Chapter 1598: Chapter 185 Dark Saint Invasion_5
The Pope’s eyes flashed with a gleam of divine light. He gently nodded and said, "Child, you are not only the Savior sent by the Sky God to save the people, but also my granddaughter-in-law. You must be mindful of your own safety. Saving the continent from this catastrophe cannot be done without you. While it is important to ally with the three Sword Saints, your safety is even more crucial. Do you understand what I mean?"
Feeling the Pope’s heartfelt concern, Ah Dai smiled slightly and said, "Grandfather, thank you. Don’t worry, my current cultivation level is almost on par with my master’s master back in the day. I will definitely return safely. Grandfather, now that the church is temporarily free of trouble, I’m afraid Yue Yue will worry, so I want her to come with me. At most, we’ll be back in two months. Once we return, we can discuss how to contend with those creatures from the Mountain Range of Undead."
The Pope looked at his granddaughter and said, "Yue Yue, listen to Ah Dai when you go to the Heavenly Mountain Range. Do not cause him trouble."
Xuan Yue playfully retorted, "Grandfather, how could I cause him trouble? Do you still think I’m a child?"
The Pope laughed and said, "In grandfather’s heart, you will always be a child. To be honest, seeing you return safely this time, bringing back such important information, makes me very happy and relieved. The future of the continent is in the hands of you young people. Since Ah Dai is eager to return to the Heavenly Mountain Range, I won’t hold you back. Be careful on your way. The outer defenses of the church are strict. To save time, just fly straight out. Yu Jian, make arrangements so that Yue Yue and Ah Dai do not encounter any obstacles."
"Yes, Your Holiness," Yu Jian replied respectfully.
After bidding farewell to the Pope, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, led by Yu Jian, arrived at the square in front of the Temple of Light. Upon reaching this place, the two almost simultaneously remembered the day when Ah Dai arrived just in time to stop Xuan Yue’s wedding. They exchanged a glance, full of deep affection communicated through their eyes, and their clasped hands tightened as if sharing a silent understanding.
Yu Jian smiled slightly and said, "You should go. I will make arrangements for the temple priests responsible for aerial defenses not to trouble you. Return early; the church and the people of the continent need you."
Ah Dai bowed respectfully to Yu Jian, saying, "Goodbye, Priest Yu Jian. We will hurry back." With that, he held Xuan Yue’s small hand and, enveloped in True Qi, soared into the sky.
The cultivation levels of Xuan Yue and Ah Dai could be said to have reached the pinnacle of Martial Artists and Magicians on the continent. With both exerting their full power, their speed increased rapidly, flashing toward the Heavenly Mountain Range, not much slower than when the little skeleton carried them.
Death Mountain Range. Central Peak.
In front of a massive circular altar, a person cloaked entirely in black was continuously chanting strange spells in an unusual language. A deep, eerie feeling permeated the area around his body, and the six giant golden symbols on the altar seemed to be trembling slightly. The altar was about three meters high, with a diameter of about fifty meters, forming a large equilateral hexagon. In the center of the altar was a spiral pattern with a diameter of three meters, which continued to extend outward, forming various strange symbols. At each of the altar’s six corners, there was a large golden symbol filled with Sacred Aura. Although a millennium had passed, the energy of these six symbols had not diminished in the slightest.
Taking a deep breath, the black-robed figure ceased the chanting of the spells. Five black figures appeared behind him, with one of them asking, "Sect Hierarch, how is it? How much longer will it take to open the portal?"
