Fang Heng forced himself to focus and quickly checked the attributes of the three pieces of equipment that were dropped after Karkkila's death.

The scepter and the sacred study notebook were undoubtedly top-grade Holy Light attribute equipment, and they were not bound!

He could sell them for money!

These two pieces of equipment were only effective against holy skills and could not allow his strength to undergo another qualitative change.

He was very short of money now. It would be faster to sell them off directly!

Fang Heng quickly made a judgment.

As for the third incomplete chapter of the Book of Oaths, the description was a little strange. It might be related to some special mission.

He could put it aside for now.

Fang Heng felt extremely dizzy, and it was difficult for him to continue thinking. He simply put the three items back into his backpack and staggered to stand up again.

Looking around, a large amount of plague aura was still seeping out from the collapsed mine.

"Fang Heng!"

Mo Jiawei and the city lord's guards rushed over and helped Fang Heng up. He asked, "How is it? Can you still hold on?"

Fang Heng clutched his throbbing head and gritted his teeth. He replied, "Yes, I'm a little exhausted. I need some time to rest. I need to find a place as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Fang Heng's words, Lord Brent, who had followed them, could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

As long as Fang Heng was fine.

Ed and the higher-up players did not come up immediately. They only looked at Fang Heng from afar.

"Zhuo Lingfang, go offline and report to Li Xue's team. Let's go and take a look at Fang Heng. Remember not to expose his identity."

"Alright."

On the other side, Lord Chadwick immediately sent his subordinates to the ruins to investigate after seeing the death of the archbishop of the Holy Court. He rushed over with a nervous expression and nodded at Fang Heng, "Lord Fang Heng, the situation in the mining area…"

"Yes, I didn't expect the people of the Holy Court to destroy the seal at all costs, dragging the entire Empire into an extremely dangerous situation."

Fang Heng said as he turned back to look at the collapsed entrance to the abyss.

With the disappearance of the dead soul bodies, the entire cave returned to peace. More and more black plague aura rose from the ruins and spread in the air.

"The seal in the mine has been destroyed by the Holy Court. Mr. Warren will be here soon to inspect it. Before that, Lord Chadwick, please send someone to continue guarding it. In addition, the ghost tower must continue to operate and do its best to dispel the plague aura."

"Alright, I'll send someone to double the security. Not even a fly can fly in!"

Lord Brent did not say anything. He looked at Fang Heng expectantly, feeling conflicted.

He really wanted to ask Fang Heng about the situation of the ghost tower, but Fang Heng's situation did not look too good.

After all, he had just gone through a huge battle, and his mental strength had been greatly depleted. It would be inappropriate to continue asking about the mage tower.

But Lord Brent was too anxious.

The explosion of the mushroom cloud caused by the abyss demon's fluctuation was extremely terrifying, and it left a huge shadow in his heart.

Only Chadwick's seven ghost towers were able to withstand it.

What if there was a similar explosion in his territory?

Who could withstand this?

Lord Brent asked with a bashful face, "Lord Fang Heng, regarding the mage tower…"

"Yes, I'll do it as soon as possible. The supplies are already on the way. I'll start building immediately after the supplies are delivered."

"Alright, I'll go back and get someone to prepare it."

After receiving Fang Heng's affirmative answer, Lord Brent immediately agreed.

Ed's team quickly caught up.

"Lord Brent, the plague aura has greatly affected the safety of the Empire. His Majesty was extremely furious when he learned of it. We will announce what the Holy Court has done in Lincoln City to the public, and we hope that you can be a witness."

Lord Brent understood what was going on.

They were going to eradicate the Holy Court by the roots!

Now that the archbishop of the Holy Court was dead, it was time for everyone to push him down.

Lord Brent quickly weighed the gains and losses.

There were too many suspicious points behind the appearance of the abyssal demon. No matter who was behind this, the Holy Court had already collapsed.

The only ones who could deal with the abyssal demon were Tang Mingyue and Lord Fang Heng.

Taking a step back, he had long been tired of the believers of the Holy Court in his territory.

As long as he could use this opportunity to push the blame onto the Holy Court, he could wipe out all the believers of the Holy Court.

At the same time, he could deepen his cooperation with Fang Heng.

After thinking it through, Lord Brent immediately said righteously, "Yes, you're right. The Holy Court destroyed the seal of the abyss and caused so much damage to Lincoln City. If it wasn't for Lord Fang Heng and the Mage Association, the entire city would have been destroyed! Everyone here and I have witnessed everything with our own eyes. We can't let this matter go just like that. We must get an explanation from the Holy Court!"

1298 Operation

Many of the feudal lords present had a close relationship with Fang Heng, and many of them had already pledged loyalty to Tang Mingyue. With Lord Brent taking the lead, they all agreed, saying that they wanted to teach the Holy Court a lesson.

"The Holy Court is suppressing us necromancy scholars for no reason. We will report this to the Mage Association when we get back. I believe the president will stand on the side of justice."

After this battle, many mages who studied necromancy had a deeper recognition of Fang Heng.

That was a forbidden spell of necromancy!

In addition, they had already fought with the Holy Court, and the members of the Mage Association were in a rage. Naturally, they were clamoring to deal with the Holy Court together.

Fang Heng's head was still swollen, and he was so dizzy that it was difficult for him to think. He only felt that his ears were even noisier, and he wanted to find a place to have a good sleep.

The game prompt appeared on his retina again.

[Hint: You have displayed a powerful ability in necromancy.]

[Hint: You have received the recognition of the Mage Association. Your reputation in the Mage Association has increased greatly.]

[Hint: You have successfully promoted necromancy on the continent. Your reputation among scholars has increased slightly.]

[Hint: Your actions have attracted the attention of some special factions.]

Chepo looked at the furious crowd and shook his head.

The Holy Court was probably in big trouble this time.

Amongst the crowd, a satisfied smile appeared on Ed's face.

Everything was going according to Li Xue's plan.

Taking advantage of the death of the archbishop of the Holy Court, she would take advantage of the situation to attack and crush the entire Holy Court!

Now, it was up to Tang Wu to decide what to do.

Should he give the Holy Court a hand? Or should he give up on the Holy Court?

No matter what they did, Li Xue had already prepared a sufficient response plan and was ready to give Tang Wu a big blow.

…

In the capital of the Empire, sitting on the throne of the palace, Tang Wu's face was ashen, and the back of his molars had already been ground to the point of making crunching sounds.

"Trash! Are they all trash?"

To put it nicely, what were the top, middle, and worst strategies?

Sneak into Lincoln City to find evidence of Fang Heng, then dig a trap for the Land of Plague to jump into.

And the result?

Dig a hole and bury yourself?

You're showing me this?

Tang Wu laughed in anger.

"Your Majesty, after what happened last night, the outside world is saying that the Holy Court is the culprit behind the leakage of the plague aura. Many feudal lords have denounced the Holy Court, and we have also been greatly implicated."

Hearing the report from Tianshu Academy, Tang Wu sneered again.

"Heh, the Holy Court is incapable of doing anything but is capable of spoiling everything. They didn't give us many benefits, but now they're dragging us down?"

Ding Shixiu said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Court is indeed stupid, but now is not the time to complain. The truth is not important. The Holy Court must not be the source of the plague aura. We must prevent the rumors from spreading."

"Bang!!"

Tang Wu threw the teacup in his hand on the ground and looked angry. He said, "How many times has it been? He still wants us to help him clean up the mess? How dare the Holy Court!"

Ding Shixiu's heart sank, and he persuaded, "Your Majesty, please reconsider! The Holy Court is closely related to us, and the world knows about it. Right now, many of the Empire's feudal lords are waiting to see our attitude. If we abandon the Holy Court today, the various feudal lords' impressions of us will greatly decrease. Moreover, although the archbishop of the Holy Court has already died, there is still a portion of fanatics among the Holy Court's believers. They are still targets that we can use. We can use this opportunity to recruit them and use their strength to deal with…"

"Alright, you can make the decision for the Holy Court."

Tang Wu was already extremely annoyed with the Holy Court and did not want to hear the words 'Holy Court' anymore. He asked again, "Is the holy seal in the city doing well?"

"Karkkila reinforced the seal a second time before leaving. There won't be any problems for the time being. In addition, the Alchemy Society is also trying to seal the plague aura through alchemy."

"Karkkila has finally done something. How's the progress on the sacred tree?" Tang Wu shook his head and asked again, "Have you found a way to deal with the sacred tree?"

"Yes, it's already in the works. We've traded a large number of military supplies from Tang Mingyue, and the alchemy magic array plan given by the Alchemy Society has been perfected. The president of the Alchemy Society has assured us that we will be able to deal with the sacred tree. In addition, the awakening ceremony of the Empire's holy artifact in the Council of Elders will be completed tonight. "

"Good!"

Tang Wu clenched his fists as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

Seeing this, Ding Shixiu could not help but frown and persuade, "Your Majesty, we think that it's too risky to attack the Land of Plague directly…"

"No need to say anymore. We'll do it tomorrow morning. I don't want to wait another minute."

"Yes."

…

The barbarians had always been a race that revered martial arts.

After entering the barbarian race's territory, Mikhael and Wei Tao went through many hardships to prove their strength. They passed the many tests of the barbarian race and met their leader.

After that, there were successive tests.

Finally, Wei Tao spent a long time talking and finally the barbarian leader agreed to cooperate.

Wagnet personally sent Wei Tao and his companion back to their tent. He said, "My father has agreed to cooperate with Lord Fang Heng. We will set off tomorrow. The seven elders of the clan will accompany us. With their understanding of the abyssal demon, they will definitely be able to help."

"That's great. It's all thanks to your help that it went so smoothly this time."

"Don't say that. Fang Heng saved my life, and once the abyssal demon escape the seal, the outbreak of the plague is something we barbarians don't want to see."

[Hint: The player team has completed the trial mission-barbarian's recognition. The player team has completed the mission ahead of time and received an additional 30 hours of trial time.]

Looking at the game notification, Wei Tao and Mikhael smiled at each other and finally relaxed.

The mission was considered completed, and the team earned extra trial game time. It was considered a great success.

It had been a long time since he had felt this kind of stable happiness.

When they were carrying out missions with Fang Heng, they were always interrupted by unexpected events, and they were always uncertain.

Teammates would always do something scary for you. It was like a battle of wits and courage with your teammates.

This trip to the barbarian tribe was indeed tiring, but the results were still gratifying.

Mikhael stretched and relaxed his stiff muscles. He asked, "Do you think Fang Heng will be shocked if we complete the mission two days ahead of schedule?"

"That's not necessary."

Wei Tao was also in a good mood. He shrugged and replied, "At least we can help him relieve some pressure by going back early this time."

Mikhael sighed, "No matter what, I finally feel like I'm participating in this barbarian mission. There hasn't been any notification from Fang Heng for the past two days. I'm not used to it."

Wei Tao also had the same feeling.

Suddenly, Fang Heng was not by their side, and they did not cause any trouble. They were still not used to it.

Sometimes, people were just cheap.

1299 The Soaring Spiritual Power

"I suggest that you start to get used to it. According to action plan we set before, Fang Heng should still be building the ghost tower. Tang Mingyue is also fighting with Tang Wu for the position of the heir to the royal family."

"Yes, they are under a lot of pressure. The difficulty of this mission is not low…"

As the two of them were discussing, a game hint suddenly appeared on their retina.

[Hint: The player's trial team member Fang Heng successfully killed the archbishop of the Holy Court. The player has not participated in the killing at the moment and cannot receive the reward.]

Seeing the game hint, Wei Tao and Mikhael stopped their discussion at the same time. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Did they see it wrongly?

Archbishop of the Holy Court?

One of the boss characters in the intermediate game.

Slaughtered by Fang Heng?

…

In the fortress of Lincoln City, the afternoon sun shone into the room through the window.

On the bed, Fang Heng opened his eyes.

Not good.

He had actually slept for so long.

Fang Heng glanced at the game log and frowned. He immediately sat up straight on the bed.

After half a day of rest, the feeling of dizziness and swelling in his brain had completely disappeared.

"Eh?"

Just as he was about to check his body condition, Fang Heng could not help but let out a soft gasp.

He realized that the connection between him and the zombie clones had become clearer than ever.

In the past, the spiritual connection between him and the zombie clones was relatively weak. He often could not sense the specific location and situation of the zombie clones after a certain distance. He could only remotely control it through the game log.

After waking up, he felt completely different. He could sense the state of every zombie clone in the city.

He could also roughly sense the situation of the other zombie clones in the city.

How could there be such changes?

Fang Heng found it strange and opened the game log and mission attribute bar to check.

"I see. It should be because of the surge in spiritual power."

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

The most obvious change was in his spiritual power.

Last night, he risked his life and drank the potion given by Qiu Yaokang at the last moment. He had successfully killed the archbishop of the Holy Court and made a killing.

Similarly, he had paid a great price for this.

Now, he had become a spellcaster.

Spell effects were increased, spell cooldowns were reduced, and there was also a powerful spiritual force as a backing.

Unfortunately, it was very troublesome after the undead effect was covered. Not only did he lose his rapid recovery of HP and physical immunity to death, but his self-protection ability was also greatly reduced. He also had to take an additional 560% damage.

Even the zombie clones had inherited all of his passive abilities, and their combat ability had been greatly reduced.

He was afraid that the zombie clones would be unreliable during the final battle against the abyssal demon.

Right now, he could only use the ghost tower, the sacred tree, and the skill of Everlasting Moon…

"I hope it works."

Fang Heng sighed silently in his heart. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was full of difficulties.

For safety reasons, he tried not to go out for fun during this period of time. After all, he had the passive skill "glass cannon", which would shatter with a touch.

However, there was good news.

His spiritual power had increased by 600%, and it was much easier to control the zombie clones.

The efficiency of building a mage tower could be further improved!

Also, after the transformation of the virus body, he also had the effect of being immune to the plague aura.

Thinking of this, Fang Heng could not help but get out of bed and walk out of the door.

Last night, the entrance to the underground abyss below the mine was completely destroyed. The aura must have leaked on a large scale.

Not good.

Under extreme circumstances, the abyssal demon might awaken prematurely.

"Lord Fang Heng, you're awake."

Zhuo Lingfang had been waiting at the lower level of the city lord's fortress. When she saw Fang Heng walking down the stairs, she immediately went up to him.

"Hmm, just you? Where are the others?"

"Mr. Warren, Lord Chadwick, and the guests from the Mage Association are investigating the mine area. His Highness Tang Mo went to the eastern part of the Empire to lobby the feudal lords to pledge allegiance. Mr. Ed escorted a batch of supplies to Lord Brent's territory to build the ghost tower…"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Mm, okay, got it. Let's go to the mine area to take a look."

Zhuo Lingfang hurriedly sent a message to Li Xue's team that Fang Heng had woken up, while she quickly caught up to Fang Heng's footsteps, "Okay, okay."

…

In the mine area, the thick plague aura lingered as if it was solid, accumulating a thick layer on the ground.

The seven ghost towers were already activated at full power. The dark light screen connected together, controlling the aura within the area covered by the light screen.

All the irrelevant personnel in the city had been expelled in advance. Lord Chadwick was discussing something with Warren and the members of the Mage Association.

"President Fang Heng."

When President Randolf saw Fang Heng, he smiled and nodded at him. "Congratulations, the entire Mage Association is now discussing the forbidden necromancy spell you cast last night. When we arrived, there were already quite a number of apprentice mages who switched to necromancy. Many people in the association have already acknowledged that you are the founder of necromancy."

After what happened last night, the Mage Association was once again proud.

Holy Court! Amazing enough!

Having lived well under the direct and covert attacks of several generations of emperors, the current archbishop, Karkkila, was considered the most outstanding successor in hundreds of years.

But?

Last night, a vice president of the Mage Association had easily taken care of him!

The reputation of the Mage Association had increased greatly in the Empire.

More and more mages started to have ideas about necromancy, and they started to learn necromancy.

[Hint: Your reputation in the Mage Association has increased significantly.]

[Hint: You have contributed to the promotion of necromancy. Your actions have attracted the attention of some special forces.]

Fang Heng understood as he listened.

It turned out that the people from the Mage Association had mistaken the Everlasting Moon skill from last night as a forbidden necromancy skill.

A beautiful misunderstanding.

He would gain a wave of reputation and friendliness from the Mage Association for nothing.

Fang Heng didn't explain and just said a few polite words.

"Thanks to the Mage Association's excavation, the study of necromancy can have better development."

Randolf couldn't hide the smile on his face. He didn't know how Fang Heng cultivated to be able to master so many forbidden techniques at such a young age.

"By the way, is Lord Fang Heng recovering well?"

"I'm sorry. I forcefully cast a high-level spell yesterday and suffered some backlash. I've almost recovered now."

Fang Heng waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big problem.

Now that he thought about it, last night was too dangerous.

If it wasn't for the plague aura that weakened most of Karkkila's strength, the additional 600% increase in the effect of the ultimate skill, the Everlasting Moon, and his good luck, the dead soul bodies that he summoned just happened to be able to restrain the Holy…

Under the effects of all sorts of superimposing effects, Karkkila was successfully taken care of.

1300 Deep into the Abyss

After chatting with the people from the Mage Association, Fang Heng focused his gaze on the ruins left behind by the exploded iron mine.

Warren stepped forward and said, "Fang Heng, I've already conducted an inspection. The periphery seal of the abyssal demon has been destroyed. It's very difficult to re-establish the seal. I'm afraid we'll have to surround the entire mine area. This will be time-consuming and time-consuming. We won't be able to make it in time. Such a large-scale construction will take at least half a year."

Fang Heng frowned.

Half a year?

It was too slow.

Before the seal was completed, the abyssal demon would have already escaped.

"Is there no other way?"

"I can't think of anything for the time being. Fang Heng, I can feel that the aura leaking from the abyss has accelerated compared to before. I suspect that there have been changes to the inner seal. It's likely the work of the Holy Court."

Warren's expression was solemn as he continued, "I'm afraid that the abyssal demon will soon mutate. The final battle with the abyssal demon might come sooner than we expected."

Fang Heng looked in the direction of the ruins and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to go in and take a look."

"No, it's too dangerous. The plague aura is too dense. We can't get close at all."

"I know. I have a way to deal with it."

"You can?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded.

Previously, they could not go deep into the abyss to investigate. On the one hand, they were worried that it would cause the abyssal demon to move. On the other hand, they could not withstand the denser plague aura below the seal.

After absorbing the virus last night, his body had become immune to the plague aura. He could go in and take a look.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

He was more worried about whether the Holy Court had done anything to the inner seal last night.

Considering the attributes of the glass cannon and the fact that he didn't have the life-saving effect of the undying body, his body was too fragile. He could let the zombie clone go down and check the situation first.

"In short, clear the entrance to the underground abyss first. I'll let the undead creatures enter to investigate first. After confirming that there's no danger, we'll try to enter."

Warren knew that Fang Heng had always been very steady in his work, so he did not persuade him anymore. He nodded and said, "Alright, be careful."

Everyone waited for a moment. Soon, a large number of zombie clones walked over through the portal of the ghost tower.

Under everyone's gaze, the zombie clones slowly walked into the thick fog shrouded by the plague and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Like the others, Fang Heng could not see the scene in the black fog, but he could clearly sense the location of each zombie clone and easily control them to clean up the ruins.

After nearly half an hour, a tunnel leading to the underground abyss was successfully dug out from the collapsed ruins.

"It's almost time. I'll go in and take a look. You guys stay outside."

Lord Chadwick could not see anything. He only heard Fang Heng say that it was almost done, but he did not understand what he meant. He could only watch as Fang Heng walked into the black fog, and he could not help but sweat for him.

Randolph frowned and asked, "Lord Fang Heng, is there no problem?"

"Don't worry, it's just an investigation. If I encounter any danger, I'll retreat immediately."

As he spoke, Fang Heng's figure slowly disappeared into the thick black plague.

[Hint: The player has entered a special area. The player is immune to the effects of plague aura.]

The tunnel dug by the zombie clone was very narrow. Fang Heng simply transformed into his bat form and flew down the tunnel.

Fang Heng once again arrived at the underground abyss.

More than 200 zombie clones gathered around Fang Heng.

Fang Heng returned to his human form and quickly looked around to familiarize himself with the terrain of the entire abyss.

The last time he entered the abyss, he was chased by Karkkila and did not have the time to carefully examine the abyss environment.

The structure of the abyss was very similar to the underground world. It was very empty, and the entire abyss was filled with the dense black plague.

As the plague aura also blocked his senses, Fang Heng had no idea which direction to go.

He could only use a stupid method.

Fang Heng controlled the surrounding zombie clones to spread out and explore, trying to find the specific location of the abyss seal.

"It's a little difficult…"

Fang Heng stayed on alert for two minutes, but the zombies he sent out to patrol still didn't find him.

The underground abyss was much wider than he had imagined.

However, the entire underground world was lifeless. There were no signs of life, and the zombies were not attacked.

"Wait a little longer."

Normally, Fang Heng would have relied on the bug effect of the undying body to explore boldly.

Unfortunately, it was a glass cannon now. Fang Heng could only wait patiently.

Thinking about it, the underground area was extremely vast. He did not know when he would find something. It would be a waste of time to stay here.

While he let the zombie clones wait and see, he could try to build a mage tower from a distance.

With that thought in mind, Fang Heng first gathered a group of Lickers to speed up the investigation. Then, he transformed into his bat form again and flew towards the entrance.

Outside the cave, Lord Chadwick and the others who were waiting anxiously saw Fang Heng emerge from the ghost fog. Their hearts finally settled down.

Lord Chadwick took two steps forward and asked, "Lord Fang Heng, is the situation below the seal alright?"

"I'm not sure yet. The area below the abyss is very wide. I'm already controlling the undead creatures to investigate. It might take some time before I get any feedback. You don't have to stay here with me."

"Alright, it's good that you're safe. There are still many citizens waiting to be evacuated. I'll go over it first. Inform me if there's any news."

"Mm, that's good too." Randolph nodded and said, "It's safer to use summoned creatures to investigate. The Mage Association will do its best to ensure the operation of the mage tower. President Fang Heng, you don't have to be polite. If you need anything, you can ask someone to look for me at any time."

"Thank you."

Fang Heng watched everyone leave, then shifted his gaze to Zhuo Lingfang behind them and asked, "Can you contact Ed and the others now?"

Zhuo Lingfang was suddenly called out by Fang Heng, and her entire person quivered. She nodded and said, "Yes, I can do it."

"Yes, contact Ed. I'll use the summoned creatures to go to Lord Brent's territory to build a mage tower. Tell him to make preparations."

"Yes, yes, alright. I'll tell him immediately that Commander Ed has finished preparing the supplies half an hour ago. When can we start building?"

"Now. We'll start when the summoned creatures are in place."

"Hmm?"

Zhuo Lingfang revealed a puzzled expression.

"Alright, I'll go now."

Fang Heng nodded, closed his eyes, and focused. He tried to remotely control the zombie clones to go to Lord Brent's territory to build the mage tower.

1301 Remote Control

Ornes, a coastal city in Lord Brent's territory.

Coincidentally, there was a leakage of the plague aura here.

After considering all aspects, Lord Brent decided to build three ghost towers here.

He had already sent people to deliver all kinds of materials for the construction of the ghost towers in advance. He came here personally and waited for Fang Heng eagerly.

Ed also personally participated in the materials. He had just escorted a large batch of supplies into the city and was waiting for Fang Heng to come over to build the mage towers in bulk. He also wanted to ask Fang Heng about the next step of the plan.

There was nothing he could do about it. Even Li Xue's team couldn't understand Fang Heng's game of chess, let alone him. They were really not confident.

"Has Lord Fang Heng woken up?"

"Yes, he's awake. Don't worry. He was just checking the damage to the seal in Lincoln City. He'll come here to build the ghost tower soon after he's done."

"That's good."

Lord Brent waited anxiously.

"Commander Ed."

From afar, a player hurried over and whispered into Ed's ear.

"Ah?"

Ed was subconsciously shocked when he heard that. He asked, "Now?"

The player nodded solemnly with a strange expression.

Lord Brent's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling and asked, "Commander Ed, did something happen?"

"Not really. Lord Fang Heng told us to get ready to build a mage tower. He said that the undead creatures he controlled were already coming here through the teleportation passage. He was worried that they might encounter trouble on the way, so he asked us to go over and receive them."

