Chapter 322

"The Princess Royal is only Seventh Rank, and that one is said to be a Second-Level Holy Spirit—even with its power diminished, there's no reason it couldn't defeat the Princess Royal. But I can't handle this matter anymore; it must be reported upward."

The Hongyizhu Sect muttered to himself.

He immediately sent messengers to report the situation to the Wang Gong.

Not long after, a woman wearing a veil and radiating boundless coldness walked over.

Seeing this woman, the Hongyizhu Sect quickly bowed his head—she was the Holy Maiden of the Xiling Kingdom's deity, but now she had been possessed by the Holy Spirit.

After arriving, the woman walked straight into the dungeon, forcing the Hongyizhu Sect to follow her inside.

As Hongyizhu Sect, he had never wished to enter such a place as a dungeon—it was undignified for his rank!

The woman, or rather the Holy Spirit, entered the dungeon, first inspected the condition of the several Temple Knights, then walked straight to the innermost cell.

The Holy Spirit frowned.

Because it could detect no clues whatsoever.

Then it pulled out a white stone and crushed it violently.

An immensely powerful holy light erupted forth.

This holy light could pierce through everything—walls, bodies, armor—all resisted nothing; though it blazed deep underground in the dungeon, it flooded the entire Eastern Church with Bai Guang.

Many around the Eastern Church witnessed this sight and regarded it as a divine miracle.

Inside the dungeon, the holy light was even more intense, forcing the Hongyizhu Sect to close his eyes.

The Holy Spirit did not close its eyes.

Under such intense holy light, it finally found a trace—just one single trace!

It was the faint remnant left when the first Holy Spirit was consumed by Abyssal Flame.

In the entire dungeon, only this one trace remained.

The second Abyssal Flame originated from Lin Yan's power—it would leave absolutely no trace whatsoever!

Though only one trace, to a being like the Holy Spirit, this trace was enough!

"Abyssal Flame!"

The Holy Spirit emitted a piercing cry, as if it had not yet grown accustomed to the language of the Continent of Gods!

The holy light vanished!

The Holy Spirit turned to the Hongyizhu Sect and said: "Seal this news. If it leaks, you die!"

"Has the Princess Royal turned to the Abyssal Demon God?"

In the Wang Gong's council chamber, the King of the Xiling Kingdom received this news.

His face still bore a cold expression.

But no ordinary person could notice his change.

Of course, even if someone had noticed by now, he wouldn't care—he had already seized control of the situation!

"The Royal Princess Luoying is also missing."

A high-ranking church official said.

"The Abyssal Rift has been sealed; the power she gained from the Abyssal Demon God is exhausted. A Seventh Rank her is no threat, but we've lost a powerful warrior. My God, should we send forces to pursue?"

A Holy Spirit asked.

"No. Execute the Cleansing Plan."

The "King" of the Xiling Kingdom said coolly.

As if the Seventh Rank Princess Royal and Princess Luoying were not even worth his consideration!

Beside him, an old man in a black robe stood silently and said:

"Spread the news of the defeat of the Hodun Kingdom. Conscript troops from the nobility—the scale must be massive, so Hodun Kingdom's spies will know. And we…"

The old man scanned the room and said: "Strike tonight! Give the Hodun Kingdom a great surprise—so even if their god wishes to descend a Holy Spirit, it will find no suitable vessel! Without a Holy Spirit, their god's mere power cannot defeat us!"

He raised his hand: "For my God!"

In the council chamber, everyone raised their hands, their expressions wildly fervent: "For my God!"
