Chapter 525: The pursuit of Dark Church

Late at night, a cold wind whistled and heavy snow flew all over. At the foot of the remote mountain of Proud Moon Empire, heavy snowfall had already lasted for several days in a row. Compared to Violent Dragon Empire, this place was much colder.

A figure was fleeing at lightning speed in the midst of this cold winter night.

"D**n it, a group of mad dogs." Leng Youyou endured the weakness caused by the large consumption of her spirit power and hatefully cursed in her heart. It had already been several days since she was chased by the elites of Dark Church. Just like dogskin plaster, they continuously stuck close to her. She was unable to throw them off.

Leng Youyou clearly understood that, because of Emerald Magic Bird sealed within her body, those pursuing troops behind her could know her approximate position.

Swish, Leng Youyou fled into a barren village. Due to the war and natural disaster in successive years, the people of this village had either fled or died, leaving only dead trees and overgrown thickets. Perhaps, because many people had died here, this village had gloomy and ghastly air.

Leng Youyou looked all around and without thinking much, she used a magic at the center of the street to make a hole that could accommodate only one person, then hiding inside it, she set up a barrier. Very quickly, the street restored to the original state without any trace.

Not long after, dozens of black robed figures who were covered from head to toe arrived at this gloomy village. All of them had a dense dark aura around them. The leader of this group was a woman with an exquisite figure. Other than she and her four trusted aides behind her, the rest were dark warriors without any feelings who only know how to carry out the orders. With such a luxurious lineup, it was nothing surprising for Leng Youyou to be in such a sore strait.

"You all, lead ten dark warriors each and begin searching from the east, west, south and north of this town to the center, don't leave even a single stone unturned. I can sense that that little sl*t Leng Youyou who live off one person while secretly helping another is hiding in this village." That leader woman hatefully said. If Long Yi heard her voice, then he would have realized that this was the voice of that mysterious beauty who claimed herself to be the mother of Shu Ruoyan.

"Yes, Madame." The four trusted subordinates took orders and left. As for this beautiful lady, she also led remaining ten dark warriors, slowly walking through the streets of this village.

She walked all the way towards the place where Leng Youyou was hiding. This made Leng Youyou feel very nervous. Although she had set up this aura isolation barrier, she had never thought that Pope Lady would actually participate in person in the pursuit of her. She was very clear about the strength of this Dark Pope Lady, and her opinion had a heavy weight. But, some strange secret magic spells that were only passed down among the main bloodline of Pope made her endlessly terrifying. In addition, there were her four trusted subordinates as well as fifty dark warriors. With such lineup, even the legendary Magic God would have some misgivings against them.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and reaching just above the place where Leng Youyou was hiding, she stopped. This made the nerve of Leng Youyou stretched taut. One slight carelessness and she would fall here today, but she didn't want to die here. Even if she had to die, she wanted to see her lover before she died.

Soon, four trusted subordinates who went to search in four directions gathered around this Pope Lady.

"What? Didn't discover that sl*t?" Pope Lady angrily asked.

"Reporting to Madam, we subordinates searched all around this place, but there is no trace of Saintess." One of the trusted subordinates respectfully answered.

Pa, a crisp slapping sound resounded, and the hood of that trusted subordinate was uncovered by the slap of Pope Lady, revealing a deathly pale face which resembled a face of the dead person.

"Saintess? That little sl*t is no longer the Hell Saintess of my Dark Church. Whoever addresses her as Saintess, don't blame me for being impolite." Pope Lady coldly snorted.

"This subordinate admits my crime." That trusted subordinate bowed and said without any temper.

Pope Lady looked around and coldly said: "The hiding magic of that little sl*t is better than I expected, but did she think that I will not be able to find her just like this?"

Pope Lady raised her hand and a wisp of dark qi curled up from her fingertip as she chanted an obscure incantation.

Leng Youyou who was hiding under her feet shook as she felt stabbing pain in her heart. She was shocked in her heart as this damned old hag wanted to summon Emerald Magic Bird sealed within her body. Once Emerald Magic Bird broke out of her body, her hiding place would be exposed immediately.

