Chapter 2190: Chapter 2190: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole?
The Holy Tribunal is not much different in structure from the Dark Church. It merely replaces the dark tones with pure white.
Black and white, sacred and fallen, are supposed to be opposing forces, incompatible with each other. However, at this moment, within the Holy Tribunal, Fallen Angel believers dressed in black clothes and some Fallen Angels with black wings could be seen everywhere.
The people of Tianxi World all know that the two tribunals are essentially one. Though sometimes they might fiercely compete over certain resources, more often than not, they stand on the same front.
Just like now, they were standing together, gazing at the towering Divine Platform.
On the Divine Platform stood a soaring Divine Pillar, engraved with the image of a sixteen-winged angel. Below it, an enticing figure was imprisoned.
That figure appeared so petite under the Divine Pillar, yet it attracted everyone’s attention.
"Finally, we’ve captured this mad woman. So many of our brothers have died at the hands of the Sky Hunting Association she led." A Holy Tribunal believer sighed beneath the Divine Platform.
"Exactly, such a heretic should be cut into pieces. Imprisoning her here is too merciful!" Another person muttered.
"Are you really so naive? Do you think she’s just simply trapped there? See the black liquid in the imprisoning seal? That’s not mere water; it’s Black Jiu Spring. Staying in it feels like being burned by fire constantly."
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Of course, just watch. On the Postnatal day, the Heavenly Emissary Holy Festival, the Black Jiu Spring will be completely ignited, instantly burning her to ashes!"
"I think, for such a hateful woman, simply burning her doesn’t quench the hate. It would be better to hand her over, let every man in the tribunal have a shot at her, blow her apart with beauty intact, and not waste her lovely skin..."
This person spoke enthusiastically, even showing a trace of longing, as if fantasizing some alluring scene in his mind.
Just then, a sharp pain like being pricked by a needle shot through his back.
Annoyed, he turned around, only to find a four-winged angel before him. He quickly adjusted to a respectful manner and loudly greeted, "Lord Warren!"
The four-winged angel, called Lord Warren, nodded lightly, ignoring him, then glanced around the Divine Platform’s surroundings before slowly turning around and leaving.
The one who got patted didn’t pay much attention to it, continued his discussion, but soon felt a surge of overwhelming energy within his body. Before he could react, his entire body exploded violently, gruesomely bloody.
The explosion was so sudden that those around him couldn’t escape in time, instantly getting affected. None of those discussing with him escaped, all obliterated into fragments.
This incident immediately caused considerable chaos.
In the next moment, three powerful perceptions simultaneously erupted, sweeping towards the accident site. Soon, an eight-winged angel appeared.
But this eight-winged angel did not further investigate the scene and instead left directly after a cursory check, causing a stir among the believers.
Faraway, Warren watched this, a hint of malice in his eyes, muttering in a low voice: "Luring the snake out of its hole, huh? I’m not just any snakeweed snake, but the most poisonous and adept at concealment, Bamboo Leaf Green Tea!"
Leaving these words, he quickly turned, returning to his Holy Temple, instructing those outside not to step inside regardless.
Entering the Holy Temple, Warren suddenly weakened, slumping onto the throne beneath the statue.
The next moment, Ye Haochuan slowly stepped out from behind the statue, taking out several third-grade Five Elements Crystal Stones and began crafting Formation Foundations.
This time, he came alone without any assistance, and with his current strength, he couldn’t even handle an eight-winged angel, let alone the three present.
Thus, he had to use all means available.
Formations are naturally one of his strongest auxiliary combat powers right now.
Time quickly passed; Ye Haochuan hadn’t stopped for a moment throughout the day. Once he exhausted his Flower Energy, he would immediately take medicine to restore it, then resume crafting.
Finally, all twenty-four Formation Foundations, crafted from third-grade Five Elements Crystal Stones, were completed by Ye Haochuan.
After recovering his Flower Energy, Ye Haochuan once again used the Ghost Escape Technique to control Warren, carrying those Foundations out of the Holy Temple.
Warren arrived again around the Divine Platform, leisurely pacing as if strolling.
In several hidden grassy edges, he deftly dropped a Formation Foundation, then continued moving.
No one noticed that the places he stepped on had a faint trace of light flicker, then returned to calm.
Outlining the Array Patterns with his footsteps, this was Ye Haochuan’s first attempt. Although somewhat clumsy, with his exceptional memory and comprehension abilities, he had achieved a basic level of accuracy.
Seconds turned into minutes, and Ye Haochuan’s footsteps were about to complete a full circle successfully.
Just then, Xierui’s figure suddenly appeared, strangely staring at Ye Haochuan and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ye Haochuan’s expression slightly startled, he respectfully bowed, answering, "Lord Xierui, I’m worried that remnants of the Sky Hunting Association might come to rescue someone, so I’m checking here for any associates..."
Xierui’s expression remained unchanged, scrutinizing Ye Haochuan, and said, "The believer who exploded suddenly yesterday, was it your doing? Why did you do that?"
Ye Haochuan’s heart skipped a beat, thoughts racing, he quickly answered, "Indeed it was me. That guy was my servant, dared to speak ill of me behind my back, so I mildly punished him."
At this moment, if Ye Haochuan were to deny various reasons, it would clearly arouse Xierui’s suspicions more. He might as well candidly admit it.
The person wasn’t Warren’s servant, so he was betting that Xierui of the Dark Church didn’t know which servants Lord Warren of the Holy Tribunal had.
Xierui didn’t question further, rather observed Ye Haochuan’s every move, looking for signs of panic.
Yet ultimately, she failed to find any, for Warren, controlled by Ye Haochuan, consistently maintained respect, without any hints of nervousness in his aura.
After a long while, Xierui abruptly turned away; then a voice rang in Ye Haochuan’s ear: "Hurry back then, there’s no traitor here, no need for further investigation."
Ye Haochuan obediently agreed, yet his gaze was filled with fierce determination.
Upon arriving at the tribunal, Ye Haochuan had already used the Heavenly Eye to observe. He discovered Little Yishu and Li Yun Rui’er were all in Xierui’s hands.
He didn’t know Xierui’s intentions, whether it wasn’t to kill them, but he was certain Xierui harbored ill will.
"Dare to use my son, how can I spare you lightly?" murmured Ye Haochuan.
