The black market.
Some people had the 7 Holy Bibles spread out in front of themselves, flipping through them while thinking about something.
Some people gathered together, exchanging information.
Some people disappeared into the darkness and silently left.
The number of people in the black market began to decrease.
A Professionist sensed something, looked up and asked in confusion: "Ah? Why do I feel like there's a lot less people here? "
Another person next to him seriously flipped through the Holy Bibles and answered without looking up: "They've already found all the poems of prophecy and solved the labyrinth, they're probably heading there right now"
That person was shocked: "Does that mean we don't have a chance anymore?"
His companion replied: "Not necessarily, that's a labyrinth set up by the Divinities, it's not a place where we can easily obtain Divine Armaments — — - let's not talk anymore, let's find the poems of prophecy"
…
The door of the labyrinth was pushed open.
Along the long hallway, numerous statues with weapons in their hands were displayed on both sides.
At the center of the hallway, a giant statue stood still.
It was a giant clad in full armor.
He was wielding a large battle axe that was raised up high, as if about to attack someone.
Although there was no one wielding the axe, there were several overlapping images moving around the axe's blade, slicing black lines into the air around it.
"This is a Soul Artifact"
Little Dusk pointed at the battle axe and showed it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He suddenly recalled back in Triste's collection world, Lola once gave a Soul Artifact to An Li as a reward.
At the time, An Li was afraid that Gu Qing Shan didn't understand the situation, so he specifically told her how precious a Soul Artifact was to Gu Qing Shan.
Soul Artifacts contain unimaginable power, the stronger a person is, the more power they can exert when using a Soul Artifact.
Soul Artifacts have always been synonymous with precious treasures.
In the Strife Zones, other than the 1001 coins, only such precious artifacts are allowed to be circulated among the myriad races.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned towards the giant statue.
"This is a warden of the Abyss of Sin, I've seen him before, the ones around him are his servants" Little Dusk explained.
"It seems that when the soul is imprisoned by that monster, the body will turn into a statue like this" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Little Xi urged: "Let's go in quickly, otherwise if that monster takes possession of this guard's body, it'll be troublesome"
"You're right, it's probably coming back soon" Gu Qing Shan said.
A guard of the Abyss of Sin was very powerful, and this guard even had a Soul Armament — — although it was unknown what rank of Soul Armament it was, it was already very difficult to deal with.
He took Xiaoxi's hand and disappeared.
Divine Skill, Ground Shrink.
The two of them immediately appeared at the other end of the corridor.
They left the corridor, pushed open the door, and immediately stepped into a garden.
In the sky, the seven rays of light were still emitting a solemn radiance.
However, what was surprising was that the snow was still falling.
Heavy snowflakes fluttered in the air, and a cold wind blew through the entire garden.
There were many roads in the garden that led to nearly a hundred large buildings. There was also a mountain in the distance. Yes, there was a mountain in the labyrinth. There was a waterfall on the mountain, and there were a few minarets and bungalows on the top of the mountain.
Numerous statues of the Abyss of Sin guards were scattered throughout the garden.
These statues stood motionlessly, guarding the paths that led to different locations.
"As expected of a labyrinth, there are at least a few dozen paths and so many buildings, I'm afraid we'll need you to find out where the Divine Armament is hidden" Little Xi looked around and said.
Gu Qing Shan carefully observed her surroundings.
All the roads were covered in white snow, and there were no footprints at all.
— — -seems like these Abyss of Sin guards have been controlled for a very long time.
Furthermore, these buildings were all built in the same style and scale as the Holy Church. According to the memories of the soul reading officer, it was possible to deduce the purpose of many of these buildings from their appearance.
Gu Qing Shan followed the three directions shown by [Miracle Search] and chose the closest one.
It was the library next to the chapel.
Indeed, the first Divine Armament was hidden inside the library.
Gu Qing Shan said: "It should be that way"
"Let's go" Little Xi was about to fly forward.
Gu Qing Shan pulled her back.
"What are we waiting for?" Little Xi asked in confusion.
"Looking at the time, that monster should be returning soon, it's better to move alone than two people. Turn into a Card and hide on me, I'll call you when I need you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright" Little Xi answered without hesitation.
She took a step back as a bright green rune appeared around her body.
She quickly turned into a bright green Card and flew into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Putting the Card away, Gu Qing Shan's body shifted and turned into a snow eagle.
The snow eagle flew up into the sky, high up into the sky.
At this point, the garden was completely silent.
The monster had turned all the guards into statues.
— — -statues wouldn't float in the sky.
Even if the statues noticed this eagle, they wouldn't be able to attack it right away, because it was flying too high.
In the event that the monster suddenly appeared, Gu Qing Shan would have a bit of time to react.
The snow eagle flew to the top of the library.
It quickly turned around in the air and turned into a bee.
The bee was lying on top of a snowflake that looked like goose feathers, drifting down along with the wind, only moving its wings when necessary.
The snowflake silently landed on the roof of the library.
The bee went into the thick layer of snow.
It crawled all the way to the roof tiles before turning into an even smaller ant.
The ant suddenly stopped.
He released his inner sight and sensed some sort of commotion in the garden.
A guard of the Abyss of Sin that gave off a terrifying presence was pacing back and forth.
— — -the monster had returned.
The ant stopped for a bit longer.
It patiently waited until the monster entered a certain building.
