A'Doh finally broke free from the rooftop, his entire body weak and limp like a broken puppet. His body fell towards the ground, but before he could hit it, Saint Evil swooped in, flapping its massive dragon wings to catch him on its back. A'Doh sat astride Saint Evil's head, between the first golden horn on its forehead and the second one at the front of its neck, clinging to the first horn as he panted heavily. The remaining True Energy within his body worked to heal his wounded flesh, waves of weakness spreading throughout his entire being.
Sheng Xie roared and stepped towards the Bone Dragon, which felt threatened by death. The massive body of the Bone Dragon trembled continuously as it curled up together. Ah-Dai's heart softened, and he patted Sheng Xie's back, saying: "Forget it, don't kill it. It was just used by those bad people. Killing it won't make a difference." The Bone Dragon nodded repeatedly, looking pitiful, and seemed to have gained some consciousness after being attacked by Sheng Xie's holy energy earlier.
The holy evil suddenly stopped in its tracks, let out a loud hum towards the Bone Dragon, which was so frightened that it instantly went limp on the ground and didn't dare to move. Ah-Dai turned his head to look at the crowd of magicians, only to see that they all seemed to have been petrified, including the six old magicians who came out later, standing still in their original positions, with their eyes fixed on Ah-Dai. The black hexagram was shrouded in a colorful glow, unable to release any more dark creatures, and the situation was finally under control. Rock and Rockforce had also rushed over, looking a bit disheveled, with several tears in their clothes revealing the giant snake skin vest underneath. They too had never seen the holy evil before and were stunned on the spot, unsure of what to do. Ah-Dai only then realized that he had been too impulsive, actually releasing the holy evil in front of everyone.
With great effort, Ah-Dai controlled his body and jumped down from Sheng-Xie's back. As he landed, his body swayed and almost fell over. Sheng-Xie's golden eyes showed a worried gaze, and he rubbed his head against Ah-Dai's body as if asking about his injuries. Ah-Dai said softly, "Little Xie, I'm fine. I don't want to kill this Bone Dragon, what should we do?"
Sheng Xie blinked, lifted his front paw, pointed to Ah Duan's chest, and hummed softly. Ah Duan's heart moved, and he suddenly understood Sheng Xie's meaning. He said in a low voice, "There are too many people here, you should go back first. With the dragon's blood as the key, open it, the great gate of time and space." A blue light emanated from Ah Duan's chest, and Gu Long was sucked in first, followed by Sheng Xie, who entered the dragon's blood under the illumination of the blue light.
A'Doh sat down on the ground with a thud, panting non-stop. He was in dire need of finding a place to treat his injuries. The Holy Evil had disappeared, and it wasn't until then that everyone slowly came back to their senses from their shock. Yan Shi and Yan Li quickly stepped forward and helped A'Doh up, Yan Li asking: "A'Doh, what's going on?! What were those two huge things just now?"
Six old magicians surrounded him, with the rest of the magicians gathering around, and Stada said: "Young brother, what kind of magic was that just now! It's so powerful, you can actually summon such a huge creature, it's really unbelievable. Summoning magic has long been lost, where did you learn it from?"
"Ah, don't ask me, I...I..." Ah-Dai said with a bitter smile. The intense dizziness made him unable to hold on any longer, his body went limp and he fainted into the arms of the rock. Fainting, perhaps it was the best way to answer everyone's question.
The only earth-system magician among the six elderly magicians frowned and said, "This child has consumed too much, let him rest first." He looked at the Rock Brothers and said, "I am Kari, the president of the Magician's Guild and an earth-system magic conductor. Thank you for your help, please follow us to the back for now."
Yan Shi looked at Ah Dai's weak appearance and nodded: "Alright then, thank you, Kari will grow up."
