"Boom!" In his anger, Dumb smashed a table in the assassin's guild's base. "Those bastards! Did they become cowards? Why is there no one left? "
Phoenix Slayer looked coldly at Dumb's anger and said calmly, "Actually, this is very normal. I already thought of it when we left Tai Ang City, but I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me, so I didn't say it. "
Dumb was startled and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Phoenix Slayer said, "Those from the assassin's guild aren't fools. You killed so many experts, so why are they still staying in the base? Waiting for you to come and kill them one by one? "
Dumb said anxiously, "Where did they go? Did they disband? No, that can't be. How could those detestable fellows disband so easily? They must be hiding somewhere. Let's go to the next base and take a look. Perhaps we will find something there. "
Phoenix Slayer shook his head and said, "I don't think that's necessary. All the other bases of the assassin's guild are probably the same. The assassins have already left. Let's go to Setting Sun City. The headquarters of the assassin's guild is there. If my guess is correct, the leader of the assassin's guild must have transferred all the assassins back to the headquarters. There aren't many people in the assassin's guild, no more than 400. Most of their experts have already been killed by you. They must have gathered their strength and hidden in the headquarters, waiting for you to walk into their trap. That place will be another trap set for you. "
Dumb said hatefully, "I don't care. Even if it's a trap, I will go. I must take revenge for Uncle Owen. Take me to the headquarters of the assassin's guild. I want to kill all the remaining assassins. "
Phoenix Slayer nodded and said, "I can take you there, but you can't be impulsive when you get there. Don't forget that you were unconscious for three months. "
Dumb looked at Phoenix Slayer and saw a trace of concern in her eyes. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. It's good that they are hiding together. It saves me the trouble of looking for them everywhere. When the time comes, I will clean up the ordinary assassins in the periphery. Finally, I will take the master's life. I want them to know what it feels like to be visited by the god of death. "
Dumb and Phoenix Slayer headed toward the Setting Sun Empire's capital, Fallen City. Along the way, they could see notices from the Holy Hall asking for dark races in almost every city. The commoners of the Sunset Empire were attracted by the high rewards, and they were in an uproar. There were people searching for the whereabouts of the underground forces everywhere. Due to this, even the Sunset Empire's most prosperous gambling industry had become much dimmer than before.
Ten or so days later, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer entered the central region of the Setting Sun Empire's Cold Stream Province. Frosty Sun Province was bordered by Luzi Province to the south and Sunset City to the west. As long as they passed through here, they would be able to reach their destination. While walking on the main road, Dumb suddenly felt a familiar aura in front of him and was startled. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks and look at the forked road where the aura was coming from.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop? "Phoenix Slayer asked, puzzled. Dumb narrowed his eyes and pointed at the forked road, saying, "There seems to be a familiar aura over there. It seems to be a holy aura." As soon as he thought of the holy aura, Dumb's heart started pounding. He could clearly feel how powerful this holy aura was. He thought to himself, if this aura is emitted by Yue Yue … What should I do? Should I leave immediately? Or should I meet her secretly?
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, the aura gradually approached them. Dumb's current mood was extremely complicated. He clenched his fists tightly. His body trembled slightly, and his face alternated between red and white. Reason told him that he should leave immediately. However, his feelings, which were buried deep in his heart, told him not to leave. He had to meet the person who came.
Phoenix Slayer looked at Dumb in astonishment. Ever since the two of them reached an agreement to set out together, she had never seen Dumb with such an expression. She couldn't help but feel puzzled. The familiar aura he mentioned seemed to have a close relationship with him! What kind of person could make him react so strongly? At this moment, his Thief's keen hearing picked up a dense group of footsteps approaching from the fork in the road. Those people should be the ones that Dumb was interested in. She couldn't help but look at the end of the forked road, waiting to see who could attract Dumb's attention.
