As Bishop Norton spoke, Xu Yi's face also slightly changed.
The Land of Ceris, being part of the Darklands, would have its connection to the outside world severed once the aurora appeared and dispelled the darkness.
There was a certain time each year when the aurora would appear, but their calculations before coming had assured them that there were still two full months until the arrival of the aurora.
This could only mean one thing: the premature appearance of the aurora was the work of heretics!
Xu Yi climbed up the towering pillar beside the altar, using the vision of the Eyes of Obscurity to search for the cultists.
"Over there! They're trying to escape!"
He quickly noticed something amiss; cultists were jumping into a pool, one after another, at the northeast corner of the altar—undoubtedly, the pool was an entrance.
"Stop them!" Ed bellowed.
Everyone charged in the direction Xu Yi had indicated, fully aware that it was all a trap.
