Zhuo Yun's entire body shook. Yanshi's words deeply touched her heart. That's right, if she was the one who was humiliated, how could she face her lover and her clansmen? She would also die without hesitation. Yanshi once again embraced Zhuo Yun and said softly, "Cry, it will be better once you cry. He is already dead, and his soul is not willing to see you in such pain. Let him die in peace. "

Dumb clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his chest continued to burn. Qiuling committed suicide because of Silver Woman's humiliation. Why did these evil people want to harm such a kind elf? He suddenly stood up. Yanshi jumped in fright and grabbed his clothes, saying, "Dumb, what are you doing?"

An ice-cold voice seeped out from the gaps of Dumb's teeth, "I want to take revenge for big brother elf."

The killing intent in Dumb's chest that had just calmed down was ignited again because of Qiuling's death. He struggled free from Yanshi and turned around to return to Mica City.

"Stop right there." Zhuo Yun's delicate voice sounded.

Dumb was startled and looked at Zhuo Yun in shock. Zhuo Yun struggled free from Yanshi's embrace. The tear stains on her face looked so sad and beautiful. Her voice was somewhat trembling, but it was firm and undeniable, "You can't go. I have already lost my lover, do you want me to lose my little brother? "

Dumb looked at Qiuling who had a smile on her face and said hatefully, "Sister, let me go. Don't tell me big brother elf died in vain? I want to use that evil woman's ugly soul as a sacrifice to big brother elf's soul in heaven. Don't worry, I will definitely succeed. "

Zhuo Yun shook her head forcefully and said painfully, "No, you can't go. If you have absolute confidence, then you have already killed the person who harmed Qiuling. When you saved Qiuling, you already killed the person who harmed him. Although your Hell King Sword is strong, have you forgotten everything that happened in Dark City? How could you deal with the plots and schemes of those evil people? They must be waiting for you to cast your net. Dumb, listen to your sister and don't go. Big Sister has already suffered enough. I don't want to be sad for you again. Do you know how worried we were when you went back to the Dark City to take revenge for Ice? You succeeded that time, but can you guarantee that you will succeed again this time? The tens of thousands of soldiers in Mica City are not people you can fight against. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. So what if you succeed? Qi Ling is dead. No matter how many people you kill, he will not come back to life. "

Dumb said anxiously, "But, sister …"

Yanshi interrupted Dumb's words and calmly said, "Dumb, calm down first. We must avenge the elven brothers. But first, tell us everything that happened in the castle. Let us think of a solution together."

Dumb sighed dejectedly. He told her everything that had happened after he entered Silver Lady's room. After listening to Dumb's narration. Yanshi sucked in a breath of cold air. "This witch actually harmed so many people. But, even your transformations couldn't hurt her. It can be seen how powerful she is. With what happened earlier, I'm afraid it will really be like what Zhuo Yun said. She is waiting for you. Lady Zhuo Yun is right. You can't go. Moreover, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. "

Dumb punched the ground. With a loud bang, a one meter deep pit appeared on the ground. Soil flew everywhere. He said hatefully, "Then, did the elven brothers die in vain?"

Zhuo Yun wiped away the tears on her face. Her pretty face was strangely pale. "I'm not thinking about revenge now. I'm thinking about the other captured elven clansmen. Qi Ling suffered such torture. I'm afraid they too … If that's the case, with the unyielding nature of our clansmen, I'm afraid Qi Ling won't be the last to commit suicide. "

Everyone's heart trembled. Zhuo Yun was right. If the other elves suffered similar humiliation, then their hearts wouldn't be able to bear it. Yanshi said resolutely, "Dumb, let's not take revenge for now. It's more important to save the elves first. The earlier we save them, the higher their chances of survival. It won't be too late to talk about revenge after we save all the elves. "

Dumb stood on the spot in a daze. He looked at Qi Ling's corpse. The resentment in his heart continued to rise. Zhuo Yun carefully placed Qi Ling's upper body on the ground and stood up. She walked to Dumb and held his hand. She sobbed, "Little brother, let's listen to your big brother Yanshi. I hope the other elves can be as lucky as me."

Dumb didn't regret wasting half a year cultivating in Tian Gang Mountain. If it wasn't for that half a year, they wouldn't have been able to save any of the elves. However, Qi Ling's death still made him depressed. Looking at Zhuo Yun's pleading eyes, he nodded solemnly, "Alright, then let's be on our way as soon as possible."

Zhuo Yun turned to look at Qi Ling, who was lying peacefully on the ground. Her tears flowed again. She sobbed, "Dumb, big sister has a favor to ask of you."