Should she run away now? Leng Youyou immediately denied this idea. As long as Emerald Magic Bird still existed within her body, her trace would still be exposed.

After thinking so, Leng Youyou gave up the thought to suppress it and she felt stabbing pain to her bones. Then, a hint of emerald shadow broke out from the chest of Leng Youyou. And at the same time, Leng Youyou suddenly used all her power to jump out from underground.

Boom, pieces of earth and snow flew all over as a huge black colored lotus appeared out of thin air. And a radiance that was darker than the dark night spread in the air.

"Black Lotus, Soul Addiction." Along with a charming voice, the huge lotus began to spin rapidly. Everyone shrouded by the aura of this black lotus felt their sea of consciousness agitating, and unexpectedly, they felt as if their souls were being pulled out from their body by a powerful suction force.

The body of those dark warriors emitted a black mist, which was absorbed by this black lotus.

In an extremely short moment, Leng Youyou had already jumped out of her hiding, and taking advantage of the moment when Pope Lady was retreating in sore straits, she casted a powerful offensive move, Spirit Claw, and a huge dark claw shadow appeared in midair which headed towards Pope Lady.

Pope Lady was shocked in her heart, and using Ninth Heaven Dark Magic with all her strength, her figure instantly disappeared, leaving only some blood and bits of clothing fluttering in midair.

At this moment, the trusted subordinates of Pope Lady as well as surviving 30 dark warriors counterattacked. Several rank 10 dark attack magic as well as dark sword slashes headed towards Leng Youyou.

Leng Youyou just gritted her teeth and with a thought, she instantly created a barrier with her spirit power and those strong attacks exploded one meter away from her. But she vomited a mouthful of blood on the black lotus.

After that, Leng Youyou was absorbed inside the black lotus, and that black lotus flashed with blood red radiance and unexpectedly disappeared into the thin air.

"Split-up and chase, she cannot run far with such severe injuries." Pope Lady said feeling utterly discomfited. Now that Leng Youyou no longer had Emerald Magic Bird within her body, if she succeeded in escaping this time, then it would be very difficult to find her again.

The four trusted subordinates and remaining dark warriors went different directions. Only after that, this Pope Lady took off her little hand that was covering her chest. There was a long and thin cut, precisely was the wound caused by the attack of Leng Youyou.

"Little sl*t, when I capture you, see how I will cut you to pieces." Pope Lady gnashed her teeth and said. And when she saw that seven colored scar beside the wound, she became even angrier. That was the mark left behind by that b*****d Ximen Yu, which was also an eternal humiliation.

The snowfall was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind was blowing stronger and stronger. In this entire world, it appeared as if there were no other sounds except the whistling sounds of the strong wind.

Several figures whose entire body was covered with black robe streak across in the sky and landed beside this grove covered with snow and ice.

The nose of the leader black robed person twitched and his eyes under the hood flashed as he could smell blood here.

Following that smell, that black robed person carefully led several dark warriors inside the grove. And after walking for a bit, they saw Leng Youyou on the verge of death lying under a tree. There were bloodstains everywhere on the white snowland around her.

Leng Youyou opened her eyes with great difficulty, and seeing these shadows slowly approaching her, her heart trembled. She didn't fear death, only felt great regret that she was unable to see her sweetheart for the last time.

Leng Youyou had already prepared to die. If the other party wanted to capture her alive to threaten Long Yi, then she was ready to use all her final bits of strength to kill herself. She absolutely cannot fall into the hands of Dark Church.

A black robed person slowly walked over to the front of Leng Youyou, then squatted down and instantly injected dark mist into her body.

"You......" Leng Youyou felt the severe pain she was feeling had subsided a lot, in addition, the wounds on her body began to heal.

At this moment, this black robed person suddenly shook and waving his hand, he dispersed the bloody smell in the air. Soon after that, along with several dark warriors, he rushed out from this grove.

