Finally, it was Dumb's turn. He walked over anxiously. Suddenly, an abnormally huge pressure pressed down on Dumb, making it hard for him to breathe. It felt like it was going to crush him. The twenty Tiru warriors around him moved. Just when Dumby thought that his Hell King's Sword had been discovered, the Hell King's Sword on his chest suddenly emitted a violent energy fluctuation. An extremely cold energy instantly enveloped his entire body, and the surrounding pressure immediately disappeared. A stone at the top of the temple's gate suddenly emitted a green smoke, making a creaking sound. Dumb jumped in fright, thinking that the temple had discovered his weapon. He hurriedly reached for his chest. Although he had only tried practicing Nether Flash once, he felt that he seemed to have the confidence to use that move.

The surrounding Tiru warriors didn't move, still holding their axes in their hands. Dumb quickly walked into the Tiru Temple, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Cold sweat had already soaked his underwear. He was scared to think about why he wanted to use the Hell King Sword just now. If the Hell King Sword was unsheathed, the evil energy would be released, and the twenty Tiru warriors around him would probably die. Perhaps it was that inexplicable pressure that made him want to use the Hell King's Sword. Putting down his hand on his chest, Dumb took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and quickly chased after Xuanyue.

Entering the temple, there was a long and narrow path. Every ten meters, there was a torch on both sides of the path. The light from the torch wasn't very bright, so the path was very dim. Everyone was very cautious. As they walked, they looked around. Everyone had a feeling that they were being watched, as if there was a special energy in the temple.

Xuanyue looked back at Dumb, who had caught up, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so slow?"

Dumb shook his head, "It's nothing. Let's go, Yue. Don't you feel that this place is very mysterious?"

Xuanyue nodded. She touched the hot Phoenix blood on her chest and said in a low voice, "There seems to be a special kind of energy in this temple. It's extremely huge."

The Rock Giant seemed to notice the conversation between Dumb and Xuanyue. It turned around and glared at them. Dumb immediately shut his mouth and didn't say anything else.

Yan Ju and Yan Li took people through several turns in the temple. Suddenly, the space in front of them brightened up, and the path became wider. After walking for dozens of meters, the surroundings suddenly became strangely spacious. There were no more torches on either side. Rock Giant and Rock Force stopped in their tracks. Yan Li said respectfully, "Patriarch, we have brought him here."

All of a sudden, the surroundings lit up. Dozens of huge torches were lit up at the same time. It turned out that this was a hall that was several hundred square meters in size. More than a hundred Tilu warriors stood on both sides of the hall. Just like the warriors outside, they all held huge axes in their hands. In front of them was a dozens of meters high platform with two people standing on it. One was a tall Puyan people, around 60 years old. He was wearing a gray robe that covered his tall body. His brown hair draped over his back. His eyes were like divine lights, making Dumb and the others feel very uncomfortable. Next to him was a person covered in a black cloak. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but he looked like a magician, giving people a strange feeling.

The gray cloaked old man waved his hand. Yan Ju and Yan Li retreated to the side. They lowered their heads and looked very respectful.

"Foreigners, hello. Welcome to our Puyan people's Tilu Temple. I am Patriarch Yan Fei of the Puyan people. This is Prophet Prín of our tribe. No one wants to see what happened to my son Yanshi. He is still in a daze. Yan Li wasn't calm and tried to hurt you. I apologize on his behalf. Now, please tell me how you met my son in detail. Don't leave anything out. "Yan Fei's expression was very heavy. He was clearly sad for his son's experience.

Hearing Yan Fei being so polite, Yue Hen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Patriarch of the Puyan people. We are all mercenaries. We are on our way to the Sky Yuan Tribe to complete a mercenary mission. We passed by your territory … "Yue Hen's ability to express himself was very good. He told everything in detail about how he met Yanshi and what happened afterward.

After listening to Yue Hen's narration, Yan Fei fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at the black-robed man beside him and said, "Prophet Prín, what do you think about this?"

A low and old voice echoed through the hall. "Patriarch, with my ability, I can only see some images in the future. I can't determine everything. I've already seen Yanshi and Yun Er's corpses. I can be sure that these foreigners are not Yun Er's killers. Can't you see that they are both virgins? Do you remember when Yanshi was young? I once said that when he was 26 years old, he would face a calamity. This calamity would affect Yanshi greatly. Although this calamity will cause great harm to Yanshi, it won't threaten his life. When this calamity happens, it will be the beginning of his new life. He will meet his benefactor. That benefactor is someone who can bring weapons into the temple. As long as this benefactor is here, Yanshi will definitely be able to escape danger. However, if the perpetrator kills Yanshi before he recovers, Yanshi will forever remain in hell, unable to obtain eternal life. "

Yan Fei was stunned. "Prophet Prín, who is the benefactor you're talking about?"

