Light Fortress

"The Holy Book has been stolen... This matter is of great importance, and I must report it to the temple."

Su Ye looked at the empty courtyard, his expression grave.

"Su Ye," Jia Wei said, "Let me handle this matter, I will take full responsibility."

Su Ye was taken aback.

"I suspect the culprit is Gu Shen."

Jia Wei calmly said, "Even if it isn’t him... it must be related to him."

Su Ye frowned, "Sir, this matter is not child’s play, mere suspicion is not enough."

"Yes..."

Jia Wei laughed at himself, "I know. But there are some things they don’t have evidence for either, aren’t there?"

Su Ye was stunned for a second.

"What are you going to do?"

He looked towards the Great Knight.

"Nothing." Jia Wei said lightly, "Don’t worry... I just want to use Light City’s way to solve this trouble."

"Mr. Jia Wei, I need to remind you."

Su Ye took a deep breath and said seriously, "You are the Great Knight of the Holy Judge Army, representing the will of Lord Divine’s blessing."

"Blessing Lord, no need to say more, everything I do is for light."

Jia Wei smiled, "I know very well... what I’m doing. Leave the investigation of the Holy Book case to me."

...

...

The outskirts of Tanyao Volcano.

This is the darkest and most shadowy area at the Skytop of Sangzhou Cave.

Countless dense volcanic ashes spew out from here, engulfing and spreading, the color of the Skytop has changed from a light gray to a heavy, oppressive black.

A ribbon of scarlet fire shadow hovered above the cloud layer dense with volcanic ash.

Zhu Que dispelled the Li Fire domain, slowly descending while doubtfully looking back.

"Where are the people behind me?"

He did not expect that after he accelerated, Jia Wei seemed to have given up the pursuit—

Because the previous two shots were too painful, Zhu Que didn’t dare stop, fearing deceit, he rushed to the "destination" with all his might until now he stopped, somewhat in shock looking back.

"Really not pursuing anymore..."

Zhu Que frowned.

His spiritual power swept out for several miles, without feeling a hint of threat, he finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

But he couldn’t figure it out.

Why would Jia Wei give up on him, what could be more important than the life of a Divine Envoy like him?

Could it be that Jia Wei also realized that continuing the pursuit, he couldn’t kill him?

"Red Dragon, I’ve reached ’Tanyao’."

He took out the Cloud Mirror, and used spirit to send a message.

However, this time the Cloud Mirror did not immediately respond.

"The mission went smoother than expected, Jia Wei did not chase me to the end..."

Zhu Que slowly reported.

While speaking to the Cloud Mirror, he observed his surroundings, although Jia Wei did not continue the pursuit, the body of Tanyao Volcano still brought him some "unease."

This towering and boundless active volcano is in a phase of revival...

The constant eruption of volcanic ash foreshadows Tanyao’s imminent awakening.

A large amount of Extraordinary Essence roams the air!

It is said that the Ice Sea’s essence was all attracted by Tanyao... If Tanyao really revitalizes, as soon as it erupts, it would be a disaster that obliterates the entire island in an instant!

At that time, not one of the island’s natives would escape.

Forget about them.

Even Zhu Que would be terrified... He is at the fourth rank, but there are things even the fourth rank cannot accomplish.

How could a mortal body withstand a natural disaster?

The Cloud Mirror was filled with swirling mist, entirely obscured.

Zhu Que sensed something amiss, and asked again, "Red Dragon, have you arrived?"

"..."

After a brief silence.

The Red Dragon’s face emerged in the mirror, he spoke softly: "I have arrived."

"Why so slow?"

Zhu Que frowned, "If Jia Wei really chased me, I could have been seriously injured!"

"But... you are still alive and well now."

Red Dragon spoke calmly.

"???"

Zhu Que said irritably, "Where are you?"

"I’m on the eastern side of Tanyao, you need to pass through the core area... There’s too much ’ash,’ the Cloud Mirror’s connection can’t be very smooth." Red Dragon said lightly: "So, don’t ask too many questions. I’ll wait for you on the ’eastern side.’ The great hunt is almost over, hurry up."

After saying that, the Cloud Mirror connection was cut off.

"Tanyao eastern side..."

Pulling his priest’s robe tight around him, Zhu Que squinted towards the direction of Red Dragon.

Currently on the southern side of the volcano, to reach the target location, he needs to get close to the crater area, which is stacked with a huge amount of ’ash,’ the Heavenly Eye has already lost the surveillance of that area, it can be said... that area is truly a no man’s land within the Sangzhou Cave.

Sizzle!

Zhu Que shook his sleeves, a wisp of Li Fire ignited on his robe, then suddenly flames erupted, enveloping him, under the cover of "elemental transformation," Zhu Que’s whole body became a mass of fire.

He rose and swept towards the eastern side, after elemental transformation, the unease in his heart eased a lot.

...

...

"Lost track of ’Zhu Que’."

Gu Shen left the West Cave cities, releasing the Blazing Fire Sense silently in the long forest.

He has "Netherworld Fire."

The four Divine Envoys have "Cloud Mirror."

This is the same level of authority, Cloud Mirror cannot sense Netherworld Fire, likewise... Netherworld Fire cannot sense Cloud Mirror.

From a distant highland in W4, Gu Shen saw Jia Wei and Su Ye’s appearance. This indicates Light City’s Great Knight abandoned the chase of Zhu Que, also implying... they discovered the Neutral party was robbed, and the Holy Book was stolen.

Next, Light City is certain to be in thunderous wrath.
