Xuan Yuan glanced at his nephew and said indifferently, "You guys decide how to proceed. I'm only in charge of killing. I won't interfere with anything else." Although the Holy Hall's team seemed to be led by Xuan Yuan, Xuan Ye was actually the one in command. Na Yen and Ba Bylon were assisting from the side.
Seeing that Xuan Ye was rebuffed, Ba Bylon, who was behind Xuan Yuan, could not help snickering. In the Holy Hall, only Pope and Xuan Yuan could teach Xuan Ye a lesson like this.
On the other side of Xuan Yuan, Na Yen said, "Priest Xuan Ye is right. Let's do it this way. We just bought enough food for 10 days yesterday. We should be able to last until the mission is completed. Once we enter the Heaven's Yuan Clan, we'll definitely attract the attention of the other races with so many people, so there's no need for us to hide anymore. Let's gather as soon as possible and charge into the nest of the Dark Demon Race with lightning speed. We'll take them all out in one fell swoop. Presiding judge, you're the leader after all, so you can't just sit back and listen! " Na Yen was the oldest among the four red-robed priests, but he was also the least ambitious. Especially after his daughter Nasha married Xuan Ye, he rarely participated in the affairs of the Holy Hall. He believed that the young Xuan Ye would definitely become the next Pope. So, he had been helping Xuan Ye secretly in all aspects, making him more and more famous in the Holy Hall. He had vaguely become the leader of the four red-robed priests.
Obviously, Xuan Yuan was much more polite to Na Yen than to Xuan Ye. He nodded and said, "That's good! Let's do as you say. I'm really looking forward to the Dark Demon Race. I hope they will have some tricks up their sleeves. " He was addicted to martial arts. Since the last time he was bombarded by Dumby's Heavenly Thunder, he had been practicing hard for more than a year. His martial arts skills had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, he wanted to find an opponent who could compete with him to see how far his martial arts had progressed. If it were not for Pope restraining him, he would have already gone to find the four sword saints.
It was the first time in the past 100 years that the Holy Hall had such a large-scale operation. Whether it was Xuan Ye, Na Yen, Xuan Yuan or Ba Bylon, they all had absolute confidence in their side. With such a strong team, they did not care about the Dark Demon Race at all. Xuan Ye did not bring his wife, Nasha. He was still very cautious. Nasha and Xuanyue were the two most important people in his heart. He did not want his beloved wife to be in any danger. Because of this, Nasha even quarreled with him. In the end, she reluctantly stayed in the Holy Hall under Na Yen's dissuasion.
In the evening, more than a thousand people from the Holy Hall finally walked out of the grassland of the Yalian people. Looking at the large forest in front of him, Xuan Ye stopped and looked at the sky. He took out a map from his bosom to identify the direction. He said to Ba Bui who was not far behind him, "No, you command everyone to gather here. We will rest outside the forest for the night. We will start the operation tomorrow morning." In order to train Ba Bui's leadership skills, Xuan Ye had been asking him to contact the scattered people of the Holy Hall. There were no mistakes.
At this moment, a whistle was heard. Suddenly, more than ten black shadows appeared in the dark sky. Xuan Ye was shocked. He hurriedly chanted a light defense spell. White light shone out of his body. The surrounding people of the Holy Hall suddenly became vigilant. Those black shadows quickly rushed towards Xuan Ye and the others. A few Light Judges had already pulled out their weapons and stood in front of Xuan Ye, ready to react at any time. Those black shadows floated to the ground five meters in front of Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye fixed his eyes on them. These black shadows were all monsters wrapped in black clothes. The reason why they were called monsters was that although they had the appearance of humans, they had a pair of huge wings on their back. The color of the wings was different. Each of them held a long sword in their hand. They stared at Xuan Ye and the others with vigilance.
Xuan Ye's heart moved. He took a few steps forward and said, "Excuse me, are you the Winged People of the Sky Yuan Clan?"