Prophet Prín lifted the black cloak on his head, revealing a head full of white hair. His old face was covered with wrinkles, but he had a pair of incomparably clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. Even the supercilious Xuanyue couldn't help but lower his head when he saw this pair of eyes. In the hall, only Dumb could look him in the eye without being affected. Prophet Prín swept his gaze across Dumb and the others. "This person has already appeared. He's among this group of foreigners. However, this is the secret of heaven. It can't be easily revealed. Patriarch, please treat these foreigners well. From tomorrow onwards, let them interact with Yanshi. It will definitely help Yanshi walk out of his sorrow. However, before this, you must protect Yanshi. "

Yan Fei's eyes revealed a hint of joy. "Thank you, Prophet Prín, Rock Giant, Yan Li. Tonight, you will lead the warriors of the tribe to protect Yanshi's safety."

Yan Li was a little puzzled. "Honorable Prophet Prín, since there are benefactors of big brother Yanshi in this group, why not let them go with big brother Yanshi now? That way, won't they be able to help big brother Yanshi recover faster? "

Prophet Prín benevolently smiled. "Yan Li, you're still so rash. Everything is arranged by the will of the heavens. I won't say more. Just follow the patriarch's orders. "

Rock Giant pulled Yan Li. "I will follow the patriarch's orders."

Yan Fei thoughtfully looked at Prophet Prín. Then, he said to Dumb and the others. "Good. Yan Li, take these foreigners to rest first. Tomorrow morning, we will follow the prophet's method and invite the guests to interact with Yanshi. "

Yan Li agreed. His gaze towards Dumb's group became much gentler. He said faintly, "Everyone, please."

Right when Dumb's group was about to leave with Yan Li and Rock Giant, Prophet Prín suddenly said, "Wait."

Everyone blankly turned around to look at Prín. Prín said, "This little brother and this lady, please stay for a moment. I have something to say to you. "

Even without Prín pointing it out, Dumb and Xuanyue both felt that Prín was talking about them. Xuanyue asked, "What is it that you can't say now?" In Xuanyue's eyes, this old prophet was the only person who could make her feel apprehensive other than the red-robed priest of the Holy Hall and Pope. Naturally, she was much more polite when speaking to him.

Prophet Pu Lin faintly smiled and said, "There are some words that must be said to you in private. Don't you want to listen to this old man's chatter? "

Prophet Prín's kind smile deeply infected Dumb. A feeling of familiarity flooded his heart. Although it was the first time they met, it was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Yue Hen winked at Dumb and Xuanyue, saying, "Since the prophet has something to say to you, we will go back first."

Yan Fei coughed and said, "Yan Ju, Yan Li, hurry up and bring the guest to rest. You will be responsible for Yanshi's safety at night. Don't make any mistakes. "

Rock Giant and Yan Li looked at each other and bowed. "Yes." Then, they brought Yue Hen and the rest back the way they came, walking out of Tiru Temple. Only Dumb and Xuanyue stayed.

Prophet Prín closed his eyes. "It's evening now. It's time for dinner. Patriarch, you have some things to do. Remember what I said. "

Although Yan Fei was the patriarch of the Puyan people, he seemed to be very respectful to this old shaman. He nodded and said, "Then I will go first, Prophet Prín." Then, he walked out quickly. In the hall of the temple, other than the still motionless Tiru warrior, only Xuanyue, Dumb and the mysterious Prín Prophet were left.

Prophet Prín Prophet walked down from the platform. His body was trembling. He looked extremely weak, as if he was completely relying on the wooden staff in his hand to support his body.

Dumb looked at Prín Prophet's staggering footsteps. He couldn't bear it and quickly went forward to support him. When his hands supported Prín Prophet, Prín Prophet's eyes flashed. Dumb felt as if he was completely seen through. His whole body turned cold.

Prophet Prín Prophet sighed. "I'm old. I'm really old. My body can't take it anymore. Let's go, children. I'll take you to a place. "Then, he turned to the platform he had just come down from. Xuanyue waved her hand and signaled her to come over. In comparison, Xuanyue was much more vigilant than Dumb. From the way Prín Prophet asked them to stay and his attitude towards Yan Fei, it could be seen that this white-haired old man definitely had a supreme position among the Puyan people. But why did he leave her and Dumb, two outsiders? Didn't the Puyan people hate outsiders the most? Although she thought so, Xuanyue still walked over. She didn't know why she went over so easily. But she also understood that this Prophet Prín Prophet didn't have any malicious intentions towards her and Dumb.

