After comforting the two little fellows who were covered in wounds, Lu Sheng quickly obtained all the information regarding the mysterious woman, Yati.
This woman shared the same name as the seven-colored dragons' teacher. Along the way, the two seven-colored dragons had mistaken her for their teacher's human form. Hence, they sought her protection.
Out of compassion, Yati killed the enemies who were pursuing the young dragons. She volunteered to escort the young dragons.
The two young dragons did not intend to come here. However, along the way, they heard from Yati that the leader of the Devil Shadow organization here was a seven-colored dragon. Hence, they came here to seek protection.
The Seven-colored Dragon Tribe was a minority tribe. Many of its members were close and supportive of each other.
Hence, the young dragons requested Yati to bring them here to seek protection instead of searching for the long-lost Seven-colored Dragon Tribe.
Along the way, the three of them encountered wave after wave of ambushes. There were countless hunters who coveted the bodies of the seven-colored dragons. They advanced wave after wave, fearless of death.
Due to a few moments of carelessness, even the battle-hardened Yati was heavily injured. The two young dragons managed to hold on. They only suffered superficial wounds.
Everything that happened after that was witnessed by Lu Sheng.
Standing in the study in the villa, Lu Sheng slowly put down the documents in his hands.
'This child … She hasn't had it easy …' He sighed with emotion after reading Yati's information.
"What are your orders, master?" A twisted, blood-red shadow hovered near Lu Sheng. It spoke in an androgynous voice.
"I must return this favor." Lu Sheng clenched his fist. The documents in his palm immediately exploded into countless paper shards.
"I'll personally make a trip to the Ice Blue Cult Nation tomorrow," said Lu Sheng while stroking his chin.
"I'm afraid I can't tomorrow. Miss Red Leaf plans to secretly follow the little lizard to the special training. We haven't ascertained if the special training is still within our control. We might need you to oversee it personally, master, "said the red shadow in a deep voice.
"Did Red Leaf cause any trouble recently?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"It's alright."
After muttering to himself for a moment, Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
"Forget it, then I won't go tomorrow. I was planning to leave for a while to relax … But now I can't. However, I'll leave Yati to you for now. Arrange everything properly. "
Ever since he used the Cursed Land to get rid of the Indefinite Cult Master's mark, he was more concerned about Lu Hongye's development. It was not only because he had placed his hopes on Lu Hongye, but also because he had other plans.
"As you wish," the red shadow replied.
…
…
The Ice Blue Cult Nation was a religious nation located to the south of the City of Dawn. It ruled over countless blind citizens.
Tia had just left the City of Dawn.
"The long sword will bring victory." She put her palms together and prayed in a low voice in the jolting ox cart.
The dark-skinned woman sitting opposite her gave her a strange look but didn't say anything.
Young men and women with fatigued and numb expressions sat in the carriage. They were all devout believers who were heading to various places in the Cult Nation.
After Yati left Dawn City, she found an excuse to join this team. She hitched a ride to the cult nation.
As she sat in her seat, she looked at the numb faces of the people around her. She felt a little dejected.
The people who had sent her family to the cross in the past wore the same numbness on their faces.
The ox cart moved forward at a moderate pace. Along the way, there were people getting on and off the cart from time to time. When she saw an empty seat, Yati swiftly switched to another one. Then, she hid in a corner and secretly checked her equipment.
For the sake of this trip, she had converted all the resources she could use into assistance for this trip.
Even though she knew the chances of this trip were slim.
Time passed slowly. The sun outside the carriage slowly set in the west.
After an unknown period of time, the thick and dirty curtains of the ox cart were lifted. A bearded man with a white headscarf poked his head in.
"We've arrived, my dear guests."
"We've arrived?" Yati was stunned. Her heart tightened slightly. She quickly reached for the hilt of the saber in her bosom.
"Come down, all of you." The passengers were chased off the cart.
When Yati alighted from the cart, she looked around her. She was still slightly confused.
This was not the cult nation's capital. Instead, it was a small path in the middle of a barren forest.
There was a small tea stall on the right. There were many people sitting inside. They seemed to be passersby waiting here.
"Where are we?" one of the passengers asked in surprise.
"It's not that I don't want to bring you into the city, but I have no other choice. The city guards only allow you to go up to this point. Don't worry. Just follow this small path straight ahead. You'll reach the holy city in less than five minutes," the bearded driver explained.
The passengers sighed helplessly when they heard that.
Some of them entered the tea stall to rest. Some of them tidied up their luggage and continued on their way.
Yati recalled the information she had gathered on this trip.
If she wanted revenge, she had to eliminate the enemy's surrounding strongholds. Otherwise, if she was caught in a human wave attack, the martial skills she had painstakingly trained for many years would be useless.
'If we're careful and discreet, there might still be hope.' Yati knew that this was the enemy's weakest moment. If she did not make her move now, she might not have another chance in the future.
