Chapter 1 Red Sea Descends!

The Nanli domain descended in an instant, the volcanic ash burned by the scarlet firelight, the entire sky burned into a blood color—

The Vermilion Bird fell with a sea of fire.

He raised his arm in the high sky, held it over his head, and clenched his fingers, countless flames flew in the void, condensing into a scarlet spear—

"Boom!"

The surging sound of fire waves shattered the void.

He threw the spear!

In the next moment, the Li Fire Spear appeared on the city wall of W19 District. The high-level transcendent of the Guang Ming (Light) Church guarding the city rushed out after hearing the loud noise in the sky—

Then there was a "tearing" sound!

The spear pierced the chest of the Guang Ming Church believer, burning his robes and flesh into ashes. A cloud of flying ash exploded on the top of the city wall, and blood and fire rained down together.

The Vermilion Bird landed on the city wall.

He unfolded the Li Huo domain expressionlessly!

There were not many residents in this small district, less than a thousand. Purgatory spread instantly, enveloping W19 District… The believers of the Guang Ming Church rushed out at the first moment. They watched the fiery red sun sink, and finally, under countless dazzling rays, the figure standing alone on the city wall waved his hand.

The Li Fire tide was like a tsunami!

The Vermilion Bird's Li Huo, for low-level transcendents, was simply an unbearable "killer"!

This was a double blow to the soul and the body!

The sea of fire spread instantly.

Countless white robes were burned to ashes, and after the Li Huo domain was completely covered, the entire W19 District turned into an extremely hot dead city, where there was no living creature—

Everyone was burned to ashes!

…

…

Due to the outer hunt of the West Cave,

W19 District conducted a mobilization activity, and many transcendents went out of the city with the Guang Ming Church to participate in the hunting of beast spirits…

So now there are about seven or eight hundred survivors in the city.

And in just a few minutes, W19 District had been slaughtered cleanly.

This was the cruelty of the transcendent world. Without rules to restrain it, transcendents of the level of the Four Divine Envoys could easily massacre a city—

Without any effort.

A breeze blew by, and the blazing waves dissipated.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy stood alone on the city wall, his red divine official robe swaying in the wind.

The Yun Jing was suspended beside him.

Strands of mist, lingering in the scarlet afterglow of Li Huo, still had remnants. The power emanating from the Yun Jing (Cloud Mirror) artifact enveloped the city, and carried out a certain degree of "interference."

The Sky Eye vision of the Shen Hai (Deep Sea) was already gradually weakening with the accumulation of volcanic ash.

These days, it could capture fewer and fewer scenes.

Under the effect of the Yun Jing artifact, W19 District became a small "blind spot"... This was the smallest city at the end of the West Cave border, which was why the Vermilion Bird chose to act here.

What he wanted to do was not to burn the city to vent his anger.

To find the "Son of the Divine Scroll"... he needed to find the Guang Ming City mole who incited the parade in E0 District that day. He did not think that the mole would stay foolishly after completing the plundering in the Source Tower territory.

Obviously.

The mole had already returned to the West Cave.

On the surface, Guang Ming City only dispatched two top Tier 4s, one was the Guang Ming City Grand Knight Jia Wei, known as invincible at Tier 4, and the other was the newly appointed "Blessed Child" Su Ye.

But this time, the Blessed Child and the Grand Knight had already gone out—

With the caution of Guang Ming City, they must have taken precautions!

In this way, in the West Cave... there was probably still other "Tier 4s" stationed, perhaps more than one, but this was not important. What the Vermilion Bird had to do was to find the Guang Ming City's "Tier 4 mole."

He still remembered every frame of the battle in Beiling, E0 District!

He had never suffered such a big loss!

He had never seen such a cunning opponent!

The other party's style of doing things, setting up traps, made the Vermilion Bird suspect... could Guang Ming City transcendents really do this? These people, under the name of Guang Ming, were doing things that were too insidious!

Using the parade to attract himself, feinting to the east and attacking the west, and taking away the Son of the Divine Scroll.

In addition... designing for himself to take out the Nanli token and empty the S-class barrier, Kong Yu (Air Domain)!

Linking one trap to another, killing people's hearts!

After the riot night in E0 District, the Vermilion Bird was greatly affected.

He had waited for many years to get the opportunity for the "Wine Fire Seed" to be vacant—

He was determined to win the position of successor to the "Lord of Wine"!

But after that night, he almost fell out of the position of Divine Envoy. Fortunately, Mr. Tianshui appreciated him and was willing to continue to support him, so he had the opportunity to "atone for his sins."

The Vermilion Bird would do his best to seize it!

He had always been ruthless and left no room for maneuver.

But this did not mean he was a fool.

If he acted in the identity of the "Source Tower Divine Envoy" and burned the city without concealment, this behavior would be cursed by thousands of people.

It could not be exposed to the sun.

So... he used the Yun Jing, erasing all traces.

As long as there was no evidence, Guang Ming City would have no way.

Even if they knew that he had done the "burning of the city", they could do nothing about it!