A person with red wings took two steps forward and looked at Xuan Ye up and down. He said, "Yes, we are the seventh patrol team of the Winged People. Who are you? Why are you so close to our territory? Don't you know that the Sky Yuan Clan does not welcome humans? No matter what your purpose is, please leave this place as soon as possible. "
Xuan Ye smiled and said, "I have always heard that the Winged People are a peaceful race. Why? Is this how you treat your friends? We are from the Holy Hall. We have come to your territory for an important matter. We will rest here today. I'm afraid we will need to borrow the road to your territory tomorrow morning. Can you make an exception? "
Hearing Xuan Ye say that they were from the Holy Hall, the person with red wings relaxed a lot. He said indifferently, "You are from the Holy Hall. Can you tell me why you are here?"
Xuan Ye looked at Xuan Yuan and smiled, "I'm afraid I can't do that. I know you are doubting our identity. How about this, please take me to the patriarch of your Winged People. When I see him, I will tell him the purpose of the Holy Hall. Before I see the patriarch, we will not take a step into the forest. What do you think?"
The person with red wings said, "You are going to see the patriarch alone? Can you represent the Holy Hall? "
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "That's right, it's just me. There are so many of you here, so surely you're not afraid that I'll cause trouble, right? I am the Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Xuan Ye. I can represent the people of the Holy Hall to make the decision. " He knew that the Sky Yuan Territory was the territory of many alien races. If he did not build a good relationship with the races here, it would be difficult to find the Dark Demon Race in this vast land. The Winged People with a good reputation was a good way for him to build a relationship with the races of Sky Yuan Territory. The Winged People was another race in the Sky Yuan Territory that could be compared to the Elves. As long as he had their support, the operation to eliminate the Dark Demon Race would be twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, Xuan Ye put away his arrogance and spoke to the person with red wings.
The person with red wings lowered his head in deep thought. He seemed to be afraid of the Holy Hall. His expression softened a lot and he said, "Alright. Since you are from the Holy Hall, come with me. However, do not enter the forest without our permission. Otherwise, you will be responsible for anything that happens. "
Seeing that the person had softened his tone, Xuan Ye was delighted. He turned to Xuan Yuan and said, "Please wait here. I will be back soon. Vice Presiding Judge Ba Bylon, you must keep our people in check. Do not recklessly enter the territory of the Winged People. " Ba Bylon frowned and said, "Priest Xuan Ye, it is too dangerous for you to go alone. Let me go with you."
Xuan Ye shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. I trust my friends from the Winged Clan. I'll go by myself." He gestured to the red-feathered winged man and said, "Please lead the way."
The Red Feathered Winged Being spread her two-meter-wide wings and said, "Then please follow me." She flapped her wings lightly and floated up, flying towards the trees. Xuan Ye smiled. Wrapped in white light, he used the recoil of energy to fly up and chase after the person with red wings. He was not worried that the other party would do anything to him. Xuan Ye had absolute confidence in his own strength. Moreover, there were so many people from the Holy Hall outside the trees to support him. Xuan Yuan's lips curled into a gratified smile as he watched Xuan Ye disappear into the distance. In fact, he was very satisfied with this nephew of his. He had no children and had always treated Xuan Ye as his own son. However, because Xuan Ye carried the heavy burden of the Holy Hall, in order to suppress Xuan Ye's complacency, Xuan Yuan had always been very harsh to him. At this moment, when Xuan Ye displayed the level of Holy Light magic, even Xuan Yuan could not help but admire him.
Na Yen smiled and said, "Ye 'er's cultivation is becoming more and more refined. It seems that I am really getting old. When this is over, I will go back and ask Lord Pope to resign and retire. "It could be said that other than Pope, he was the person who understood Xuan Ye's strength the best. Naturally, he was not worried. Xuan Ye had the divine weapon God's Wrath. Even if the Winged People tried to stop him, he should be able to break through.