"Already here? Good! That's great!"

Lord Brent's expression instantly became excited. He immediately waved his hand and said, "I'll get someone to prepare it now! Let's go, we'll ride the griffins to meet them."

The griffins had long been prepared in the square. Lord Brent hurriedly brought a few people with him and they rode on the griffins to receive the guests.

It would take eight minutes to reach the nearest capital city by flying on a griffin. If they walked on land, they would have to go around a mountain, which would take even longer.

Three minutes after they left the city, the breeder who was controlling the griffins noticed an army on the land ahead.

The army was like a black torrent going through the main road and was moving forward quickly.

Lord Brent also saw the army below, and his heart skipped a beat.

What was that? Where did the army come from? Was his territory invaded?

"Let's go closer and take a look."

"Understood."

The breeder controlled the griffins to spiral downwards.

This, this was…

Lord Brent looked down and was shocked.

They were actually undead creatures!

On the passage, the fusion Tyrant forms were wrapped in ropes and dense vines, pulling the huge cart behind them as they ran forward!

The modified three-meter-tall wooden cart behind them was densely packed with zombies!

Vines extended from the zombies and wrapped the ordinary zombies tightly around the cart.

This was the first time Ed had seen such a situation. He could not help but swallow his saliva.

Were those zombies under Fang Heng's control?

Has intelligence evolved to this extent?

It was completely different from what he had imagined!

Ji Yining was riding a warhorse at the back of the zombie crowd. He was barely able to keep up with the stampeding zombies.

Even now, Ji Yining still felt a little surreal.

Everything happened too suddenly.

Ten minutes ago, he had just received the news. Then, a vast number of zombies appeared from the teleportation passage. He hurriedly borrowed some materials from the City Lord.

Soon, the zombies had automatically created a giant cart under his nose in less than five minutes. The fusion Tyrant forms pulled the giant cart and sped towards Ornes City!

Ji Yining was shocked and hurriedly called for a warhorse to give chase.

Seeing the griffins circling in the sky, he quickly waved his hand to signal them.

"Let's go and receive him!"

The griffin swooped down beautifully in the air. When it reached the bottom, a rope was thrown down and Ji Yining used it to climb up the griffin's back.

"My Lord."

Lord Brent nodded and looked down from the griffin. He asked, "Where's Lord Fang Heng?"

"Lord Fang Heng hasn't arrived yet. He's still busy dealing with the plague aura in Lincoln City. He wants us to build the mage tower first. These undead are under his control. They'll be responsible for building the ghost tower for us."

Lord Brent was stunned. He questioned, "Hmm? What did he mean? He's not coming over? These undead creatures can help us complete the construction automatically?"

Ji Yining also felt that this was a little unbelievable. He smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, that's what Lord Fang Heng said."

Lord Brent and sword saint Chepo looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Other than the forbidden spell of resurrection, undead creatures rarely had high intelligence. Moreover, it required a large amount of control.

Previously, he had heard that Lord Fang Heng needed to personally control the undead creatures to build the ghost tower.

After not seeing him for a day, he could let the undead creatures build the ghost tower on their own?

Could it be…

After the battle with the archbishop of the Holy Court last night, was there a huge breakthrough in Fang Heng's ability in the study of necromancy?

What kind of genius was he?

…

[Hint: Your zombie clone is in the process of building-a ghost tower (Tier 1). The current construction will automatically consume the construction materials in the area. If the materials are not available, the relevant process will automatically stop…]

In the mine area, Fang Heng kept trying to control the zombie clones to carry out construction operations from afar through the spiritual link.

Compared to the past, he could now control the zombie clones more precisely, which greatly increased his efficiency.

These were the benefits brought about by the increase in spiritual power.

Fang Heng focused on the optimization, and a line of game notifications appeared.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has received 100 holy attribute damage. Due to the passive skill effect, it has received an additional 560 damage.]

"Eh?"

Fang Heng let out a soft gasp.

"Holy damage? The Holy Court?"

Fang Heng immediately tried to establish a spiritual connection with the zombie clones in the abyssal passage.

There it was!

In the depths of the abyss beneath the ruins!

Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes and nodded to Warre beside him, "Warren, there might be something under the abyss. I'll go in and take a look first."

"Alright, be careful. I'll wait for you here."

Fang Heng turned around, and his figure gradually disappeared into the black fog shrouded by the plague aura.

Once again, Fang Heng relied on his bat form to travel through the ruins and successfully entered the underground abyss.

"Chi chi chi…"

As soon as he stepped into the abyss, several Lickers hiding in the darkness immediately rushed out and gathered around to protect him.

Fang Heng scanned his surroundings, then walked toward the source of the Holy Light power.

1302 Sneeze

They walked straight ahead for about twenty minutes.

The area in front of him gradually narrowed, and faint Holy Light fluctuations came from deep within.

Fang Heng switched the zombie clones and his own attribute to sacred study and continued to command the zombie clones and Lickers to check the situation.

After switching to the sacred study state, the zombie clones would no longer receive Holy Light attribute damage.

After confirming that there was no danger, Fang Heng carefully walked forward.

As he got closer, a faint dark golden light appeared in front of him. The light came from the ground.

It was a large-scale magic array!

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

A large alchemy magic array was carved on the ground.

The golden light on the alchemy array flickered, releasing halos.

[Hint: The player has discovered a special ancient magic array-the abyssal demon seal.]

[Hint: The player's trial score has increased.]

[Hint: The player's current identity is the Saint's successor. You have triggered a special mission-the broken inner seal.]

Mission title: While exploring the seal, you have discovered traces of damage to the abyssal seal. As the Saint's successor, please attempt to investigate the damage to the seal.

Mission difficulty: S

Mission requirement: Check the magic array and confirm the reason why the magic seal was broken.

Mission reward: Additional increase in trial score.

Failure penalty: Trial score reduced, remaining trial time reduced.

Mission time limit: 2 hours

[Hint: In the current trial state, the mission reward and punishment have been changed to trial related.]

Not good!

Looking at the game notification, Fang Heng had a bad feeling and quickly lowered his head to check the seal.

It was very strange.

The alchemy magic array on the ground clearly had nothing to do with the Holy Light, yet it could release powerful Holy Light aura fluctuations.

The energy waves could even cause damage to the surrounding zombie clones.

It was most likely the doing of the Holy Court.

Eh?

The center of the magic array!

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

There was a clear mark in the center of the array.

The marks were very new, and he could confirm that they had been left not long ago.

It was like a sword mark.

The golden Holy Light even filled the entire sword mark.

Fang Heng frowned, feeling as if he had caught hold of something.

He couldn't help but reach out and try to touch the alchemy array, hoping to obtain more information.

"Chi!"

The moment his finger touched the edge of the magic array, he felt an electric current.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and a Saint's legacy rune appeared on his forehead.

[Hint: Your Saint's rune has been triggered.]

[Hint: You have triggered an alchemy rune.]

Not good!

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Fang Heng sensed that the hidden effect of the alchemy array had been triggered. Then, his entire body was absorbed by the space and disappeared.

The surroundings suddenly darkened and lit up again.

Spatial transformation!

Fang Heng's sharp senses sensed that the space around him had become chaotic for a moment.

He must have touched the hidden alchemy rune and caused the space to change.

A game notification appeared on his retina.

[Hint: You have been affected by a spatial spell. Through the omniscient eye, you have comprehended basic spatial science. Players can choose to comprehend basic spatial science.]

Cancel mastering the skill!

With the effect of the omniscient eye, learning skills would be very simple. In order to pursue extreme efficiency, he could first upgrade all his skills to the highest level before learning new ones.

[Hint: The player has temporarily given up on learning basic spatial science.]

Whoosh!

Fang Heng didn't have the time to read the description of basic spatial skills. He noticed that his eyes lit up again and immediately opened his eyes to look down.

He was in mid-air and he was falling down rapidly!

"Chi!"

In mid-air, Fang Heng immediately transformed into his bat form. He flapped his wings to prevent his body from falling while carefully observing his surroundings.

He found himself in a cylindrical passage, which looked like a dry well.

The ground below was covered in a thick black fog, while the ceiling above was constantly emitting a golden Holy Light aura.

He looked up and saw a dense array pattern on the ceiling.

Fang Heng flew up and carefully examined the structure of the alchemy magic array. He immediately understood.

So that was the case.

There was a hidden two-way spatial teleportation channel on the alchemy array.

The abyssal demon was sealed in a special space.

There were seals on the outer layer and inner layer of the space.

The teleportation passage was a backdoor left behind by the Saints when they were repairing the seal inside the space while building the alchemy seal. Under normal circumstances, only Saints and successors could enter.

He should be able to leave this place with the help of the teleportation magic array above.

After confirming his escape route, Fang Heng felt a little more at ease. He lowered his head again and looked down at the area shrouded in thick fog.

The abyssal demon was right below the abyss. This was also the closest he had ever gotten to the abyssal demon!

Judging from the difficulty of the mission, it was only S-level. The difficulty wasn't high. He could take the risk and give it a try!

Since he was already here, he wanted to see what the abyssal demon looked like!

Fang Heng raised his guard and slowly flew down.

The abyssal passage was deeper than he had expected. He flew all the way down for about ten minutes before he sensed a terrifying aura coming from below.

The abyssal demon!

After flying for half an hour, Fang Heng could vaguely see the monster below.

Most of its body was enveloped in a thick black plague aura, making it impossible to see it clearly or describe it.

At first glance, it looked like a mass of black wriggling rotting flesh. Countless thick metal chains extended from the surrounding walls, piercing through the layers of rotten flesh and nailing it to the ground. There were fine patterns on the metal chain.

The rotting flesh seemed to have a life of its own as it slowly squirmed and breathed in and out. With every breath, a large amount of plague aura overflowed from its body!

The plague aura was actually exhaled by the abyssal demon?

Fang Heng was surprised and sized it up in midair. It seemed that the abyssal demon was still sealed and unable to move.

This was good news for him.

Should he take advantage of the fact that it had yet to break free from the seal to launch an attack and destroy it in one fell swoop?

Fang Heng pondered.

Seeing that the mission notification still did not come, he hesitated about whether he should continue exploring.

Just as he was hesitating, Fang Heng suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. The carrion lifeform beneath him suddenly contracted as if it was sneezing!

Not good!

"Boom!"

The plague aura suddenly erupted and the rich aura assaulted him!

Fang Heng frowned. Before he could escape, a violent force charged at him and lifted him higher!

[Hint: You have received the effect of the skill-plague aura.]

[Hint: Due to the special skill effect, you are immune to the plague aura attack effect.]

In his bat form, Fang Heng spun dozens of times in the air before regaining his balance. He flapped his wings to keep his body suspended in the air.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Fang Heng's forehead. Fortunately, it was the attack of the plague aura. Otherwise, he would have died.

The negative effect of the glass cannon skill was too dangerous. The Boss could kill him with any casual skill.

1303 Remnant Chapter

To be safe, it was better to give up the mission.

It was just a normal mission. Even if he gave up, the final trial score would not be much lower. As long as he could kill the abyssal demon in the end, it would not be a problem for him to obtain the SSS-level trial reward.

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Heng was about to leave when his sea of consciousness was suddenly triggered again!

Fang Heng sensed something, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly lowered his head and looked down at the area covered in the black fog of the plague aura.

What was going on?

Fang Heng was extremely surprised.

It turned out to be a spiritual perception construction!

When the sacred tree Abe Akaya was just born, he had a similar spiritual perception construction.

This time, it also appeared!

And the source of his perception was the abyssal demon!

To be precise, it was not considered a spiritual perception construction. This kind of construction was of a lower level than normal perception construction, and it was more like an emotional perception.

It was very hazy.

The abyssal demon was releasing a painful emotion.

Was it asking for help?

Fang Heng frowned.

Perhaps this was a special ability that he could only obtain after his spirit power had increased to a certain level.

Even though he couldn't see anything under the thick black fog, Fang Heng still stared at the black fog.

His brain was working rapidly.

At the very least, he could not sense any hostility from the abyssal demon.

The emotions transmitted by the abyssal demon were not clear. Fang Heng felt that they were living beings that had just gained consciousness.

Hmm? That's right!

Suddenly, a thought arose in Fang Heng's mind.

Could it be because he also had the effect of the virus? So this made the abyssal demon think that he was one of them?

Fang Heng's heart started to beat faster.

It was very possible!

Otherwise, why would the abyssal demon take the initiative to release pain and ask for help?

The more he thought about it, the more Fang Heng was convinced of this idea.

He tried to establish a deeper spirit construction with the abyssal demon, or he wanted to convey some emotional spiritual perception to them.

It was a pity.

Perhaps it was because his spirit power was not enough, he could not do it after trying a few times.

No way.

He couldn't give up such a good opportunity.

Let's try again!

Fang Heng gave up on the idea of escaping and once again flapped his wings to fly down.

This time, the abyssal demon did not continue to attack.

As he went deeper using his perception, what he sensed from the abyssal demon grew stronger.

Fang Heng remained extremely vigilant. He did not approach the abyssal demon immediately. Instead, he observed from afar.

"That is…"

Soon, Fang Heng noticed something unusual.

Under the thick fog, circles of dark golden light were emitted from a corner on the right side of the abyss.

The holy aura fluctuated!

As expected, the abnormal activity here was related to the Holy Court!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately flew toward the direction of the wave.

After flying closer to observe, Fang Heng noticed that a huge sharp sword had stabbed into the body of the abyssal demon.

The sword was surrounded by a layer of golden light.

The light was constantly dispelling the plague aura around them.

At the same time, the long sword was affected by the corrosive effect, and a black aura kept seeping out of the golden long sword.

The pain of the abyssal demon came from this long sword.

Fang Heng returned to his human form and jumped down from the sky. He stood on the rotten flesh of the abyssal demon.

The abyssal demon still did not react.

Fang Heng became bolder and went closer to the sword to observe.

The long sword pierced through the body of the abyssal demon and nailed it to the ground.

So what should he do next?

Help him?

Fang Heng was puzzled. He tried to reach out his hand and slowly approach the sword, gently touching it.

[Hint: Player attempted to obtain the item: Arbitrator-Unsealed light holy sword.]

[Hint: The player has mastered sacred study. After passing the acquisition check, the item can be obtained.]

[Hint: This item is a special item. Its durability needs to be restored through a special method.]

[Item: Arbiter-Unsealed light holy sword (Durability: 411/1000).]

Description: A long sword used by the Holy Court for sacrifices. It has the effect of breaking seals (deals additional 200% damage to seals and shields).

Description: Endowed with the power of the Book of Oaths, it can deal a large amount of damage to the abyssal demon and temporarily seal it, absorbing a portion of the power of the demonic seed.

Good stuff!

There was still such a harvest?

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

That was why he could take this thing with him!

Fang Heng was delighted. He was about to try to snatch the sword and put it in his backpack when his hand reached out in the air, and a faint light suddenly appeared between his fingers.

The game prompt appeared on his retina again.

[Hint: An item has been detected in the player's backpack-Book of Oaths (remnant chapter). The item has resonated with the Book of Oaths.]

Eh? Remnant chapter!

Resonance?

Fang Heng immediately thought of the incomplete seal with an unknown effect that had dropped after killing the archbishop of the Holy Court, Karkkila. With a flick of his wrist, he took out the sealed incomplete seal from his backpack.

Buzz…

The remnant chapter was just a thin page.

The page emitted a dark golden light and flew towards the long sword, sticking to the hilt.

"Boom!"

A golden light suddenly erupted from the long sword!

Under the power of the golden Holy Light, Fang Heng felt that the abyssal demon under his feet seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and it trembled crazily again!

Damn it!

Fang Heng quickly transformed into his bat form and left.

[Hint: You have temporarily fused the Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) and the arbitrator-Light of Seal Breaking]

[Hint: Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) is absorbing the power of the demonic seed.]

The sudden change made Fang Heng a little confused, so he observed from a distance.

As the golden light erupted, the remnant of the Book of Oaths on the long sword quickly dimmed!

The abyssal demon's struggles also became weaker and weaker.

In just a short moment, the broken seal that was originally emitting a dark golden light had completely turned black.

What was going on?

"Pa…"

The broken chapter lost its power and fell from the sword.

Fang Heng felt puzzled and flew over again. He returned to his human form and held the broken chapter in his hand.

[Hint: Player has obtained an item-Book of Oaths (remnant chapter)(Absorbed unknown energy body)(To be purified).]

What did he mean?

Fang Heng read the description of the Book of Oaths and frowned.

From the literal analysis, could it be that the Book of Oaths had absorbed the power of the demonic seed?

After absorbing it, the power could still be purified by the Holy Court.

Fang Heng looked at the abyssal demon under his feet suspiciously.

The abyssal demon seemed to have been greatly stimulated just now, but it was still alive and kicking now. It did not seem to have been injured at all.

"I don't care! I'll check it when I get back."

Fang Heng thought and put the black seal fragment back into his backpack, raised his head, and continued to hold the dark golden long sword tightly.

"Tsk!"

With a sudden force, Fang Heng pulled the long sword out of the abyssal demon's body!

What the hell!

Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Not good!

The moment he drew his sword, a thick black aura gushed out from the abyssal demon's wound!

The injured abyssal demon trembled uncontrollably!

1304 Drawing

"Clang! Clang!"

The chains in the entire abyss shook crazily, and they kept making clanging sounds.

Fang Heng realized that something was wrong. He grabbed his long sword and stuffed it back into his backpack before flying into the air again.

[Hint: The player has obtained an item: arbitrator-unsealed light holy sword.]

Fang Heng only looked down when he arrived at the safe area.

The abyssal demon became irritable again. It kept struggling under the chains.

Fang Heng sensed pain from the abyssal demon's emotions and its will to break free from the iron chains.

As it struggled, a thick black plague aura kept coming out of the abyssal demon's body.

[Hint: The player completed the mission-abyssal demon's seal. The player's trial score has increased.]

Fang Heng's body suddenly froze, and he felt his forehead slightly hot.

Then, two blood-red game hints appeared.

[Warning: Detected that player currently has the Saint's heritage.]

[Warning: The abyssal demon has entered the awakening stage after being stimulated by an external force. It is breaking through the seal left behind by the Saint. Estimated time remaining: 125 hours and 43 minutes (This duration is an estimate and may change due to certain events and mission changes).]

Damn it!

The Holy Court!

Fang Heng gritted his teeth.

When he saw the game hints, he finally understood.

It was obvious that all of this was done by the Holy Court.

It was as if a nail had been pierced into a tire, and the tire would slowly leak air.

If the nail was suddenly pulled out, the speed of air leakage would increase greatly!

The long sword left behind by the Holy Court was a nail that could cause damage to the abyssal demon!

The nail that pierced into the abyssal demon woke it up!

In the beginning, the abyssal demon was suppressed by the nails and the seal and could not move. However, once the nails' power disappeared, the abyssal demon would definitely go berserk!

This was all part of the Holy Court's scheme.

If not for the fact that the player had coincidentally discovered the Holy Court's operation last night, and he had set up a few traps in succession, according to the original plan of the Holy Court, the Holy Court would have run far away after the attack. When the plague aura completely exploded two days later, he would have become the scapegoat!

On the other hand, when he pulled out his long sword, it allowed the abyssal demon to break free in advance.

"Tsk."

Fang Heng sneered disdainfully.

The Holy Court was a symbol of trouble. Even if they perished, they would still bring him some trouble.

Without the influence of external forces, there were still five days left before the abyssal demon broke the seal.

It was about the same time as his original plan.

In mid-air, Fang Heng narrowed his eyes as he looked down, his brain working rapidly.

Should he find an opportunity to stab the long sword in again and buy some time for everything to return to its original state?

Forget it.

Fang Heng quickly dismissed this thought.

It was not easy to establish a little connection with the abyssal demon. At least, the abyssal demon was not hostile to him now. If he provoked the abyssal demon again, wouldn't he be courting death?

He would maintain the original state for the time being.

Fang Heng stared at the abyssal demon, his heart in a dilemma again.

No…The abyssal demon was right in front of him, and he was going to leave just like that?

It wasn't easy for him to come across such a good opportunity. Based on his nature, shouldn't he take a wave of live samples back?

However, there was a chance that taking a living sample would arouse the hostility of the abyssal demon, destroying the weak favorable impression that he had painstakingly built up. It might even infuriate the abyssal demon and kill him directly!

On the other hand, if he could get a live sample for Qiu Yaokang to study…

With Qiu Yaokang's ability, he could analyze a lot of experimental data from living samples. Perhaps he could develop a drug that could be used against the abyssal demon!

Tsk! He was going all out!

Success or failure, there was only a 50% chance.

If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to sleep for several nights.

Fang Heng made a decision and flew down carefully. He found a corner and returned to his human form.

He observed the abyssal demon struggling wildly from afar and slowly walked toward it.

"Brother, I'm taking a sample from you. You should be able to understand. This is for your own good. I can think of a way to help you escape from this shackle. Such a small syringe won't hurt you…"

Fang Heng did not care whether the abyssal demon understood him or not. He spoke in a low voice, took out a live sample collector from his backpack, and approached the demon carefully, step by step.

"Chi!"

The needle easily pierced into the body of the abyssal demon.

A long loading bar appeared above Fang Heng's head.

After being pierced by the needle, the skin of the abyssal demon that was pierced only twisted slightly before quickly returning to its original state.

"Success!"

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Perhaps because the needle was too small, the abyssal demon did not feel any pain at all, nor did it react to Fang Heng. It was still trying to break free from the metal chains.

Fang Heng controlled it carefully until the long loading bar ended.

A game hint appeared.

[Hint: The player has obtained a special item-live sample of the abyssal demon.]

[Item: A live sample of the abyssal demon.]

Description: Strange object.

Description: The effect of this item is unknown. It has great research value. Some scholars are willing to buy it at a high price.

Description: This item can be used as special spellcasting materials.

Description: This item has an unknown activity effect.

Description: This item is highly infectious.

[Warning: This item is extremely dangerous.]

Fang Heng's eyes lit up when he saw the description of the sample's attributes.

Buy it at a high price?

Money?!

After all, it was a live sample of the final BOSS in the intermediate game. Ordinary people would be turned into ashes by the plague breath if they got close, let alone come into contact with it!

How could this thing be worthless?!

Thinking of this, Fang Heng could not help but gulp.

He was originally prepared to take a tube of samples and leave, but when he saw that the live sample was so valuable, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes again.

"Brother, you don't mind drawing a few more tubes of medicine, right? You also hope to break free from this shackle as soon as possible, right? For the sake of science, it's not difficult to donate a little live sample, right…"

Fang Heng whispered and took out a new sample collector from his backpack.

…

"Fang Heng, how's the situation down there?"

Outside the cave, Warren immediately walked up to Fang Heng when he saw him walk out of the black plague.

He had just felt the Saint's inheritance mark on his forehead fluctuates violently.

There must be a problem with the seal below!

"Hmm, the situation is not good. I just entered the abyss and found the seal of the abyssal demon left behind by the Saint. I even triggered the seal to enter the lower level to see the abyssal demon."

"What? You saw it?"

"Yes, the seal has been destroyed by the Holy Court. The Holy Court has also awakened the abyssal demon. It's still trapped by the Saint's seal for the time being, but it'll recover soon."

1305 All in One Stake

Warren's heart sank.

The awakening of the abyssal demon was too sudden!

"How much time do we have?"

Fang Heng glanced in the direction where the plague aura was leaking and said in a deep voice, "If we continue at this rate and with no external power interfering, we have about five more days."

Warren's expression changed several times.

In just five days?

There was really too little they could do in such a short time.

At most, he would set up a small control-type alchemy magic array around the area.

Warren knew very well that the alchemy magic array that he had rushed to make had very little restriction on the abyssal demon. It could easily crush them with a slap.

What should he do?

Warren felt his throat dry up. He looked up at Fang Heng and saw that Fang Heng's expression was grave. He could not help but sigh in his heart.

Fang Heng was also under too much pressure.

At this point, he could only do his best and leave it to fate.

Fang Heng did not pay much attention to Warren's expression. He was stroking his chin and thinking carefully.

The mission was very difficult, the time was very tight, and the chances of winning were not high.

However, it was not the endgame.

He also had a trump card.

What he needed to consider now was how to link up his trump cards to maximize the effect.

Just as he was thinking, Fang Heng heard the cry of griffins coming from high up in the sky.

The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time.

