Ni Chuan offered a helpless, bitter smile. "Many people present couldn't figure it out either."
"Many people couldn't figure it out?" Han Xingliu narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that there was something strange about those words. "And then?" he asked.
"And then..." Ni Chuan hesitated. "Xiao Linfeng died. The Ancient Kings used him as a sacrifice to open the pathway."
"Died? Used as a sacrifice?" Han Xingliu was stunned. Based on his understanding of his father, no matter how urgent the situation was, they wouldn't have just killed Xiao Linfeng on the spot, right?
"It seems there was an accident. The Residual Fire forcibly attempted to sacrifice the Zhenwu Ancient King. Completely ignoring it, the Zhenwu Ancient King directly charged inside. The Emperor seemed somewhat reluctant, but he had no choice but to follow."
Hearing Ni Chuan's explanation, Han Xingliu understood.
