"But, Father."
"Leave!" The president's voice became stern.
Phoenix Slayer bit his lips and snorted angrily before turning around and leaving. The president muttered, "It seems like I really have to touch that guy's head. The Netherworld Monarch, the Netherworld Monarch actually dared to touch my people. Hmph! "
Two days passed by in a flash. Dumb, Xuanyue, and the Yanshi Brothers spent two peaceful days at the summit of Mount Tiangang. Occasionally, Xi Wen would look for Dumb and ask him some questions or give some pointers to Yanshi and Yan Li. As for Dumb, he wasn't willing to teach him anything. Ever since Dumby had felt that his strength was far from enough, he had been practicing the Rebirth Mantra at home for the past two days. Even when Xuan Yue came to invite him out to play, he rejected her. Although two days wasn't a long time, his Life True Qi had already made some progress. It was only a matter of time before he reached the sixth realm.
Dumb wasn't willing to accompany Xuanyue, but the fourth generation disciples of Tiangang School were fawning over her. They had never seen such a beautiful girl before. They surrounded her every day and brought her to see the beautiful scenery of the mountain. After two days, Xuanyue had already become familiar with these people.
"Dumb, Dumb." Xuanyue anxiously ran to Dumb's room. Dumb had just finished cultivating seven times and was about to rest and eat something. When he saw Xuanyue's anxious expression, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Yue. What happened? "
Xuanyue said anxiously, "Not good, Dumb, I can feel father's aura. I'm afraid he has chased us all the way here. What should we do? What should we do? Let's quickly run. "
Dumb held onto Xuanyue's cold hand and said, "Yue, don't be anxious. If your father really wants to take you back, you won't be able to hide. I remember the last time I met him in the Sorcerers Guild, he told me to take good care of you, but he didn't say that he would take you back to the Holy Hall. Perhaps. What business does he have in Tiangang School? "
Xuanyue's mood calmed down a little. She shook her head and said, "No, I won't. Among the four countries, the Hwasin Empire in the south had the least number of Enlightened Masters. Usually, the Vatican doesn't have much contact with them. Dumb, I have a feeling that Dad is here to take me back. Let's, let's run. "
Dumb hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright then. Let's bid farewell to Eldest Martial Uncle and the others first, then we'll leave this place. "
Xuanyue nodded again and again. She said, "Then I'll go back and pack my things. Hurry up and call Brother Yanshi and the others. We'll leave now." After saying that, she ran out in a hurry.
Looking at Xuanyue's anxious look, Dumb couldn't help but smile. He thought that only her father could cure her. If only she had a father who cared about her so much, that would be great! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Goris and Owen. In Dumb's heart, he didn't have a deep concept of his father. He had long regarded Goris and Owen as his closest people. Of course, now there was also Xuanyue. The more he spent time with Xuanyue, the more he found it difficult to extricate himself.
While thinking, he walked to the Yanshi Brothers' room and told them what Xuanyue had just said.
Yan Li couldn't help but laugh. "I really want to see how powerful this Lord Shaman is. He scared our fearless Xuanyue so much that she wanted to run away.
Yanshi said, "Alright, since we're leaving, hurry up and pack your things. If we don't have Yue Yue, our journey will not be lively. " In fact, they didn't have much to pack. They just stuffed a few of their clothes into their bags and that was it. When they were done packing. Xuanyue had already run in in a panic.
"Let's go, let's go. Father's breath is getting closer. I'm afraid he's almost at the top. We must go down from the other side later. "
Dumb nodded and held Xuanyue's little hand. "Then let's go say goodbye to Eldest Martial Uncle first, then we'll leave."
The four of them left the room and came to the room where Xi Wen was meditating. Dumb gently knocked on the door a few times and said, "Eldest Martial Uncle, I'm Dumb, I have something to tell you."
Xi Wen's voice came out. "Come in."