Dumb's sense of hearing wasn't inferior to Phoenix Slayer's. If Phoenix Slayer could hear it, he could hear it as well. His eyesight wasn't inferior to that of the elves. After eating the Giant Spirit Snake's Eye, his eyesight had greatly improved. He could see much further than Phoenix Slayer. He saw several tens of figures approaching him. The one at the front seemed to be a red figure, and the holy aura was coming from this red figure. As the group of people drew closer, Dumb finally saw them. Even though he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression. His close friend wasn't among these people. The person at the front was an old man he had never seen before. The red clothes he wore were the red priest robes of the Holy Hall. Behind him were several tens of people. Ten of them were dressed in advanced priest robes, while the rest were dressed in judge robes. These people were clearly from the Holy Hall, and the one at the front was one of the four red priests.
The people from the Holy Hall drew closer and closer, and this time, even Phoenix Slayer saw them. He said in a low voice, "They're from the Holy Hall. Do you want to interact with them? I don't want to. I'm afraid they'll sense the dark aura on my body. The Holy Hall has always hated us. " Her battle qi was of the dark attribute. Just like how Dumb's battle qi emitted a holy aura, her dark battle qi also emitted a dark aura. As a member of the dark forces, she naturally didn't want to interact with the people from the Holy Hall. She could only hope that Dumb would leave as soon as possible. However, Dumb didn't move. He didn't look like he was going to leave. He stood in his original spot and watched as the people drew closer. Phoenix Slayer became anxious and said, "Did you hear me? If you don't leave, I'm leaving! "
Dumb glanced at her and said, "Don't be anxious. I have something to ask them. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can harm you. Not even the Pope will be able to. "
Phoenix Slayer was stunned. She sensed Dumb's strong confidence, and a strong sense of security welled up in the depths of her heart. The warmth in her heart made her eyes blur. She gently nodded and stayed by Dumb's side, not saying another word. She could feel it. As long as Dumb was by her side, she would always be safe.
The people from the Holy Hall drew closer and closer to the intersection. They naturally saw Dumb and Phoenix Slayer.
As the people from the Holy Hall got closer and closer to the intersection, they naturally saw Dumb and Phoenix Slayer. The person at the front of the group was the Red Priest in charge of patrolling the Sunset Empire, Mang Xiu. When he saw Dumby, his whole body couldn't help but tremble. Dumby's appearance wasn't outstanding, and he was only wearing the most ordinary commoner's clothing. However, his inner, mountain-like aura was so powerful. Just by standing there, Mang Xiu was suppressed to the point where he felt like he couldn't breathe. He felt a chill in his heart. He raised his hand and ordered the people from the Holy Hall to stop. The judges following him immediately sensed danger and quickly surrounded Mang Xiu. They gripped their weapons and looked at Dumb cautiously to prevent him from doing anything improper.
Dumb lowered his head and said to Phoenix Slayer, "Wait for me here. Don't move. I'll ask a few questions, and then we'll leave." After he finished speaking, he floated up and rushed toward Mang Xiu, who was wrapped in soul energy.
The judges immediately became serious. They were all experts of the Holy Hall, and they could naturally see that Dumb was very powerful. Four of the Light Judges instantly formed four rows and swung their swords. Four golden rays of light slashed toward Dumb's head. Because of the dark forces, the subordinates of the Holy Hall were on high alert. Their task was to protect Mang Xiu, so they naturally couldn't let Dumb rush over.
