New Master
Around the Church.
The numerous Knights draped in iron armor inscribed with Curse Runes all seemed to be suppressed by a large mountain, their faces instantly turning pale...
They drew the longswords at their waists, the sword tips pointing at the road directly in front of the Church, but their hands were trembling uncontrollably, as if facing a formidable enemy!
After the Realm War broke out, Brand had poured in all the Combat Power of the Witchcraft Association... Therefore, there were almost no sorcerers left stationed in the Church, leaving only these iron-armored Knights guarding it.
The strength of these iron armors wasn't weak, but at this moment, under the five terrifying Rank 8 Oppressive Auras, they appeared incredibly insignificant.
One must know that back in the day, the Aurora Domain only had a total of two Rank 8s, and the Red Dust Domain only had three. And at this moment, five Rank 8s came together. This was a terrifying Combat Power sufficient to sweep across any domain in the world!
What they represented was the fury of all humanity!
The black Enforcer trench coat brushed across the earth.
Under the nervous and fearful mood of the iron armors, these five acting judgment representatives walked towards them head-on, as if there was no one there.
"Charge!!"
The leading iron armor roared furiously, and the surfaces of the iron armor of everyone behind him lit up with bizarre Curse Runes.
Immediately after, they were like a maddened herd of cattle, crashing towards the five people fearlessly. Their iron armors trampled the earth, roaring like an earthquake!
Beside Hong Xiu, a figure wearing a bamboo-colored long gown casually raised his hand and waved it in the void.
"— Fix."
A massive [Fix] character seemed to be engraved in the void.
The moment this character appeared, other than the five acting judgment representatives, all other matter was instantly frozen!
The flying dust halted in an instant. Those aggressive iron armors turned into sculptures in an instant. Countless gleaming sword tips were held high in the air, like a forest of slaughter with a sense of chaotic beauty.
The five figures walked shoulder to shoulder through this forest of iron armors, not even a corner of their clothes being touched, like Divine Beings who did not eat mortal food, passing through the human world.
"Break the door." Hong Xiu spoke indifferently.
On her other side, a bloated figure slowly pulled out a Bone-Stripping Knife with a ghastly cold glint from his waist, and slashed at the air in front of him!
Boom—!!!
The thick, heavy main doors of the Church, along with the entire wall connected to it, were instantly split open. A ghastly blade light seemed to tear through space, and even the gorgeous corridor behind the door was split into two hideous halves.
The five acting judgment representatives stepped inside.
The current Wuji Domain, to them, was a fragile empty shell. Besides that existence at the very core, everything else could be ignored... But the deeper they went, the more solemn the expressions of the five people became. After all, the one they were going to kill was one of the Nine Monarchs.
Even though they knew the Lord of Wuji was already unable to resist, no one dared to underestimate him. Everyone had their nerves stretched to the tightest.
Ultimately, they arrived at the center of the Church.
The gold-paved floor, the gem-inlaid dome. Looking around, not a trace of the Church's sacredness and elegance could be seen. Everywhere was filled with extremely secular materialism... Even the experienced and knowledgeable five acting judgment representatives were incredibly surprised when they saw this scene of extreme luxury.
But very quickly, everyone's gaze was attracted by that Mercury Moon in mid-air.
Compared to before, this Mercury Moon had shrunk by nearly half. Its surface occasionally rippled, but there wasn't the slightest dangerous aura...
Just as they expected, without the Philosopher's Stone, the Lord of Wuji couldn't move normally. Right now, he was at his weakest.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hanging hearts were finally put down.
"Confirmed discovery of the Lord of Wuji, Lou Yu."
Hong Xiu spoke in a deep voice, "Confirmed lack of consciousness, confirmed lack of resistance, confirmed lack of threat attribute... Prepare to execute judgment."
The other four acting judgment representatives slightly narrowed their eyes, and the auras of four Divine Pathways erupted simultaneously!!
Just at this moment,
A light chuckle came from the side of the glazed arched window.
Hong Xiu's pupils abruptly contracted, and the hearts of the other four acting judgment representatives also trembled!
One must know, all five of them were Rank 8, yet not a single person sensed that someone was nearby... This meant that the Rank of the newcomer was even far above theirs!
The dim light spilled onto the golden floor through the glazed window, like a dream or an illusion.
Amidst this brilliant interplay of light and shadow, a figure wearing a British-style white shirt and an elegant vest was sitting in the very first row of seats in the Church, casually brushing his slightly curly long black hair behind his ear.
The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile:
"Ladies, gentlemen, you've really come at a bad time..."
"Here, there is already a New Master."
...
Gray World.
"No wait... isn't this train track too long? We've been walking for almost a whole day, and we still haven't reached the Tianshu Domain??" Jian Changsheng scratched his head and spoke with a face full of irritability.
"Don't forget, it also took us several days to come out from the Aurora Domain." Chen Ling spoke helplessly.
"That was while riding a tractor..."
"Don't mention that tractor, that thing didn't even run as fast as me."
"..."
Chen Ling glanced at the [Audience Expectation Value -1] prompt floating in front of him, his heart not too anxious.
After returning to the Stage, his Expectation Value had risen to 25%, and the rate of decrease was not fast. It should be that the Audience was happy about his return, so they had a bit more patience.
Even if the Expectation Value really dropped down, Chen Ling could also enter the USB Drive to continue obtaining Expectation Value... After all, a month's time had passed since the last time he entered.
"I can't take it anymore, sitting down to rest for a bit."
Jian Changsheng waved his hand and directly sat his butt on the train track. The next moment, as if being scalded, his entire person abruptly sprang up!
"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing?!"
"For this train track to be able to be laid in the Gray World and not be attacked by Calamities for so many years, it definitely has something special about it... It's better if you don't touch it."
Chen Ling calmly sat on a rock at the side.
Amidst Jian Changsheng's cursing and swearing, Chen Ling propped up his head with one hand and began to doze off...
Not long after, his consciousness sank into the Theater.
Clatter, clatter, clatter—
The spotlight lit up above Chen Ling's head again.
Chen Ling opened his eyes, no longer looking at the Audience Off Stage, but walked straight towards the center of the Stage.
Chen Ling had only left from here not long ago, but the situation last time was special, and he simply had no time to do other things. Now that everything had settled down, it was also time for him to confirm his gains.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe arrived in front of the central screen. At the corner of the screen, a small Treasure Chest logo was shining brightly...
Chen Ling raised his hand, his fingertip lightly tapping on it.
