So it was Ren Hong.
Luo Nan never thought that the answer would come so easily. Any suspicions of bait, a traitor, and the like were instantly swept away.
But the unexpected had to be unexpected.
Luo Nan didn't really understand Ren Hong. He just knew that he was a true big shot in the business of the Bloodflame Order. He was much stronger than Yin Le, who was distracted by other things. Among the priests of the Order, his importance was second only to Lady Halder. Many times, he acted as the substitute priest.
How could such an important person betray just like that?
Several Deep Blue Walkers took up a defensive formation, surrounding Ren Hong within. They were tightly protected, and this directly proved this person's position.
Ren Hong was at the center of the formation. He pressed his palm against the ground and muttered an incantation. Since this was the lowest level of the underground parking lot, there was thick soil beneath the cement floor. Ren Hong used it as a channel to continuously absorb energy. He formed a nearly substantial incantation to bless his body.
A low rumbling sound was heard. Someone was contacting him.
Coincidentally, Luo Nan sensed the two fulcrum points on the other side of the call.
Tian Bang was on the other side. He was in the command center. In front of everyone, he spoke softly, "How is it?"
The image displayed on the central hologram was the real-time situation of the underground parking lot. Several Deep Blue Walkers wore protective visors, but Ren Hong only wore priest robes. He didn't have anything covering him.
Cat Eyes pushed aside the messy hair in front of her eyes and clicked her tongue. Ren Hong was a big shot in Xia City. Of course she recognized him.
Ren Hong also noticed that Tian Bang used the public channel to contact him. His expression was very ugly. But since he had done something, he had to bear the corresponding consequences. In the end, he simply lowered his eyes and focused on the leaping spiritual light on the ground.
"There's already a reaction... The mold is still nearby. It views us as prey. It's greedier and more powerful than we imagined. This means that its basic qualities are extremely good. After becoming a sacrificial artifact, we can hold high expectations. "
Tian Bang inquired, "What about the specific location? Can you control it? "
Ren Hong didn't even raise his head. "You guys from the Restraining Faction are all thinking about this sort of thing."
"... You are too."
"No. I just want to see the perfect Bloodflame Willpower. I want to verify my life's worth of learning. And that businesswoman will never be able to do it in her entire life. "
The scene of the public channel was transmitted to the mission window through Cat Eyes' shared perspective. An impactful answer. This caused Papercut to only send out a dumbstruck emoji. Then, Ren Hong's seemingly unintentional counterattack caused Papercut to be unable to hold back from sending out a voice message.
"F * ck, these guys … Oh my god!"
Cat Eyes also sent a message, "The Bloodflame Order is so awesome. Do you know about the He Clan?"
Xue Lei could only send an "I'm confused" emoji. "Who is this person? What's that 'tie control' faction? "
Papercut kindly introduced Ren Hong's identity to him and said, "The Binding Control Faction is a branch of the Bloodflame Order. It involves the interpretation of the Bloodflame Order's teachings. It's rather complicated, so I'm not too clear on it. But all you need to know is that the Bloodflame Order of Xia City and this control faction are absolutely mortal enemies. "
As he spoke, Papercut was puzzled. "This bro Tian Bang is too direct. Is it really alright to discuss the matters of a secret order in public? He's an active general! "
He Yueyin explained, "At the end of the eighties, the Restraint Faction had already cooperated deeply with the military and participated in many experimental missions. It's just that their secret rank is very high, but their reputation isn't that prominent. I've had dealings with Tian Bang before, but I didn't know that he had such a close relationship with this branch. "
"Then what is this now?"
He Yueyin didn't reply. It was impossible to determine whether this operation was a continuation of the hatred between the Bloodflame Order's factions or a request from the military for in-depth experiments. Or perhaps it was something else.
At this time, the public channel was on the right track. Tian Bang displayed a magnanimous attitude. "Right now, we must capture the remains of the Human-Faced Arachnid. You're the expert. Everything will be done according to your wishes. "
Ren Hong sneered, "Your words are piled with the stench of burning the bridge after crossing the river."
"Hey, as a member of the Restraint Faction, isn't inviting you to control them the greatest sincerity?"
"I hope so."
The conversation between the two continued in a tense and subtle atmosphere. Most of it was due to the influence of the Human-Faced Arachnid. And at this time, the main culprit who exerted this pressure was evaluating the new information:
"This is one of Tian Bang's trump cards."
The Wraith Sign's sharp claws plucked at the stars, touching upon the "window" to the bottom of the target's heart. It was like playing with a glass ball. "The situation is becoming clearer and clearer. We should let the Bloodflame Order enter the battlefield faster. The more hasty the response from both sides, the more advantageous it is for us … … It's decided! "
Luo Nan's eager will led the Wraith Sign's actions. The Wraith Sign circled several more times on the mental plane. It saw an opportunity and suddenly launched.
An unobstructed and ruthless aura rose like a hurricane from nowhere. Ren Hong was operating his spell in the underground parking lot, continuing to strengthen his connection with the Bloodsoul Temple. Suddenly, an earth-shattering disaster came over there!
"Found it … … Oh no!"
The Wraith Sign's killing intent surged in the boundary between the mental and the material, tearing apart the sacred space created by Ren Hong's spell.
