The Vice President shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. What happened in the Dark City shook the entire Sunset Empire. The Emperor personally ordered his trusted ministers to deal with the matter there. All the news has been blocked. The Thieves Guild only got this information. We don't know the specifics. I think we can only wait for the news. "
The Lord said, "It's been so long. Have you found Hell King's disciple?"
The Vice President said awkwardly, "Our own people and the people of the Thieves Guild are looking for him, but it's like he disappeared into thin air. There's no news at all."
A Cold Light flashed in the Lord's eyes. He said coldly, "A bunch of trash. That kid isn't important. What's important is the Hell King's Sword. You should know how much benefits the Hell King's Sword can bring us. Immediately send more people. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse. Find him as soon as possible."
The Vice President wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his only arm and agreed. He knew the terror of the Lord the best.
After losing an arm, his strength was greatly reduced. He had lost a lot of value. If he couldn't find Hell King's disciple, it was very likely that the Lord would find a reason to kick him out of his current position or even kill him. In order to save his life, he had to find traces of that kid no matter what.
Did the Thieves Guild really not know the specifics of the Dark City? Of course not. As the most well-informed group on the continent, how could they not know such a big thing?
Phoenix Slayer was in her room reading the report from her subordinates. A cold light flashed in her eyes. Two days ago, when she received the news, her killing intent rose. The news said that most of the people who died in the Dark City had turned into dry corpses. She quickly thought of the death of her fourth uncle. Only the Hell King's Sword could cause such a result. After half a year, there was finally news of the killer who killed her fourth uncle. Moreover, he was in the Sunset Empire. It was time for her to take revenge. She knew that the Assassin Guild was also looking for Dumb, so she only reported part of the situation to her father. She hid the specific details on the grounds that the Sunset Empire had blocked the news. Only when others did not know about this news could he secretly take revenge. He crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, and with a burst of anger, it turned into a pile of powder.
"Humph! You are the murderer who killed Fourth Uncle. I will definitely not let you live. Just you wait, I will definitely kill you to comfort Fourth Uncle's soul in heaven. "
In the Great Hall of Light of the Holy Hall.
Xuan Ye and his father-in-law, the other Red Priest, Na Yen, were reading the intelligence report from the Sunset Empire. The Holy Holy Hall did not engage in production and was entirely sustained by donations from the believers. The royal family of the Sunset Empire would donate tens of millions of gold coins every year. Even if the other three countries added up, they wouldn't be able to reach this amount. The Holy Hall had been protecting the Sunset Empire not only because of the mission left by their ancestors, but also because the Sunset Empire was their biggest source of income. They knew that the dark forces in the Sunset Empire were running amok. However, for the sake of the Holy Hall's development, they could only turn a blind eye and pretend that they didn't know anything. Moreover, although the dark forces were running amok in the Sunset Empire, from the intelligence they received, they could not pose a threat to the Holy Hall at all, so they let them be.
Na Yen murmured, "It's impossible for the golden divine light to appear in the Dark City. Even people like us, who are closest to God, have never seen the divine light. How could it appear there? Could it be that God has appeared to warn us? " The other two Red Priests were not in the Holy Hall, so the intelligence report naturally fell into his and Xuan Ye's hands. Na Yen had always been in charge of the Sunset Empire's affairs. He was naturally nervous when such a big thing happened.
Xuan Ye never had a good impression of the Sunset Empire. He frowned and said, "It shouldn't be a miracle. Otherwise, we would have sensed it too. Hundreds of square kilometers have been razed to the ground. If we work together and have the support of the Red Priest, our forbidden spell can also achieve the same effect. Could it be man-made? "
Na Yen was very satisfied with his son-in-law. Not only was Xuan Ye the son of the Pope, but his strength was also respected by everyone. He had reached the position of a Red Priest at a young age and was the most likely candidate to inherit the Pope's position. When Na Yen found out that Xuan Ye liked his daughter, he even smiled in his sleep. "Yes, Ye 'er, what you said makes sense. However, this matter shouldn't be that simple. We must handle it carefully. "
A cold glint flashed across Xuan Ye's eyes as he said coldly, "Although I don't know how the divine light appeared, I know who did the bloodbath in the City Governor's Mansion." Only the Hell King's Sword can turn the corpses into mummies. Dumb, how dare you call yourself the Grim Reaper. Do you remember that I told you that if you use the Hell King's Sword to do anything evil, I will not let you go. Even Tiangang Kensei cannot protect you.
Na Yen was shocked, "You know who did it?"