Above them, two royal guards jumped down from the backs of the griffins that were circling in the sky. They came to Fang Heng and reported on one knee, "Lord Fang Heng, Her Highness Mingyue has summoned you urgently. She hopes that you can return to Hani City as soon as possible. It's a rather urgent matter."

"Hmm? Did she say why?"

"Yes, we received news that Tang Wu has gathered a large number of the Empire's elites and is heading toward Hani City. Commander Ed has also confirmed that the royal guards and a large number of the Empire's soldiers have been mobilized. Their destination is very likely to be Hani City. We believe that they might make a move on the sacred tree in the Land of Plague."

This was troublesome!

The abyssal demon was about to break free from the seal, but Tang Wu was pulling all sorts of tricks to complicate matters for him.

Fang Heng was speechless.

However, since it had already happened, he had to find a way to resolve it.

It just so happened that he was going to return to the Land of Plague to give Qiu Yaokang the live sample of the abyssal demon he had just obtained.

"I understand. I'll be there soon."

"Yes, My Lord!"

Fang Heng nodded and looked at Warren. He said, "You must watch the seal. Don't let anyone get close. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, don't worry. I'll be here."

…

In the capital of the Empire, the royal guards led by Xiao Yun were making the final preparations before setting off.

The president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, walked towards Xiao Yun with a few people.

Xiao Yun didn't like Ovian very much. His face was cold and his displeasure was written all over his face. He asked, "How is it? Is everything ready? Don't make another mistake."

"Of course."

The president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, was as confident as ever. He said, "Just do your job and leave the sacred tree to me. This is a method I found in an ancient book. It can restrain all field spells. Once the alchemy magic array is completed, any field spells will dissipate. As for Fang Heng, I'll leave him to you."

"You don't have to worry about the rest. As long as you can destroy the sacred tree, heh, it's just a mere Land of Plague."

Xiao Yun mocked.

His gaze swept across everyone behind him.

Tang Wu had used all his trump cards in this ambush!

Apart from the Alchemy Society, the accompanying team also had the elite private army that Tang Wu had gathered for many years, as well as the soldiers recruited from the various feudal lords, and the Holy Paladins and judges sent by the Holy Court to support them.

Even the Empire's sword saint Chepo was persuaded by Tang Wu and agreed to join his team to deal with the Land of Plague.

What was left was the biggest trump card of this trip.

Xiao Yun said in a deep voice, "Please welcome the Council of Elders!"

Gernot, the consul, walked forward under the escort of the soldiers and said in a clear voice, "The holy artifact, please!"

"Yes, sir!"

Behind them, more than ten Empire soldiers worked together to carry out a huge wooden box that had been sealed for a long time.

Xiao Yun stared at the wooden box, his eyes shining.

Sealed in the wooden box was the dragon-suppressing holy artifact passed down by the ancestors of the Empire!

The sealed holy weapon had always been stored with the Empire's Council of Elders.

Because it was too dangerous, the terrifying strength created by the holy weapon would even cause great damage to the person who used it. It was against the heavens, so the former king had ordered it to be sealed and never used.

This time, because of Fang Heng, Tang Wu and the Council of Elders chose to take out the dragon-suppressing holy artifact as well.

Ding Shixiu, who was beside Xiao Yun, also took a deep breath.

In less than a day, Tang Wu's reputation among the feudal lords of the Empire had plummeted. On the other hand, Tang Mingyue's popularity increased.

Tang Wu was already in a complete mess.

He desperately needed a victory to prove himself.

He had already put all his eggs in one basket!

Gather all the strength in order to break through Hani City in one fell swoop!

How could Ding Shixiu not know the crisis Tang Wu was facing?

Feeling helpless, Tang Wu made another extremely risky choice.

Ding Shixiu didn't think that these people alone could exterminate the Land of Plague.

Now, all hope was attributed to the dragon-suppressing holy artifact.

There was a chance! There would definitely be a chance!

…

At the same time, Fang Heng had just rushed back to Hani City through the ghost tower's teleportation passage.

"Lord Fang Heng."

The royal guards were already waiting outside the mage tower to welcome them and say, "Her Highness Mingyue has just gone to the basement. She instructed us to bring you there. Please follow us."

"Alright, let's go."

There was a secret underground area under the City Lord's mansion in Hani City.

Fang Heng followed the soldiers into the City Lord's mansion. As soon as he entered the underground passage, he felt a spiritual power fluctuation coming from afar.

Soon, Fang Heng arrived at the underground hall that had been temporarily requisitioned.

A massive magic array was carved on the floor, covering almost two-thirds of the hall.

The high-tier mages from the Mage Association gathered in a big circle, concentrating their spiritual power to control the magic array.

Under Tang Mingyue's tremendous spiritual power, many magic core crystals condensed in the center of the magic array.

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

Amazing!

Tang Mingyue was refining a magic core!

"Phew!"

The magic array slowly stopped operating.

Tang Mingyue noticed the person who came and stopped pouring her spiritual power. She took a deep breath and maintained her calm and indifferent appearance.

"Lord Fang Heng, you're finally back. I have something to discuss with you."

Tang Mingyue waved her hand, signaling the guards to leave with the mages of the Mage Association.

"Everyone has worked hard. Guards, take the distinguished guests of the Mage Association to rest first. We will continue tomorrow. "

After everyone left, Tang Mingyue stared at Fang Heng for a long time as if she wanted to study him thoroughly.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you mean? You really killed the archbishop of the Holy Court? How did you do it?"

"Oh…" Fang Heng recalled the process of killing Karkkila and broke out in a cold sweat. He nodded and said, "I admit that I have a thing for gambling…"

1306 Batches

"Get lost!"

Tang Mingyue was in a bad mood.

She realized that the gap between people was still a little big.

When they parted last night, she thought that Fang Heng was just casually saying that he was going to kill the archbishop of the Holy Court.

Who would have thought that he was serious and really did it?

With such terrifying strength, it was no wonder that he could control the entire world of the vampire's region in such a short period of time.

Sigh, as a World Lord, he still had to compete with such a person.

He was really tired.

If he couldn't win, he would just lie flat.

He should just take advantage of this trial to earn more money.

Fang Heng did not notice the change in Tang Mingyue's expression. He was focused on the magic array behind her.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Tang Mingyue as a portable charger was too reliable!

A reliable teammate 1!

With the help of the Mage Association, only a small portion of the materials exchanged from Tang Wu had been consumed. The completed magic cores had already filled half a box. At this rate, the plan to build the ghost tower in batches would not be a problem at all!

Coupled with the increase in his mental power, the speed at which he controlled the zombie clones to build the ghost tower increased greatly.

Five days were enough to complete batches of ghost towers!

"Is it still difficult to mass-produce magic cores? How many finished products do you expect to have after all these materials are produced?"

Tang Mingyue came back to her senses. She decided not to think about anything else and focused on finishing this.

"Yes, about 500 to 600. The success rate of crafting the magic core is much higher than expected. I've talked to the president of the Mage Association. Perhaps the mages of the Mage Association in the past did not have enough mental strength to fully activate the elemental crystal transformation, resulting in the low success rate of crafting."

"With the support of the demonic seed, it's not difficult to mass-produce magic cores. I still have other things to ask you to come over."

Fang Heng picked up the magic core that had just been made and observed it in his hand. He nodded and said, "Yes, 500 is more than enough. Please continue."

"It's related to Tang Wu. Just now, Ed received a message from the players saying that the royal guards in the capital of the Empire are gathering their forces and heading towards Hani City. Ed hinted to me that the offline players have determined that Tang Wu wants to make a move on the sacred tree in the Land of Plague."

"Oh?"

Fang Heng was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and put the magic core into his backpack. He asked, "Tang Wu has the ability to deal with the sacred tree?"

"I'm not sure, but we can't let our guard down. The death of the archbishop of the Holy Court has a huge impact on Tang Wu. More and more feudal lords are inclined to pledge allegiance to me. This will definitely make Tang Wu feel a great sense of danger. Li Xue's team collected a lot of information and even simulated Tang Wu's personality. They think that he's too ambitious and has limited patience. It's very likely that he'll choose to stake everything on it and destroy the Land of Plague at all costs."

"The prerequisite to dealing with the Land of Plague is to deal with the sacred tree."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

Tang Wu wanted to attack the sacred tree.

He didn't believe that Tang Wu would come here without any preparation. Even if Tang Wu was willing to die, his men would be willing to do the same.

Then what was Tang Wu's trump card?

"Are there any other relevant clues?"

Tang Mingyue shook her head and said, "Not for now. Ed and the others are still trying to get into the royal guards' team and waiting for their news."

"Yes, continue to keep watch."

Fang Heng nodded and turned his attention to the sacred tree, Abe Akaya.

At present, the sacred tree was still in its growth period. When it absorbed more energy than a certain amount, it could evolve again and its strength could increase again.

Right, speaking of which, he had asked Ed's team to get a large number of resources for the enlightenment stone replica.

With Ed's efficiency, this matter should be almost completed.

When he asked Tang Mingyue about this, she gave Fang Heng a speechless look.

"You remember? Can you ask me to help you infuse mental energy into the alchemy array to refine the magic core? And the result? I've been waiting for half a day, but your zombies are gone."

"Uh…"

Fang Heng scratched his head.

Previously, he seemed to have urgently recruited a wave of zombie clones to carry out the mining work, and then he seized the time to set up the ghost tower in the Empire. He had really forgotten about this.

Tang Mingyue said helplessly, "Your alchemy magic arrays are still in the Land of Plague. The large number of refining materials that Ed's team sent over are also temporarily piled around the Land of Plague. The mercenary group leader responsible for the transportation of materials has come to look for me several times."

Fang Heng apologized, "Mine, mine. I was too busy and forgot. Do you have enough supplies?"

"Too many!" Tang Mingyue nodded.

That was great!

Fang Heng clenched his fists and looked at Tang Mingyue with a burning gaze.

With the materials and the power of the high-power portable charger, Tang Mingyue, and the zombie clone, he could quickly complete a large number of enlightenment stone replicas in a very short time.

It was only a matter of time before the sacred tree passed its growth period!

"Thank you for your hard work. We'll set off now and return to the Land of Plague to start refining."

Tang Mingyue looked at Fang Heng and gritted her teeth. She said, "You have to pay more to me!"

…

In the Land of Plague, it was Tang Mingyue's first time witnessing how Fang Heng used the power of the zombie clones to carry out mass operations.

The vines of the sacred tree first cleared a large open space. Then, Fang Heng stood in the middle of the open space and began to draw a magic array. Hundreds of zombie clones followed him forward and chose an area to set up an alchemy magic array.

Tang Mingyue watched as loading bars appeared above the zombie clone's head.

Some failed, and some succeeded.

After an hour, the ground was covered with a layer of magic arrays and materials.

Fang Heng checked the central alchemy magic array that he had just drawn and nodded at Tang Mingyue. He asked, "Are you ready?"

Tang Mingyue looked at Fang Heng. She really wanted to ask Fang Heng if there was a need to make such a big fuss.

Seeing that Tang Mingyue did not answer, Fang Heng patiently explained again, "It's actually very simple. Just pour your mental power into the alchemy array I set up. When I say stop, stop."

Tang Mingyue was even more speechless.

Am I stupid?

This was not the main point!

Looking at Fang Heng's expectant gaze, Tang Mingyue sighed in her heart and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Looking at such a large magic array, Tang Mingyue also felt the pressure. She took a deep breath and focused. She slowly closed her eyes and raised her scepter.

"Weng…"

A light blue spiritual force visible to the naked eye flowed out of the scepter in front of Tang Mingyue.

In the center of the ground, the magic array that Fang Heng had personally made was operating quickly, absorbing the spiritual power released by Tang Mingyue.

"Swoosh, swoosh…"

The small magic arrays set up by the zombie clones on the ground lit up one after another.

The magic array drawn by Fang Heng was like a central processor, distributing the absorbed mental energy to the surrounding small alchemy magic arrays.

1307 Specialization

Success!

The change in color of the central alchemy magic array was an indicator of the completion of the charge.

Fang Heng glanced at the 'mobile charger' beside him and immediately gave the order to control the zombie clones to start refining the alchemy magic array that had finished charging.

Once again, the channeling bar appeared above the zombie clone's head.

The magic array was activated one after another, and they began to operate rapidly.

The materials were absorbed by the magic array, and the enlightenment stone replica was released from the magic array.

The vines of the sacred tree Abe Akaya that had gathered around them felt the power fluctuations of the enlightenment stone and were overjoyed. The vines subconsciously danced and slowly approached the surroundings.

Without receiving Fang Heng's permission, the vines only entrenched themselves in the periphery.

Abe Akaya kept transmitting its desire to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng nodded and whispered, "That's right, Abe Akaya. These are all prepared for you."

"Chi chi chi…"

With Fang Heng's permission, the surrounding vines spread toward the enlightenment stone replica and instantly wrapped around the replica that was released from the alchemy magic array and dragged it underground!

[Hint: The sacred tree Abe Akaya has absorbed a special energy of medium concentration…]

Lines of game prompts appeared in Fang Heng's vision.

Fang Heng felt Abe Akaya's extreme happiness through their spiritual connection. The sacred tree even took the initiative to help continuously transport the raw materials for the replica from the outside world using vines.

The materials needed to make the replica were constantly replenished, and the magic array was continuously recharged by Tang Mingyue's spiritual power, running again and again.

Fang Heng and the sacred tree Abe Akaya stood at the side and watched Tang Mingyue, the high-grade battery, continuously supplying power.

This went on for nearly ten minutes. Tang Mingyue also felt that her spiritual power was insufficient. She felt weak and was about to stop to rest for a while when she heard Fang Heng say, "Mingyue, stop for a while."

Tang Mingyue, who had been closing her eyes and releasing her spiritual power, finally opened her eyes.

Eh? What was going on?

"Chi chi chi…"

The branches of the sacred tree were trembling slightly, and they were constantly blooming with light green stars.

The stars fell on Tang Mingyue's body and swept away her fatigue.

The game prompt appeared on Fang Heng's retina again.

[Hint: The player is obtaining information about the sacred tree.]

[Hint: The sacred tree has absorbed sufficient energy to meet the requirements for the next stage of evolution.]

[Hint: The sacred tree Abe Akaya's current fusion evolution specialization: None].

[Warning: Player can choose to give up on mastery. Abandoning mastery will greatly reduce the overall ability of Abe Akaya.]

Fang Heng frowned.

'Choose to specialize in evolution?' What was this?

"Chi chi chi…"

Just as he was puzzled, several vines of the sacred tree extended toward him.

"You mean I have it?"

Fang Heng tried to sense the spiritual perception coming from Abe Akaya's body.

There was something that Abe Akaya wanted in the backpack?

What was it?

Before entering the trial, Fang Heng had emptied his backpack once. There were not many items inside.

Fang Heng simply took out the items in his backpack one by one and showed them to Abe Akaya.

When he found a yellowed piece of paper, he immediately reacted!

The vines were like predators that had smelled the fishy smell, and they frantically gathered toward the paper.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He held the paper in his hand and observed it.

[Item-The Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) that has absorbed the plague aura.]

[Description: One of the remnant chapters of the Book of Oaths. It contains part of the Holy Light attribute power.]

[Description: This remnant page has absorbed a large amount of the foul aura. You can try to remove the foul aura.]

[Description: Unable to activate due to lack of relevant conditions.]

The vines danced around him. Abe Akaya was very interested in this remnant chapter and kept asking Fang Heng through its consciousness if it could devour it.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that when he first obtained the remnant page of the Book of Oaths, there was no description of the foul aura. It should have happened after absorbing a portion of the abyssal demon's power in the underground abyss.

"Hmm, alright, you can absorb it."

Since the game hints weren't clear, he didn't have the time to figure out the specific use of the remnant chapter. He might as well let Abe Akaya absorb it first.

"Chi chi chi!!"

After receiving the order, the vines immediately gathered and wrapped around the Book of Oaths, dragging it underground.

The game notification quickly appeared.

[Hint: The sacred tree Abe Akaya has absorbed the Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) that absorbed an unknown aura, unlocking the evolution specialization option-Tree of Light.]

[Hint: You need to absorb similar energy (27/10,000).]

[Hint: The sacred tree Abe Akaya has absorbed a portion of an unknown aura and unlocked the evolution specialization option-Power of Foulness.]

[Hint: You need to absorb similar energy (325/10,000).]

Filth and light?

Fang Heng looked at the game notification, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Was it a hint?

Fang Heng seemed to have caught onto something, and the flashes of light in his mind gradually formed a line.

The Book of Oaths' remnant chapter had absorbed a portion of the abyssal demon's energy by fusing with the unsealed light holy sword, and this energy was coincidentally absorbed by the sacred tree!

In fact, the sacred tree Abe Akaya had always been able to absorb blood and energy.

From the beginning, it absorbed the power of blood, flesh, and bones, and then it could absorb the enlightenment stone to achieve rapid growth.

He did not expect that it could even absorb the holy aura and the plague aura!

However, something wasn't quite right.

This was not the first time the sacred tree had come into contact with the plague aura. Why was it unable to absorb it before?

Moreover, if it was holy energy, there was more than one piece of equipment related to holy energy on him. Why did it not react to the other equipment?

Fang Heng could not help but check the game log again.

Was it because of the special effect of the Book of Oaths?

Fang Heng tried to make a reasonable guess.

Could it be that the Book of Oaths transformed the power of the abyssal demon into another form?

Perhaps the Holy Court had some kind of energy that could purify the power converted by the Book of Oaths, allowing the Book of Oaths to regain its effect.

In that case, if everything was as he had guessed…

Thinking of this, Fang Heng's heart could not help but beat faster. He immediately communicated with Abe Akaya again and asked the sacred tree if it could simply absorb the Power of Foulness and retain the remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths.

Abe Akaya immediately replied.

Sure.

However, it could no longer spit out the Book of Oaths that it had just absorbed.

Fang Heng became excited after receiving the sacred tree's confirmation.

Yes! It really could!

The way to verify his guess was very simple. He had to find another remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths!

Then, he would test it again!

Fang Heng immediately turned to look at Tang Mingyue and asked, "Mingyue, did you see any information about the Book of Oaths when you checked the information previously?"

"Book of Oaths? Is it related to the Holy Court?"

"Yes, you remember?"

1308 The Great Battle Is Near

Tang Mingyue lowered her head and recalled carefully, "Yes, I have some impression of it. The Book of Oaths is a sacred object of the Holy Court. Theoretically, it should be stored in the Holy Court's headquarters. There's news that the Book of Oaths is one of the Holy Court's holy weapons on this continent. It hides an extremely powerful ability. The Holy Court can use the strength of the Book of Oaths to connect to the holy realm."

Connecting to the holy realm?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

It shouldn't be to that extent.

If it could really connect to the holy realm, the Holy Court would not have been suppressed by the royal family for so many years and could not develop.

Regardless of whether the Book of Oaths belonged to the holy realm's domain or not, he could now confirm that the Book of Oaths did not only contain a page of the remnant chapter. It was very likely that the rest of the pages of the Book of Oaths had been left in the Holy Court.

There was hope!

Fang Heng could not help but rub his fists.

If everything went smoothly, he would think of a way to obtain the Book of Oaths and use the remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths to continuously absorb strength from the abyssal demon. At that time, not only would he be able to weaken the abyssal demon, but he would also be able to continuously increase the power of the sacred tree, allowing it to quickly enter the next stage!

A win-win situation!

"Mingyue, help me contact Ed's team. I need to know everything about the Book of Oaths. The more, the better."

Tang Mingyue nodded when she saw Fang Heng's serious expression and replied, "Okay, I'll hint to them now and get Ed's offline team to start investigating immediately."

"Inform me immediately if there's any news. Leave the rest of the materials for now. We'll go back."

Fang Heng nodded and left with Tang Mingyue.

He could temporarily stop making the enlightenment stone replica. He would first give the plague aura to Qiu Yaokang to study. Qiu Yaokang should be able to make more discoveries.

…

The abyssal demon had awakened and was struggling to break free from the seal left behind by the Saints. However, most people did not know about this.

The night gradually fell.

In the wilderness, the royal guards led by Xiao Yun were approaching the outskirts of Hani City.

Looking at the vine forest that was gradually revealed in the distance, Xiao Yun's expression was unusually solemn.

Compared to last time, the area covered by the vines had clearly expanded.

"The sacred tree…"

Xiao Yun muttered to himself.

The team slowly stopped moving forward.

Xiao Yun looked at the people from the Alchemy Society who were slowly walking towards him and said in a deep voice, "Ovian, we've arrived. The sacred tree area is right in front of us. You can move now."

Overlooking the forest that was surrounded by layers of green vines in the distance, Ovian's eyes also flashed with surprise.

He had always heard that there was a sacred tree in the Land of Plague that Fang Heng had summoned through field magic.

The sacred tree was extremely powerful. It could even break through the entire Hani City in just half an hour.

This was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

There was actually someone who could control such a large area of magic?

How terrifying was Fang Heng's spiritual power?

No, it was impossible for anyone to do it!

Unless he borrowed the strength of some kind of holy weapon.

If he killed Fang Heng and seized the holy weapon in his hand…

Seeing that Ovian was silent, Xiao Yun was a little impatient. He frowned and asked, "How is it? Any other questions?"

Ovian came back to his senses and nodded, "I need to set up an alchemy magic array. I don't want to be disturbed during the process."

Xiao Yun coldly said, "You can start now. No one will disturb you. Unless I die."

Ovian raised his hand and gestured. More than twenty high-level members of the Alchemy Society behind him walked forward one after another and gathered in a circle to set up the alchemy array.

Xiao Yun also called his assistant over and whispered a few words into his ear.

"Yes, Grand Commander."

The deputy left in a hurry after receiving the order.

Xiao Yun slowly turned around and looked into the depths of the forest, his gaze becoming colder.

In the dark, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at this team.

From the moment the Empire's team set off, Li Xue's team sent out hundreds of players to scout for information. Many of the scouts had even followed them to the outskirts of Hani City.

Every move of Xiao Yun's team was under the control of the players.

"Commander Ed, that's the president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian. They're already setting up the magic array. This is a good opportunity. Should we make a move?"

"There's no hurry. Let's wait and observe."

On a hillside shrouded in vines, Ed raised his binoculars to observe the enemy.

The Empire had come in a menacing manner this time. According to the latest information from Li Xue, other than the royal guards, the Alchemy Society, and the Holy Court, there was also the private army that Tang Wu had been managing for many years.

One of them was even an Empire's sword saint.

"But…"

The subordinate was a little anxious. He could not help but raise his head to look at the Empire's army that was preparing to set up camp in the distance.

The army had already spread out to find a place to set up camp. The Alchemy Society had also cleared out an area to draw a magic array. The entire team seemed to be in chaos, so now was a very good opportunity to attack.

"Don't worry." Ed was very calm. He said, "The offline command team has already given us an analysis model. Tang Wu is coming in full force this time. It's not the best plan to face him head-on."

"Then when do we make our move?"

Without waiting for Ed to answer, a cold voice came from behind him, "They did it on purpose. The chaos you see now is their deliberate opening. Xiao Yun has long noticed our secret surveillance. He wants to lure us into attacking."

They turned around and saw a valiant female player walking towards them with a dozen players.

Ed put down his binoculars and nodded at her. He said, "Younica, it's good that you're here. From now on, the command of this battle will be fully entrusted to you. My team and I will cooperate fully."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Younica.

She was the elder sister of the president of the Holy Bunch Pavilion.

Younica's golden curls draped over her back, making her exquisite face even more outstanding. Her every move exuded charm.

Among all the player teams in the barbarian realm, the Holy Bunch Game Guild had gathered the best individual combat strength.

In terms of ability, both Younica's personal combat ability and commanding ability were top-notch.

Younica was originally cultivating herself in a special space. She had just been contacted by the player team and rushed over.

This battle was extremely crucial. Everyone was on the same boat, and Ed was very willing to hand over the command to someone more suitable.

"Thank you, but I won't stand on ceremony." Younica took over the command and nodded, "Before coming here, I've discussed it with Li Xue. This time, we'll choose to lure the enemy deeper. When they enter the sacred tree area, we'll cooperate with the sacred tree's strength to deal a fatal blow to the royal guards!"

"Yes, alright."

Younica waved her hand, gesturing for the dozen or so players she had brought to set up the surroundings. She looked around and found it a little strange, "Why don't I see Lord Fang Heng?"

