Chapter 323 Confrontation: How many bowls of noodles did you eat? At this time, Xiao Wu also defeated the last remaining skeleton man. Although the strength of these skeletons is close to the Soul Master level, they seem to have only the instincts of fighting and bloodthirstiness. Therefore, for Xiao Wu, whose physique is greatly enhanced compared to the original work, it is not difficult to break the major joints of the skeletons and make them lose their ability to move. Moreover, this kind of skeleton looked extremely disgusting, so Xiao Wu showed no mercy. Every attack was made with all her strength without using her martial spirit. But even so, she was still able to shatter the skeleton's bones—— This is true whether it is the skeleton of the skeleton man or the skeleton itself. In the end, except for the first skeleton that was shattered by Zhou Qing's attack and finally "vanished into smoke" without any residue left, only three black skeletons were left. Luo Xing suggested: "Once our soul power is restored, let's destroy these three skeletons as well." “That’s not a good idea.” Norman had a different opinion. "These three skeletons are similar to soul guides. The Fallen are actually able to create such things. Maybe someone among the group of people who escaped knows the corresponding manufacturing method... Therefore, these three skeletons cannot be destroyed. I must report them directly to the Holy Temple of Xingluo City and hand them over to the Holy Temple for processing." Since Norman was firm in his attitude, Luo Xing didn't know what to say.
Zhou Qing also took the opportunity to ask about what happened: "What exactly happened here? Even we on the other side of the lake felt the vibration before, it was like a small earthquake." "We don't know the specifics, but maybe there is some special connection between the four skeletons." Norman wasn't so sure. "When we first saw these four skeletons, their aura was comparable to that of a Soul King! However, their own strength was not strong. Even after they were separated, their aura suddenly weakened, as if they were just for show. However, their abilities were really weird - the skeletons themselves seemed to carry some kind of poison that could turn a person black and kill them in an instant. Moreover, after losing their soul power, their soul power would be absorbed by them to strengthen the Great Soul Master bound in them. And when the skeletons were broken, they could be repaired by absorbing the Great Soul Master's blood." "This is like a demon from hell!" "So, this cannot be destroyed directly. It must be handed over to the higher-level Spirit Hall to alert the top leaders and contact the top leaders of the two empires to prevent such strange skeletons from appearing in other places." Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said no more on this topic. He just suggested searching the mountain village, perhaps they could find other useful clues. Norman readily agreed. In the mountain stronghold of Luoxingpo, Zhou Qing actually found the hiding people, and they were none other than the servants and maids who had once delivered meals to Hu Fangyuan. These people were more knowledgeable than ordinary people in the mountain village. They actually understood that the most dangerous place was the safest place. They hid under the cellar instead of escaping with the other people in the mountain village. Moreover, among these people, some had prepared a way out for themselves. Before sneaking out of the City Lord's Mansion, they secretly hid the letters that Hu Fangyuan had exchanged with Darles when he was secretly in Notting City. Dales' handwriting cannot be faked! When the fake Darles arrived with the remaining fifty people, he saw Norman and the others staring at him fiercely. He was stunned at first, then he noticed the servants of the former city lord's mansion and understood what was going on. However, he was still timid and shouted, "Norman, what are you doing?" "Dales, how long are you going to keep pretending?" Norman held up the letter and questioned, "You colluded with the Fallen One and ordered him to gather people to attack the Xiao Mansion in Notting City at night, causing unrest... Now, you provide pregnant women for the Fallen One to practice with! For the sake of power, you are so depraved! Darles, even if you don't have the methods of the Fallen One, you are already comparable to the Fallen One! No, you have become the Fallen One!" Suddenly, nearly a hundred people present were all in an uproar. "Dales is really in collusion with the Fallen!" "I knew he was not a good person!" "Now the evidence is irrefutable! He has nothing to say!" "..." While everyone was discussing, Tang San noticed that some soul masters had quietly left the team. He also quietly left the crowd, chased after them, used hidden weapons to restrict their movements, and temporarily sealed their acupuncture points to prevent them from using their soul power again.
Needless to say, these soul masters must want to go back early to inform the real Darles. But how could Tang San let them get their wish? At the Falling Star Slope, Norman issued an order, shouting, "Soul Masters and soldiers of the Spirit Hall, listen up! From now on, do not let Darles out of your sight!" "Yes!" Suddenly, all the spirit masters and soldiers of the Spirit Hall spoke in unison. The remaining soldiers, soul masters, adventurers, or those who originally belonged to the city lord's faction were somewhat at a loss. Especially the original soldiers of Luoxing City. No matter what crime Darles committed, they cannot resist the orders of the city lord before higher-level officials of the Star Luo Empire come to judge and investigate. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful and even their families would be implicated. However, it is a fact that Darles is colluding with the Fallen! If they don't know right from wrong, what if Darles goes even further and hurts their families? Therefore, they are the most hesitant group of people. "Norman! Do you, Spirit Hall, want to rebel?" The fake Darles also understood that the matter was exposed, but he did not dwell on "his own collusion with the Fallen." After all, he has been with Darles for many years and knows a little about the ways of officialdom. Once he is slandered, no matter it is true or he is being slandered by others, he must not keep proving himself. That will only make himself dirtier. The key is to jump out of the circle of self-proving and change the subject. Therefore, he directly accused Norman of rebelling against the Spirit Hall. as predicted! Norman didn't understand the ins and outs of this, his expression suddenly changed, and he cursed: "Dales, don't spit blood at me! Every year, my Spirit Hall awakens the spirits of all the civilian children on the continent, without asking for any reward, for the benefit of the continent!" "What do you mean you don't want any reward? Aren't the subsidies issued by the Spirit Hall obtained from the two major empires? You haven't spent a penny, but you have won the hearts of the civilians and civilian spirit masters all over the continent. You are really amazing!" The fake Darles raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered. At this moment, those soldiers who were still hesitant finally stood behind the fake Darles. They didn't understand the ins and outs of it, but they instinctively felt that Darles seemed to have the final say, and what Darles said seemed to be true. After all, the soul master subsidies issued by the Spirit Hall really come from the two major empires. As soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, they are theoretically naturally incompatible with the Spirit Hall. "Everyone!" (End of this chapter)
