"These are all alive?"
Standing there and looking at these stone slabs, Chen Heng thought to himself.
These stone slabs were all alive.
At the very least, they had once been alive.
Those spiritual imprints were undoubtedly the remnants of lives that had passed away. In the end, they had been suppressed and sealed in those stone slabs.
From the eulogies, it seemed that the mental imprints within these stone slabs were powerful beings who had once fought against the Black King.
After being suppressed and killed by the Black King, these life imprints had been sealed within the stone slabs and became the Black King's spoils of war.
"These are all good things …"
Standing there, thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but have a thought.
The imprints on the stone slabs might be useless to others, and they were merely spoils of war to show off their achievements.
However, to Chen Heng, these things were very useful.
These imprints contained the life information of those powerful beings.
If he used this life information and fused it into other lifeforms, he might be able to achieve unexpected results.
At the very least, he could use the Heaven Devouring Scripture to devour all of these imprints and use them as fuel.
These imprints could be devoured as powerful bloodlines.
If he could devour them all, they would be incredibly beneficial.
Even though Chen Heng could not use them, Little Red would be able to.
There were tens of thousands of stone slabs here, and if he could devour all of the imprints, Little Red's strength would continue to rise and reach a whole new level.
This was a great benefit.
As expected, there was no such thing as trash in this world.
In just a short while, Chen Heng had found such a great benefit.
"Looks like coming here was the right decision …"
Standing there and looking at the words in front of him, Chen Heng had a playful look on his face as he thought to himself.
Gunali had carried out Chen Heng's orders and had taken the bone fragment with her.
She had made that bone fragment into a necklace and carried it with her.
As such, when Gunali had been teleported away, Chen Heng had quickly discovered it.
He was residing in the broken bones, and when Gunali was teleported here, he also came here with her.
After arriving here, he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he secretly observed his surroundings, preparing to observe them carefully.
The Red Lotus Association had always been a very mysterious organization.
In the past, because the Red Lotus Society had attempted to harm his daughter, Malik had spent a great deal of effort to investigate this organization.
It was just that this organization was too mysterious, and it was impossible to obtain too much information. All they knew was that this organization had migrated from a foreign planet and had concealed themselves very well.
Malik racked his brains, but he was only able to find out some information that was hard to distinguish between true and false. As for some specific information, such as the location of the Red Lotus Association and its members, he was unable to find out anything.
The only thing he knew was that this organization seemed to be very interested in people with extraordinary potential. They often traveled around and used all kinds of methods to obtain such people.
As for the purpose of acquiring these people, no one knew whether it was for training or for something else.
They also rarely acted impulsively like the others. No matter what they did, they were always sneaky.
Perhaps this was also the reason why they were unwilling to clash with Malick even though they had sufficient strength. Even if they wanted Gunali, they wanted to obtain it through negotiations with Malick.
Because if they were to break through and fight with the Olivier family, they might more or less be exposed.
This was probably not what they wanted.
"Black King …"
Standing there and muttering this name, many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
Black King – this was a name that Chen Heng was also unfamiliar with.
It was just that in this world, the title of King was not something that could be used so easily.
For example, the Gold King also had the title of King.
Within the Round Table Faction, even though the five Knights were powerful enough to rival Kings, they did not dare to call themselves Kings.
Evidently, in this world, the title of King was not something that just anyone could use.
Unless one was powerful or had a high status, one could not use it.
In that case, just what did this Black King and the King behind him represent?
Was it just an ordinary title, or did it represent the level of a King like the Gold King?
Standing there, Chen Heng's expression was calm as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, after thinking about it, it seemed that this Black King was not an ordinary person.
Putting aside everything else, just from the tens of thousands of stone slabs, this Black King's strength was not to be underestimated.
He was most likely a terrifying figure who had once stood at the peak of the universe.
It was just that he did not know if he was as terrifying as the Gold King.
"A Gold King, a Black King …"
Standing there, a thought flashed in Chen Heng's mind, and he could not help but smile, "I wonder what will happen if I drag Yao Yao here."
Lu Yao was the reincarnation of the Gold King and the inheritor of the Gold Mark.
As for this so-called Red Lotus Association, it was said that it was to awaken the Black King and allow him to once again descend into the world.
Once the two of them met, who knew what kind of reaction would occur?
However, it seemed that the scene would be quite interesting.
Chen Heng smiled as he thought to himself.