Prophet Prín Prophet looked at Xuanyue who walked to his side and said, "Little girl, why are you worried about an old man like me? Let me tell you, Tiru Temple is the most sacred place for us Puyan people. Here, you absolutely can't do any dirty things. Otherwise, you'll definitely be punished by the Gods. Hey —, children, I've been waiting for you for a long time. " As he said that, Prophet Prín Prophet suddenly produced a strong suction force, pulling Dumb and Xuanyue tightly to his side. He raised the wooden staff in his hand and chanted a few incantations in a low voice. A light flashed. Xuanyue and Dumb felt that they had entered a strange world at the same time. It was as if their bodies were no longer under their control. Their surroundings were filled with unimaginable colors. Colorful spots of light constantly floated past their bodies, and the feeling of dizziness constantly filled their bodies. They wanted to scream, but they just couldn't make a sound. They wanted to struggle, but they couldn't control their bodies. Prophet Prín Prophet, who was beside them, closed his eyes and chanted some incantations in a low voice.

All the light spots disappeared. Just when Xuanyue and Dumb were inexplicably shocked, their eyes suddenly lit up again. All the feelings instantly returned to their bodies. The suction force from Prophet Prín Prophet also disappeared. Dumb and Xuanyue found themselves in a tunnel. Under their feet was a huge golden magic hexagram. There were many very complicated symbols on the hexagram. Dumb couldn't understand them. Even Xuanyue, who came from the Holy Holy Hall, couldn't identify them. The walls on both sides of the tunnel were inlaid with fiery red gems slightly smaller than a fist. They constantly emitted a faint light. Even with Dumb and Xuanyue's eyesight, they could barely see things within ten meters. Xuanyue clearly knew that these red gems were called flamecloud gems. Although they weren't very precious, it was still very surprising to see such a large flamecloud gem. Moreover, to make a flamecloud gem glow, one must have the support of magic power. It seemed that this Tiru Holy Temple really contained many secrets.

Prophet Prín Prophet stood there silently as if nothing had happened. Xuanyue panicked and subconsciously used the most common low-level light magic, Illumination. However, she was shocked to find that there seemed to be no magical elements in the surrounding air. No matter how she chanted, there was no magical wave.

"Child, don't try. No one can use magic here except me. This can be said to be my domain. " After saying that, he waved the wooden staff in his hand again. Suddenly, a gust of wind elemental power appeared in the originally empty tunnel. It gently lifted the three of them and slowly floated into the depths of the tunnel. Every 100 meters or so, a red flamecloud gem would appear on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, providing a trace of light. Xuanyue knew that Prophet Prín Prophet's magic had reached a very high level. The magic he used before might have been the legendary teleportation magic circle. That was a magic that even her father didn't know! And now, although the wind magic he used was not profound, she was very surprised that he could use another type of magic in this place where there were no magic elements, and it seemed that he did not have to exert any effort at all. Although Dumb was surprised by everything that had happened, he didn't say anything. He had an inexplicable trust in Prín, so he didn't have any fear.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind elements disappeared and the three of them landed on the ground. In front of them were two tall stone doors. On both sides of the stone doors stood a Tilu warrior. Unlike the Tilu warriors outside, these two warriors were not only taller, but their armor also emitted a faint golden light. When the three of them landed, they crossed their long axes in front of them, blocking their way. A powerful and awe-inspiring aura came from the two Tilu warriors, instantly covering the three of them. The huge pressure made Dumb and Xuanyue almost suffocate. They couldn't even think of resisting. The two Tilu warriors were too strong. The surging pressure made Xuanyue and Dumb unable to move.

Priest Prín didn't seem to know what was happening to Dumb and Xuanyue. He just stood there without moving. The pressure of the Tilu warriors didn't seem to have any effect on him either.

The huge pressure made Dumb and Xuanyue's bodies unable to take it anymore. Dumb looked at Xuanyue in pain, and his heart shook. He let out a low roar and pushed the true qi in his body to the limit. A faint layer of white light came out of his body, blocking in front of himself and Xuanyue.

She turned her head to look at Dumby and saw that he was already half-kneeling on the ground. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down Dumby's forehead. The white light in front of her and Dumby kept trembling. She understood that Dumby had shifted all the pressure onto himself. Dumby's body was trembling. She knew that Dumby had shifted all the pressure onto himself. Xuanyue's heart shook. She clearly understood that this was all for her! Gratitude filled her heart. Without hesitation, she took out the phoenix blood from her collar.

As if it also felt the danger, the phoenix blood emitted a strange red light and merged with Dumb's white combat qi, resisting the huge pressure.

