CHAPTER 1371: CHAPTER 602: MIRACLE! THE CENTAURS KNEEL IN ALLEGIANCE!

Under the eyes of all, the body of Xie Li Khan’s son began to transform!

First, his upper body started to crack open, inch by inch, bright red blood gushing out.

Next, his two arms began to disappear, retracting back into his body.

Xie Li II screamed, "Father, save me, save me..."

Xie Li Khan stepped forward, desperately grabbing his son’s arms to stop them from retracting.

But no matter how much strength he used, Xie Li II’s arms gradually vanished.

Then his face began to change, stretching longer and longer.

Incredibly, it transformed from a human face into a horse’s face.

Two human eyes turned into a horse’s eyes.

A human mouth turned into a horse’s mouth.

Boundless terror filled the hearts of all the centaurs in the square.

It was too horrifying; the punishment of the Moon Demon God had truly arrived, turning Xie Li II from a centaur back into a horse.

He was stripped of the bloodline of the Moon Demon God’s people.

Too shocking, too astonishing...

Everything unfolded right before everyone’s eyes.

Then, there was no doubt left—this bound Near-Human Tribe was the messenger of the Moon Demon God, or the actual incarnation of the Moon Demon God in the world.

At this moment, everyone remembered Lanling, bound, being burned.

"Quickly save the messenger of the Moon Demon God, quick, quick..." suddenly someone shouted.

Xie Li Khan snapped out of his stupor and rushed towards Lanling.

At this moment, no words could describe his panic, his overwhelming fear.

He did not fear death, nor battle; he only feared the wrath of the Moon Demon God.

The most terrifying thing was that not only his son would receive retribution, he too would be punished, stripped of the bloodline of the Moon Demon God’s people and turned into a horse.

And of course, there was an even more terrifying outcome.

That would be the entire tribe suffering misfortune, the whole Xie Li Tribe being stripped of their bloodline, all becoming lowly beasts—horses.

In such a case, Xie Li Khan would be a sinner of the ages, unable to atone for his sins even in death a thousand times over.

Therefore, Xie Li Khan tossed aside his son, who was transforming into a horse, and dashed towards Lanling, trying to save him from the raging fire.

Yet...

When he witnessed this scene, he was completely dumbfounded!

In the blazing light of the fire, Lanling was unharmed, without a single mark upon him!

In this world, some members of the Demon Race are of Demon Bloodline who, when injured, heal rapidly. Even after being burned alive, they gradually recover.

But someone like Lanling, unscathed in the flames, was unprecedented and unheard of!

Only a god could exhibit such a miracle!

Perhaps the Near-Human Tribe before him was not merely the messenger of the Moon Demon God, but the Moon Demon God himself. Except, for a god to descend into this world, a physical vessel was needed! So the person seen before him was merely an apparition of the Moon Demon God in this world?

In the firelight, Lanling gazed at Xie Li Khan, at the innumerable centaurs in the square, and coldly said, "You have greatly disappointed me!"

These words struck like heavy hammers, pounding harshly upon the hearts of all the centaurs.

Instantly, Xie Li Khan fell to his knees.

The entire grand square’s centaurs collectively and uniformly knelt down.

"Every day, you have built golden statues for me, which moved me deeply, and due to the thought of Xie Li having no heirs, I came to save!" Lanling said in the tone of a divine prophet: "Who knew Xie Li would betray me, imprison me, and attempt to enslave me! Is this how you treat your god?"

His voice was not loud, but in his final words, it rose sharply.

Suddenly, all the centaurs shuddered violently.

"Enough, enough, enough..." Lanling imitated the tone of the Moon Demon God: "For the sake of sculpting the golden statues for countless years, I will give you another ten years. After ten years... the Xie Li Tribe will officially come to an end. After ten years, no more centaurs shall be born among your next generations! We part ways in good terms!"

With that said, Lanling in the firelight was about to leave.

Lanling’s words ignited the deepest fears in all the centaurs’ hearts.

The Moon Demon God intended to sever the bloodline of their entire tribe, in ten years, the Xie Li Tribe would face complete extinction.

In an instant, the fearless centaurs cried out loudly, desperately kowtowing, until they bled.

Xie Li Khan desperately kowtowed, again and again and again!

Until his entire head was bloody and mangled, even the hard stone ground was cracked by his head.

At this moment, no words could describe his fear, despair, regret!

Why did he treat the Moon Demon God like this? Truly deserving a thousand deaths, now not only has his son turned back into a horse, the entire tribe is facing extermination.

"I, Xie Li, am the sinner of the ages, the sinner of the ages!"

Why was I so foolish? I should have realized that the appearance of this Near-Human Tribe was a divine will, sent by the Moon Demon God to save my son, otherwise how could he have known my son was in the demon den?

It was my own foolishness and baseness that led to this offense against the great Moon Demon God.

After countless kowtows, Xie Li Khan raised his head and said to Lanling: "Great God, all of this stems from my ignorance and foolishness, please believe in my devout faith in you, please believe that the entire Xie Li Tribe is devoutly faithful to you. All blame lies with me alone, Xie Li, I am willing to commit suicide to atone. Please spare the whole tribe!"

With that said, Xie Li Khan drew out a giant sword, ready to cut his neck and end his life!
