The next morning, everyone reluctantly said their goodbyes and left the Elf Forest in different directions. The Yanshi Brothers, Zhuo Yun, Kino, and Yue Ji went together. As Yue Ji had already left the Moon Scar Mercenary Team for a while, she decided to make a trip to the Red Mongol before accompanying Kino back to the Sky Gold Magicians Union. First, she wanted to go back to the mercenary team to take a look. Second, she wanted to pass on the news of the Dark Saint Religion back to the mercenary team. And Oliveira, Dumb, and the others went back the way they came, and separated when they reached the Holy Hall.
In order to shorten the time they had to travel, Dumby summoned Little Bone, which had an extremely strong flying ability. It carried Xuan Yue, Oliveira, and himself, and they quickly headed in the direction of the Church. Little Bones was very excited to leave the Death Mountain Range for the first time. He flew while admiring the scenery around him. With his flying ability, it only took him three days to pass through the vast grasslands of the Yalian people, and arrived near the Holy Hall. After three days of flying, the vengeful spirits had completely merged with their current bodies, and gradually grasped the abilities of a Black Dragon. Originally, Dumby had wanted to summon the Holy Evil and let it take a breather outside. However, the Holy Evil had sensed the power of Little Bone, and this time, it took the initiative to stay in the Blood of the Dragon God to cultivate. As a descendant of the Dragon King, it would be hard for him to accept that he couldn't even compare to his own little brother. At this moment, he had completely immersed himself in cultivation.
"Little Bones, land. We are about to reach the territory of the Holy Hall. After all, you have the evil attribute. It will not be good if the priests and holy knights of the Holy Hall discover you."
"Yes, Master." Ever since Dumb had successfully subdued the undead demon Xian Xian that day, Little Bones admired him from the bottom of his heart. He had completely put himself in the position of a servant.
Little Bones found a place where there was no one around, and landed steadily on the ground. His four massive dragon claws gripped the ground, and the black scales on his body looked exceptionally majestic under the sunlight. Dumb dragged Xuanyue and Oliveira to the ground. Oliveira said, "Boss Dumb, Boss Xuanyue, I won't be going to the Holy Hall with you. I have to report what happened in the Death Mountain Range to the Union as soon as possible, and also to the entire Hwasin Empire, so that everyone can be prepared. In this operation to eradicate the Dark Saint Religion, no matter what, we are stronger than those bastards from the Sunset Empire. Let them see what true strength is. " Dumb smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid that other than wind archmage Biinluge, there aren't many elites in the Sunset Empire who can participate in this mission."
Xuanyue: "It doesn't matter if there's no one! The scale of our operation this time is unprecedented, and we will need a lot of financial support. The Sunset Empire has earned so much dirty money, they will have to cough up some of it this time. This is enough to hurt Quan Yi's heart. I believe that he won't dare to not come out. I really want to see what kind of expression he will have when he receives grandpa's compilation. "The three of them thought of Quan Yi's pale face at the same time, and laughed heartily. None of them had a shred of goodwill towards the Sunset Empire.
They stopped laughing. Oliveira bowed slightly to Xuanyue and Dumb, and said, "My two bosses, let's part ways here. Be careful on your journey. See you in the Holy Hall soon. " With that, he cast a speed spell on himself, and quickly left in the direction of the Radiance Province. Seeing Oliveira's green figure gradually disappear, Xuanyue sighed slightly and said, "A few days ago, everyone was still very lively together, but now it's just the two of us."
After Dumb recalled Little Bone back into the Dragon God's Blood, he hugged Xuanyue's fragrant shoulder and said with a smile, "You still like to be lively. After everything is over, we will still be together! At that time, we can find a beautiful place to settle down with our friends, and no longer have to run around. We can live a peaceful and comfortable life. Teacher Gorian's Forest of Illusions, the Elven Forest are all good places, or the little village that Uncle Harry is in. They are all choices. "
Xuanyue gently leaned on Dumb's shoulder and softly said, "I do like to be in a crowd, but I also need you by my side. As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to live anywhere."