Fang Heng…

Speaking of this, Ed's eyelids twitched.

The Land of Plague was about to face an unprecedented crisis. Their hometown might even be overturned!

However, Fang Heng was nowhere to be seen.

1309 Strategy

"He just left two hours ago. He said he had something very important to do, so he left in a hurry."

Younica raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She was very curious about Fang Heng.

She had previously triggered a special mission and entered a special space to cultivate. She had left the game for less than half a month. She did not expect that the entire game would have undergone earth-shattering changes when she returned.

And the source of all these changes was a player in an elementary game?

Younica was extremely curious about Fang Heng. She had already flipped through all the information about Fang Heng on the way.

She realized that there was someone controlling the entire mission line.

Without a doubt, that person was Fang Heng.

He was the key to the entire abyssal demon storyline mission!

This battle was extremely important, and it was almost time for the final battle with Tang Wu's team. Once Tang Wu's army was completely wiped out, Tang Wu would no longer have the ability to turn the tables. It could be said that this would determine the final loyalty of the Empire.

Under such circumstances, Fang Heng wasn't here?

Did he become someone who just gives off commands for others to do?

"Before Fang Heng left, he said that he would leave the Empire to us and that the sacred tree would fully cooperate with us."

Ed explained with a bitter smile.

Fang Heng's trust in others made Li Xue's team feel a lot of pressure.

"Something important…"

Younica frowned and muttered to herself. She raised her head and asked, "What important matter?"

"I'm not sure. It seems to be related to the Holy Court."

Younica's frown deepened.

Ed continued, "At noon, Lord Fang Heng asked about the Book of Oaths of the Holy Court. After that, Li Xue collected a lot of information offline. She then rushed to Ochebrino and wanted to find a guide there. Li Xue's team is already in contact."

"Ochebrino…You mean the headquarters of the Holy Court?"

Younica looked at the foot of the mountain in the distance. She looked at the 50-odd members of the Holy Court's army and muttered to herself with a suspicious expression, "It has something to do with the Holy Court…It seems like the Holy Court is an extremely important part of the mission."

…

At this moment, Fang Heng, Mo Jiawei, and Zhuo Lingfang were hiding in a corner of a small city in the northern part of the Empire.

Twenty minutes ago, the three of them had just sneaked into the city after avoiding the inspection at the city entrance. They had put on the one-time high-quality human skin masks prepared by Li Xue's team.

"Lord Fang Heng, this city is called Ochebrino. It's a small city in the north. The feudal lord of this territory has sworn allegiance to Tang Wu. Most of the people in the city are believers in the Holy Court. We don't know anyone here."

Zhuo Lingfang explained softly.

"I contacted a local guide. He doesn't know our true identity yet. For safety reasons, be careful when talking to him. Don't expose your identity."

"Oh right, the human skin mask can last for eight hours. Once we enter the battle, the human skin mask might lose its effectiveness. We have to pay attention to the time."

As a player who had come with Fang Heng this time, Zhuo Lingfang was unusually nervous. She would log off every ten minutes to report the situation to Li Xue's team.

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded.

As far as he knew, in the barbarian realm game, there weren't many players who learned sacred study.

Zhuo Lingfang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said softly, "He's here!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, a middle-aged man was walking towards the path, looking around sneakily.

"Yimamu!"

The man called Yimamu paused when he heard the shout. He turned around and saw Fang Heng and the others. He immediately walked toward them.

Judging from his appearance, Yimamu was slightly older, and his eyes revealed a shrewd look.

"I am Yimamu, who is the Pupil of Rain?"

Yimamu's gaze quickly swept across Fang Heng and the others.

Zhuo Lingfang nodded and said, "It's me. We contacted each other online before."

Yimamu sized up Zhuo Lingfang and continued, "I've been developing in this city. I know everything about the city. You guys are going to complete a mission, right? The price will be the same as when we contacted you online. Is that okay?"

"No problem."

[Hint: The game has determined that the player in the current trial has a slight tendency to rely on other players to complete the mission. The corresponding proportion of the player's trial mission score is slightly deducted (the current deduction ratio is 0.002%). The current mission score is SS.]

[Hint: Player to adjust your trial strategy in time.]

Fang Heng frowned slightly when he saw the game notification.

He was too careless.

During this period of time, he had let his guard down a little. He had interacted too much with the players and had been punished by the trial.

Mo Jiawei also received the game notification and immediately looked at Fang Heng to ask.

Fang Heng shook his head subtly.

There was no need to stop, continue!

Borrowing the power of the players could save a lot of time.

Currently, the game had judged that there was only a slight tendency. He would take a look and see if the punishment was within an acceptable range to test the balance of the game.

Fang Heng took over and looked at Yimamu, asking, "Yimamu, how much do you know about the Holy Court in this city?"

"There are so many of them. If we were to talk about them for a whole day, we wouldn't be able to finish talking about them. Let me just say a few words. More than 90% of the people living in this city are fanatics of the Holy Court. The largest Holy Court Cathedral in the Empire is also built here. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the headquarters of the Holy Court."

Yimamu pointed at the tall mountain in the distance and said, "See that? That's the Holy Mountain of the Holy Church. The Holy Church is built on the top of the mountain. Every day, believers will come thousands of miles to the church on the top of the mountain for pilgrimage."

They couldn't help but look in the direction Yimamu was pointing.

"I don't think you're believers of the Holy Court, right?"

Yimamu looked as if he had seen through them. As he spoke, he carefully looked around.

"Usually, everyone in the city is the eyes and ears of the Holy Court. As long as any strange person appears, they will be targeted."

"You're lucky. The archbishop of the Holy Court suddenly died two days ago, and there were also some chaotic matters regarding the abyssal demon. In the past two days, more and more Holy Court believers have entered the city to take refuge. There are many outsiders in the city, and it's very chaotic. The inspection is far less strict than before."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

Based on the information he had obtained from Li Xue's team, there was a high chance that the Book of Oaths was stored in the headquarters of the Holy Court.

And that would be Ochebrino, which was where they were now.

It was very likely that it was stored in the cathedral on the Holy Mountain.

"What's wrong? Is your mission related to the Holy Court?"

Yimamu looked at them and said, "There's no need to hide it. I know the rules. I won't ask or interfere. However, let's make one thing clear in advance. If it's a mission against the Holy Court, I'll cut ties with you immediately if anything happens. After all, I'm still planning to stay in the Holy Court. Well, it's not impossible to talk about it unless you're willing to pay for the transfer."

"I heard that the cathedral on the Holy Mountain is the headquarters of the Holy Court?" asked Mo Jiawei.

"Yes, there is such a theory. In the past, some players came into contact with the old blueprint of the cathedral and discovered that there was a large area below the cathedral. However, they were not sure. After all, very few people have actually entered the cathedral. Holy Court itself has never revealed the internal situation of the cathedral to the outside world. It has always been very mysterious."

Mo Jiawei asked, "Is there a way for us to enter the headquarters of the Holy Court?"

"Stop joking. I don't want to die."

Yimamu shook his head repeatedly and said, "There are people from the Holy Court all around. Let alone sneaking in, it's difficult for outsiders to even get close."

Fang Heng and the others looked at each other.

Most of the people in the city were followers of the Holy Court, and it seemed a little difficult to force their way into the cathedral.

He had to think of another way.

"Although you can't enter the cathedral, I can still bring you to the outside of the cathedral. Every day, there will be a gathering in the Holy Court. During the gathering, a large number of followers will enter the cathedral to pray and witness miracles."

Yimamu saw the hesitation on their faces and lowered his voice, "I can think of a way to disguise you as followers of the Holy Court, and bring you into the public area in front of the cathedral."

"Of course, this is an additional service. You have to pay extra."

Zhuo Lingfang raised her eyebrows and handed over the deposit. She said, "Don't worry. We will definitely not give you less money if you work for us. This is the deposit."

"Hahahaha, you're too polite. That's not what I meant. You were introduced by Poole, so I still trust that guy. But as you know when it comes to business, we will talk about the fees first. Whether it works or not, you still have to pay."

After receiving the deposit, a smile immediately appeared on Yimamu's face. He looked down at the time and urged, "Everyone, there will be a pilgrimage every morning and evening. If we are going tonight, we have to act now."

"Alright, let's go now."

Fang Heng nodded and said to Mo Jiawei and Zhou Lifang, "Tonight, we'll go outside the main hall and see what happens before we make a decision."

"Hey, Boss is straightforward! You can tell at a glance that he's someone who can accomplish things!"

Yimamu did not care what these people were up to. He gave Fang Heng a thumbs up and said, "Come, follow me. I'll bring you to change your clothes."

After more than half an hour, Fang Heng changed into the gray linen clothes of the Holy Court's followers and joined the pilgrims who followed him up the mountain.

Those who came to participate in the pilgrimage were all wearing the same gray robe.

After walking for more than half an hour, Fang Heng and his group mixed into the crowd and stepped into the main hall in front of the cathedral.

The Holy Mountain Cathedral was extremely spacious and was enveloped in Holy Light.

A large number of followers gathered in the huge square in front of the hall and prayed with their eyes closed. Some fanatical followers even knelt down and kowtowed in prayer.

Yimamu looked at the few judges standing at the entrance of the hall and couldn't help but be delighted. He said, "Our luck is pretty good. We managed to make it to the God's Choice Day."

Mo Jiawei asked suspiciously, "What?"

"God's Choice Day. There is at least one day every month when the Holy Court publicly announced God's Choice Day. On this day, followers who come to participate in the pilgrimage can receive the baptism of the Holy Light. The Holy Court Church also chooses talented followers from among them. Once they are selected, they can directly become core members of the Holy Court."

Yimamu's eyes flashed with a hint of yearning. After all, he also studied the sacred study.

If they were lucky enough to be chosen, they could directly enter the core of the Holy Court and soar into the sky.

"Let's go, hurry up."

Yimamu was obviously not a devout follower. He pulled everyone to the right side of the square and mixed in with the group of followers who were praying with their eyes closed.

Fang Heng mimicked Yimamu, lowering his head and pretending to pray, his eyes constantly exploring the surroundings.

In addition to the followers, there were also a large number of guards in the uniform of the Holy Court.

At the entrance of the cathedral, several judges of the Holy Court were passionately narrating something.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and whispered to Mo Jiawei, "Have you checked? How's the situation?"

"Yes, I've seen them all."

Mo Jiawei had already used the scouting technique to check on the enemies of the Holy Court. He whispered, "The one speaking at the gate is the judge of the Holy Court. The guards standing and patrolling in the square are all ordinary Holy Paladins. They are all small fries and easy to deal with."

Mo Jiawei pursed his lips in disdain.

They were just judges. Fang Heng had already torn apart a few of them in the past.

Fang Heng's lips curled into a bitter smile.

In the past, it was easy to deal with, but now it might not be the case.

"Followers, God has already felt your prayers. We have to be strong. The pain we are suffering now is God's test for us."

The elite judge tapped the ground lightly with his holy scepter and continued, "The abyssal demon has descended upon the world, and the world is on the verge of destruction. The undead of the Land of Plague is still bewitching the lost souls…"

The followers of the Holy Court half-knelt on the ground piously, their faces filled with excitement.

"Suffering will eventually pass, and the Holy Light will shine on the earth!"

[Hint: You have been affected by the effect of the faith skill. You are immune to this effect.]

When Fang Heng saw the game notification, his heart skipped a beat.

Skills?

Ha, the Holy Court was still good at fooling people.

Fang Heng glanced at the player beside him.

Both Yimamu and Mo Jiawei were still fine, but Zhuo Lingfang's face was clearly filled with yearning.

Weird, didn't she receive any game notifications?

It seemed like the Holy Court was still capable of bewitching people.

Zhuo Lingfang's attributes were not high, so she was more easily affected by the judge's skills.

Fang Heng was about to ask in a low voice when Yimamu, who was beside him, spoke up first and reminded him in a low voice, "Everyone, the God's Choice Days is about to begin. Keep a low profile and lower your head. Don't do anything. Don't be discovered."

"Alright."

Fang Heng lowered his head and looked ahead with his peripheral vision.

In front of the cathedral, more than ten Holy Court judges stood in a row, casting the Book of Creation at the same time and chanting prayers silently.

The golden Holy Light gathered together and formed a large ball of light that was more than two meters long. It slowly floated into the sky.

Fang Heng stared at the elite judge of the Holy Court who was controlling the Holy Light ball.

Eh?

Who was that?

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched. He could not take his eyes off the scepter in the judge's hand.

There was a piece of dark yellow paper stuck to the scepter.

The paper was emitting a faint light.

He was very familiar with this piece of paper.

The Book of Oaths' remnant chapter!

"The Holy Light will shine on the earth. "

Following the final prayer of the elite judge, the golden ball spread out in the air, forming golden stars that drifted down.

1311 Chosen

Fang Heng, like the others, looked up at the stars falling from the sky.

There was no doubt that the light spot contained the strength of the Holy Light attribute.

The followers of the Holy Court were all moved. Some even kowtowed and prayed excitedly.

Yimamu also put on a piety look on his face, muttering prayers in his mouth.

[Hint: You have absorbed the Holy Light energy, and your holy skill experience points 1.]

As the spots of Holy Light fell on his body, Yimamu saw the game hint begin to appear. The holy skill experience points were increasing bit by bit.

Like most players who studied the sacred study, Yimamu did not have much of a connection to the Holy Court even though he studied the sacred study. It was only to maintain false respect on the surface.

He had participated in God's Choice Day so many times, but he had never been chosen by the Holy Court. He had long lost hope.

In any case, the descent of the Holy Light on God's Choice Day could bring him an increase in the experience points of the sacred study. It was much easier for him to gain experience points for free than to work hard to increase his experience points.

Eh?

What was wrong?

Yimamu was happily whoring when he suddenly realized that the Holy Light absorption speed seemed to be a little fast today.

It wasn't that efficient in the past.

In the past, the Holy Light absorption lasted for about five minutes, and the total absorption of 500 experience points was considered not bad.

How could he have absorbed more than 300 experience points in less than a minute today?

Moreover, the experience points were increasing at a faster rate.

What was going on?

Yimamu suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The speed at which his experience points increased was so fast that he felt a little unstable.

Yimamu suddenly opened his eyes.

He discovered that large patches of Holy Light spots were gathering around him.

What was going on?

Yimamu was stunned and turned around to look at Fang Heng.

It was him!

The light spots were gathering towards him!

However, the strange thing was that the person did not absorb any light spots.

Yimamu's eyes revealed suspicion.

Fang Heng felt helpless.

He had long noticed the abnormality of the surrounding light spots, but there was nothing he could do.

Currently, he had already raised his holy skill to the highest level, but he had yet to find a breakthrough point to level it up.

Because his skill experience points were already full, he could not absorb the surrounding Holy Light energy.

However, because he had farmed his sacred study talent before, it far exceeded that of ordinary people by too much. The surrounding stars of light continued to gather towards him.

As a result, the Holy Light spots that were attracted to Fang Heng were not absorbed by him. Instead, they gathered around him and benefited Yimamu, who was the closest to Fang Heng.

Many followers nearby had also noticed the abnormality that was happening here and cast their gazes at Fang Heng. A few brave players had already quietly approached Fang Heng, ready to take a share of the loot.

No matter what happened to Fang Heng, the real thing was to absorb the skill experience points.

The judges at the entrance of the hall also noticed something strange about Fang Heng and looked over.

People were different.

Some people were born with the ability to sense the strength of the Holy Light and absorb it better.

This was talent!

Those who had the talent for sacred studies were one in ten thousand.

However, the judges had never seen someone as talented as Fang Heng, who was able to gather a large number of Holy Light spots.

That follower's talent was unfathomable!

Sanjay, the judge in charge of the ritual, was surprised.

In fact, God's Choice Day was opened at a fixed time and was set up by the Holy Court to select talents.

Every time the ball of Holy Light was activated, it would consume a portion of the strength of the Book of Oath's remnant chapter.

With the death of Archbishop Karkkila, the strength of the entire Holy Court plummeted. In addition, they were besieged by the various feudal lords' forces and the Mage Association's forces. At the moment, they needed fresh blood to replenish their strength. That was why they had activated God's Choice Day in advance and lowered the requirements to select a large number of the Holy Court's followers to join the party to quickly replenish their strength.

To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder.

Who would have thought that they would accidentally discover a follower with great potential?

Fang Heng's potential in the sacred study left Sanjay speechless.

It was too exaggerated!

Even if Karkkila was still alive, he probably wouldn't have such a strong talent for sacred study.

Could it be that the Holy Light had once again blessed them?

Or was it the reincarnation of the son of God in the holy realm?

Sanjay was a little excited and could not help but raise his hand.

A few Holy Paladins from the back immediately walked up and asked in a low voice, "Judge, what are your orders?"

"Yes, go and check his background. Give it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

Several knights of the Holy Court looked at Fang Heng and memorized his face. Then, they left quickly, trying to find information about Fang Heng.

The scattered light spots lasted for a full five minutes before slowly dissipating.

"Followers, God has sensed your prayers and has made a choice among you. If you are willing to follow God's call and serve God's will, please follow me. There are more severe tests waiting for you."

Sanjay, the elite judge of the Holy Court, nodded to a Holy Paladin beside him.

The Holy Paladin said in a clear voice. "Next, the chosen followers, please step forward and stand beside me."

Sanjay immediately raised his scepter and pointed it at Fang Heng in the crowd.

"Are you willing to accept God's guidance?"

Everyone's gaze gathered on Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was stunned.

This time, he had only come to try his luck and check out the situation around the cathedral. He never expected to encounter God's Choice Ritual, and his talent in the sacred study was noticed.

How should he deal with it?

"Hurry up and go." Yimamu prompted when he realized that Sanjay was pointing to Fang Heng. He was surprised and even more excited than Fang Heng. He quickly pushed Fang Heng and whispered, "Don't refuse. No followers will refuse to follow God's guidance. Refusing means that there's something wrong with you!"

Fang Heng looked into Sanjay's eyes and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Did he find out?

Or was he chosen by Sanjay purely because of his talent in the sacred study?

Mo Jiawei was a little nervous. He whispered, "Old Fang, what should we do?"

Seeing that Fang Heng was stunned for half a second and did not move, Yimamu could not help but urge him again, "Don't worry about your stupid mission. You're going to be rich. There aren't many people who can be chosen by the main judge. After entering the core of the Holy Court, you'll definitely be personally nurtured by the judge. What mission can be better than this? Don't forget to help me when you're rich in the future."

"Okay, I'll go and take a look. You guys think of a way to take action."

Fang Heng quickly made a decision. He pretended to be surprised and confused as he slowly stood up.

He didn't care.

In any case, it was most likely impossible for him to escape now.

He might as well follow them and take a look!

He could also find a way to figure out the situation inside the hall.

Sanjay looked at Fang Heng walking towards him and smiled kindly. He said, "Follower, you have made the right choice. God will guide us in the right direction."

1312 Holy Light Forever

"May the Holy Light shine forever."

Fang Heng bowed slightly and followed the Holy Paladin's instructions. He stood beside the Holy Paladin.

Then, the other Holy Paladins raised their scepters and chose the followers who had the sacred study talent.

One by one, the followers walked out of the crowd and stood up, forming a row beside Fang Heng.

Slowly, Sanjay frowned.

He realized that the number of followers chosen this time was much higher than before.

All the chosen followers were pleasantly surprised.

When the selection phase was about to end, one of the judges pointed his scepter at Yimamu.

"You, step forward."

Yimamu was startled. He looked around and found that there was no one else around.

"Me! It's really me!"

After realizing that he had been chosen, Yimamu was very surprised. He quickly raised his arm and waved it fiercely. Then, he walked forward and stood at the back of the line.

In the past, only three followers would be chosen on God's Choice Day. When it was rare, there would often be situations where no one passed the preliminary selection.

Today was different. The number of people who passed the preliminary selection was exceptionally large. A rough estimate was that more than 60 people were selected.

"Today's God's Choice Day's ritual and pilgrimage have come to an end. The chosen ones will follow me to participate in the second round of trials. The rest of you can leave."

Sanjay nodded to the Holy Paladins beside him, raised his scepter, and walked towards the cathedral.

The followers gathered in the square outside the cathedral ended their prayers, stood up, and slowly moved away along the exit at the foot of the mountain.

Mo Jiawei and Zhuo Lingfang were not chosen. The two of them hesitated for a moment. When they saw that the Holy Paladins in the square had already begun to clear the area, they had no choice but to follow the crowd and leave the square.

Fang Heng, Yimamu, and the other chosen followers followed the Holy Court's judge into the cathedral.

Holy Light shone in the cathedral hall, and the atmosphere in the golden hall was gloomy. Even though it was already night, the Holy Light transformed into the sunlight and shone through the crystal glass at the top, illuminating the entire empty hall.

"Followers, please follow me."

Sanjay led the group slowly forward along the hall's passageway.

Fang Heng followed the team down the stairs and arrived at an empty circular hall at the end of the cathedral's basement.

The hall was spacious and bright. There was a tall circular crystal stone pillar in the middle. The surrounding walls were uneven. If one looked carefully, one would see that some embossed were carved on the walls.

Along the wall, there were many wooden boxes.

Following the Holy Paladins into the hall, Fang Heng felt a sense of peace and quiet rise from the bottom of his heart.

The game notification appeared again.

[Hint: Player has entered a special area-Piety Hall. The player has been affected by a special effect-tranquility.]

The sacred study had its own special aspects, which could affect a person's mind.

Sanjay stood in front of the crystal pillar in the center of the hall and slowly spread his hands forward with a devout expression. He said, "Followers, let go of your wariness and accept the trial that God has given you. Show your strength and wisdom, and then accept God's gift."

Trial?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Yimamu, who was also standing among the crowd of followers, with a questioning gaze.

Yimamu was also stunned. It seemed that this was the first time he had encountered such a so-called trial.

While Fang Heng was thinking, Judge Sanjay had already led the Holy Paladins out of the hall.

For a moment, there were only 60 or so followers left in the hall.

"Boom!!"

The door was slammed shut, and a dark golden light barrier appeared above the door.

Just as Sanjay walked out of the hall, two members of the Holy Court hurried up and whispered into Sanjay's ear.

"Judge, we've investigated. The follower you're concerned about is an outsider who came to participate in the pilgrimage with Yimamu. We're sure that we've never seen this person before. He just escaped to the Holy City today to take refuge. We've asked around. His name is Fang Shuo."

"Yimamu…"

Sanjay muttered to himself.

He knew Yimamu.

"What about Fang Shuo's strength level? Has it been certified by the Holy Court?"

"Judge, we haven't found anything yet. We're looking through the registration data of all the Holy Courts in recent years. We're short of manpower, so it'll take some time to check everything." The Holy Paladin nodded and continued, "In addition, he has two companions with him. We have already sent people to follow them and monitor them. Do we need to detain them?"

"No need. Continue following them and wait for the follow-up investigation."

"Yes, sir!"

The two Holy Paladins cupped their fists and hurried back.

Kadar, the other judge of the Holy Court, heard the conversation between the two and felt that Sanjay was making a mountain out of a molehill. He could not help but ask, "Sanjay, in the past, the investigation was carried out within a month after the end of the God's Choice Ritual. This time, it's so urgent. Are you very suspicious of him?"

Sanjay was still thinking about something and nodded. He said, "Yes…The investigation is necessary. Every chosen follower needs to undergo the necessary screening."

Kadar frowned and continued, "You saw it just now, right? That followers' holy affinity can only be described as 'terrifying'. If he has not received any cultivation in the sacred study, wouldn't it be too dangerous to let him take the advancement test directly? It's not a good thing to pull up a seedling to help it grow."

Sanjay narrowed his eyes and looked up. He said, "Kadar, I understand your concerns. However, the Holy City is currently in a chaotic state. Fang Shuo's appearance is too coincidental. My intuition doesn't feel good."

"The Holy Court is already on the brink of danger. If we're not careful, we'll be the sinners who push the Holy Court into the abyss. I have to be extra careful."

"Yes, I understand. You want to force him to see if he's hiding anything," Kadar nodded and replied.

"That's right. Let's go to the Prism Plane to see their performance," Sanjay said and continued to walk forward. "I hope I'm just thinking too much."

…

After the judges left, there were only 60 or so Holy Court followers who had just been selected.