Dumb was startled, "Big sister, tell me. I'll do anything you want."

Zhuo Yun took a deep breath and said, "Cremate Qi Ling's body with the method you used to melt the ice. Gather her ashes into a ball. I want to carve a portrait of her and keep her by my side forever." Her sorrowful voice was filled with reluctance to part with Qi Ling. Yanshi couldn't help but sigh.

Dumb nodded and chanted an incantation. He melted Qi Ling's body with a fireball spell. He gathered her ashes into a ball and gave it to Zhuo Yun.

Zhuo Yun gently caressed Qi Ling's ashes and murmured, "Ling, we can still be together forever! You are still a pure and kind spirit in my heart. " This time, even Yanshi didn't know how to comfort Zhuo Yun. He could only say, "Let's be on our way. There are still so many elves waiting for us to save."

The four of them set off with a heavy and sorrowful heart towards their next target city.

Four months later, in the Holy Holy Hall.

Pope stood in the Holy Hall of Light, looking at his granddaughter floating in the air. A year had passed, and in the Three Skies Illumination, the Pope was shocked to discover that the Angelic Light on Xuan Yue's body had finally begun to recede. He clearly understood that the Baptism of God which had lasted for a year was about to end. His granddaughter had been completely reborn, and after this one year long baptism, her future achievements would definitely surpass his.

It had been three days. Ever since the baptism was about to end, Pope had been guarding the Holy Hall of Light.

In the air, Xuanyue was wrapped in a holy white light. The angelic light that had fused with her body was gradually fading. Xuanyue's body was glowing with a golden light. It was filled with a holy aura. She was slowly descending. Pope knew that the baptism was about to end. He began to chant the incantation loudly. His sonorous chanting helped Xuanyue land on the holy aura. The entire Holy Hall of Light was glowing with a strong golden light, especially the golden hexagram on the ground. The powerful holy aura was supporting Xuanyue's body, controlling her body to descend.

Although Xuanyue's body was separated from the angel in the air, she still had six nearly transparent wings of light on her back. With a gentle flap of the wings of light, she finally landed in the center of the golden hexagram on the ground. As Pope chanted the incantation again and again, the golden light on Xuanyue's body gradually faded. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, and the corners of her mouth were raised, revealing a faint smile.

Even a wise man like Pope, who had experienced countless vicissitudes of life, was completely stunned by Xuanyue's beauty. That faint smile was like that of a goddess from the mortal world. It deeply awed Pope's soul. After a year of baptism, Xuanyue's body not only had a strong holy aura, but her body had also matured a lot. She was now about 1.7 meters tall, and her long blue hair flowed down her back like a waterfall, reaching the ground. She was absolutely beautiful.

Pope took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He picked up the goddess garments he had prepared and walked to Xuanyue's side. He draped the white cloak over Xuanyue's body, covering her beautiful body. Pope reached out with his index finger and gently pressed it between Xuanyue's eyebrows. He chanted, "Holy power cleanses your soul, pure power fills your body. Awaken, child of God." Golden light shone from Pope's fingertip. Under the bright light, Xuanyue's body trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

Xuanyue's blue eyes were even clearer than before, without a trace of impurity. Her gaze was so gentle, and there was a faint golden light in the depths of her blue eyes. It was as if nothing had happened, and she had once again become the young Xuanyue.

A year of God's Baptism, to Xuan Yue, seemed to have passed in an instant. However, it was in this instant that she felt as if she had grown up. Everything around her was different. She could no longer have the playful heart of before. She became so calm. When she saw Pope Zhi Ming in front of her, she calmly asked, "Grandpa, what happened to me? "Grandpa?"

Pope kindly stroked Xuanyue's long blue hair. He smiled. "Child, you've grown up. You really are grandpa's pride. You didn't disappoint me. It seems that my choice back then was correct. The baptism completely stimulated your body's potential. After a year of baptism, your body has completely changed."

"A year?" Xuanyue was a little surprised. She gently nodded. "It's been a year."

Pope said, "Well, we have to go out. Your father has asked me how many times. From tomorrow onwards, you will learn the purest holy magic of the Holy Hall from grandpa."

Xuan Yue lightly nods. Under the Pope's incantation, the two of them return to the Divine Prayer Hall. There is no one in the hall. When Xuan Yue once again sees the tall angel statue in the Divine Prayer Hall, a hint of understanding appears in her heart. "Grandpa, look, this statue seems to be alive? "Yes."