Dumb had already reached his limit. A trace of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth. The phoenix blood helped him take some of the pressure, so Dumb suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. In the face of danger, Dumby subconsciously touched the Hell King Sword on his chest with his right hand. A cold and evil aura abruptly emitted, and a faint gray light appeared on Dumby's chest. The red light of the Phoenix Blood dimmed, and under the effect of the white, gray, and red light, the pressure on Dumby and Xuan Yue's bodies was completely blocked three feet in front of them.

The two Tilu warriors seemed to feel the change in their bodies. They raised the long axes in their hands and looked like they were ready to attack.

Xuanyue and Dumb were shocked at the same time. The pressure just now was enough to make them tired. If these two incomparably powerful warriors in front of them attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable. Xuanyue slightly opened her mouth, preparing to chant the strongest incantation of the phoenix blood. Dumb also got ready to use the Hell King Sword. Dumb clearly felt that although the Hell King Sword's evil power was strong, it alone wouldn't be able to hurt Xuanyue who was protected by the phoenix blood. As for the unfathomable Prophet Prín, he didn't have to worry about it. He only had to deal with these two abnormally powerful warriors.

Just as the two sides were about to attack, Prophet Prín finally opened his eyes and said calmly, "Alright, stop." Two blue lights emitted from his body, penetrating Xuanyue and Dumb's defense and directly shooting between the eyebrows of the two Tilu warriors. The two Tilu warriors retracted their axes at the same time, as if nothing had happened. They stood back in place and the pressure disappeared at the same time.

Dumby and Mystic Moon both felt their bodies lean forward. Dumby suffered the most, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His entire body was weak as he half-knelt there, panting heavily. Xuanyue wasn't much better. Her face was pale and her temples were soaked in sweat. She held the phoenix blood tightly in her right hand and glared at Prophet Prín.

Two soft white lights emitted from Prophet Prín's hands and covered Xuanyue and Dumb like lightning. Under the effect of the light, the two felt warm and indescribably comfortable. The previous fatigue and injuries seemed to have disappeared. Dumb stood up and looked at Xuanyue, who was in a daze, before asking Prophet Prín, "Prophet, what's going on?"

Pu Lin's face revealed a gentle smile. He sighed and said, "That's right, the combination of good and evil, the unification of light and darkness, with the phoenix blood as the guide, has passed through layers upon layers of barriers. We finally meet. You are the people I've been waiting for 30 years! "

Dumby wasn't the only one who didn't understand. Even the extremely intelligent Xuan Yue was stunned. She said with slight annoyance, "Prophet Prín, shouldn't you explain to us?"

Prophet Prín looked at Xuanyue and said, "Behind these two stone doors are the secrets of us Puyan people for thousands of years. The reason you can come here is completely because of the guidance of God. Children, after you followed me into these two stone doors, your destiny has already changed. Everything will develop according to the direction that God has guided you to. Let's go, inside, I will tell you everything you want to know. 30 years! I've finally waited for you. " After that, he waved the wooden staff in his hand. With a creaking sound, the two tall stone doors slowly opened. Behind the stone doors was darkness. Prophet Prín paused for a moment and said, "Follow me." After that, he walked in with a heavy heart.

Xuanyue moved closer to Dumb and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay? "

Dumb looked at the Tiru warriors on both sides of the stone door with lingering fear, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

Xuanyue nodded. Since they had already come here, there was no way back. They could only move forward and take it one step at a time. The two followed behind Prophet Prín and entered the dark stone door. The moment they stepped through the stone door, the stone door behind them suddenly closed, and a loud sound reverberated in the spacious cave.

Xuanyue's body shook. She grabbed Dumb's warm big hand and said with a trembling voice, "Dumb, you, you have to protect me!" In this mysterious and strange temple, even someone as bold as Xuanyue couldn't help but feel afraid.

For the first time, Dumb felt that Xuanyue was so helpless and weak. It couldn't help but arouse his desire to protect her. He held Xuanyue's hand tightly, and his body emitted a faint white light, protecting himself and Xuanyue. Xuanyue's body warmed up and became much more comfortable. Her whole body leaned on Dumb, as if only there was a harbor for her to take shelter from the wind.

This was a closed space without light. Surprisingly, there was no feeling of suffocation here.

"In my name, I borrow your power. Go, God's power." The old voice of Prophet Prín sounded, and the surroundings suddenly lit up. Xuanyue and Dumb found that this was not a very big cave, and the light came from the gems on the surrounding walls. The faint yellow light brought light to the cave. Prophet Prín stood in the middle of the cave, staring at the stone wall in front of him. The surrounding stone walls, including the top of the cave, were covered with murals. The huge and lifelike murals looked very mysterious under the light of the gems.

