Unable to find Earl Misar, they are now absolutely on the defensive.
"Do you know where he is holding the sacrifice? Didn't you say he was going to perform a blood sacrifice? This significant event, the Church must know the specific location, right?"
Baiyu asked.
Teacher Tony nodded and said gravely, "Indeed, the Church previously had control of one location, and Alfred invited me to go together, but that place was a trap."
It's not easy to find the exact place where Earl Misar is holding his council.
Even though the Church has a strong presence in Abaida.
It's still somewhat lacking compared to Earl Misar, who controls Abaida with Imperial power.
Finding the actual place where Earl Misar is performing the sacrifice should be extremely difficult.
"What should we do now? Surely we can't just wait here?"
Baiyu furrowed his brow.
"Indeed, we shouldn't wait here; let's go, or Abaida's Defense Army will arrive soon."
Teacher Tony said with a smile.
"And Earl Misar's actions?" Baiyu pursued.
Teacher Tony shook his head, "Wait until Alfred and the others return, otherwise, our next move might have a negative effect, and if we fall into Misar's trap, we might be in danger."
Seeing Tony speak like this.
Baiyu naturally wouldn't argue.
The three of them retreated to the Blood Church and began eating and drinking in a private room at the back of the church.
Since Alfred had already given a heads-up.
So Tony and the others encountered no obstacles.
About an hour later.
Alfred, already informed, arrived late and bore significant injuries.
His aura was extremely unstable, with a new scar deep enough to see bone on his face.
It's hard to imagine.
In a place like Abaida, who could force Alfred into such a condition?
"It's in the Earl's Mansion."
Alfred said solemnly, "Earl Misar's altar is underground in the Earl's Mansion, let's go there now."
Teacher Tony nodded, asking no questions.
The three, along with Alfred, stepped into the Spirit Realm passage.
A few seconds later.
Alfred stood on the street, where the surrounding pedestrians on the street had been cleared, with two groups tensely confronting each other.
One side was the enforcement team from the Scarred Church and Mechanical God Church.
The other side was the City Guard Army and the Earl's Mansion's defense forces.
Both sides were asserting themselves forcefully.
Clearly.
As the guards of the City Guard Army and Earl's Mansion, they absolutely wouldn't let others break in, not even the Church.
"Mr. Alfred, Bishop Iron Stone, you can't do this. The Imperial has clear regulations, the Church must not interfere in local affairs, you are stepping over the line."
At the entrance.
The leader of the Earl's Mansion's Personal Guard said.
Alfred took a deep breath, knowing reasoning with these people was useless, in this urgent situation, he could only use force to break through.
In an instant.
Both Alfred and Iron Stone struck simultaneously.
The guards here couldn't withstand the joint force of two strong opponents, and in an instant, they were knocked unconscious.
"Let's go, time is running out."
Alfred said, looking at the people behind him.
In an instant.
Members from the two Churches frantically rushed into the City Lord's Mansion.
Baiyu, Teacher Tony, and others followed close behind.
Alfred arrived at the main hall of the Earl's Mansion, and with the lead of an internal informant, successfully found the entrance.
In the deep, dark passage.
A straight, downward staircase extended into the depths of darkness.
On both sides were black walls, with strange runes on them, exuding powerful energy.
"Don't touch the walls, they have inscriptions from alien races with corrosive powers."
Alfred reminded.
Everyone held their breath and continued advancing down the staircase.
This staircase felt like a road to Hell, stretching downwards endlessly with no end in sight for a while.
As they walked about a thousand meters.
The inscriptions on the walls began to glow, and the walls on both sides started closing in, seemingly wanting to crush everyone.
At that moment.
Alfred pulled out a dagger made from black stone, and firmly carved a word in ancient mystical language, "Stop", onto the wall.
The two walls instantly stopped.
Alfred looked at the somewhat panicked group, "Keep going."
Everyone nodded and continued downward.
After walking about another thousand meters, a medium-sized platform appeared in front of them, connecting the descending stone steps to the platform, behind which stood a giant black marble stone door.
It was engraved with alien texts.
Baiyu took a deep breath.
This stone door gave a sense of being immovable.
Opening the door was naturally not something Baiyu had to deal with, the protagonist from the Mechanical God Church, Iron Stone, stepped forward at this moment.
He looked more like an iron man.
He had no legs, his lower half was a forward-angled iron block, moving by tracks and jets.
His upper half was mostly covered in metal.
With a jet-propelled charge, he reached the stone door.
Following that.
His arm extended, probing the stone door, and soon the symbols on the door dimmed and brightened successively.
Following that.
About three minutes later.
The stone door emitted a rumbling sound and slowly opened, revealing the vast world beyond.
Alfred didn't move.
Bishop Iron Stone and the members of the Mechanical God Church were the first to enter. Many of them had mechanical bodies, which made exploring unknown places more convenient than human flesh.
For example, if there was a plague or a deadly virus in the air behind the door, members of the Mechanical God Church could promptly detect it and alert those behind them.
And because many of their organs were mechanical, their resistance to plagues and viruses was high.
Once Bishop Iron Stone led the group inside, they immediately began testing the soil and air, analyzing it on the spot.
"Not much of an anomaly, the composition is similar to the air above ground."
Soon.
Bishop Iron Stone said solemnly.
Only then did everyone relax and step through the door.
Upon entering.
What first met Baiyu's eyes was an endless expanse of barren ground.
The sky was grey.
Covered with clouds and dust.
A dim light source provided a small amount of light in the sky.
This place.
Was not atop Abaida!
"That stone door was a teleportation device. We are now on another planet."
Iron Stone explained, "It seems this planet should be an abandoned planet, located in the Chaotic Star System, though the exact coordinates are unknown; otherwise, we could apply to use the Star Destroyer Cannon."
An abandoned planet is one without value or human habitation.
Like now.
An endless barren land, nothing grows, it's impossible for humans to survive here.