Xuan Yuan looked at Na Yen and said, "Can you really resign? I don't think Pope will allow it. Moreover, there is no White Priest in the Holy Hall who can take over your position. "
Na Yen shook his head and said, "No, Presiding Judge, you are wrong. There is a very suitable person in the Holy Hall who can take over my position. You can guess who it is. "
Xuan Yuan was stunned and said, "There is such a person? I know all the White Priests very well. It seems that there is no one who can reach the level of Magister! Old Na Yen, you are not deceiving me, are you? "
Na Yen smiled and said, "Speaking of this person, it is related to both of us. She's my granddaughter, your grandniece Yue Yue! "
Xuan Yuan did not know that Xuanyue's magic level had improved. He laughed and said, "You! Don't talk nonsense. I know that little girl. She only knows how to play all day long. She has no ambition at all. I heard that she has been training with Pope. But even if she really changed, it is impossible for her to reach the level of a Red Priest in just a few years! "
Na Yen smiled and said, "That is because you do not understand. Yue is no longer the naughty little girl she used to be. Although her magic level has not reached the level of Magister, it should not be far from it. Why do you think Pope let her go? That is because Yue has surpassed Nasha in magic cultivation. Before we left the Holy Hall, Pope looked for me. He told me that he had a premonition that when Yue returned to the Holy Hall, her strength would be greatly improved. Do you still not understand this? If Yue's strength improves again, she will reach the level of a Red Priest. She will be able to take over my position and I can enjoy a few years of peace. I am afraid that Yue will break Ye 'er's record. Hahahaha. "
Looking at the laughing Na Yen, Xuan Yuan still could not believe that Xuanyue had improved to the level that Pope approved of her in such a short period of time. It was completely out of his expectations.
As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may. Ba Bylon listened to Na Yen praise Xuanyue and could not help but worry for his son. If Xuanyue really became a Red Priest, then Ba Bui's status would be far inferior to hers. If a man was not as good as his wife, it would definitely be a painful thing! No, when I return, I must supervise Ba Bui's training. Ba Bylon secretly made up his mind. He must not let his son be inferior to Xuanyue.
At this time, a simple tent had been set up. More than a thousand Holy Knights and Inquisitors gathered together under Ba Bui's arrangement. A hundred of them were responsible for guarding, while the rest began to eat the dry rations they had brought with them. The Holy Knights of the Holy Hall had always been well-trained. Although there were many of them, they did not panic at all and did not make too much noise.
Xuan Ye followed the Red Winged Man into the forest and kept ten meters behind him. As soon as they entered the forest, the Red Winged Man stopped and turned to look at Xuan Ye. When he saw that Xuan Ye was covered in white light and floating in the air, he could not help but be shocked. He had never seen a human fly without wings, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. Only then did he suddenly speed up and head deeper into the forest.
Xuan Ye flew with the Red Winged Man for about the time it took to eat a meal. Suddenly, dozens of Winged Men appeared in front of them and blocked their way. Although Xuan Ye was very confident in himself, he would not be careless. He quietly cast an intermediate defensive spell on himself and landed next to the Red Winged Man. The Red Winged Man quickly explained something to the Winged Men who blocked their way in the Winged Men's language. Xuan Ye took this opportunity to carefully size up this strange race. The Winged Men in front of him were about 1.7 meters tall, and the wings on their backs almost covered their entire bodies. In terms of appearance, they were clearly not as handsome as the elves. However, they had their own unique flavor. According to the records of the Holy Hall, the Winged Men had a slightly longer lifespan than humans, about 200 years. They would come of age at 40 and only gradually enter old age after 140. The Winged Men were divided into different levels according to the color of their wings. Just like the social classes of humans, they were also divided into high and low. The highest level was King-level, and their wings were golden. Like the elven king, the king of the Winged Men had only one heir. Therefore, in the Winged Men race, there were at most two King-level Winged Men. Next were the elders. Elders' wings were silver, but this wasn't something they were born with. Instead, after a long period of cultivation, when ordinary Winged Ones' cultivation reached a certain level, their wings would automatically turn silver, and they would become elder-level Winged Ones. In the Winged Men race, the elders were second only to the king. However, because it was extremely difficult to turn silver, the Winged Men race did not have many elders compared to the elves. Below the elders were the Bluefeathers. There were very few Bluefeathers, and they were born with great strength. After cultivation, they were much stronger than ordinary Winged Men. Under normal circumstances, most Elder Winged People were transformed from Blue Winged People. Below the Bluefeathers were the Red Winged Men. Although they were innately inferior to the Bluefeathers, they were relatively more numerous and stronger than ordinary Winged Men. Therefore, most of them were small leaders in the race. The Winged Men with wings of other colors were ordinary Winged Men, which was equivalent to human civilians. The Winged Men race had a total of about 30,000 people. Although they were individually weaker than the elves, they were not weaker than the elves due to their advantage in numbers. Together with the dwarves, they were known as the three major races of Tian Yuan. The main advantage of the Winged Men was their ability to fly. Because of their wings, they were not unable to fly high like the elves. The Winged Men's flying speed was almost comparable to that of birds. Even the powerful Beastmen were not willing to offend them.
