The group observed it for a long time from one kilometer away, but they were unable to discover the profoundness behind it. Instead, when they saw wave after wave of people entering the light screen, they finally mustered their courage and came before it.
The four of them tested it out, and Charlot pretended not to know anything. Eventually, their greed won over their rationality, and Yue Shan and the others decided to step into the light screen one by one.
However, before they entered, Yue Shan persuaded, "Xianru, we don't know what's going on inside. Wait for us outside first."
Yue Xianru hugged Yue Shan's hand, swayed it, and said coquettishly, "Father, please bring me in. You're a level 29 Conferred Knight. How can ordinary experts be a match for you? Moreover, it'll be dangerous for me to stay outside alone. "
Yue Shan thought about it and agreed, but he could not stand his adorable daughter's coquettish behavior. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that he would protect his daughter even if he had to die. In the end, he brought Yue Xianru along with him.
Upon entering the formation, they felt as if the world was spinning, and time and space seemed to have become extremely chaotic. At the next moment, a chaotic Imperial Capital appeared before them.
The entire Imperial Capital's appearance had changed. The streets were in a mess, like many mazes, and there were houses and walls that had been forcefully pieced together. The entire Imperial Capital seemed to be in someone's strange dream.
Charlot knew that the entire Imperial Capital had been dragged out of the timeline by the Purple Mage King, turning into an existence that was like an alternate world.
Any experts outside the Imperial Capital were no longer able to sense the situation within with their Sudden Inspiration.
"There's no need to worry," Charlot explained. "Although it looks like there are changes, I've observed it in detail. The general structure of the entire Imperial Capital hasn't changed. I'll still be able to find the secret vault."
"Follow me."
Under Charlot's lead, the group continued to head deeper into the Imperial Capital. Along the way, they also encountered other people. Thankfully, with Yue Shan around, the ordinary Knights and Conferred Knights did not make a move on them.
A few minutes later, Yue Shan's countenance suddenly changed. "Stop!"
Everyone looked at him, puzzled. However, Yue Shan looked toward a small alley at the side. Under everyone's astonished gazes, a white-haired old man walked out slowly. There were slightly distorted spatial ripples next to the old man, displaying his extremely majestic powers.
Within his body, the roars of lions and tigers could be faintly heard.
Yue Shan half-knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Senior Beast God."
Clayde and Yue Xianru's countenance also changed, and they half-knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Lord Beast God."
Seeing that Charlot was in a daze, Yue Xianru quickly pulled him down and said, "Why are you in a daze? This is the Eastern Sand Region's Lord Beast God, the leader of the Myriad Beasts Hall, a Demigod expert with four tiers of perfection. "
The old man who was addressed as Beast God glanced at them and said, "So it's Yue Shan. Hmph, for the sake of your father, I'll let it go …"
At the same time, he glanced at Yue Xianru and chuckled, "Yue Xianru? You're really getting better and better looking. The Eastern Sand Region's Five Golden Flowers really do live up to their reputation. "
Due to Yue Xianru's cute and mischievous looks, as well as her cultivation talent, she and the other four beautiful Knights were known as the Eastern Sand Region's Five Golden Flowers. She was the dream lover of countless young Knights.
As he spoke, the Beast God disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yue Shan let out a deep breath. "Thank goodness, thank goodness. This Beast God is getting more and more terrifying. He can probably attain a breakthrough to the Divine level at any moment now. "
Yue Xianru said in astonishment, "He can attain a breakthrough to the Divine level at any moment now?"
Clayde nodded and said, "The Beast God is one of the top five experts in our Eastern Sand Region. Although he lives in seclusion, his cultivation has never fallen behind. After the world's metamorphosis, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. It's said that the reason why he hasn't stepped into the Divine level is because he wants to raise his cultivation to five tiers of perfection, enter that unprecedented realm, and strive for the Divine level."
Yue Xianru's face frowned as she said worriedly, "Even he has come? It seems that there are really a lot of people gathered for the evil god ritual this time around. Father, are we still going to continue? "
A hint of hesitation appeared on Yue Shan's face.
Charlot quickly persuaded, "You guys don't have to be so worried. The Imperial Capital is very big, and it won't be so easy to encounter experts. Moreover, the secret vault we're heading to is very well-hidden, and it's unlikely that we'll encounter those unparalleled experts. "
Under Charlot's persuasion, everyone was still tempted by the underground vault, and they once again headed deeper into the Imperial Capital.
However, the Beast God's appearance was like a signal, and everyone saw more and more experts. They even saw many Conferred Knights, and even Demigods, fighting against each other.
Terrifying thunderbolts cut across the sky, and explosive fist forces smashed a large area of the streets. Many buildings were sent flying into the sky …
"Lightning King! Do you want to make an enemy out of our Flying Clouds Peak?
"Crimson Hand, hand over the Netherworld God Herb and I'll spare your life!"
Furious bellows and furious howls rang out, and many battles broke out in the Imperial Capital. Charlot knew that it was because Alexander had scattered a large amount of rare treasures that the royal family had kept in the Imperial Capital. He wanted to incite countless experts to fight against each other, making use of their grievances, killings, and sacrifices to increase the success rate of the ritual.
Under Charlot's guidance, the group carefully passed through many battlefields. Sometimes, when they encountered some ordinary Conferred Knights, they could also rely on Yue Shan's abilities to chase them away.
The many battles made everyone increasingly astonished, and Yue Xianru could not help but want to retreat. However, she was stopped by Yue Shan. At this point, neither he nor Clayde would be able to accept it if they did not take something with them.
However, Charlot knew that it was too late even if they wanted to go back now.
Three hours later, the group finally arrived before a circular transparent crystal. The transparent crystal was like a big mirror, and it lay flat on an altar on the ground.
Under Charlot's lead, the group stepped onto the crystal on the altar and instantly turned into a bolt of lightning, dissipating into the air.
By the time everyone regained their senses, they had already appeared in a huge white square. It was unknown what the white square was made of. It looked boundless, and there was only a square that looked like jade under their feet.
In the center of the square, there was a red vortex that kept on spinning to and fro. It looked like a vortex that was condensed from countless amounts of blood.
At the bottom of the blood-colored vortex was an old man dressed in golden robes. His long sleeves drooped down to the ground, covering his entire palms. He wore a tall golden crown on his head, and his beard was so long that it reached his chest.
Many distorted shadows darted out from behind the old man. Those shadows looked very similar to the old man, just like how he looked when he was a child, when he was young, when he was middle-aged, and when he was old.
This old man was the strongest expert in the Gold Robed faction, a person who stood at the pinnacle of gold faction black magic — the Gold Mage King.