Dumby gently blew on Xuan Yue's fragrant lips and hugged her body tightly. They could feel each other's deep feelings for each other. They were completely intoxicated by the prospect of their future together. A cotton-like cloud floated across the sky, blocking the glaring sunlight. It was as if the sun was also embarrassed by their love for each other. Without the illumination of the sun, the air suddenly became a little colder. Under the gentle breeze, they gradually woke up from their entanglement. Xuanyue shyly buried her pretty face in Dumb's arms and shyly did not dare to look at him. Dumb's heart was filled with tenderness. He said softly, "Let's go." After saying that, he held Xuanyue's delicate body and flew up in the direction of the Holy Mountain of the Holy Hall.
As soon as they entered the territory of the Holy Mountain, Dumb found a large group of Holy Knights patrolling back and forth not far away. Each Holy Knight was nervously watching the surroundings, tightly gripping their knight's sword, lest they miss the slightest suspicious spot. The security was so tight that it seemed to have reached the point of panic. Dumb smiled at Xuanyue and said, "Look, the security of the Holy Hall is so tight. It seems that Grandpa Pope is also very nervous now!" Xuanyue frowned and said, "No, there shouldn't be such a tight security. After all, this is the core of our Holy Hall!"
Dumb was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's go and have a look. We'll know after asking." After saying that, he took Xuanyue's little hand and floated up towards the defensive circle of the Holy Knights at the foot of the Holy Mountain. As soon as they got close to the periphery of the defense, a loud shout came. "Stop! Who dares to trespass the Holy Mountain of the Holy Hall!" Hundreds of Holy Knights quickly surrounded Dumb and Xuanyue after discovering them. The swords in their hands were all pointed at the two's vital points. It seemed that if anything went wrong, they would immediately change their attack.
These Holy Knights were the lowest level of clergy in the Holy Hall. They had never seen Xuanyue before, not to mention that Xuanyue was only wearing an ordinary light blue dress.
Xuanyue's face no longer had the tenderness she had when she was with Dumb. Her pretty face became very serious. She said in a deep voice, "What happened in the Holy Hall? I'm Xuanyue, the Red Priest. "
The surrounding Holy Knights all showed a puzzled expression. Although they had heard that the new Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Xuanyue, was a very young girl and the daughter of Priest Xuan Ye, they did not dare to believe it so easily. However, at this moment, they did not dare to believe it so easily. The leader of the Holy Paladins probed, "Since you are the Scarlet Priest of the Mystic Moon, can you show us your identification?"
Xuanyue's heart tightened. She knew that something must have happened in the Holy Hall. Otherwise, the Holy Knights would not be so nervous. She nodded and said, "Sure." With a wave of her hand, she opened up her own spatial enchantment and took out the red priest's robe. She gently put it on. Under her deliberate activation, a circle of golden divine light radiated from her body. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a thick barrier around her.
Feeling the powerful holy energy, the leader immediately believed in Xuanyue's identity. He quickly put away the sword in his hand and knelt on one knee. He said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Xuanyue nodded and said, "Get out of the way. We have to return to the Holy Mountain to see His Excellency Pope immediately."
The leader stood up and looked at Dumb with a puzzled look. He said, "Can this Excellency also show us his identity?"
Xuanyue frowned and said, "He is the most distinguished guest of the Holy Hall. What identity does he need? Can't I be here?"
The leader said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. This is an order issued by His Excellency Pope. No one can enter or leave the Holy Mountain at will. Those who leave must have His Excellency Pope's handwritten order, and those who enter must have a certificate from the clergy of the Holy Hall. This is a new rule. Maybe you don't know about it yet. "
Xuanyue asked doubtfully, "Did something happen to the Holy Hall? Why is the security so tight? "
The leader said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I'm only responsible for patrolling and don't know anything else. Please forgive me. Please show us your identity. Otherwise, we can't let you pass. "
Dumb didn't have any identity! He couldn't help feeling awkward and asked Xuan Yue, "What should we do? I don't have any identity. "
Xuanyue said to the leader in a deep voice, "Which commander is on duty today? Tell him to come and see me. I'm His Excellency Pope's granddaughter. Don't you trust me?"
