"Miss Jiang Zhizi, how long until your Spiritual Pressure is exhausted?"

"Two days." The woman looked up indifferently, "What’s wrong?"

Using the Spiritual Artifact does not consume much in the way of Spiritual Particles, so she could maintain it for quite a while.

"Um... could you give me this flower and the Lost Person inside?" Xia Feng briefly explained the matter of the sacrifice.

Jiang Zhizi hesitated for a moment, somewhat reluctantly nodded: "Okay."

She did not really want to give it, but she had to, given that the man before her could actually just take it by force, there was no need to negotiate with her.

"The purpose of the Garden is actually the Lost Person?" Cha Naixue was somewhat surprised, "But how do you know?"

"It was told to me by the Peach Organization."

Xia Feng only mentioned that the Archbishop’s goal was the sacrifice, but did not mention the thing about the Life Roulette.

"Moreover, the organization just gave a command, telling us to set off immediately." Xia Feng smiled slightly, hands behind his back, his voice resounding, "Kill the Archbishop!"

Cha Naixue: "Ah?"

Mu Qingtong: "?"

"But the Archbishop is a Fifth Rank Spirit Master, what can we use to fight him?" Cha Naixue was somewhat speechless, "Unless Black Spade and Red Spade come over."

"Don’t worry about that; I have a clever plan," Xia Feng said with a confident smile.

"What are you planning to do?" Mu Qingtong’s clear voice rang in his heart.

Xia Feng turned his head, meeting the puzzled gaze of the woman in the black dress.

"Miss Mu, tell me, we have all advanced to Third Rank now, and together with Cha Naixue, is it possible for us to kill the Archbishop?"

"In your dreams."

"Is it a dream to kill him?"

"It’s a dream to think we could kill him." Mu Qingtong shattered Xia Feng’s wild imaginations, shaking her head softly, "As we go further, the gap in realms becomes harder to bridge. Ye Li Xing had just entered the Fourth Rank, not only is his Spiritual Pressure unstable, he hasn’t even learned many of the Spiritual Clothes he should have, which is why we could easily defeat him when we joined forces."

"Archbishop Aus, immersed in the Fifth Rank for many years, even if five Ye Li Xings joined together, they might not be able to defeat him."

"I see, alright..." Xia Feng nodded, although there was a great probability of being tortured by the Archbishop, he still planned to seek out the Archbishop, and then ’accidentally’ let 100 Lost Nobles be captured by the Archbishop.

To help the Archbishop complete the 9,900 sacrifices standard.

His main goal was not to kill the Archbishop, but to copy and snatch the Archbishop’s Spiritual Artifact.

In case of life-threatening dangers, he still had Black Crow feathers as a backup, ready to directly take everyone and escape back to the Evil Dragon Space.

Castle, at the center of the spacious hall, an old man dressed in black and gold flowing divine robes stood with his hands behind him in front of an Array, and said in a deep voice:

"It’s been twenty-four hours, why haven’t your subordinates returned yet?"

"They are dead."

The Eternal Day Envoy - Viper stepped out from the shadows, removing his mask, his dark green snake eyes slightly sinister, "I just received the news that the lights of Yellow Rat and other agents were extinguished, signifying that their souls have scattered."

"Tssk," the Goddess’s envoy with the Golden Eye Mask lazily leaned against the stone pillar in the corner, chuckling softly. "Just like I said, these two rats are unreliable. Tsk tsk, the Burning Heaven Sect is truly a bunch of trash."

Archbishop Aus fell silent for a moment, his sparse eyebrows furrowing. If these two subordinates from Burning Heaven were dead, then Yeli Xing’s chances were probably slim too. It had not been easy to cultivate a Fourth Rank, and to die abruptly like this infuriated him without name.

"Could it be that the Peach Organization sent someone of a higher level into the garden?" Viper squinted slightly.

"Absolutely impossible," the old man said sternly, shaking his head. "With the help of the Star Bone Pillar, the sealed domain of the garden is fully deployed. Even if a deity were to descend, they would be detected."