Kari turned to the surrounding mages and said in a low voice, "No one is to speak of today's events. Lirico, go find someone to repair the guild house. No one is to approach that sealed dark passage. The five elders, please personally visit the Temple of Sacrifice in the city and bring back the high priest. Perhaps his light magic can completely eliminate this dark passage." Due to the poor relationship between the Hua Sheng Empire and the Church, there was only a Temple of Sacrifice in Guangming City, but the priests generally did not interact with ordinary people, and only the big shots of the Magic Guild had the ability to invite their high priest. Fortunately, the black-robed mage who used forbidden magic did not have enough power to unleash the true might of this forbidden magic, otherwise, even the five great elders of the Magic Guild and Kari would not have been able to seal that dark passage.
The five elders nodded one after another and went to carry out the order. Kari rushed forward, saying "Follow me!" as he turned around and walked away.
Kari didn't ask the Rock Brothers anything, but instead arranged a large room for them and had the Water System Magician from the Guild give Ah-Dai some simple treatment. Ah-Dai's internal organs were shaken, but under the Water System Magician's treatment, his injuries gradually stabilized, he just couldn't wake up due to excessive consumption of energy. Kari ordered people to provide a large amount of food for the Rock Brothers and told them that when Ah-Dai woke up, they should call the guard at the door to find him.
After making all the arrangements, Kari led more than a dozen members of the Magic Guild to the Lord's Manor in Bright City. On the surface, Kari did not show any emotions, but he was extremely angry in his heart. This enemy sneak attack was obviously premeditated, and so many assassins and dark magicians appeared in Bright City, yet he had not received any news. The opponent had even used the devil's summoning, such a forbidden spell, apparently intending to destroy the Magic Guild, or even destroy Bright City, with such vicious intentions, shocking this earth-system mage who had been cultivating for many years. He understood that this sneak attack was not only aimed at the Magic Guild but also at the entire Hua Sheng Empire.
Arriving at the entrance of the castle lord's mansion, Kari stopped in his tracks and shouted to the gatekeeper: "Please help us announce our presence. Tell them that Kari, the head of the magician's guild, requests an audience with your lordship."
The gatekeeper, seeing so many magicians, was already frightened out of his wits and hastily agreed to report back to the mansion. After a short while, the gate opened wide and a man in his fifties, surrounded by guards, came out to greet them. This person had an upright air about him, and although he was over fifty years old, he showed no signs of aging. His deep eyes revealed his extraordinary mind, and his simple white robe could not conceal his majestic physique. He was none other than the Lord of Light City, Orlados. In the Empire of Hua Sheng, he held a very high position, especially in the military department, where he ranked second only to Commander Feng Wen. When it came to fighting, he would always charge forward bravely, leading his troops from the front lines and earning the admiration of his soldiers. The entire army of Light Province was under his command, directly answering to the imperial court. At the same time, he was also the elder brother of the current empress of the empire, a hereditary marquis, which is why the Empire of Hua Sheng would not have sent him to garrison such an important place as Light Province otherwise.
"Kari will grow, what wind brought you here." Ordos laughed and walked forward. The relationship between the Magician's Guild and the Hua Sheng Empire had always been far better than other countries, and the Hua Sheng Empire was also the only country with a magician army, so even if it was someone like Ordos, who was a high-ranking official, meeting the president of the Magician's Guild would still be very respectful. Moreover, the two had already been friends for many years.
Kari sighed and said, "Lord of the city, let's go in and talk about it. There is something very important that I need to report to you."
Ardos slightly stiffened, looking at Kari's heavy expression, knowing that something extremely important must have happened, and hurriedly said: "President, please come in." The two of them entered the city lord's mansion under the escort of the guards and the crowd of magicians. Ardos dismissed his attendants and brought Kari to his own secret chamber. Kari had the magicians who followed him wait outside, leaving only him and Ardos in the secret chamber. Ardos said in a low voice: "Brother Kari, what exactly happened that made you come find me personally?"
Kari's eyes showed a worried expression, saying: "This time the matter is very serious. Just now, more than 20 people broke into our magician guild, trying to kill our magicians and using dark forbidden magic. Among these people, there were five dark magicians. Judging from their strength, at least one of them has the level of a magic guide. The rest are all powerful killers."