Dumb didn't want to go against the Holy Hall, but when he rushed over, he realized that he had been too reckless. However, he had already rushed over, and it couldn't be changed. Helplessly, he spread his hands outwards, each of them transforming into a purple energy shield that welcomed the four Light Judges. The power of the Light Judges was similar to that of the assassin guild's Prime Killer. However, because their attacks were scattered, they were much weaker than the attack of Annihilation and the other six. Dumb gently waved his hands, and with a few muffled bangs, he easily blocked the attacks of the four Light Judges. After the light purple energy shield blocked the attack, it instantly turned into two shining bands of light, entangling two swords. Dumb shook his arms and brought the four Light Judges to the side, but he didn't hurt them. The changes happened in the blink of an eye. In an extremely short period of time, Dumby's control of the changes was impeccable. Without the slightest pause, he resolved the attacks of the four Light Inquisitors and even countered them. Dumb didn't rush forward. He used the impact of the four Light Judges' attacks to land on the ground and shouted in a deep voice, "Don't attack. I mean no harm. "
Manxiu was a priest of the Holy Hall, after all. Although he was surprised by Dumb's strength, he didn't show it on his face. He asked indifferently, "Who are you?" It was only five words, but they emitted a sacred majesty. The sound wave had a strong impact on Dumb's hearing. However, Dumby was no longer the Dumby that had been subdued by the four elders in the Semigold Tribe. Ever since his Golden Body had fused with his Sea of Consciousness and separated from it, his mental strength had increased tremendously. Although Mang Xiu's shout still affected him, it wasn't enough to affect his willpower. White fighting energy seeped out of his body. Dumb bowed to Manxiu and said, "I'm a third-generation disciple of the Tiangang School. I mean no harm in stopping you. I was reckless just now. Please forgive me."
Manxiu was even more surprised. It wasn't only because his spiritual attack didn't affect Dumb, but also because Dumb was only a third-generation disciple of the Tiangang School. However, it seemed that Dumb's power had far surpassed that of the Holy Judges. It was impossible for the Holy Judges to defeat four Light Judges with one move! Based on this, the strength of the Sword School could only be described as terrifying. Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he said, "You're from the Tiangang School? Then you're not an outsider. Now your school has joined forces with the Holy Hall to fight against foreign enemies. What can I do for you? I'm the Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Manxiu. " Manxiu didn't doubt Dumb's identity as a graduate of the Tiangang School. The vital energy he emitted was the best proof. He couldn't help but have a good impression of this simple and tall young man in front of him.
Hearing that the Holy Hall had joined forces with the Tiangang School, Dumb couldn't help but feel happy. He smiled and said, "It's nothing important. It's just that I've been away from the Tiangang Mountain for quite some time. I wanted to ask you about the situation of the underground forces. Have you found their lair? Also, how's the situation on the continent? "
Manxiu's expression changed slightly. He sighed and said, "The situation is not good! It's been so long, but there's no news at all. The underground forces are really good at holding back. They didn't even leave us a single clue. We're in a passive position now. Actually, although the underground forces are powerful, according to the information we received, they only have a few hundred thousand people. There are tens of millions of humans on the continent, so the foreign races alone are nothing to be afraid of. However, their hiding has made us lose our target. Although the underground forces are nothing compared to the entire continent in terms of numbers. If they were to scatter to every corner of the continent to wreak havoc, I'm afraid we'll suffer great losses. Damn it, where are you going? Can you tell me your name? "
After hearing Manxiu's words, Dumb's mind spun rapidly. It seems like Phoenix Slayer was right. It's been so long, but the Holy Hall hasn't even found the shadow of the underground forces. This is too unbelievable. Is a calamity really going to befall the human world? When he thought of this, he frowned and said, "Don't be so polite. I'm Dumb. What should we do now? Are we going to keep waiting? "
"Sigh, what can we do even if we don't wait? Ah, what did you just say? "" I'm Dumb. "
Manxiu's body shook, and his eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise. "Dumb, are you the Dumb who was with Yue? I didn't expect to run into you. This is great. " He looked at the young man in front of him excitedly. So he's the savior that Pope was talking about! It's no wonder he's so strong.
Under Manxiu's burning gaze, Dumb felt a bit unnatural. When he heard Manxiu mention Xuanyue, his heart trembled and he asked, "Do you know me?"
Manxiu smiled and said, "Of course I do. You're the savior of the continent!" I really didn't expect to see you here. Come back to the Holy Hall with me. You don't know how important you are to Lord Pope. If you join us, we'll be able to get rid of the underground forces very quickly. "
Dumb shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't go back to the Holy Hall with you. I have other things to do." Regardless of the reason, he couldn't go to the Holy Hall with Manxiu.
