Chapter 561: Chapter 406: Two Fists_1

And so, effortlessly crossing the clear stream, Leo Ray and his party moved lightly, continuing to venture deeper into the Illusionary Forest.

Not long after they had walked through the dense shrubbery, they saw several figures lying on the ground next to a large tree not far away.

“Father!”

At this moment, Joshua Bingaman, who was leading the way at the front, recognized one of the figures and immediately ran over anxiously.

On the other side, seeing this, Leo Ray followed closely with his subordinates and caught up with him.

Upon getting closer, Leo Ray noticed three people lying on the grass beside the tree, all dressed in light blue magic robes.

Among them were a middle-aged man with a handsome face, and two white-haired elders.

Based on their aura, these people, like the others in the castle, were obviously in a state of unconsciousness.

At this moment, Joshua was kneeling beside the middle-aged man, gently supporting him while calling out to him.

“Is that Joshua’s father, the current City Lord of Firsdale City?”

Seeing this, Leo Ray signaled to his nearby subordinates to remove their Invisibility Cloaks.

He nodded to the muscular priest beside him and said, “Gideon Black, wake them up.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Upon hearing this, Gideon Black bent slightly and came up to the side of the middle-aged man first.

Soon after, accompanied by a surge of dark golden Life Force, the middle-aged City Lord slowly opened his eyes within a moment.

“Joshua?”

Upon recognizing the figure in front of him, the handsome middle-aged City Lord first rubbed his aching head and then exclaimed in surprise, “How did you get here?”

“Father, it was the Lord who brought your daughter here.”

On the other hand, Joshua Bingaman gently helped the middle-aged City Lord up and said with a solemn expression, “Father, the situation is urgent, so I’ll keep it short.”

Then, she briefly introduced the current situation and the reason for Leo Ray and others coming here.

“So, that’s what happened… Has the Lord arrived?”

Hearing this, the City lord of Firsdale City hurriedly came to Leo Ray’s side, bowed with gratitude, and said, “My name is Tran Bingaman, City Lord of Firsdale City. Thank you, my Lord, for the Ice Crystal Holy Spirit Pill that has helped me recover from the long-lasting Dragonfire Poison.

I’m even more grateful to the Lord for personally coming to the rescue during this crisis in Firsdale City!”

“City Lord Tran, there’s no need for excessive courtesy.”

Looking at the still somewhat pale middle-aged man, Leo Ray gave a slight nod and said, “Let’s talk about other things later. The current priority is to resolve this as soon as possible and help Firsdale City through this crisis.”

Not far away, Gideon Black had also rescued the other two elders one after another.

After learning about the current situation, the two elders, both full of astonishment, bowed to Leo Ray in gratitude as well.

At the same time, whether it was Joshua’s father Tran or the other two elders, they couldn’t help but reveal a hint of reverence when looking at Leo Ray.

Without a doubt, although this young man had a gentle face, both he and his subordinates were obviously stronger than them.

Moreover, this indifferent young man had ventured into such dangerous depths for the sake of Firsdale City.

Thinking of this, their expressions of gratitude became even more apparent.

On the other hand, through inquiring, Leo Ray learned that the two elders were both Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses from the Rivers Family.

As for Tran, the head of the Rivers Family and City Lord of Firsdale City, he was at the Tier 3 Peak Level.

However, due to being inflicted with Dragonfire Poison for many years, his strength had not yet fully recovered and was still at the Tier 3 Senior Powerhouse Level.

Additionally, the reason these three were unconscious here was that earlier, they had sensed some abnormalities underground, and driven by curiosity, they rushed down to investigate.

However, before they could reach the Firsdale Territory, a sudden surge of powerful abnormal energy burst out from the last gate.

Caught off-guard, this led to their collapse at the scene.

“My Lord, it seems that City Lord Tran and the others happened to encounter the energy turbulence at the beginning of the Dragon Mirage’s eruption.”

Having heard this, Gideon Black standing beside him, bowed slightly and said, “During the formation of the Illusion Realm, the closer one is to the source, the greater the energy impact they will suffer. Therefore, it’s not unusual for several people with Tier 3 Senior Powerhouse Level strength to suddenly faint.”

“I understand.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray slightly nodded, took a step forward, and said to his nearby subordinates and Tran, “Alright, time is of the essence, let’s continue.”

Soon after, in the midst of the Illusionary Forest, a strange, gigantic gate appeared before the party members.

This extraordinary Giant Gate appeared abruptly between two towering trees.

At first glance, the gate’s surface, lintel, and even the handle were all made of pure black, unidentified animal bones, giving it a terrifying appearance.

Moreover, a visible strange black aura was continuously emanating from the gate.

This caused the surrounding flowers, grass, and tree trunks to suffer severe corrosion, leaving them all in a withered, blackened state.
