Chapter 1 Nie Yan Enters the Sacred Mountain Range

Nie Yan entered the Sacred Mountain Range. According to the information reported by his subordinates, the Bone Dragon flew towards the southwest.

Some Thieves from the Ni Ren Tribe were tracking Qin Han. Several who got within five hundred yards of Qin Han were killed by the Necromancer Bodman. They dared not get any closer, maintaining a distance of at least a thousand yards.

From a thousand yards out, it was difficult to track Qin Han. They could only discern the general direction of his departure.

Nie Yan tracked him all the way, meeting up with several Thieves from the Ni Ren Tribe.

"Nirvana Guild Leader," the Thieves greeted.

"Where did that Necromancer go?" Nie Yan looked into the distance, where there was a vast expanse of white mist, making the road difficult to find.

"We lost him when we got here, but that Bone Dragon is over there!" one of the Thieves pointed towards a distant mountain peak.

Looking towards the distance from a less misty area, a black dot flashed across the distant mountain peak and disappeared on the other side.

"You can all go back," Nie Yan said to the Thieves. The area ahead was spawning monsters of level 100 and above. These Thieves hadn't reached level 100 yet and might encounter danger in the forest. It would be better to let them go back to level.

"Okay, Nirvana Guild Leader, be careful."

Seeing what Nie Yan said, the Thieves expressed their concern. They understood that they couldn't be of much help; that Necromancer was too strong.

Nie Yan entered stealth and swiftly flew through the jungle, passing through a muddy area. At that moment, the Holy Light Stone in his accessories column emitted a shimmering white light, warm and gentle.

Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. There was an Abak set component nearby!

He looked around. This was a jungle, filled with dense white mist, making it impossible to see clearly. If he were to search for the Abak set component here, he wouldn't be able to continue tracking Qin Han.

Qin Han had abandoned his skeleton army and appeared here with the Necromancer Bodman. There must be something important going on!

After weighing his options, Nie Yan recorded the coordinates and decided to come back and search for the Abak set component when he had time.

Nie Yan activated his maximum speed and flew past.

More than ten minutes later, Nie Yan arrived at a hillside. He saw the huge Bone Dragon in the distance. It was already so small that it was almost invisible, circling in the distant sky for a moment before slowly descending and disappearing into the thick clouds among the mountains.

Nie Yan frowned. The Bone Dragon landed over there. What was it trying to do?

He had been to the area where the Bone Dragon landed in his previous life, after the Undead Revenge expansion. There was a ruin of a temple there, said to have been destroyed when the Undead Revenge expansion was launched.

Thinking of this, Nie Yan raised an eyebrow. Qin Han's appearance here was no accident. He was definitely brewing a big conspiracy. Despite knowing that he might encounter danger, he decided to go there.

This jungle spawned many monsters of level 120 and 130, many of which were elite-level. Occasionally, a Lord-level monster would appear. Players of the current level dared not come to this kind of place, so it was still relatively hidden.

Nie Yan carefully avoided the monsters. Some monster corpses were scattered on the ground, not yet refreshed by the server, proving that they had just been killed not long ago.

These monster corpses must have been left behind by Qin Han as he passed.

There were traces of broken shrubs in the jungle. Following these traces, Nie Yan tracked for about half an hour. In the distance, a towering temple appeared in his sight through the fog. The temple was dozens of yards high, covering a thousand-yard area, and was magnificent, looking extremely grand.

The fact that the temple in this dense forest was so magnificent shocked Nie Yan.

In his previous life, when Nie Yan came here, it was already a ruin. Although it covered a large area, he could vaguely feel the outline of the temple, but on top of the ruins, there was nothing but some wandering skeletons. Now, however, the temple exuded a strong sacred aura, and the outside of the temple was full of flowers, like a sacred place.

Nie Yan slowly sneaked towards the temple. He saw a huge Bone Dragon standing on the top of the temple. Its pair of huge bone claws were firmly gripping the eaves of the temple. It let out a heavy roar, and with every flap of its wings, the entire temple trembled, and pieces of gravel fell from above.

Nie Yan looked into the temple and saw several corpses lying at the entrance, wearing white priest robes. They were obviously priests of this temple, but he didn't know who had killed them. The corpses were left here. Nie Yan guessed that Qin Han and the Necromancer had probably entered the temple. He thought for a moment, sneaked in, and slowly walked inside along the corridor of the temple.