Pope was startled, but his heart was overjoyed. To be able to see something from the angel statue in the Divine Prayer Hall, it was enough to prove that Yue was completely different from before. He himself had this feeling after receiving baptism and practicing for twenty years. "Come, invite Red Priest Xuanyue and White Priest Nasha here." His voice traveled far.

"Yes, Your Excellency Pope." A deep voice sounded outside the Divine Prayer Hall.

Xuanyue was still staring at the angel statue behind Pope, as if she didn't hear Pope's words. Her heart was full of peace, at this moment, no one could disturb her state of mind. The tall angel statue in front of her seemed to be smiling at her, giving her the feeling of a father's warmth and mother's care.

Only when Xuan Ye and Na Sha arrived did Xuan Yue's blankness cease. As soon as Na Sha entered the Great Hall, she saw her daughter, who was dressed like a goddess. She did not have time to salute the Pontiff and excitedly called out, "Yue Yue, I missed you so much!" She quickly threw herself at Xuan Yue and pulled her daughter, whom she had not seen for a whole year, into her arms.

Xuanyue quietly leaned into her mother's embrace, who was slightly taller than her. That warm embrace was so real, her heart was warmed, and she couldn't help but call out, "Mother."

Although Xuan Ye's longing for his daughter was no less than Na Sha's, he was still very calm. He saluted the Pope and said: "Your Holiness, please forgive Na Sha's rudeness."

Pope was obviously in a good mood, he smiled, "It's okay, you haven't seen Yue for a long time."

Xuan Ye looked at his daughter, he was surprised to find that Xuanyue and Nasha were standing together, the holy aura on their bodies seemed to be even stronger than Nasha's. He couldn't help but ask, "Father, how is Yue's progress this year? What level of holy magic did she learn?

Pope smiled, "She didn't learn anything this year, but she has changed a lot."

Xuan Ye cried out, "What? She didn't learn anything this year? "

Pope said, "You will understand later. Today is the time for your family to reunite, tomorrow I will continue to teach Yue. Go."

Xuan Ye left the Divine Prayer Hall with his wife and daughter, and returned to his home.

Nasha pulled Xuanyue's hand, as if she was afraid that her daughter would suddenly leave her again, she kindly asked, "Yue, tell mother, what did you learn from grandpa this year? "

Xuanyue shook her head, "Mother, don't ask, grandpa said, these are secrets, they can't be said."

Nasha and Xuan Ye looked at each other, the moment Xuanyue said these words, they both felt that their daughter had changed a lot.

One day later, Nasha and Xuan Ye sent their daughter back to the Divine Prayer Hall with a depressed mood. In this one day, they felt that their beloved daughter had changed a lot. She was no longer as lively as she used to be. She had become a quiet girl, as if she could see through everything. The two of them couldn't help but worry. Although Yue Yue now looked like a real goddess, they still liked the lively and active daughter of the past. No matter how they asked, Xuan Yue wouldn't say what she had done in the past year. It was as if the past year was a complete blank. The only thing that comforted them was that Yue Yue seemed to have forgotten about Dumby. She didn't mention him even once.

Divine Prayer Hall.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Pope." Xuan Ye and his family respectfully saluted to Pope.

Pope smiled, "We are a family, no need to be so polite. From now on, you can come to see Yue once every ten days, and don't disturb her the rest of the time. I believe that Yue will definitely become the new leader of the Holy Hall. Xuan Ye, Nasha, you can leave."

"Yes." Xuan Ye and Nasha unwillingly left, leaving only Pope and Xuanyue in the Divine Prayer Hall.

During this day, Xuanyue found that her heart seemed to have become calmer, even in the face of her parents' affection, her heart was still calm, it seemed that there was nothing that could interest her. "Grandpa, shall we start now?"

Pope nodded his head and said, "Yue, you have to remember, you are the first person in the Holy Hall who did not receive the baptism of God because he accepted the position of Pope. Moreover, the time you received the baptism is four times longer than the average Pope. This situation is not recorded in the books of the Holy Hall. I don't know to what extent the baptism of God has changed you, but I believe that in the future, your achievements will definitely surpass mine. Perhaps you will become the next great person in the Holy Hall after His Majesty Divine Feather. Your future is limitless, but even if you have a good foundation, you still need to work hard to make progress. Well, let's start. "

After receiving the baptism of God, Xuanyue finally began her learning process of holy magic.

One year later. Sunset Empire Assassin's Union.

"Bang!" The body of the Vice President of the Assassin's Union flew straight out and heavily hit the wall. His Lord said coldly, "I have given you enough opportunities. It has been another year and a half, and you still haven't done this little thing. What's the use of keeping you? From now on, you will be demoted to the Assassin's Team and be an Assassin. Get out of here. "

The Vice President slowly climbed up from the ground, lowered his head, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A vicious light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He bowed and left.

