our boss every night when you go to bed?"

Qingya's pretty face immediately turned red after hearing what Long Kun said. This kind of topic was totally unsuitable to be discussed openly, so she instinctively raised her hand and hit Long Kun.

Little did he know that Qingya's cultivation had already reached the middle to late stage of Lingxu Realm, and she used no restraint in her attack, almost breaking Long Kun's disguise into pieces.

Just at this moment, a patrolling team of more than a dozen warriors came in front of Xu Yang and the other two, and the centurion in the lead dismounted from his horse with a stern expression.

"Are you three tired of living?

Have you all forgotten what day it is tonight? That is the most important festival of every year in our Holy Soul City.

"Everyone, pay attention to me. If any part of the ceremony is not perfect, it is likely to bring serious consequences. Can you three afford it?"

Xu Yang and the other two cooperated with the centurion in front of them. They immediately lowered their heads and hurriedly dressed as warriors.

Re-tidied it.

They stood upright in front of the centurion and accepted his instructions, and only then did the patrol team leave with great satisfaction.

"Alright, alright, be quiet, stop fighting, and don't forget that we have more important tasks to accomplish tonight."

Xu Yang pretended to be dignified, cleared his throat, and reminded Long Kun and Qing Ya beside him.

Although with the strength of the three of them, they could easily solve all the troubles even if they broke into the Holy Soul City, but if they did so, they would inevitably expose their identities in advance.

That will definitely lead to many bad consequences.

After all, Xu Yang and the other two now have a special agreement with the emperor of the empire.

He entered the Holy Soul City under the pretext of going to the three forbidden areas for trials to improve his cultivation.

If there was too much noise during this period, the situation would become very embarrassing and it would be difficult to report back to the emperor of the empire. Taking this into consideration, Xu Yang decided to solve the problem inside the Holy Soul City as simply as possible. It would be best not to alert the enemy and expose his identity.

Perhaps because such a ceremony is held in the city-state every year, all the people in the entire Holy Soul City seem extremely excited from morning to night throughout the entire day.

Because on this day every year, after successfully completing the soul-sacrificing ceremony, if they can witness the emergence of the talent of a chosen one, all the people will receive special rewards from the royal exclusive team, and the warriors in charge of guarding the city will also receive rewards to varying degrees.

Overall, this soul-sacrificing ceremony looked like a full-blown carnival, except that those poor children became victims.

In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. The guard team that Xu Yang and the other two were in was transferred to the center of the square where the soul-sacrificing ceremony was held. This was also the result of the arrangement that Xu Yang had planned early on.

Because only in this place can the three of them take action at any time to intervene in the entire process of the soul-sacrificing ceremony, and they can also obtain the clearest perspective and understand the ins and outs of the whole matter.

Sure enough, after all the warrior outposts had gathered.

Thousands of children who were waiting to take the test for the soul-sacrificing ritual were escorted from the end of the longer street to the center of the square one by one under the protection of a group of warriors with special identities.

What Xu Yang and the other two did not expect was that along with these children, there appeared thousands of victims with scars all over their bodies and wearing prisoner uniforms.

And the vast majority of these people were women. They looked at the children in the cradles closest to them, who were crying non-stop, with sorrow written all over their faces.

But judging from the current situation, they simply had no power to resist the warriors around them.

"Boss, have you noticed that those women have common characteristics? They don't seem to be women from the empire."

Long Kun quickly discovered some details through observation, and immediately shared what he found with Xu Yang and Qing Ya who were standing at the sentry post beside him.

"good."

Xu Yang nodded solemnly.

"If my judgment is correct, these women should all be captives of the Proxima Empire.

When we participated in the Hundred Martial Alliance before, we had dealt with the warriors from the Primordial Empire. Judging from the unique aura they exuded, I couldn't be wrong. These women should be prisoners of war captured after the battle between the two empires.

If that's the case, then I can probably guess the truth about the so-called soul-sacrificing ceremony.

It is to use the new lives conceived from the bodies of these female prisoners of war to select good seedlings with extraordinary martial arts talents to serve the future empire.

And these poor women have undoubtedly become machines for the empire to create new forces.

In this so-called magnificent Holy Soul City, beneath the towering city walls, they have forever lost their most basic rights as human beings.

It's really too cruel. I never thought that under this seemingly glamorous empire, there would be such inhumane practices."

Xu Yang expressed his true feelings, and for the first time he wavered in his decision to support the Emperor of the Empire. Before that, the three of them had promised the Emperor of the Empire to lead the warriors within the empire to attack the Binary Empire.

However, the high and mighty emperor of the empire acted like a weakling in front of Xu Yang and the other two. No one would have thought that he would actually condone those powerful people within the empire to do such a shameful thing.

When Long Kun heard Xu Yang's indignant speech, he couldn't help but ask.

"Boss, according to your opinion, should we reject the old emperor's request and stop serving him on the main battlefield?"