Dumb and the others pushed the door open and entered. Xi Wen was sitting cross-legged on the couch. Looking at the four of them, he smiled and said, "What, you want to leave? Master hasn't sent any news yet. "
At this time, Xuanyue couldn't care less about being reserved. She honestly said, "I, I feel that my father is almost here. I sneaked out from the Holy Hall. If he catches me, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out again. Uncle Xi Wen, please let us go first. After a while, we'll find the elves and come back to see you, okay? "
Xi Wen helplessly shook his head and said with a smile, "You little girl! If I were your father, I would definitely catch you and bring you back. Well, if you want to go, then go quickly. If your father is chasing you, he should be going to the back of the mountain. You can go down from the front, and then keep going west, you will enter the Radiance Province. Dumb, during this period of time, you must come back, understand? "
"I will definitely come back, Eldest Martial Uncle. Please say goodbye to Grandmaster on our behalf. "
At this time, Xuanyue's whole body suddenly shook, and her eyes became completely lifeless. Dumb felt the change in Xuanyue. He turned his head and asked, "Yue, what's wrong?"
Xuanyue murmured, "It's over, I can't escape. Father's Qi has been locked on my body. This time it's over. "
Dumb didn't understand what Xuanyue meant. Just as he was about to ask, he heard someone outside saying, "Headmaster, there are guests from the Holy Holy Hall waiting for you in the lobby."
Xi Wen's eyes flashed. He floated up from the bed and landed beside Xuanyue. He smiled and said, "Since we can't escape, let's face it. We're not enemies, so what's there to be afraid of? Let's go, I also want to see what kind of hero your father is. "He still didn't know that Xuanyue's father was one of the four red-robed priests of the Holy Holy Hall.
Dumb pulled the pale Xuanyue and followed Xi Wen to the lobby with the Yanshi Brothers.
Xuanyue whispered, "Dumb. What if Father wants to catch me and take me back? I still want to wander the continent with you! I, I don't want to leave you! "
Dumb felt warm in his heart and comforted her, "It won't happen. Even if he takes you back to the Holy Hall, I'll find you later. Yue, don't be nervous, your hands are sweaty. "
The distance from Xi Wen's room to the Sword Sect's lobby was less than 100 meters. Xuanyue's body and mind were experiencing incomparable suffering. In the end, it still came, and she couldn't hide anymore.
In the lobby, except for Xi Wen, the six second-generation disciples had already arrived. As soon as they saw Xi Wen, they immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, "Headmaster."
As soon as Dumb and the others entered the lobby, they immediately saw Xuan Ye in a red priest robe. Xi Wen said in surprise, "It's a red-robed priest, I'm sorry for not going out to meet you. I'm really sorry. "
As soon as Xuan Ye entered the Big Dipper Mountain Range, he found his daughter's aura. In order to catch his daughter as soon as possible, he tracked Xuanyue's aura and used the Light Flight Technique that he created alone. It took him a day to find the main peak of the Big Dipper Mountain, and then he rested halfway up the mountain to recover his magic power. He didn't expect that his daughter would go to Tiangang School. Although she hadn't seen Tiangang Kensei. But he understood the principle of a famous person. The Holy Hall and Tiangang School didn't have much contact, so he naturally had to be more cautious.
"Are you Tiangang Kensei? I've heard a lot about you. "Xuan Ye didn't even look at his daughter and said politely to Xi Wen.
Xi Wen smiled and said, "Lord Bishop, you're too polite. Tiangang Kensei is my master. I was not abandoned by my master and took over the position of the second generation Headmaster."
Xuan Ye was shocked. As soon as Xi Wen came in, he clearly felt the other party's strength. Unexpectedly, he was just a disciple of Tiangang Kensei. His wariness toward the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction increased.
At the last moment, Xuanyue knew that she couldn't escape. She lowered her head and walked to Xuan Ye. She murmured, "Dad."
Xuan Ye snorted. "You still remember that you have a father?"
Dumb walked over and said respectfully, "Hello, Uncle."
When Dumb and Xuanyue entered the room. Xuan Ye clearly saw Dumb holding his daughter's hand, and his disgust for him increased. He just snorted and didn't say anything.
Xi Wen said, "Your Eminence, please sit. I don't know why you have come to visit our school.
