The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 155 Scarlet Transformation into the City of the Living Dead
The night passed and dawn descended on the blood cliff.

As crimson rays of light fell on the city like drizzle, a solemn atmosphere surrounded the blood cliff.

After experiencing the city-wide martial law search yesterday, the panicked people had not yet recovered from the tense atmosphere, but they suddenly discovered that there was a hazy blood-colored mist filling the air inside and outside the city.

At first, people thought the blood-colored mist was normal morning fog.

But with the passage of time, the bloody mist not only did not dissipate, but became somewhat thicker.

Seeing this, people who were unable to leave felt that they were tightly bound, as if they were in a small, closed room with nowhere to escape.

Many chambers of commerce and nobles sent guards out to investigate the situation.

After a long period of silence, an atmosphere of fear arose, covering everyone staying in Blood Cliff City.

Warehouse area near the port.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes, stretched out his spirit, and when he saw no one around, he stood up carefully.

"Um?!"

While walking, Huo Jixing noticed that the environment he was in was a little different from last night.

But the dim light prevented him from seeing the truth.

Crunch!

Pushing open the narrow window, hazy blood-colored mist poured in like a wave.

Huo Jixing's expression suddenly changed, and the red-gold flame ignited, instantly driving away the bloody mist that was approaching him.

Only then did he slowly see the sky outside, filled with blood-colored mist.

Whether it's a tall building, cargo piled in a port, or a ship sitting on the sea level.

Everything was covered with a hazy blood-colored mist, like giant blood-colored beasts sleeping in place.

Huo Jixing seemed to realize something, and immediately turned to look at the warehouse. The fire from Nanli swept across, burning away the bloody mist in the air.

He quickly woke up Jalal, Kalida and others.

After a while, everyone stared blankly at the changes outside. The nervous heartbeats and even breathing of more than a dozen people were extremely clear in the quiet and eerie atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Jalal tried to hold his breath.

Then he gave up such an idea. Facing the boundless bloody mist, how long could he hold it?

"The abnormality I discovered when I woke up in the morning." Huo Jixing looked solemn: "Maybe it started last night."

He kept the Nanli Fire in his body boiling at all times, burning the bloody mist spreading in the air.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Red-gold fireworks covered his eyes, Huo Jixing looked into the distance, within the red-gold field of vision.

The boundless blood-colored mist has a faint supernatural quality, like dense mayflies, staying in the air and surging with the wind.

"It seems like a ritual?" Kalida said softly, her tone a little uncertain.

"When I was studying in Piltover, I saw a description of a similar scene in a book."

"ceremony?"

Jalal's expression was gloomy, his blood-stained golden hair falling down his face. The once firm and steady expression was gone, and a hint of panic appeared in his calm eyes.

Seeing Huo Jixing looking over and asking, he whispered.

"A terrifying ritual that can cover a huge city will never be cast so simply."

"There must be a long preparation time in advance, as well as many extraordinary items to coordinate."

"And the only one who can do this in Blood Cliff and hide it from everyone is——"

"The Mauli family!"

Huo Jixing was startled. He looked at the blood-colored mist outside and saw the Nanli fire surrounding his body swaying.

"Scarlet Secret Society!"

He thought about the existence behind the Mouli family, and his heart sank.

"Get ready, let's leave here immediately!"

Huo Jixing looked at the silent crowd behind him and spoke in a solemn voice.

The red-gold burning fireworks, like gods, brought them a glimmer of hope.

In less than a moment, all the soldiers of Leiser's garrison were fully armed, with all their armors and swords ready, waiting for orders.

Kalida was also wearing a dark purple inner armor, holding a Hex vinyl gun, and holding a baby boy in her arms.

Jalal looked at Huo Jixing and nodded slightly.

Respect for the strong has long been engraved in the bones of the Noxians.

Huo Jixing did not refuse and immediately led everyone to leave the warehouse area and head towards the port.

The scenes he saw along the way made his heart sink.

The diffuse blood-colored mist has faint supernatural properties, unconscious suspension.

He was not sure about the effect of the extraordinary characteristics. Although the people covered in the blood-colored mist seemed to be fine, they felt a little shuddering.

However, in the streets and alleys of the port area, there were no blood-colored armored soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys yesterday.

Just as Huo Jixing's heart gradually relaxed, when he arrived at the port, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

What the field of vision sees.

At the junction of the distant sea level and the port, the blood-colored mist was like a curtain, covering all the ships and imprisoning them in the port.

In front of the port, fully armed and ready blood-colored armored soldiers were bathed in the blood-colored mist, looking straight ahead like carefully carved horse figurines.