Manxiu asked doubtfully, "Don't you want to see Yue? Actually, it's just a misunderstanding between the two of you. Come back with me. "
Dumb smiled and said, "Misunderstanding? Hmph, I heard it with my own ears. What misunderstanding can there be? Priest Manxiu, thank you for your kind intentions. I still have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first. " After saying that, he didn't wait for Manxiu to explain and floated up, returning to Phoenix Slayer's side. He grabbed Phoenix Slayer's arm and raised his battle qi to the limit. They ran in the direction of Sunset City as if they were escaping. He didn't want to hear the words' Yue 'again. Every time he thought of Xuanyue's beautiful face, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"Dumb, you …" Manxiu only managed to say those three words before Dumb and Phoenix Slayer were already far away. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that it wouldn't be easy to explain this misunderstanding! The youth that Lord Pope referred to as the savior was very stubborn. Could it be that he had already fallen in love with that girl who had a faint aura of darkness on her body? It was useless to say anything now. Dumb's skills were unexpectedly profound. It was impossible for him and his subordinates to catch up to him. However, he had to send news of him meeting back to the Holy Hall as soon as possible. The savior mustn't be corrupted by the forces of darkness! He had to wait for Lord Pope to make the final decision.
Dumb quickly advanced with Phoenix Slayer in tow. He felt waves of stabbing pain in his heart. Of course, the words Ba Bui had said to him in the Elf Forest reverberated in his heart like a venomous snake. Dumb was no longer able to suppress the grief in his heart. He let go of Phoenix Slayer's hand and let out a loud roar. He suddenly punched forward. A ball of faint purple radiance shot out from his fist. With a loud rumble, it blasted open a deep crater in the ground nearby. Dumb landed at the edge of the crater and gasped for breath. His body trembled unceasingly because of the pain in his heart.
Phoenix Slayer landed not far behind him. She felt as if she was flying from that lightning-fast speed. She had heard Dumb and Mang Xiu's conversation. She was even more certain of her previous thoughts. Dumb had become like this because of that woman called Yue. It seemed that he loved her very deeply. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in so much pain.
Phoenix Slayer walked to Dumb's back and softly said, "Why didn't you listen to the red-robed priest's explanation? Perhaps there really was a misunderstanding between you and her. "
Dumb raised his head and glanced at Phoenix Slayer. He mournfully roared, "Misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding? I heard what she said with my own ears. How could it be a misunderstanding? Don't mention her in front of me. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear anything. " He forcefully grabbed the ring above his head. His body trembled, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.
Phoenix Slayer felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw Dumb in pain. He calmly said, "Since you are in so much pain because of her, it proves that you still love her. Why don't you give her and yourself a chance? I've seen her, and she is indeed very beautiful. It's no wonder that you are so infatuated with her. "
Dumb weakly sat on the ground and muttered, "Yes! She is very beautiful. She is breathtakingly beautiful. Moreover, she has a noble status. She is the daughter of the red-robed priest of the Holy Hall and the granddaughter of Pope. With her noble status, how could she like me? What am I? I'm just a lowly commoner. She has a kind heart and is a good person. However, we are not suitable for each other. I don't want her to suffer because of me. "
Phoenix Slayer sat down beside Dumby and looked at his pained expression. He said in a gentle voice, "Can you tell me about what happened between you and her? Once you tell me, you'll feel better."
Dumb looked at Phoenix Slayer blankly and softly sighed. "Do you really want to hear it?" Phoenix Slayer nodded and said, "Tell me, I really want to hear it."
