674 Please Forgive I (1/2)
In the very next instant, beams of light shot out from the hole of the Ultimate, along the crack that have been produced by the Heaven Ladder. The musicians that have been trapped in the Ultimate were still alive. It seemed that they have remained unharmed, although some of them did look like they have been scared out of their wits… along with the conspicuous-looking church badge pinned on their chest.
Despite so many people converting to church so suddenly, the church fleet did not seem pleased. This was because the church badge actually contained the symbols of flame and the holy emblem, signifying the Religious Court of Inquiry.
To think that the Religious Court of Inquiry has managed to recruit so many people under such circumstances?!
The Archbishop, who has been observing the scene, was stunned for a long time even as he gritted his teeth in anger. He could not believe that Ye Qingxuan was capable of finding a way out of such terrible circumstances, and also recruiting people to his cause at the same time.
”Indeed, that Chief Inquisitor cannot be underestimated…” He muttered coolly. He turned around to look at the red-robed clergyman behind him, ”My Lord, Chopin, are we going to sit by while the situation turns for the worse for us?”
”From the very beginning, it has never turned out well for us at all. That's so sad. There's no hope after all. No hope, whatsoever.” The man, whom others call 'Chopin', shrunk into a dark corner and muttered under his breath, ”When Schubert lost control, that should have been a very clear warning. But the Sacred City lacked the courage to make a decisive move. This would never have happened if they had sent me earlier, don't you think? I'm much more suitable than Schubert, why didn't they let me go instead?”
Chopin seemed oblivious to his surroundings as he talked about how he should have taken Schubert's place, when his tone suddenly seemed to carry a tinge of expectancy, ”If only we had done so earlier, then we would not have had to deal with all the subsequent problems.”
The Archbishop looked awkward and spoke softly, ”My Lord, Chopin, you are the only person amongst all musicians that is capable of becoming a saint. Please preserve yourself…”
”Here we go again. Stop nagging.” Chopin waved his hand. Half of his palm looked absolutely perfect. It was simply exquisite and was definitely the perfect hand of a musician.
However, the other half of the palm looked extremely wounded as there were layers upon layers of injuries on the wrist. There was even a huge burn mark on the back of his hand. Now, a finger pointed at the Ultimate, at the origin of that Heaven Ladder.
”Take a look over there.”

”Prepare the God's way and repair his path.” Ye Qingxuan heard a soft voice from behind him, ”You used your own music theory to suppress the outside world, without fear of the Dark Zone or chaos. I once spent 30 years in order to achieve this, yet you managed to do in just a few months' time…”
Ye Qingxuan turned back suddenly and saw a figure in the darkness. That figure was slowly approaching, yet it did not feel real or substantial. An androgynous face peeked at Ye Qingxuan and its eyes were filled with envy.
”This is probably down to the talent that I never had.”
”Paganini?” Ye Qingxuan frowned, ”Instead of guarding over the top of the Ultimate, you actually have the time to come and find me?”