Aorde was shocked and pale, the security of Guangming City had always been good, suddenly such a thing happened, and it happened in the Magician Guild. As the lord of the city, he had an inescapable responsibility. He hastily said: "Kari brother, how many casualties are there in the guild? I haven't received any news here!"
Kari sighed and said, "Fortunately, there was a self-proclaimed Tianxia Sword Sect disciple in the guild who had extremely high martial skills. He took heavy damage to himself to block those people's attacks and gave us time to escape. However, they actually used forbidden demonic summoning, clearly intending to destroy both us and the Mages' Guild. Their intentions are so malicious that there must be a reason behind it. They've already escaped."
A'ordo hesitated for a moment, turned his head and walked out of the secret room, instructing his personal guard to pass down the order, immediately putting Guangming City on high alert and dispatching troops to search for the enemy's trail.
After giving the order, Ordos returned to the secret room. "I've sent people to search already. Kari big brother, who do you think is so bold as to even dare move against your Magician's Guild?"
Kari snorted coldly and said, "No need for me to point it out, I think you should be able to guess."
A'oldos took a deep breath in reverse and muttered: "You're saying that you are from the Empire of Dusk?"
Kari nodded and said with deep meaning: "The Magician's Guild has always been attached to the Hua Sheng Empire, and it will inevitably pose a great threat to the Lu Ri Empire. The number of magicians in the other three countries combined is not as many as that of the Hua Sheng Empire. Moreover, those magicians are basically all under the control of the guild. If Hua Sheng and Lu Ri go to war, with the help of the magicians, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Lu Ri Empire to hold on!"
A'erdosi paced back and forth in the room, after a while, he stopped and said with a cold glint in his eyes: "So to speak, the Empire of Luojiao has ambitions to invade our country's territory."
"Although it can't be proven that the Sunset Empire has such intentions, we must still be on guard. With the cunning of the Sunset Empire, it's not impossible. Only they have the ability to gather so many dark magic users to launch a surprise attack on our Magic Guild. Ol, you must be careful! The Light Province and the Dark Province of the Sunset Empire are adjacent, if war breaks out, this place will be the first to bear the brunt. I won't say more, the guild is now in a state of panic, I need to go back and handle it. I hope you can send some troops to protect us. As the Guild Master, I will immediately issue an order to gather all the scattered magic users within the empire as soon as possible, ready to respond at any time."
A'erdai nodded and said, "Alright, I won't keep you any longer. I will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible, and everything will be decided by him. By the way, Kali big brother, if there's a chance, I'd like to meet that Tianxia Sword Sect expert who saved you."
Kari walked out, stopping at the door and said: "Alright, I'll try to arrange it. Brother, you should also make preparations on your side! You're a famous strategist, you should understand the principle of not fighting unprepared battles. Although we hope for peace, when jackals come, we must give them a head-on blow."
"Thank you, Kari brother. You too need to be careful, the overall situation of the Magician's Guild still needs your control."
Kari didn't say a word, walked out of the secret room and returned to the Mages Guild with his own mages. Not long after they left, Ordo sent a thousand-strong City Guard Garrison to be stationed around the guild, with all passersby under their surveillance.
Three days later, the army of Guangming Xing Province began to mobilize on a large scale under the pretext of military training. Eight elite legions and a hundred-strong mage legion were concentrated along the border between the Huasheng Empire and the Luori Empire. Logistics supplies were rapidly assembled in the front line with strong national strength support. Among the four empires, the location of the Huasheng Empire was the best. To their south was the coastline, while to the east were the Mountains of Death and the Tiange Mountains, two large mountain ranges that separated them from the Suoyu Federation. Only the Luori Empire in the west could pose a threat to them. The Suoyu Federation, although the strongest and largest in territory, was divided into six major ethnic groups, making it unlikely to pose a threat to any country.
The next morning, Ah-Dai finally woke up from his daze. Since the silver-golden body in his Dantian, even without deliberate cultivation, the true energy inside him would slowly flow on its own. After a day of rest, the breath inside him had completely stabilized and his powers had recovered somewhat.
