Li Fei tidied up her hair and recovered some of the charm of the vice-headmaster. She said, "There are around five thousand Mara occupying the Radiant Saint Hall. They're basically all Two-winged Mara and Poisonous Mara. They're led by a Holy King level demon god called Shaliwen."
"Holy King?"
Xi Yan frowned.
"Yes." Li Fei nodded and asked, "Sir Xi Yan, with your current strength, if you meet this Sally, do you have the confidence to defeat her?"
"If it's just one Holy King, then there's no problem. But if there's over five thousand Mara, then it'll be a little troublesome. These Mara are like flies that can't be killed completely. They're everywhere and extremely annoying."
"Yeah, so if we want to take back the Radiant Ore, we need to draw away Mara's army. However, we don't have enough people. If I draw them away, I'll definitely die. If you draw them away, I'm afraid I won't be able to take back the ore from Shaliwen."
As she said that, Li Fei crossed her long legs. Her face was filled with melancholy, as if she wanted to smoke a cigar to relieve her worries.
Xi Yan remained silent. She said, "Do we need to find some more helpers?"
"Yes."
Li Fei said, "Lady Xi Yan, do you still remember Tarilyn and Lake?"
"Of course. Where are they?"
"Before the Heavenly Wrath descended, they had already returned to the Western Divine Realm. However, they were punished by the ruler, so they were imprisoned in the Western Divine Realm's Redemption Ridge prison. After so much time has passed … I think they're probably done for. The Redemption Ridge has either been invaded by Mara, or they've starved to death due to a lack of food …"
"The Redemption Ridge isn't far from here. Shall we … go take a look now?"
"Yes."
In the night, the door to the secret room opened gently. Xi Yan and Li Fei turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the pitch-black night.
…
The Redemption Ridge was barren. All the houses here had been burned down by Mara's group. As for the prison, it was built inside the mountain and was only guarded by a small sealed iron gate.
On the iron door, the lock that symbolized power and imprisonment glowed faintly and was locked on the door in perfect condition.
Xi Yan was stunned. "The prison was not discovered, nor was it opened …"
"Oh no, are they still inside?"
Xi Yan slashed open the seal lock with one palm and flew into the dungeon. It was dark and damp everywhere, and there were only a few small doors on both sides of the stone path. The dungeon was a small space carved out of the mountain, and the surrounding space laws were sealed, so there was no way to break through the void to escape. Staying here would only lead to death.
"Tarilyn! Tarilyn! "
Xi Yan shouted a few times, but no one responded. She couldn't help but feel distressed. Had Tarilyn really starved to death here?
Li Fei suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed into the distance. "Sir, look, there seems to be light over there!"
A beam of dim light came from afar. Sure enough, there was still light in the dungeon!
Xi Yan quickly walked in and saw that the door of a cell was opened. There were four people sitting against the wall inside, two of them were Tarilyn and Lake. They were so hungry that they were almost skin and bones, and there was no light in their eyes. When they saw Xi Yan and Li Fei, Tarilyn's eyes suddenly lit up. She said in disbelief, "Lady Xi Yan … Deputy Dean Li Fei …"
"You're really not dead! That's great, that's great! "Li Fei was overjoyed.
Xi Yan could see that Tarilyn and the others were at their limit, and they would definitely starve to death if they came a day or two later. She quickly took out some fine food from her dimensional bag and placed it in front of everyone with water. "Don't talk first, eat something to restore your strength," she said.
"Thank … Thank you, Lady Xi Yan …" Tarilyn and Lake thanked her together.
After eating a little, Tarilyn leaned softly against the cold wall and closed her eyes to rest.
After nearly an hour, they recovered a lot of strength and opened their eyes. Tarilyn said, "This place has been occupied by the Demon Realm. Lady Xi Yan, why are you back?"
"Let's not talk about me first. Let me ask you, what happened here?"
"Actually …" Tarilyn paused for a while before continuing, "As soon as we came back, we were imprisoned here by the order of the ruler. We don't know what happened outside. We can only hear the cries of the Demon Realm and the screams of the Battle Angels when they were killed. We all know that the Western Divine Realm has fallen …"
"How did you last so long?" Xi Yan asked.
Tarilyn said, "We broke the door of the room, but because we lost our divine power, we couldn't open the door of the prison. Deputy Dean Li Fei also came once, but she couldn't open the door and left. These days, we can only rely on the little food left in the prison to survive. When we ran out of food, we dug the bracken underground and some hard to swallow crystal fragments …"
"You guys actually eat crystal?"
"Yes." Tarilyn looked depressed. "There were originally fifteen people in the prison, but then people kept dying … until now, only the four of us are left."
Xi Yan was a little surprised.
Tarilyn smiled bitterly. "Lady Xi Yan, please don't misunderstand. The dead have been buried by us. We are the angels of the Western Divine Realm, we will never eat our companions."
