Walking into the spacious tent, the originally densely packed figures had become sparse. Including Adil himself, only a few people were still inside.
Adil looked around. At this moment, most of the people in the tent were close to Leon. Even a few of them seemed distant, but in fact, they had a close relationship with each other in secret. They were absolute confidants.
Seeing this, Adil understood.
"I'm sorry. There were too many people here before. In order to prevent our conversation from being leaked, I called all of you here," Leon said sincerely.
"I wouldn't dare." Venus smiled. "We should be careful about this. The governor's decision is not wrong."
"That's right." The others around him also agreed.
"Let's not talk too much." Seeing everyone's attitude, Leon nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at Adil and said solemnly, "Ximu, you said that the tomb's power hasn't fully erupted. Is this true?"
"It's true." Adil nodded lightly and said, "If I'm not wrong, the power displayed now is not even one-tenth of the tomb's full power."
"One-tenth!" Everyone was shocked. Even Venus couldn't help but reveal a shocked and fearful expression. Evidently, he was very surprised by this result.
"As expected." Leon wasn't surprised when he heard this news. Instead, he laughed coldly. "I just felt that there was something wrong with the tomb. I didn't expect it to be like this."
"The royal family is also stupid. They were actually fooled by a curse. When the curse fully erupts, they will be crying."
With a sneer on his face, he looked at Adil again. "Ximu, when will the King's Tomb completely erupt?"
"Tomorrow." Adil quietly glanced at Lyon, then calmly said the answer he had guessed in his heart.
"Tomorrow." Leon's expression changed. Hearing this answer, his expression became uncertain.
After a long while, he looked at his subordinates, whose expressions changed drastically, and spoke again, "A few days ago, Governor Aika sent someone over and secretly told me that the King's Tomb is about to erupt."
"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when Ximu said it today, I realized it was most likely true."
Hearing this news, Adil was a little surprised.
The reason why he was able to know that the King's Tomb was about to erupt was because he had peeked at the Wheel of Destiny before. Coupled with his powerful mental strength, he was able to determine the exact time.
The others didn't have the Travel Arcana, nor did they have a powerful mental strength like him, but they knew that the King's Tomb was about to explode. This surprised him.
However, even though he was surprised, he didn't think too much about it.
The King's Tomb had been built over thousands of years. During this long period of time, there would always be some inside information leaked out and obtained by some Psychic Clans.
The others knew the inside story. Combining it with the current situation, although it was unexpected for them to come to the conclusion that the King's Tomb was about to erupt, it was not too strange.
… …
"After everyone goes back, find a reason to reorganize your subordinates. Even if you retreat and cause the royal family to blame you, it doesn't matter."
Sitting at the top, Leon's face was gloomy as he issued his final order, "I will contact the governors of the other regions. When the curse erupts tomorrow, we will immediately take action!"
"Yes!" The people below him nodded and then dispersed, walking out.
Walking out of the tent, Adil could clearly feel Leon's aura in the same place. Although Leon's figure was still in front of him, it was only a puppet and not the main body.
"Looks like I can't hold back today."
Shaking his head, this thought flashed through Adil's mind.
The curse would erupt tomorrow. If Leon's subordinates began to retreat, the traces would be too obvious. It would easily alert the enemy and cause the royal family to question them.
If the curse really erupted tomorrow, it would be fine. However, if the curse did not erupt tomorrow, then it would be troublesome.
Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Adil had to take action. He would use his powerful individual strength to make up for the gap and fill in the gaps for those people during this period of time.
Of course, to Adil, this was not a big deal.
"The curse of the Royal Tomb is about to erupt. If there are no accidents, this should be the last harvest. I have to grasp this opportunity."
With these thoughts in mind, Adil continued to walk forwards. With every step he took, his body gave off a faint light, making him look quite extraordinary.
That day, the entire Royal Tomb violently trembled, accompanied by howls of anguish. Almost half of the people in the Royal Tomb could sense this.
"Sim, you've gone too far."
That night, looking at the traces that Adil had left behind during the day, Leon bitterly smiled.
Beside him, looking at the cracked ground in the distance and the eerie white bones that could be seen everywhere, Venus and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost, their hearts filled with respect.
Normally, because they rarely had the chance to go all out, they did not have a clear impression of Adil's power. Even though they knew that he was very powerful, they did not know exactly how powerful he was.
It was only today, in order to harvest World Energy, that Adil had gone all out. Only then did they understand just how terrifying Adil's power was.
