At this time, Ayana Wisteria slumped to the floor sadly, and people from other groups whispered, “There, that woman is the third princess of the White Marsh royal family. She and the holy son of the Moon Worship Creed are childhood sweethearts. They were engaged to be married!”
“Is that so?”
“But why did someone say that the Moon Worship Creed is a cult just now? And what has it got to do with the White Marsh royal family?”
That person continued, “Every year, the Moon Worship Creed selects newborns from the information database and trains them. At a certain age, those kids will be put together to kill each other, and the last one who survives will have the chance to become the holy son.”
“What savages!”
“Will their family members agree to such brutality?”
The man shook his head and said, “Those who agree will be given compensation. I have a distant relative who disagreed, which ended up in the deaths of the couple while their kid was taken away.”
After that, a bout of curses rained on the Moon Worship Creed.
“Alas, these kids are really pitiful, going through such suffering at a young age.”
Not far away, the people of the White Marsh royal family took care of the bodies. After Ayana calmed down, she put away Leroy’s clothes and made up her mind to ask her father to find Leroy’s killer and tear him into pieces when she returned.
The commander of the White Marsh royal family was a holy-tier existence, and Ayana did not think there were stronger existences in this world besides the nine royal families.
At this time, Hiram carried Philip and found an unopened secret room. They hid inside.
Just when Hiram breathed a sigh of relief, the voice of an old man next to him startled him.
It was none other than the Bamboo Swordsman, who stroked his beard and said, “You seem to have encountered some danger.”
Hiram had seen the remnant soul of the Bamboo Swordsman in other secret rooms earlier and recognized him immediately.
He patted his chest and said, “Your sudden appearance nearly scared me to death…”
The Bamboo Swordsman chuckled and said, “Before I left, I left nine remnant souls in this world. You’re lucky enough to have seen me once.”