It was the first time the followers had entered the cathedral, so they did not know what the so-called test was. They all looked around curiously.

Most of the followers were standing on the spot cautiously, not daring to move.

The entire hall was constructed in a huge circle, and the huge crystal pillar in the center of the room was particularly eye-catching.

Fang Heng took a few more glances at the stone pillar.

At this moment, Yimamu approached Fang Heng.

"Brother, this is my first time here as well. I heard from the judge that we might have to face the trial of the Holy Court later. Let's form a team and help each other if we can."

"Mm, alright. Do you have any clues about the trial?"

"I don't know. By the way, those people are from a local gang. They're not very famous, but they do things a little dirty. We still need to be vigilant and try not to get into conflict with them."

1313 Piety Hall

Fang Heng's gaze swept across the four people gathered not far away. They were whispering something together and looked like players.

"Alright."

Buzz …

The central crystal pillar emitted a faint halo of light.

Seeing this, everyone who had gathered in front of the crystal pillar pushed back and remained vigilant.

Fang Heng's gaze once again focused on the large crystal pillar.

Eh?

The remnant chapter!

Upon closer inspection, a dark yellow remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths appeared in the center of the crystal pillar.

The remnant chapter appeared and disappeared from time to time.

The dark golden light emitted by the crystal pillar slowly spread to the surroundings.

Fang Heng carefully took a step forward and found that the dark golden light did not do any damage. Therefore, he mustered up his courage and took a few more steps forward, trying to reach out his hand to touch the remnant chapter through the crystal.

He had just raised his hand and had yet to get close when…

"Buzz…!!!"

Suddenly, a golden light bloomed from the crystal pillar!

The light shone on everyone.

[Hint: You have been affected by the healing effect, and your HP recovery speed has increased.]

[Hint: You are protected by an unknown strength.]

Fang Heng stopped in his tracks and frowned. He suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.

Tsk tsk tsk…

A strange sound rang out around the crystal pillar.

Immediately after, dark golden light spots flickered in the air like electric currents and condensed one after another.

More and more light spots gathered. In less than a minute, the light spots gradually formed fist-sized light balls.

What was that?

The followers below looked up at the golden spheres.

"Chi, chi, chi…"

Spikes of different sizes gradually protruded from the surface of the ball!

This time, the number of followers who chose to participate in God's Choice Ritual was ten times more than before. Other than Fang Heng, there were also many players participating.

One of the players happened to have a perception-type talent and was continuously releasing skills to investigate the golden ball. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Be careful!"

"Whoosh!"

The ball covered in spikes flew straight towards him!

"Tsk!"

The player shouted and quickly stopped using his innate skill. He dodged to the side in a panic.

In the next moment, the balls in the air gradually trembled and flew toward the followers who were undergoing the test!

"Run!"

"Move aside!!!"

The followers shouted and ran in all directions. However, the entire hall had been sealed off and there was no place to run. For a moment, the entire venue became chaotic.

A follower who was a little far away from the central crystal pillar ran to the wall and suddenly noticed the wooden box by his feet.

The wooden box was not locked.

Weapons?!

The follower opened the wooden box and found that it was filled with equipment and weapons. He could not help but shout.

"Everyone! There are weapons in the box!"

Hearing this, the followers immediately realized that the box might have been deliberately left behind by the Holy Court for them to deal with this trial. They all approached the box at the edge of the hall.

Fang Heng, who was the closest to the crystal pillar, also became the target of the spiked ball of light.

Fang Heng sensed the danger and retreated immediately. However, a spiked ball of light still flew toward him.

Yimamu pulled Fang Heng away from the attack of the spiked ball of light and covered Fang Heng as they ran towards the wooden box on the right side.

"Brother! Follow me, we'll go there!"

"Alright."

Other than his mental strength, Fang Heng's other attributes had been greatly weakened. He estimated that he would lose more than half of his HP if he was hit by the spiked ball of light. He did not dare to be careless and hurriedly followed Yimamu to the box beside the wall not far away.

Yimamu's combat ability was not weak. He predicted the trajectory of the golden spiked ball of light and led Fang Heng to dodge left and right. At the same time, he did not forget to whisper instructions.

"Fang Shuo, follow me carefully. I'll try my best to cover you. My special talent is related to perception. I can feel that someone has been spying on us in the dark. It's very likely that it's someone from the Holy Court. Wait, don't expose any skills other than the sacred study."

"Yes."

At this critical moment, Yimamu did not forget to bring Fang Heng along.

Other than Fang Heng being his employer, what Fang Heng had just done in the square was very shocking. Yimamu felt that Fang Heng would definitely soar after he joined the Holy Court, so he also had the intention of fawning over him.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At first, the flying Holy Light spiked balls of light weren't fast, but they gradually began to accelerate.

The speed at which the golden ball of light condensed also became faster and faster.

For a moment, the hall was filled with flying spiked balls of light, leaving less and less space for the followers to dodge.

A few followers who were completely defenseless were hit by the spiked balls of light. After being knocked down, they fainted and lay on the ground motionless. Their bodies were then enveloped in a faint dark golden light.

A few clever followers saw that the situation was not good, so they simply lay down on the spot and pretended to faint.

They did not expect that the spiked ball of light had some kind of sensory ability, and it still crashed toward them to finish them off.

"Bang! Bang!"

The spiked ball of light completely knocked out the followers who were pretending to be unconscious.

The 'playing dead' tactic had no effect. Instead, it bought some time for the others.

Yimamu brought Fang Heng to the wooden box at the edge of the hall and opened it.

The box was filled with weapons.

Yimamu took out an unopened metal cleaver from the box and weighed it in his hand. He then looked at Fang Heng with a questioning look.

Fang Heng shook his head silently.

With his current attributes, he was not suitable for close combat.

Yimamu was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and shouted, "Move aside!"

Fang Heng immediately tilted his head and dodged.

"Whoosh!"

The blade brushed past Fang Heng's ear and crashed into the sharp light ball that was coming from the right!

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the spiked ball of light was sent flying.

"D*mn, that was really hard…"

Yimamu gritted his teeth and shook his slightly numb wrist.

"Fang Shuo, you…"

Yimamu was about to say something to Fang Heng when he realized that there was no one beside him. He turned around and saw that Fang Heng was already rummaging through the box.

Fang Heng quickly rummaged through the weapons in the box.

If melee combat wasn't good enough, he could choose a long-range magic skill.

Fang Heng casually pulled open the melee weapons on the top of the box and found a wooden scepter underneath.

[Item: The gifted scepter of the trial.]

Equipment requirement: Basic sacred study.

Description: A basic scepter provided by the Holy Court. When equipped, it increases the success rate of holy spells by 3%.

Description: Additional skill-Holy Light shield (basic).

Description: A special item, cannot be stored in the backpack.

Fang Heng checked the attributes of the wooden scepter and tried to weigh the scepter in his hand like Yimamu.

"Not bad…"

It was already very rare for a basic weapon to have an additional skill.

Moreover, it was not heavy. It was very suitable for his current weak physique.

If it was a metal scepter, it might take more effort to use it.

1314 Division

With a flick of his wrist, the Book of Creation appeared in his palm.

Just as Fang Heng took out the Book of Creation, more than 20 gazes instantly gathered on him.

What the hell!

It was actually the Book of Creation?

Holy Light shield.

A golden shield spread out and instantly enveloped Fang Heng!

"Bang!"

The spiked ball of Holy Light that came from the right hit the shield and was instantly bounced back.

Yimamu was stunned for a moment and could not help but look at Fang Heng.

What? Priest of the Holy Court?

He was already a priest?

From the beginning to the end, Yimamu had thought that Fang Heng was a player who had infiltrated the sacred study to do a hostile mission. How could he have expected that Fang Heng was actually a member of the church?

Yimamu was a little confused. He looked at Fang Heng in a daze for half a second without saying a word.

He thought, "There's something wrong with you!"

They were clearly people from the Holy Court, so why did they have to hide and sneak in here? Couldn't he come openly?

Fang Heng did not say anything. Instead, he raised his wooden scepter and pointed it at the dumbfounded Yimamu.

"Weapon blessing!"

Whoosh!

Yimamu's pupils shrank, and he immediately lowered his head.

He realized that the unopened blade in his hand was actually attached with a layer of dark golden light!

The light seemed to have substance, and the halo slowly flowed on the blade.

What the hell!

A support strengthening skill of the holy system?

He was really a priest of the Holy Court!

"Yimamu! Don't be in a daze! Be careful of your right!"

Fang Heng's shout rang in his ears, and Yimamu immediately came back to his senses. He raised his sword and swung it in the direction of the howling wind to his right.

"Whoosh!"

The blade accurately hit the dark golden spiked ball of light that was flying toward him from the right.

"Pa!"

"Kakaka!!!"

At the moment of impact, the center of the spiked ball of light was instantly covered in cracks!

The spiked ball swayed as it flew into the air.

"Boom!"

The entire spiked ball of light exploded in midair!

An explosion attracted the attention of many followers, who all looked at Yimamu.

What the hell!

The ball of light was actually destroyed by Yimamu's blade?

Yimamu was also shocked.

He realized that the blade in his hand had become extremely sharp under the enhancement of Fang Shuo's skill. With just one collision, the entire golden ball's spikes were shattered!

Fang Shuo! That player!

What was his background?

Yimamu couldn't understand what was going on. He turned around and looked at Fang Heng with disbelief in his eyes.

The skill was still the same skill.

The basic skill of the sacred study, weapon blessing, was undoubtedly a skill.

But wasn't the effect too exaggerated?

It was as if the archbishop of the Holy Court had personally cast a skill. The effect of the skill was more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person!

Whoosh! Swoosh!

Without waiting for Yimamu to ask, the large number of golden light spots that exploded in the air scattered and shattered into dark golden light spots.

The light spots slowly descended and floated toward Fang Heng.

Hmm?

The golden light was instantly absorbed by Fang Heng.

Unlike in the square before, Fang Heng felt a trace of heat flow into his body through the absorbed light spots, as if he was soaking in warm water.

At the same time, several lines of game notifications appeared.

[Hint: You have been affected by the skill "Holy Light-Brilliance".]

[Hint: Detected player's current status-elementary sacred study. The elementary sacred study can be upgraded to the intermediate sacred study.]

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission-Intermediate sacred study upgrade.]

Mission title: Intermediate sacred study upgrade.

Mission description: You have come into contact with an unknown special power. Through this power, you have gained a deeper understanding of holy power.

Mission requirement: Continue to absorb the Holy Light to complete the advancement. Current energy requirement: 0.3/100.

So that was how it was! Golden Holy Light was a special type of Holy Light energy!

Moreover, it could increase the level of sacred study!

Fang Heng's eyes flashed with surprise.

In this way, he could also increase the level of his sacred study!

Yimamu also absorbed a small portion of the Holy Light spots, and he immediately revealed a happy expression.

It turned out that there were additional rewards in the trial! After destroying these light balls, you can obtain additional experience points for sacred study skills!

He was standing beside Fang Heng. Even though most of the light spots were absorbed by Fang Heng, he also got a lot of it.

Different from the previous God's Choice, the power contained in the light spots had increased greatly, and the experience points for the sacred study had also increased greatly!

Yimamu looked excited and immediately threw all the doubts about Fang Heng to the back of his mind.

Who cares who Fang Shuo was?! Perhaps the name Fang Shuo was fake. After all, it was too difficult to gain sacred study experience points. Wouldn't he have to farm them properly?

Even if Fang Shuo was a person who studied necromancy, he still had to cooperate with him!

"Brother, you are so awesome!"

Yimamu nodded excitedly at Fang Heng behind him, and the two of them chased after a spiked ball of light on the right.

Other than a dozen or so followers who were not strong enough to be eliminated at the beginning of the trial, the remaining followers had some tricks up their sleeves. They gradually formed a few small teams and gathered together. They equipped the weapons they obtained from the wooden boxes and fought hard against the spiked light balls.

Finally, a few teams managed to break through the spiked ball of light with great effort. They gradually realized that the golden light spots that scattered after the spiked ball of light exploded could increase the sacred study strength.

The followers gradually figured out the method of this trial. No one spoke, and they were all silently looking for an opportunity to attack the ball of light.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent. Only the sounds of weapons clashing and occasional shouts could be heard.

Fang Heng worked together with Yimamu. Fang Heng assisted while Yimamu dealt damage. The speed at which they destroyed the spiked balls of light was not slow.

The spiked balls of light that were flying in the air were constantly shattered and then turned into stars that were continuously absorbed by Fang Heng.

However, as they fought, the followers in the hall realized something.

After receiving a certain degree of damage, the spiked balls of light would slowly float into the sky and explode.

In this way, at least half of the scattered golden light spots would gather in Fang Heng's direction.

Fang Heng and Yimamu split the golden specks.

More and more followers felt that something was wrong, but no one stood up to say anything. They silently raised their weapons to block and destroy the spiked balls of light.

The followers were not stupid. They all recognized Fang Heng, the young man who had attracted a large amount of holy aura in the square. Even the elite judge, Sanda, looked at him differently.

After entering the Holy Court, Fang Heng was most likely going to soar in the sky. It was too late to hug his thigh. Why did he have to take the initiative to become enemies with him?

Although they were a little unhappy, no one was willing to be the first to step forward.

However, the players couldn't hold it in any longer.

What did he mean?

They had worked hard to kill the monsters for half a day. Why should the golden light spots that dropped be divided in half by an unknown person?

A full half!

It was too exaggerated!

The players quickly exchanged glances.

The light balls in the hall stopped appearing after the initial rapid condensation. There were only a few light balls in total, which corresponded to a few sacred study experience points.

However, there were still so many people in the hall. There was simply not enough to share!

1315 Can't Endure It

It was not easy to find such an opportunity to obtain a large amount of Holy Court experience points, but a stranger who came out of nowhere was taking up a large portion of it.

Unhappy!

The players kept glancing at Fang Heng.

They could endure it. After Fang Heng passed the trial, he would most likely be called the core groomed. At that time, with the protection of the Holy Court and the favor of the Holy Court's judge, there was no need for them to have a conflict with Fang Heng.

Or find an opportunity to get rid of him now!

The player were all waiting for someone who dared to stand up for them.

For example, the four players who had gathered together.

Idamudun was a small guild formed by players in the city. The members of the guild all studied the sacred study and joined the guild to keep themselves warm.

This time, their luck was extremely good. All four players passed the preliminaries at the same time.

The four of them quickly exchanged glances, full of fear towards Fang Heng.

That strange young man.

Their guild had been developing in the game for more than ten years, and only one Holy Paladin had passed the God's Choice assessment and joined the Holy Court. They enjoyed great benefits and various resources from the Holy Court.

If Fang Heng was allowed to successfully join the Holy Court, there was a high chance that his talent would affect the station leader's position in the Holy Court and directly affect the interests of everyone in their team.

Instead of that, why not think of a way to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him?

From the moment Fang Heng revealed his talent, they had already become enemies!

Moreover, they were in the right this time!

After figuring this out, the team prepared to make their move.

"Stop!"

Momir, an apprentice Holy Paladin in the player team, stared at Yimamu and shouted, "Yimamu! Who is he? A fair competition. You guys are using tricks to absorb our abilities. Is there any meaning in doing so? Hurry up and make him stop. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

Yimamu had also noticed the 'free' experience points long ago. He knew that he was in the wrong, so in order to keep a low profile, he hid in a corner with Fang Heng and quietly developed.

After Momir took the initiative to attack, more believers cast unfriendly gazes at Fang Heng and the others.

For a time, the two of them became the target of public criticism.

Fang Heng slowly raised his head and looked at the three of them with disdain.

The absorption rate of the Holy Light spots was not high to begin with, and the increase in experience points was slow. There were still three-quarters of the spiked balls of light left in the hall, which was not enough for so many people to share.

He had been thinking about how he could get more experience points, but he did not expect someone to take the initiative to make things difficult.

That would be even easier!

Yimamu raised his guard and took half a step forward to block in front of Fang Heng. He rubbed the hilt of the machete in his hand and reminded him in a low voice, "Fang Shuo, be careful. These people are not easy to deal with."

"Yimamu, cut the crap. Since we're all from the same city, you've already earned enough. Let's take a step back and stop now. How about it?"

Yimamu stared at the person and asked in a deep voice, " Oh? How do you want to take a step back?"

"Hand him over, and we can accept you, help you pass the trial together, and even be your recommendation to join Idamudun."

Yimamu's expression was a little cold as he replied, "What if I don't agree?"

Momir was stunned.

He thought that the conditions he offered were very generous, and Yimamu did not even consider them.

"Otherwise? You know how many people outside are begging to join our gang."

Momir felt like he had been slapped in the face and waved his hand at Fang Heng!

"Then die with him!"

"Whoosh! Swoosh!"

The spiked ball of light in the air was actually guided by Momir and flew toward Fang Heng.

Momir's eyes flashed with killing intent. He wanted to kill Fang Heng in one fell swoop!

"Let's see how you run!"

Fang Heng's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Eh? The spiked ball of light was actually guided by spiritual energy?

Holy Light shield!

Faced with the many spiked balls of light, the Holy Light shield opened again.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang Bang!!!"

More than ten sharp light balls hit the light screen one after another, making a series of clashing sounds.

However, what was extremely surprising was that the shield did not show any signs of damage under the bombardment of the spiked balls of light!

On the contrary, the spiked balls of light were sent flying!

Fang Heng licked his lips.

His spirit attribute could increase the strength of his shield. In addition, his passive skills could increase the effect of his skills by an additional 600%. There was also the added bonus brought by his own sacred study…

All in all, even an ordinary shield could display a powerful effect!

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Seeing that one move had failed, Momir gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Continue!"

After the ball of light was repelled, it once again bombarded the shield in front of Fang Heng! More and more spiked balls of light gathered at Fang Heng at the same time.

Seeing this, Yimamu's expression immediately turned ugly.

He had thought that the people of Idamudun Gang wouldn't dare to go too far in the Holy Court trial, but he didn't expect them to directly attack!

"Don't just stand there," Fang Heng whispered. "This bit of attack can't break the shield. Ignore them. Continue doing what you're doing."

"Yes! Alright!"

Yimamu was also holding back his anger, so he decided not to care about anything else. He pulled out his saber and slashed forward!

"Boom!"

The sharp light ball that was struck was shattered once again!

"Dong! Thump! Thump!!"

For a moment, a large number of spiked light balls bombarded the shield, and the sound of collision could not stop.

Meanwhile, Yimamu hid within the shield and found the right opportunity to attack the spiked ball of light.

Every time he attacked, he could blow up a ball of light!

After a few more spiked light balls were shattered by the Yimamu, the players' expressions gradually became strange.

What was going on?

The Holy Light shield that Fang Heng had summoned had withstood several attacks, but it did not even show any signs of shattering.

Was that shield really that strong?

There was also that Yimamu who was very strange. Everyone developed in a small city and knew each other well.

In the past, Yimamu's strength was definitely not that strong. Why did it change so much today? Why was he able to destroy a ball of light every time it attacked?

What drugs did he take? Or was he hiding his strength just for today?

Fang Heng watched as Yimamu slowly split apart the spiked light balls. His experience points were also increasing very slowly. He felt rather helpless.

The skills he recorded in the Book of Creation were simple Holy Light purification and weapon blessing. They were both support-type abilities, and his main output still depended on the Yimamu's attacks.

Otherwise, the game would have ended long ago.

He didn't expect that he would still live in the form that he hated the most in the past, completely turning into a turtle shell of the Holy Light element.

The spiked light balls kept coming over, which could help them increase their farming efficiency by a small margin.

While Yimamu continued to attack, Fang Heng would occasionally cast weapon blessing on Yimamu and then search around the surrounding wooden boxes.

1316 Holy Fire Meteor

[Hint: You have discovered an item-wisdom scepter of the trial.]

[Hint: You have discovered an item-divine scepter…]

Unfortunately, most of the equipment in the box did not have any attributes. After rummaging through it for a while, he did not find anything.

Eh?

When he reached the bottom of one of the boxes, Fang Heng let out a soft gasp.

[Item: Unholy gift (scepter).]

Equipment requirement: Basic sacred study.

Description: After equipping, the success rate of casting will be reduced by 20%. All directional skills of your enemies will deviate (can be supplemented by spiritual power). The difficulty of your spell control will increase by 500%.

Additional skill: Holy fire meteors.

Skill description: Condenses a ball of Holy Light to attack the enemy. Deals additional damage to the undead, hell, vampires, and other living beings (Skill cooldown: 0.3 seconds).

Additional skill: Unclean

Skill description: Releases the holy fire meteor. This skill has an additional 50% cooldown, an additional 50% reduction in consumption, and an additional 50% reduction in accuracy.

Good stuff!

He had found a holy elemental skill!

Fang Heng immediately grabbed the scepter from the wooden box.

At the same time, the Holy Light shield that enveloped Fang Heng and Yimamu disappeared.

Yimamu had just destroyed a golden light spot with a slash. When he saw the Holy Light shield disappear, he was stunned and turned his head to look at Fang Heng.

What was going on?

"This is our chance! They can't hold on anymore!"

Momir had already fallen out with Fang Heng. Seeing the shield disappear, he heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately shouted and the two Holy Paladins beside him dashed toward Fang Heng at the same time!

Taking advantage of the shattered shield, they wanted to give Fang Heng a fatal blow!

The two Holy Paladins quickly closed the distance between them and Fang Heng.

Eh?

When they were about ten meters away from Fang Heng, the two apprentice Holy Paladins had a bad feeling. They couldn't see the panic on Fang Heng's face. Instead, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Fang Heng slowly raised the scepter in his hand and aimed it at the Holy Paladin player who was flying toward him from the right.

Momir's pupils constricted, and he could clearly see a faint light emerging from the tip of the scepter.

The holy fire meteors!

"Whoosh!"

The light spots condensed into a ball and shot forward!

Seeing Fang Heng's skill, the Holy Paladin who was charging forward heaved a sigh of relief.

He won this round!

He had been shocked and thought that it was some powerful high-level skill.

It was just an ordinary holy fire meteor since it was an elementary skill. Even without any equipment, he could still take a few hits with his own attribute.

On the other hand, Fang Shuo was only a trainee priest and had lost the protection of the Holy Light shield. If he got close to him, he would die!

There was no chance of turning the tables!

The Holy Paladin judged the attack route of the holy fire meteor spell and continued to charge forward with the metal shield in front of him.

"Boom!!"

The holy fire meteor crashed into the metal shield.

A dull thud!

The Holy Paladin's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt the shield in front of him being smashed!

Immediately after, his pupils constricted. Suddenly, an irresistible force surged over him. He was unable to maintain his forward-charging footsteps for a moment. He did not even stand firm and took two steps back.

What was going on?

Why was it so heavy?!

The Holy Paladin was shocked and quickly scanned through the game hint.

[Hint: You have been attacked. Your skill, shield block, has taken effect. You have completely absorbed the damage of this attack. The durability of the shield has taken additional damage.]

[Hint: Additional authentication. You have been sent into a shocking state. Duration: 0.01 seconds.]

He looked down and saw a small dent on the shield where the holy fire meteor had hit. The durability of the shield had also decreased by a fifth.

Was the attack power of the holy fire meteor that high?

"Be careful!"

Hearing the shout, the Holy Paladin raised his head.

What was that?

"Whoosh! Shuuuuu!"

Raising his head, he saw seventy to eighty holy fire meteors flying toward him!

Tsk!

How could this be an ordinary elementary holy fire meteor? It was simply a meteor shower!

The Holy Paladin cursed in his heart. He no longer had any intention of charging forward and fighting Fang Heng to the death. He hurriedly raised his shield and dodged to the side.

However, it was already a step too late!

The accuracy of the holy fire meteor was not good enough, so Fang Heng simply released his skills continuously, directly enveloping a large area!

The Holy Paladin realized that he could not escape the range of the holy fire meteor shower!

It was over!

The Holy Paladin's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He could only find the weakest spot in the meteor shower and put his shield in front of him.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

In the next second, seven or eight holy fire meteors smashed into the shield in front of him, exploding into golden light.

"Bang!!!"

The durability of the shield he picked up from the box was not full. Under the continuous bombardment of the holy fire meteors, the entire shield shattered. The apprentice Holy Paladin was sent flying by the remaining holy fire meteors. In the end, he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Buzz…"

A dark golden light enveloped the fallen Holy Paladin.