Huo Jixing believed that once he and others showed up, these blood-colored armored soldiers would attack.

"Are the Mouli family crazy?" Jalal felt chill in his heart.

The port area of ​​Blood Cliff is under the responsibility of the Empire's High Command.Now the Mauli family has violated the orders of the empire's high command, openly controlled the port, and stopped all trade ships.

Huo Jixing looked at the scene in front of him and let out a breath.

There was no need to go around the entrance of Blood Cliff City. He believed that there would be blood-colored armored soldiers there.

The Mauli family will not tolerate anyone leaving Blood Cliff.Huo Jixing thought secretly.

He was alone and could certainly force his way out.

But if he does this, not to mention that his secret mission will fail, Jalal and others behind him will also be forced to stay in Blood Cliff.

"Wow! Whoa!"

Suddenly, the cry of a baby broke the silent atmosphere.

Kalida immediately covered the baby boy's mouth, and Huo Jixing and others quickly left the area.

In the dark passage, Huo Jixing's pupils were filled with red-golden light.

The blood-colored clouds in the distance heard the baby's cry, but remained indifferent and stayed where they were.

"To stop us from leaving?"

Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze and looked at Kalida, seeing her anxiously caressing the baby boy in her arms, looking extremely panicked.

"what happened?"

Huo Jixing and Jalal looked at each other and walked over quickly.

The baby boy in front of him is a blood descendant of the Mauli family, and is also related to the secret of the Scarlet Secret Society.

"This!"

Huo Jixing looked down at the baby boy in Kalida's arms, his pupils constricted, unable to hide his depressed expression.

Under the dark gray linen coat, the baby boy's skin was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then gradually turned deep red.

At the same time, fine beads of sweat appeared from all over the body, soaking the dark red skin.

"The body temperature is also getting higher!" Huo Jixing put his hand on the baby boy's forehead, which was a little hot.

"How to do?"

Khalida seemed to have lost her bearings and hurriedly wiped the sweat off the baby boy's body. Seeing that it didn't work, she looked at Huo Jixing pleadingly.

Under the red golden eyes.

Huo Jixing saw the blood-colored mist filling the air being slowly injected into the baby boy's body, slowly changing his body.

"It's bloody mist!"

His tone was solemn, and the Nanli fire ignited at his fingertips, burning and expelling the bloody mist near the baby boy.

It seems to have some effect.

The baby boy's skin stopped changing and remained dark red, and the temperature on his forehead gradually became constant.

"This is not the solution." Jalal said, looking deeply at Kalida.

"We can't waste Huo Jixing's power in vain. We must find the source or a solution."

Kalida, who was originally emotionally stable, suddenly became a little at a loss when she heard Jalal's words.

She looked at the silent soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps around her, and hugged the baby boy tightly in her arms.

Huo Jixing is the strongest person in the team. In the current ritual environment, he is everyone's hope. He cannot waste his strength for her and the baby boy.

"Go to Mouli Castle!" Huo Jixing said in a deep voice.

The blood-colored mist filling the air, the military formation at the port, and the strange changes in the baby boy.

Everything that happened in Blood Cliff was caused by the Mouli family.

After Jalal hesitated for a while, he nodded decisively and led the soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps under his command to set off.

Kalida gathered up her long gray hair, wrapped a cloth band around the baby boy in front of her, and followed.

Huo Jixing was walking in the front, and the Nanli Fire that was lit was like a torch in the dark night, burning away the bloody mist in front of him.

After leaving the port and walking in the city, Huo Jixing noticed changes in his surroundings.

The bustling scene earlier was gone, and the wide streets were empty and deserted.

The blood cliff under the blood-colored mist seemed to have turned into a city of the living dead. Thousands of clouds rose in the field of vision, but there was no fresh breath.

The more he walked, the colder Huo Jixing's heart became.

Until Mauuli Castle comes into view in the distance.

The capital of Noxus, the Immortal Fortress.

The silent and solemn audience hall.

Swain was sitting in front of a simple marble table, handling the affairs of the empire.

The recent victory of Lokronde allowed the Imperial High Command to regain control of the Black Powder Land, and at the same time executed many Black Rose spies in many chapters.

Although with his full support, the new Noxian Empire embraced all who swore allegiance to the Empire—

Including black roses!

But now, Swain sees a more serious threat hidden within the empire.

Tap!Tap!Tap!

Light footsteps sounded, echoing in the empty audience hall.

Swain seemed to have noticed something. He looked with dark eyes and saw a scarlet figure slowly approaching in the darkness.