Opening his eyes, Ah-Dai's consciousness gradually recovered, and the pain all over his body made him involuntarily let out a low groan. Looking around, he found that in this unfamiliar room, there was only himself. Ah-Dai's mood was exceptionally heavy. He had thought that after being taught by his master, Tian-Gang Sword Saint, his abilities would be enough to travel the continent without any problems and seek revenge against the Killer's Guild. But who knew that just a few ordinary killers and some magicians could render him helpless? How could he possibly avenge Uncle Owen now? The power of Sheng-Sheng had been enormous, but his own abilities were not sufficient to sustain it for long periods of time. When would he be able to reach the level of his master, who could seize the heavens and create life? A sense of despair filled Ah-Dai's heart, making his body feel even weaker.
While Ah-Dai was daydreaming, the door opened and Yan Shi and Yan Li walked in. Yan Li said: "Big brother, the food at the Magician's Guild is really not bad, there are so many types of breakfast."
"The rock grumbled: 'You only know how to eat, Ah-Dai has been unconscious for a whole day, don't even know if he's better or not. We're really unlucky, originally came to collect money, but got dragged into the conflict between the Assassin's Guild and the Mage's Guild.'"
A'Dai struggled to sit up, "Rocky brother, you're back. Is... is this the Mages' Guild?"
As soon as Ah Dai woke up, the rock was overjoyed and hurriedly came over to support Ah Dai's body, saying: "Brother, we are in the Magic Guild, how are you? Are your injuries better? What were you doing so desperately that day?"
"Ah, I couldn't just watch those assassins kill the people of the Magic Guild."
Yan Shi Chong Yan said: "You take care of Ah Dai here, I'll go tell Ka Li about the matter of waking him up." After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked out.
Yan Li took the place of Yan Shi, letting Ah Diao lean on his shoulder and said: "Brother, you're really something! So many assassins attacked you but you withstood them all. One word, strong."
A'Dai sighed and said: "My strength is still too weak, otherwise I wouldn't have been seriously injured. Who is that Kari that Brother Rock mentioned?"
Ganryu: "Kari is the leader here, I didn't expect this to be the headquarters of the Mages' Guild. Those mages are all very grateful to you! Without you, they would have had many casualties at the hands of the assassins. What was with those two big guys that day? That power was terrifying!"
It suddenly occurred to him that the Bone Dragon was still contained within the Divine Dragon's Blood. Although the Bone Dragon's strength was formidable, it was far inferior to the Heavenly Mountain's Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Spirit Snake. If he were in his prime, using the solid energy transformed from his life force should be enough to defeat it. With a stir in his heart, he said: "That Bone Dragon was summoned by the Dark Magician who was with the Assassin, and as for that dragon, I think it was summoned by me." The Heavenly Sword Saint had warned him not to casually reveal the matters of the Sacred Evil.
Yanliwa let out a shout of surprise, saying: "Brother, I didn't know your magic was so powerful! I've never heard of anyone who can summon a dragon before. Earlier when I said your magic was bad, it seems I was wrong."
"Yes, summoning a dragon. I'm the president of the magician's guild and even I've never heard of it." The door opened and Kari and Rock walked in together. He was still wearing his yellow magic robe with a faint smile on his face. Walking quickly to the bedside, he smiled and said: "You're Ah-Dai, right? This time we really owe you, or else our magician's guild would have suffered a great loss."
With a silly smile, he said: "Don't be polite, are you the president of the trade union?"
Kari nodded and said, "That day you really opened our eyes wide. I didn't expect that you could summon a dragon. Although I've never seen what a dragon looks like, I think the one you summoned must be the most sacred silver dragon. Only the powerful and sacred aura of the silver dragon can subdue the evil bone dragon so quickly. Can you tell me how you summoned the silver dragon?" It turned out that after the holy evil evolution, the gray scales on his body produced a bright luster, and under the illumination of the light, it could indeed flash a faint silver light. And since no one on the mainland had ever seen what a dragon looked like, the holy evil successfully defeated the bone dragon and was naturally beautified by the crowd of magicians.