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Father-in-law, I want to go to the Sunset Empire to take a look. I will handle it for you. "
Na Yen frowned and said, "Shouldn't we report such a big matter to Lord Pope before making a decision?"
Xuan Ye's heart stirred and he sobered up from his anger. He remembered Yue. Yue said that Dumb is the Messiah. Can I touch him? Regardless of whether Dumb is the Messiah or not, before I figure it out, my father will not allow me to touch him. It has been more than half a year. Yue has been in seclusion. Although my father didn't say anything about Yue's progress, I can tell from the excitement on my father's face that Yue's progress must be very fast. Pope's thoughts are all on Yue. If I go to deal with Dumb now, my father will definitely be very angry. Xuan Ye suddenly remembered that his father ordered four Holy Judges to monitor Dumb. His eyes lit up and he said, "Father-in-law, let's talk about this matter slowly. Use our influence in Dark City to pacify the people first. I will make a trip to the court."
Na Yen said in surprise, "What? You want to look for that fellow Xuan Yuan? Don't you know how angry he is? "
Xuan Ye smiled bitterly, "How can I not know? He won't give face to anyone except my father. However, he is my uncle and I am working for the Holy Hall. It should be fine. " The Holy Judges will only pass the news to Pope and the presiding judge. Pope has been supervising Xuanyue's cultivation. Since they couldn't find him, they could only look for the presiding judge.
Xuan Yuan was the presiding judge of the Holy Hall's court and Pope's younger brother. He suddenly disappeared when he was three and only returned to the Holy Hall when he was in his forties. With his superhuman ability, he took over the position of presiding judge. Xuan Ye would rather face the evilest enemy than his uncle. Xuan Yuan was very eccentric. Unless something big happened, he rarely left the Holy Hall. No one dared to approach him. The general affairs of the court were handled by the two vice presiding judges. He just quietly cultivated in the secret room alone. Except for Pope, he didn't see anyone. In the Holy Hall, although Xuan Ye was nominally on the same level as the red-robed priest, Xuan Ye clearly knew that his uncle, who was over seventy years old, was second only to Tiangang Kensei in terms of martial arts skills. He was far more powerful than the four red-robed priests. If this matter didn't involve Dumb, who might be the savior of the world, Xuan Ye wouldn't want to see his uncle.
Na Yen laughed and said, "Since you're not afraid of being rejected, you can go ahead. I'll leave this matter to you. I'm getting old, so I need to enjoy myself for a few more days. By the way, I haven't seen Yue for more than half a year. Is she still in closed-door cultivation? Lord Pope, Yue is just a sixteen-year-old child. What if she gets tired? "He has always loved his granddaughter the most. When his daughter was young, he was too strict with Nasha in order to let her have a place in the Holy Hall. Na Yen almost poured out all his feelings for his granddaughter, which made Nasha jealous of her.
Xuan Ye sighed. How can I not miss my daughter? Nasha has mentioned several times that she wants to see her daughter, but how can I ask my father? " My father is very secretive about Yue. Even I don't know the specific situation. It seems that we can only wait. Father-in-law, you go rest first. I'll go find uncle now. "After saying that, he saluted to Na Yen and walked out of the Hall of Light.
After leaving the Hall of Light, Xuan Ye walked alone towards the Magistrate's office in the northeast. The Magistrate's office was built next to the other halls of the Holy Hall. Thousands of judges lived in the Magistrate's office.
"Ah! Isn't this the Cardinal? What brings you here? "A clear and bright voice rang out.
Xuan Ye fixed his eyes on the voice. It was Bylon Ma, one of the two vice presiding judges of the Magistrate's office. Bylon Ma was about the same age as Xuan Ye. He was the son of the former presiding judge. They grew up together and had a very close relationship. He was about 1.7 meters tall and had an ordinary appearance. However, he had extraordinary skills. He was good at using a light short blade. At the age of 37, he became the vice presiding judge with his own strength. He was the best candidate for the next presiding judge.
Xuan Ye walked towards his old friend and smiled, "What's wrong, Ba? Don't you welcome me?"
Barbulun laughed heartily as he looked at his close friend. "Why wouldn't I welcome you? Ever since you became a Cardinal, we haven't spent much time together. Let's go for a drink when we have time. "
Xuan Ye said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? You've been busier than ever since you became a vice presiding judge."
Ba Bylon spread his hands and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. There are too many things to do, and our presiding judge is too lazy to deal with them. Only Uncle Feng and I are busy. "
Xuan Ye smiled and said, "Let's go. Take me to uncle's place. I have something to discuss with him."