The temple was full of corpses lying on the ground, which was shocking. The aura of light on their bodies had been completely eroded, emitting a stench, and black pus flowed from their wounds. Nie Yan was secretly shocked. Had all this been done by the Necromancer Bodman?

Nie Yan slowed down and carefully concealed himself, adding several skills to himself to increase the effect of stealth. Although he knew that these skills would be very limited in front of the Necromancer Bodman, adding them would definitely not hurt. If he encountered the Necromancer Bodman in the corridor, Nie Yan estimated that he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Slowly passing through this corridor area, a large hall appeared in front of him. Looking towards it, there were vaguely a few figures, and some voices were heard.

"Despicable demon, the God of Light will never forgive the sins you have committed. One day, you will be turned into dust in the void, and you will fall into the silent abyss of darkness forever!"

The voice was deep and solemn, followed by several sharp, strange laughs.

"A bunch of stupid believers, so obsessed even when death is upon you. Why doesn't your God of Light come to save you? Give me what you have in your hands and become my servants. You will gain eternal life!"

Then there were a few more lines of dialogue. Nie Yan revealed a trace of confusion. What exactly was the Necromancer Bodman looking for? Just as he was thinking, a violent magical fluctuation came from the distant hall. Light and darkness elements rubbed against each other violently, and a dark corrosive force shot out from the hall, hitting a stone pillar not far from Nie Yan. The stone pillar, which two people could embrace, instantly shattered, and several huge stones above collapsed.

Nie Yan used Gale Step and quickly moved away. With a bang, the place where he had been standing was covered with rubble. Nie Yan's expression changed slightly. These NPCs were too powerful. Their power was simply not something Nie Yan could contend with. If he continued to get closer, it meant that he would be taking a great risk to his life. But leaving like this, Nie Yan was a little unwilling. After thinking about it, he activated his Crawl skill, stuck to the stone wall, and moved towards the hall. He held a random teleport scroll in his hand. If something went wrong, he would use the random teleport scroll to run away quickly.

In the center of the hall, the battle had entered a fever pitch. The Necromancer Bodman waved his staff, and countless screaming ghosts surged towards the front of the hall, where three holy priests wearing silver-gray robes stood in a triangular formation, supporting a white barrier. The priest standing in the front was older, with a long white beard and a solemn face, shrouded in a glorious holy light. As for what the other two looked like, it was no longer clear.

At this time, in the corner of the hall, Qin Han, wearing a black robe, hid his face under his hood, making it impossible to see his expression.

Nie Yan had already climbed to the top of the temple hall, clinging firmly to the wall, his eyes locked on the people below.

The Necromancer Bodman and the three priests were fighting fiercely, with spells colliding against each other, back and forth. Therefore, they did not notice Nie Yan's arrival.

The temple trembled violently, as if the Bone Dragon wanted to overturn the entire temple. If the temple had not been blessed with a powerful holy power, it might have been destroyed by the Bone Dragon long ago.

Sticking to the top of the hall, Nie Yan could feel cracks appearing on the walls, as if they were about to collapse.

If it collapsed, he would be the first to suffer!

If it were an ordinary person, they might have retreated, but Nie Yan had a near-mad adventurous spirit. He bet that the priests would not be so easily killed, because he felt a powerful and pure holy power from those priests, somewhat similar to the holy power on Kals.

Those priests were also Legendary-level!

Nie Yan wanted to take advantage of the priests and the Necromancer Bodman fighting to fish in troubled waters, to see if he could get some benefits.

The Necromancer Bodman was too powerful. He waved his staff, and countless ghosts swirled and danced non-stop outside the white barrier shield, colliding with the barrier. The barrier groaned and trembled, almost breaking.

"You foolish guys, any resistance is useless. Surrender to the power of darkness, let it embrace you, and return to silence and death." The Necromancer Bodman laughed wildly, and a torrent of dark magic elements formed around his body, blooming into black lotuses.

A powerful dark force swept over, Nie Yan's mind was a little dazed, and he felt the power in his body was quickly flowing away from him. He almost fell from the top of the hall. He was shocked, it was a mental control spell!

Mental Immunity!

Nie Yan immediately activated the Mental Immunity skill, and a big miss floated from his head.

At this time, countless ghosts surged towards the Holy Light Barrier, colliding fiercely. With a bang, the Holy Light Barrier shattered, and the ghosts, like a tide, surged towards the three priests in the center.

It's over!

Nie Yan frowned. If the three priests couldn't hold on, he would have to retreat quickly. The random teleport scroll was already in his hand.
