Before Caspian could say anything, the Holy Land Realm cultivator impersonating Phillip said, “The dead don’t need to know who we are!”
His voice was sharp and muffled behind his mask, causing a harsh and unpleasant sound as if someone brushed the bottom of a pot with an iron brush.
The leader of the imperial guards held a long spear and stood in front of the emperor, shouting angrily, “How dare you! The sect immortals are here, and you’ve no right to spurt nonsense!”
The Holy Land Realm cultivator impersonating Phillip scoffed and uttered, “How weak! Death is already knocking on your door, yet you’re still so senseless.”
“What?!” The head of the imperial guards was stunned.
The next moment, he felt his chin itch.
The irritation came very quickly, and it swiftly spread to both cheeks, his head, and all over his body! It felt like countless ants crawled wildly under his skin!
The leader of the imperial guards stretched out his hand and scratched his face.
However, just as he was about to do so, the flesh of his cheek was pulled off, revealing his gums.
Moreover, even though his flesh fell off, the itching did not stop.
Instead, it became worse than before.
In an instant, the imperial guard wailed in horror as he tried to remove his armor with force.
At the same time, he could not stop himself from scratching himself everywhere, and his flesh turned into pieces with just a touch.
In the blink of an eye, the leader of the imperial guards actually tore off all the flesh on his body, turning it into a skeleton soaked in blood before dying miserably.
In his eyes, there was incomparable horror and disbelief.
The entire process happened at a strange speed.
For the mortals, they watched the terrifying scene where it only took only a few seconds for an adult to be torn off all the flesh, turning him into blood and bones.
The tragic scene, combined with the leader’s hoarse screams, suddenly changed the expressions of all the civil and military officials present, and they stared at the cultivator impersonating Phillip with a terrified gaze.
The four monks who were like ghosts in the night suddenly became more menacing and chilling.
Caspian also felt his scalp tingling after watching the scene.
The person’s way of killing people was too strange and cruel.
The leader of the imperial army naturally knew that scratching would only make him die quickly.
However, the itching feeling all over his body was even more unbearable compared to dying.
Suddenly, a cultivator exclaimed from the crowd, “Blood Poison Sect! You’re Steve Merlo from the Blood Poison Sect!”
“Blood Poison Sect!” Caspian was shocked.
He saw the name in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s sect missions.
The Blood Poison Sect was a small sect established in the Middle Earlington area 100 years ago.
As the sect cultivators were ruthless and often used living people to experiment with newly refined poisons, the Mountwave Sect, one of the six major sects, eradicated them about 30 years ago.
Even though the sect was eradicated, a small number of Blood Poison Sect’s evil cultivators escaped, and they were still alive until now.
As for Steve, he was one of the best figures among the Blood Poison Sect surviving members, and he was also a sect elder back then.
Even when his identity was exposed, Steve was still calm.
He flashed an eerie smile and said, “Now that you know my identity, don’t you regret what you just said?”
Everyone present was stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.
The Blood Poison Sect was good at poisoning, and a strange poison obviously poisoned the leader of the imperial guards.
As the leader of the imperial guards, it was naturally impossible for him to attend today’s dinner as he needed to maintain the security of the palace.
However, he must at least drink water.
Hence, he must have drank the poisoned water before he died.
