[Second Update]
The twelve young mages looked calm. The 160 golden armored warriors were all riding level 4 war horses, and the war horses were also covered in golden armor.
If the war horses were level 3, they would be able to charge into battle with their masters without fear of arrows. With the armor on them, they would be as powerful as intermediate swordsmen. Also, intermediate swordsmen didn't have the stamina of demon beast war horses, and they could climb mountains as if they were walking on flat ground.
Demon beast war horses were originally from another plane, and they were captured by humans and bred with other horses. Not only were they strong, but they were also much more courageous than ordinary horses. These level 4 war horses were rare thousands of years ago. At that time, they were only used by the elite armies of the royal families. Now, only high-level commanders were willing to ride them, and all the empires used them as breeding materials.
The golden armored warriors surrounded the thirteen mages and waited for their orders in the rain.
The old mage was wearing a black robe. He was short, and his face was ordinary. However, the powerful energy surging off his body didn't feel like a human's. Instead, it felt like he was a vicious dragon that was enveloped by the darkness, and he could devour all the lives in front of him at any time.
His eyes were dark red in color. Only his pupils were crystal clear, and there were fine purple lines on them.
After looking around, the old mage pointed at the place where Salin opened the tunnel and said, "It's here, but … … they are gone."
"Sir, should we follow them?" The young mage who was close to the old mage asked.
These twelve mages were also wearing long robes. Divine light flowed around their bodies, preventing the rain from soaking their clothes. The only difference was that each of them had a divine rune on their black robes, numbered from one to twelve, using the Divine Refinement Technique. The young mage who was talking to the old mage also had a godly rune on his black robe.
"No need. Let's see what they are doing here."
"Yes."
The young mage got off his horse and took out a ring that emitted a weak green light. If Salin was here, he would be surprised to see that the mages of the Holy Church also had a Gift Ring, and they could even activate the godly spells stored on it.
"My Lord, should we inform the two Inquisitors and try to stop them?" asked another young mage in a low voice. They had a very close relationship with this old man. If it was someone else, they would not dare to raise any opinions or suggestions in front of this old man.
"There's no need. Just let the two of them pay attention to Cloudy Mist City. Hehe, so many people are watching Great Liang City. I just don't understand why Salin sneaked out. There must be something more important than Great Liang City. Otherwise, why would that little guy leave his wife? "
From the old man's tone, one could tell that he was a man of his word. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a tone to talk to the other two chief judges. The only one in the Inquisition who could speak like this was the Chief Inquisitor, the most powerful person in the Inquisition, a tenth level mage.
The young mage was speechless. The Chief Inquisitor had personally come and brought all twelve of them with him. This showed how much importance he attached to this matter. The second and third chief judges didn't participate in the matter of Great Liang City, and it was also decided by the Chief Inquisitor. Originally, the Chief Inquisitor wanted to go to Great Liang City. Who knew that the king of the Metatlin Kingdom, the ninth level mage Salin, had secretly left Great Liang City, and no one knew where he went.
In the years when the Inquisition was born, it had captured a lot of mages, but it didn't mean that the Inquisition would look down on mages. The more powerful mages they captured, the more the Inquisition would respect them. Even after the overall increase in power on the continent, a ninth level mage was still the most powerful among the powerful mages.
Even though the Chief Inquisitor was a new level ten mage, he didn't dare to say that he could win against a peak ninth level mage.
After all, this was a big gap, and many people thought that it was unsurpassable. But the Chief Judge clearly knew that some 9th Rank High Mages had very powerful equipment. These pieces of equipment left behind from ancient times could even make up for the gap of half a major rank. In the hands of a peak 9th Rank High Mage, it was enough to kill powerhouses below the 12th Rank.
Everything about Salin had been reported to the Chief Inquisitor, and he had a better understanding of this person. This Salin definitely had powerful equipment in his hands. Otherwise, the army that went on an expedition to Metatlin City wouldn't have been destroyed. At that time, be it the Inquisition or the College, they all thought that Metatlin City would be destroyed.
This was because there was a person who had a level ten Thunder Dragon among the experts.
The level ten Thunder Dragon was killed, and the Golden Sword Saint was not even left. How could the Chief Inquisitor take Salin lightly?
The group of people who had tracked Salin were the Chief Inquisitor and his twelve trusted Adjudicators. These twelve Arbiters were originally eighth-level mages, but after the arrival of the divine emissary, they were blessed and successfully advanced to the ninth level. The Chief Inquisitor, on the other hand, directly advanced to the tenth level, one step ahead of Dinicio.
