The sudden appearance of the patriarch was like a spark falling into boiling oil, igniting the anger in the hearts of the Sheep-Head believers. They were already in an uneasy and manic mood because of the failure of Akentu's arrival. After hearing the patriarch's words, there was a burst of angry screams in the hall.
"Heretics have invaded Haderland?"
"Kill them!"
"They are the culprits who angered Lord Akentu!"
The patriarch was very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. He took out a gray cloak and said, "The heretics have invaded Lord Akentu's territory and tainted the holy blood of Dusk. I ask you to capture those heretics —"
After that, he glanced at the hall and happened to meet Brando's eyes under the hood. Brando's heart skipped a beat. He thought that he had been exposed. He was very curious. How did these people know about the relationship between Fang Qi and himself?
But faster than his thoughts, in fact, the moment the other party looked at him, he had already lifted his robe and revealed the dark golden blade beneath — the blade of Holy Sword Oderfeiss.
The patriarch's eyes widened when he saw Brando suddenly pulling out the sword from under his robe. He was just casually looking in this direction. No matter how he looked at it, the disciple's action of pulling out the sword was that of a veteran. Judging from his actions, it was obvious that he was not responding to Lord Akentu's call.
There are intruders here!
The patriarch was alarmed. Just as he was about to speak, a childish voice suddenly came from the hall. "The heretics are there!"
Fang Qi heard a crisp bang. He was stunned to see a jar falling in a parabola at his feet and shattering into pieces. Before he could react to what the jar was, he saw a cloud of white smoke coming out of the broken jar.
In the darkness, no one could tell who was the one who spoke, but the sound of the jar shattering seemed to have snapped the last string in the hearts of the fanatical believers. Everyone subconsciously looked in that direction and saw that the hall was already filled with smoke, as if someone had thrown a smoke bomb in the middle of the crowd.
"There are heretics!"
"There are heretics among us!"
The fanatical followers immediately let out a burst of screams and angrily squeezed in that direction, as if they wanted to drag out the guy who caused the chaos in the crowd. However, their actions not only failed to improve the situation, but also made the hall even more chaotic. Everyone was pushing and shoving each other. In order to compete for a position to better perform in front of Lord Akentu, some people even started tearing. Soon, the tearing turned into a brawl, and the brawl evolved into a chaotic fight. The hall was in chaos. The followers in front and behind trampled on each other, and for a moment, screams were heard.
As soon as Brendel pulled out his sword, he realized that the situation had turned out this way. He was stunned. The little girl's voice did not sound like Huang Huo's, but who else was trying to create chaos here other than them?
However, this sudden scene just happened to help him. He calmed down and looked around. Suddenly, he realized that no one seemed to notice him at all. He was originally dressed as a Sheep Head disciple. Even if he pulled out his sword, the fanatical believers beside him only thought that he was responding to the Patriarch's call.
He glanced at the Sheep Head Disciple who he had previously obtained a lot of information from. He saw the man waving his hands with a red face, trying to squeeze into the crowd. He thought for a moment, then immediately grabbed Delfien's hand and retreated. Huang Huo and Mr. Liu in the crowd did not care about protecting themselves. Magadal was slightly worse, but his position was too far away from the Nun Princess, and he could not help her.
Although the crowd seemed to be pushing in the direction where Fang Qi was, Brando was not too worried. After all, even if Fang Qi was unreliable, he was not someone that ordinary followers could do anything to.
The Shepherd did not notice Brendel's actions, because the smoke that suddenly rose up to create chaos blocked his view of the hall. He obviously did not expect such a thing to happen, and was stunned for a moment. Then he flew into a rage and shouted: "What are you doing?!"
"You bunch of idiots, she's at the back!"
He stomped his feet and shouted angrily. At the same time, he ordered his followers and guards to separate the crowd. But at this time, the Patriarch suddenly saw a small figure retreating rapidly along the wall of the Holy Temple. It was the opposite direction of the crowd, and it was heading towards the back door of the Holy Temple.
The Patriarch's heart trembled, and suddenly remembered his mission. He did not care about the person who looked like a pagan intruder. He pointed in that direction and screamed, "It's her, go catch her, don't let her escape!"
Lotus was stumbling towards the back door of the hall. When she heard the scream, she could not help but tremble, but her footsteps quickened. Lute shouted under her hood, "We've been discovered, run!"