What's the matter? "Xuan Ye sighed and glared at Xuanyue." It's all because of this girl. She didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and sneaked out from the Holy Hall. Originally, I wanted to let her gain experience in the mainland and let her suffer some hardships. But who knew, this girl actually had the idea of exploring the Death Mountains. I had no choice but to catch her back. "
Xuanyue was shocked. She pulled Xuanyue's arm and begged, "Dad, don't! I don't want to go back to the Holy Hall. It's so boring there. I promise I won't go to the Death Mountains. Please don't catch me back. " Daddy, I'm begging you. "Back in the Vatican, Xuan Yue had used this trick every single time. Even the Pope couldn't do anything to her. Unfortunately, this time Xuan Ye had already made up his mind. Although his heart softened a little, he still said coldly, "Haven't you brought enough trouble for me? Don't be rude in front of so many elders. "
Xi Wen said, "Your Eminence, your daughter is actually very obedient. Although she's a little young, it doesn't seem inappropriate for her to roam the mainland. Moreover, Dumb is following her. Dumb is a kind-hearted child and his martial arts are not weak. With his protection, there shouldn't be any problems. " He had seen the relationship between Xuan Yue and Dumby very clearly over the past two days. He also liked this lively little girl very much, and he wanted to help them be together indirectly.
Xuanyue looked at Xi Wen gratefully and quickly said, "Yes, yes! Dumb has saved me several times. He would rather get hurt to protect me. Dad, don't worry. "
Xuan Ye looked at Dumb with deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Headmaster, it's because of Dumb that I'm even more worried."
Xi Wen frowned slightly. Both of them had inherited Tiangang Kensei's bad habit, which was to protect their own. Moreover, Dumb was the only disciple of his dead ninth junior brother. He loved this kind child even more. When he heard the disdain in Xuan Ye's words, he was naturally unhappy. "Your Eminence, why do you say this?"
Xuan Ye looked at Dumb and said, "When I first saw him, I thought he was a kind and good child. But, who knew that he was hiding the world's most evil sword, Hell King's Sword. This shows that he has an unusual relationship with the world's number one killer, Hell King. This meant that he had an unusual relationship with the world's number one assassin, Hades, who had killed countless people. The Hell King's Sword had been searching for the Holy Hall for many years. Do you think I can allow my daughter to follow a little demon? "
Xuan Ye's words were indeed a little harsh. Xuanyue was stunned, and Dumb was even more shocked. Although he knew that his identity was not worthy of Xuanyue's, he did not expect that Xuanyue's father would think of him like this. His voice trembled and his face turned red as he said, "I, I'm not a demon."
Xuan Ye sneered and said, "You still say you're not a demon? Let me ask you, who killed the thieves in the Elven Forest? Who killed the bandits in the Yalian people's territory? Nearly a thousand lives were destroyed by your Hell King Sword, and you still say you're not a demon? "
"No, no!" Dumb shouted frantically. All the blood in his body was boiling, and his brain was heating up. The scenes of him killing people kept replaying in his mind. He grabbed his hair with both hands and shook his head. "No, no, I didn't want to kill them. They forced me to do it. They forced me. "
Xuanyue looked at Dumb and felt a great pain in her heart. She wanted to go over and comfort him, but she found that her body couldn't move at all. "Dad, how can you say that? The people Dumb killed were all bad people! And if we don't kill them, they will kill us. "
Xuan Ye snorted coldly. He said, "Are bad people not human? That's thousands of lives. "
Dumb's body trembled, and a surge of warmth suddenly surged into his body. That homologous energy continuously combed his chaotic aura, and a gentle voice rang in his ears, "Dumb, calm down. If this went on … You will be possessed by the devil. Uncle will take care of everything for you. "
The aura in Dumb's body gradually calmed down, and he turned his head to look. He didn't know when Xi Wen had come to his side. Including Xi Wen, all the second generation disciples of Tiangang School had anger in their eyes. Xuan Ye's words not only insulted Dumb, but also Hades King Owen. Owen was their brother, and he was already dead. How could they tolerate outsiders gossiping about him?