His Lord's heart was surging with anger. It had been almost another year and a half, and the young man named Dumb had never entered his grasp. He had found him four times, but each time he sent assassins, none of them came back alive. The last time, he sent two members of the Yuan Sha Group, but they still died. It seemed that this kid had mastered the use of Hell King's Sword. His skills seemed to be no weaker than the previous Hell King. Judging from his merciless attitude towards his assassins, he should hate the Assassin's Union to the core. Hmph, since you can't be used by me. Then you can go to hell. As long as I get the Hell King's Sword, it won't be long before I can cultivate another Hell King.

"Men."

"My Lord."

"Go, call out Mie Yi and the others who have been in seclusion."

"Yes, my Lord."

In a short while, nine black figures quietly appeared in the dark room. His Lord looked at the nine people brimming with a dangerous aura and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. "These past seven years, you have all been training hard. I am very satisfied. I can see that your skills have improved greatly. Now, the Yuan Sha Group has lost many members. From today onwards, you are officially the elders of the Assassin's Union. You will be promoted to the Yuan Sha Group and will be under my command. " The Yuan Sha Group's assassins had a very high status in the Assassin's Union. They only listened to the President, and at the same time, they could command other low level assassins.

"Thank you, my Lord." The nine assassins replied without any sadness or joy.

"En, now, I have a mission for you to carry out. Do you still remember seven years ago when you went to kill Hell King? That mission failed, and Hell King later accepted a disciple. Although Hell King died under our pursuit, he passed the Hell King's Sword to his disciple. However, he passed the Hell King's Sword to his disciple. His disciple had now become the new Hell King. He gave himself the nickname of Death God. His killing intent seems to be even stronger than Hell King's. I once sent four groups of assassins to subdue him, but they all died under his sword. In total, we lost seventeen ninjas, eight exterminators, and two Yuan Sha. According to my estimates, his skills shouldn't be below Hell King's. Right now, he is not in the Sunset Empire. Your mission is to find him, kill him, and bring the Hell King's Sword back to me. After you succeed, there will be a great reward. As for the specifics, you can ask the Vice President. Oh, because of his recent failures, I have already demoted him to an exterminator. Go, I will give you three months. Don't let me down. The organization will provide you with the necessary information at any time. This mission will be led by Mie Yi. "

When they heard His Lord mention the word King of Hell, there was a strange light in the eyes of the nine assassins. "Yes, My Lord." A figure flashed, and the dim secret room was restored to calmness.

"Death God? Hmph, I don't believe I can't kill you this time. Now is the time to complete the request of those nobles. " Previously, he hadn't accepted the mission to assassinate Death God because he wanted to rope in Dumb. But now, the deaths of the two Yuan Sha members made him give up. The Lord's eyes flashed with a frightening red light, and he quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Ding! Dumb casually deflected Phoenix Slayer's attack, and the surging true energy pushed Phoenix Slayer three meters away. Lai Feng staggered and struggled to steady herself. She gasped for breath and her beautiful eyes flashed with anger and shock. It had been more than a year, and she had tried to assassinate this youth more than ten times, but she hadn't been able to harm him at all. She was shocked to discover that every time she met him, his strength would increase, and the distance between them would grow larger and larger. However, he wouldn't harm her, and would only push her back, allowing her to leave. Why did the killing intent in her heart grow weaker and weaker? Why did her attacks become weaker and weaker? She had originally planned to fight with her life on the line, but she was only able to attack once before it was blocked. Her entire body felt powerless. The youth in front of her was like a tall mountain, and his steady aura made it hard for her to breathe. Fourth Uncle! Why don't you bless me and let me kill him? Why is it that every time I see him, my heart is in a mess?

The Yanshi Brothers and Zhuo Yun stood to the side, frowning as they looked at the girl who seemed to be enjoying herself. They weren't worried in the slightest. They had long since recognized that this girl was one of the targets of the thieves' union. She had tried to assassinate Dumb more than ten times, but she hadn't had the slightest chance of success. They knew that the main reason why Dumb hadn't harmed her was because of her ice-cold temperament. They had already gotten used to seeing this girl with extraordinary strength.

Zhuo Yun couldn't help but say, "Miss, why do you have to do this? You won't be able to kill Dumb. Just give up. "

Phoenix Slayer's eyes were filled with anger, and she snorted. She turned around and ran. Her figure flickered, and she disappeared from everyone's line of sight. She thought that since she couldn't kill him now, she had to find a way to increase her strength. Perhaps she would have the chance to do so the next time they met. She had already left the thieves' union for more than a year, and it was time to go back.

