"Brothers of the Revenge Association, listen up! The time for vengeance has come! Raise the blades in your hands, and with our blood and lives, let us face the gods of Mingjiang Prefecture!"
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"
Everyone roared with fury as they thrust their blades swiftly into their own necks and immediately pulled them out.
Their blood gushed out rapidly, forming a blood-shaped peony flower on the riverbank.
As the flower shape materialized, in the waterways of the reservoir, countless human heads began to surface.
There were hundreds of heads in total.
Immediately after, the heads transformed into floating corpses, and hundreds of these corpses surged upriver against the current, their mouths opening in unison to sing an eerie, mournful chant.
At this moment, the Painter and Zhou Xuan arrived in haste.
"Old Hua, those floating corpses are charging upstream toward the dam gates of the reservoir," Zhou Xuan shouted.
