Chapter 381 (2/2)
“Shhh…” The Chaos Witch chuckled and put up a finger to her lips as a signal for him to keep it a secret.
“The insignificant ants also wish to go after the god’s powers?” A hint of disdain flashed in the boy’s eyes.”They’ll just be used to propel us on our roads to success and won’t get anything out of it.” He then suddenly glared at the Conferred Knight and asked,”How is it possible for that level 24 Conferred Knight to be immune to the power of the evil god?
“The person you said that you’ve come to see must be him, right?”
The witch with cyan hair and eyes laughed, and ignited in flames, turning into fragments and dissipating in the air.
‘He is the key, the agreement, the final realm, the chaos that will bring the entire world to an end…’
The boy looked coldly at the disappearing silhouette. His mouth twitched, and he said,”A bunch of people who like to put up a show.”
…
One day later, the entire ruins was sealed off by the Empire. Countless Knights and staff members went around checking for the remaining leads. However, the damage caused by Fang Xingjian’s Terra Ingurgitation was far too great. Majority of the leads were already gone.
In the government’s office in Great Western City, Fang Xingjian sat on a chair. His eyes looked as if his soul was somewhere distant.
An official was seated opposite him.
“So, in the end, you were unable to hold back, and you killed the Terrene Shrine’s bishop?
“Mmm.” Fang Xingjian nodded.
“Thank you for cooperating with our investigations.”
Fang Xingjian walked out from the government building. He was still holding onto a box in his right hand. The item in the box was the reason why he had participated in the operation to wipe out the Terrene Shrine. It was the sunstone which could be used to increase the level of one’s Effulgence Weapon.
The staff members had found it from the ruins of the Terrene Shrine and eventually handed it to Fang Xingjian.
However, Fang Xingjian was still thinking about the matter with the Terrene Shrine. The implications from this case were really too great. To think that there had been such a terrifying heretic base in the Great Western Region and it was located so near to the Great Western City.
They had even remained hidden for many years, killing over 10,000 innocent commoners.
Additionally, they had even developed evil black magic which could join humans and ferocious beasts together, and then channel in a tremendous amount of human consciousness, forming physical bodies and spirits which were close to being indestructible.
The Empire’s upper echelon would definitely put in more effort into cracking down on the Terrene Shrine. Fang Xingjian’s concern, however, was about the nature of the Terrene Shrine’s Mages.
‘Black magic… Mages… Terrene Shrine… diabolic energy.’ Fang Xingjian once again recalled the final scene when he had been fighting with the bishop.’Why is it that he came into contact with me, but he didn’t activate black magic?’
Fang Xingjian’s eyes squinted a little. He could not understand why this was the case, but when he thought back on the terrible scenes in the Terrene Shrine, killing intent surged in his heart. The skill seed which represented the Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar mental cultivation method continued to flash with a silver glow.
Robert had already walked right up to Fang Xingjian and was half a step behind him.”Sir, is there anything wrong?”
“Mmm, it’s nothing.” Fang Xingjian then casually brought up,”Gather information related to the Terrene Shrine. If you can find another of their bases, inform me immediately.”
No matter what, the Terrene Shrine’s black magic research had stimulated the killing aura in Fang Xingjian’s heart. He felt that if he could kill the people from the Terrene Shrine, his Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar mental cultivation method would be able to progress even more. This would be an act of following his heart.
“I understand.”
“How has this case been explained to the public?”
Robert bowed and continued,”Sir, the academy has already heard of the damage you’ve caused in the Pearl City as well as at the Terrene Shrine’s base. They’ve sealed off the information at the first instant and announced to the public that it’s due to earthquake and avalanche. They hope that you can return to the academy immediately. They wish to to immediately purchase the complete legacy on the Pantheon Monument.”
Fang Xingjian said calmly,”Leave them hanging for a while.”