"And the two from the Military Department and Holy Department are still in the north facing off against the Knight Order I dispatched. They couldn’t possibly help Cha Naixue and the others."

"That’s strange then…" Viper’s gray-white lips flickered with a snake-like tongue, his eyes darkening.

"What’s so strange about that?" the man with the Golden Eye Mask scoffed disdainfully. "It’s nothing but one of those three brats hiding their true strength. My guess, it’s that pretty girl called Cha Naixue playing the fool to catch the wise, probably already advanced to Fourth Rank. Yeli Xing going there was just delivering himself on a platter."

Archbishop Aus nodded. This indeed seemed the most likely scenario. It appeared that he had underestimated the strength of the Holy Daughter’s party previously, leading him to a somewhat passive state now, even unable to complete the Star God Projection Ceremony.

Archbishop Aus looked toward the elaborate Array in the middle of the hall, with a radius of ten meters.

Fifty Divine Robe Priests wearing pure gold masks formed a circle around the edge of the Array. They knelt with hands in prayer, heads bowed, murmuring words.

This was the "Star Shadow Ceremony," an Array that could summon the Star God they worshipped to descend.

However, now the Array was missing the most crucial spiritual material, the Star Bone Glass!

Originally, he had planned to use this Array to request the protection of the Eternal Day Goddess, to avert a sudden attack by the Peach Organization and safely get through the sacrificial stage.

But now, complications had arisen…

Fortunately, it seemed that the higher-ups of the Peach Organization had no intention of appearing.

"Your Excellency Jiang Li," Archbishop Aus turned toward the man with the Golden Eye Mask, his voice filled with doubt, "I’ve heard that your Burning Heaven has a method to complete the Star Shadow Ceremony without the Star Bone Glass."

"Hehe~" Jiang Li rolled his eyes, "That would require the sacrifice of my life. If you think you can subdue me, Archbishop, you might try."

"You jest," the old man replied unflinchingly with a light smile. "Please just help me summon the Goddess as usual."

The man with the Golden Eye Mask huffed coldly and fell silent. In truth, he was not very keen on helping the old man summon the Goddess; after all, he only had one chance to ask for the Goddess’s help, and once used, it was gone.

But he had no choice, as there was cooperation between the Burning Heaven Temple and Archbishop Aus, so he had to follow orders.

"Very well, gentlemen," Archbishop Aus shifted his gaze from the Array, speaking calmly, "Since Yeli Xing and his team have failed, could I bother one of you gentlemen to make a trip and capture the Holy Daughter?"

Viper and Jiang Li, both Fifth Rank Spirit Masters, were here to assist in protecting the Archbishop and to guard against a sudden attack from high-level members of the Peach Organization.

As Fifth Rank experts, personally stepping in to capture three lower realm Spirit Masters was somewhat beneath them. Viper’s vertical pupils stayed calm, silent, and of course, his habitual laziness was the main issue—unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to move.

Seeing this, Archbishop Aus looked toward the man with the Golden Eye Mask.

Jiang Li, arms crossed and leaning against the pillar, asked in confusion, "You want me to go?" Continue reading stories on novelbuddy

The old man slightly furrowed his brow, "Your Excellency Jiang Li, if you are unwilling…"

"No, I am of course willing," Jiang Li grinned lightly, "consider it a walk after dinner."

This old man actually entrusting such a task to him, he naturally would comply with reverence. He wouldn’t defy orders from above, but if Cha Naixue couldn’t be captured and the Star Bone Glass remained unfound because of that, then it wouldn’t be a matter of him defying orders.

If thus the Goddess couldn’t descend, he would also save a chance to request the Goddess’s help.

So, he had decided, he’d just deliberately fail and quietly wait for the Peach Organization to come and deal with this foolish old man and that silly Viper. That would settle everything!

Thinking this, he smirked beneath his mask, waved his hand, and turned away, "I’m off."
