Chapter 644: Heading to the Light Holy City

"Master Mohan, is this the Mr. Lingyun you spoke of?"

When Shalier saw Lingyun, he could not help but open his mouth wide. Because he was meeting the gentleman Mohan had spoken of, Shalier did not use Holy Light to conceal his true appearance, as a sign of respect.

"That is correct, this is the Mr. Lingyun I told you about." There was a hint of respect in Mohan's gaze as he looked at Lingyun. "Mr. Lingyun, this is the person who invited us to repair their Sacred Gear at the time, the youngest Bishop of the Light Church, Bishop Shalier."

"Hello, Bishop Shalier." Lingyun nodded slightly toward Shalier.

Standing behind Lingyun, Chen Jing and her companion heard Mohan say this, and their gazes toward Shalier could not help but show some surprise.

They had also once heard Lingyun say that within the Light Church, those who could become Bishops must have reached the Heavenly Domain in strength. Yet, Shalier standing before them was clearly no older than forty. He was not like the two of them, having Lingyun as a cheat to accelerate their progress; he had reached this point purely through his own efforts, which could not help but surprise them.

There were few people in his life that Mohan admired, and Lingyun, who had forced out the Demon Qi hidden within the Knight Sword using incredible means before him, could be counted as one of them. With his keen eye, he could naturally see that the Double Domain Lingyun released could actually be used for forging, and its practical effect would likely be much better than an ordinary Forging Furnace.

"But, this, how is this possible?" The look in Shalier's eyes as he stared at Lingyun seemed somewhat chaotic.

"Hmm, Bishop Shalier, is something wrong?" Mohan looked at Shalier and frowned, clearly puzzled by his current state.

When Shalier first saw Lingyun, he could not help but recall some things that happened when he was ordained as a Bishop. Every time a new Bishop took office, they were allowed to enter the Holy Church once to receive the blessing of the God of Light.

He clearly remembered that behind the statue of the God of Light, there were six enormous portraits. It was said that those six portraits were left behind by the God of Light and were the portraits of the most important heroes of the Millennium Holy War. Although the people in the six portraits were identical, they were, after all, left behind by the God of Light, and no one bothered to dwell on why the people in the portraits were identical.

Later, when he used his authority as a Bishop to peruse the Secret Canon of the Holy See, he learned that during the Millennium Holy War, there existed such a peculiar mercenary group, and the Lord of the Demon World had fallen precisely at their hands.

However, the Lingyun appearing before him now was simply too similar to the portraits he had seen before, which could not help but surprise him.

"N-nothing." Shalier shook his head vigorously. "May I ask, does Mr. Lingyun have any connection to the legendary Lingyun Mercenary Group?"

"A connection?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly. "That's right, I do indeed have a certain connection to the Lingyun Mercenary Group."

"So that's how it is?" Shalier nodded slightly; in his mind, Lingyun must be the person from the mural.

Since he was a descendant of the legendary Lingyun Mercenary Group, it was understandable that he had a method to deal with the Demon Qi hidden in the Sacred Gear. After all, those few were the ones who had completely slaughtered the arrogant Lord of the Demon World.

"Since Mr. Lingyun can force out the Demon Qi from the Holy Knight Sword, then you should also be able to force it out of other Sacred Gears, right?" Shalier asked Lingyun somewhat nervously.

"As for that, I can indeed force out the Demon Qi lurking within Sacred Gears. But if a Sacred Gear has been completely eroded by Demon Qi, then I am powerless to help," Lingyun said.

"That is wonderful. I wonder if you, Mr. Lingyun, could move with Master Mohan and the other masters to the Light Holy City? Currently, those Sacred Gears that have appeared with the same situation have all been gathered in the Light Holy City. I hope you all can offer your assistance," Shalier asked somewhat nervously.

"It is no problem for me to go to the Light Holy City, but I must bring two companions. Moreover, those Sacred Gears in your hands that show a situation similar to the Holy Knight Sword may not necessarily be caused by Demon Qi erosion," Lingyun said, glancing at the two women, Chen Jing, standing behind him.

"We were mentally prepared for such things," Shalier nodded and said. "As for the two companions you mentioned, that is even less of a problem. The Light Holy City has never refused anyone's arrival. I wonder when you can set off, sir?"

"Set off? We can set off at any time," Lingyun said.

Hearing Lingyun say this, a flash of joy appeared on Shalier's face. He spread his hands, and a Scroll appeared in his hand. The Scroll slowly unfolded, and amidst a shimmering silver glow, a silver Array appeared before everyone.

Lingyun felt a familiar aura from this Scroll and could not help but chuckle: "Bishop Shalier, this Scroll of yours was produced in the Morning Light Forest, wasn't it?"

Shalier, holding the Space Teleportation Scroll, paused in his movements, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Lingyun's eye is truly extraordinary. That's right, this Space Teleportation Scroll was indeed produced in the Morning Light Forest. Only the Morning Light Forest can produce such top-tier, long-distance, multi-person teleportation scrolls. To acquire this scroll at the time, our Light Church paid a heavy price!"

During their conversation, the Space Transmission Array had already formed. Shalier made a gesture of invitation to Lingyun and the others, then stepped into the Space Transmission Array.

Silver light surged upward, and within just a few minutes, everyone in the courtyard had disappeared into the transmission array.

City Lord Mansion, study.

Yorkfu, who was reading a book, stood up abruptly. He pushed open the window and looked into the distance with a grave expression.

"Such powerful spatial fluctuations. This is... someone used a large-scale Space Teleportation Scroll. What is going on?"

He flipped through the book in his hand, brows furrowing: "That direction is... the Dwarf Blacksmith Shop, where Master Mohan used to live? But only a few forces possess such large-scale Space Teleportation Scrolls. What kind of situation could cause someone to activate large-scale Space Teleportation Magic in that place? Could it be because of that person named Lingyun? No, I must have someone investigate!"

Yorkfu turned around, tore a page from the book, folded it a few times, and tossed it away. The paper floated in mid-air, began to burn rapidly, and turned into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing into the air.

Before long, a figure in black emerged quietly from the darkness and knelt before Yorkfu.

"Go and investigate for me what exactly happened over at the Dwarf Blacksmith Shop. I want the latest and most comprehensive intelligence!"

The figure in black nodded silently and vanished back into the darkness.
