Chapter 669: Chapter 185: The Dark Saint Invasion_3
Under the influence of Xuan Yue’s Space Magic, Ah Dai felt a bout of dizziness. When his surroundings cleared again, he found that he and Xuan Yue had arrived at the Temple of Light.
Xuan Yue slightly smiled and said: "Ah Dai, what do you think of my magic? This is my own creation. It combines holy Light Magic with Space Magic for relocation."
Ah Dai exclaimed: "It’s impressive! Utilizing the energy conjured by holy Light Magic significantly reduces the time required for you to use Space Magic, Yue Yue, you’re getting stronger and stronger."
The sound of a shrill whistle reached their ears. Xuan Yue frowned and said: "The captain is truly dedicated, he has sounded the enemy invasion alarm. Let’s enter the temple and see what’s going on."
Before the two of them could reach the entrance of the temple, three people exited. It was Xuan Ye, Mang Siu, and Yu Jian, the three Red Robe Priests. Upon seeing her father, Xuan Yue was overjoyed. She let go of Ah Dai, ran towards Xuan Ye, and excitedly called out: "Daddy." Xuan Ye, who had come out due to the alarm, was also overjoyed, opened his arms, and embraced his daughter saying, "My precious daughter is back. I was so worried. How come I didn’t feel anything when you returned?"
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Could it be that because your daughter is too powerful, you couldn’t sense me? Daddy, my magic has improved even more."
By then, Mang Siu and Yu Jian had also come over. Yu Jian smiled and said: "You father and daughter catch up. Mang Siu and I will go check what’s going on since the Church is on high alert, and we can’t figure out where this alarm is coming from."
Mang Siu asked: "Yue Yue, were there any enemies chasing you when you came back? Otherwise, why would there be this mountain-wide alert?"
Ah Dai walked up and said with a wry smile: "I think, there’s no need for the two priests to go. This alarm was caused by us."
"Hmm? What did you say? How could the alarm go off because of you?" Xuan Ye asked in confusion.
Xuan Yue pouted and said, "I tell you, Daddy, what’s going on with our Church? The defenses are so tight! They were even stopping me. I used Space Transfer Magic to bring Ah Dai in. That’s why they sounded the alarm."
Xuan Ye sighed and said, "The situation within the Church has been tense recently. Strengthening the defense was a last resort. Let’s go in to discuss. Hurry and report to your grandpa about your achievements on the journey, he’s been waiting quite impatiently."
Mang Siu said: "You guys go ahead, I’ll handle the situation outside to prevent further panic." Once he said that, he floated up and headed towards the outskirts of the church’s Divine Mountain.
Xuan Ye, seemingly in a hurry, quickly walked inside with his daughter. Ah Dai, who was following behind, noticed Xuan Ye’s anxious expression and asked: "Father-in-law...Uncle Xuan, what’s going on?"
Since he’s now engaged to Xuan Yue, although Xuan Ye has no favor for Ah Dai, he spoke in a softer tone, "During the time you both were gone, many things have happened on the continent. Key individuals of all forces have nearly all been attacked by assassins. It’s chaos everywhere, even within our Church."
Xuan Yue gasped, "Daddy, do you mean grandpa has also..."
Xuan Ye nodded gravely, "Your grandpa was assassinated twice. The first time, the assailants were three Judges of Light. The second time, they were two newly promoted white robe priests. If it weren’t for your grandpa’s proficient skills, even though he managed to kill the traitors, in such a sudden situation..."
Xuan Yue felt a cold sweat creeping upon her back as she murmured: "It’s unbelievable that even the white robe priests would betray the Sky God and commit such blasphemous acts... What on earth is going on? Is it really going to be total chaos?"
Xuan Ye stated: "Your grandpa and I suspect that the current chaos is entirely orchestrated by the Church of the Dark Saint. They’ve probably infiltrated spies amongst all the forces on the continent just like your Aunt Luo Shui. Now that they’ve reached the final stage, the spies needn’t hide anymore. Hence, they’ve launched assassination attempts. Their targets are all the leaders of different nations or larger forces. Their aim is to create chaos on the continent, in order to delay our actions against them and use this time to achieve their goals." As he said this, they had reached the center of the temple’s main hall.
Upon hearing Xuan Ye’s words, both Ah Dai and Xuan Yue fell into deep thought. They never expected that while they had successfully completed their mission in the Death Mountain Range, the human side would face problems.
Xuan Ye took a few steps forward to the humongous angel statue, and mentally conveyed, "Father, Yue Yue and the others are back."
After a while, a circle of golden light surfaced before the angel statue. The Pope, covered in a golden sacrificial gown, appeared before them, appearing more haggard compared to when Ah Dai and Xuan Yue had left. Xuan Yue came out from her deep thoughts, took a few steps forward to the Pope, and said: "Grandpa, we’re back. Are you...okay?"