"Dry Bones, did you discover anything?" Another black robed person descended from the sky and asked looking at this black robed person coming out from the grove.

"No." Dry Bones replied with his hoarse voice.

"The northern part is all mountains, so I came to your side, it seems, Saint...... that little sl*t has fled to either south or east direction. Let's go and meet with other teams." This black robed person nodded his head and said, but just when he was about to fly away, he stopped.

This black robed person took a few steps forward and squatted down. Then, pushing aside the surface layer of snow, he discovered a small patch of bloodstained snow.

"Fresh blood, it must be that little sl*t, Dry Bones, it is very likely that that little sl*t is hiding her aura. We should go and check this grove again." This black robed person stood up and said while walking towards this grove.

The complexion of Dry Bones changed and a hint of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

Immediately after entering the grove, this black robed person saw Leng Youyou who was lying under a tree. He was happy to discover this, but immediately afterward, he felt something was wrong. Leng Youyou was lying here without hiding, but how come Dry Bones didn't discover her.

Merely, it was already too late for this black robed person. Death God had already descended to claim his life. Two Golden Armored Corpse Kings appeared behind him without any warning and instantly tore him to pieces. And when Emerald Magic Bird sealed within his body flew, five sharp claws flashed and this Emerald Magic Bird didn't even have time to cry before turning into a corpse under the hands of Dry Bones.

Dry Bones cleaned up this place, then setting up a barrier to cover Leng Youyou, he hastily left. Pope Lady was very shrewd, if he was late in returning, he feared that she might doubt him.

Leng Youyou looked at the leaving back view of Dry Bones, and her consciousness became all the more blurred, eventually losing her consciousness. Due to the pursuit of Dark Church, she had already spent all her energy, and finally escaping from this disaster, she relaxed and fainted in exhaustion.

...................

The sky had already become bright, and the heavy snow that had been falling continuously for several days finally become smaller. Merely, the northern wind was still swift and fierce.

Two figures suddenly rushed past from the direction of Hengduan Mountains. They were women wearing a blue magic robe. One was a beautiful lady who appeared to be 30 or so in age, and the other was a beauty who appeared just a little over 20. Both of them were flying in the sky, and looking at their speed, one could easily discern that they were at least Mage.

"Ruoruo, this small groove in the front was the border of Proud Moon Empire, but now, it has already become the territory of Violent Dragon Empire and Nalan Empire." That beautiful lady said.

"Grandma, how far is the place of my father from here?" The beauty asked. If it was not for this form of address, no one would have guessed that this beautiful lady who looked like she was just in her thirties was the grandmother of this young beauty.

"At our current speed, we will reach in six to seven days." There is a hint of hesitation and melancholy in the tone of this beautiful lady.

The beautiful face of this young girl immediately began to shine. Clearly, she was looking forward to the arrival of that day. These two women were Water Master Archmage Shui Linglong and her granddaughter Shui Ruoyan of Mea Holy Magic Academy. This was the trip to go to Proud Moon Empire to look for the father of Shui Ruoyan, ie., the only son of Shu Linglong.

Soon, the two women reached above this grove. At that time, Shui Ruoyan suddenly stopped and said: "Grandmother, I have urinary urgency, wait for me outside, I will go into this grove and finish my business."

Shui Ruoyan descended and laying out a water protective screen, she took off her pants and did her business.

While doing her business, Shui Ruoyan looked around and suddenly saw a white little hand not far away from her. Her heart suddenly skipped a bit and she jumped up in surprise.

Shui Ruoyan hastily pulled up her pants and walked over, then she couldn't help exclaiming in surprise: "Eh, Hell Saintess of Dark Church."

After that, she brought Shui Linglong with her and said: "Grandma, take a look at her, what has happened to her?"

Although Long Yi had one sentimental night when Leng Youyou had come to Mea Principality, Shu Ruoyan however had not met her. Merely, seeing the black lotus mark on the forehead of Leng Youyou, Shui Ruoyan knew her identity, after all, a few years ago, on Extreme Yin Day, when Light Church had heavy causalities, Dark Church had fought with Light Church for territory. At that time, the reputation of Leng Youyou had soared, and the black lotus mark on her forehead had become the symbol of her identity.