After the Red Winged Man informed his companions, he turned to Xuan Ye and said, "Lord Priest, please come with me." With that, he flew up again and brought Xuan Ye deeper into the woods. As they went deeper, Xuan Ye could often see the Winged Men in the woods. Those Winged Men also looked at him curiously. The Winged Men rarely left their territory, so they were naturally surprised to see Xuan Ye.
Night had come. Xuan Ye could only see about ten meters in front of him with the white light emitted from his body. He could not help but be cautious and close the distance between him and the Red Winged Man by a few meters. At that moment, the Red Winged Man suddenly stopped. Xuan Ye flew to his side and asked, "What's wrong? Have we arrived? "
The Red Winged Man pointed ahead and said, "This forest ahead is the true home of the Winged Men." Xuan Ye looked in the direction he was pointing. The forest ahead was indeed different. Compared to the periphery, the trees here were much taller. They were ancient trees that were at least a hundred years old. Every tree had a few tree sacs woven from branches. The Red Winged Man explained, "The Winged Men live in the tree sacs. Usually, there would be a few Winged Person families living in the same tree. When a Winged Person reached the age of 20, after his or her infancy, his or her parents would create a new tree trunk for him or her to live in. Before this, Little Winged Man follows his mother. When he reaches the age of forty and goes through the rite of passage, he can choose his spouse. Our king is at the very center of this forest. Come with me. "After saying that, he once again floated up and flew towards the giant forest.
Xuan Ye sighed in his heart. Although the Winged Men's forest was much worse than the Elven City, it had its own unique characteristics. He really did not know how these tree sacs hung on the trees. Every foreign race had their own customs. It was really strange. He sighed at the strange scenery of the Winged Men as he followed Red into the Winged Men's forest.
Large trees flashed past him one after another. After flying for a while, Xuan Ye suddenly saw a tall ancient tree in front of him. This ancient tree was not as thick as the Elven Ancient Tree, but it was much taller. It seemed to be almost a hundred meters tall, and there were a few large tree sacs hanging on the tree's trunk. The Red Winged Man stopped twenty meters in front of the tree and bowed piously to it. He said respectfully, "The captain of the seventh patrol team, Lasi, has something to report to the king."
Two black figures flew over from the ancient tree. To Xuan Ye's surprise, the wings on their backs were blue. Long blue feathers flickered with a crystalline light. Xuan Ye thought to himself, 'This must be the Winged Clan's Blue-feathered Winged Clan. From the looks of it, the energy contained in their bodies was indeed much stronger than that of the red-feathered person.