"Lord Bishop, you should watch your words. Dumb is our third generation disciple of Tiangang School. I can guarantee that he has a kind heart. I feel that Dumb didn't do anything wrong by killing those people. Killing a bad person is equivalent to saving hundreds and thousands of good people. Moreover, when the enemy is threatening your life, if it were you, would you not kill to protect yourself? "
Xuan Ye was stunned. He didn't expect Dumby to have such a deep relationship with the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction. Even after knowing that Dumby had the Hell King's Sword, Xi Wen still protected him. Looking at the enraged experts around him, Xuan Ye couldn't help but feel nervous. If it was just one Xi Wen, he would still be able to deal with him. However, these seven old men weren't weak either. If two of them joined hands, he might not be able to deal with them.
Xuanyue was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed, "Dad, Dumb has never killed a good person, don't wrongly accuse him!"
Xuan Ye walked in front of Dumb, and the Cold Light in his eyes kept flickering. He thought to himself, I have also killed more than two thousand bandits, so I really can't blame this kid for killing indiscriminately. He coldly snorted, "It's precisely because he hasn't killed a good person that I have no intention of taking his life. However, his Hades Sword must be taken back by the Holy Hall. Also, you are not allowed to be with him anymore. You must immediately return to the Holy Hall with me. "
Dumb stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. He looked at Xi Wen for help. He actually wanted to hand over the Hades Sword, but it was the last thing Owen left for him, so he was somewhat reluctant to do so.
Just when Xi Wen was about to speak, Zhou Wen fiercely stood up and angrily snorted, "Your Excellency, you must see clearly that this is our Tian Gang Mountain, not your Holy Holy Hall. The dignity of our sect cannot be violated by anyone. Dumb is a third generation disciple of our sect. To tell you the truth, the Hades Sword you are talking about is our long lost junior brother. Now that junior brother is dead, the Hades Sword can be said to be his possession. We will definitely not allow outsiders to take it away. "
Xuan Ye was furious. Ever since he became a Cardinal, no one had ever dared to be so rude to him. However, Zhou Wen's words did indeed shock him. He never would have thought that the number one assassin in the world, Hades Sword, was actually a disciple of Tiangang Kensei. With these old guys around, it seemed like he couldn't achieve his goal. Did he really have to return to the Holy Hall to transfer people? But Tiangang School had the support of the entire Hwasin Empire. If this matter were to blow up, it would probably be very disadvantageous to both sides.
Lu Wen looked at Xuan Ye's face that was alternating between green and white. He knew that Xuan Ye was on the verge of losing his temper. Lu Wen and Xi Wen looked at each other, then quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Wen away. He said to Xuan Ye, "Lord Cardinal, I'm really sorry. My junior brother has always been reckless, please don't mind him. However, Hades Sword is indeed our junior brother who has been separated from us for many years. He was forced to do those things by the Society of Killers. Now that he is dead, we will no longer pursue his sins. I also hope that you will not look into it and do not insult him. As for the Hades Sword. I hope that we can find a solution that both of us are satisfied with. My master has always had a good impression of the Holy Hall, so we don't want any rift between us, am I right? "
Lu Wen's words were neither servile nor overbearing, causing Xuan Ye to be unable to react. He said in a deep voice, "Then how do you propose we solve this? The Hades Sword was originally discovered by the third Pope of the Holy Hall, but for some unknown reason, it was lost. When the 'Nether King' used this evil sword to rampage through the continent, our Lord Pontiff issued an order, ordering us to retrieve this sword at all costs. Now the Hades Sword is with Dumb. Do you want me to give it up? "
Xi Wen smiled and stepped in front of Dumb, "Your Eminence, we also understand the evil nature of the Hades Sword, but the dou qi of our school is able to counter it. I believe that Dumb has the ability to be its guardian and will not kill anyone. Otherwise, our Tiangang School will not let him go so easily. I believe that our school's guarantee is something that you can accept. "
With the reputation of Tiangang School in the continent, coupled with the guarantee of the current headmaster, it was indeed difficult for Xuan Ye. He knew very well that unless all four cardinals were present. Unless all four of the Cardinals were there, it would be impossible for them to contend against the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction. After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Ye said, "I believe in your school's guarantee, but whether Dumb can protect the Hades Sword with his current strength is still a question. How about this, as long as he can withstand my attack for five seconds without falling, I will acknowledge his strength. What do you think? "
Xi Wen was shocked. He knew that Xuan Ye had already made a big concession. He turned to look at Dumb, but Dumb had a blank look on his face. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. Xi Wen's heart was also pounding. He knew that what Xuan Ye said was very reasonable. Protecting the Hades Sword did indeed require great strength. Although Dumb had reached the fifth level of the Life Qi, Xuan Ye was still a cardinal, and his position in the Holy Hall was second only to the headmaster. Xi Wen didn't know much about magic attacks, so he didn't know if Dumb could withstand Xuan Ye's magic.