The other apprentice Holy Paladin player who was originally chasing after Fang Heng swallowed his saliva when he saw his companion die so miserably. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his legs went weak.

This… How could he win?

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to him.

He slowly raised his hand and raised the scepter in his hand again, aiming it at him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Swoosh!"

The holy fire meteors shot out from the scepter one after another, chasing after the Holy Paladin.

"Gah!!"

The Holy Paladin player shouted and turned around to run. He ran for his life crazily!

In the end, only two holy fire meteors struck his shield.

Seeing that the Holy Paladin player had left the attack range, Fang Heng slowly put down the scepter in his hand.

The cooldown time of holy fire meteors was originally 0.1 seconds, and it did not consume much energy. In addition to the cooldown reduction effect of his plague virus skill and the cooldown reduction of his weapon's skills, he could easily release skills continuously.

The weakness was that holy fire meteor was a relatively basic skill. The skill's attack power was low, and its attack range was extremely limited.

The low attack power could be increased by the high spiritual power provided by the plague virus, the additional 600% increase in skill effects, and his own sacred study talent.

After the comprehensive strengthening, it might not be enough to deal with powerhouses like the Holy Court's judges, but it would be easy to deal with ordinary players.

As for the attack range, it was a little awkward.

Fang Heng looked at Momir and the other two from afar.

It wasn't that he didn't want to eliminate the problem completely, but the conditions didn't allow it.

However…

Fang Heng glanced at the crystal pillar in the middle of the hall.

"It seems that we can use them for a while?"

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and sized Momir up.

Momir gnashed his teeth in hatred.

1317 Nurturing

In his opinion, Fang Heng was an extremely dangerous person, and Fang Heng's gaze was an extreme provocation!

After this test, Momir became more wary of Fang Heng.

Yimamu, who was standing at the side, noticed Fang Heng's move. After the initial shock, a pleasantly surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.

D*mn it! This time, he had hugged onto a huge thigh!

After being unlucky for more than ten years, his luck finally changed today!

Fang Heng maintained his posture of raising his scepter.

The increase in his mental strength had also increased his magic power recovery speed. He tried to raise the scepter again and aim it at the spiked ball of light not far away in the air.

"Whoosh! Shuuuuu!!!"

More than 30 holy fire meteors flew toward the spiked ball of light.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions sounded.

Under the continuous bombardment, the spiked ball of Holy Light exploded, scattering bits of energy in the air.

After the skill was released, Fang Heng frowned.

The effect was very ordinary.

The spiked ball of light had a natural additional resistance to holy elements and could withstand more damage.

Moreover, the accuracy of the holy fire meteors was really bad. Its hit rate was only about 30%.

"I can try that…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself. He squatted down and picked up the other scepter that had just been thrown on the ground.

Buzz …

A Holy Light shield spread out, once again enveloping Fang Heng and Yimamu in the center.

"Hmm?"

Yimamu was still excited and ready to hug Fang Heng's thigh. Seeing that Fang Heng had switched to turtle shell mode again, he could not help but feel strange.

What did he mean? Wasn't he very fierce just now? Why did he stop? Continue!

Yimamu leaned toward Fang Heng and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why aren't you continuing?"

Fang Heng shrugged helplessly and looked around at the followers in the hall. With a helpless smile on his face, he replied in a loud voice, "I can't continue. It was my first time using this skill, and I didn't master it well. My mental strength is almost exhausted."

"Ah?"

Yimamu's heart sank when he heard this, and his expression changed as well. He continued to move his lips and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's fine. Just follow behind me. I'll try my best to buy you some time to recover your mental strength."

On the other side of the hall, Momir couldn't hear Yimamu's words clearly. However, when he heard Fang Heng's words and observed Yimamu's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

His mental strength was exhausted?

That's right!

Even though holy fire meteor was a low-level holy element skill that consumed a low amount of mana, it could not withstand Fang Heng's excitement.

Ordinary people would be exhausted after releasing more than 20 streams of mental strength in a row.

He had just released it more than a hundred times! His mental strength should be at the bottom!

Momir suddenly felt that he had a chance.

Take advantage of his weakness to take his life!

However…

Momir looked at Fang Heng warily and felt that there might be something wrong.

Was his mental strength exhausted?

Or was it a tactic to lure them into attacking? Otherwise, why would the other party speak so loudly? Momir even felt that the other party was deliberately speaking loudly for him to hear.

Or was Fang Heng doing this on purpose?

Showing weakness to the enemy? Was he deliberately luring them into attacking?

But…

Did he really have the ability to continuously release the holy fire meteors hundreds of times and still have a large amount of mental strength left?

Momir didn't believe it.

He stared at Fang Heng, feeling more and more that Fang Heng was scheming.

Or was Fang Heng already on the third level?

He had boldly said that he had exhausted his mental strength to make him think that he was deliberately setting up a trap.

In fact, he was simply exhausted of his mental strength?

Momir's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Hey!"

Momir had an idea. He turned his head to look at the surrounding followers and said, "Are you going to stand here and watch? Are we just going to watch him win the final victory of this trial?"

The other followers looked at each other and were tempted, but no one said anything.

"To tell you the truth, there is only one person who can pass the trial!" Momir gritted his teeth. "Even if the rest of you are lucky enough to survive, it's useless for you to be chosen by the Holy Court. You will always be at the bottom of the Holy Court and can only be cannon fodder!"

"There's only one quota for the core members of the Holy Court. If we don't kill him, we'll be running away!"

Momir's words began to take effect.

Many followers cast hostile looks at Fang Heng, especially the remaining players.

Over the years, as far as the players knew, the only person who had become an internal member of the Holy Court through the God's Choice Ritual was the leader of the Idamudun gang.

Only the Idamudun gang understood the trial the most.

One of the players looked at Momir with suspicion in his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. Do you think I need to lie to you?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Fang Heng with even more unfriendly expressions.

The players frowned as they weighed the pros and cons.

At the same time, at the Prism Plane of the Holy Court, through the central crystal pillar, Fang Heng and the others' performance was seen by the judges of the Holy Court.

Everyone marveled at Fang Heng's powerful Holy Light affinity.

The excitement on Judge Kadar's face was beyond words.

Judging from Fang Heng's performance in the trial, his affinity with the Holy Light was top-notch, and his talent in spells was also extremely high!

It was so high that no one could understand it!

"Sanjay, did you see that? He's a genius who's hard to come by in ten thousand years. We should immediately invite the elders over to take a look. He needs to be nurtured!"

The person hosting the trial was Sanjay. He looked at the scene that appeared in the prism and could not help but feel a little shocked.

Seeing Sanjay remain silent, Kadar became even more excited. He could not help but raise his voice, "Sanjay, what are you waiting for?! I have a feeling that he is the next archbishop we are looking for. He might even become the first Pope on our continent! I can already see his potential! You must have seen it too! Right?"

Sanjay's attention was still on the prism projection. He nodded and said, "Yes."

"If you're worried, leave him to me. I'll teach him myself. Two years, no, I only need half a year! In half a year, I am confident that I can definitely train him into an outstanding judge! His strength is definitely not weaker than mine!"

Sanjay finally retracted his gaze and nodded, "Kadar, calm down. I understand how you feel. We need to wait a little longer. Fang Heng was able to control and be granted the Book of Creation, so he must be at least a trainee priest. There must be a record of his granting in the church. After verifying his identity, I will ask the elders to discuss it immediately. I will also consider your suggestion."

Kadar really wanted to say that there was no need to verify this. Could it be that the enemy had the ability to nurture followers who were proficient in the holy element to be spies?

Was this a joke?

Even the Holy Court itself had not nurtured such a rookie with such talent in the sacred study!

1318 Shattered

Helplessly, Sanjay was the host of the God's Choice Ritual, so Kadar could only say helplessly, "Sanjay, you've always been so calm and stubborn."

"Eh?"

As he spoke, Kadar frowned slightly. He noticed something and turned around to look at the prism.

In the Piety Hall, after hearing Momir's words, the followers became somewhat hostile towards Fang Heng, but no one really attacked him.

The player couldn't hold it in any longer.

After a short two minutes of bargaining, Momir and the remaining three players in the hall reached a deal, ready to work together to deal with Fang Heng first.

"I don't believe that his mental strength is that strong!"

Momir pointed at Fang Heng.

"Attack together!"

The three Holy Paladins charged at Fang Heng at the same time.

Momir glared at Fang Heng fiercely.

No matter what Fang Heng was planning, the worst outcome would be a failure.

The opportunity was right in front of him. He had to give it a try!

When Fang Heng saw the three of them rushing over, a smile flashed across his eyes as if his scheme had succeeded.

You still couldn't hold it in, right?

Fang Heng didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced. He immediately switched to the unclean gifted scepter beside him and took a step forward.

The two Holy Paladins on the right who were charging at Fang Heng saw the latter raise his scepter and aim it at them, and their hearts jumped to their throats.

It was over!

He was indeed lying!

His mental strength was still abundant!

The two Holy Paladins did not think about how to close the distance between them and Fang Heng. Instead, they immediately raised their shields and retreated.

"Whoosh! Swoosh!"

Golden light kept bursting out from the tip of the scepter!

A dense number of holy fire meteors pounced over!

The two Holy Paladins frantically retreated. They heaved a sigh of relief when they finally managed to escape from the range of the holy fire meteors.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Many holy fire meteors landed on the crystal pillar in the center of the hall, creating ripples.

Fang Heng didn't care about the players and stared at the crystal pillar.

His initial target was not these players, but the crystal pillar!

To be precise, he wanted to try attacking the crystal pillar to see if he could find a way to obtain the remnant page of the Book of Oaths in the middle of the pillar.

[Hint: You have dealt damage to the crystal pillar.]

The game prompt appeared on his retina, and Fang Heng was even more convinced of this.

Using the players as a cover, his main target was actually the most important crystal pillar!

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry! His spell-casting accuracy is limited!"

Momir was delighted and immediately shouted to the other players.

He found it! Fang Heng's weakness!

His skills were powerful, and he could cast spells continuously. However, the range and accuracy of his attacks were his greatest weaknesses!

"Boom! Boom!!!"

The chaotic holy fire meteors landed on the central crystal pillar and exploded again!

The two Holy Paladins immediately discovered Fang Heng's weak spot and immediately surrounded the central pillar to dodge the attacks.

Fang Heng seemed to have gotten carried away as well. He kept releasing holy fire meteors in an attempt to chase and attack the three Holy Paladins.

Yimamu frowned as he watched.

What was he doing?

The King of Qin circling the pillar?

Why did Fang Shuo not look very smart?

At the Prism Plane, seeing Fang Heng's actions through the mirror image, Sanjay's expression became more and more solemn.

The central crystal pillar was damaged, and the scene projected on the mirror gradually became somewhat erratic.

Was it a coincidence?

It felt weird.

"Is there any feedback on Fang Shuo's investigation?" asked Sanjay.

"Judge, there is a lot of relevant review information. In the past, we often needed half a month to complete all the God's Choice Rituals…"

"Got it. Go and urge them to speed up the investigation."

"Yes, sir!"

"Ka ka ka…"

As he spoke, the prism projection quickly dimmed.

"What's wrong? Can't see?"

A priest stepped forward and said, "Yes, Judge. The crystal prism is the source of the image transmission. After the prism is damaged, the image transmission will fluctuate."

"It must have been affected by the holy fire meteor skill." Looking at the flickering prism image, Kadar said, "The holy fire meteor is difficult to control, and the unclean power in Fang Shuo's hand is even harder to control. He accidentally damaged the crystal pillar."

Another judge chimed in, "Yes, his mental strength isn't bad, but it's a little weak in terms of control."

Kadar was in a very good mood and said, "There's no such thing as an all-rounded genius. It's not fatal if his spirit control is slightly weaker. Just his mental strength and Holy Light affinity are enough! "

"Chi chi chi chi…"

As he spoke, the entire projection suddenly darkened.

The hall fell silent again.

"Looks like the prism has completely lost its effectiveness."

"Sanjay, why haven't you said anything?"

For some reason, Sanjay felt that there was something strange about Fang Heng that made him feel uneasy.

"Yes, the prism has failed. There's no point in staying here. Let's go to Piety Hall and take a look."

After saying that, Sanjay strode forward and led everyone back to the Piety Hall. When he returned to the Piety Hall, the door was tightly shut.

The red color above the door represented the current state of the trial.

The trial was still ongoing.

Since ancient times, the God's Choice trial could not be stopped once it started. This was a tradition.

Everyone looked at each other and turned to Sanjay.

"It has always been a tradition not to be disturbed during the God's Choice trial. We'll just wait outside the door."

"Yes, sir!"

…

In the hall, Fang Heng pretended to chase after a few apprentice Holy Paladin players, but in fact, he had targeted most of the holy fire meteors at the crystal pillar in the middle of the hall!

[Hint: Your skill, holy fire meteor, has caused damage to the crystal pillar.]

[Hint: Your skill…]

A row of game notifications appeared on his retina!

Fang Heng had already noticed fine cracks on the crystal pillar.

Soon, it would come to an end!

Momir watched as Fang Heng's skills kept flying out, and his expression became even uglier.

Originally, he wanted to rely on positioning to use up all of Fang Heng's strength, but in actual practice, he realized that this was simply wishful thinking!

Fang Heng was a monster! His mana seemed to be unlimited!

"Everyone, we've already reached this stage. Aren't you going to make a move?"

Momir glanced at the remaining two players who had yet to join the battle and snorted. He took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and poured it down his throat. Following that, faint black lines continuously seeped out of his body, and his muscles bulged.

"Don't hold back! Attack together!"

Momir shouted loudly. With reddened eyes, he entered close combat mode and charged at Fang Heng from the other side.

Fang Heng noticed the change in Momir's body. He frowned and glanced at his mana.

After a wave of consumption, his mana was already at a relatively low level.

Unstable.

Tactically, it was better to retreat and wait for the mana to recover before engaging them!

Fang Heng made a decision. Just as he was about to retreat, a golden light suddenly burst out in front of him!

"Buzz…"

A dazzling golden light bloomed from the central crystal pillar!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The spiked balls of light that were originally attacking in the air exploded one after another! The exploding stars scattered from the sky!

Hmm? What was going on? Did the spiked balls of light actually explode? The trial ended just like that?

Just as the followers were wondering what had happened, another violent boom suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud explosion, the central crystal pillar in the hall exploded!

Fang Heng felt as if his vision was instantly enveloped by a golden light! He tried to force his eyes open to see the situation of the Book of Oaths' remnant page in the central crystal pillar.

However, it was impossible!

His eyes were enveloped by a golden light! Fang Heng had no choice but to close his eyes as tears streamed down his face.

Even if he closed his eyes, the game hint would still appear on his retina.

[Hint: You have been affected by the skill "Holy Light-Brilliance". As your sacred study talent is higher than 500, you are completely immune to the negative effects of the energy absorption of this skill.]

[Hint: Player's current energy points required for the advancement of intermediate sacred study 2.8.]

[Hint: Player's current intermediate level…]

So many?!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

He realized that the experience points required to level up his intermediate sacred study were soaring!

[Hint: Player's current skill has been upgraded to the intermediate sacred study.]

[Hint: You have been forced to pay 3,000 King of Gods' points. You have successfully advanced to intermediate sacred study. Your original skill-elementary sacred learning forgotten.]

[Hint: You have comprehended the skill, intermediate sacred study.]

Skill: Intermediate sacred study (Level 1).

Skill description: Intermediate sacred study. Through this skill, you can use most of the sacred study-related items and learn related sacred skills.

Skill description: Your spirit and will attributes will increase by 35 points.

Skill description: This skill can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 20.

[Warning: Your King of Gods' points are currently facing a deficit. All the new King of Gods' points obtained by the player will be used to repay the points owed first (the repayment points have an SSS-level priority). When the King of Gods' points are in a negative value, some functions of the player will not be available.]

The hints slowly disappeared.

What the hell? His King of Gods' points had to be deducted to level up! Furthermore, it was a compulsory deduction without a choice!

He even owed them game points!

Fang Heng thought to himself that the game was a little tricky.

The old debt had not been repaid yet, and a new debt had been added.

Normal players could not afford to learn advanced skills.

From the looks of it, other than sacred study, there was a high chance that the other studies would have their King of Gods' points forcefully deducted after they advanced to the intermediate level.

In the future, when he advanced to other academic fields, he had to be careful and save up some King of Gods' points to avoid being scammed again.

As he pondered, Fang Heng tried to open his eyes slowly.

The dazzling golden light around them had gradually dimmed.

A circle of energy light spots hovered around him, but it was in a state where it could not be absorbed.

"It seems that Holy Light is no longer able to provide experience points for intermediate sacred study. I have to think of another way to level up."

Fang Heng muttered to himself and looked around.

Less than half of the original 40 followers in the hall were left. They all had their eyes closed and were still absorbing the energy of the golden light.

Almost everyone was standing unsteadily, and from time to time, some people could not control themselves and fell to the ground with a thud. It seemed that they could not withstand the negative effects of absorbing the holy energy in a short period of time.

Fang Heng raised his head and looked ahead.

In the center of the shattered central crystal pillar, a dusky yellow page floated.

The Book of Oaths' remnant chapter!

The golden light in the hall was emitted by the remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths!

Fang Heng closed his eyes carefully and tried to sense it.

The feeling of being spied on disappeared with the destruction of the crystal pillar.

He could make a move!

Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng slowly walked forward until he reached the remnant page of the Book of Oaths that was floating in the air.

He slowly raised his hand and approached the remnant chapter.

Eh?

With just a slight thought, the remnant page of the Book of Oaths in the air seemed to have been guided and slowly flew into Fang Heng's palm.

[Hint: The player has discovered an item-Book of Oaths' remnant chapter.]

[Item-Book of Oaths (remnant chapter).]

Description: One of the remnant chapters of the Book of Oaths. It contains part of the Holy Light attribute power.

Description: Unable to activate due to lack of relevant conditions.

[Hint: The player has been detected to have mastered the intermediate sacred study. Condition 1 has been met.]

[Hint: Detected that the player's sacred study is much higher than the fixed condition of 100. Verification meets condition 2, weakening condition 3.]

[Hint: Detected that the player's spiritual power is higher than 50, comprehension is higher than 50, and verification meets condition 3.]

[Hint: The player can choose to bind the item-Book of Oaths (remnant chapter). After binding, the ownership will be confirmed. Trading is not possible. Forceful trading or plundering will cause the item to be destroyed.]

Eh?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

The last time he saw the Book of Oaths' remnant page, it was the same item description, but this time, there was an option to bind the item.

Fang Heng opened the game log and carefully checked the three conditions required to bind the item.

So the hint this time was because his sacred study had advanced to the intermediate level?

Fang Heng nodded and shouted, "Bind!"

A faint light appeared on the remnant page of the Book of Oaths again.

[Hint: The player has bound the current Book of Oaths (remnant chapter). The Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) will be automatically destroyed after the player dies.]

[Hint: Book of Oaths' remnant chapter current remaining energy: 5,218.]

Chi!

The Book of Oaths disappeared and was stuffed into Fang Heng's backpack.

That was it?

Fang Heng was puzzled. He flipped through the item hint again and found that there was no difference except for the additional remaining energy at the bottom of the description.

"Strange…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself. Seeing that the other followers in the hall were gradually waking up, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly retreated to where Yimamu was.

As the golden light in the hall gradually dimmed, the remaining followers who had not fainted slowly opened their eyes.

Yimamu also opened his eyes.

He saw that Fang Heng, who was standing beside him, also looked like he had just woken up.

What happened?

The awakened followers looked around blankly and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Momir turned his head and looked at Fang Heng with vigilance in his eyes. He shouted, "What did you do?! Did you destroy the crystal pillar on purpose?"

Fang Heng frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Tsk! Still not admitting it! Something was wrong with you from the beginning! Do you dare to say that you didn't do it on purpose?!"

Fang Heng shook his head and questioned, "Heh, do you have any evidence?"

"Stop talking nonsense with him! Let's kill him together!"

Momir shrugged his shoulders and quickly approached Fang Heng. The two players beside him also launched a surprise attack on Fang Heng!

Fang Heng stared at Momir and was about to raise his scepter when his pupils constricted.

What?

1320 Remnant Chapter

Before Fang Heng could gather his mental strength, the remnant page of the Book of Oaths that was originally in his backpack suddenly appeared in his palm. It then condensed into a golden flash and shot toward Momir!

"Swoosh!!!"

What was going on?

Fang Heng did not even have the time to react and stop the Book of Oaths' remnant chapter. The game hint on his retina quickly refreshed.

[Hint: The player has mastered the intermediate sacred study, activating the Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) passive skill, holy counterattack.]

[Skill: Holy counterattack (This skill is a passive skill and cannot be canceled. It will automatically lose its effect when its energy is exhausted).]

Description: When attacked by a hostile target within a certain range, the Book of Oaths will initiate a counterattack (this counterattack has a chance of destroying the enemy's attack). The counterattack will consume the remaining energy in the remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths.]

Description: Attack damage is related to the player's sacred study skill level, the player's attributes, and the player's sacred study talent.]

Not good! So it was a passive skill!

Seeing the passive description of the skill, Fang Heng only felt that it was troublesome.

He was just thinking of secretly taking away the Book of Oaths' remnant chapter and finding an excuse to pretend that it was destroyed in the explosion.

He did not expect that the matter of dying without a complete corpse would be exposed!

On the other side, Momir, who was charging at Fang Heng with his men, was even more surprised.

He had just sneakily pinched a magic scroll and hid it in his hand, ready to launch a sneak attack when he got close to Fang Heng.

Unexpectedly, before he could get close, a rune paper enveloped in golden light flew towards him.

What was that?!

The speed of the golden runic paper was several times faster than the previous holy fire meteor. In the blink of an eye, it was close to him!

Momir felt a huge threat from this.

D*mn it!

Whoosh!

Momir clenched his teeth and crushed the scroll in his hand! The entire magic scroll condensed into a fireball and smashed forward.

"Boom!!!"

What?

Momir's pupils constricted as he watched the fireball conjured by the scroll explode in mid-air!

The golden rune paper pierced through the fireball and smashed into his chest, sending him flying backward.

"Bang!"

Momir fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The other two Holy Paladin players who were about to charge at Fang Heng were stunned and froze on the spot.

…

Time passed by outside the Piety Hall.

They had been waiting for more than twenty minutes.

One of the young judges, who was obviously running out of patience, asked, "Why haven't they come out yet?"

In the past, the longest duration of the God's Choice trial was fifteen minutes. This time, there were many participants, so the number of spiked balls of light condensed also increased. In theory, it was normal to spend more time.

However, it had already been thirty minutes since the trial started, and there was still no movement. They could not help but feel suspicious.

"Ka…"

Suddenly, the red light above the main entrance of the Piety Hall slowly pressed down.

Sang Da's eyelids twitched and he said in a deep voice, "It seems like the results are out. Let's go in and take a look."

Pushing open the door, the scene inside the Piety Hall entered his eyes.

Everyone's face revealed a solemn expression.

The crystal pillar in the center of the hall had been completely shattered, and the unconscious believers were lying on the ground.

Where was Fang Heng? Did something happen?

Kadar was anxious as he scanned the hall. When he saw Fang Heng standing in the corner, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Fang Heng did not seem to be injured.

That was good.

The judges had already made a rough guess based on the scene they saw.

During the trial battle, the central crystal pillar was accidentally shattered, causing the entire crystal pillar to be destroyed.

As for the source of the destruction…

Sanjay couldn't help but look at Fang Heng.

The rest of the believers were still in shock and carefully hid in the back.

Sanjay turned to look at a believer hiding in the corner and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Being targeted by Sanjay, the believer felt the pressure on his body increasing sharply. He quickly knelt down and said, "Judge, we were undergoing the trial earlier. During the process, a few of them had a fight. The crystal pillar could not withstand the attack and suddenly exploded."

A few Holy Paladins who came with them squatted at the edge of the ruins of the central crystal pillar and checked for a moment. One of them quickly returned to Sanjay and whispered, "Sir, the remnant page of the Book of Oaths is missing."

The judges were shocked and looked in the direction of the central crystal pillar.

All along, the Book of Oaths' remnant chapter had been locked inside the crystal pillar as an important part of God's Choice trial.

Sanjay retracted his gaze and continued to ask, "What happened after that?"