The leader said indifferently, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Pope has said that even clergy with holy energy cannot disobey this order. Our commander is now patrolling on the other side of the Holy Mountain. I'm afraid he won't be able to come in a short time. Why don't you wait for a while? "
Xuanyue's patience finally ran out. She shouted angrily, "We're going back to the Holy Hall to report something important to His Excellency Pope. You're blocking us. If we're delayed, who's going to take responsibility?"
The leader of the Holy Knights was impenetrable. He said calmly, "But if I let you in, I'll be punished immediately. It's my duty to guard this place. Please forgive me. I don't think His Excellency Pope will punish someone who's devoted to his duty. "
"You …" Xuan Yue's heart was filled with anger. A surge of Holy Aura seeped out of her body, causing the hundred Holy Knights to involuntarily retreat a few steps. However, even in the face of Xuan Yue's powerful aura, they didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. They looked at Xuan Yue and Dumby with determined expressions.
Dumb pulled Xuanyue's arm and said, "Forget it. Don't make things difficult for them. They're doing the right thing. The Holy Hall is really proud to have such a clergy!"
Under Dumby's consolation, the anger in Xuan Yue's heart gradually dissipated. She glanced at the surrounding Holy Knights and nodded, "Fine, if you don't want us to enter, then I have a way. Great God of the Heavenly Realm! Please allow me to borrow your power to sprinkle holy light on the world. " She raised her angelic staff high, and a golden beam of light fell from the sky. In an instant, Dumb and Xuanyue were wrapped in it. Being bathed in the holy light, Dumb felt his mind calm down. He smiled and said, "Yue, your holy energy is even purer now."
Xuanyue said, "This should be the result of this experience. In such a dangerous place like the Death Mountains, it's inevitable that my spiritual power would increase." The angelic staff in her hand made a circle, and the golden beam of light in the sky completely fell. Xuanyue chanted, "With holy light as the foundation, the gate of time and space! Open up, please send us to where we want to go. " The golden light suddenly disappeared. Under the surprised gaze of the Holy Knights, Dumb and Xuanyue's figures completely disappeared. The captain said, "Not good. They must have entered the Holy Mountain. Quick, call the police. " One of his Holy Knights immediately took out a golden trumpet from his bosom and blew into it. The sharp whistling sound soared into the sky and instantly spread across the entire Divine Mountain.
Under the effect of Xuanyue's spatial magic, Dumb felt his vision blurred. When the scenery became clear again, he found that he and Xuanyue had already arrived in front of the Light Shrine.
Xuanyue smiled and said, "Dumb, what do you think of this magic of mine? I came up with this on my own. It's a combination of Holy Light and Spatial magic. "
Dumby praised, "Not bad at all! Under the effect of the condensed energy of Holy Light magic, the time you can use spatial magic is greatly reduced. Yue, you're really getting more and more powerful. "
The sharp whistle reached their ears. Xuanyue frowned and said, "This captain is really serious and responsible. He actually blew the whistle to signal the enemy's invasion. Come, let's go into the Shrine and see what's going on."
Before the two of them reached the entrance of the temple, three people walked out of the temple. It was Xuan Ye, Mang Xiu, and Yu Jian, the three Red Priests. As soon as she saw her father, Xuanyue was overjoyed. She let go of Dumb's hand and rushed forward, shouting excitedly, "Daddy!" Xuan Ye and the other two came out when they heard the siren. When he saw his daughter, he was also overjoyed. He opened his arms and hugged his daughter. He smiled and said, "My precious daughter is back. Daddy was worried to death. Hey, daddy should have sensed your return. Why didn't I feel anything? " "…"
Xuanyue smiled and said, "Is it because your daughter is too powerful? That's why you couldn't feel it! Daddy, my magic cultivation has improved again. "
Mang Xiu and Yu Jian came over. Yu Jian smiled and said, "You two can catch up. Mang Xiu and I will go out and have a look. Recently, the Holy Hall is in a state of panic. I don't know where this siren came from."