Ren Hong raised his head fiercely. His eyes, strengthened by the spell, could already see the Human-Faced Arachnid baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The distance between the two was extremely close, so close that it broke through the bottom line of his mind.
Ren Hong looked at the wraith shadow pouncing at him in a daze. He actually lost the ability to react for a time.
In the next moment, a blazing white wall of fire rose between him and the Human-Faced Arachnid. It scorched the air and burned through space.
The Format of Fire!
The Human-Faced Arachnid suddenly vanished.
It was as if Ren Hong had just woken up from a dream. His left hand instantly raised to his chest, pressing down on the irregular stone talisman outside his priest robe. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "It's attacking me!"
"Tie it down!"
In the frontline command center, Tian Bang's figure turned from stillness to pounce out. He didn't run towards the main door. Instead, he crashed straight into the outer glass curtain wall. As the glass shards splashed and fell, a human figure ran madly along the nearly vertical curtain wall.
Whether it was an ability user or a Burner, they all loved to take this kind of shortcut in the metropolis.
Tian Bang no longer had any confidence in the effectiveness of the mental smoke from the confrontation on the mental plane. However, the Format of Fire should be different.
"Do you want to follow?" Cat Eyes sent Luo Nan a private message once more.
Luo Nan didn't respond. Right now the area his consciousness touched was gushing with flames, warping the boundary between the material plane and the mental plane.
The five Deep Blue Walkers were all experienced warriors. Their reactions were nearly synchronized in the face of this sudden crisis. Their combined attack technique revealed a powerful sense of order. While simultaneously warping the material plane and the mental plane, they also had the ability to "shape". They built a firm domain barrier that was both offensive and defensive. It was practically the bane of the chaos type Human-Faced Arachnid.
However, the Human-Faced Arachnid they were facing right now was the Wraith Sign. It was a special existence controlled by Luo Nan's consciousness. Behind the appearance of chaos, there was actually a strict framework of order that supported it. There were layers of depth that were hard to imagine.
The Wraith Rune climbed on the 'floating curtain', and like a spider with thin threads, it easily switched the depth of the mental plane.
The shallow zone, the middle zone … … Then it jumped back to the shallow zone. In this process of going back and forth, the Wraith Sign had already scanned the strict barrier of the Format of Fire from several dozen different angles.
Perhaps it could be described like this: Under the three-dimensional perspective, no matter how tightly the lines were piled up, it was still nothing more than a sheet of paper.
The demonic eyes were radiant with color and the six colors were bewildering. An incorporeal attack pierced out from the extreme depths of the mental plane. It pierced through the flames as if it was piercing through an illusory bubble. Then came the attack that shocked the soul.
Siege Hammer!
A Deep Blue Walker froze in a daze. He suddenly sank into unconsciousness, turning into a meaningless steel sculpture. He was no longer able to provide the output of the Format of Fire.
A corner of the curtain of fire warped and shattered in an instant. The high level of order was warped, forcing the other four Deep Blue Walkers to readjust the order of their joint attack. But the flaw had already appeared. How difficult would it be to readjust it?
The flames of the underground parking lot dimmed quite a bit in an instant.
The specter of the Human-Faced Arachnid was already extremely close to the material plane. It flashed within the flames, stepping over the raging flames of the Format of Fire in a nearly mocking manner.
"Ah!"
Fear dominated Ren Hong's movements. His left hand, which had been holding the protective stone slip, suddenly increased its strength, crushing the precious object in his palm to pieces. In an instant, a blood-like thickness and blood-colored radiance flowed out from the cracks of his fingers. The surrounding temperature was actually able to suddenly rise another chunk from the high temperature of the Format of Fire.
The skin and flesh of Ren Hong's palms and fingers were burned to the point of lacerating. But from his perspective, it was still worth it.
The air was severely warped, and the distortion was even greater on the mental plane. The high-temperature bloody radiance formed a new and powerful source of interference. The mental curtain that the Wraith Sign had hooked earlier swayed and drifted, causing a deviation in the originally chaotic and orderly structure. It affected the Wraith Sign's instant positioning.
Ren Hong seized this opportunity. His left hand, which was lacerated with flesh, pressed down. He raised his right hand and formed a seal on his lower abdomen. Then he stomped down heavily with one foot, causing the cement floor to split open with a bang. Leaping spiritual radiance sputtered out from the cracks. It was dyed by the bloody radiance that flowed out from the cracks of his fingers, turning it blood red in an instant.
"Blood blood blood!"
"Fire fire fire!"
The praises of hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people gushed out wrapped in spiritual radiance. Ren Hong slowly knelt on the ground. With a pious posture, he placed the seals formed by his hands down. His palms stuck to the ground and his waist bent down as if he was performing a great salute.
The Wraith Sign was just about to reorganize its attack, but it was stifled.
The Bloodsoul Temple within buzzed and trembled. It seemed as if the tip of a pen was scratching on the craggy structure of the mountain. It advanced from bottom to top, layer by layer, transforming into runes. The runes were internalized and quickly formed an enormous restraining force.
Eighty kilometers away, Luo Nan frowned slightly. Some extremely active elements followed the Bloodsoul Temple, followed the Wraith Sign, and seeped into the interior of Luo Nan's sealed system. Then it began to grow wildly.