'I'll take out the leaders of the support points and strongholds first.' She tightened her grip on the saber in her bosom and quickly advanced along the small path.
There was no one to accompany her. She was alone, and she didn't follow the entire path.
Instead, she left the small path and entered the forest on the right. She began searching for something.
Soon, she found the target that she had anticipated.
An oval altar covered in blue and white patterns.
More than ten priests were chanting hymns softly around the altar. There were a few teams of masters in silver armor patrolling the area.
A human-shaped stone sculpture was mounted on the top of the altar. It shone with a faint silver radiance as the hymns prayed.
"Found it!" When she saw this, a cold glint flashed across Yati's eyes. She slowly concealed her breathing and heartbeat. Her footsteps became lighter and sounder as she slowly approached the altar.
"Pcchht!"
The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh rang out.
After a brief exchange of blows, the area around the altar was littered with corpses. Yati quickly wiped the blood off her blade and left quietly.
More than an hour later, the second nearby stronghold was ambushed again. More than 20 people were killed or injured.
Then, the third.
Yati continued to retaliate in a frenzy. The hatred in her heart gave rise to an uncontrollable joy as she killed.
According to her calculations, the Ice Blue Vatican would definitely send out the Apologetic Knights to pursue her after she destroyed the five Sacrificial Halls.
However, even after she destroyed the seventh stronghold, the Vatican still did not have any reaction.
'What's going on?!' Tia wiped the blade clean on the corpse's clothes again. She sank into deep thought.
Originally, she had already prepared herself for a bitter battle, but along the way, the ease with which she killed one after another caused an indescribable doubt to rise in her heart.
…
…
Inside the Crowe Canyon.
This peculiar canyon located at the outskirts of the capital was a path that the Ice Blue Vatican's Guardian Knights had to pass through when they were on a mission.
At this time, the knights who had received the order to conquer the evil cult had already set off for more than two hours.
Every member of this group of knights was the best of the best. They were carefully selected from the Papal Army. Every one of them was at least a Silver-tier, while the officers were all Gold-tier.
Needless to say, the two commanders of the knights were true legendary powerhouses.
There were a total of 1,200 people in the entire group of knights. A force like this was a heavy deterrent that could not be ignored by any faction.
However, in the Crowe Canyon, layers upon layers of corpses were like abandoned puppets. They collapsed on the rugged ground of the canyon.
Giant vultures circled and screeched in the sky. A few wild dogs that were commonly seen as scavengers were peeking out from the shadows. Their eyes flashed with greed and hunger.
"Not a single one of the second batch of people were left behind."
Bavitan sat on the only clean white boulder in the canyon, bored. His body emitted black smoke that resembled a living creature.
Ever since Master had taught them the technique to separate negative emotions, as Abominations, the inner demons that they separated were definitely at the legendary level, be it in terms of destructive power or various polluting qualities.
Their originally chaotic minds were perfected with this separation, and they regained their rationality. This was equivalent to a Abomination being split into several parts. Moreover, their strength did not decrease by much.
"I hope they'll be stronger next time. This is too boring …" The ground around Bavitan slowly wriggled. It began to swallow the corpses scattered all over the ground. The corpses sank and were completely submerged into the bottomless soil.
With a flash of black light, all the remains in the canyon disappeared. Only a few bloodstains were left. It was obvious that a terrible battle had happened here.
…
…
Dawn City.
"She must've been determined to die. She attacked the various strongholds of the Ice Blue Church. She must've killed as many as she could. What a tragic act. "Lu Sheng smiled as he held the report in his hand.
He had just sent his subordinates to the seven-colored dragons. When he turned to look at Tia, he was surprised to find that the progress was much faster than he had expected.
"Instruct Bavitan and the others to protect our benefactor. They should be more proactive when they attack. We must let them feel our deep concern." Lu Sheng flashed an inexplicable smile.
"If that's the case … I'm afraid we'll have to face the Ice Blue Church head-on …" one of the blurry figures standing in the study said softly.
"That's fine." Lu Sheng smiled. "It's just the Ice Blue Church."
The others said no more. They understood their master's persistence in this matter from his words.
"Alright, you may leave." Lu Sheng waved his hand.
The figures were about to blur and vanish when one of them suddenly shuddered.
"Master, there's urgent news." The figure waved his hand and shot a beam of red light into Lu Sheng's palm. It transformed into an exquisite report that resembled an invitation.
Lu Sheng raised his brows. He picked up the report and quickly scanned through it.
"Oh …?" He was slightly surprised. When he read the contents of the letter, even he could not help but admire Tia's decisiveness.
"I'm afraid Bavitan alone won't be enough …" Lu Sheng put down the letter and swept his gaze across the people before him.
"Well then, are you interested in making a trip outside?"