Mang Xiu said, "Yue, when you came back, was there an enemy outside? Otherwise, why would there be this siren sound?"
Dumb walked forward with a bitter smile and said, "I think the two priests don't need to go. The siren was sounded because of us."
"Huh? What did you say? Why did the siren sound for you? " Xuan Ye asked doubtfully.
Xuanyue pouted and said, "Daddy, what's wrong with our Holy Hall? Why is the security so tight? Even I am not allowed to enter. I used teleportation magic to bring Dumb in. That's why they sounded the siren. "
Xuan Ye shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Recently, the situation in the Holy Hall is very tense. We have no choice but to strengthen the security. Let's go in and talk. Hurry up and report the results of your trip to your grandfather. The old man has been waiting impatiently for a long time. "
Mang Xiu said, "All of you go in first. I will go and settle the matters outside so that the people don't panic." After saying that, he floated up and landed outside the Holy Mountain of the Church.
Xuan Ye seemed to be very anxious. He quickly pulled his daughter inside. Dumb followed behind. Seeing Xuan Ye's anxious expression, he asked, "Father-in-law, what's going on?"
After all, he was engaged to his daughter. Although Xuan Ye didn't have a good impression of Dumb, his tone was not as cold as before. "You've been away for some time. You probably don't know many things have happened on the continent. Almost all the important figures of various forces have been attacked by assassins. Now the continent is in a state of panic. Even our Holy Hall is in a bit of a mess. "
Xuan Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she cried out involuntarily, "Father, could it be that Grandfather also …"
Xuan Ye nodded his head heavily and said, "Your grandpa has been assassinated twice. The first time, it was three Light Judges. The ones who attacked the second time were actually two magic experts who had just been promoted to the rank of White Priest. If it wasn't for your grandfather's profound cultivation base, even if he reacted and caught the traitors, in that kind of sudden situation, I'm afraid … "
Xuan Yue could feel a layer of cold sweat on her back. She murmured, "Even the White Priest betrayed the Heavenly God and did such a blasphemous thing. This is unbelievable. What is going on? Is the world really going to be in chaos? "
Xuan Ye said, "According to your grandpa and my speculation, the chaos on the continent is caused by the Dark Saint Religion. They must have planted many spies in various forces on the continent for a long time, just like your aunt Luoshui. Now that it's the last moment, they don't need to hide their spies anymore, so they launched the assassination. Their target is the leaders of various countries or the leaders of major forces. Their goal is very clear. Even if they can't succeed, they want to create some chaos on the continent. They want to delay the time we have to deal with them, so that they can use this time to achieve their goal. "While talking, they had already walked to the center of the Light Temple.
After listening to Xuan Ye's words, Dumb and Xuanyue were both in deep thought. They never thought that after they successfully completed the mission in the Death Mountain Range, there would be problems on the human side.
Xuan Ye took a few steps forward and walked to the front of the huge angel statue. He used his spiritual power to transmit his voice to the statue, "Father, Yue and the others are back."
After a while, a circle of golden light shone in front of the angel statue. Pope, who was covered in a golden priest robe, appeared in front of everyone. Compared to when Ah Ge and the others left, Pope looked more haggard. Dumb and Xuanyue woke up from their deep thoughts. Xuanyue took a few steps forward and walked to Pope. She said, "Grandpa, we're back. Are, are you alright?"
Pope sighed and smiled at Xuanyue and Dumb. He said, "It's good that you're back. Grandpa is fine. It's just that the continent is very chaotic now. All the forces are in danger. The situation isn't good!"