At this time, Xuanyue suddenly said, "Dumb, just give it a try. I believe you can do it."
Zhou Wen said, "That's right, Dumb, just give it a try. No matter how powerful his magic is, you will definitely be able to break it with the Hades Sword. "
Xuan Ye's expression slightly changed. How could he forget about the Hades Sword? If the Hades Sword were to be used, would he be able to withstand it? The legendary evil power made him feel a little afraid. After all, the Hades Sword had the reputation of killing with a single stroke.
Dumb shook his head, "No, I can't use the Hades Sword. When the Hades Sword is used, someone will die. Uncle priest, I am willing to use my own strength to test your magic. If my strength isn't enough to protect the Hades Sword, you can take it away. But, when I feel that I can protect it, I will ask for it back. "
When Xuan Ye heard that Dumb wouldn't use the Hades Sword, he couldn't help but feel relieved. His impression of Dumb couldn't help but change. He slightly nodded and said, "Alright, this place is small, let's go outside."
Xi Wen looked at his fellow disciples and gestured to Xuan Ye to follow him. Xuan Ye didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Xuanyue out of the door.
Xi Wen patted Dumb's shoulder and said to Yanshi and Yan Li, "You two are weaker, so it's easy to be affected by the aesthetic. Don't go."
Yanshi looked at the blank face of Dumb and said to Xi Wen, "Teacher Xi Wen, you must protect Dumb!"
Xi Wen nodded and said, "Don't worry, let's go." Saying that, he led Dumb and his fellow disciples out of the hall. Xuan Ye stood proudly outside while Xuanyue lowered her head and sobbed. She knew that whether or not Dumb could withstand her father's attack, she had to return to the Holy Hall with him.
Xi Wen said, "Bishop, let's go to the open space at the top of the mountain."
Xuan Ye nodded slightly and said, "Alright, please lead the way."
Xi Wen led Dumb and his fellow disciples outside. Xuan Ye didn't notice that among Xi Wen's fellow disciples, there was one less person.
The group went out of the courtyard of Tiangang School and arrived at the flat and spacious mountain top. Xuanyue suddenly raised her head and said to Xuan Ye, "Dad, don't restrict me anymore, your magic will hurt me."
Xuan Ye decided to go all out after putting forward the suggestion just now. He was determined not to let Dumb hold on for five seconds. When he went all out, it was indeed difficult to take care of his daughter. He quickly withdrew the seal on Xuanyue and said, "You go further away and use the Phoenix Blood to protect yourself. I will control the energy during the day."
Xuanyue nodded obediently and ran to the side. When she passed by Dumb and the others, she and Dumb's eyes met. Both of their bodies shook at the same time and revealed a complicated expression. When Dumb heard Xuan Ye say that he was a demon, he was already in despair, while Xuanyue was full of reluctance for the upcoming separation. Xuanyue bit her lips and said in a low voice, "Use the Dragon God's Blood to protect yourself. You must hold on! " The reason why Xuanyue agreed with her father just now was because Xuan Ye didn't know that Dumb was still carrying the Dragon God's Blood.
Dumb listened to Xuanyue's words. His eyes finally showed a trace of spirit and he nodded slightly. At this time, a low voice suddenly sounded in Dumb's ear, "Child, don't be surprised and don't move. You can rest assured and go compete with that arrogant kid. I'm here, so go without worry. "Dumb was stunned. This voice belonged to Tiangang Kensei. He looked around, but there was no trace of Tiangang Kensei at all.