Ba Bylon frowned and said, "Brother, I'm not trying to discourage you. Although you're the presiding judge's nephew, he might not want to see you. Do you want to be rejected? "
Xuan Ye smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't for something important, do you think I'd want to see uncle? Do you think I don't know his temper? Let's go. I have to go even if I have to! "
Ba Bylon laughed and said, "Since you're not afraid, I'll take you there. I want to see how you eat."
Xuan Ye said in a bad mood, "You're already a vice presiding judge, but you're still so childish." The two walked towards the inside of the court and gradually entered the tall building.
As they walked, Xuan Ye suddenly asked, "By the way, how are sister-in-law and my godson doing? I haven't seen them for a long time. "
Ba Bylon looked left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know sister-in-law's temper? It's been hard on me! She's been arguing with me for the past few days, making me restless. "
Xuan Ye said in a low voice, "Don't tell me sister-in-law kicked you out of bed again."
Ba Bylon blushed and said, "What do you think? I don't know how many times this has happened, but I can't do anything about it. I accompany Xiaoxin every day, but she always finds fault with me. " He was born to be a henpecked man. When he was young, he was already very famous in the Holy Hall. There were many goddesses who liked him. However, during a mission, he fell in love with a girl from outside the church. The girl looked like a celestial being. He fell in love at first sight, but she ignored him. She didn't even put him, a young talent of the Holy Hall, in her eyes. Later, he found out that the girl was the daughter of a great noble of the Radiant Empire. So, he begged his father, who was the presiding judge of the Holy Hall, to personally go and ask for her hand in marriage. After a lot of effort, he finally welcomed the beauty back. He married the love of his heart. Of course, Ba Bylon loved her dearly, but she didn't seem to have a good impression of him. No matter how he tried to please her, she didn't give him a good look. After 20 years of marriage, Ba Bylon was a well-respected deputy presiding judge outside. But when he returned home, he became a slave to his wife. His fear of his wife was known by almost everyone in the Holy Hall. He was a laughing stock. However, Barbulun did not mind. His love for his wife had only grown stronger with age. As long as his wife wanted something, he would definitely get it for her. The two had a son, who was nineteen years old this year. He had inherited his mother's good looks and his father's talent in martial arts, and had already gained some fame in the Magistrate's Court.
Xuan Ye shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself that his wife was still the best. "You have been married for so many years, but your wife's temper hasn't changed at all?"
Ba Bulun shook his head dejectedly. "You also know that it was my own wishful thinking back then. She didn't have any feelings for me at all. Even though so much time has passed, I've never felt that she liked me. But the more she behaves like this, the more I want to treat her well. If she truly likes me, then I'm willing to die."
Xuan Ye looked at Ba Bylon's sad face and quickly changed the topic. "What about my adopted son? How is his martial arts now? " The two families were good friends. Ba Bylon's son naturally accepted Xuan Ye as his godfather, and Xuanyue also accepted Ba Bylon as her godfather. Ba Bylon liked Xuanyue very much. He wanted her to marry his son as soon as possible. Hearing Xuan Ye's question, he quickly said, "How can my son be bad? I have taught him almost everything I know. He is just lacking a little bit. Last year, the presiding judge personally taught him for a month. This is an honor that even I have never had! In the future, this kid's future will be better than mine. Right, how is Yue? I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her. "
How could Xuan Ye not know what Ba Bylon meant? He smiled and said, "That girl is now practicing with His Excellency Pope. Has she been practicing for more than half a year?"
Ba Bylon laughed. "When did she change? But this is good. You and His Excellency Pope are the leaders of the Holy Hall. It would be a pity if Yue couldn't inherit your divine powers. Our children have grown up and we are old. Have you thought about what I said to you last time? Why don't we decide on our child's marriage first? That silly boy of mine is just like me in the past. He's so infatuated with your Yue Yue. He told me long ago that he wouldn't marry anyone other than Yue Yue. "
Xuan Ye smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he tell Ba Bylon about his daughter's relationship with Dumb? He could only hope that his daughter would forget that silly boy after practicing with her father. "Our children are still too young. My Yue is only sixteen. I don't want to marry her so early. Why are you in such a hurry? "
Ba Bylon laughed. "How can I not be in a hurry? Yue is so beautiful. There will be a lot of people chasing after her in the future. I don't care. Marriage is not urgent. But you can get engaged first. I will take it as a yes. "
Xuan Ye laughed in spite of himself. "You, you're already so old, yet you're still acting like a child. I didn't promise you anything. Let me go back and discuss it with Na Sha first. Besides, Yue Yue herself has to agree, I won't force my own daughter to do something she doesn't want to do." Actually, he was very willing to become in-laws with Babulun, but in this kind of situation, how could he agree?
