Chapter 1132: Turning Back

Turning Back

"Hmph."

Jack of Diamonds's voice came from the gloomy underground. Faintly, plant roots roamed below,

"I dug this tunnel for almost a day before finishing it... It's also your good luck that it happened to be dug through at this point in time, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to protect you."

"No wait!"

Jian Changsheng spoke hurriedly while falling, "We can't leave yet!! Hearts is still up there!"

"What Hearts?" Jack of Diamonds's voice was somewhat doubtful.

"Chen Ling ah!"

Jian Changsheng didn't have time to explain. He directly grabbed the protruding rock beside him, forcefully stopping his falling figure with terrifying fingertip strength, looking up...

Jian Changsheng gritted his teeth, stepping on the edge of the tunnel to borrow force, actually charging back towards the direction of the surface like a cheetah!

"He's crazy?!" Seeing this scene, Jack of Diamonds found it inconceivable,

"I put in so much effort to dig a tunnel for him, and after running halfway he wants to go back and court death??"

Sun Bumian looked at that black shadow charging resolutely towards the surface. After a moment of internal conflict, he still helplessly let out a long sigh...

He stepped on the Cloud Step, stabilizing his figure in mid-air, and raising his foot, also prepared to ascend to the surface.

"You're going too?"

"What other way is there?" Sun Bumian shrugged his shoulders,

"He insisted that person is Hearts. We can't just leave like this... Let's just believe him once. If he's wrong, I don't mind having an extra Junior named 'Sun Changsheng' in the family tree."

As his voice fell, he stepped on the void, his figure flying upwards like lightning!

"Then you..."

Jack of Diamonds turned his head to look at the last 6-series generation. Before the words were spoken, the latter had already fiercely thrust his hands into the vertical cliff, his slender body arching like a wild beast...

Then forcefully stepping with both feet, he climbed close to the cliff like white lightning, extremely fast breaking through the air in the narrow space, emitting bursts of booming sounds!

Jack of Diamonds: ...

He looked at the three people who disappeared overhead, then glanced at the tunnel under his feet that took a great deal of effort to dig through, his expression incomparably wonderful.

"... Then I'll leave???"

...

"What's the situation?! They actually ran away?!"

"When were the stone locks on their bodies unlocked??"

"And a tunnel... Damn it, they secretly dug an escape route long ago!"

"..."

After the figures of the Jian Changsheng trio fell into the earth, whether it was the two red-robed Bishops or the other ordinary Scarlet Heaven Cultists, all were incomparably shocked. They seemed unable to figure out how they managed to do this silently under the circumstance of Divine Pathways being suppressed.

"What should we do? Should we chase?" Someone asked eagerly.

"#@（￥&））!"

He only saw the Archbishop still maintaining the posture of his palm pressing on the altar. The muscles on his arms bulged block by block, as if strenuously supporting something... He opened that wild ape mouth, emitting bursts of low cries.

Seeing this, Zheng Ye immediately spoke:

"Don't chase! Completing the Sacrificial Rite is important! Quickly go bring the reserved vegetables and fruits!!"

For the Sacrificial Rite, the sacrifice didn't necessarily have to be human. Anything from Earth would do... Now the Sacrificial Rite was already halfway through, and the Archbishop couldn't move casually. Since those few people escaped, naturally there was no need to take the risk to chase.

As this sentence came out, the few Scarlet Heaven Cultists on the periphery immediately moved, running towards the direction where the vegetables and fruits were stored. Smoke and dust pervaded the air, the earth trembled and boomed, and the Sacrificial Rite was mostly in chaos...

Chen Ling stood quietly on the edge, the hanging heart completely set down.

"These three guys, seem to not be that stupid..."

Chen Ling originally worried that the Jian Changsheng trio wouldn't be able to rely on their own strength to leave here, ultimately only able to rely on himself taking action to disrupt the situation... But looking at it now, they had prepared an escape method long ago.

Once they left, Chen Ling was much more relaxed.

Chen Ling's gaze locked onto the Archbishop in the center of the altar, his tongue tip lightly licking his lips. This hunter who always hid on the edge of the crowd finally took a step forward.

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current Expectation Value: 58%]

Bang——!!

Right at this moment, the earth in front of the bonfire suddenly burst open, and a black shadow flew out from underground!

Under the effect of inertia, Jian Changsheng charged out of the surface. His leather jacket was outlined amid the smoke and dust. Under the blank and astonished gazes of the many Scarlet Heaven Cultists, he heavily landed back on the ground!

After him, two more figures rose. One stepped on the Cloud Step suspended in the void, the other crashed to the ground like a cannonball, knocking the two or three Scarlet Heaven Cultists around him over on the spot.

Chen Ling: ???

Chen Ling, who was just about to take action, found it inconceivable. Even if he broke his head thinking, he couldn't figure out why these three guys came back??

"They want to obstruct the Sacrificial Rite?!" Seeing this, Zheng Ye was greatly shocked in his heart, immediately speaking, "Stop them!! Don't let them get close to the Archbishop!"

As this sentence came out, the surrounding Scarlet Heaven Cultists swarmed forward. The two red-robed Bishops even coldly snorted. Their figures trailed afterimages, charging straight at the trio!

Under the circumstance of being unable to use Divine Pathways, these three people actually dared to come back. This was no different from courting death.

Without a second word, Jiang Xiaohua directly charged towards a red-robed Bishop with irresistible force, relying on his terrifying physical body to fight with him again; Sun Bumian glanced at Jian Changsheng, silently sighed, and pointed at the other red-robed Bishop through the air:

"——Freeze!"

Although Divine Pathways couldn't be used, what Sun Bumian knew wasn't only Divine Pathways... He had already mastered Theatre Dao Secret Methods.

Jian Changsheng had no other means. He could only forcefully charge through the crowd. His gaze locked onto that red-clad figure standing not far away, shouting loudly:

"Chen Ling!! I know it's you! Quickly come with us!!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's expression was incomparably complex.

He knew his disguise had still been seen through by Jian Changsheng... This guy had seen the scene of him eating Scarlet Heaven Cultists in the Red Dust Domain. It was mostly the detail of swallowing saliva just now that exposed his identity.

He didn't deny it, just quietly stood there, calmly shaking his head:

"No... I'm not leaving."

"Why??"

"I can already not go back."

"Bullshit!!" Jian Changsheng shouted through gritted teeth, venting the words suppressed at the bottom of his heart for so many days. "Isn't it just those rumors spread in the Human Domains?! Whatever they want to say, let them say it! As long as we do ourselves well!! Why care about it?!"

"... Rumors?"

Chen Ling smiled bitterly, his eyes full of helplessness.

Countless Scarlet Heaven Cultists pounced on Jian Changsheng. Even the two red-robed Bishops temporarily got rid of the entanglement of Jiang Xiaohua and Sun Bumian, approaching here directly... Amidst the blazing Torchlight, Chen Ling's lonely shadow danced wildly like a ghost.

He gently opened his arms, like a crimson fire about to devour everything. The power of Calamity surged madly in his body!

"What they said, is not entirely rumors."

"Look carefully, the current me... am I still that Chen Ling?"
