Chapter 577 - The Six Major Sects Besiege the Undead Cult (Part 2)
On the high platform of the hall, a handsome young man around thirty years old was giving a speech. His appearance was like an exquisitely carved jade statue. He was tall and upright, like an ancient pine that had weathered storms.
Below him, six Epic-Legendary beastmasters sat in the front row. They were all very old, none younger than sixty years. They were clearly leading figures in the beastmaster field. However, these grandmasters showed no airs when facing the young man, solely because this youth was the first super prodigy in the empire’s thousands of years of history to step into the Mythical realm.
Among the present Epic-Legendary experts, several had already become his stepping stones, defeated by him. Further down were dozens of Legendary beastmasters, their ages varied. Some were also elderly, while the younger ones, like Lu Ran, appeared to be only in their twenties.
Further back was probably a group of support-type beastmasters assisting the Legendary figures. Due to their status, they also qualified to attend this meeting.
“The Undead Cult was established in the late empire period. Its founder was the Legendary necromancer, Los! Initially, under Los’ management, although the Undead Cult committed many evils, most members still retained some humanity. They only joined the Undead Cult, hoping to resurrect their familiars who died in battle.
“Later, Los broke through to the Epic-Legendary level, and the Undead Cult continued to grow. By the time the empire fell, it had become the leader of the demonic factions on the Stellar Moon Continent!
“Several years ago, unknown changes occurred within the Undead Cult. Cult members acted more recklessly on the continent, sacrificing innocent people, and were suspected of colluding with the Evil God faction and imprisoning the remnant souls of talents from major sects. They have crossed the bottom line of my Beastmaster Lodge!
Ji Yuan said solemnly, “I presume many sects present have also suffered persecution from the Undead Cult.’
Bang!
After Ji Yuan finished, an Epic-Legendary old man slammed the table angrily, saying, “A Superior-Overlord dragon I prepared for my grandson was hunted. Its soul was extracted by an Undead Cult scheme. My grandson has been in a coma for years because of this. I will definitely have revenge.”
“The Undead Cult’s crimes are immense. An elder of it performed a city-wide soul sacrifice on a city under my Li family’s jurisdiction, sacrificing over a million people. If I don’t avenge this, I, Li Aotian, am unworthy of being the Li family head,” a Legendary beastmaster said, his face ashen.
The hall instantly became noisy. It seemed many sect forces had been persecuted by the Undead Cult. Lu Ran listened silently. Those present didn’t know the secrets, but Lu Ran had heard some from the Ghost Mother.
