I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

He Ronger was completely shocked by the sudden and thrilling scene before her.

Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was half open, as if time had stopped at this moment, making it impossible for her to immediately digest what she saw.

Seeing this, Xu Chong's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He shouted in a tone of excitement: "Look! Those arrogant demons are doomed now. Brother Zou and his men are so powerful. They are simply our heroes!"

His voice was filled with desire for victory and admiration for Zou Mubai and others.

However, this joy did not last long, just like a thunderstorm in a summer afternoon, it came and went quickly.

In the next moment, the smile on Xu Chong's face froze, gradually replaced by astonishment and uneasiness.

I saw that within the barrier that was flashing with strange light, the situation was far more complicated than I had imagined.

Apart from those demons who were lying on the ground in agony, struggling weakly with their limbs, looking extremely miserable, even Zou Mubai, Ying Qi and other righteous men who were supposed to show their skills now had expressions of extreme pain on their faces.

Although their bodies were almost at their limit, they still held on, struggling to sit together in a circle, as if they were performing some crucial ritual.

What was even more shocking was that a dazzling array light began to shine on them, which tightly wrapped them up like a protective shield, which was both mysterious and dangerous.

And under this light, their faces were aging rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their skin became loose and wrinkled, as if time was speeding up on them, ruthlessly depriving them of their youth and vitality.

This scene made Xu Chong's heart sink suddenly. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by eyes full of panic and confusion.

He turned around abruptly, looking eagerly at He Ronger, and asked with a trembling voice: "Why... why do they all look so painful? What... what is going on? Did we misunderstand something before?" His tone was full of doubts and an urgent desire to know the truth.

He Ronger looked at the puzzling scene, her heart filled with confusion and anxiety.

There was a gleam of doubt in her bright eyes, and it was obvious that she had no idea what was happening before her eyes.

However, her intuition told her that these senior brothers must be hiding something important from her.

This feeling was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making her feel heavy and depressed.

She couldn't help but start to wonder if there was some danger approaching, and her fellow practitioners chose to conceal it in order to protect her?

Thinking of this, He Ronger's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being grasped by an invisible hand.

She suddenly broke free from Xu Chong's tightly grasped hand, her eyes determined, and turned around to return to the mysterious barrier.

Her heart was filled with worry and concern for her fellow brothers. She wanted to know what had happened and she wanted to do her best to help them.

However, when she ran back to the edge of the barrier, panting, she found that the barrier that seemed illusory at first was now like an iron wall, completely isolating her from the outside. No matter how hard she tried, she could not go any further.

"Big Brother! Brother Ying Qi! What are you doing? Stop now!"

He Ronger lay on the barrier anxiously, holding the invisible barrier tightly with both hands, and kept shouting loudly to the people inside.

There was a hint of tears in her voice, and it was obvious that she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

However, the people inside the barrier seemed to have already prepared for sacrifice. They all closed their eyes, with firm and resolute expressions.

They turned a deaf ear to the sounds from the outside world and could not hear He Ronger's cries.

They had only one thought in their minds, and that was to complete the task no matter what and not fail at the last minute.

They did this because the tragic experience thousands of years ago was still vivid in their minds.

The tragic death of their master and the tragedy of their junior sister losing too much blood and being injured and stabbed in the back still haunt them.

They didn't want such a tragedy to happen again, and they didn't want their loved ones to be hurt again. Therefore, they chose to endure it silently and use their lives to protect the precious tranquility and peace.

At this moment, He Ronger stared at the heartbreaking scene in the barrier, and an indescribable pain surged in her heart.

She looked at the senior brothers who were originally in their early twenties and full of youth, but now seemed to be ruthlessly eroded by the years. Their hair quickly turned gray and deep wrinkles quickly appeared on their faces. Each wrinkle was like a scar engraved on her heart, making her feel as if it was being cut by a knife and the pain was unbearable.

"No! No! Brother, please let me in!" He Ronger shouted at the top of his lungs.

Her voice was filled with endless despair and pleading, as if it could penetrate the ruthless barrier and reach the brothers inside.

Her eyes were already wet, and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, dripping onto the barrier without causing a single ripple.

However, no matter how He Ronger shouted or begged, the brothers in the barrier did not respond at all.

They seemed to have fallen into a deep state of meditation, and had lost all perception of the outside world. They had only one firm belief in their hearts, that is, to complete this arduous task no matter what, and to protect the peace of this land with their own lives.

Xu Chong stood aside, watching this scene, his heart filled with unspeakable pain.

He understood deeply that Brother Zou and his men were planning to sacrifice their own lives to kill the demons who were threatening this land.

This selfless dedication made him feel both admiration and heartache.

How he wished he could do something to stop all this from happening and save his fellow brothers who were aging rapidly.

However, the reality was so cruel that he was powerless. He could only stand beside He Ronger silently, watching all this happen, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

Seeing He Ronger crying her heart out, her desperate and helpless look moved everyone around her.

Among the sect disciples standing in mid-air, the expressions of several of them were particularly ugly.

Their eyes were fixed on He Rong'er, and they felt a strong urge in their hearts to fly down and hold her, to give her some comfort and strength. However, they hesitated to take a step, and their hearts were full of contradictions and struggles.

These people were none other than the three brothers of the He family.