With each strike, the mountains crumbled and the earth cracked. Those white skeletons that could not be killed no matter how many times they were hit did not even have the ability to get close to Adil. They were directly smashed into a pile of powder and could not be more dead than they already were.
The Royal Tomb covered an area of tens of thousands of meters, but after Adil had gone all out during the day, cracks had appeared on the ground, showing just how terrifying it was.
This sort of terrifying power had even alarmed the royal family. If there were no accidents, there would be corresponding measures in a few days. They would either try to rope him in or completely kill him.
"Forget it. Even though it's a bit risky, it's not like there are no benefits to doing this."
Looking at Adil, Leon smiled and changed the topic, "As for the other governors, after seeing Adil's power, they've become much easier to talk to this time. They also believe the information that Ximu has come up with, and they're willing to send people to work with us when the time comes.
"Of course, when the time comes, we'll have to see the situation. If there are no changes in the Royal Tomb, they won't …"
Leon stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence. His face first revealed an astonished expression, and then it turned into horror.
The ground was shaking, and the entire Royal Tomb was continuously shaking. It was as if something was breaking free from its chains and was about to walk out from the depths of the Royal Tomb.
Following the shaking of the ground, they turned to look at the depths of the Royal Tomb. There, waves of blue aura spread out, and countless corpses started to awaken, giving off a rotting stench as they walked out.
"It's actually starting now!"
The scene before them was incredibly shocking, and even Leon was momentarily stunned. He subconsciously muttered in disbelief.
Looking at the huge corpses that were starting to walk out from the distance, Adil's eyes were gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The shocking scene before them was a sign that the curse was starting to break out. The corpses that had been accumulating in the Royal Tomb for thousands of years were going to break out all at once, and the power that erupted was unstoppable. In just a few days, the entire Royal Capital would be wiped out.
However, what Adil didn't expect was that the time for the curse to break out had actually been brought forward. Not only was it not going to break out the next day, but it was going to start that very night.
"Governor, give the order immediately. We must leave as soon as possible!"
Among the crowd, Venus was the first to react, and she hurriedly pulled Leon back, "Compared to the other governors, we have more preparations. If we run now, there's a high chance that we can escape!"
"Okay!" At this moment, seeing that the situation had reached this stage, Leon no longer hesitated and decisively gave the order, "Bring the things that we've prepared. Venus, you take our people and leave immediately."
"Ximu, you go to the front. Although it's night now, with such a big battle in front of us, the people from the Royal Family will definitely react quickly and be on guard at the entrance."
"Your task is to wait for us to bring our people and open the way for us. You don't need to go all out against the power of the Royal Family. You just need to open an exit for us!"
"Okay." Adil nodded, then strode out, ready to take action.
"Governor, what about the others?" At this moment, someone asked.
"The others, the traitors, don't need to inform them." Speaking of this, Leon's expression instantly became ferocious, "Let them stay and fight the curse here!"
As the order was given, the people began to move continuously.
Thanks to Adil's previous reminders and Leon's previous arrangements, their ability to react to this sudden incident was much faster than the others.
Taking advantage of the fact that the others had not reacted, they had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared. They directly abandoned most of the people and only brought a small number of direct descendants to break out of the encirclement.
With the cover of the others, taking advantage of the night, their breakout seemed to be very smooth at first, and it didn't take long for them to reach the entrance of the King's Tomb.
At this point, according to the previous agreement, Adil took a deep breath, then took a step forward.
Bang!!
Violent explosions rang out continuously. In the darkness, everyone present seemed to see a silver moon pouring down its radiance, shining endless light on the ground, followed by a terrifying explosion.
Adil used all his strength, and with just one blow, he pierced through the defense line outside the entrance, forcibly creating a gap.
"Now's the time, go!"
Looking at the defense line that was temporarily left open by the moonlight, Leon was overjoyed, and hurriedly commanded the team to rush out.
However, at this moment, he realized that as the defense line outside was forcefully broken by Adil, there were far more people than he had imagined.
Including the few teams that he had contacted earlier, at least five to six teams appeared at this time, all of them rushing out along the broken defense line.
Seeing this scene, Leon's expression instantly turned cold.
Don't treat others as fools, or else you might very well be the one being fooled. The scene in front of him clearly illustrated this principle.
The scenes of Adil attacking during the day had been seen by these people, so at this time, all of them were lying in wait, waiting for Adil to attack, so that they could hitch a ride and escape together.