"Then, we saw the Holy Light overflowing from the crystal pillar. The Holy Light was too dazzling, so I closed my eyes. Then, I sensed the power of the Holy Light, so I immediately began to absorb it. "

The believer lowered his head and carefully explained everything that had just happened, "When I sensed that the power of the Holy Light was gradually disappearing and opened my eyes again, I saw that they had started fighting again. Momir had just lost in the battle and was knocked unconscious."

Sanjay lowered his head and glanced at the unconscious Momir lying on the ground.

Momir's skin was covered in blood. It seemed that he had used some kind of short-term strengthening power and suffered a backlash.

"Judging from the wound marks, he's not lying…" A Holy Paladin was checking Momir's wound. He looked up and said, "Judge, the wound should have been caused by the power of the Book of Oaths' remnant page. It also has the negative effects of some kind of potion."

The judges frowned and looked thoughtful.

Sanjay slowly shifted his gaze to Fang Heng and asked, "Did you do it?"

"Yes, he made the first move. I was forced to retaliate. Everyone here can testify."

Fang Heng felt helpless as he slowly raised his hand.

He had already been discovered. It was better to be honest now.

"Buzz…"

The remnant page of the Book of Oaths floated in his palm, constantly emitting a weak light.

Everyone in the hall once again shifted their gaze to Fang Heng.

Kadar asked, "Fang Shuo, what's with the remnant chapter?"

"I don't know either. I'm just like them. When the pillar exploded, I closed my eyes and absorbed the energy in the Holy Light. When I opened my eyes again, this rune paper flew towards me."

Hearing this, the believers in the hall did not react too much to it. The judges seemed to have heard something extremely rare. Their expressions were different as they exchanged glances with each other.

Kadar's heart skipped a beat. He looked back at Sanjay and then stared at Fang Heng with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Fang Heng!

He was actually able to obtain the recognition of the remnant page of the Book of Oaths!

Genius! An absolute genius!

There was no doubt that as long as he was given a little more time, Fang Heng would definitely become the first Pope on this continent!

1321 Communication

There were a total of 38 judges in the Holy Court, and only less than half of them were recognized by the Book of Oaths!

Fang Heng's talent in the sacred study was astonishing!

The judges looked at Fang Heng with envy in their eyes and mixed feelings in their hearts.

It was not easy to control the Book of Oaths' remnant chapter. Many of them had spent a long time doing this, but this young man in front of them had actually completed it easily.

Kadar glanced at Momir, who had fainted on the ground. He sneered at Momir for overestimating his own strength and daring to attack Fang Heng.

"It seems that things are very clear now. The followers accidentally destroyed the crystal pillar during the trial, and the Book of Oaths' remnant chapter was never activated. It was also their luck that they obtained the strength of the Book of Oaths' remnant page."

Luck?

Was it really just a coincidence?

Sanjay's gaze was focused on Fang Heng.

He had a feeling that Fang Heng was hiding some secrets.

After hesitating for a while, Sanjay shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Dear followers, that's all for today's trial. You have successfully passed."

Sanjay turned around and nodded at the Holy Paladin beside him. He said, "Take those followers who have fainted for treatment and also take the rest of them away. Change into clean clothes and gather outside the hall."

"Yes, Judge."

…

Ten minutes later, Fang Heng and the other players changed into clean clothes and appeared in front of Sanjay and the other judges.

"Followers of the Holy Light, first of all, congratulations on passing the God's Choice trial. Next, I will bring you through a faith ritual to accept God's gift. Follow me."

Ignoring the excited followers, Sanjay turned around and walked down the stairs to the cathedral.

After a short ten minutes of thinking, Sanjay's suspicion towards Fang Heng did not decrease at all. Instead, it deepened.

Kadar walked beside Sanjay for a while and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Sanjay, this isn't the way to God's Enlightenment. Where do you want to take them?"

Sanjay asked, "Don't you think he has the potential to become the new Pope?"

Kadar naturally knew who Sanjay was referring to by 'him', and his frown deepened. He replied, "That's true, isn't it? Even the Book of Oaths has acknowledged his ability. What else do you have to doubt?"

Sanjay had always been suspicious of Fang Heng, and he had been testing him again and again, which made Kadar a little dissatisfied. He continued, "I will protest to the Elders Council."

"No need. I'll take you to see them now."

"Hmm?"

"I've already applied to the Elders Council to use the Book of Oaths' strength to connect to the holy realm. If everything goes well, the holy realm will personally verify his identity. The Elders Council will also be his witness."

Kadar's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Kadar, I actually hope that you are right. If Fang Shuo can really pass the test of the holy realm and ensure that there are no problems, then he will definitely be groomed as the next archbishop of our Holy Court. I have already recommended you to be his first teacher. You have a great responsibility."

Kadar could not help but clench his fists. He felt excited when he thought of the scene that Sanjay had described. He took a deep breath and whispered, "Thanks."

"Yes."

Fang Heng followed the team. He did not know what the two judges were whispering about, but he felt a little uneasy.

As he walked down the stairs, he had already entered the lower level of the cathedral.

They should be arriving at the Holy Court headquarters soon, right?

Soon, they arrived at the third basement. Sanjay led them to a wide door at the end of the corridor.

The accompanying Holy Paladin Johann gestured for all the followers to line up.

"Fang Shuo, step forward."

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he took half a step forward.

"The ritual requires some preparatory work. Fang Shuo, you follow us." Sanjay looked at the Holy Paladin again and said, "Johann, take the others to rest first, then bring them back in half an hour."

"Yes, sir!"

The rest of the followers cast envious looks at Fang Heng and were led away by the Holy Paladin.

"Follow me."

Sanjay said as he pushed open the door.

Fang Heng's pupils shrank as he entered the hall.

That was …

Behind the door was a long passage.

The two sides of the passage were filled with high-level priests and high-level Holy Paladins.

Golden light shone down from the huge crystal in the sky and landed on the stone platform in the middle of the hall.

A book was lying quietly on the stone platform.

Behind the stone platform, there were more than ten old men in missionary uniforms.

Sanjay brought Fang Heng along and walked dozens of steps forward. Then, he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Greetings, elders. The person beside me is Fang Shuo. The followers I mentioned to the elders have already passed the God's Choice Ritual."

The voice of an elder from the Elders Council sounded a little dry as he spoke, "Sanjay, we trust your judgment. There's no need to say more. The Holy Court is in danger now. We can't delay any longer. Let's start as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding."

Sanjay stood up and took a few steps back respectfully.

Behind the stone platform, the elders who were standing in a row raised their hands in unison.

Golden light gradually blossomed from the book on the stone platform.

Fang Heng followed beside Sanjay. He had a hunch that something was wrong when he heard their conversation. However, things had already developed to this point that it was impossible to escape.

He stared intently at the book on the stone platform, and an extremely strong premonition arose in his heart.

It's the Book of Oaths! That was the book he was looking for!

Along with a strong wave of holy strength, the book emitted a golden light!

Fang Heng's vision was instantly enveloped by a dazzling golden light. He had no choice but to close his eyes again to block the strong light.

When the light dissipated, Fang Heng opened his eyes again to observe.

Buzz …

In front of him, a circular spatial rift appeared above the book.

It was the regional time passage!

Fang Heng stared at the black spatial rift that was enveloped by the golden ring in front of him, his eyes flashing with surprise.

The time passage was empty, and visible distortions appeared in space.

That book!

It was definitely the Book of Oaths, and the rumors about the Book of Oaths were true!

The Book of Oaths could break through space!

The priests and Holy Paladins who were standing on both sides of the passage knelt down on one knee and prayed softly.

After waiting for a moment, a deep and distant voice came from the void.

"Why did you summon me, followers?"

Sanjay took half a step forward and said respectfully, "God, we have encountered a problem. We want to borrow your wisdom. Please help us verify the aptitude of this follower."

1322 Explosion

After half a minute of silence, the voice came, "Pious followers, I will fulfill your request, but I don't think you should waste the remaining strength of the Book of Prayers here."

"God, we found that this follower has a powerful talent that we have never seen before. We want to verify the authenticity of his talent and also want to understand his past."

After waiting for another half a minute, the voice slowly sounded, "Really? So that's how it is. A divine talent that even you are amazed by…I'm looking forward to it too."

"I will bestow upon you the Light of Revelations. This light can see through the past and present."

Past?

Oh no!

Hearing the sound coming from the passage, Fang Heng's heart began to beat faster.

This was troublesome!

Looking at the respectful expressions of the Holy Court's judges and listening to their conversation, there was a high probability that the other end of the passage came from the holy realm!

It was obviously a higher-level game world!

If they saw through his identity…

What should he do?

Fang Heng's mind raced. Before he could come up with a plan, a dark golden beam of light shot out from the open time passage!

Swoosh!!

The dark golden light shone directly at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng's pupils constricted. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he realized that he had been bounded in place by a force at some point!

Golden light surrounded him.

Not good!

Shrouded in the golden light, Fang Heng did not feel any pain. Instead, he felt that he was surrounded by warmth as if he was soaked in warm water.

In the next second, a strange scene appeared before Fang Heng's eyes.

He found himself tied to a wooden chair.

A distant chant appeared in his ears. In front of him, a group of people dressed in black linen had formed a circle and were performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

A woman slowly walked towards him.

Her figure looked familiar, but he couldn't see her face.

"Drip…"

A drop of blood dripped onto the screen.

The next moment, Fang Heng's eyes were filled with drops of blood.

He vaguely heard a voice in his ear, "This is impossible!"

"Boom!!!"

The scene in front of him shattered with this shout and there was a violent explosion!

Fang Heng suddenly woke up, and his eyes were once again filled with red light.

What was that?

For a moment, Fang Heng couldn't even tell what was real and what was illusory.

At the last moment, Fang Heng noticed the remaining game logs flashing on his retina.

[Hint: You have killed Judge Sanjay of the Holy Court. The player is currently in disguise. If the player chooses to give up the disguise, he will gain Empire reputation points…]

[Hint: The player has been determined to interfere with the trial with the help of an unknown force. No reward will be obtained for this kill…]

[Hint: You have killed the elite Holy Paladins of the Holy Court…]

…

After Mo Jiawei and Zhuo Lingfang returned to the foot of the Holy Mountain, they immediately found an inn nearby to stay in.

Zhuo Lingfang had received the order to keep a close eye on Fang Heng, but now that she had lost contact with Fang Heng, she could not help but feel anxious and mutter to herself.

"What should I do, what should I do…"

"We still haven't been able to contact Lord Fang Heng and Yimamu. It's been more than half an hour. Why is there no news at all?"

Zhuo Lingfang kept going online and offline to try to contact him, but every time, she would return disappointed. From time to time, she would poke her head out of the window and look in the direction of the Holy Mountain.

"Mr. Mo, I still can't contact Yimamu. Are they in danger?"

"Don't worry. With Lord Fang Heng's ability, there won't be any problems."

Mo Jiawei sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He seemed very calm. He felt that Zhuo Lingfang was still too young and did not know Fang Heng well enough.

From the time he knew Fang Heng until now, how many people who had been targeted by Fang Heng had a good ending?

To be honest, now that Fang Heng had infiltrated the Holy City, the one who should be worried should be the Holy Court.

Mo Jiawei waved his hand and was about to persuade her when he saw Zhuo Lingfang's restless expression.

Hmm?

Mo Jiawei suddenly raised his eyebrows.

He noticed that the cup on the table suddenly trembled slightly.

Following that, his feet seemed to shake.

Mo Jiawei couldn't help but look up at Zhuo Lingfang.

Zhuo Lingfang also felt a faint vibration coming from under her feet.

What was going on? Was it an earthquake?

"Boom!!!"

In the next moment, a violent tremor accompanied by a loud boom sounded in their ears!

Red light shone into the room through the window, illuminating the entire room red!

Not good!

Mo Jiawei immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the Holy Mountain outside the window. When he saw the scene outside, he could not help but feel shocked.

Outside the window, a fiery red pillar of light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Holy Mountain!

The earth shook violently.

When the followers outside saw this terrifying scene, they knelt on the ground and muttered to themselves as if they were praying.

No way! Why did he create such a big scene again?

Mo Jiawei quickly took out his binoculars and looked up at the mountain.

Helplessly, his vision was completely engulfed by the red pillar of light in front of him, and he could not see anything clearly at all.

"Thump, thump…"

Mo Jiawei suddenly raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth. A look of disbelief appeared on his face.

What was going on?

He could feel his heartbeat getting heavier, his blood flowing faster, and his temples throbbing.

The demon-hunting runes under his skin were flickering.

He could sense the strength of a demonic creature from the red light that soared into the sky.

His demon hunter bloodline had an extremely violent reaction, driving him forward, and giving him the urge to rush forward now.

Something's not right!

Mo Jiawei looked at the red pillar in the distance and tried to suppress the impulse in his blood.

The color and appearance of the pillar of light were too familiar. It should be a vampire without a doubt, but he had the demon hunter bloodline and was extremely sensitive to vampires.

He was sure that this power was not from the vampires, but from another more powerful demon.

What exactly was it? What could cause such a violent reaction from his demon hunter bloodline?

The blood-red pillar of light lasted for a full two minutes before it gradually descended.

Mo Jiawei panted heavily. Sweat dripped down his cheeks and his back was soaked in sweat.

Zhuo Lingfang was also shocked by this scene. For a moment, she forgot to go offline to report the situation. She could not help but cover her mouth and mutter, "This…"

As the red light pillar fell, Mo Jiawei clenched his trembling hands and raised his binoculars again to observe the Holy Mountain.

On the Holy Mountain, the original location of the Holy Court had been reduced to ruins!

Not good, could it be that this power was not released by Fang Heng?

What other demons were hiding on the Holy Mountain?

Mo Jiawei was a little flustered. He quickly opened the game log to check on Fang Heng's condition.

Fortunately, Fang Heng had not logged out of the game yet.

Mo Jiawei frowned and immediately pulled Zhuo Lingfang aside and told her, "Go, contact your team and ask them if there are any demons sealed on the Holy Mountain."

"Alright, alright…"

Offline.

What was that?

Holy Mountain?

After hearing the news from Zhuo Lingfang, the entire guild's upper echelons in the command room fell silent for a full second.

The players did not even dare to breathe loudly as they looked at Li Xue.

D*mn, Fang Heng had only been there for two hours when he went to the Holy Mountain, and the entire mountain exploded just like that?

Li Xue remained silent as she gradually digested the news. She immediately raised her head and asked, "How is Lord Fang Heng now?"

The subordinate replied, "I'm not sure about that for now. Zhuo Lingfang is following Mr. Mo to look for Lord Fang Heng in the Holy Mountain. I believe there will be a response soon."

"Yes, immediately search for clues related to the Holy Court and the demons and compile them into a report. I want to see the report in five minutes."

"Also, tell Zhuo Lingfang to relax a little and prepare her reports. Everything is under Lord Fang Heng's control. I still need to know the losses of the Holy Court as soon as possible. If there's anything you need, contact me immediately."

"Yes!"

Li Xue clenched her fists.

She felt it.

Fang Heng was still controlling everything behind the scenes.

He was setting up a trap!

He was playing a very big game of chess!

The reason why Fang Heng did not appear in the Land of Plague was probably that from his perspective, the loyalty of the entire Land of Plague was not important.

As players, as chess pieces, they could only see that the battle with Tang Wu was extremely crucial.

Fang Heng stood at a higher position and could see the whole situation clearly. He might have thought that the battle with Tang Wu was not important.

Li Xue had a feeling that once Fang Heng's plan was complete, everything would be settled and the enemy would have no room to resist.

Fortunately, Fang Heng was not an enemy. Otherwise, this feeling would be too terrible.

…

Up in the Holy Mountain, the members of the Holy Court and the followers in the periphery did not know what had happened.

First, the archbishop of the Holy Court was killed by Fang Heng, the feudal lord of the Land of Plague. Then, the entire Holy Mountain, including the headquarters of the Holy Court, suddenly exploded violently. More than half of the entire Holy Mountain was destroyed.

Could it be that this was a punishment from the heavens?

The followers were terrified. All they could do was kneel and pray.

The Holy Court's Judge Jerymaine led his Holy Paladins and hurried towards the Holy Mountain.

He was extremely anxious.

D*mn it! What exactly happened?

He was in charge of guarding the periphery of the Holy City tonight, so he brought his men and left the headquarters of the Holy Court's Holy Mountain to escape.

He had just finished his patrol and did not have the time to rest. Then, he saw a red pillar of light suddenly erupt.

What exactly happened in the cathedral?

Jerymaine urged his team to hurry to the cathedral.

Along the way, he saw a large number of people from the Holy Court rushing up the mountain.

When they arrived at the square outside the hall, Jerymaine's face turned pale.

He saw the ruins of the cathedral after it was destroyed!

Some of the Holy Court's Holy Paladins and priests who had arrived earlier had already begun to move and clean up the wreckage, trying to save the wounded under the wreckage.

"Inquisitor!"

The captain of the Holy Paladins saw Jerymaine and his men rushing over and hurriedly reported, "Judge, we are the captains of the Holy Paladins who are responsible for guarding the periphery of the Holy Mountain. Previously, we encountered a sudden explosion inside the temple. We have just carried out a preliminary investigation of the ruins and found that there are many casualties. A large part of the underground area is still under the ruins. We need to immediately carry out a rescue mission!"

Jerymaine shouted anxiously, "Quick! What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and save them!"

"Buzz…"

Holy Light radiated from Jerymaine's body and enveloped the ruins in front of him.

Huge rocks were pulled away by the power of the Holy Light.

The remaining Holy Paladins immediately went forward to help dig out the collapsed rocks.

Seeing the corpses being carried out of the ruins, Jerymaine's heart grew heavier.

Not far away, Mo Jiawei and Zhuo Lingfang had just arrived at the periphery of the square.

Due to the sudden explosion, the entire Holy Mountain square domain had long fallen into chaos.

Mo Jiawei and Zhuo Lingfang were mixed in with the Holy Paladins and followers who came to support them, so no one noticed their strange behavior.

"How's the situation?"

Zhuo Lingfang went offline for a short while before she quickly came back online. She nodded and said, "Mr. Mo, I still can't contact Yimamu. My team already knows what happened here. I asked them if there are any demons under the Holy Court, but they didn't get any news."

"Our team is trying to gather more information for evaluation. In five minutes, we will receive a more detailed official report."

Zhuo Lingfang paused for a moment before continuing, "Right now, my friends are mainly focused on dealing with Tang Wu's team that invaded Hani City. They can't help us directly for the time being."

"Okay, I got it."

Mo Jiawei nodded, feeling a little strange.

Wasn't it a demon?

Then what was with the sensation just now?

Was it related to Fang Heng?

Mo Jiawei temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and decided to focus on the present. He would think of a way to save Fang Heng first.

"Let's not care about this. Let's sneak in first and find a way to meet up with Fang Heng."

Zhuo Lingfang nodded repeatedly and said, "Mm, alright."

"Follow me."

Mo Jiawei and Zhuo Lingfang intermingled into the rescue team that the followers had spontaneously organized and entered the ruins of the cathedral together.

Around the ruins, most of the Holy Paladins and followers of the Holy Court were helping to clean up the wreckage and save the wounded. Zhuo Lingfang followed Mo Jiawei to a relatively hidden corner.

Zhuo Lingfang looked around carefully and asked softly, "Mr. Mo, this place is too big. How should we find Lord Fang Heng?"

"Yes, I have an idea."

Mo Jiawei took out a bottle of short-term perception-enhancing drug from his pocket, opened it, and poured it down his throat.

He had the demon hunter bloodline and one of his skills was to sense the presence of demons and the existence of vampires around him.

Coincidentally, Fang Heng had the vampire bloodline.

In theory, after greatly increasing his perception attribute, he would be able to sense Fang Heng's approximate location.

"F*ck!"

He actually couldn't sense it!

Mo Jiawei tried to close his eyes to sense for a moment, but he quickly opened his eyes and gasped.

"Hiss!"

Not only could he not sense any vampire aura, but the lingering demonic aura in the vicinity rushed straight to his head.

He had only sensed it for a few seconds when he suddenly felt a freezing pain in his brain. It was so painful that he immediately stopped sensing.

Zhuo Lingfang asked with concern, "Mr. Mo? How did it go?"

"I'm fine."

Mo Jiawei waved his hand, took a deep breath, and patted his cheek. He gave up on using his demon hunter bloodline to find Fang Heng and muttered to himself, "It is unexpected that I still have to rely on this move in the end…"

Eh?

Zhuo Lingfang was stunned. Then, she saw Mo Jiawei take out an exquisite twelve-sided dice from his pocket.

1324 The Source

It hurt!

Fang Heng felt intense pain and his body twitched violently. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

A familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Yimamu?"

There were a few people standing beside Yimamu. They were all followers whom he had met a few times in the trial.

Fang Heng felt dizzy and heard an excited shout in his ear.

"He's still alive! Come over and help!"

The Holy Paladin Johann immediately rushed over, and the surrounding followers also followed. They cooperated to move away the stone slab that was pressing on Fang Heng.

"Hiss…!"

The stone slab was moved, and Fang Heng felt a piercing pain in his right leg. He gasped.

"Don't move first. Your leg is broken."

Johann reached out and pressed his hand on Fang Heng's shoulder to signal him not to move. Then, he nodded at the two followers behind him. He said, "Healing spell."

The two of them walked forward. One of them opened the Book of Creation and cast a healing prayer. The other followers also cast healing spells.

[Hint: You have received the healing effect of the healing prayer. Your HP has continuously recovered. The recovery effect will be interrupted in battle.]

[Hint: The player's right leg is currently fractured and is healing under the healing spell effect. This state is slowly recovering. Any battle or running behavior may aggravate this state. Current recovery time: 2 hours 53 minutes.]

A gentle holy aura enveloped the injured area, and the pain in Fang Heng's body lessened slightly.

"Thank you."

Johann asked, "Fang Shuo, what just happened here?"

Just like Yimamu, the followers all looked at Fang Heng questioningly.

After separating from Fang Heng and the others, the few followers followed the Holy Paladin's guidance and entered a quiet room to wait. They did not expect to hear a violent explosion outside.

It was only when the explosion had completely stopped that Holy Paladin Johann led everyone out to investigate.

The entire lower half of the cathedral was under the rubble, and the entrance to the hall where Fang Heng was was also blocked by a large amount of gravel.

Johann spent a lot of effort clearing the stones that were blocking the way and breaking through the door.

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment and looked around.

Looking at the hall that was already half destroyed, the scenes before he fainted gradually replayed in his mind.

Explosion…

Right, there was an explosion here!

Fang Heng looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"

Johann shook his head with a heavy expression. They had already done a quick check after entering the hall. There were many dead Holy Paladins and priests on the floor of the hall. Fang Heng was the first to be found among the crushed ruins.

The others had not been discovered yet. They might have been buried deeper in the ruins, or they might have died in the explosion without a corpse.

Johann determined that the hall was the source of the previous explosion.

And now, Fang Heng was the only witness.

Only he knew what had happened here!

Johann pressed Fang Heng's shoulder and asked with a serious expression, "Fang Shuo, I need you to carefully recall what happened after the judge brought you into the hall. This is very important to us."

Fang Heng had not fully recovered his memories from before the explosion. He tried hard to think and frowned. He tried to recollect, "I remember that the space passage in the holy realm opened…"

Johann's eyes lit up.

The holy realm's space passage?

No wonder Sanjay was so mysterious as to let them leave and even invited the elders to attend the ritual.

So it was to open the holy realm's space passage.

But why?

Was there something important that required him to open a passageway to the holy realm?

Johann temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to ask, "Yes, the space passage has been opened. What happens after that?"

Fang Heng once again carefully thought about every scene that happened before he fainted.

His memories gradually became clearer. He remembered the golden light that had appeared from the holy realm's space passage. There was also the illusion that appeared before his eyes.

Drops of blood dripped down.

Then, there was an explosion.

Wait, before that…

He seemed to have seen a special game hint.

No way!

Fang Heng thought of something and his pupils constricted. He immediately checked the game log.

He found it!

[Hint: You have killed Judge Sanjay of the Holy Court. The player is currently in disguise. If the player chooses to abandon the disguise, he will obtain the Empire reputation points and the heir to the Empire reputation points, but his affinity with the Holy Court will decrease greatly.]

Not only Sanjay, but more than a dozen elders of the Holy Court's Elders Council also died in the explosion!