The ant then crawled along the tiny gap between the tiles until it reached a certain air vent.
The ant crawled into the air vent.
It crawled along the long air vent until it reached the air vent on the ceiling of the library.
The ant stopped for a bit, peeked its head out, and looked down.
Only to see rows upon rows of books neatly arranged in the main hall.
A statue was sitting at the circulation counter of the library.
The light from the fireplace shone on his body, highlighting his old and sorrowful appearance.
— — -this was a human wearing a robe and holding a scepter in his hand.
To be able to become a guard of the Abyss of Sin with a human body, this person must be very powerful.
The ant only took a glance and went back.
Although the other party didn't do anything, he felt that it was better to be cautious.
Because he couldn't tell if the guard below was a wizard or a wizard.
If it was a wizard, Gu Qing Shan could choose to engage in close combat and kill him in a few strikes.
— — -as a wizard, turning back from a statue and having to cast a spell right away wouldn't be as fast as Gu Qing Shan's [Life Seeker].
But it was a different story if it was a wizard.
Wizards didn't just know how to use spells.
Many wizards were also quite skilled in close combat.
Gu Qing Shan estimated that it would be very difficult for him to kill a wizard of the same level as the black scorpion with his current strength.
Turning back into a scorpion at this point would be a waste of Soul Points.
It would be best if he didn't waste even a single bit of Soul Points.
More importantly, even if he killed the old man, there would still be more powerful guards of the Abyss of Sin coming for him.
While he was thinking, a female voice resounded in his mind.
Little Dusk asked: "Did you find the location of the Divine Armament?"
She was curious as to where the Divine Armament was hidden.
Gu Qing Shan sent her voice: "I found it, it's right next to the statue, inside the wall behind the fireplace"
Little Dusk was surprised: "How could it be hidden so well?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "When the Divinity gave me the coin just now, he already gave me a hint"
"What hint?" Little Dusk asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "He said that he set up a labyrinth to hide the three Divine Armaments here — — -buried, that's what he meant"
Little Dusk commented: "It seems the Divinity was afraid that the Divine Armaments would fall into the monster's hands — — the monster would definitely destroy them"
Gu Qing Shan commented: "It seems the Divinity understood this monster quite well. They knew that with the monster's way of thinking, it wouldn't know that there were things hidden inside the wall"
Little Dusk asked: "If we go down now, will the monster notice?"
"Definitely" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Why are you so sure?" Little Dusk asked.
"Because the monster specifically placed a statue down here, which means that as long as the statue is here, it would be able to observe everything that happens here, as well as enter the statue's body at any time" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"Then what do we do?" Little Dusk asked.
"I'm thinking" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Little Dusk suggested: "How about I lure him away?"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "With your current strength, you'll definitely be stalled by him, then the monster will send the strongest guard of the Abyss of Sin to kill you"
Little Dusk smiled and said: "Seems like you still don't understand the Envoy of Condemnation's fighting style"
A card appeared out of thin air in front of the ant.
This card didn't have any patterns on it, only three lines of text.
[Angel of Condemnation, Dusk has requested to become one of your summoning cards, do you accept?]
[This summoning contract is: Free]
"If you agree, please touch this card lightly."
The ant paused briefly, then lightly touched the card with its antennae.
The contract card then turned into a jade-green card that hovered in front of the ant.
Little Dusk was standing on top of the card, covering her mouth as she giggled.
The ant didn't move for a while.
"Alright, I was surprised" Gu Qing Shan sent her voice.
"What's there to be surprised about? Since it's an Envoy of Condemnation, you can naturally sign a summoning contract" Little Dusk explained.
"Then what should we do next?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Little Dusk triumphantly replied: "Come, big sis will teach you … first, you need to summon me …"
…
Inside the silent library, a loud noise abruptly resounded.
The ceiling was broken open as a white-clothed girl descended from above.
As she descended, she was already holding a few cards in her hand.
"Light of Flame Refinement!" the girl shouted.
She threw a card onto the table.
The card disappeared. Intense flames manifested from thin air and surrounded the statue.
As soon as the girl appeared, the statue came to life.
The old man swung his scepter, summoning a layer of frigid air to cover himself.
"I'm going to kill you!" the old man shouted in a low voice.
The white-clothed girl made a face, turned around, and ran.
She broke through the library's door and ran towards the garden.
The old man slammed his scepter on the ground.
Immediately, a black snake carried him on its back and chased after him at lightning speed.
One running and one chasing, they quickly went far away.
At this point, a person appeared in front of the fireplace.
Gu Qing Shan.
He slashed his sword into the fire.
Wherever the sword phantom went, the wall was immediately broken.
A luxurious box silently sat inside the wall.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand and put the box into her Inventory Bag.
At the very next moment, Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
The entire process only lasted for a single second.
He reappeared in the air duct and shouted: "Dismiss the summoning!"
In the garden outside the library.
Little Dusk who was still running suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared from the old man's sight.
The old man froze.
"Damn it!"
He roared and unleashed a spell towards where Little Dusk originally stood.
Boom — —
A deep hole appeared on the ground.
On the other side.
A summoning card appeared in front of the ant.
Little Dusk stood inside the card, smiling at the ant.
A few moments later.
The old man finally remembered something and angrily rushed back to the library to check the situation.
He could only see the empty hole in the wall.
