Chapter 671: Chapter 185: Dark Saint Invasion_5
The Pope’s eyes flashed with divine light as he gently nodded, saying, "Child, you are not only the savior sent by the Sky God to rescue mankind, but also my son-in-law, you must pay attention to your own safety. We cannot save the continent from this disaster without you. Although winning over the three Sword Saints is important, your safety is more important. You understand what I mean."
Feeling the Pope’s heartfelt concern, Ah Dai gave a faint smile and said, "Grandfather, thank you, don’t worry, my cultivation is almost at the same level as my master’s was. I will definitely return safely. Grandfather, as the church is temporarily unoccupied, I fear Yue Yue might worry, so let her come with me. At most in two months, we will surely rush back. When we return, we can discuss how to cope with the creatures of the Mountain Range of Undead."
The Pope looked at his granddaughter and said, "Yue Yue, when you go to the Tian Gang Mountain Range, you must listen to Ah Dai, do not cause him trouble."
Xuan Yue pouted and said, "Grandfather, how could I cause him trouble? Do you still treat me as a child?"
The Pope laughed and said, "In grandfather’s heart, you will always be a child. To tell the truth, I’m really glad and consoled that you have returned safely this time, bringing back such important news, the future of our continent will be in your hands, the younger generation’s hands. Since Ah Dai urgently needs to go back to the Tian Gang Mountain Range, I shall not keep you two. Be careful on your way. The outer defenses of the church are strict, so to save time, you should fly straight out. Yu Jian, you arrange it, don’t let them encounter any obstacles."
"Yes, Your Holiness," Yu Jian replied respectfully.
After bidding farewell to the Pope, under Yu Jian’s lead, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue arrived at the square in front of the Temple of Light. Being here, the two almost simultaneously remembered the day when Ah Dai rushed to stop Xuan Yue’s wedding. The two exchanged a look, their profound affection reflected in each other’s eyes. Unconsciously, their hands clasped more tightly. Everything was said without words.
Yu Jian gave a slight smile and said, "You may go now. I will immediately arrange for the priests responsible for air defense in the church not to trouble you. Return early, the church and the people of the continent need you."
Ah Dai respectfully saluted Yu Jian, saying, "Goodbye, Yu Jian priest, we will certainly rush back very soon." After saying that, he took Xuan Yue’s little hand, and under the envelope of True Qi, they floated and flew toward the sky.
The cultivation of Xuan Yue and Ah Dai can be said to have reached the peak of martial artists and magicians on the continent. Under the full force of the two, their speed quickly elevated, heading like a bolt of lightning toward the Tian Gang Mountain Range. Their speed was by no means slower than when they had been carried by Xiao Gu Tou initially.
Death Mountain Range. Central peak.
In front of a huge circular altar, a man in black was continuously chanting odd spells using an exotic language, a low and gloomy sensation filled around him. The six large golden symbols on the altar seemed to be slightly trembling. This altar, about three meters high and about fifty meters in diameter, was a huge equilateral hexagon in its entirety. At the center of the altar was a spiral pattern with a diameter of three meters. The pattern extended outward continuously, forming various bizarre symbols. At the six corners of the altar, there were large golden symbols filled with sacred aura, despite the passage of thousands of years, the energy of these six symbols did not diminish in the slightest.
Taking a deep breath, the man in black ceased his chanting. Five black figures appeared behind him, one of them said, "Sect Hierarch, how is it? How much longer will it take to open the exit?"