Ba Bylon said with some dissatisfaction. "My silly boy is not good enough for your Yue. He is still making excuses."
"Ah!" Xuan Ye said. "Here we are. This must be Uncle's place of meditation." At this time, the two had reached a garden at the back of the Holy Hall. At the end of the garden was a lonely little house made of hard granite.
Ba Bylon stopped, a trace of fear appeared on his face. "Go by yourself. I can't stand the Chief Justice's temper."
Xuan Ye shook his head helplessly and walked towards the small room alone. When he was about ten meters away from the room, he could clearly feel the slight undulations of energy in the room. He could not help but sigh inwardly, and respectfully said in a clear voice, "Red Priest Xuan Ye requests an audience with the Presiding Judge." The two of them had the same registration in the Church, but the respect Xuan Ye had for this uncle of his was no less than the respect he had for his father, the Pope. He wrapped his voice in light magic and slowly sent it into the room. The energy in the room suddenly disappeared, and a deep voice rang out. "Who told you to disturb me? Don't you know I'm practicing?" The voice was deep and cold, without a trace of emotion. It was as if the Chief Justice didn't know that the person standing outside was his own nephew.
Xuan Ye's mind was slightly shaken by the deep voice. His heart shivered, and he hurriedly urged the Divine Power in his body to protect his body. "Your Honor, Xuan Ye has come to inquire about something important."
The deep voice rang out again. "Speak. I hope what you say will satisfy me."
Xuan Ye's mouth slightly trembled. "It's like this. About half a year ago, His Excellency Pope issued an order for four Holy Judges to monitor a person. Recently, the Holy Hall suddenly received information from the Sunset Empire that the Dark City's Master's mansion was massacred. From the way the people died, I believe it was done by the person under the supervision of the Holy Judges. So I came to ask you, where are the Holy Judges now?"
"Those people in the Dark City should have died long ago. Why are you so nosy? In the Holy Hall, only His Excellency Pope can command the Holy Judges. Why are you asking me? Hurry up and leave. "
Xuan Ye hurriedly said, "But the Holy Judges will send back some information every once in a while. These information should be in your hands."
"This is not important. Don't bother me anymore." A surge of energy came from inside the room through the wall. Xuan Ye was shocked and was already sent out by the energy. He landed next to Ba Bylon. Even with the protection of Holy Energy, he still felt like he couldn't breathe. This uncle of his was really unreasonable!
Ba Bu Lun snickered in a low voice. Seeing that Xuan Ye had met with a rebuff, he seemed to be very happy. Xuan Ye glared at him. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he said loudly, "Your Honor, a few days ago, I met the Big Dipper Sword Saint and exchanged blows with him. Don't you want to know the details?" Xuan Ye knew very well that his uncle's only hobby was to practice martial arts, and the Four Great Sword Saints had always been his goal. He had once said that by the time he was eighty years old, he should be able to reach the same level as the Four Great Sword Saints.
Sure enough, Xuan Ye's words had an effect. The closed door opened and a figure flashed out. In a flash, there was another person in front of Xuan Ye. This person was wearing a white robe. His hair and beard were messy. His skin was as smooth as a baby's. His phoenix eyes shone with Cold Light. It was the Holy Holy Hall's Judge Xuan Yuan. He stood one foot in front of Xuan Ye and said lightly, "You met Tiangang Kensei? Tell me, what does he look like? "
Xuan Ye felt that his whole body was bound by the surging energy. The huge pressure was constantly shaking his mind. He looked at his uncle and said, "Half a year ago, before Lord Pope ordered the four Holy Judges to keep an eye on that person, I went to Tian Gang Mountain. There, I saw the famous Tiangang Kensei. He looked like he was about the same age as me. Apart from his head of white hair, he looked like a middle-aged man from head to toe. His power was very terrifying. With a wave of his hand, he could use the clouds in the mountain as his weapon. He pierced a hole in the mountain peak far away. I was defeated. I didn't even have the chance to chant the incantation. He was the strongest warrior I have ever seen. Lord Pope said that in a one on one situation, no one in the world could be his opponent. "His whole body relaxed, and the huge pressure suddenly disappeared. Xuan Yuan placed his hands behind his back. His eyes flashed with a hint of confusion. He seemed to be imagining the scene of Xuan Ye meeting Tiangang Kensei. He sighed softly. "Looks like I'm still no match for him! The gap is too big. "
Xuan Ye noticed that his uncle wasn't as unreasonable as before, and hurriedly said, "Pope sent four Holy Inquisitors to keep an eye on Tiangang Kensei's disciple. Moreover, he has the Hell King's Sword, the most evil in the world. That's why I came to ask you about the whereabouts of the Holy Judge. This time, many people died in the Dark City. We need to understand the situation clearly. "