The two Blue Winged Men landed in front of Xuan Ye and Red Winged Man Lasi. They were expressionless and did not show any surprise at Xuan Ye's appearance. The Blue Winged Man on the left said, "Lasi, who is he? Who allowed you to bring him into the Winged Men's forest? Have you forgotten the rules of our race? " There was a hint of coldness in his voice. Lasi's body trembled slightly. He lowered his head and said, "Lord Blue Feather, please don't be angry. Please listen to my report. Today, when I was patrolling the outer forest with the seventh patrol team, we suddenly discovered many humans approaching our territory. To confirm their identities, we stopped them. This person is the leader of those humans. He claims to be the Red Priest of the Holy Hall and wants to borrow our race's path tomorrow. I can't make the decision, so I brought this person to see the king. Please make the decision, my king. "
The Blue Winged Man's expression softened a little. He sized up Xuan Ye and said coldly, "The Winged Men only believe in our own God of Wings. We have nothing to do with your Holy Hall. It's impossible for you to borrow our path. Lord Priest, please return. There are many paths in the Sky Yuan Race. You can take a detour. Please don't disturb the peace of the Winged Men. "
Naturally, Xuan Ye did not care about the two Blue Winged Men. However, he was in someone else's territory and had a request to make, so he could not lose his temper. He could only say, "The Holy Hall came to the Sky Yuan Race for something very important. Can you let me see the king of the Winged Men? If we can obtain their help, it will be very beneficial to our operation. Of course, the Holy Hall will definitely not mistreat the Winged Men. "
Blue Feather snorted coldly. "Mistreat? We don't care. Leave immediately. Otherwise, we will treat you as an enemy and drive you away by force."
Xuan Ye was furious. He did not expect the Winged Men, who had a good reputation, to be so rude and unreasonable. A cold light flickered in his eyes. "Then I'd like to see how you're going to drive me away. The dignity of the Holy Hall is not to be insulted by anyone. " White light suddenly flashed as a holy aura surged from Xuan Ye's body. Under his powerful aura, the two Blue Winged Men could not help but take a few steps back. They drew the swords on their backs at the same time and glared at Xuan Ye. It seemed like they were ready to attack at any time. La Xi was even worse off. Faced with such a powerful pressure, his body immediately went limp and he collapsed to the ground. Over a dozen Blue Winged Men flew over and surrounded Xuan Ye. Their bodies flickered with a faint blue light.
Just as the two sides were about to fight, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the giant tree. "Who dares to disturb my rest?" The voice was full of majesty. Even Xuan Ye could not help but be slightly stunned when he heard it. He thought to himself that the person who spoke must be the Winged King. Judging from the aura emanating from his voice, even if he was not as strong as Queen Of Elves, he was not far from it. Xuan Ye said loudly, "Greetings, Winged King. I'm the Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Xuan Ye. I'm here to discuss something with you. I wonder if we can meet?"
"Oh? So it's the Red Priest of the Holy Hall. I apologize for my lack of manners. " Suddenly, a golden light shone from a tree sac at the top of the tree. The light shone brightly, and a ball of golden light slowly floated down from the top of the tree. All the Blue Winged Men hurriedly put away their swords and stood aside respectfully. The golden figure slowly floated down in front of Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye's heart skipped a beat. Although it was also a golden light, he felt that the golden light in front of him was very different from his own Holy Light Magic. It seemed to be an unusually hollow energy. He could not feel how strong it was, but it gave people an invisible pressure and a sense of fear. The golden light gradually faded, and a middle-aged man with a pair of golden wings appeared in front of Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye fixed his eyes on the man and saw a faint layer of golden light flowing around the man's body. He did not know what the golden robe was made of. The golden wings on his back shone brightly and looked very powerful. Xuan Ye knew that this must be the king of the Winged Clan. The Winged King was about two meters tall. He had a dignified square face and a broad frame. His whole body was filled with the dignity of a king. Xuan Ye had a good impression of the Winged King. He nodded at the Winged King and said in a friendly voice, "You must be the Winged King. Hello, I am Xuan Ye of the Holy Hall. It is my honor to meet Your Majesty. "