"Her physical injuries are nothing serious, merely, her sea of consciousness has received a serious shock, I don't know if she can completely recover or not." Shui Linglong said and used an advanced healing water magic to stabilize the injuries of Leng Youyou.

"Grandma, how about we take her together with us? In any case, she is also the Hell Saintess of Dark Church. She can be regarded as the subordinate of father and mother, we cannot let her die like this." Shui Ruoyan said.

Shui Linglong didn't speak, just frowned.

"Grandma, since it is unlikely for her to wake up for several days, if we leave her alone like this, then what if she encounters a villain or magical beast that came out to look for food?" Shui Ruoyan hastily said.

Shui Linglong looked at Shui Ruoyan with a smile yet not a smile and said: "Are you truly concerned about her safety or only because she is the woman of that stinking fellow Ximen Yu?"

The beautiful face of Shui Ruoyan became bright red and said: "Grandma, how do you that she is his woman?" The reason why Shui Ruoyan knew was Long Yi had mentioned about her before.

"You don't need to worry about how grandma know that, if you truly want to let her keep her life, then we should not take her to Dark Church." Shui Linglong said.

"Why?" Shui Ruoyan asked in surprise.

Only allowed on Creativenovels.com

"Just looking at the injuries on her sea of consciousness and physical body, they are caused by dark magic. In addition, from the latest rumors, grandma suspects that she was injured by the people of Dark Church." Shui Linglong sighed and said.

"How can that be? Why would people of Dark Church harm their own people?" Shui Ruoyan said in disbelief.

Shui Linglong shook her head without explaining further. Although this granddaughter of hers had already reached peak Archmage realm with only one step away from reaching Master Archmage realm, unfortunately, she was extremely lacking in the ways of this world. Even Shui Linglong also didn't know whether taking her to Dark Church at this time was good or bad, but if she didn't make the best use of her time, then she was afraid that she would have no chance in the future.

"Let's take her to the territory of Barbarian Bull Clan of Hengduan Mountains. Isn't there a beastman who is a brother with Ximen Yu?" Shui Linglong changed the subject.

.................

Two days later, Barbarian Bull who had already assumed the position of the patriarch of Barbarian Bull Clan received still unconscious Leng Youyou. As for Shui Linglong and Shui Ruoyan, they didn't remain there for long and left in a rush.

Even after these past several years, the outward appearance of Barbarian Bull had not changed, merely the aura he unconsciously emitted was a lot more valiant. In addition, he had a kind of prestige of a superior.

Looking at Leng Youyou who was lying unconscious on the bed, a bloody ominous look which had not seen for a long time flashed through his bull eyes. As far as he believed, Leng Youyou was not only the wife of his Boss, she was also a friend who had suffered life and death tribulation together.

After a long time, Barbarian Bull turned around and left the room, then sitting alone in front of the door while wiping Greenstone Rule that was emitting sparkling green radiance, he muttered: "Brother, it is time to fight side by side."

"My husband, are you planning to leave?" Eva calmly asked standing in front of Barbarian Bull. She understood Barbarian Bull very well.

"Eva, I must return to the side of Boss." Barbarian Bull gently said watching his wife.

Eva nodded with tears in her eyes and said: "I understand. Please accompany our son more these days, I will prepare your things."

Seeing Eva entering the house, Barbarian Bull tightly held Greenstone Rule and executed a Demon Vanquishing Rod Technique and faint green light dispersed all around.

"Ha" Barbarian Bull roared loudly and a layer of golden light shot out from Greenstone Rule which enveloped the vicinity of 100 meters, then along with exploding sound, sand and stones flew all over the sky as everything within 100 meters turned into broken bits.

In the midst of clouds of dust, Barbarian Bull stood tall, and he seemed to have returned to the adventuring days beside his Boss.......