Xi Yan said with relief, "You've worked hard, Tarilyn. You did the right thing. Now that I have returned to the Western Divine Realm, the first thing I want to do is to take back the Primal Light Stone of the Temple of Light and resurrect Eva. Are you willing to help me? "
"We are willing!"
Tarilyn, Lake and the others got up and bowed.
At this moment, in the eyes of the people of the Western Divine Realm, Xi Yan was the real ruler. As for Claude, he was just a villain who escaped and was not worthy of being called a ruler.
… …
"But …"
Lake held the bowl and frowned. "But we have all lost our divine power. We are just mortals. How can we help Lady Xi Yan take back the Primal Light Stone … To be honest, it is difficult for me to even condense the King's Combat Flame."
Tarilyn smiled. "You don't have to be reckless to take back the Primal Light Stone, right?"
Xi Yan asked in surprise, "You have a way?"
"I know a very important piece of news."
"Well, tell me!"
Tarilyn stood up and said, "The person guarding the Redemption Ridge Prison was originally the Radiant Angel Mark. Before Mark left, he revealed a piece of news to me. Claude escaped in a hurry and left the artifact Lost Paradise in his room. As long as we can enter Claude's room and find the Lost Paradise, we can use the Lost Paradise to create an illusion and lure away the demon army of the Light Temple. We can take back the Primal Light Stone without bloodshed. What do you think, Lady Xi Yan?"
"The Lost Paradise is very powerful. If we can really find it, it is indeed possible. However, if we have the ability to enter Claude's room and steal the Lost Paradise, it is much easier to steal the Primal Light Stone."
Li Fei giggled. "That may not be true. Claude's room is not heavily guarded, and there is no Mara guarding it at all. On the other hand, the Primal Light Stone is guarded by three layers inside and three layers outside. It is very difficult to get it. I think Tarilyn's suggestion is very feasible."
"Then let's act according to this plan. I will steal the Lost Paradise tonight." Xi Yan said in a low voice.
"But …" Tarilyn blinked her eyes. "After all, that is an area occupied by the Demon World. Once Lady Xi Yan is discovered, it may be very troublesome."
"It's okay, I have this." Xi Yan gently opened her left hand, and suddenly a mask with a faint luster appeared in her hand. She said, "This thing is called the Mask of Nothingness. It can disguise myself so that Mara cannot detect me. Even if I am close, it is impossible for them to discover that I am a different species. This will do."
Tarilyn was stunned. "Lady Xi Yan … Have you really met someone from the Demon World?"
"More than just meeting." Xi Yan sighed. "This Mask of Nothingness was given to me by Zi Yan. Zi Yan, that despicable and shameless guy, used me to complete his power seizure in the Demon World. Now, Zi Yan is the Lord of the Demon World."
Tarilyn said helplessly, "Then please be careful, Lady. We will wait for you here?"
"Alright."
Xi Yan took a deep breath and said, "My power alone is too weak. Once I can resurrect Eva, the power of two Seraphim will be enough to take back the Radiant Temple. At that time … we will do everything we can to restore your power."
"Yes!"
…
Late at night, in the side hall of the Radiant Temple.
As a ruler, Claude had always been cautious. His residence was not in the main hall of the Radiant Temple, but in a slightly remote side hall. At this time, it was already overgrown with weeds, snakes, and rats. It was very barren.
"Rustle …"
With light footsteps, Xi Yan, wrapped in a demon cloak, slowly walked through the corridor. Her face was covered by the Mask of Nothingness, which conjured the face of Mara.
As she walked, there was suddenly a sharp whistle from the eaves to the side. It was a patrolling two-winged Mara. He landed on the eaves and roared at Xi Yan, "Brat, who are you? Why have you appeared here? Don't you know that this place has been listed as a forbidden zone by Lady Sharlivan?"
Xi Yan raised his head and looked at the two-winged Mara. His hand gently moved towards the hilt of his sword.
Unexpectedly, the two-winged Mara's expression immediately changed. He smiled awkwardly. "Alright, alright. I was just saying casually. Brother, do whatever you want to do. I'll pretend like I didn't see anything. Don't draw your sword just because you don't like it!"
Xi Yan did not speak and continued to walk forward. The two-winged Mara also tactfully flew away. It seemed that it was the same in the Realm of Devils. Causing less trouble and doing more things was their code of conduct. It was very similar to humans!
With a squeak, she pushed open the door of Claude's room that had been abandoned for a long time. It was clear that the place had been searched. The bookshelves and weapon racks had been pushed down.
Xi Yan squinted her eyes. She used her divine power to search a little and sensed the location of the Lost Paradise. She spread her five fingers and covered the wall, and a faint suction force generated from her palm slid out with a brick. The brick was hollow, and in the center was a fist-sized crystal. There were endless changes inside, and it was the Lost Paradise.
"You're really here..."
Xi Yan held the Lost Paradise and put it into her space bag. She turned and quietly left the room, as if she had never been there.
