Chapter 1533: Chapter 1530: You’ll Have to Step Over My Corpse First

As the Black Armor Guard Leader’s indifferent words reverberated through the air, the crowd instantly had the illusion of being struck by lightning.

An expression of shock flooded over every face like a surging tide.

Everyone seemed to be hit by an invisible force, experiencing a tingling sensation on their scalp and a spine-chilling fear.

The close companions by Xu Wendong’s side all widened their eyes, their faces filled with expressions of disbelief.

Their lips trembled slightly, as though wanting to speak yet stopped by this unexpected turn of events, rendered speechless.

Clearly.

No one had expected that the high and mighty Immortal King would consider Xu Wendong an unlucky person and would resort to sacrificing him by blood to the heavens.

This cruel reality, like a heavy hammer, struck their hearts hard, making it difficult for them to accept.

In an instant, everyone’s expressions turned pale and haggard, with terror and concern filling their eyes.

Deep down in their hearts, they refused to believe Xu Wendong was an unlucky person, but with the Immortal King’s decree, who could defy it?

At this moment, the people from all directions quickly gathered like tidal waves.

Some were gaunt and emaciated, yet their eyes burned with flames of anger, flames that seemed ready to engulf Xu Wendong in an instant.

Others wore tattered clothes, tightly gripping sticks and other objects, appearing ready to attack at any moment, their bodies slightly leaning forward, fully displaying their hostility toward Xu Wendong.

The crowd’s clamorous sounds erupted, mixed with the hoarse cries of an old man: ”Such an unlucky person should be killed to prevent future disaster! We’ve had enough of these endless calamities, all brought by him!”

The old man shouted while waving his withered arms, the wrinkles on his face deepening due to anger.

There were sharp cries from a woman: ”He’s the one who brought disaster, we can’t let him go! Our family suffers in this chaotic world, all because of this scourge!”

Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes, her face full of sorrow and anger.

Children’s terrified cries were mixed in, their cries seemingly representing fear of the future and hatred for Xu Wendong.

Their voices intertwined, like raging waves, each higher than the last.

”Kill him!”

”Kill him!”

The clamors were deafening, the intense sound waves seemingly capable of breaking through the clouds, filling the entire space with this noisy and angry sound.

The faces of the civilians embodied anger and despair, attributing all their suffering to Xu Wendong, as if only by removing him could there be a glimpse of hope.

Xu Wendong stood on the rooftop, his face full of astonishment, evidently not expecting things to escalate to such an extent.

This made him, the person involved, feel perplexed.

The high Immortal King, why would he consider him an unlucky person?

Just then.

Si Yao’s voice rang out: ”Commander Ma, how did you receive the decree to sacrifice the Young Master Xu by blood when the Lord Immortal King has been in closed cultivation for years?”

Her eyes carried a look of doubt.

Because she knew the temperament of the Lord Immortal King well, it was absolutely impossible to issue such a decree.

Before Commander Ma could speak, a voice tinged with scorn came from the crowd: ”Senior Si Yao, this decree was issued by Senior Liu Yuansong. After all, he now controls the entire Underground City, even the Black Armored Guards must follow his orders.”

Si Yao looked toward the direction of the voice, seeing Wang Tong walking over slowly, his face bearing a bright smile, one hand behind his back.

The moment they saw Wang Tong.

Everyone present understood why things had escalated to this point.

The reason Xu Wendong was facing the plight of blood sacrifice was certainly due to Wang Tong’s scheming in secret.

Otherwise, things wouldn’t have come to this.

Si Yao’s eyes emitted a strong killing intent: ”If I’m not mistaken, you’re the one slandering Young Master Xu in secret, intending to use the Black Armor Guards to eliminate him, am I right?”

Wang Tong jolted slightly, speaking anxiously: ”Senior Si Yao, you are falsely accusing me. I have no enmity with Junior Brother Xu, why would I want to eliminate him?”

Seeing his anxious manner, Si Yao’s killing intent grew even stronger, her eyes cold: ”I should have killed you earlier!”

Wang Tong ceased his pretense, laughing heartily: ”Indeed, Senior Si Yao detests evil with unwavering hatred. But there’s one thing I didn’t lie about: Xu Wendong is indeed an unlucky person.”

”The massive chaos caused by the Otherworldly Demons is all because of Xu Wendong’s appearance.”

”Before he appeared, when did we ever face such a predicament?”

”So, sacrificing him to the heavens is justified.”

”I believe, once he’s dead, our situation will surely improve.”

Si Yao was filled with anger, her body trembling with rage: ”You’re bullying with power, recklessly taking lives, are you not afraid of the Immortal King waking up and unleashing his wrath?”

Previously, she held great respect for Liu Yuansong, after all, he was the Hall Master of Array Formation Hall, no matter in cultivation level or array formation prowess, she admired him deeply.

But she never dreamt that Liu Yuansong and Wang Tong would collude shamelessly, this despicable tactic left her feeling contempt and sorrow.

Indeed.

Now the Underground City is under Liu Yuansong’s control.

She dared not imagine.

In such people’s hands, what kind of disaster would befall the citizens of the city?

Wang Tong, face cold, said: ”Everything we do is for the future of the Underground City, even if the Lord Immortal King wakes up, we have a clear conscience.”

Having said that.

He looked toward the Black Armor Guard Leader, saying: ”Commander Ma, please proceed, capture Xu Wendong alive, and sacrifice him by blood!”

”Sacrifice Xu Wendong by blood!”

”Sacrifice Xu Wendong by blood!”

”Sacrifice Xu Wendong by blood!”

The surrounding civilians also started shouting.

The disciples from the Guanghan Sect among the crowd all wore sinister smiles on their faces.

Especially Zhen Jing, the corners of his mouth lifted high, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

Previously, he secretly wondered whether Wang Tong could find a way to deal with Xu Wendong, after all, the guy had both strength and brains, making it indeed quite difficult to plot against him.

But he never dreamt that Wang Tong would think of this method.

It must be said.

This method is indeed impressive, the decree of the Immortal King is an irresistible force!

”Want my life? Let’s see if you can break through my formation!” Xu Wendong was also enraged, his eyes ferocious, exuding a chilling coldness.

He was not someone who feared trouble.

If others sought his life, he would certainly not stand idly by.

Lu Shuling and the others instinctively drew their longswords, ready for battle, though the order of blood sacrifice was against Xu Wendong, everyone knew, they and Xu Wendong were on the same boat.

As soon as the formation was breached, their fate would also be miserable!

For this reason, they decided to live and die with Xu Wendong!

Si Yao stepped onto a flying sword and soared up, landing outside the formation Xu Wendong had set up, her eyes cold as she looked at the Black Armored Guards: ”If you want to kill Xu Wendong, please pass over my corpse first!”