"What are you looking at, didn't I tell you not to be surprised? I'm talking to you using the Sound Transmission Technique. Remember, when you are attacked by magic, use your fighting energy to protect your whole body. With the intention in your heart, no matter how the opponent attacks, your will must not move. Don't move your willpower, use your body as the foundation, and be like a mountain. "
Xuan Ye said impatiently, "Dumb, come on, as long as you can withstand my attack, I'll let you protect the Hell King Sword."
Dumb's body trembled. Xuan Ye's gaze seemed to be able to see through his heart, causing his whole body to tremble. The huge mental pressure made him unable to resist, and he could only lower his head and slowly walk forward.
"Dumb, this is a mental magic attack. Concentrate your mind, and store it in your dantian."
Hearing Tiangang Kensei's advice, Dumb's body trembled. The fighting energy in his body subconsciously moved, and in an instant, it covered his whole body. When he looked up, Xuan Ye's gaze didn't seem to be so glaring anymore.
When Xuan Ye saw that Dumb suddenly broke free from his mental restraint, he was also shocked. He coldly snorted and said, "From the start of my attack, as long as you can hold on for five seconds, you pass."
Dumb slightly nodded his head, and concentrated his mind, activating the liquid True Qi in his dantian. In an instant, it came out of his body, and turned into fighting energy. A thick white light condensed around Dumb's body, forming a thick barrier around him, and he made a defensive posture.
Looking at Dumb's appearance, Xuan Ye was slightly shocked. Compared to the last time he saw Dumb, his skills seemed to have improved a lot. "God's Fury, borrow your divine power, pour it into my heart, and eradicate evil." A golden light flashed, and a holy God's Fury appeared in Xuan Ye's hand. Xuanyue, who was far away, was shocked. She didn't think that her father would use God's Fury to deal with Dumb. However, it was too late for regrets. Xuan Ye had already started chanting an offensive spell. "Oh great God! You have endless divine power. As your loyal follower, I beg you, bestow the power of God upon me. " A huge white magic hexagram appeared under Xuan Ye's feet. A thick holy aura rose from the hexagram, and entangled with the golden light of the God's Fury. The surging energy caused Xi Wen and the others to slightly change their expressions.
Xuan Ye slowly stretched out his right hand, which was holding the God's Fury, and chanted, "Oh, the power of God! Condense. " The white light that rose from the hexagram quickly condensed into the God's Fury in his hand. After the God's Fury absorbed the light element, it suddenly shone with a golden light. For a moment, even the light of the sun in the sky seemed to be covered by it. Streaks of golden lightning surrounded the God's Fury, and it seemed like it could explode at any time.
While Xuan Ye was chanting, Dumb didn't stay idle. Just now, after Xuanyue reminded him, he remembered that he still had the Dragon God's blood to protect himself. So, while maintaining the shield of fighting energy, he chanted the spell that Xuanyue taught him in the past, and stretched out his hands. "Oh great Dragon King! Please lend me your endless divine power to form an indestructible shield, and protect the dignity of dragons. " At this time, after a few days of rest, his mental strength was at its peak. As he chanted the spell, a blue light shone from his chest, and there seemed to be countless light spots gathering around him. A faint white light appeared on Dumb's hand, and as he activated it, it gradually spread out, and a thick energy barrier was formed around the fighting energy. This was the strongest light magic that Dumb could cast with the Dragon God's blood — Guardian of Light.
Naturally, Xuan Ye saw the change in Dumb. Although he was very surprised, the magic in his hand had already condensed, and the arrow on the bow had to be fired. He chanted in a deep voice, "Go, God's Fury." This was a level-seven divine light attack magic. With the enhancement of the God's Fury, Xuan Ye cast it, its power was no weaker than a level-eight spell. In order to preserve his strength, and also because he didn't think it was necessary to use the level-eight spell, God's Judgment, so he used the strongest single-target attack magic he could cast. The God's Fury shone brightly, and golden energy roared out, forming a golden beam of light with a diameter of one foot, suddenly blasting towards Dumb's chest. Xuan Ye was afraid that killing Dumb would bring trouble to himself, so he still had a backup plan for this magic. If Dumb couldn't block it, he could control the magic to disappear at any time.
