Chapter 154: Chapter 35 - The Bishop Comes Pursuing_5
Ying Yi said: "I don’t know what happened either. Ah Dai fainted after driving away the thieves, and it seems he still can’t master the power of the Sword of Hades. Later, a large group of elves came, they accompanied the young lady and her friends deep into the elf territory. The elves’ senses are very sharp, so all I could do was follow from a distance. Somehow, once they entered a forest, I lost their traces. After wandering in the forest for a while, I still ended up circling back out. It felt as though there was some kind of ambush in that forest. I tested it a few more times, but to no avail. The day before yesterday, four of the young lady’s friends came out with a large group of elves and left in a carriage. I wanted to catch up to ask questions, but I was afraid the elves would misunderstand me. And I also received the news that you were coming soon, so I stayed behind. I think, the young lady is still among the elves."
Xuan Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "How is it that the lady has so many friends, who are they? Why didn’t Yan Fei of the Pu Yan clan tell me?"
Ying Yi replied: "There are two warriors from the Pu Yan clan among them, they didn’t come out. The four who came out are members of a small mercenary corps. They were originally intending to accompany the young lady and others to the Death Mountain Range, but for some reason they changed their minds and left."
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Come, let’s go into the Elf Forest." He vaguely felt that his daughter was not within the Elf Forest, for he could not sense her presence.
With Ying Yi’s guidance, Xuan Ye and his group walked deeper into the Elf Forest. The serene elegance of the Elf Forest made Xuan Ye can’t help but admire, but he currently did not have the heart to appreciate the scenery. He was anxious to find his daughter. If Xuan Yue were to enter the Death Mountain Range, even he would not be sure of being able to rescue them.
"Master Bishop, this is the place. Beyond this point, it seems like a labyrinth, I couldn’t penetrate any further." After a few hours of travel, Ying Yi stopped and explained to Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "This must be the magic array set up by the Elf Clan. You all fall back. I’ll try to see if I can break the obstruction of the magic array."
At Xuan Ye’s command, the priests and Silver Armored Judges stepped back several tens of meters. In their hearts, the Red Bishop was all but akin to a god.
Xuan Ye closed his eyes, sending his spiritual power into the magic array within the Elf Forest. As soon as he touched the magic array, he felt a strong energy current rejecting his spiritual power. He couldn’t decipher the complex construct of the magic array. Growing impatient, Xuan Ye opened his eyes and made a series of gestures in the air. A white hexagram hovered before him, radiating a holy aura. Xuan Ye constantly drew one symbol after another into the hexagram, the holy light growing brighter and brighter. If he wasn’t able to break the array, he could force his way through it, over the years his high position had made him a bit arrogant and in his mind, there was nothing on the continent that could obstruct him.
"Great God of the Heavenly Realm, I, your faithful believer, sincerely beseech you, please lend me your infinite divine power to dispel the fog before my eyes and bring back the light to this world. Light that shines on the earth and heavens". This was a level seven light magic spell. Used by Xuan Ye, its power was great enough to level a small mountain. As the spell ended, the white hexagram’s light suddenly converged. Xuan Ye held both of his hands as if supporting the heavens. He yelled, and a light burst out, a huge beam of light three meters in diameter, aimed deep into the Elf Forest.
A green barrier suddenly rose from deep within the Elf Forest, colliding with the white light emitted by Xuan Ye. Amid a loud rumble, the green barrier rippled before Xuan Ye’s onslaught but still held. Xuan Ye was taken aback, he channeled the divine power within him, communicating with the magic elements in the world, continuously converting it into holy power, the light kept intensifying. The green barrier projected by the Elf Forest trembled severely, appearing as if it could break at any moment.
As soon as the first wave of Xuan Ye’s "light that shines on heavens and earth" hit the barrier of the Elf Forest, the Elf Queen was already aware. The entire Elf City quaked under Xuan Ye’s onslaught.
The Elf Queen turned pale and immediately summoned the four Elf Envoys. Everyone wore a stern expression. The protective magic array of the Elf Clan was built up by the energy of successive Elf Kings. The power of the person who could directly challenge this magic array could be seen.
The Elf Queen said, "It seems we have invaders. The mage outside is very powerful, maybe even stronger than I. Get to the scene immediately, I’ll hold him off here. Don’t take action too hastily, we must ascertain who the intruder is first. But if they are an enemy, I’ll authorize you to kill."
