It was a busy scene in the Dark Temple at this time. With the arrival of Dark Tianji's order, Fury temporarily became the supreme commander here. He led six purple-robed high priests to integrate all the forces in the Dark Temple. They took away all the valuable things. It took them ten days to complete all this. Now they were ready to go. Except for the formations engraved on the buildings, they had brought everything that could be taken.
There were also hundreds of thousands of dark army in the Dark Temple, more than 100,000 backup devils and more than 8,000 elite dark devils. It was definitely a force that could not be underestimated.
Dark Tianji had not returned to the Dark Temple since he went to the Holy Evil Island. He only sent back the news that they were going to the Holy Evil Island on the second day after he left. Fury had already learned from Ji Dong what happened on the Holy Evil Island. At the same time, he told Ji Dong the detailed time of departure of the dark army here. He did not say much else. He had absolute confidence in his junior brother. Ji Dong would definitely make the best arrangements.
In the inner castle's meeting hall.
The six purple-robed High Priests sat on either side of Fury. They did not show any signs of dissatisfaction on their faces. Fury's ability to command in the past ten days was no weaker than Li Yonghao's. Moreover, he was the son of Dark Secrets and a powerful Nine-crown Devil Master. Although the six purple-robed High Priests were not completely convinced, they were still able to accept Fury's command from the bottom of their hearts.
"We are going to set off tomorrow morning. Do you have any suggestions? After all, I am not familiar with the road here. "Fury asked the purple-robed high priests.
The chief high priest said, "We have hundreds of thousands of troops. We can only go to the Holy Evil Island along the official road. From here to the Holy Evil Island, even at the fastest speed, I am afraid it will take a month. Everything is up to the young master."
Fury smiled slightly and said, "I have just joined. I still need to rely on your great support."
Right at this moment, the eyes of the seven people present, including Fury, suddenly narrowed at the same time. They looked towards the entrance of the spiral staircase with astonishment in their eyes. It was also at this moment that black figures appeared one after another in their line of sight.
They were all tall figures, each of them dressed in black. Underneath the black clothes, their bodies were extremely burly. As they moved, one could vaguely see the different colored armors under the black clothes. They wore black balaclavas on their heads, revealing only their eyes. They were a pair of dead grey eyes, without any signs of life.
"Who is it that dares to trespass into the Inner Castle?" Fury bellowed angrily. At the same time, he was filled with astonishment. Ever since the attack by the Saints, the defenses of the inner castle had been greatly strengthened. It was no longer comparable to the past. These ten strange men in black were able to come here without alerting any of the guards. Could it be that they were all Saint-class experts?!
"Young master, don't be impatient." When the Chief High Priest saw the ten men in black, he was clearly not as shocked as Fury was. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and stood in front of the ten men in black.
In a deep voice, he said, "Are you all here under the orders of Lord Tianji?"
The ten men in black stood there like ten statues and did not make any sound. The leader of the men in black raised his hand, and in his palm that was completely covered in black cloth, a pitch-black token appeared. On the black token, there were white gems inlaid in the shape of a skull. When Fury took a closer look, he was shocked to discover that the white gems were actually small pieces of Jade of Heaven.
After taking a closer look at the token, the Chief High Priest's expression had already calmed down. He nodded slightly to the ten men in black and said, "Since Lord Tianji has sent you all here, I'll have to trouble you all."
The ten men in black still did not make a sound. At the same time, they turned around and left through the spiral staircase. Just like when they came, they did not make any sound at all. The entire process was extremely orderly.
"Who are they?" Fury and the Chief High Priest shot an inquiring look.
The Chief High Priest said, "They should be Lord Tianji's personal guards, the Darkness Death Guards. That's great. It seems that Lord Tianji is also worried that those Holy Disciples will attack us along the way, so he sent the Darkness Death Guards here."
Fury continued to ask, "What are these Darkness Death Guards? I can't sense their cultivation level, and they are all so mysterious. "
The Chief High Priest's expression turned solemn, and he said, "Young master, we can't say much about the Darkness Death Guards. You should wait until you see Lord Tianji and ask him personally. This time, with the ten Darkness Death Guards following us, the journey will be much more peaceful. If those Holy Disciples dare to come, it's fine if they don't, but if they dare to come, we will make sure that they will not be able to leave."
Seeing that the purple-robed High Priests were unwilling to say much, Fury's heart was in turmoil. Where did these Darkness Death Guards come from? Even these purple-robed High Priests respected them so much. Are they also Nine-crowned Powerhouses? No, it can't be that simple. I must immediately inform Little Junior Brother about the existence of these Darkness Death Guards, but I don't know what abilities they have.
…
"Darkness Death Guards?" Ji Dong frowned. Fury immediately told them about the appearance of the ten Darkness Death Guards. They couldn't sense any vitality or mana fluctuations from them, but they were respected by the purple-robed High Priest. What kind of existence were they?
At this time, the Holy Disciples of Light Heavenly Stem were already at the teleportation point 500 miles away from the Darkness Temple. Their plan was to wait for the Darkness Army to leave the Darkness Temple for three days before taking action. They would constantly harass and attack the Darkness Army to reduce their numbers to achieve their goal. The magicians and troops of the Darkness Temple would need a month to reach the Holy Evil Island, which was enough for them to do a lot of things, especially with the existence of Fury, who could constantly provide them with the necessary information. However, the appearance of the ten Darkness Death Guards caused some changes in Ji Dong's heart. Who were these guys that suddenly came? Were they Tianji's secret weapons?
"Tianji, do you know what Darkness Death Guards are?" Ji Dong had already relayed Fury's message to his companions. Everyone else had a blank look on their faces. Only Tianji was deep in thought.
