The Hooded Ones continued

"Yeah, we're saying that it was the work of those new humans that came in a few years back. We even captured a few of them already."

"Already? That was fast."

"You know the upper management, they always have a plan in place. These ones were trained for just such a scenario..."

They reached the platform while talking to one another and walked up to the altar.

All of them got down on their knees and kowtowed 3 times in front of it, like a prayer of sorts. The 3 leaders then walked next to it and started chanting in a low voice. It was in a language that Hao Xuan couldn't understand, even with the basic knowledge from Poriverse.

That meant that either the language was of no interest to Poriverse or he hadn't had the pleasure of coming across anyone that spoke it, but either way, Hao Xuan wasn't going to sit around and let them do as they pleased.

While the leaders were busy doing that, the other 14 formed an arc and started walking towards the sea of corpses.