The Winged King smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome. You must be the youngest Red Priest of the Holy Hall. It's an honor to meet you. Children, spread out and stand guard. Don't let anyone disturb me and Bishop Xuan Ye. "All the Blue Winged Men and Lasi spread out, and it became much quieter under the giant tree. The Winged King put his hands behind his back and looked at Xuan Ye. "I wonder what brings you to our small Winged Tribe this time, Bishop? We Winged Tribe have our own beliefs. We don't believe in gods. "
Xuan Ye smiled. "You've misunderstood. I'm not here to preach the teachings of Lord God. I have something more important to discuss. I believe Your Majesty must have heard of the Dark Demon Tribe a thousand years ago. "
The Winged King's dignified face showed a hint of surprise. "Dark Demon Tribe? You mean the Dark Demon Tribe that almost overturned the continent? Could it be that you're here … "
Xuan Ye nodded solemnly. "That's right. We're here for the Dark Demon Tribe. A thousand years ago, the first Pope of the Holy Hall, His Majesty Divine Feather, did not completely destroy the Dark Demon Tribe because he was merciful. The remnants of the Dark Demon Tribe lived in the territory of the Sky Yuan Tribe. After a thousand years of recuperation, the Dark Demon Tribe has regained its strength. Not long ago, they appeared in the Tenjin Empire. Hundreds of humans died in the hands of this cruel tribe. For the peace of the continent and the peace of all races, His Majesty Pope ordered us to exterminate the Dark Demon Tribe. I hope Your Majesty can make things convenient for us. The Winged Tribe has always lived in the territory of the Sky Yuan Tribe. Have you heard of the Dark Demon Tribe? "
The Winged King frowned. His deep eyes revealed a look of surprise and doubt. He murmured, "I didn't expect this. I really didn't expect this! The Dark Demon Tribe has actually reappeared. Haven't they learned their lesson from the past? Sigh … If they really make a comeback, I'm afraid we, who are close to them, will be the first to suffer. " He suddenly raised his head and said resolutely with a cold look in his eyes, "Lord Bishop, I know where the Dark Demon Tribe is. For the future of the Winged Tribe, I'm willing to help you eradicate this evil tribe. "
Xuan Ye was delighted. He didn't expect the Winged King to be so easy to talk to. "Then I thank you on behalf of all the peace-loving races on the continent. As long as the threat of the Dark Demon Tribe is not eliminated, the continent will never have peace. Where have you seen the Dark Demon Tribe before? How powerful are they? How many of them are there? "
The Winged King said seriously, "Lord Bishop, don't be anxious. Listen to me. The last time I saw the Dark Demon Tribe was a few decades ago. They live in the border between the Sky Yuan Race and the Death Mountain Range. There are few people there, and only half-beastmen can live there. If I'm not wrong, the Dark Demon Tribe should have allied with the half-beastmen. Under the cover of the half-beastmen, they rarely appear in front of other races. The three races of the Sky Yuan Race have never interacted with the half-beastmen, but we still have some understanding of them. The half-beastmen are a very powerful race. Their race is filled with the scene of the strong preying on the weak. The weaker half-beastmen will become the food of the stronger half-beastmen. Therefore, after many years of development, there are still not many half-beastmen. There are only about five thousand of them. However, because of the law of the jungle, the surviving half-beastmen are the strongest among the half-beastmen. If they have really allied with the Dark Demon Tribe, their strength cannot be underestimated. Even if the three races of the Sky Yuan Race go all out, we may not be able to fight against them. As for the number of people in the Dark Demon Tribe, I'm not too sure. There shouldn't be many of them. A thousand years ago, the joint purge of the various races dealt a great blow to them. I think there shouldn't be more than three thousand of them. I wonder how many people from the Holy Hall have come this time. Can they fight against so many powerful half-beastmen? "
Xuan Ye gasped. He did not expect the Dark Demon Tribe to ally with the half-beastmen. The combined strength of these two powerful races was definitely not to be underestimated! However, he soon felt relieved. This time, the people sent by the Holy Hall were all powerful experts. Even if the half-beastmen and the Dark Demon Tribe had strong bodies, as long as he and his father-in-law, Na Yen, used a few level-8 offensive spells, they might not be able to resist. Moreover, the thousand Holy Knights would not be any weaker than the average half-beastmen and Dark Demon Tribe. Thinking of this, Xuan Ye said cheerfully, "Lord Winged Ruler, you can rest assured. Although the half-beastmen and the Dark Demon Tribe are very powerful, the Holy Hall is confident that they can deal with them. I only hope that you can let us pass through the Winged Tribe's territory and guide us to the half-beastmen's nest."