Tianji said in a deep voice, "I can't be sure now, I just have some guesses. If it's really like what I guessed, then I'm afraid we're in trouble this time. These Darkness Death Guards seem to have verified my previous premonition."
Mo 'er pulled Tianji's hand and said, "Yun, don't keep us in suspense. What's the origin of these Darkness Death Guards? Our organization has never heard of them. "
Tianji said, "From Fury's description and the way they called them, they are very likely not human."
"Not human? Then what are they? "Mo 'er asked in surprise.
Tianji said, "They're corpses."
Mo 'er gasped and said, "Yun, are you kidding? Corpses? How can they be corpses? Can corpses also walk? Can they attack? "
Tianji frowned and said in a deep voice, "Of course not, ordinary corpses can't. But if it's the corpse of a Nine Crown Saint, then it's hard to say. According to the records of Tianji, this kind of Death Guard is extremely terrifying, but it's also very difficult to refine. They need to constantly consume the blood of living people to maintain their vitality. Once the refinement is successful, they only have a subconscious mind and will be controlled by the refiner or some special tool created by the refiner. Their strength will not be lower than when they were alive. Although there is no possibility of improvement, they are not afraid of death, and they don't know what pain is. It can be said that they are a cruel killing machine. The Death Guards refined into Death Guards will also leave their souls in their bodies. Once the Death Guard is broken, their souls will instantly dissipate, and they will never be able to reincarnate. Therefore, this method of refining Death Guards is an absolute taboo in our Radiance Continent. It's too vicious, and the success rate of refining is not high. The Darkness Death Guards that Fury mentioned might be this kind of thing. If that's the case, then the opponents we have to face will be more terrifying than we can imagine. Their overall strength may even be above the Dark Heavenly Disciples, and they will absolutely obey the orders of Dark Heavenly Secrets. " Hearing Tianji's words, the Radiance Heavenly Disciples were silent. At the same time, their gazes gathered on Ji Dong, waiting for him to make a decision.
Ji Dong lowered his head and pondered. After a while, when he raised his head again, the Radiance Heavenly Disciples saw a resolute look on his face.
Looking at his companions, Ji Dong said in a deep voice, "If everything is as Tianji guessed, then this trip is very likely to be dangerous. With the existence of the 10 Dark Death Guards, I'm afraid that our advantage of agility will be gone. It's very likely that we will have to confront the enemy head-on. Moreover, there are six purple-robed high priests there. Senior Brother, you can't expose yourself at this time. At least, we must present ourselves as enemies on the battlefield. What we have to face is likely to be 17 Supreme Masters, which is already a force that we can't defeat. However, this time, we have to go. There is no other choice. This force can indeed pose a threat to us, but if we let them join forces with Dark Tianji, we will have no chance to take action. Although we have achieved some progress, it is not enough to completely affect the overall situation. Only by killing these Dark Death Guards, who are likely to be the secret weapons of Dark Tianji, and killing all the evil masters of the Dark Temple who are going to the Holy Evil Island, can we really cut off Dark Tianji's right-hand man."
Yao Qian said, "Then let's go. Isn't it just 17 Supreme Masters? We also have the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Circulation Formation, so we may be able to kill them all. "
Ji Dong said, "We don't know the strength of those Dark Death Guards, so we can't act rashly before we know their real strength. Therefore, I have to test how strong these Dark Death Guards are. If possible, I will try to kill one of them through a sneak attack. In that case, at least we can break their Ten Elements, and then it will be much easier for us to deal with them."
"No, it's too dangerous." Tianji said resolutely.
Ji Dong smiled and said, "Yun, have you forgotten? Before we entered the darkness of the Five Elements Continent, you had predicted that we would be safe this time. With your prediction of Heaven's Secrets, what do we have to be afraid of? Don't worry, although I may not be able to kill them, I should have no problem escaping unscathed. Don't you believe in my strength? "
The Holy Disciples looked at each other. Indeed, as Ji Dong said, as long as there was no Dark Tianji, who could stop him? The others remained silent, but Chen Sixuan said, "Then let me go with you. It will be safer if we can take care of each other."
Ji Dong looked at her, and from her eyes, he saw an incomparably determined expression. He didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, so he said, "Alright, then you will go with me. Everyone can rest assured now. Follow the Dark Army from afar, and if Sixuan and I need help, I will send a signal to you. Before receiving my signal, no one should act rashly."
After getting the approval of his companions, Ji Dong gave Chen Sixuan a look, and the two of them leaped up and landed on the back of the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon. The huge black and white body rose into the sky, wrapped in thick fog, and rose into the sky.
Ji Dong was about to walk to the head of the Maotai, but Chen Sixuan pulled him back.
"What's wrong, Sixuan?" Ji Dong looked at her, puzzled.
Chen Sixuan said, "Ji Dong, I'm afraid the Death Guards that Tianji mentioned are not as simple as they seem. I've seen similar records in an ancient book. In that ancient book, the existence of Death Guards is against nature and requires a large amount of energy every day. Therefore, if they don't have enough energy to support them, they won't be able to exist for a long time. After all, although their crystal crown is still there, it can't operate like when they were alive. Since Fury told you that those purple robed high priests know these Death Guards, it's obvious that these Death Guards have existed for a very long time. If that's the case, they must have treasures or living beings that can replenish their magic power. Moreover, these Death Guards are not only fearless, but also completely obedient to their creator's orders. As long as they go through a certain amount of training, their teamwork will be unmatched by any living person. A supreme expert of ten attributes, coupled with perfect teamwork and unknown treasures …"
