A voice came from the front. The leader of the Red Lotus Society members looked forward. There, an old man with a skinny figure stood. Although he was wearing the Red Lotus Society’s long robe, he did not wear a mask on his face. Obviously, the voice just now was from him.

“She’s in a pretty good condition now.” The team leader said and reported truthfully, “The princess of the Oriel family seems to have pretty good adaptability. She’s still lying in the corner.”

“Should we send her to the sacrifice this time?” He asked seriously.

“No.” In front, the old man shook his head and said, “Such a precious sacrifice must be used at a critical moment. In three days, there will be a huge sacrifice. At that time, we will send her to the altar as one of the sacrificial offerings to awaken our king.”

“Yes.” Hearing the old man’s words, the people in front nodded respectfully.

When the simple conversation ended, they left and headed to where they should go. Chen Heng followed them and watched as they carried out this sacrificial ceremony.

Miserable cries continued to be heard. In the surroundings, many torture instruments appeared and were placed there. Many enslaved people worked in this place, laboriously carrying out complicated tasks.

As for the Red Lotus Society members, they were there as supervisors. They were there to monitor the enslaved people’s work, making it impossible for them to stop. Under such heavy work and oppression, of course, there would be people who would be dissatisfied. However, it was of no use.
Compared to the power of the Red Lotus Society, the power of these enslaved people was too insignificant. No matter how many people came, they couldn’t resist the oppression.

Occasionally, there would be enslaved people who died of exhaustion or who broke the rules and were killed. The people around them also appeared very indifferent, as if they were not interested in them at all. They were already numb to it. Some special people would come over and send the dead
enslaved people to another place.

It was a burning area. There was a unique smell of decay, rotten meat, and some traces of strange monsters. Chen Heng felt a deep resentment and many spiritual impurities left behind in this place. Many innocent people had died in this place. Many people left their spiritual marks behind and slowly
piled up to form this place.

If it wasn’t for the fact that this area was extraordinary, where not only the Red Lotus Society’s magic formation was located but also some strange monsters lurking and eating the innocent corpses in the flames, the situation in this place was enough to nurture a spirit body.

Chen Heng watched as the members of the Red Lotus Society moved about in this area and roughly understood their daily routines. From Chen Heng’s point of view, the members of the Red Lotus Society had been busy the entire time. They had gathered the enslaved people from all over the place and
built the magic formation here as if they wanted to use it to gather power to achieve some purpose. And the talents they gathered were the core sacrificial offerings.

Chen Heng watched their sacrifice once. It was a scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere. A large amount of blood was scattered, dyeing the ground red. Miserable cries continued to ring out in all directions. However, no one was moved by this, not even Chen Heng, After experiencing so many things,
Chen Heng was already used to such things. He was not moved at all looking at it now.

However, what happened during the sacrificial ceremony surprised Chen Heng. When the sacrificial offerings were offered, the young men and women who were the sacrificial offerings quickly died, but their bodies quickly decayed, as if many years had passed.
Under Chen Heng’s gaze, their flesh and blood quickly dried up, turning into dust and falling off. Soon after, only pale white bones remained. After a while, cracks appeared on the bones. The bones shattered and turned into a pile of powder, piling up on the ground.
Chen Heng stopped to take a look. Around the altar, there was a dense pile of bone powder everywhere, already piled up on a very tall hill. And this represented the countless talents who had died here.

A few Red Lotus Society members quickly stepped forward when the sacrificial offering was over. Under Chen Heng’s gaze, they tore off their long robes and revealed their bodies. Many mysterious and complicated runic marks condensed into a single piece on the bodies of the members of the Red Lotus
Society. It looked like tattoos, and it seemed very strange.

However, when they walked forward, the tattoos began to glow. It was as if some kind of power had stimulated them. When they walked toward the altar, the light from the altar shone on their bodies. Their bodies rapidly changed under the shroud of the crimson radiance.
“Their auras have increased? Chen Heng was in puzzlement and frowned as he sensed the changes in the members of the Red Lotus Society. He could sense that the auras of the Red Lotus members were increasing rapidly.

At first, the strength of these Red Lotus was ordinary. They were just a few professional martial artists and were not worth mentioning to Chen Heng. However, after going through this round of sacrifices and under the enhancement of their strength, their bodies rapidly grew stronger. Some of the
stronger ones had even reached the second rank. This increase in strength surprised Chen Heng.

After a while, the changes in the members disappeared. They retreated to the side silently, changing into new robes. A few more people stepped forward, walking up to the altar.

However, it seemed that their strength had been depleted by more than half this time. The increase in strength was not that terrifying, Although there was still a slight increase, it was already minimal.

“Unfortunately, the quality of the sacrificial offerings this time is still lacking and can only reach such level…” At the side, the old man who had spoken earlier looked at the situation before him and could not help but sigh as he said so.
“Elder, it’s fine.” At the side, a Red Lotus member said respectfully, “In three days, we will be able to send princess Oriel up to the altar. At that time, the power that our King has given to us should be enough for you to break through your limits and reach an even stronger level.”

“Thope so.” Hearing his words, the old man who had been called an elder finally forced a smile on his face.

A moment later, after all the sacrificial offerings were consumed, the Red Lotus members left the place and headed into the distance. Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then took a step forward and followed them. The target he was following was none other than the old man known as the Elder.
After the sacrifice was completed, Elder did not continue to stay there. Instead, he left, heading towards the manor in the distance. From the looks of it, that was the Elder’s residence.

