Chapter 558: 526. Instrument pillar
Snow Castle.
Xia Feng had intended to make breakfast to satisfy his hunger,
but he hadn't expected that just upon reaching the kitchen, he'd sense an anomaly in the will of the bee swarm.
This was a warning intuition produced by him as a bee whenever Jiang Qiue, the Queen Bee, encountered danger.
It must be said, the Queen Bee Curse was quite useful, allowing him to sense Jiang Qiue's condition at any time.
However, what puzzled Xia Feng was the fact that they were currently within the territory of the Black Moon Church. What danger could Jiang Qiue possibly encounter?
Could it be... was this a trap set by those two old coins?
Hmm... it seemed unlikely. After all, if it were a trap, the response was too quick, especially since they had only left a few minutes ago.
While frowning and pondering, Xia Feng couldn't help but sigh, looking up at the nun quietly reading on the sofa.
"Miss Mu, it seems we must go out after all."
Mu Qingtong looked up, puzzled, "Where to?"
"Those two foolish Holy Daughters might have been ambushed and trapped in some Calamity Realm."
Since the range of the bee swarm's will was extremely far, but Xia Feng was currently unable to contact Jiang Qiue, he speculated that Jiang Qiue might not be in the Present Realm, but might have fallen into some interdimensional plane like the Calamity Realm.
Soon, the two of them disguised as ordinary Believers, left the Snow Castle, and passed through areas such as the residential district, military training grounds, and worship halls. The place was bustling with constant traffic.
It seemed there were no abnormalities within the Church Court.
However, as the two approached the main sanctuary area, Xia Feng keenly sensed the aura of the Calamity Realm.
Did the Evil Clan really exist within the Church Court?
The next moment, Xia Feng realized through the sensation in his heart that this was not a Calamity Realm released by the Evil Clan, but rather a disorderly and irregular barrier of the Calamity Realm formed by Divine Relics.
It didn't serve much purpose and covered only a small area—its sole function was to sever contact with the Present Realm.
Thus, it was hard for ordinary people to notice the existence of this Calamity Realm barrier.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong concealed their forms, occasionally using the Holy Knight Space to sprint through the main sanctuary area, noticing fewer and fewer patrolling Knight teams as they moved towards the center until there were none.
They quickly reached the central area, passing through a thin barrier membrane in an instant, and a familiar aura wrapped around Xia Feng's heart.
Looking up, the towering spire of the main sanctuary stood majestic, piercing straight into the sky.
However, from behind the firmly closed doors of the Holy Temple, a certain aura that Xia Feng greatly resisted faintly emanated.
"Snow Plain Consciousness?" Xia Feng frowned, and directly activated the Eye of Decompilation. He could see the scenario inside the temple, where many geniuses were imprisoned and about to be sacrificed.
Purple Mist, Obrian, Olivia, Russell, White Cat Woman...
Xia Feng quickly identified the enemy and understood the perilous situation of Cha Naixue and Jiang Qiue.
This made his brow furrow even deeper; this Black Moon Church was toxic, always stirring up trouble, and now there was even an internal conflict?
However, no matter what Obrian's intentions were, Xia Feng would not allow the two Holy Daughters, who had been so difficult to enslave, to be assimilated in thinking.
"Three Venerable level, one True Martial level," Xia Feng pondered. "Miss Mu, do we stand a chance?"
"If you're willing to 'die' once more, then yes," Mu Qingtong responded indifferently.
Xia Feng: "..."
Indeed, unlike the gap between General Fifth and True Martial, the vast chasm between True Martial and Venerable was truly insurmountable, not simply overcome by transcending levels.
Although Xia Feng had exchanged blows with Olivia without falling short, it was only by harnessing the power of the Finger Extreme Fist to compete in physical strength—had Olivia used her Spiritual Clothes to fight him, he likely couldn't have withstood it.
Thus, even though he and Miss Mu both possessed the confidence to cross that chasm and kill above their level,
But the three Venerables... among them, Olivia and Obrian were both at the Venerable Two Realm, so it was hard to say if they could win.
Moreover, this was enemy territory, with all sorts of bizarre Arrays spread throughout.
However, Xia Feng wasn't too panicked; he scanned the dozen or so people inside the hall.
Aside from Ye Li Kong, talents from various major forces had gathered here, and although they hadn't found an opportunity before, Xia Feng felt that now was the time to harvest a large number of Spiritual Artifacts.
No matter how you looked at it, these people were all the favored children of their respective families and forces; their Spiritual Artifacts should all be extraordinary.
After quickly turning these thoughts in his mind, Xia Feng slowly stepped onto the high level and approached the main door.
"Dong, dong, dong—"
Politely knocking on the door, he smiled, "Hello, I am here to look for our Holy Daughter, can you open the door, please?"
He had reverted to his appearance as a black-haired boy, wearing a fox mask.
Inside the hall.
Obrian frowned and looked up.
"It's that artificial life created by Saintess Qiue," the white cat woman said with an intrigued tone, "He's really cute; I'd love to see what he looks like under that mask."
"Hello? Is anyone there?" The black-haired boy continued knocking, "People inside, I've captured the fugitive·Theresa, doesn't this deserve a first-class merit?"
Beside the boy, a nun with her hood covering her face stood quietly to the side, her delicately sculpted chin inclining slightly as her gaze seemingly casually surveyed the structure of the main hall.
One tall, one short—the nun did not seem like a captured criminal at all, but rather like the boy's mother.
Obrian was actually a bit surprised—had Theresa escaped with the help of Jiang Qiue?
However, this flicker of doubt had barely arisen in his mind when it dispersed, and he could not be bothered to think further.
After all, whether it was Theresa or that artificial life with a divinity-infused Half-Dragon physique, neither was at the Venerable Realm.
That was enough.
They couldn't cause much trouble.
Now, with one minute left until the Thought Cage Core was activated, Obrian was tied up. He glanced at the white cat woman, his hoarse voice flat:
"Stop dawdling, go handle them."
"The old man sure knows how to boss people around," the white cat woman clicked her tongue, her eyes shifting suddenly as she said, "How about you give me some permissions for the Moon Holy Skill domain to play with? I'm quite interested in your Black Moon's Legendary A-level Spiritual Clothes."
Obrian furrowed his brow but nodded anyway.
Information instantly appeared in the white cat woman's mind.
[Legendary A-level·Moon Holy Skill domain]
[Highest authority: Black Moon Pope]
[Holy Skill·Teleportation: Omitted]
[Holy Skill·Energy Allocation: Energy can be allocated within the domain by consuming Spirit Storage Fruit, Spirit-injecting Fruit, and other spiritual materials to store Spiritual Particles and spiritual power; those with permissions within the domain can use these energies for themselves....]
[Holy Skill...]
[Holy Skill·Artifact Pillar Spiritual Array: You can set up a Spirit Array within the domain. Within the range of the Spirit Array, those bound to the pillars and stripped of their ability to resist can have their Spiritual Artifact's power temporarily borrowed by you for 3~10 seconds, gathering into a new Spiritual Artifact. (Note! This Holy Skill consumes a large amount of spiritual quantity, use with caution)]
[Current number of people bound to the pillars: 10 (maximum 18)]
Sensing this information, the white cat woman glanced at the ten talents seated in front of the tall columns of the hall, her excitement palpable.
This ability to borrow others' Spiritual Artifacts was simply too wonderful!
She had long coveted Black Moon's Moon Holy Skill domain, and today, she finally had the chance to experience the power of this Legendary A-level!