The game system determined that he was the one who did it!

Fang Heng's brain worked quickly and he immediately came to a conclusion.

He was the source of the explosion!

Why? What was going on?

How did the explosion come about?

Johann saw the surprise that flashed across Fang Heng's face and asked, "What did you remember?"

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Johann, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

No, telling the truth was definitely not possible.

He had killed so many judges and elders of the Holy Court. If word got out, he would definitely be courting death.

If he was lucky, there would be no one else alive except him. He had to find an excuse to sneak past them!

He didn't need to lie for a long time. He only needed to lie for a short period of time.

What excuse?

Fang Heng quickly recalled all the information he had read about the Holy Court.

There it was!

Fang Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately pretended to be afraid and turned his head to avoid Johann's gaze. He whispered, "I know the details, but I think I heard them talking about God's punishment."

God's punishment?

Johann's heart trembled when he heard that.

So everything that happened just now was caused by God's punishment?

Thinking about it carefully, it was true that such a high-intensity explosion had directly destroyed more than half of the church. Even the judges were in danger.

If this wasn't the descent of God's punishment, then what was it?

But why?

What exactly did they do to anger the holy realm, to the point of even causing the holy realm to send down God's punishment?

Johann didn't know.

He was only an elite Holy Paladin, so he knew very little.

His mood was at rock bottom.

Ruined, everything was ruined.

When God's punishment descended, not only did a large number of judges, Holy Paladins, and priests that the Holy Court had nurtured over the years die under God's punishment, but even the entire Elders Council was destroyed.

This was the foundation of their Holy Court, the legacy of the Holy Court over the years!

Johann was extremely depressed. He felt as if he had been abandoned by God. Everything seemed to have become meaningless.

"Holy Paladin, we…"

Johann perked up and looked at the group of followers gathered around him. He said in a deep voice, "Search carefully again and see if there are any other survivors."

"Yes, sir!"

The followers responded and spread out again to look for survivors.

Fang Heng also picked up the scepter that had fallen not far from him and tried to stand up.

Without the fast recovery effect of the undying body, it would be very troublesome once he was injured. For instance, he had a mere fracture but it could not heal quickly.

Fang Heng could only try to use the scepter as a walking stick and take a few steps forward.

Fortunately, he could still move.

It would take up to three hours to fully recover from the fracture, so he could only endure it.

Yimamu was a little suspicious of what Fang Heng said. He moved closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what happened just now? Did you really not see anything?"

Fang Heng frowned. What he saw before the explosion was his biggest secret.

"I might have seen something, but I can't really remember."

"It's fine." Yimamu didn't think too much about it. He was even more determined to cling to Fang Heng's thigh. He patted Fang Heng's shoulder and said, "At least we're alive. We'll be blessed after surviving a disaster. Let's continue to watch the show."

Yes.

Fang Heng rubbed his temples, which were slightly swollen. He closed his eyes and carefully recalled everything that had happened in the hall.

The explosion was caused by him.

But why?

Why did it suddenly explode?

Recalling carefully, before the explosion, the passage to the holy realm had opened, and then…

Light of Revelation!

Was there a problem with the Light of Revelation?

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Fang Heng thought of something. He opened his eyes and looked coldly at the area in front of him that was crushed by a large piece of shrapnel.

Forget about the Light of Revelation. The Book of Oaths was more important now!

The book on the stone platform was undoubtedly the Book of Oaths!

It was it that opened the chaotic passage to the holy realm. Then, a strange explosion occurred.

If he remembered correctly, the Book of Oaths should be there.

Fang Heng's goal was clear. His ultimate goal in coming to the Holy Court was to obtain the Book of Oaths!

"Yimamu."

Yimamu was stunned. He noticed that Fang Heng's gaze had become sharp in an instant, and his expression could not help but turn grave. He gave a sound, "Hmm?"

"Help me."

Yimamu raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright."

The two of them came to the crushed stone ruins together.

Fang Heng leaned on his walking stick and moved closer with great effort. He nodded and said, "Clean it up. I'm looking for a book. It should be buried underneath. Be careful."

"Alright."

Yimamu stepped forward and slowly cleared away the layer of shrapnel and stone slabs that covered the ruins.

When he reached the bottom, Yimamu's eyes lit up.

"You're looking for this?"

He lifted a large stone slab beside him and revealed a book. The book was already covered in dust.

That's right!

Fang Heng had carefully observed the Book of Oaths during the ritual in the hall.

That was it! The Book of Oaths!

Fang Heng looked at the Book of Oaths in Yimamu's hand, and his heart began to beat faster.

Yimamu received Fang Heng's confirmation and reached out to take the entire book out of the ruins.

He wanted to observe the item's attributes, but he found that the item's description was a series of question marks.

"What the hell is this? Is it important?"

Yimamu didn't think too much about it. He only thought that it was a mission item from his employer, so he handed the book to Fang Heng who was limping over, and asked, "What is this?"

"Book of Oaths."

What?

Yimamu's hands trembled in fear and he almost lost his grip. He stared at Fang Heng and whispered, "Is this the f*cking Book of Oaths?"

The legacy of the Holy Court, a legendary holy artifact, a carrier that could communicate with the holy realm!

The holy artifact-the Book of Oaths!

It was actually this tattered book in front of him?

To think that he could actually be able to touch a holy artifact.

Yimamu's hands were trembling.

He regretted giving the Book of Oaths to Fang Heng just like that. If he had known this would happen, he would have covered it up for a while longer. He would have taken a photo or something. He would not be lacking in topics to talk about after dinner for the rest of his life.

"Yes."

Fang Heng reached out and touched the Book of Oaths.

A series of game notifications quickly appeared on his retina.

1326 God's Punishment

A holy weapon!

It was actually a holy weapon!

Even though he already had some guesses in his heart, Fang Heng could not help but be overjoyed when he saw the attribute of the Book of Oaths!

This was the second time he had obtained holy weapon equipment. The first time was the Shrine of Bones, and the second was the Holy Court's holy weapon, the Book of Oaths.

There was no doubt that the Book of Oaths was worthy of being called a holy weapon based on its four additional skills!

Moreover, he had yet to pass the Book of Oaths' full check. There were still some skills in the Book of Oaths that had yet to be awakened, so there should still be room for improvement in his strength.

"Buzz…"

After binding the holy weapon, the book that was originally stained with dust emitted rings of golden light.

The Book of Oaths' remnant chapter that was lying quietly in Fang Heng's backpack was attracted by the Book of Oaths. It flew out of his hand and circled twice in the air before being absorbed by the Book of Oaths.

Fang Heng lowered his head and carefully checked the game log.

Currently, there were only 16 remnant chapters left in the Book of Oaths, and there was still a remnant chapter identification rune in the process of being generated.

In the hall, the followers were still clearing the rubble in the collapsed hall to find survivors. Suddenly, they noticed the Holy Light fluctuations behind them and raised their heads to search.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Heng.

The Holy Paladin Johann also noticed the rising Holy Light and looked at Fang Heng.

That was…

Seeing the book in Fang Heng's hand emitting a dark golden light, Johann's face revealed an extremely shocked expression.

Book of Oaths!

It was actually a Book of Oaths!

It was a holy weapon that only elders who were once archbishops were allowed to touch.

It had always been worshipped by the elders of the Holy Court.

Why would it appear here? It seemed to have been controlled by this follower in front of him.

That's right!

Communicating with the holy realm!

He should have thought of it earlier!

Johann suddenly recalled what Fang Heng had just said.

Opening the holy realm required the Book of Oaths' strength.

The various elders of the Elders Council were here to assist the Book of Oaths to open the passage to the holy realm!

Johann stared at Fang Heng with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

During God's punishment just now, only Fang Shuo alone survived, and now, the Book of Oaths automatically belonged to this follower.

Could this be God's will?

Was this follower chosen by God?

For a moment, Johann was bewildered.

Fang Heng used the Book of Oaths to sense the approximate location of the remaining dozen or so remnant chapters that were scattered outside. Then, with a flip of his hand, the Book of Oaths disappeared from his palm.

He was too lazy to retrieve them one by one. When the time came, he would just use the Book of Oaths' destruction function to slowly restore them.

When he raised his head again, Fang Heng finally noticed the probing gazes around him.

Johann had ten thousand questions in his heart that he wanted to ask Fang Heng. Before he could ask them, a sound suddenly came from the corner of the ceiling.

"Ka ka, ka…"

He looked up and saw that the ceiling in the corner had slightly loosened, and small gravel kept falling from above.

"Not good, it might collapse. Retreat outside!"

Johann frowned and shouted for everyone to leave the room.

"Boom! Boom!!"

As soon as everyone left the hall, several huge rocks fell from the corners of the room, sending dust flying.

Looking up again, there was a big hole that led to the outside world.

Mo Jiawei looked down from the hole.

When Yimamu saw the head poking out of the hole, his eyes immediately lit up. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Mr. Mo! Mr. Mo, we're here!"

…

On the Holy Mountain, the rescue operation was carried out in an orderly manner.

The other two judges who had managed to escape also rushed to the Holy Mountain to meet up with Jerymaine.

The situation was very bad. They judged that most of the buildings in the cathedral had collapsed, and the chances of survivors were extremely slim.

"I found something! Come and help! There's an entrance here! Someone is still alive!"

"Someone is alive!"

"Here! Come here!"

Noticing that Mo Jiawei had opened up a tunnel, a commotion immediately broke out around them. Judge Jerymaine also called for the rescue personnel beside him to help dig the tunnel.

Soon, everyone was busy extending a rope ladder down from the entrance of the cave.

Holy Paladin Johann led the group of people and climbed up the ladder one by one.

Jerymaine immediately called for the Holy Paladin Johann to explain the situation to him.

Mo Jiawei saw Fang Heng climbing up the rope ladder from below and immediately gave him a look. He quickly walked to his side and whispered to him.

"What's going on? Why did you make such a big deal out of it?" Mo Jiawei looked at the ruins and then at Fang Heng who was limping forward. He was surprised and asked, "Are you injured?"

Mo Jiawei felt that something was amiss.

Would he be injured?

"Yes, there was an accident."

Fang Heng replied in a low voice and scanned the surroundings, "We've got the goods. Think of a way to escape."

Mo Jiawei's eyes lit up and he gave Fang Heng a thumbs up, "Awesome."

A large number of rescue personnel from the Holy Court were gathered in the square. When they saw that Fang Heng was seriously injured, a priest immediately came over for emergency treatment.

Soon, more and more people gathered around and began to ask questions. They were all eager to know what had happened in the Holy Court.

On the other side, after listening to Johann's story, the three judges looked surprised.

The three of them looked at each other and then looked at Fang Heng, who had crawled out from the ruins.

God's punishment?

The chosen one?

The whole story sounded too shocking, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.

A Holy Paladin walked forward with a pained expression and said in a deep voice, "Judge, we've just searched the hall below the ruins and found the remains of two elders of the Elders Council. Most of the remaining areas have been buried by the ruins. The search and rescue work is still in progress. I'm afraid it's not going to end well."

The judges exchanged glances with each other, their eyes revealing unconcealable grief.

Archbishop Karkilla had died first, and now God's punishment had descended. The entire Holy Court, including the Elders Council, had been completely destroyed.

The Holy Court had never had such a dark moment since its establishment.

In the crowd, an elite Holy Paladin, Balzan, had a gloomy expression. He took half a step forward and said, "Judge, we don't know where this Fang Shuo came from. He was the only survivor at the scene. Forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid there's something wrong with him. We can't take his words seriously. We still need to carry out more verification."

The judges fell silent again.

Jerymaine nodded and said, "Your suspicion is reasonable. Let me ask that follower if he is hiding anything."

The judge and the rest of the people walked toward Fang Heng.

Fang Heng noticed them and immediately stopped talking to Mo Jiawei.

"Follower, please follow us."

Jerymaine led Fang Heng and the others to a quiet area on the side. He opened his Holy Light barrier and asked, "Follower, our next conversation is very important. I hope you don't hide anything."

Fang Heng composed himself and was about to answer when a line of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Hint (Your mental strength has reached the limit and triggered): Affected by the "Sacred Heart-Honesty" skill, there is a chance that you will receive negative effects when you lie. Please be careful (The effect of this skill is affected by the player's will and perception).]

[Hint: The Book of Oaths has resisted the effect of this skill.]

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, Judge. Please ask."

"We heard that you were led into the ritual hall by Judge Sanjay, is that right?"

"Yes."

"Tell us everything that happened after we entered the meeting hall. Don't hide anything, including all the details. The more detailed, the better."

Fang Heng's expression was solemn as he nodded. Then, he explained everything, except for the slight modification of the conversation on the other side of the space passage.

After hearing Fang Heng's story, the three judges hesitated again and looked at each other.

Another judge in a deep voice, "Are you sure you heard the word 'God's punishment'?"

"Yes, Judge. I'm sure I didn't hear wrongly."

The judges started whispering again.

Jerymaine asked again, "Why is there a God's punishment?"

Fang Heng shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Perhaps it's because of the abyssal demon." A judge's face was filled with deep self-doubt as he said, "The holy realm has long been dissatisfied with us regarding the abyssal demon…"

Jerymaine asked, "Why did Sanjay choose to open the passage to the holy realm?"

Fang Heng looked confused and shook his head.

Holy Paladin Johann nodded and replied, "I might know that. I've heard some of Judge Sanjay's conversations with Kadar. They think that Fang Shuo is extremely talented in the sacred study, so I guess they might want to invite the holy realm to test Fang Shuo's talent."

The doubts in the judges' hearts diminished a little.

Jerymaine looked at Fang Heng and asked, "You have received the recognition of the Book of Oaths?"

"Yes, I only found out about it from Johann later. I came across it after the explosion when I was searching for survivors with everyone."

Fang Heng's expression was calm as he opened his hand.

The Book of Oaths appeared in his palm, emitting a faint dark golden light. There was no mistake!

It was the Book of Oaths! This was definitely true!

Although the three judges still had doubts about Fang Heng's words and were still confused about the explosion of the cathedral, they were very sure about the Book of Oaths!

Fang Heng must have obtained the recognition of the Book of Oaths!

It was extremely difficult to achieve this!

The three judges exchanged glances again.

When Balzan saw the expressions of the judges, his heart couldn't help but sink.

Jerymaine nodded and said, "Too many things have happened today. You must be tired. Go to the inn at the foot of the mountain and have a good rest. I will continue to ask you questions tomorrow. Remember, keep quiet about what happened tonight. Don't tell anyone."

The Holy Light barrier that enveloped everyone disappeared. Jerymaine raised his hand, signaling the two Holy Paladins to bring Fang Heng and the injured down the mountain to rest.

Fang Heng nodded respectfully and answered, "Yes, Judge."

After watching Fang Heng and the others being brought down the mountain, Holy Paladin Balzan couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Judges, there are many suspicious points about Fang Shuo. Please be careful not to make a misjudgment."

"Yes, this is a serious matter. We will be careful."

Jerymaine pondered for a moment and continued, "Since the Book of Oaths made the decision, we'll temporarily nurture him as the successor of the Holy Court. We'll make plans after the dust settles."

Another judge agreed and said, "Yes. The explosion destroyed a lot of the records. It will take some time to collect and review the data again."

"As for the identity check, we'll push it back a little. Right now, we need to treat the wounded as soon as possible and count our losses. We've already lost too much."

"Also, we need to contact Judge Bisca as soon as possible. Tell her to come back and take charge of the situation."

When Balzan heard that the judges were discussing other matters, he couldn't help but frown.

He was the boss of the Idamudun Gang, and he was extremely lucky to pass the God's Choice Ritual and become an elite judge of the Holy Court.

But after a few years, his voice in the Holy Court was still not high.

Just now, he had obtained some information about Fang Heng from his dead player.

He knew that there was something strange about Fang Heng, but he never thought that Fang Heng would be the one who blew up the entire Holy Church. He just felt that Fang Heng was too lucky!

It was one thing for him to have such a high talent in the sacred study but he was also able to obtain the recognition of the Book of Oaths by chance.

Was he going to let others play?

Balzan's heart was no longer just filled with jealousy. Other than jealousy, there was also a deep fear!

Now that they had already fallen out with Fang Heng, even if there was nothing wrong with Fang Heng, their relationship with him had long been like fire and water.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!

Fang Heng joining the Holy Court was the biggest threat to him!

Balzan didn't know that Fang Heng didn't even put their Idamudun Gang in his eyes. He had already treated Fang Heng as the greatest enemy he had ever met in his life.

"Judge, be careful, I will bring some people to monitor them for a period of time."

"That's good. The city is too chaotic right now. The details of the explosion in the cathedral still need to be investigated. I suspect that it might be related to the plague aura. Bring some people to protect them. You must ensure Fang Shuo's safety."

A smile of success flashed across Balzan's eyes and he replied, "Yes, Judge. Leave it to me."

…

At the foot of the mountain, Fang Heng did not know that he had been targeted by the players again. He was led by two Holy Paladins to a hotel at the foot of the mountain.

After entering the hotel room, everyone finally escaped the surveillance of the Holy Court and felt relieved.

Mo Jiawei asked, "How's the situation at the Holy Mountain?"

"There's no problem with the Holy Mountain."

Fang Heng leaned on his crutch and walked to the window with some difficulty. He glanced out of the window.

There seemed to be only two Holy Paladins guarding the hotel, but in fact, there were many followers of the Holy Court hiding in the dark.

It was strange. The cathedral on the Holy Mountain had just exploded, and a large number of people were still gathered on the mountain to carry out the rescue mission. Why were there so many people gathered around the hotel to observe in secret?

Could it be that they were here to monitor him?

It seemed that the Holy Court's suspicion of him had not been eliminated.

"No, we can't wait any longer. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it will be. We need to retreat immediately."

Fang Heng made his decision and immediately turned his head and said, "Alright, now that we have the item, we will think of a way to retreat immediately according to the original plan!"

…

"Mm, alright! I'll go offline and communicate with the guild. I'll be right back."

As she spoke, Zhuo Lingfang's figure gradually faded..

Chapter 1328: Good News

"What? Item? Got it? Retreat?"

Yimamu, who had been listening to the conversation between the three of them, finally reacted.

Could it be…

He looked at them in horror and stuttered.

"No, wait, you guys… Don't tell me that your goal in infiltrating the Holy Court is to seize the Book of Oaths?"

Mo Jiawei blinked his eyes, feeling a little confused.

He thought that Yimamu had been with Fang Heng all this time and knew everything. He couldn't help but look at Fang Heng and ask, "You haven't told him yet?"

"What is it? Was it true? So the explosion just now was also because of you…"

Yimamu opened his mouth but didn't dare to continue. He felt like he was going crazy.

Therefore, including the violent explosion just now, everything was done by this young man in front of him!

The explosion killed all the elders from the Elders Council and a large number of judges of the Holy Court! It could be said that it had dealt a heavy blow to the foundation of the Holy Court!

How did they do it?

It was too terrifying!

These few rebels…

They even dared to think about snatching the Book of Oaths, and they actually did it!

Yimamu's gaze toward Fang Heng and the others gradually became a little terrifying, and he was speechless for a long time.

He had thought that he was hugging a thigh, but he did not expect that he was hugging a time bomb.

He was lucky that he hadn't been blown up.

What should he do now?

For a moment, Yimamu was at a loss.

The Holy Court's Holy Mountain and headquarters were all blown up. The elders were all dead, and most of the judges were dead. They had no leader now.

However, the remaining few judges were still preparing to groom Fang Heng, this rebel, as their successor…

Were these people going to completely ruin the Holy Court?

Then what was the point of him following the Holy Court? Did he think that he was not going to die fast enough?

"Don't worry, do your best to help us. Everything else has nothing to do with you. We will compensate you for the transfer fee." Mo Jiawei gestured at Zhuo Lingfang, who was already offline, with his chin and said, "Triple compensation. We're not short of money."

Upon hearing Mo Jiawei's words, Yimamu forced a smile and nodded awkwardly. He mourned for the Holy Court for half a second.

Alright, who cares if the Holy Court lives or dies? After this money is earned, hurry up and switch servers.

Two minutes later, Zhuo Lingfang came online again.

"It's already been arranged. The rescue team is already waiting in the forest area five kilometers east of the city."

"Yes, alright."

Fang Heng nodded and looked out the window again.

But how could he escape successfully?

Currently, he had a very troublesome 'bone fracture' negative effect on him, which affected his movements.

Everyone couldn't help but shift their gaze to the ground head snake, Yimamu. Mo Jiawei put his hand on Yimamu's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Hey, Brother, it's your turn to perform. As long as you can bring us out of the city, your mission will be considered complete. Three times the reward will be considered compensation for your mental damage. When the time comes, we'll even give you a wave of five-star reviews."

"I really thank you for your five-star rating…"

Yimamu laughed in the midst of bitterness. He felt resigned to his fate and made up his mind to go back and recuperate for a month after this business was done.

Playing games with this group of people was a huge blow to his mentality.

Yimamu patted his cheeks and perked himself up. Then, he looked out of the window.

"Although the Holy City has fallen into chaos, most of the people in the city are spies of the Holy Court. I just heard that several judges of the Holy Court suspect that the Holy City has been invaded, and the city gates have been closed. It will be difficult to sneak out."

Mo Jiawei glanced at Fang Heng and said, "Why don't we just fight it out?"

Fang Heng shook his head and said, "It's best if I don't. My combat strength has been greatly weakened."

Of course, he could fight. He still had a trump card-the Vampire King's coffin. The underground world's cave-dwelling beasts had been hunting monsters. Through blood sacrifices to the vampires' altar, coupled with the passive skill to reduce the cooldown effect, the cooldown time of the Vampire King's coffin was very fast.

However, Fang Heng didn't want to use his skills here in advance.

Moreover, with the 'bone fracture' effect, his agility and mobility had been greatly reduced. He might not be able to escape with just the Vampire King's coffin.

"Shh."

As Yimamu was thinking, he suddenly noticed something. He gestured for everyone to quiet down and pointed out the window.

"Look."

Looking out of the window in the direction Yimamu pointed, more than 20 followers in the Holy Court's uniform gathered in the direction of the hotel.

What was going on?

Everyone was puzzled. Before they could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

"Who is it?!"

"Mr. Fang Shuo, the judge has invited you."

…

Fang Heng exchanged glances with the people in the room and walked forward to open the door.

Outside the door, a few followers extended their hands respectfully and made a 'please' gesture.

"The judge invites you over."

"Now? Didn't we just meet?"

"Yes, we've discovered something urgent. We need your help to recall some details. It's very important. Please set off immediately."

Fang Heng frowned and probed, "Alright, my friend wants to go with me."

The followers outside the door peeked at Mo Jiawei and the others through the crack in the door and refused, "I'm sorry, the judge only invited you."

"Then forget it. Tell the judge I'm tired and can't remember anything. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Fang Heng said as he closed the door.

The followers outside the door reached out and blocked the half-closed door.

He said, "Alright, your friend can go with you, but only you can meet the judge."

…

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded. He agreed, "Alright."

Mo Jiawei and the others in the room did not know what Fang Heng was up to, but since Fang Heng had agreed, they followed him out of the hotel. Outside the hotel, the carriage was already prepared. More than 30 followers gathered around the carriage, their faces alert, and they looked like they were eyeing the carriage covetously.

Yimamu also felt that something was wrong and kept winking at Fang Heng. However, Fang Heng acted as if he did not see it and walked straight to the carriage.

"Sit tight, let's go!"

Everyone got on the carriage, and the carriage immediately sped towards the city gate under the guidance of the followers.

In the carriage, Yimamu immediately whispered, "This is bad. This is the way out of the city. The three surviving judges of the Holy Court are all on the Holy Mountain. It's impossible that there are other judges who want to see you. I'm afraid someone is plotting against us."

"Leave the city? Isn't this good? Didn't we dream of leaving the city?"

Fang Heng thought to himself that there was such a good thing. Initially, he thought that he had been discovered and decided to take a gamble.

He might as well find all the remaining high-level combat forces of the Holy Court and rely on the power of the Vampire King's coffin to wipe them out!

Fang Heng felt that it would not be a problem to rely on the power of the Vampire King to deal with the high-level combat forces of the Holy Court. He was afraid that the coffin would not last long and that there were too many followers in the Holy City. He would not be able to kill them all. Once the skill ended, they would be trapped to death. There was only a 50-50 chance of victory..