The silly Ah Diao muttered to himself, unable to respond, and stuttered without being able to say a word.
Kari didn't force him, "You don't have to say it, this powerful summoning magic is naturally a personal secret. However, as the president of the magician's guild, I am deeply honored to have such a high-powered magician like you in our guild."
A'Doh smiled wryly in his heart, he was just a mid-level magician who could only cast fireball and flame spells. With the help of Saint Evil, he had become some kind of powerful magician, but he couldn't explain it either. He could only say vaguely: "I, I just happened to be lucky, and I didn't have any control over summoning the dragon you mentioned."
Kari nodded and said, "I've seen records of summoning magic in some seniors' magical notes. The success of summoning magic does have a certain probability, but despite that, your summoning magic is still surprising to us! Especially when you returned the summoned dragon at the end, you also took away the skull dragon. How much magical power do you need to achieve this? But I've checked your body, and although your spiritual power is not weak, it seems to be a distance from that level."
A'Diao couldn't answer Kari's words at all, and had to change the subject, asking: "Kari will grow up, why did those black-clothed people attack the Magic Association that day?"
As soon as the black-robed invaders were mentioned, Kari's thoughts turned to that direction. His face sank and he coldly snorted: "Those despicable guys naturally have someone backing them. However, it's better if you know less about these things. Those dark magic users who came that day were extremely powerful, especially the one who summoned a demon - his magical abilities are probably close to those of a magic conductor. Luckily we dealt with it in time and sealed away the forbidden magic before it could take effect; otherwise, if too many dark creatures appeared, Light City would have been doomed. After a day's effort from the priests of the Holy See, they finally completely eliminated that dark portal - what a close call! By the way, Ah-Dai, are you really from the Tian-Feng Sword Sect? I'm good friends with your sect's Master Luo-Wen."
"That's my fourth aunt."
Kari's eyes revealed a look of surprise, saying: "So you are still the third generation disciple of the Tianxia Sword Sect, no wonder at such a young age you have achieved so much, your future prospects are boundless!"
Ah-Dai said somewhat dejectedly: "My skills are still too low, that day I almost died at the hands of Bone Dragon."
Kari smiled and said, "Foolish child, don't belittle yourself, your abilities are not inferior at all. To be able to withstand the attacks of five mages and twenty assassins with just one person's power can only be described as a miracle. However, it seems that you're still not very skilled in using your own strength, otherwise, your attacks would definitely have been even more powerful."
"Really? But I feel like I'm so useless."
"Of course it's true, with your own strength, you saved the lives of over a dozen mages in the guild. How could that be useless? You can say you're the guild's benefactor! Alright, don't think too much about it, get some rest and recover first. If there's anything you need, just say so, the guild will try its best to satisfy you."
Looking at Kari's sincere smile, Ah-Dai's confidence gradually returned, and his pale face suddenly had a few more spirits. "Thank you, Kari will be fine, I don't need anything, just rest for a while and I'll be okay."
Kari nodded and said, "Alright, I won't disturb you. I'll leave first. Tomorrow, I'll come visit you again."
Yan Shi and Yan Li sent Kari out the door, Ah Dai leaned on the bed, recalling what Kari had just said, that he himself had blocked the attacks of five mages and twenty assassins, it seemed that he really wasn't weak after all!
Yan Shi asked: "Ah Dai, what are you thinking about? You just woke up, want to eat something?"
A'Dai woke up from his thoughts, shook his head and said: "No need to eat anything else, Brother Rock, please help me protect the law, I need to hurry up and cultivate my skills to heal my injuries." Since breaking through the sixth realm of True Qi, A'Dai was no longer as eager for food. With the endless supply of True Qi nourishing his body, he only needed a small amount of food to sustain himself.
"Alright, then hurry up and recover quickly, once you're better, we can all set off early."