Standing there, he continued to look at the eulogies and explore the palace.
He walked around and explored the entire palace in front of him.
Whether it was the stone slabs or the boy who had given Gunali a fright, Chen Heng looked through them all.
In the corners of the palace, there were some people like that girl from before who were still alive, not daring to move at all.
After looking through them, Chen Heng found that the rumors about the Red Lotus Association were indeed true.
The people who survived in this palace, be it Gunali, the girl named Mary, or anyone else, had decent potential.
There was no need to say much about Gunali; she had awakened her special ability, and her bloodline was incredibly noble even within the Olier family. She had the most potential Chen Heng had ever seen, and she was not inferior to Lu Yao at all.
As for Mary, Chen Heng could tell that she had great potential. She had the talent to become a Beast Tamer, and if she had the right person to teach her, her future achievements would be quite good.
This was the same for everyone else.
"Searching for so many geniuses just to worship the Black King; this is simply …"
As he walked through the palace, Chen Heng sensed the auras of the people around him and inwardly shook his head.
Chen Heng did not approve of the Red Lotus Association's actions.
Perhaps the Black King was indeed powerful, but in the end, he was already dead.
On the other hand, people like Gunali represented the future.
Using the boundless hope of the future to exchange for the glory of the past was not something that Chen Heng could do.
Moreover, they might not be able to revive him.
From Chen Heng's perspective, if he could carefully nurture these geniuses, they might be able to achieve great things in the future. He could quickly expand the Red Lotus Society's strength to an even greater level.
When the Red Lotus Association's strength reached its peak, it would naturally be much easier to revive the Black King.
If it was Chen Heng, he would do this.
However, different people had different thoughts and situations, so they couldn't be generalized.
As such, Chen Heng could only shake his head.
After looking around, he turned around and looked in Gunali's direction.
In that corner, the moonlight shined on Gunali and Mary's bodies, giving them a layer of silver clothes.
In the corner, Gunali had once again fallen asleep. She was lying on Mary's body and did not look like she was sleeping at all.
Mary sat on the ground, her legs resting on Gunali's head. She looked quite helpless, but she carefully took off a coat and put it on Gunali to prevent her from catching a cold.
It seemed that she was a good girl.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng smiled and did not do much.
Ever since he had followed Gunali here, he had concealed his presence so that Gunali couldn't sense his presence.
In the past, it would have been quite difficult to do this.
However, a year had passed, and Chen Heng's strength had recovered somewhat. Moreover, because of his research, he had gained some understanding of Gunali's Soul ability, and his understanding of it had greatly increased.
Now, if Chen Heng wanted to, it would not be difficult for him to conceal himself from Gunali's senses.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Chen Heng would not do such a thing.
However, this was an unexpected situation.
On one hand, Gunali was still a child, and if she knew of Chen Heng's existence, something unexpected might happen.
On the other hand, Chen Heng wanted Gunali to experience more.
In the past, because of Mallikdo, Gunali had been protected too well.
This protection came from Mallikdo's love for Gunali, as well as a misunderstanding.
Within the Ollier Family, because Gunali didn't show any outstanding talent for cultivation when she was young, she didn't even have the talent to become a beast tamer. As a result, the Ollier Family's clansmen generally believed that although Gunali's bloodline was outstanding, her talent was ordinary.
This was not strange at all.
The Olier family's bloodline was powerful, and those with the Olier family's bloodline would often have extraordinary talent. The more powerful one's bloodline was, the greater the chance of one's talent being great.
However, sometimes, it was possible for one's bloodline to be powerful but one's talent to be weak.
In the past, there had been many such examples.
With these examples, perhaps in the eyes of Mallikdo and the others, Gunali was also in the same situation.
Her bloodline was powerful, but her talent was not great.
Because of this, Mallikdo did not nurture Gunali well.
He gave Gunali the best conditions he could, but he did not nurture her in the direction of an extraordinary being.
Therefore, Gunali's past was a little too comfortable.
However, in actuality, Gunali's talent was not inferior to anyone else's.
From how Chen Heng saw it, Gunali was like Lu Yao in the past.
In the past, Lu Yao's talent was also very powerful, or else she would not have been chosen by others to carry the Golden Mark.
It was just that in the past, due to various reasons, Lu Yao's talent had been hidden, resulting in her living as an ordinary person and not being able to develop her talent.