But just as she climbed onto the podium, she heard an angry roar, "Damn pagan, go to hell!"
She saw the high-ranking follower who previously presided over the ceremony on the altar with bloodshot eyes. He held a sacrificial dagger in his hand and rushed in her direction with a twisted face.
Lotus was so scared that her face turned pale. In a moment of desperation, she forgot that there was a high-ranking Sheep Head Disciple on the podium. For a moment, her hands and feet turned cold. But at this time, a fiery red light shot out from her hood and hit the dagger in the high-ranking follower's hand. With a 'ding' sound, the dagger flew out of the high-ranking follower's hand and nailed into a nearby pillar.
The high-ranking clergyman held his hand and screamed in agony. His entire arm was set ablaze.
At this time, Brando just turned his head and saw this scene. He felt Oderfeiss in his hand faintly jump. He subconsciously turned his head and saw the high-ranking follower turn into a torch.
"Lute?"
As soon as Brando saw the sword light, he reacted. It was obviously the sword light of the little fairy Lute. He had seen it once outside the elemental barrier, and the white mist also told him that the latter's power was actually a projection of the Holy Sword Oderfeiss. So it was not surprising that the Flaming Blade could sense it.
But in the chaos, the little fairy Lute apparently did not hear Brando's call. She killed the high-ranking follower with a sword and looked back to see Lotus still in a daze. He could not help but remind her angrily, "Don't be in a daze. Hurry up and leave this place. If we encounter the devil's avatar again, both of us will die!"
Only then did Lotus react. She did not have time to thank or be afraid. She hurriedly got up from the ground, carefully bypassed the high-ranking follower who was wailing and rolling on the ground, and ran in the direction of the back door behind the podium.
But sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will encounter it. Originally, she was careful enough and was far enough away from the high-ranking follower. But suddenly, the Sheep-Head follower screamed and grabbed her ankle with his left hand.
The little girl screamed. How could her strength be compared to a high-ranking member of the Sheep-Head Cult? Not to mention, the latter had used his strength before he died. She fell to the ground in an instant, and even the fairy in her hood was thrown out.
Lute was caught off guard and fell several times on the gray wooden floor of the temple before he got up with a dirty face. He looked back and suddenly became anxious because he saw the Sheep-Head follower who was covered in flames was holding Lotus's calf and desperately pulling her back, as if he wanted to hug her and both of them die together.
It was only a matter of one or two seconds. Even if it was him, he would not be able to save her in time.
But at this time, there was a sudden roar in the hall, and a wave of air swept from the center of the hall. The wave of air passed through the podium, passed by the high-ranking follower who was holding Lotus, and passed by the little fairy Lute. Immediately, the three of them were sent flying and hit the side of the wall.
It turned out that Fang Qi, who was in the crowd, was finally annoyed by the followers who kept flocking to him. He no longer cared about hiding. He directly raised his strength to the highest level, and the surging Elemental Power immediately pushed in all directions. For a moment, there was a wave of expanding shock wave in the hall, exploding from the inside out. This shock wave was only slightly stronger than a strong wind to Brando and the others. It had no effect other than blowing their hair.
But for the ordinary followers, this shock wave had become an invincible force. Those closest to the center were the first to be unlucky. They were unable to resist at all and were directly swept away by this force from the inside out. They hit the people behind them, and the people behind them were thrown off their feet. Like dominoes, they fell down one after another. The Sheep Head Cult members were in a state of chaos.
And his unintentional blow just happened to save Lotus' life. The little fairy Lute was caught off guard and his head hit the wall on the side of the podium. He was dizzy, but when he thought that Lotus was still in danger, he did not care that his whole body was falling apart. He turned over and got up from the ground, and just as he was about to look for the little girl's position.
But he saw a figure quickly pass by him. He widened his eyes and saw that the figure suddenly rushed to the high-ranking follower beside Lotus. The figure hit the follower, and the high-ranking follower, who was half wrapped in flames, was knocked off the podium.
That high-ranking clergyman was already half-dead to begin with, and after being swept into a mess by the shockwave, he was knocked off the platform. His head hit the ground and he immediately fainted. Wrapped in flames, he lost all signs of life.
Then Lute saw that the figure stopped and pulled up Lotus who was sitting on the ground. He heard Lotus's surprised voice, "Sister!"
