Chapter 1390: Chapter 140 Xuan Yue Seals the Heart_3
Yan Shi sighed and said, "We have never wished to be enemies with the Holy Church; however, Ah Dai is our brother! As long as he’s safe, nothing else matters to us. Let’s hurry and pursue him. Perhaps he would have headed towards the Tian Gang mountain range. We must find him quickly and stop him from doing anything foolish."
Xuan Yue said, "Thank you, Brother Yan Shi. However, I will not go to find him. Ah Dai left, and my heart has turned cold. The fact that he had such little faith in our relationship, to not even confront me and verify but to choose to give up just by listening to some provocations from others. Even though I love him, I equally hate him—I hate his cowardice. I will never go to find him again. I am a girl; I have already done all that I could. If he truly loves me, he will pursue me in spite of everything. Brother Yan Shi, if you do find him, please tell him that if he does not come to the Holy Church to find me within a year, I will never forgive him. I will choose to marry someone else." Ah Dai’s departure had turned her heart completely cold, her inner pain was no less intense than that of the departing Ah Dai. Now that the energy of both Phoenix’s Blood and Dragon’s Blood had decreased greatly, she was simply unable to locate Ah Dai through the link of the Divine Artifact. With so many events happening within the Holy Church, as the granddaughter of the Pope, she couldn’t neglect the Holy Church for her personal emotions, not to mention that she was still unclear about her mother’s condition after her grandfather’s death. At this moment, she could only completely freeze her heart, focusing all her attention on the Holy Church’s struggle against the Dark Forces.
Yan Shi and the others were stunned; they had not expected Xuan Yue to react so vehemently. Looking at the delicate and astonishingly beautiful girl in front of them, they were all lost in silence. Xuan Yue suddenly turned around and swept her gaze over the remaining sixty or so members of the Church, and said in a deep voice, "From now on, I, Xuan Yue, will take on the position of Na Yan as the new Red Robe Priest and lead the Holy Church’s forces against the Dark Forces to the very end. If anyone objects, speak now." Golden light flared up around Xuan Yue like flames, the overwhelming Divine Power lifting her slightly off the ground. The strength of the Sacred Aura she contained was so powerful that even Xuan Ye couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. Elf Lake fell into silent awe. Under the rampage of the Divine Energy, Xuan Yue’s hairband suddenly snapped, and her long blue hair cascaded down. Her eyes glinted with a cold light, and at that moment, Xuan Yue seemed to have transformed into a goddess. She commanded in a cold voice, "All members of the Holy Church, head towards the direction of the Holy Church and move out." Without waiting for a response, she floated towards the northwest. Xuan Ye and Ballon exchanged a glance, sighed, and, giving a slight bow to the Elf Queen, they led the church’s members in following her.
Watching the figures of the Holy Church members fade away, the Elf Queen sighed and said, "Yue Yue has been hit too hard this time. Ah Dai is really such a fool; can’t he see whether Yue Yue truly loves him or not? Oh heaven! Why do you torment these two children so?"
Yan Shi said, "Aunt Queen, what should we do now? Xuan Yue seemed serious about what she said before she left."
The Elf Queen replied, "There is no other way now but to find Ah Dai as soon as possible and convince him to go to the Holy Church to find Xuan Yue. We cannot allow them to be separated just like this!"
Yue Ji snorted and said, "I think Ah Dai simply deserves it. Yue Yue is such a good girl, and he doesn’t cherish her. Yue Yue is right; he is too weak. How can he give up on something like this so easily?"
Olivia said with a wry smile, "Big sister, please don’t add to the chaos here. Her Majesty the Queen is right. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll immediately return to the Mage Guild of the mainland and mobilize the Guild’s forces to search for him. Kino, you should go back to the Tian Jing Mage Guild. With Mage Larthas’ influence in the Empire of Tian Jing, finding one person shouldn’t be a problem. Miss Yue Ji, please ask the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps of the Federation to help out. Brother Yan Shi, I think since Ah Dai is from the Tian Gang Sword Sect, you should notify his masters there. With the Tian Gang Sword Sect’s influence in the Empire of Huasheng, the south should be covered. As for the western Empire of Sunset City, we can only do our best and hope he has not gone there."
Yan Shi nodded in approval towards Olivia and said, "Your plan is good; let’s do that. If I’m not mistaken, Ah Dai has only three places he could go. One is to return to the Tian Gang Sword Sect, though that’s relatively unlikely; the second is to the Illusive Forest, where he might return to pay homage to his teacher Goris, but this is also not very likely." He paused there.
Yue Ji, being impatient, looked at Yan Shi and asked, "And the third place?"
Yan Shi sighed and said, "The third place is the place Brother Vila least wants Ah Dai to go—Empire of Sunset City. Ah Dai’s uncle died at the hands of the Assassin’s Guild, whose headquarters are in Sunset City. I think, unless something unexpected happens, the likelihood that Ah Dai went there for revenge is the highest. Sunset City is vast and filled with Dark Forces; it will likely be very difficult to find him!"
Olivia frowned and said, "What should we do then? The magicians of Sunset City are beyond the control of the Guild."