Correspondingly, this was the same for Gunali.
It was not that Gunali did not have enough talent; in fact, her talent was very powerful and could compare to Lu Yao's.
It was just that her talent needed to be developed by others.
This was a good opportunity for him.
Because of Chen Heng's existence, this experience was a daunting one for Gunali, but not a dangerous one.
This kind of experience was quite rare for her.
As such, Chen Heng did not plan to interfere and was prepared to let nature take its course.
With that in mind, Chen Heng did not meet with Gunali, and he did not even let her sense his existence. He only silently wandered around.
The palace in front of him was very big, and there were many things hidden in it.
It could be seen that this palace was quite old, at least 100 years old.
From this palace, it could be seen that the Red Lotus Society had taken root in the Hechi planet for a long time.
Chen Heng thought to himself as he continued to look around.
Soon, a day had passed.
The next day, the sun rose, and the faint sunlight dispelled the haze and the cold feeling within the palace.
Gunali woke up in a daze. At this moment, she felt a little more comfortable.
During the day, the malice within the stone slabs seemed to have been reduced, and it was not as unbridled as it was at night.
Gunali felt much better after hearing that.
"How did it feel last night?"
Mary's voice sounded out.
Gunali raised her head and looked at the clothes she was wearing. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you …"
"You're welcome."
Mary waved her hand and smiled as she prepared to say something to Gunali.
A sound came from the outside world, interrupting Mary's words.
Mary's smile disappeared as she got up, and she looked in that direction.
Under her gaze, the door of the palace in the distance opened, revealing the light.
Then, many figures wearing red robes and masks rushed into the palace.
After coming to the palace, they did not say anything and started to search the surroundings.
A wave of crying sounded out.
As these black-robed people moved, they grabbed people and forcefully brought them out.
This included the boy who had scared Gunali to the point that she had gone crazy.
He still looked the same as last night; his rotting face had maggots crawling about, making him look incredibly nauseating.
In the process of being taken, he was still muttering to himself, uttering a series of incomprehensible sounds, and it was impossible to know what he was saying.
The entire scene happened very quickly and was quite messy.
However, during this entire process, these black-robed people did not say anything.
Gunali watched this entire process from the side and felt quite depressed.
To the young Gunali, she did not understand what it meant to be a sacrifice.
However, this did not stop her from realizing that this was not a good thing.
In addition, she also felt a dense malice from the people in front of her.
Apart from Mary beside her, everyone else seemed to be hostile towards Gunali.
Sensing all of this, Gunali's body couldn't help but curl up and shrink towards where Mary was.
Mary hugged her tightly and stroked her head comfortingly, telling her not to panic.
"It's not our turn yet; they won't do anything to us …"
Looking at Gunali, she said softly, "Don't be afraid …"
"Will it be our turn next?"
Gunali raised her head and asked.
Mary fell silent before nodding.
Gunali's body trembled, seeming to be quite afraid.
Looking at Gunali, Mary wanted to comfort her, but after thinking about it, she could only sigh and do not say anything.
After a while, after the surrounding people were taken away, others walked in.
They looked quite normal, and they all had numb looks on their faces.
They walked in from the outside and placed some food in front of Gunali and Gunali.
After doing this, they turned and left.
Following this, the palace's doors closed without leaving any gaps.
Everything gradually quieted down.
Apart from the lack of some indistinct sounds, nothing seemed to have changed.
It was just that no one knew that before the palace's doors closed, a figure that ordinary people could not see also walked out.
Chen Heng followed behind the group of servants and continued onwards.
He could sense that the people in front of him all carried a strange aura.
This aura was very unique and seemed to have some sort of corrosive nature. It penetrated deep into their bones and flesh and fused with them.
There was a mysterious power hidden within these people's bodies.
"Is it a curse? Or is it something else? "
Following behind these people and sensing their strange auras, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Compared to the curse on Mallikdor, the power of these people was more like a curse.
However, from the outside, this strange aura did not seem to bring these people any harm.
Putting aside the people wearing crimson robes, who were most likely members of the Red Lotus Association, even the ordinary servants behind them did not seem to be affected at all. In fact, their strength seemed to have increased to a certain extent.
It seemed that this curse did not have much effect on people.
Chen Heng looked at their auras with interest as he thought to himself.
Soon, they came to another region.
"How is the Olier family's princess?"
A voice sounded out from ahead.