A'Dai closed his eyes, concentrated his mind and urged the true energy in his dantian to rise. The silver golden body gradually brightened up, and the thick true energy traveled along the meridians, continuously repairing those damaged meridians. Since his true energy reached the eighth level, the silver golden body that condensed a huge amount of energy began to grow with each of his cultivations, although the growth was extremely small, A'Dai could clearly feel it slowly growing larger. He was very clear that when the three-inch-high golden body at his chest completely melted into his dantian, his power would reach the ideal state of Tian Gang Sword Saint. But until now, he still had no way to absorb the energy of the golden body at his chest.
His internal injuries were almost fully recovered under the powerful healing effect of his True Qi after eighteen cycles, and his strength was quickly recovering. By the twenty-seventh cycle, the silver Golden Body in his Dantian had regained its former luster. Ah-Dai did not stop, continuing to cultivate, and since he had not yet completed the 99 cycles of the Grand Cycle after leaving Tianfan Mountain, he took this opportunity to consolidate his strength.
It took a whole day and night to complete the eighty-first cycle. At dawn, Ah-Dai opened his eyes, feeling the surging energy inside him, and an unusual sense of comfort in his chest. The sound of even breathing came from beside him, and Ah-Dai found that Yan Shi was sleeping by the bed, apparently guarding him all along. Yan Li was snoring loudly on the bed next to them. Ah-Dai's heart warmed up, and he floated down to the ground without making a sound. He gently patted Yan Shi's shoulder.
The rock was startled and suddenly woke up. When he saw that the one who had patted him was Ah Diao, his body relaxed. "Brother, how are you? Has your strength recovered?"
Looking at the rock's tired appearance, Ah Diao was moved to say: "Big brother, you should go rest for a while now, my powers have fully recovered."
"Alright, now that you're better, I'm going to take a nap. I'm exhausted. There's food on the table, help yourself." With that said, he flipped over and fell asleep instantly, his snores filling the air.
Ah-Dai was covered with a quilt on the rock, turned around and thought of going to the table. He hadn't eaten anything for two days, and he was indeed a bit hungry. On the table were several small dishes and six or seven steamed buns, which had already gone cold. It seemed that Yan Shi had prepared them for him last night. But he didn't expect his cultivation to take so long.
After eating breakfast, Ah Diao took off the dirty clothes on his body. When he was severely injured by Bone Dragon, not only were his clothes torn, but they were also stained with a lot of his own blood that he had spat out. He changed into the last set of cloth clothes brought from Shitang Town. It seemed that he really needed to buy some clothes to wear. His rate of consuming clothes was simply too fast.
Ah-Dai is now eager to know the situation of the Bone Dragon that has been infused with the Divine Dragon's Blood. However, here, he doesn't dare to easily release the Bone Dragon. Not to mention that this room is relatively small and the Bone Dragon may not fit in it. If the Bone Dragon were to be released and destroy the architecture here, Ah-Dai fears that Kali would go all out against him. How can he find out about the situation of the Bone Dragon? Ah-Dai sits on a chair, takes out the Divine Dragon's Blood, looks at the faint blue glow on its surface, and thinks deeply.
Suddenly, Ah-Dai remembered the scene where he received the Bone Dragon that day. It seemed that Sheng Xie was telling him in his heart to use the Divine Dragon's blood to receive the Bone Dragon. So, Sheng Xie's thoughts should be able to pass through a certain channel to communicate with himself. But what is this channel? If you can find this channel, then you can communicate with Sheng Xie, and that would be a wonderful thing!
The path, the path, Ah-Dai thought, Sheng Xie won't speak, the only way to communicate with Sheng Xie is through spiritual power. Thinking of this, his brain which had become somewhat clear after receiving the Tianjian Sheng's transmission suddenly became enlightened, and he hurriedly activated the spiritual power in his body, carefully pouring it into the Shenlong blood in his hand.
The Dragon's Blood did not reject the spiritual energy he input, and he seemed to feel himself entering a blue ocean. In this ocean filled with immense energy, there were many things, exactly those items he left in the Dragon's Blood. He continued to expand his spiritual energy, surprised to find that the ocean also contained two powerful life forms. Those should be Holy Evil and the Bone Dragon that was taken in.