Next, the Vermilion Bird narrowed his eyes, he reached out and pressed on the Yun Jing artifact, and his mental power was injected into it. The "artifact" bestowed by the sky was activated and operated at this moment, and the entire burned-out city was instantly filled with surging clouds and mist. In an instant, the strong wind howled, the wind came quickly and went quickly, and when everything returned to its original state, the aura of Li Huo had dissipated.

He also cleared the traces left by the Li Fire burning!

Doing this was equivalent to telling Su Ye, telling Jia Wei—

"I'm here."

As for who it was, everyone had no evidence, but they knew it in their hearts.

Just like the parade in E0 District.

…

…

West Cave, deep in the jungle.

"Lord Su Ye, an unusual transcendent aura fluctuation has been detected along the Ice Sea... Its life level is likely to have exceeded 'Tier 3.'"

"Shall we continue to go deeper?"

"Of course."

Su Ye stood on a very thin blanket-like flying sealed object. He stood with his hands behind his back, talking and laughing with the archbishop sent by the Holy City, while dealing with the "trivial matters" in the Great Hunting mission.

"Archbishop Dijang, this 'hunt' doesn't seem as complicated as I imagined."

"The ring forest of the West Cave doesn't seem to have too many ferocious beasts."

Archbishop Dijang, sent to Su Ye's side by the Holy City, was a burly, kind-faced, blue-shirted fat man.

He had very little hair, but even so, he had his hair done, and it was made into a bun on his shiny head.

Dijang smiled and said, "Perhaps this is the power of 'belief'. Belief has given the West Cave the light of fortune."

Of the four archbishops, he was the only one who successfully entered the city with his followers.

The relationship between West Continent and South Continent was not bad.

As places of faith, Guang Ming City and the Holy City often had contact. Every year, powerful transcendents would go to each other's city of faith and live there for a period of time in the name of "learning."

Their own beliefs were strong enough, so going to each other's home field would not shake them.

The so-called "learning" was actually to learn from each other's strengths.

On the road to the development and growth of the Church, this kind of "learning" was very necessary.

In order to make their "belief" stronger.

Storm and Guang Ming had actually been "observing" each other... The Storm Church's ideology was very intense, and accompanied by a protracted war and internal division, it did not hinder this belief from dividing the continent.

The more crisis and turmoil, the more people were willing to believe in the illusory "god"!

In times of despair, unable to save themselves, they would hope that outsiders would lend a hand... So no matter how intense the internal struggle of the Storm Church was, it would not be a loss for the God Seat.

He was the ultimate gathering place of interests.

No matter which church the natives of the South Continent believed in... ultimately the incense and offerings in the dark would all lead to the palm of the Storm God Seat!

Su Ye and Dijang chatted idly on the road.

This time, the outer hunt.

For Su Ye, one very important thing... was the meeting with South Continent.

"Mr. Dijang, to be honest, this time Guang Ming City wants to discuss a cooperation with South Continent."

Su Ye said with a smile. He was very scheming. He did not use mental communication throughout this conversation... because he knew that Saintess Jiadi's Chao Xi (Tide) had already been laid down!

Every word he said to Dijang at this moment was being captured by the Holy City.

Sure enough.

Dijang's expression changed slightly, obviously receiving instructions: "Lord Su Ye, being blessed... why be so polite? If there is anything you need help with, just say it."

"Before I came, I investigated the files of the 'Sangzhou Cave.'"

Su Ye smiled softly: "This place was very chaotic three years ago. Many small and medium-sized churches within the Holy City were preaching here... and some people even fought fiercely for this."

"Yes."

Dijang asked in confusion, "What does Lord Su Ye want to say?"

"It's nothing really."

Su Ye said gently: "I just discovered an interesting old story... Many years ago in Sangzhou Cave, there were some 'mysterious' transcendents active, they were committed to cleaning up the Church's beliefs."

"If you are preachers."

"Then they are cleaners."

"Their name... is 'Neutralizer'."

Dijang frowned, his expression was not good, there was no confusion or shock, only gloomy anger, because this was only a small secret. The Holy City knew about the actions of the "Neutralizers."

No one can spread their belief to every corner of the world.

Similarly.

No one can ensure that 100% of their subjects can firmly believe in the highest and greatest faith.

Among the crowd, there would always be some people who sincerely "hated" organizations like the Church.

Even the Holy City and Guang Ming City could not avoid this situation—

Among the residents living on the border of South Continent, there were always some who disliked Storm.

Just like on Guang Ming City's Sunset Mountain, there were always some who looked forward to the sun falling.

"I just caught a 'Neutralizer'."

Su Ye smiled and said, "I am not interested in the 'Neutralizer' organization. If the Holy City can give a 'satisfactory' chip... I can transfer this 'Neutralizer'."

"Not interested?"

Dijang smiled.

He didn't believe Su Ye's nonsense... Guang Ming City's transcendents had one hundred and eight hearts!

"How about it, do you want to consider it?"

Su Ye said with a smile, but halfway through his words, his expression suddenly changed.

"Su Ye, something happened—"

It was Shadow's message.

"W19 District has been slaughtered by Outer Continent transcendents!"
