Li Zhu wholeheartedly agreed with the Marquis's words. Turning back now would be fraught with unknown dangers, not to mention the significant time wasted. Their troops were already outside the city; if they didn't quickly ascertain what had happened, everyone would be in danger…
"Nazha, I will protect you no matter what. Whoever hurts you will have to step over my dead body..."
Li Zhu grasped Nazha's hand and solemnly promised, which could be seen as expressing his attitude: he could compromise on many things when it came to his woman, but when it came to choices, he had to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent...
"Um…"
Naza stopped asking to leave. After comforting her, Li Zhu led the two of them further into the mist...
The altar, once again littered with corpses, was shrouded in mist, concealing its true form once more…
The Marquis was the strongest, having reached the peak of indestructible strength, but his senses were not as sharp as Li Zhu's. After the two of them sensed the mist, they did not detect any life...
For some reason, a sense of danger always rose from the bottom of their hearts, making them feel a chill down their spines!
Even knowing there was danger inside, the three of them still gritted their teeth and walked into the fog...
The entire city was actually shrouded in mist, but the mist around the altar remained condensed and did not dissipate, making it impossible to see or perceive what was inside...
The fog on the outside is so faint that it has less of an impact on people...
Even so, Nazha and Hou Wang were still affected by the situation in such an environment. It's hard to say what would happen to them if they entered the mist around the altar. It's also hard to say whether Li Zhu could save them in time!
Faced with the unknown, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and venture deeper into the fog...
A dizzying sensation instantly swept over the three of them, causing them to lose their sense of direction immediately. Most importantly, their vision was obstructed, making it impossible for them to see their surroundings clearly...
The moment they stepped into the fog, they lost their sense of direction...
In an instant, chaos erupted in the minds of the three people, and countless images seemed to flash before their eyes, causing their eyes to fall into a state of confusion!
The dragon tattoo on Li Zhu's body immediately lit up, and the black power within his body circulated rapidly, causing all the negative effects to disappear without a trace in an instant!
Li Zhu's eyes regained their clarity, and he immediately looked at the two people beside him. At this moment, they looked even more terrifying than before, standing there laughing one moment and screaming in fear the next. They seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, their bodies swaying from side to side. They looked like two idiots...
Li Zhu was about to rescue the two men, but at that moment, they began to slowly move in the same direction...
This caused Li Zhu to retract his hand, which had already gathered power. He looked around, but due to the special effect of the mist, he could no longer distinguish east from west. If he relied on himself to find his way, who knew where he would end up...
Since this mist is shrouding the altar, it must be controlled by the altar's mysterious power. Anyone who enters must be swept away by this power and drawn towards the altar...
Recalling the countless corpses on the altar, all of whom died facing it, suggests that the deceased people were likely controlled by this force and willingly came to the vicinity of the altar…
Moreover, Li Zhu guessed that all of these people must have committed suicide. If someone had massacred so many people, it would have taken several days to kill them all. Only if these civilians took matters into their own hands could they have killed them almost simultaneously without any news getting out.
quack quack…
The cawing of crows startled Li Zhu from his thoughts. The crows circled the altar, swooping down to gnaw on the corpses when hungry. However, Li Zhu could not witness this scene for the time being, as he was trapped in the mist…
After figuring out the key point, Li Zhu realized that Nazha and Hou Wang were heading towards the altar...
Since we can't tell which way is which anyway, we might as well take a gamble. If we win, we'll find the altar, and then it won't be too late to rescue the two of them...
After finalizing the plan, Li Zhu followed closely behind the two people. These two people were important to him, and he couldn't let anything happen to them!
When they looked from the outside of the fog, they were not far from the inside of the fog, but this short distance felt like an eternity to Li Zhu!
Aside from footsteps, the only sound in the mist was Li Zhu's slightly rapid breathing. Soon, Li Zhu followed the two men and saw the corpses on the ground. At first, there were only one or two, but then more and more appeared, until finally the corpses were even connected...
Seeing this, Li Zhu realized he had made the right gamble this time. Following the two people controlled by the strange power, they were indeed able to find the location of the altar...
Guided by the corpse, Li Zhu felt there was no need for the two of them to continue their adventures, so he decided to rescue them first…
Power gathered in his palm; this time, he gathered even more power, for the strange power here was far more concentrated, and only greater power could break through it…
"wake up…"
Li Zhu roared and slammed his power weapon at Nazha's forehead, but at that moment, he sensed danger and dodged to the side...
When he turned around, he discovered that the one who had just attacked him was the Marquis, who was controlled by some strange power…
This was a situation Li Zhu had never anticipated, but he couldn't just stand by and watch the two of them go to their deaths. If they continued on, the two of them would probably have to slit their own throats...
He had only just broken through the Vajra Indestructible Realm and hadn't yet systematically learned any martial arts techniques. Facing a master who had practiced martial arts for decades, he was simply outmatched...
Moreover, this expert's strength had reached the peak of indestructibility, far surpassing his own...
Li Zhu gritted his teeth and charged forward again. Since he couldn't wake Nazha, he would wake the Marquis first...
As expected, the Marquis stepped forward, and the two began to fight back and forth…
The king's gaze was blank, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul, so his moves were very rigid, relying entirely on instinct to attack...
This gave Li Zhu the opportunity to defeat a master stronger than himself. However, he was hesitant and timid in the fight, afraid of actually harming the Marquis. On the other hand, the Marquis had no such concerns. Even if it was just instinct, he felt that Li Zhu, a newcomer to the martial arts world, was no match for him…
Moreover, during his battle with the Marquis, Li Zhu also had to keep an eye on Nazha, ensuring she remained within his sight...