The golden armored warriors were the top forces of the Inquisition. They would only leave the Inquisition when the Chief Inquisitor was dispatched. Other than the Chief Inquisitor, even the Pope couldn't command them.
The equipment of these people was also made in imitation of the Divine Kingdom's Knights. Only the people of the Holy Church knew about this.
The young mage had already used the Ring of Blessing to open a passage to the Shrine. The golden armored warriors rushed in and came out not long after.
"My Lord, there's nothing here."
"Nothing?"
"There's a huge space inside, opened by magic. But there's nothing here, only … land. "
Although the Chief Inquisitor understood, he still didn't understand. Why would Salin come to such a place?
"My Lord, is this the evil god's palace?" A young mage asked.
The Chief Inquisitor didn't want to enter the passage. After pondering in the rain for a moment, the Chief Inquisitor said, "This time, they didn't fly. It's easy to find traces on the ground. Let's follow them and catch them. We'll know what they're doing then."
"Yes."
The mages didn't say anything else. More than a hundred golden armored warriors got on their horses and turned around, chasing in the direction Salin had gone. The Chief Inquisitor was still analyzing in his heart. This should be the evil god's palace, but why was it empty?
.
No matter how smart the Chief Inquisitor was, he wouldn't have thought that Salin would empty such a huge Shrine.
Salin didn't know that the leader of the Inquisition, the Chief Inquisitor, was personally following his team. But out of caution, Salin still asked Nicholas to use a small prophecy spell to erase as much of his traces as possible.
The group hurried on. The running speed of a creature like an Incubus would be amazing in the Undead Plane. Even in the Myers Continent, a level four warhorse couldn't catch up with it. Although the thunderstorm area was large, Salin and the others quickly left the range of the rainstorm.
Running in the wilderness, the speed of an Incubus was similar to that of an ordinary mage flying. It was extremely dangerous. But Isabella, the weakest among Salin's team, had the strength of a Sacred Swordsman, so there wouldn't be any accidents when she controlled the Incubus.
Under Neris's lead, the team quickly entered the mountains and galloped in the canyon. Along the way, they scared away many magical beasts and broke many withered trees.
The Incubus was almost walking on air. In the Undead Plane, they could even fly.
Like this, they hurried on. After traveling for more than a thousand miles, Salin let everyone rest. This was Isabella's limit. The two Golden Sacred Swordsman didn't feel tired at all. Riding on a mount was much easier than relying on the Sacred Swordsman's own strength to run.
Isabella also knew that it was because of her that Salin had stopped. They were in a riverbed. The river had already dried up. Salin asked Eleanor to set up a spell to prevent a flash flood when they set up camp. These people and Evil Demons weren't afraid of flash floods, but there was no need to put themselves in a difficult situation.
The camp was quickly set up. Shika then asked Salin, "Why did you stop?"
If it was because of Isabella, she could totally summon a Spirit Beast to fly and bring Isabella along.
"Someone is looking for us. They've been following us for thousands of miles, but they haven't found the right direction. But they will find us sooner or later. Let's set up a trap here. If they catch up, see if we can kill them. If they can't find us, we can also leave a diversion here and let the Evil Demons head south … "
"Master, it's the Divine Masters of the Holy See who are chasing us. My small prophecy spell has been broken a few times." Nicholas looked worried. Now that his small prophecy spell had reached great success, even a level nine expert couldn't successfully break it. It could be seen that among the people chasing Salin, there were even more terrifying fellows.
"I know. Here, other than the Divine Masters, who else would be so annoying and chase us so relentlessly?" Salin said as he began to set up magic traps around the camp.
There were high mountains on both sides of the riverbed, and they were very steep. Eleanor flew up the cliff and found a place to hide. Zola followed her up.
Eleanor wasn't weak in close combat, but the people chasing her were strong. Salin had to be careful. Her long-range bow and arrow were stronger than level nine spells. Close combat could be left to a Gold Sword Saint like Zola.
Shika and Nicholas were beside Salin.
Winter finally obtained his weapon, the Godhunter Spear. With the Godhunter Spear in hand, Winter's confidence grew. The people chasing them this time were from the Holy See. Based on his own sharp senses, he thought that the experts of the Judgement Hall had been mobilized. His daughter had died in the Judgement Hall. Winter hated the people of the Judgement Hall even more than Salin did.
Salin didn't set up powerful magic traps. Magic traps could only be used against people of lower levels. If he wanted to win, he still had to rely on his own strength.
Unfortunately, the remaining power in the Godhunter Spear was too little. After absorbing the energy shield, the power of the Salin family emblem was still not enough to release a powerful lightning attack. Salin was relying on the Thunder Dragon Spear and Nelis's 12 Movements of Purgatory.