Dumb gazed into the distance and indifferently said, "About five years ago, after my uncle was killed by the Assassin Guild, I left the small town of the Xibo Tribe and entered the continent. Before my uncle died, he told me to find the Sorcerers Guild in the city and take the test to become a magician. That way, I would be able to get a magician's salary and have a source of income. It was during the magic test that I met her. She was a beautiful little girl, Xuanyue. At that time, she wasn't even 16 years old. However, she was already very beautiful. She was so beautiful that I had never seen her before … "Dumb sped up his memories with Xuanyue and narrated his past in a dreamy voice. The stories between him and Xuanyue entered his ears one after another, and he continued until Ba Bui told him the truth in the Elf Forest. "She … She was only with me because she wanted to repay a favor. I don't want … I don't want her to repay a favor. I was too foolish in the past. She had such a noble status, so how could she have liked me? Moreover, I was so infatuated with her. I was really too foolish. I … "Dumb couldn't help but cry bitterly. The sorrow in his heart surged out and continuously corroded his heart.
After listening to Dumb's story, Phoenix Slayer's eyes became moist. She didn't expect that Dumb had experienced so much pain. He and Xuanyue actually had so many twists and turns. Phoenix Slayer softly sighed and patted Dumb's back, saying, "In that case, she was the reason why you made the agreement to die with me. Is it because of her that you don't want to live anymore? "
Dumby's crying gradually subsided. He sighed and said, "You can say that. I didn't know who my parents were since I was young, and I didn't have any relatives. My best teacher, Uncle Owen, and … they're all gone. Now, I'm the only one left. The woman I loved was only with me because she wanted to repay a favor. You won't be able to understand my pain. What's the point of living now? "
Phoenix Slayer looked at Dumb's dejected appearance and coldly snorted. "You're really the number one fool in the world. You don't understand a woman's thoughts. You deserve your pain. "
Dumb was startled and looked at Phoenix Slayer blankly. "What … What did you say?"
Phoenix Slayer gazed into the distance and said, "Actually, Xuanyue didn't get together with you just to repay a favor. Could it be that you can't tell whether she's sincere toward you or just repaying a favor? From the way she treated you, I can tell that she truly likes you. I've never seen someone as foolish as you. "
Dumb's whole body shook and he stood up from the ground. He angrily said, "No, you're lying! I don't believe you! I don't believe you!"
Phoenix Slayer coldly said, "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. In any case, this is your own matter. If you want to continue suffering, no one will stop you."
The corners of Dumb's mouth slightly trembled. He shook his head and said, "No, it can't be. She's so noble, so how could she like me? Even if it's true, I won't see her again. My life is no longer my own. Since I promised you that I'd let you do whatever you want after I take revenge, I won't go back on my word. Ba Bui is more suitable for her than I am. They'll be happy together. "Although he said this, Dumb felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife. Even though he didn't completely believe Phoenix Slayer's words, he realized that there was a possibility that what she said was true. If everything was really as she said, and the matter between him and Xuanyue was just a misunderstanding, how should he face it? At this time, Dumb subconsciously chose to escape. His heart was in chaos and he didn't know what to do.
Phoenix Slayer stood up and glanced at Dumb. Then, he said, "Let's go to Sunset City. Continue with your plan for revenge. " After listening to the story between Dumb and Xuanyue, Phoenix Slayer's heart was filled with pain. She didn't know why, but whenever she thought about how Dumb was deeply in love with another woman, she would feel so stifled that she couldn't breathe.
Dumb took a deep breath and did his best to dispel the complicated feelings in his heart. He floated up and quickly flew toward Sunset City. Phoenix Slayer circulated his dark battle qi and followed after him. The two of them had the same idea, and that was to use their strength to counteract the feelings in their hearts. In order to allow Phoenix Slayer to keep up with him, Dumb took out a faint purple belt of life and change energy from his body and wrapped it around Phoenix Slayer's waist. After a short while, they were able to raise their speed to the limit.
Saint Calendar Year 999, early July. Dumb and Phoenix Slayer traveled at lightning speed and arrived at Sunset City, the capital of the Sunset Empire. Ever since they'd met the Light Priestess, the two of them hadn't spoken much. Dumb had to make an unremitting effort to suppress the complicated feelings in his heart and focus all of his attention on seeking revenge from the Assassin's Association.
