“What cri should you bear?” asked Yan Yan, continuing interrogatively.
“I, I did it all for the Silver Wolf,” Gu Yin said, trembling.
“You should bear the death penalty,” Yan Yan declared and then walked over to Gu Yin, took the huge sword from his hands, and fiercely chopped down.
“Swoosh…” Blood spurted out as Gu Yin’s head was hacked off, with blood gushing forth wildly.
There was a silent stillness all around as everyone watched Gu Yin being beheaded for public display, not daring to make any sound.
“Suo Lun saved my life, saved Yan Shuang’s life, for the Silver Wolf Legion his kindness is as heavy as a mountain—whoever dares to speak of killing him, dies,” Yan Yan said.
“Yes,” everyone responded, bowing respectfully.
Yan Yan said, “Now, we of the Silver Wolf Legion number less than a thousand n and are utterly surrounded, in imminent danger.
Count Suo Lun and I have made an oath: if he can lead the Silver Wolf to break the siege before dawn, from that mont on, everyone in the Silver Wolf Legion will wholeheartedly pledge loyalty to Count Suo Lun, pledge loyalty to the Suo Family.
Do any of you object?”
The warriors of the Silver Wolf Legion were taken aback before bowing and saying, “We comply with your command.”
Although they did not dare believe that Suo Lun could lead them to break through the siege—it seed even more difficult than reaching the heavens.
But since Elder Yan Yan had spoken, they had but one path to follow—obedience.
Yan Yan turned to Suo Lun and said, “Your Excellency the Earl, it is now up to you.
You may command anyone here, including myself!
Lead the Silver Wolf to break out before dawn, and this army will be yours.”
Suo Lun bowed and replied, “Yes, Elder Yan Yan.”
Then, Suo Lun said, “All Samurai of the Silver Wolf, stand by here and do not take a single step outside.”
Yan Yan bowed in return and said, “As you command.”
Then, he sat down cross-legged, as did all the warriors of the Silver Wolf Legion, neatly aligned in the field.
It was certain that even if faced with a volley of thousands of arrows or a fire burning before their eyes, they would not move an inch.
…
After instructing all the warriors of the Silver Wolf Legion to sit quietly, Suo Lun left the courtyard to ponder a strategy for breaking the siege.
At this ti, there were still over three hours before dawn.
Outside, tens of thousands of enemy soldiers completely surrounded them, and a raging fire had already started throughout Huangquan Ancient City.
Thinking of breaking out truly seed as impossible as the sun rising from the west.
This wasn’t like the ti by the Nu River, on the isolated mountain where they could glide away—back then, Suo Lun had planned it all in advance.
This ti, Suo Lun had no plans and could not fly away.
Looking up at the sky, it seed as if dark clouds were overhead, obscuring the stars and the moon.
A few hundred ters away, Suo Lun, the Samurai, traversed through a downpour of arrows in the light of the flas.
“Yao Xing, why is Huangquan Ancient City known as the City of the Dead?” Suo Lun asked.
“Why does everyone who enters the city die mysteriously, with no discernible cause of death?
Do you sense any strange energy?”
“No,” Yao Xing said.
“Everything seems normal.”
Suo Lun arrived at the lake in the center of Huangquan Ancient City, which was Netherworld Lake.
It used to be quite large, but now it was a re few dozen ters in diater.
Previously, nearly all the residents of Huangquan Ancient City drank water from here.
But since it beca a City of the Dead, nobody dared to drink from it anymore.
The Silver Wolf Legion had been without water for two days, yet they dared not drink from this lake.
Suo Lun dipped his hand into the water of Netherworld Lake and asked, “Do you sense any strange energy now?”
“Yes, an extrely bizarre energy,” Yao Xing said.
“How so?” Suo Lun inquired.
“This energy can penetrate through anything, including armor, walls, and so on, killing any life,” Yao Xing explained.
Imdiately, Suo Lun thought of radiation.
Only radiation energy could penetrate almost any barrier and kill any life.
Suo Lun said, “Is this the mystery of the City of the Dead?”
“But this energy is too weak to kill a person, let alone silently slaughter the whole city,” Yao Xing pointed out.
And just at that mont!
A gust of wind blew by, and the dark clouds in the sky began to scatter.
A sliver of moonlight pierced through, illuminating the ground with a snow-like whiteness.
Suo Lun looked up to see that tonight was indeed the night of a full moon.
He then saw the reflection in the water, the moon like a round disk.
Just then…
Suo Lun suddenly felt a chill through his body.
Next, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The water of Netherworld Lake began to emit a glow, a cold green light.
It was not the reflection of the moon, but the lake water itself releasing the green light, like the luminance of glowstone.
It was vaguely green with a tinge of yellow.
This color looked very similar to the radioactive glow from the Glowing Sea in the ga “Fallout 4.”
This green light shining on Suo Lun caused him to beco montarily dizzy.
Right, this was indeed very much like radiation energy, and extraordinarily intense at that.
This energy was growing stronger and stronger!
“Master, flee quickly, this energy is intensifying, and soon it will be enough to kill everyone within the city,” Yao Xing exclaid in alarm.
Then, its black hole began to spin rapidly, frenziedly devouring the terrifying radiation energy.
The light from the lake grew brighter and more eerily strange.
Su Lun then saw a trendously bright light at the bottom of the water.
Without a doubt, the source of the radiation was at the lake’s bottom.
What was it?
A teorite from outer space?
If it was indeed a teorite from beyond the heavens, then all the mysteries of Huangquan Ancient City would be unraveled.
Normally, the radiation energy from this teorite was fairly weak, but on the night of a full moon, at the peak of yin energy, the teorite would release an imnsely powerful and terrifying radiation energy.