Dumb said, "Grandpa Pope, there's actually nothing bad about this. Instead of letting those traitors hide in the dark, it's better to expose them like this. Although it's a bit chaotic for now, it's beneficial for our future operations in the Death Mountain Range. I don't know how the forces have lost. Did any of the leaders die because of the assassination … "
Pope nodded. "The losses are still relatively big. For example, the Continental Union of Magicians. Two elders betrayed them. Although they were eliminated in the end, they were caught off guard and lost two elders. The experts of the headquarters lost almost half of their strength. You should know that experts are the most important in dealing with the dark forces. Hmm, from what you said, it seems that you've confirmed that the Dark Saint Religion is in the Death Mountain Range? "
Dumb nodded and said, "Basically, it's confirmed. It's this place …" He then briefly told them about their trip to the Death Mountain Range to inquire about the whereabouts of the headquarters of the Dark Saint Religion.
After listening to Dumb's narration, Pope's eyes lit up. He finally got the exact information about the enemy. Even with his self-restraint, he couldn't help but reveal an excited expression. "Good, you've done a good job this time. As long as the target is clear, it'll be much easier to handle."
Dumb said, "Grandpa Pope, did the other forces suffer any losses? How about our Tiangang School? "
Pope said, "The Tiangang School is very strict in accepting disciples. Many of them are the direct descendants of the senior disciples. I haven't heard of any traitors. As for the other forces, they all suffered different degrees of losses. Magus Biinluo of the Sunset Empire was injured, but I heard that it wasn't serious. Queen Quan Yi is now afraid of being assassinated. She deployed the army to guard the surroundings of Sunset City, causing panic in the Sunset Empire. The King of the Tenjin Empire was assassinated. We lost many experts to eliminate the assassins. Now, Magus Lardas is personally guarding the palace. He doesn't dare to relax. Those evil creatures from the dark forces could be said to be all-pervasive. Almost all the forces were attacked to varying degrees. They've made the continent very tense. I've sent clergymen to all the forces. Not to mention the Sunset Empire, even the forces that reached an agreement with us at the Holy Hall last time all replied that they're waiting for accurate information. They're not willing to send their elites to the Holy Hall in advance. Sigh — — They're so short-sighted. I'm afraid they'll delay our final battle with the Dark Saint Religion! You have to know that the longer we give them, the higher the possibility of the Dark Saint Religion's success. Once the entrance to the Demon Realm is opened, there will be immeasurable losses. Fortunately, you sent the news back in time. It's now the first month of the year 9999. We still have time. "
Dumb nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Yanshi and the others have already returned to their respective forces. I think the forces that support us this time won't hesitate anymore. After all, they should know how big the threat of the Dark Saint Religion is."
Pope turned to Xuan Ye and said, "Ye 'er, immediately send my orders. Send the most elite men to all the forces and invite them to immediately bring their elites to the Holy Hall. We need to gather our forces in the shortest time possible and fight to the death with the Dark Saint Religion. At the same time, order all the clergy to strengthen their training and be ready to be deployed at any time. "
Xuan Ye took the order and left. Pope turned to Dumb and said, "Last time you said you wanted to return to Tiangang School. You haven't gone there yet, right?"
Dumb nodded and said, "Now that it's come to this, there's nothing to hide anymore. The main reason why I want to return to Tiangang School is to participate in the competition between the Four Great Sword Saints, which is held once every 20 years. "
Pope was surprised and said, "The competition between the Four Great Sword Saints? What's going on? "
Dumb immediately told him the rules of the competition set by the Four Great Sword Saints in the past. "… Grandpa Pope, actually, my grandmaster Tiangang Kensei has passed away. I'm returning to Tiangang School to participate in this competition on his behalf. It's very important for our Tiangang School. I've already reported to you about the Dark Saint Religion. The Big Dipper Mountain is very close to the Holy Hall. Don't worry, as soon as the competition is over, I'll immediately join you with our people from Tiangang School. It shouldn't delay our trip to the Death Mountain Range. "
A trace of silence flashed in Pope's eyes. He murmured, "Tiangang Kensei, he, he has passed away? I didn't expect that our parting so many years ago would become an eternal one. On the continent, he's the only person who deserves my admiration. " Alas … "Pope had been brooding over his defeat to Tiangang Kensei many years ago. Although his strength had improved rapidly after he took over as Pope's successor, he never had the chance to compete with Tiangang Kensei again because of all kinds of things in the Holy Hall. At this time, when he heard that the only person he regarded as an opponent had passed away, he inevitably felt a trace of disappointment.
