Chapter 1594: Chapter 185: Dark Saint Invades
Early the next morning, everyone reluctantly parted and headed in different directions, leaving the Elf Forest. The Yan Shi brothers, Zhuo Yun, Kino, and Yue Ji traveled together, as Yue Ji decided to accompany Kino to the Tian Jing Mage Guild before returning to the Red Charming Clan. She wanted to visit the Mercenary Corps, and also convey news about the Church of the Dark Saint back to them. Meanwhile, Olivia and Ah Dai set off together along the original route, and they would part ways once they reached the Holy Church.
In order to shorten the travel time, Ah Dai summoned the extremely powerful Little Bone, and swiftly flew towards the direction of the Church, carrying himself, Xuan Yue, and Olivia. It was Little Bone’s first time leaving the Death Mountain Range and it was very excited, flying while constantly admiring the surrounding scenery. Thanks to its flying ability, in just three days, it had crossed the vast steppe of the Yalian Clan and arrived near the Holy Church. During these three days of flying, the Resentful Spirits had completely fused with their current body, gradually mastering the Black Dragon’s abilities. Initially, Ah Dai wanted to summon Sheng Xie to have it fly outside as well, but Sheng Xie sensed Little Bone’s power and voluntarily chose to stay in the Dragon’s Blood to train. As the lineage of the Dragon King, if it couldn’t even surpass its little brother, it would be difficult for him to accept. At this time, he was completely engrossed in rigorous training.
"Little Bone, land here; we’re about to enter the Church’s territory. You’re of an evil attribute, and it’s not good to be discovered by the Church’s priests and Holy Knights."
"Yes, master." Ever since the day Ah Dai successfully subdued the Undead Fairy Qian Qian, Little Bone admired him greatly, having wholeheartedly placed himself in the position of a servant.
Little Bone found a deserted location and steadily landed on the ground, its four huge dragon claws grasping the earth firmly, the black scales on its body appearing exceptionally majestic under the sunlight. Ah Dai gently landed holding Xuan Yue and Olivia’s hands. Olivia said, "Boss Ah Dai, Boss Xuan Yue, I won’t enter the Church with you. I need to quickly relay the matters from the Death Mountain Range back to the Guild and the entire Empire of Huasheng, so everyone can be prepared. This time, in the campaign against the Church of the Dark Saint, we will definitely surpass those bastards from the Empire of Sunset City, showing them what true power is." Ah Dai smiled slightly, saying, "Besides Beinelog, the Wind Magician, there probably aren’t many elites from the Empire of Sunset City that can participate in this mission."
Xuan Yue said, "Even if there aren’t, it doesn’t matter! The scale of our operation this time is unprecedented, requiring substantial financial support, and the Empire of Sunset has profited unfairly this time, they must cough some up. This time, it will certainly make Quan Yi heart ache; I believe he won’t dare not to give it. I really want to see what expression he’ll have when he receives the order from grandpa." The three of them simultaneously thought of Quan Yi’s pale bluish face and burst into laughter. None of them had any fondness for the Empire of Sunset City.
As the laughter subsided, Olivia bowed slightly to Xuan Yue and Ah Dai, saying, "Esteemed leaders, let’s part ways here. Travel safely, and we’ll meet at the Church again soon." After finishing, he cast an Acceleration Art on himself and swiftly headed towards the direction of the Province of Light. Watching Olivia’s green silhouette gradually disappear, Xuan Yue sighed slightly, saying, "Just the other day we were all together, having such fun, but now it’s just the two of us left."
After returning Little Bone to the Dragon’s Blood, Ah Dai wrapped his arm around Xuan Yue’s fragrant shoulders, smiling, "You always enjoyed excitement. Once everything is over, we’ll gather together again! Then we can settle down with our friends in a place of natural beauty, where we won’t have to travel incessantly, living a peaceful and leisurely life. The Illusive Forest and Elf Forest proposed by Teacher Goris or Uncle Harry’s small village are all great options for us."
Xuan Yue gently leaned on Ah Dai’s shoulder, whispering tenderly, "I do love excitement, but it must be with you by my side; as long as I can be with you, I’d be happy living anywhere."
Ah Dai softly kissed Xuan Yue’s fragrant lips, tightly embracing her delicate body, feeling each other’s deep affection. They were completely immersed in their visions of the future. Large cloud-like clusters floated across the sky, shielding the dazzling sunlight, as if the sun felt shy witnessing their affectionate embrace. With the sunlight obscured, the air gained a touch of coolness, and as the gentle breeze brushed their faces, they slowly awoke from their reverie. Xuan Yue coyly buried her charming face in Ah Dai’s embrace, bashfully avoiding his gaze. Ah Dai’s heart was filled with tenderness as he softly spoke, "Let’s go." Saying that, he held Xuan Yue tightly, enveloping her in a white aura of life force, and flew up, heading towards the Church’s Divine Mountain.
As soon as they entered the territory of Divine Mountain, Ah Dai noticed a large group of Holy Knights patrolling back and forth not far ahead. Each Holy Knight was tensely watching the surroundings, tightly gripping their knight swords, afraid of overlooking any potential threat, with defenses so rigorous seemingly reaching the point where even rustling leaves felt threatening. Ah Dai smiled at Xuan Yue, saying, "Look, how tight the Church’s defenses are; it seems like the Pope is pretty nervous right now!" Xuan Yue furrowed her brows saying, "This doesn’t seem right, the defenses shouldn’t be this tight; after all, this is the core territory of the Church!"
