Chapter 675: 675 Antidote
Chapter 676: 676. World-Ending Witch, You’re Finished!
The two Saintesses subconsciously glanced at each other, as if simultaneously thinking of some unspeakable scene. They cooled their gazes and turned their little faces away, ignoring Mu Qingtong’s suggestion.
Xia Feng didn’t notice the silent exchange between the three women because he was secretly making a resolution: World-Ending Witch, you’re finished!
As the headquarters of the Black Moon Holy See, Black Moon City was teeming with powerful individuals and abundant treasures. He truly couldn’t believe that this place wouldn’t have treasures to restrain the World-Ending Witch!
Moreover, he had a strong premonition that this trip to the Black Moon General Court would definitely bring him unexpected gains!
At that time, he would not only make this Evil Witch grovel before him, wagging her tail, but also do something more outrageous! Humiliate her severely!
Let this evil and perverted witch know what true humiliation was!!
After establishing his grand ambition to strike down evil, Xia Feng came back to his senses, brought the topic back to business, and asked:
“Cha Nai Xue, speaking of which, why did you judge Leng Xiu to be the owner of the Naluo Spirit Artifact?”
“When owners of the Naluo Spirit Artifact are at a certain distance from each other, they can sense each other’s existence,” Cha Nai Xue replied, regaining her senses. “Leng Xiu has the Naluo aura on him.”
So that’s how it is. Xia Feng couldn’t help but frown. However, after successfully copying Leng Xiu’s Spirit Artifact, the Blood Mark Seal, he discovered that this Spirit Artifact did not require faith power to use.
This indicated that Leng Xiu was not the owner of Naluo.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Leng Xiu was hiding another life form. This life form was the actual owner of the Naluo Spirit Artifact, and for some reason, it had not been detected by Xia Feng’s Enlightenment Domain.
This had caused Cha Nai Xue to make a misjudgment.
“Dong—”
There was a crashing sound from outside the safe house. Leng Xiu was getting bored and was kicking the safe house’s shell with his foot.
“Hey, you two sows of the Black Moon inside.”
“To be honest, with so many people within the Black Moon wanting you dead, it would be better for you to obediently let me suck some blood than to be killed by your own people.”
Leng Xiu grinned, revealing his fangs like a blood ghost, and licked his lips with his tongue. He tucked his hands into his pockets and lazily twisted his neck. “Perhaps if I’m in a good mood, I might even take you as blood slaves, sparing your lives.”
Cha Nai Xue frowned, about to speak, when Xia Feng gently pressed her slender shoulder and walked beside her, looking up. “Judging from your Excellency’s words, you know quite a lot about the inside story of the Black Moon General Court?”
Leng Xiu could only vaguely see the spirit pressure reaction within the safe house.
Among the four light masses, when the only male spoke, the two Saintesses seemed to be very well-behaved and stayed silent, standing behind the man.
“That’s interesting. Kid, who are you, and what’s your relationship with these two Black Moon sows?”
“I’m your dad,” Xia Feng rolled his eyes and said bluntly.
The vampire man’s smile faded. He was indeed seeking death.
A bloodthirsty and playful gleam flashed in his pupils. He sighed, “Kid, cherish it well. Your time is running out.”
“Buzz—”
Just then, a resonant hum of spatial fluctuations erupted.
Both the four people inside the safe house and the Apostles present became serious instantly and looked up.
Angel Saint Pastor has arrived!
According to the rules of the Black Moon Holy See, if a Saintess fails to meet the cultivation standard for an S-grade Spirit Robe within a certain period, her qualification as a Saintess will be revoked.
However, since they were once Saintesses and had the qualifications to cultivate S-grade Spirit Robes, their spiritual cultivation talents were actually not low. As long as there were no accidents and they were given enough time, these disqualified Saintesses could basically successfully be promoted to Venerable Four, or even to the Sacred Realm.
As long as they could be promoted to the Venerable Four stage, they would be qualified to be nominated for the Three Saint Pastors.
Based on Xia Feng’s superficial knowledge of the history of the Black Moon Holy See, Angel Saint Pastor was once a beautiful Black Moon Saintess, incredibly popular and admired a thousand years ago. But now…
She was an old woman wearing a gray and white robe. Sparse gray and white hair drifted out from under the hood of the robe. Her facial skin was full of wrinkles and dark brown spots, and her pale blue pupils were cloudy and grayish, so old that she was even somewhat ugly.