A trace of tears flashed in Dumb's eyes. It was as if the figure of his grandmaster had reappeared in front of him. He took a deep breath and firmly said, "Grandpa Pope, I won't lose this competition between the four Sacred Swordsmen. I won't disappoint the expectations of my grandmaster. The other three Sacred Swordsmen are also the top figures of the continent. I'll try my best to win them over and make them the most powerful helpers for us to go to the Death Mountain Range. I'll leave this to you. Time is pressing, so I want to return to Tiangang School to prepare. "
A trace of divine light flashed in Pope's eyes. He gently nodded and said, "Child, you're not only the Messiah sent by God to save the world, but also my grandson-in-law. You must pay attention to your own safety. We can't save the continent without you. Although it's important to win over the other three Sacred Swordsmen, your safety is more important. You understand what I mean. "
Feeling Pope's heartfelt concern, Dumb faintly smiled and said, "Grandpa, thank you. Don't worry, my current cultivation has almost caught up to grandmaster's in the past. I'll definitely come back safely. Grandpa, there's nothing to do in the Holy Hall for the time being. I'm afraid that Yue will be worried, so let her go with me. We'll definitely come back in two months at most. After we come back, we'll discuss how to contend against those creatures in the Death Mountain Range. "
Pope looked at his granddaughter and said, "Yue, you must listen to Dumb when you go to the Heavenly Dipper Mountain Range. Don't give him any trouble."
Xuanyue pouted coquettishly and said, "Grandpa, how can I give him trouble? Do you still treat me as a child? "
Pope smiled and said, "In Grandpa's heart, you'll always be a child. To be honest, Grandpa is very happy and gratified that you can come back safely and bring back such important news. In the future, the continent will belong to you youngsters. Since Dumb is in a hurry to return to the Heavenly Dipper Mountain Range, I won't keep you. Be careful along the way. The Holy Hall's outer perimeter is very tightly guarded. In order to save time, you can directly fly out. Hama, go and make arrangements. Don't let Yue and the others encounter any more obstacles. "
"Yes, Lord Pope." Hama replied respectfully.
After bidding farewell to Pope, Dumb and Xuanyue came to the square in front of the Holy Hall under Hama's guidance. Arriving at this place, the two of them almost simultaneously thought of the day when Dumby arrived in time to stop Xuan Yue's wedding. The two of them looked at each other, deep affection in each other's eyes. Their hands that were holding each other's hands tightened at the same time. There was no need to say anything.
Hama smiled and said, "You can go now. I will immediately arrange for the priests in charge of air defense in the Holy Hall to not make things difficult for you. Come back as soon as possible. The Holy Hall and the people of the continent both need you. "
Dumb bowed respectfully to Hama and said, "Goodbye, Priest Hama. We will definitely come back soon." After saying that, he held Xuan Yue's small hand and flew up into the sky with the help of his True Qi.
Xuan Yue's and Dumby's cultivation could be said to have reached the pinnacle of cultivation among the martial arts practitioners and mages of this continent. With the two of them exerting their full strength, their speed rapidly increased, and they headed towards the Big Dipper Mountains like lightning. They were not the slightest bit slower than when Little Bone had carried them.
In the Death Mountain Range. Central Peak.
In front of a huge circular altar, a man shrouded in black was constantly chanting a strange incantation in a strange language. A low and gloomy feeling permeated around his body. The six huge golden symbols on the altar seemed to be trembling slightly. The altar was about three meters high and about fifty meters in diameter. It was a huge equilateral hexagon. In the center of the altar was a spiral pattern with a diameter of three meters. The pattern continued to extend outwards, forming all kinds of strange symbols. On each of the six corners of the altar, there was a huge golden symbol full of holy aura. Although thousands of years had passed, the energy of these six symbols had not decreased at all.
Taking a deep breath, the man in black stopped chanting. Five black figures appeared behind him. One of them said, "Leader, how is it? How long will it take to open the exit? "
