Chapter 439: 439                                    
           									
Not all men of sacrifice had the same strength .  It differed by the state of the person when they were alive . 
It was difficult for those in higher states to become men of sacrifice, but once they succeeded, they would be more powerful . 
Jiang Chen's scream woke the crowd up, causing them to hurriedly run back .  The passages built between the mountain walls were only fifteen feet wide .  It was crowded with people, some even almost falling . 
When they had finally gone back to the entrance, a Celestial Dragon Gate suddenly appeared and blocked their way .  No one could leave . 
"Spirits of the brave departed, please revive the supreme authority of the Dragon Dynasty!"
Su Xing opened his arms .  With his call, the iron chains fixed on the mountain walls started to shake violently, and the iron handrails of the cages emitted a mysterious red radiance . 
Not until then did people notice the handrails were carved with small, tadpole-like characters . 
Each character contained a stunning power .  The mountain was shaking, as if its narrow interior couldn't handle the power anymore .  The wooden passage under people's feet was cracking . 
Fortunately, the situation didn't worsen .  The mummies in the cages started to move . 
There were seven of them, as artificial as wax figures .  They didn't even have eye balls, and they were so bony that they looked like skeleton demons . 
However, the fragile-looking bodies contained a power impossible for those present to defend against . 
Murong Long managed to stay calm .  He asked in a low voice, "Su Xing, you planned all of this?"
"Information is more important than anything else .  You knew nothing about the secret treasure .  You deserved to be schemed against . " Su Xing stopped hiding himself anymore .  His evilness was impressive, his look cold and emotionless . 
"What do you want to do? Kill all of us?" asked Murong Long . 
Many people looked towards Su Xing nervously . 
    
Because of their greed, they had put their lives in Su Xing's hands . 
"The Evil Cloud Palace only has one enemy—the Hero Palace . " Su Xing glanced at the crowd coldly .  The two teams from the Hero Palace immediately felt extremely pressured . 
Other people tried to stay away from them so that they wouldn't be associated with them . 
"And the Hero Palace's allies," Su Xing went on . 
It dawned on the people what Su Xing wanted .  He wanted them to pledge their loyalty to him . 
"We would like to join the Evil Cloud Palace . "
"Apprentice Brother Su Xing, please let the innocents go . "
"Yeah .  We have nothing to do with the Hero Palace . "
Many people hurried to air their opinions without any hesitation, afraid they would lag behind the others . 
"So, where's your proof of allegiance?" Su Xing said coldly . 
These people turned ashen .  Looking towards those from the Hero Palace, they were very clear on what "proof of allegiance" meant . 
How cruel, Jiang Chen thought to himself .  He had sensed that Su Xing wasn't simple when the latter had directed the others to establish the lines of defense, but not until he himself became a victim did he realize how vicious the guy was . 
Yet he didn't act on impulse .  Even if the sky collapsed, there were taller ones to support it . 
Li Nanxing stayed calm, observing the others' reactions . 
"We'll remain neutral," said Murong Long . 
                 
"You wish .  You have to kill Li Nanxing," Su Xing said immediately, as if he had anticipated Murong Long's answer . 
"The Evil Cloud Palace is as cruel as expected . "
Laughing coldly, Murong Long came up to Li Nanxing .  He said, "I'll fight with Li Nanxing to defeat you!"
"Stop being so arrogant .  That's silly . " Su Xing shook his head sarcastically . 
"The seven men in the cages were the seven great pioneers of the Dragon Rebel Army during the Dragon Rebellion .  Each of them was at the peak of the Venerable stage .  Although as men of sacrifice, their strength has been weakened, they're still Venerables . "
As soon as he finished speaking, the cages opened .  The seven pioneers stood in the air, regardless of the tactical formation deployed there . 
"Any of the men of sacrifice could kill all of you! Murong Long, I'll give you another chance .  Choose wisely this time!"