As Dumby watched Phoenix Slayer leave, a sense of disappointment and frustration welled up in his heart. A year and a half had already passed. The killing intent in his heart had become more and more powerful. Over the past year and a half, he had lost count of the number of evildoers that he had killed. Every time he killed someone, he would feel an indescribable excitement. This was especially true for the assassins that had come to test him. He hadn't even given them a chance to speak before they had died under his Hell King Sword. Uncle Owen's revenge. He was doing his best to avenge them. Including Zhuo Yun and the Qi Spirit, they had already successfully rescued 15 elves. But what made everyone sad was that apart from the lucky Zhuo Yun, the other 14 elves had suffered great devastation. After being rescued, they had all chosen to commit suicide to cleanse their souls. The kind elves had become unyielding after suffering such devastation. When a person wholeheartedly sought death, no one could stop them. Seeing the elves die one after another, Dumb's heart grew colder and colder. Every time he rescued the elves, he would cruelly kill the aristocrats that had collected the elves, as well as their accomplices. Then, he would leave the word "Grim Reaper" on the walls. He vented his hatred on the dark forces. It seemed that only by killing could he feel better. The Grim Reaper had already become the name of the Setting Sun Empire's aristocrats. They were afraid that they would become the Grim Reaper's next target, so they became much more restrained. The aristocrats banded together and set a black market price. As long as anyone could kill the Grim Reaper, they were willing to pay tens of millions of gold coins. But up until now, apart from the marquise and the silver woman, no one had managed to escape from the Grim Reaper. Dumb seemed to have become the true Grim Reaper.

After watching 14 of her clansmen commit suicide in the past year and a half, Zhuo Yun's heart had become numb. In the small bag on her back, there were 14 heads made from the ashes of the elves. Each head represented the life of one of her clansmen! Just by looking at the statues, Zhuo Yun's heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. If it wasn't for the Yanshi Brothers and Dumb who kept comforting her, she would have broken down. She only had one thought in her heart now, and that was to save the little princess of the elves.

The Yanshi Brothers were extremely worried as they watched Dumb's personality change gradually. Although they wanted to persuade Dumb, the death of the elves increased their murderous intent. How could they change Dumb? Fortunately, the elves that Dumb killed were all evil people. That was the only thing they could be happy about.

Dumb's power had made great progress in the past year and a half. After the test of blood and fire and his own unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in absorbing 10% of the vital energy that Tiangang Kensei gave him. Coupled with the gains from his own cultivation, he had reached the peak of the eighth stage of the Rebirth Skill Manual. The silver golden body in his Dantian had already shrunk to the size of an inch and a half. The solid fighting aura that it had transformed into had also changed from a light yellow to a light green color, and then to a yellow-green color. Its power had obviously increased a lot, and the range of its control had also increased. However, more than a month ago, his skill seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and it was very difficult for him to improve any further. He could no longer absorb the energy of the second golden body in his chest. Although Dumby was confused, he could not find a solution. He could only helplessly train hard, hoping that he would be able to make a breakthrough one day.

Yan Li frowned and said, "Dumb, this female thief is always pestering you. It's so troublesome. The thieves' guild is not a good person. They were the ones who kidnapped the elves in the Elven Forest. If it weren't for them, those elves wouldn't have died so tragically. Why can't you get rid of her pestering?

Dumb naturally understood the meaning of Yan Li's words. He sighed and smiled bitterly. "Big Brother Yan Li, although she's not a good person and has always wanted to kill me, I can't kill her. But every time I see her cold face, I can't feel a trace of killing intent. I know the thieves' guild is also dark, but I … "

Yan Li said, "Even if you don't kill her, you can still catch her and ask her about the elves' whereabouts. That way, we won't have to look for them everywhere."

Yanshi shouted in a deep voice, "Ah Li, don't say anymore. If my guess is correct, the thieves' guild is only responsible for catching the elves and handing them over to the employer. They won't know the whereabouts of the elves. From what I can see, that girl is also a sentimental person. Otherwise, she wouldn't keep attacking Dumby for revenge. As for the matter of kidnapping the elves, it's the problem of the thieves' guild's leader. They are completely driven by the high profits. And that girl should only be the executor.

Dumb gratefully looked at Yanshi. He didn't want to hurt the girl who often tried to assassinate him. Every time he saw that girl, he felt as if Ice had come back to life. In his heart, Ice's position was no less than Xuanyue's. He sighed and coldly said, "The thieves' guild will be my target in the future."
