Wenn Yongshou's face went from pale to livid upon hearing these words. In the end, he glared fiercely at Chen Fei but ultimately decided to let the matter drop for now. He was powerless; alone, he didn't dare to challenge Chen Fei any further.
Seeing this, Prince Schumacher breathed a long sigh of relief. He turned to Wenn Tianxiong with a smile and said, "Mr. Wenn Tianxiong, you've arrived so late, I was beginning to think you'd had a last-minute change of heart and decided to forgo the treasures within the seal."
"How could I not co? I'm counting on finding the treasures I desire within that seal! I was rely delayed by so urgent business on the way. But Prince, what you told before... is it really true? Inside that Sealing Ground, aside from the extrely weakened Demon of the Holy Domain, are there truly the remains of a powerful Qi Practitioner from our Eastern legends?" Wenn Tianxiong's eyes flashed as he spoke, his tone cold.
Evidently, he had co today for the sa reason as Chen Fei, Young Master Chen: for the remains of the Qi Practitioner from the East and any treasures he might have left behind.
"Of course, it's true," Prince Schumacher said with a grin. "Mr. Wenn Tianxiong, you must have seen it when you ca in just now, right? The seal on that stone gate is quite different from the Magic Formations of our Western Dark World."
"Yes, that is indeed one of our Eastern Formations," Wenn Tianxiong imdiately nodded. Then, he frowned and added slowly, "But that alone doesn't seem to prove anything, does it?"
"And what if I, Schumacher... have personally seen the remains of that powerful Easterner?" Schumacher's next words took everyone completely by surprise.
"What did you say? You've seen it with your own eyes? Doesn't that an you've already been inside?" Holy Magister lsdom asked with a frown.
"Of course," Prince Schumacher retorted. "Otherwise, how could I be so familiar with the situation inside the Sealing Ground?"
"In that case, please, Prince Schumacher, elaborate on the situation inside. If we can understand it in advance, it will certainly be a great help to our plans!" Wenn Tianxiong imdiately said, his expression serious. As the saying goes, to be forewarned is to be foreard. Having prior knowledge of the specifics would undoubtedly be for the best.
"There's no need to rush, gentlen. I will explain, of course." Prince Schumacher took in everyone's expressions. A complicated look settled on his face as he continued slowly, "I imagine... you all still rember Prince Maolirudo of the Brad Family, don't you?"
"Prince Maolirudo? Of course, we rember. But didn't he mysteriously vanish all of a sudden years ago? What does this have to do with him?" Wenn Tianxiong, lsdom, and the others imdiately frowned. It turned out that the Brad Family once had two mbers at the level of a Blood Clan Prince. However, the other one—the very Prince Maolirudo that Schumacher just ntioned—had mysteriously disappeared several years ago.
His disappearance beca a famous mystery in the European Dark World. It was also a taboo subject for the Brad Family, one they loathed others to ntion. Yet now, Schumacher himself had brought it up.
Could it be that Prince Maolirudo's disappearance was related to the Sealing Land?
No one qualified to be here was a fool. From Schumacher's re ntion of it, they had already grasped the crucial point.
"You all really catch on quick."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Prince Schumacher gave a wry smile and nodded in acknowledgnt. "That's right. Maolirudo's disappearance was indeed related to the Sealing Land. To be more precise, he was... left behind in the Sealing Ground by the Demon of the Holy Domain..."
At this revelation, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
"Prince Schumacher, are you saying that you've already clashed with it? And that even a Blood Clan Prince like Maolirudo was killed by it?" Holy Magister lsdom asked, his expression grave.
To be honest, Prince Maolirudo's strength had never been particularly formidable. Even his own kinsman, Schumacher, was stronger than him, to say nothing of lsdom himself. lsdom was confident his own power far surpassed Maolirudo's. But being superior was one thing; being able to kill him was another matter entirely. A Blood Clan Prince wouldn't just stand there and let you kill him. Their terrifying vitality and escape capabilities were legendary within their circles. Even he, lsdom, had never deluded himself into thinking he could actually kill a Blood Clan Prince. And yet, Schumacher was now claiming that Maolirudo had died at the hands of the Demon of the Holy Domain. What did that an? It ant the demon's strength was likely far greater than any of them had imagined!
How could they not feel shocked and panicked by this revelation?
"Yes, Maolirudo truly died at its hands," Prince Schumacher confird, his expression complex.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Fei suddenly cut in. He stared at Schumacher, his expression grave, and asked slowly, "At that ti, did the two of you enter together?"
At Chen Fei's words, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically once more. His question had hit a crucial point.
Everyone stared gravely at Prince Schumacher, awaiting his answer. If it was true that two Blood Clan Princes had entered the Sealing Land together, only for one to die and the other to flee, what did that imply? The sheer danger of the Sealing Ground would be obvious even to a fool.
"...Yes. And it wasn't just Maolirudo and . We were accompanied by five of our Brad Family's Grand Duke-level elders. But even so, Maolirudo still died, and of the five elders, only two escaped with ."
"What!?"
When Prince Schumacher finished speaking, everyone was utterly shocked.
No one could have expected that two Blood Clan Princes and five Grand Dukes of the Brad Family entering the Sealing Land together would lead to such a disastrous result.
Even a supre expert like Wenn Tianxiong, whose power was comparable to an SSS powerhouse, couldn't possibly achieve such a feat, could he? So, did the Demon of the Holy Domain still possess its legendary power, the Level of the Holy Domain? If not, how could two Blood Clan Princes and five Grand Duke-level elders from the Brad Family enter together, only for four to die and three to flee?
After a mont, Mardo, the Scorched Earth Underworld King, couldn't help but frown. "Prince Schumacher, if what you say is true, is there any point in us entering the Sealing Land? Would it be of any use?"
It wasn't just him; the expressions on the others' faces were just as grim. They couldn't help but wonder. If two Princes and five Grand Dukes entered the Sealing Land together, only for four to die—including one of the Princes—and three to flee, then what was the point of them going in now? Were they just supposed to be cannon fodder?!
"Mr. Mardo, I'm rather surprised to hear such foolish words from you," Prince Schumacher said coldly. "If this matter were so simple and easily resolved, why would my Brad Family go to such lengths, inviting all of you here and paying such a trendous price? The greater the reward, the greater the risk. I'm sure you all understand the aning of that phrase."
Instantly, Mardo's face stiffened, his expression uncertain.
However, he knew Schumacher was right. If the matter were truly that simple, the Brad Family wouldn't have gone to such trouble, nor would they have paid the kind of price that was not only tempting but also incredibly steep. Just managing to invite a group like this was, in itself, a testant to the imnse price the Brad Family had already paid! Therefore, since they had agreed to co, they should have been prepared for the difficulty ahead!
As Mardo stewed in his thoughts, Wenn Tianxiong cut in, his face an impassive mask. "Prince Schumacher, tell us about the Demon of the Holy Domain. Does it truly still possess its legendary strength—the Level of the Holy Domain?"
At once, all attention in the room was fixed on Schumacher, waiting for his answer.