Sunset City, the capital of the Sunset Empire. It got its name because it was closest to the location where the sun set. It was located in the westernmost part of the Tian Yuan Continent and was the largest city in the Sunset Empire. High spirited soldiers continuously patrolled the top of the fifty-meter-tall city walls. The wide city gates could allow twenty people to pass through side by side. Sunset City, which had its back to the sea, occupied an area of over thirty thousand square kilometers. It was the size of two Dark Cities. There was an endless stream of people and carriages coming and going under the drawbridge. It was a flourishing and lively scene. Nothing had changed since the last time Dumb had been here. After arriving here, Dumb couldn't help but think about how he'd rescued Elf Princess Xing 'er. He also remembered the old magician who'd helped him escape at the last moment. His magic wasn't any weaker than Lardas's.
Phoenix Slayer was very familiar with Sunset City. Even though the Thief Association's headquarters weren't here, it was a popular place for Thieves because it was home to a large number of influential people. "Let's enter the city. We'll find a place to stay first. I'll take you to find out the situation around the Assassin's Headquarters before we make our move."
Dumb nodded and thought hatefully, 'Assassin's Headquarters, I'm coming. My Lord, I'm coming. I've come with boundless hatred. Back then, you guys killed Uncle Owen. I'll definitely kill you guys to avenge him.' When he thought about how he was about to face Owen's true enemy, his blood couldn't help but boil. He clenched his fists tightly and strode towards Sunset City with determined steps.
When the two arrived at the city gates, they were stopped by the city guards. The leader of the guards said, "Who are you? What are you doing in the capital? "
Dumb frowned and looked at the people passing by without any obstruction. He couldn't help but say, "Why are you only interrogating us? Why don't you check the others?"
The leader raised his eyebrows and said, "Cut the crap. I think you two are suspicious. Hurry up and answer my questions. Otherwise, I'll arrest you. " In reality, he didn't see anything suspicious from Dumb and Phoenix Slayer. He was just attracted by Phoenix Slayer's beauty and deliberately stopped them. Dumb didn't understand the situation, but how could Phoenix Slayer not understand? A faint smile appeared on her ice-cold face. She stood in front of Dumb and said, "Big Brother Soldier, we're just country bumpkins. Why are you making things difficult for us? If you let us pass, we won't forget what you've done for us. "
When the leader saw Phoenix Slayer's flirtatious smile, he felt as if his soul had flown away. He laughed lewdly and said, "Little girl, why won't you forget what I've done for you?" He extended his hand toward Phoenix Slayer's face.
Dumb was filled with killing intent when he arrived at Sunset City. When he saw that the leader of the soldiers wanted to humiliate Phoenix Slayer, he couldn't endure it anymore. He flashed past Phoenix Slayer at lightning speed and sent a palm strike toward the soldier. With Dumb's speed, even if Phoenix Slayer wanted to stop him, she wouldn't be able to. Puchi. Under the effect of powerful true qi, the leader of the soldiers was instantly turned into meat paste. Dumb's eyes shone with a cold glint, and he said to the soldiers, "If anyone dares to provoke us again, he'll be their example."
Phoenix Slayer shook his head helplessly and took out a silver badge from his bosom. He waved it in front of the soldiers and said, "We're from the imperial capital's plainclothes patrol team. People like him aren't fit to be guards of the imperial capital. Execute him on the spot. Collect his corpse. If we find out that you bully the commoners again, you'll be punished severely. "As a high-level thief, it was very important to deal with any unexpected situations.
The soldiers didn't expect that someone would dare to impersonate an official at the gate of the Sunset Empire's capital. When they saw the imposing aura coming from Phoenix Slayer's body and the domineering aura coming from Dumb's body, they completely agreed with Phoenix Slayer's words and immediately knelt on the ground. When the commoners in the surroundings saw that someone had died, and that it was a soldier, they were frightened and quickly moved away. No one wanted to invite trouble. Some commoners who hadn't seen the world vomited when they saw the minced flesh on the ground.