Xuan Yuan glanced at Xuan Ye. "A few days ago, we received news that the person who was being monitored killed people who deserved to die. He was still in the Sunset Empire. Moreover, this person has very strong abilities. At such a young age, his Dou Qi had already reached a very high level. According to the Holy Judge's report, his strength was not below any of the Holy Judges. Since he didn't use the Hell King's Sword, At the same time, this person also has very strong magic abilities. He actually summoned two dragons, a silver dragon with golden eyes and a bone dragon. The miraculous divine light in the Dark City was probably caused by them. Even I was surprised that they were able to rush out of the Dark City from thousands of soldiers and horses. I didn't expect that a disciple of Tiangang Kensei would also have such abilities. " It turned out that the four Holy Judges had been secretly protecting Dumb and the others. When they were besieged by Horton, the Holy Judges were ready to take action. However, Dumb suddenly summoned two dragons, which made them temporarily give up on the idea. Later, when Dumb and the others were surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses, they were watching from a distance. When the Holy Evil released the Dragon Incantation, the four of them couldn't dodge in time and could only hide together. Relying on their strong abilities, they resisted the attack that was like a forbidden spell and barely kept their lives. However, they were also seriously injured. They were the only survivors of the Draconic Incantation's golden devouring. Originally, they had lost track of Dumby and the others, but later, Dumby returned to the Dark City to seek revenge, so they were targeted again.
Xuan Ye cried out, "What? Summoning dragons? How, how is this possible? Summoning magic has long been lost. Moreover, there is no record of the possibility of summoning dragons in the books of the Holy Hall! "
Xuan Yuan snorted coldly, "The facts are in front of us. This self-proclaimed Grim Reaper did summon dragons, and two of them."
A chill rose in Xuan Ye's heart. Could it be that everything Yue said was true? Was Dumb really the savior of the millennium catastrophe? Otherwise, how could he summon such a powerful creature like dragons? Thinking of his agreement with Tiangang Kensei, he lost confidence for the first time. Although his abilities were outstanding, he couldn't imagine a dragon that he had never seen before. "Thank you, Lord Judge. I will report this matter to Lord Pope immediately and ask him to make a decision."
Xuan Yuan turned around with his back facing Xuan Ye, "No need, he already knows."
Xuan Ye was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, a white figure suddenly appeared beside Xuan Yuan, "Yes, I already know."
The person who came was Xuan Ye's father, the current Pope.
Ba Bylon and Xuan Ye immediately greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Pope."
Pope smiled and said, "We are all on the same side, no need to be so courteous. I was also shocked by this. It seemed that everything Yue Yue had said was true. Dumby had killed many people this time, but just as the presiding judge had said, they were people whose souls had been corroded by darkness. This matter is not enough to shake the foundation of the Sunset Empire. Although they are financially helpful to the Holy Hall, we will not support their dark forces. Let them solve this matter themselves. As for the Savior, it is better to let him develop on his own. It is not appropriate for them to interfere. Everything will be decided by God. Ye 'er, send an order to our people in the Sunset Empire. Ask them to help the local forces calm the people's hearts. "
Xuan Ye quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Pope."
Pope said, "Alright, you can leave. I have something to say to the Lord Judge. "Xuan Ye and Ba Bylon looked at each other, then bowed and left. Looking at their backs, Pope said, "Brother, are you still so obsessed?"
Xuan Yuan said calmly, "Martial arts is my only goal. My wish is to defeat the four sword saints. You should know this. "
The Pope sighed and said, "Actually, with your current skills, apart from the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint, you should be on par with the other three Sword Saints. Why do you have to go through all this trouble?"
Xuan Yuan said, "But Tiangang Kensei is my goal. If he can do it, I can do it too. Brother, you don't have to persuade me anymore. "
Pope sighed and said, "Go out and relax. Don't you want to see that young man?"
Xuan Yuan's body trembled. He said, "You are willing to let me leave the Holy Hall?"
Pope nodded and said, "You have stayed in the Holy Hall long enough. It is good to go out. However, you should know that with your current strength, it is still too early to challenge the four sword saints. I do not wish to hear the news of your death. As for that child named Dumb, I hope that you can see him for yourself. If he is really the Savior, I think you should be the motivation to stimulate his potential. "