As Chen Heng followed Elder into the manor, the furnishings around him suddenly changed. At a glance, there was a pronounced difference between the place before him and the surroundings. This place was even more magnificent, at least in some details. There were also a lot of servants inside.

Ata glance, this place did not look like the residence of a heretic. Instead, it looked like the residence of a noble. However, unlike a regular noble’s residence, the servants looked a little strange, and their faces were numb. Only when they looked at the old man would their faces instinctively show a trace of
fear and respect.

Chen Heng followed the old man and walked forward silently. The old man did not know about this. After returning to his residence, he walked into his room as usual. Chen Heng did the same.
When the old man reached here, he first made a decent prayer, then walked forward and took out something from the drawer. It was an ancient but ordinary-looking book.

Chen Heng took a look. The words used in this book were very ancient, different from any words that Chen Heng had seen in the past.

However, it was clear that the old man knew the words. Not only did he know, but he was also very familiar with the words.

“Soon, Soon…” Excitement gradually appeared on the old man’s face looking at the book. “As long as I sacrifice Malikado’s daughter, I can take a step forward and regain my youth. My King, please give me more strength…” Sitting there, he muttered to himself. He seemed to have thought of a beautiful
scene at this moment, and his face turned red.

However, in the next moment, he felt that something was wrong. In front of him, the ancient book began to change. There were some golden patterns on it, and a flash of light radiated in all directions. This seemed to be an inexplicable omen as if it was reminding him of something.
Immediately, the old man stood up. The excitement on his face disappeared, and he became especially vigilant. “Who is it?” His movements were swift, and his vigilance was also excellent.

‘When he saw the changes in the ancient book, he immediately understood that something was wrong. He subconsciously exerted all the strength in his body, wanting to leave this place. However, by this time, it was already a little late. Behind him, a faint sigh sounded as if it was a pity.
“Why?” A gentle voice sounded, and the old man’s body froze.

Deep darkness shrouded everything, Then, the old man’s consciousness completely disappeared, and Chen Heng crushed him. Chen Heng looked at the old man’s body that was left behind, and he shook his head. Even though he had never thought of letting the old man live from the start, he was still
alive. Under normal circumstances, the old man would at least be able to live for a few more days. But now, he had to set off immediately.

It wasn’t always a good thing to discover something abnormal too early. However, after destroying the old man’s consciousness, Chen Heng had a few choices. For him, even if he forcefully broke out of this place and took Gunali away, it wouldn’t be a problem.
With the power of this place, no one was his match other than the so-called Black King. The Red Lotus Society’s power was indeed mighty. However, that was only for this star. Based on Chen Heng’s information over the past year, this planet’s power was much weaker than the Qika planet.
In this place, a fourth-rank expert was already a top powerhouse. An existence like Malikado, if the top powerhouse did not make a move, he would be the overlord of a region. It was precisely because the Oriel family had a powerhouse like Malikado that they had such an illustrious position.

And under such circumstances, the old man’s strength was at the peak of the fourth rank. From Chen Heng’s point of view, the old man’s strength was unqualified. Perhaps because most of his strength came from the sacrifice, he did not have the strength to match his rank. However, this did not change
his essence. He was still a top existence among the fourth ranks.

The Red Lotus Society’s strength could be mighty having such an existence on this planet. However, to Chen Heng, it was not a big deal and did not seem to be a problem to attack directly.
However, looking at the ancient book flickering with golden light in front of him, Chen Heng pondered for a moment and eventually gave up on this idea.

“Til just use it reluctantly.” He thought for a moment, then walked towards the old man’s body. A moment later, as Chen Heng’s figure moved forward, the two figures gradually became hazy and began to merge. In the end, Chen Heng’s true spirit entered the old man’s body and occupied it.
A large amount of memories began to pour into his mind. All of the old man’s experiences and the origins of the Red Lotus Society appeared in Chen Heng’s mind one by one.

Before this, even though Chen Heng had crushed the old man’s true spirit and didn’t give him the slightest chance to recover, Chen Heng didn’t destroy the memories that remained in his body. On the contrary, he intentionally saved them to obtain information about the Red Lotus Society and even the
Black King. After all, the title of a King was too sensitive in this world. Chen Heng had no choice but to take it seriously.

As the memories flooded in, some of the doubts in Chen Heng’s heart were gradually solved, and then he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. Before this, Chen Heng had a preconceived impression of the Red Lotus Society because of his respect for the Kings of this world.
He thought it was an organization like the Holy Light, which had a long history and was dedicated to restoring the Black King. However, after obtaining the old man’s memories, Chen Heng realized that it did not seem to be the case.

The old man’s name was Philip. In the past, he was a declining noble of another star. The enemy’s family was hunting down Philip on another star. His own family had already been destroyed. He had barely escaped to Hechi planet and managed to survive.

To take revenge, he had frantically entered all sorts of ancient ruins in an attempt to obtain enough power to take revenge. Most of these attempts had failed. If ancient ruins were that easy to excavate, few people would have died.

Moreover, even if he had succeeded in entering, he might not have gained much. Therefore, out of the one hundred people who attempted to explore the ruins, ninety-nine of them often returned empty-handed or even died within., The only one may not have much to gain.

But Philip was an exception..