But the holy cross on the hood of her robe shone brilliantly, adding a touch of sacredness to her.
She held a mysterious black and gold scepter in her hand, with a dark crescent moon at the top.
The scepter clanged against the ground as she, in her white robe, lightly and gracefully landed in the center of the presiding high pedestal. Her cloudy eyes looked down at the crowd below with a faint gaze.
With a casual sweep, her gaze locked directly onto the safe house, as if she could see everything inside. A hint of surprise flashed in her dim, lusterless pupils.
Noticing her gaze, Fen Cheng said indifferently, “Logically speaking, this was unexpectedly obtained by my Burning Heaven. But for the sake of Saint Pastor’s face, I can let Jiang Qiue go. As for the other three, they must die.”
Angel’s cloudy old eyes, however, were very calm, with no emotion showing. She shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, “No need. The fewer people who know about our transaction, the better.”
This surprised not only the Burning Angel Disciple but also Xia Feng. He looked at Jiang Qiue with confusion. “Isn’t Angel your mentor? So heartless?”
The woman in the green dress shook her head. “I’m different from other Saintesses. After Cha Nai Xue entered the Black Moon, she was raised and meticulously taught by Master Miao for five years.
Olivia and the deceased You Lina were also Saintesses meticulously taught by Moruo himself.
However, when I entered the Black Moon, Angel Saint Pastor had been in seclusion for several hundred years. I had only met her twice in between. But because of this, Angel Saint Pastor did not discover that I was once the Nine-Tails Star God, which saved me a lot of trouble.”
!
So that’s how it is. Xia Feng nodded. It seemed that the master-disciple relationship between Angel Saint Pastor and Jiang Qiue was just a formality, and the two were not familiar with each other at all.
There was neither the nurturing grace like Master Miao and Cha Nai Xue, nor the teaching grace like Moruo and Olivia.
Therefore, in Angel’s eyes, it didn’t matter much if such a cheap disciple died.
“Dong dong—” Angel raised her Black Moon scepter and tapped the floor tiles. “Did you bring the Divine Faith Fruit?”
“Naturally.”
Leng Xiu raised the back of his hand and grinned, his scarlet eyes narrowing slightly. “But esteemed Saint Pastor, before the transaction, may I be presumptuous and ask the true reason for your defection from the Black Moon?”
The old woman in the white robe cast a dismissive glance at the blood ghost with her cloudy eyes. She didn’t seem to be in a hurry. After a moment of silence, she turned her head to look at the cold moon hanging in the sky outside the window and said in a hoarse, old voice filled with twilight:
“The previous Saint Pastor, Hethwe, was killed by an ambush from Moruo Saint Pastor, who coveted the Fourth Flame Seed she found. However, Moruo Saint Pastor did not obtain the Fourth Flame Seed, and its whereabouts remain unknown.”
“Hethwe?” Xia Feng looked at Cha Nai Xue in confusion.
“Angel Saint Pastor’s sister,” Cha Nai Xue explained in a low voice. “A thousand years ago, she went to Qitian Holy Mountain with Moruo Saint Pastor. Two months later, only Moruo Saint Pastor returned to the General Court, saying that Hethwe had died in an ambush by the Nightmare Clan.”
So that’s how it is. Xia Feng nodded, having a general guess in his mind. He estimated that after Angel Saint Pastor discovered the truth, she meticulously planned to assassinate Moruo for revenge, but failed, so she had to flee. However, before fleeing, she also took the Sumeru King Order.
“Thank you for your answer, esteemed Saint Pastor,” Leng Xiu said with a faint smile, placing his hand on his chest and performing a gentlemanly bow. “As for where you want to know the final whereabouts of the Flame Seed…”
“According to the intelligence investigated by our Burning Heaven so far, the Fourth Flame Seed has always been secretly held by the [Tu Shan Cha Clan] of Area 51.”
“However, ten years ago, after the Tu Shan Cha Clan was wiped out overnight by a mysterious person, the Fourth Flame Seed disappeared again.”
“Oh, right.” Leng Xiu seemed to recall something and chuckled as he glanced at the safe house. “Saintess Cha Nai Xue seems to be the sole survivor of the Tu Shan Cha Clan, doesn’t she?”
His voice trailed off.
Inside the room, Cha Nai Xue and Xia Feng suddenly looked up simultaneously, their pupils contracting sharply.