Prophet Prín walked slowly to Dumb and Xuanyue, sighed, and said, "Children, this is the place that records the experience of our Puyan people for thousands of years."

Xuanyue frowned and said, "What does the experience of your Puyan people for thousands of years have to do with us? Why do you have to bring us here?"

Prophet Prín did not directly answer Xuanyue's question. He smiled and said, "Little girl, how old do you think I am this year?"

Xuanyue was stunned. She looked at his wrinkled face in confusion and said, "You are so old. No matter what, you should be at least eighty or ninety years old."

A sad look flashed in Prín's eyes. He shook his head and said, "Patriarch Yanfei and I grew up together. He is sixty-two years old this year, and I am one year younger than him."

Xuanyue and Dumb looked at Prín in surprise at the same time. Prín laughed at himself and said, "Do you know why I look so old at the age of sixty-one?"

Dumb shook his head blankly. Xuanyue said thoughtfully, "Is it because of your prophet title?"

Prín nodded and said, "You are right. A prophet like me is the same as the priests of your Holy Hall in some aspects. We are the most loyal followers of God. In terms of strength, I am much weaker than the priests of the Holy Hall. But, I have one more ability than them. " Speaking of this, Prín's eyes flashed. "What I have more than them is the ability to foresee the future. Children, the prophet of our Puyan people has absolute power in the tribe. Even the patriarch has to listen to the prophet. There are more than thirty tribes of the Puyan people. This is the largest one. The Tiru Temple is the place where the prophet worships the God and foresees the future. There can only be one prophet of the Puyan people. They are all appointed by the previous generation of prophets. I can say that I have the highest talent among all the prophets. During the Blood Sun a few years ago, little girl of the Holy Hall, you should know about it. "

Xuanyue's heart skipped a beat. She cried out involuntarily, "Are you talking about the Millennium Tribulation? You, how do you know that I'm from the Holy Hall? "

Prín smiled and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the holy aura you emit is not something a normal light magician can have. If I am not wrong, your elder must be a priest in red of the Holy Hall. Moreover, to be able to let you wear the Blood of the Phoenix, the most precious treasure of the Holy Hall, you must have an extraordinary relationship with Lord Pope. Am I right? "

Xuanyue nodded blankly. "Then you called us here. Is it related to the Millennium Tribulation?"

Dumb looked at Xuanyue and Prín in surprise and said, "What's the Millennium Tribulation? What does it have to do with the Blood Rain five years ago? "

Xuanyue snorted and said, "When the Blood Sun is in the sky, evildoers will be born. When the Blood Rain falls on the world, the Millennium Tribulation will come. Don't you know about this legend? "

Dumb said blankly, "I don't know. What does this Millennium Tribulation have to do with us?"

Prín sighed and said, "If it had nothing to do with you, I wouldn't have called you here. It is God who has guided you to me, the great Savior of the Tribulation. "

Before Dumb could react, Xuanyue was already trembling in shock. "You, what did you say? You said that we are the Saviors of the Millennium Tribulation? " She was very clear about the Savior. On the day the Blood Sun was in the sky five years ago, Pope issued an order for all the clergy to search for the Savior that was about to appear. And the guidance passed down by Pope was only one sentence, and that was, "Kindness, Evil, Dragon, Phoenix, Love." These few unclear words caused all the clergy to rack their brains. It had been five years, but there was no guidance at all. Pope had once said that if they couldn't find the Savior, the world would be in chaos and the whole continent would be shrouded in a storm of blood.

Prín turned his back to Dumb and Xuanyue and said, "Although His Excellency Pope's divine power is mysterious, he is still a priest after all. The reason why I can clearly know that you are the Saviors is not only because of my identity as a prophet. More importantly, 30 years ago, before the Blood Sun had descended, I used 30 years of my life as the price to beg for the fate of us Puyan people. I received a more detailed instruction from God, and this instruction is related to the Savior. That is why I look so old when you see me. I am 61 years old this year, and with the addition of 30 years of life, I naturally look 91 years old. Child, tell us what you know about the Savior. "

Xuanyue was completely shocked, and Dumb beside her still didn't understand what Prín and Xuanyue were talking about.

Xuanyue said, "When His Excellency Pope fought against the Blood Sun, he got a little clue about the Savior, only a few vague words, 'Kindness, Evil, Dragon, Phoenix, Love.'" Although this was a secret of the Holy Hall, Xuanyue still said it out loud. The old prophet in front of her made her feel a sense of reverence.
