Keep going!
The closer they got to the center of the Great Bright City, the stronger the holy air that intoxicated them became. At the same time, the bizarre sensation became more intense as well, leaving them with goosebumps all over their bodies!
Hence, Dumbo's hands suddenly kicked open a tightly shut house on both sides of the street, revealing what was inside to Xiao Fan and the others.
Inside the house!
Over a hundred white-clothed corpses were hanging from the roof beams. As Dumbo kicked open the house, their bodies swayed gently in the air like kites, almost weightless!
Each white corpse's neck was stretched out as if it would break at any moment, and yet it just wouldn't break!
Their tongues were dangling out as well, their eyes wide open. Their faces were frozen in extreme agony before death, as if they had never been freed from the agony even after so many years!
That was the source of the bizarre sensation in the city!
The Great Bright City, which was originally like a legendary paradise and was filled with a holy aura, was actually a dead city filled with corpses. Moreover, every person who died here was hanged here while they were still alive, all so that the person who had fallen into a deep slumber could be reborn from the dead and become the strongest member of the Corpse Race!
"There are many in this world who believe that the Kingdom of Light is a paradise for all living beings. In the Kingdom of Light, they are immortal and have eternal life!" Finally, Magic Sword sneered unceremoniously as he stared at the hanged corpses. "That is why everyone who had experienced the wonders of the Kingdom of Light yearns for it immeasurably. Anyone who dares to speak ill of the Kingdom of Light would be attacked wildly, even assassinated!"
"That is why I really wonder how these people who were hung alive by the Kingdom of Light that they yearned for, becoming food for others to revive would feel now?"
"These corpses are still alive?" Xingqing's face dropped as she caught the meaning behind Magic Sword's words.
"Of course!" Dumbo interjected. "The Kingdom of Light has a way to keep people alive for a long time. Many who yearn to join the Kingdom of Light are aiming for that ability!"
"Still, that ability of the Kingdom of Light isn't that big of a deal either, because to put it bluntly, it is to pickle people like pickled pork. It's fine if you're alive, but you're better off dead!"
"Pickled pork!" Dumbo's explanation was so vivid that both Xing Qing and Kōjirō looked at each other, their necks suddenly feeling a chill!
As the most powerful force in the Central imperial realm, the Kingdom of Light was a place that countless people yearned to join!
It was said that the Kingdom of Light was the real heaven. There was nothing there, and as long as one became a member of the Kingdom of Light, they could obtain eternal life!
Many of them had reached the end of their lifespan, but they had been guided into the Kingdom of Light. After hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, they had walked out of the Kingdom of Light again.
But now, it seemed that the Kingdom of Light had a dark side that no one knew about.
"It's not good for you to know about the Kingdom of Light too early. It won't be too late to know about it when your strength and realm have reached a certain level!" Xiao Fan said and shook his head, interrupting the discussion about the Kingdom of Light.
Everyone stopped talking and continued to move forward.
Behind them, the pained expressions on the faces of the hundreds of corpses in the room that Dumbo had kicked open changed slightly after Xiao Fan and the others left. If one were to look closely, one would see that they were regretting their actions.
They were definitely still alive and could feel everything that was happening outside, but they were living a life worse than death!
That was why they were filled with regret after hearing the Magic Sword's mockery. Profound regret!
If they had known about the Kingdom of Light's true colors, they would not have joined the Kingdom of Light in such a frenzy. In fact, they did not hesitate to turn against their wives, parents, fellow apprentices, and close friends just to join the Kingdom of Light. Some of them had even injured or killed their friends in rage!
Now, they had been hung here for who knows how many years. Even death was an impossible desire, so who could they blame?
In the end, humans would have to pay the price for their mistakes, and that was their price!
An hour later!
Xiao Fan and the others arrived before a majestic temple, which was very close to the center of the Great Bright City!
This majestic temple was a necessary temple for every Bright City and Great Bright City. It was the Reincarnation Temple!
This was where the Kingdom of Light pickled people!
Xiao Fan stared at the Reincarnation Temple in front of him and stopped moving forward. Then, he stopped moving as if he was waiting for something!
Since Xiao Fan did not move, the others did not move either. They all stood there and waited!
A moment passed quickly!
After waiting for a while, Xiao Fan suddenly raised his hand and pulled. All at once, the great doors of the Reincarnation Temple were forced open with an extremely deep rumble!
Then!
Xiao Fan forcibly pulled the corpse of a grown man out of the Reincarnation Temple. It turned into a meteor in the air and crashed heavily at the feet of Xiao Fan and the others!
At this moment, the Reincarnation Temple was also rumbling loudly. It was as if there were countless thunderbolts running amok in the temple, violently bombarding the surroundings, causing the entire temple to tremble slightly. It was as if the temple was stuck because Xiao Fan had snatched the corpse away!
However, Xiao Fan did not care about the trembling of the Reincarnation Temple. He did not pay any attention to it at all. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the corpse at his feet.
This corpse was different from the other corpses that Xiao Fan and the others had encountered along the way. This was because the other corpses were all dressed in white, but this corpse was dressed in gray. Moreover, one could see that the chest of the corpse in gray was rising and falling violently.
Obviously, it had not been 'reincarnated' and was still in the state of a living person!
Looking at the corpse in gray, Xiao Fan did not say much. He only nodded and then raised his hand. With a flick of his finger, a ray of black light suddenly shot out from Xiao Fan's fingertip and entered the corpse's forehead.
After three to four breaths of time, he slowly opened his eyes with great difficulty and looked at Xiao Fan and the others in front of him in a daze!
At the same time, his body and face were rapidly aging, or rather, reverting back to his original body and face. In the end, he became a hunchbacked old man in gray who was about to wither away. He no longer had the robust appearance of a middle-aged man!
"Old Sun, long time no see!" Xiao Fan looked at the old man in gray who had opened his eyes and said with a smile.
