Chapter 708: Chapter 193: Forbidden Curse to Destroy Corpses_4
The Pope nodded and said,"Alright, it’s settled then. I will lead the other Red Robe Priests in providing you with rear support. We must annihilate the enemy. After we eradicate the Polar Undead Spiders, we will discuss how to deal with the Rotten Dragon. Everyone has worked hard the entire day and must be tired, let’s call it a day. Tomorrow morning, we will start the operation."
Ah Dai, worried, took Xuan Yue back to his tent and asked, "Yue Yue, do you feel that something is wrong?"
Xuan Yue was taken aback. "What is wrong?" she asked.
Ah Dai explained, "Today, we crossed three fortresses, but the Church of the Dark Saint has been mysteriously absent. If I were them, I would command my troops to coordinate with the Undead Creatures, making every step we take extremely difficult. Now, we haven’t even seen a single member of the Church of the Dark Saint and this has made us very passive. My biggest fear is that our initial reconnaissance was incorrect, and the headquarters of the Church of the Dark Saint are not here at all."
Xuan Yue gave him a faint smile and gently climbed onto Ah Dai’s lap, circling her arms around his neck. She softly said, "Don’t worry too much. We couldn’t have been wrong about our initial reconnaissance. Do you forget the words of the Skeleton? Moreover, what about the Dark Alien Races that we saw with our own eyes? Nothing will happen, didn’t we face fierce resistance from the Skeleton Emperor today? If this is not the location of the main base of the Church of the Dark Saint, then their threat to us would be significantly less. Despite their strength of over a hundred thousand men, our Church can easily handle them without the threat from the Demon Realm."
Ah Dai sighed lightly, "It isn’t that simple. Just think about it. It’s only mid-April now and there are more than seven months left before the Sacred Calendar expires. Judging by the balance of power, we stand a great chance of surviving the twelve trials of the Undead Creatures’ fortifications, and it shouldn’t take that long. If we can remove the obstacle of the Undead Creatures, the fifty thousand Sacred Knights of your Church alone could cause major headaches for the Church of the Dark Saint. Aren’t they even a little bit worried that we might foil their plot? There must be something wrong."
Xuan Yue nestled close to Ah Dai. "Only members of the Dark Saint Church would know of their conspiracy. It’s pointless for us to worry too much now, we can only take things a step at a time. Haven’t I told you about my ominous premonition? Right now, I really hope the enemy will launch a large scale attack. At the very least, we can seize control of our own fate. Stop worrying and get some rest. It won’t be too late to worry after we completely occupy the territory of the first seven fortresses. Ah Dai, promise me, no matter what, prioritize your safety. You must always be safe, for the sake of our future!"
Feeling Xuan Yue’s deep affection, Ah Dai was entranced. After spending a long while embraced with each other, Ah Dai reluctantly sent her back to her tent. After he sent Xuan Yue back, Ah Dai stood in the doorway of his tent, looking at the dark sky overhead, feeling a tumultuous mix of emotions. For no reason, feelings of irritation kept surging in his mind. Xuan Yue’s ominous premonition also appeared in his heart.
Early the next morning, Ah Dai summoned Sheng Xie and the Skeleton. The Skeleton carried Xuan Yue, Goshawk, Larthas, Gorisong and Kino, while Sheng Xie carried Yun Ying, Ah Dai, and Harry. With one group in the air and the other on the ground, they advanced towards the fourth fortress of the twelve trials of the Undead Creatures. The Skeleton proficiently brought Xuan Yue and others to the airspace of the fourth fortress. Xuan Yue took out her Angel Wand and smiled, "Let me lead the attack. I have a method to use a widespread powerful Fire Magic Spell. Elder Goshawk, if there are any remaining Undead Creatures that escape, I will have to trouble you. Master Larthas, please assist the Skeleton in defense."
Goshawk was a bit discontented. "Why can’t I lead the attack? Do you still not trust my abilities?"
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "How could this be? Your abilities are so strong, of course you should hold your position in the rear. If I can’t go on, you will be ready to step forward! Look, they’re here." Large amounts of blue light spots rapidly approached from the sky, which were indeed the Undead Creatures guarding the airspace of the fourth fortress of the twelve trials of the Undead Creatures. Xuan Yue didn’t have time to provide further explanation. There was a deep and divine light in her eyes as she muttered aloud, "By the phoenix’s blood that contains the endless vitality of divine energy! Grant me as the holder of the phoenix’s blood, the power to use your strength. Let the immortal phoenix with endless Might of Fire revive with the bloodline as a medium, and bestow him with infinite power!" Red light floated out as Xuan Yue finished her spell. It quickly orbited around her body. Under the terrace of energy full of a sacred aura, Xuan Yue’s body was completely fused with the phoenix’s blood in her chest. Her lovely body gently swayed and fell in front of the Skeleton. For the first time, she felt that her spirit had fully merged with the phoenix’s blood on the same spiritual level. The warmth and robust energy from the phoenix’s bloodline kept nourishing her lovely body. A red magic hexagram appeared beneath Xuan Yue’s feet. With tremendous red light fully engulfing Xuan Yue’s body in an instant, no one could see her clearly from the outside. Xuan Yue spread her arms wide and a pair of golden wings appeared on her back. They fluttered gently with the release of red energy. Next, another pair of golden wings emerged. Visible golden light spots converged toward the four wings from all directions.
