World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1782 - 57: Plague Temple (3)_2

Although they won the battle, the group was far from happy as imagined, because during the fight, they also paid a quite heavy price, with more than half of the family disciples dead, most of the rest exhausted, and over thirty severely injured, under such conditions surviving is a big question.

Alman’s face was heavy, this time he brought the family’s elite into the relic, and so many were consumed here, making it hard for him to explain to the two ancestors once back.

But as he lifted his head and glanced at the distant Plague Temple, the frustration in his heart eased somewhat.

The cost of this operation was indeed high, but the gains were not small either.

The entire Plague Temple was made out of Soul Summoning Stones, just this return was enough to recover the losses for the Rothschild family.

Plus, the Temple surely holds the Secret Treasure left by the Plague God, possibly even some Divine Domain Skills could be found inside, which are certainly things the ancestors need, by then with these skills, the ancestors might not blame him, maybe even reward him.

"Clan Leader, the strength of these Demon Clan is indeed unexpectedly strong, their life force is incredibly tenacious, without dispersing their forms, there’s no way to kill them... Fortunately, we snatched the Stellar Treasure Mirror from the Lan Family beforehand, without this mirror, we probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat them..."

An elder walked over and said.

"Hehe, indeed, the Lan Family did us a big favor, come to think of it, we owe it all to that kid Lan Ji, without his betrayal, our plan wouldn’t have been so easily realized this time."

"By the way, Clan Leader, we haven’t caught that Honorary Elder from the Lan Family yet, if what happened here is disclosed by him, we will surely anger that ancestor from the Lan Family, I heard his abilities are extraordinary, back in the Dark Star Alliance he was called the ’Invincible God King’, if not for offending a Great Power from the Demon Clan, he probably would’ve reached the Middle Extraordinary Level long ago..."

"Him..."

Alman showed a grave expression, it was clear he was very wary of the person the elder spoke of.

However, he only pondered briefly before relaxing:

"Don’t worry, Vlad, the Invincible God King is just a title, if he were truly that powerful, he wouldn’t have been beaten down, now his life or death is uncertain, besides, my Rothschild family has two ancestors alive, so even if he is living, what does it matter? Our two ancestors can handle him together, can’t they?"

Alman showed a cold smile and continued:

"Moreover, I’ve memorized the scent of Ji Xing’s blood, as long as he appears near me again, I can certainly sniff him out, no matter how well he disguises himself, it won’t help. We just need to guard the relic’s exit, and wait until the very last moment before going in, I don’t believe he won’t show up! When the time comes, he’ll have only two choices, either get trapped inside the relic to die, or get silenced by us!"

"Hahaha! Clan Leader, you’ve thought it through! But in this harsh environment, without the protection of the Stellar Treasure Mirror, I reckon that kid has died in some corner already! Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their mood slightly improved.

Hiding in the shadows, Zhang Xiaoman listened to their conversation, feeling speechless, these two were making quite a plan, however, they probably never calculated that he wanted to leave this space, there was no need to use the door like them at all.

He raised an arm to sniff, feeling curious inside.

"The scent of my blood? Is this guy’s nose so keen? Why can’t I smell it...? Forget it, with the Shadow Lord’s blessing, his nose might just be decoration to me..."

Zhang Xiaoman waited a bit longer in place, not rushing to go in, because he knew the Plague Temple wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

The reason he didn’t sneak in during the fight between the red-robed man and the Plague Guard was because he had learned some very crucial information from Naphaya.

They say the Plague Temple has a particularly formidable formation for protection, such a formation could cause immense harm to those who approach rashly, and his recent explorations have shown similar signs.

Zhang Xiaoman’s All-Knowing Ability allows him to converse with objects, but it’s actually a powerful perception that lets him sense things that happened to these objects before.

Over the past month exploring the Plague Temple, he vaguely felt a terrifying energy lurking on the Temple’s surface, this energy wanders around the Temple’s perimeter, and if anything approaches, it might be triggered.

So he plans to let the Rothschild family people go ahead to probe the way, if possible, let them trigger the energy, and then find a way in, if they can’t trigger it, he’ll just go in by force with the Little Golden Man.

At this moment, the Rothschild family members slightly recovered, then arranged themselves to once more approach the Temple.

Alman acted extremely cautiously, even at this time, still keeping the Stellar Treasure Mirror running, to prevent an ambush.

Zhang Xiaoman watched them with anticipation, hiding his figure and moving behind the group.

Closer, getting closer.

When the group crossed the swamp below, reaching the front of the Temple, a sudden terrifying spiritual power fluctuation made Alman’s eyes widen instantly.

"Not good! A formation is blocking us!!"

Alman’s face showed shock and decisively reacted, his body’s spiritual power poured continuously into the Stellar Treasure Mirror, urging the mirror to its limit.

The others hadn’t reacted yet until the indomitable spiritual power surged at them, then everyone’s faces changed.

"Boom!!!"

The terrifying spiritual power burst echoed, the formation outside the Plague Temple unleashed the energy accumulated over countless years, all crashing onto the mirror.

"Crack~"

The sound of the mirror shattering was heard, Alman spurted several mouthfuls of blood wildly, flying backward, and the others were blown away by the aftermath, among the Rothschild family’s disciples, the weaker ones were directly shattered, only those at Middle Control Level or above barely survived, this energy burst wiped out seventy percent of their people!

"What terrifying power!"

Zhang Xiaoman’s pupils contracted sharply, the force displayed by the Temple truly shocked him.

The Rothschild family was almost wiped out by this blow, if not for the Stellar Treasure Mirror’s protection, probably no one present would have survived.

"The Stellar Treasure Mirror... shattered..."

Alman looked at the thoroughly dimmed mirror in his hand and the heavily damaged companions around him, his heart filled with extreme sorrow.

He never expected, outside this Temple to hide such a lethal trap, the spiritual power fluctuations couldn’t be felt from afar, only detected when near, but by then it was too late.

"Ah!!!"

He let out an angry roar, wishing he could rush up and tear the Temple down.

"Rumble!"

At this moment, the Temple gates opened once again, hundreds of black-armored guards holding long spears emerged.

"How, how can this be..."

Seeing this sight, including Alman, everyone was dumbfounded, what’s called compounding misfortunes, today they indeed learned deeply.
