He had no intention of getting involved in such a despicable act as kidnapping, he was just keeping watch for Tang Yuan.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a doubtful voice from Tang Yuan who was not far away:
"Strange, why is the Soul Locking Mirror ineffective?"
Newman frowned slightly: "Did you bring out an ordinary mirror as a soul-locking mirror?"
After saying this casually, his gaze lingered on the bronze mirror in Tang Yuan's hand for a moment, frowning and thinking: "This is indeed the Soul Locking Mirror... How could it not be effective?"
"I guess this girl has some magic weapon that can resist the enchanting effect of the Soul Locking Mirror."
The fifth-rank priest sighed softly, "Forget it, I'll help you see what's so strange about her."
The priest took out a cross pendant from his arms, clasped his hands together, and a brilliant golden light emanated from his palms. The next moment, his eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of golden light as he stared at the girl at the door.
'True Identity Insight' can reveal a person's realm and even read a certain degree of their memory.
This is also one of the techniques handed down by the Holy See Church.
...Why can’t I see his true identity?
When the priest cast his eyes on the silver-haired beauty in front of him, he was surprised to discover this fact.
You know, it's only been three months since the passage appeared. What kind of magic weapon did this girl get that can shield the attack of the Soul-Locking Mirror and be immune to his "true body detection"?
The priest once again injected more spiritual energy into his eyes, which were then filled with a majestic golden light.
Tang Yuan was getting a little impatient and asked, "What's going on? If it doesn't work, I'll just take her away directly—"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a scream.
Newman covered his eyes in pain, blood dripping from the corners of his eyes. He staggered back, staring at the silver-haired beauty in front of the door in horror.
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Before he could come to his senses, he heard Newman's trembling and terrified voice say, "Run, run!"
Chapter 19 Undercurrent surging
Father Newman's mentality collapsed.
A fifth-rank priest, logically speaking, is not invincible among the stars, but as long as one is careful, no one can do anything to him.
This is the confidence that the Holy See Church gave him.
That's why Newman agreed to Tang Yuan's request and helped Tang Yuan get rid of an enemy on the way to Pingcheng...or in other words, just stepped on an ant to death.
however……
The person who opened the door was not the boy named Yu Ze, but a very beautiful girl.
The Soul Locking Mirror has no effect on her, and the True Body Discovery has no effect on her either...
Usually there are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that the other party is carrying a low-grade or even high-grade shielding device.
The second possibility... is that the opponent's strength completely crushes the two of them.
But you have to know that this is the surface of the stars, not the heaven!
It has only been less than three months since the passage connecting to heaven was opened. How is it possible that someone has already been promoted to the fourth rank?
No... He had just tried his best to see through the other party's true identity. Even though he had just entered the fourth rank, he could vaguely see some of the other party's strength.
However, when he tried to see the girl's true identity just now, he could not see anything, as if he was staring into the abyss.
The peak of the fourth rank?
Or in other words... a third-grade great power?
Just thinking about this possibility, Newman's legs couldn't help but tremble.
The realm of great power corresponds to the third-rank pope of the Holy See Church... Even in the Holy See Church, he has only seen one pope-level figure.
Staring in horror at the silver-haired beauty in front of him who was as innocent as a little white rabbit, Newman felt his adrenaline surge, and every nerve in his body was urging him to run away.
The fear in her heart continued to surge, and she grabbed Tang Yuan's arm tightly: "Run away... take me with you!"
Tang Yuan hadn't figured out the situation yet, so when he heard this, he instinctively thought that the priest had changed his mind at the last minute.
When he looked at the silver-haired beauty again, who had a bewildered look on her face and seemed unaware of what had happened, he became ruthless, drew out his knife with a grim smile and rushed towards Baiyin.
However, at this moment, a hand pressed on the back of his head.
Tang Yuan turned his head subconsciously, and his pupils shrank slightly.
A young man appeared in the field of vision. He had short, slightly messy black hair and looked fair and delicate.
When did he get behind me? !
No, now is not the time to think about this...
After a brief panic, Tang Yuan decisively grasped the knife and stabbed towards Yu Ze.
With the help of spiritual energy, his movements are much faster than those of ordinary people.
However, before the dagger was thrust out, Yu Ze had already slightly turned his head to avoid it, pressed Tang Yuan's head with his right hand, and slammed it hard to the ground!
boom!
There was a rather heavy crash, and a spider-web-like crack appeared on the wall.
Before he could see Yu Ze's appearance clearly, Tang Yuan fainted completely.
Newman on the side looked at the silver-haired beauty with horror.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out why such a "monster" exists in the world.
"you--"
He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he saw this extremely dangerous girl walking towards him in silver low-heeled sandals, raising her foot to step on the back of his head.
At this moment, a hand pressed down on Baiyin's ankle.
Yu Ze said gently: "Don't be like this."
Newman seemed to see hope.
However, in the next moment, Yu Ze held the priest's head and smashed it hard against the wall!
"Let me do it, so as not to dirty your feet."
A dull voice sounded, and Newman felt his brain shake and saw stars.
But he knew that once he fainted, it would be all over, so he bit the tip of his tongue to maintain his self-control, and a light golden light emanated from his body, enveloping himself. He tried to fight back and punched Yu Ze in the face.
boom!
Yu Ze held Newman's head and smashed it on the ground again.
A clearly visible crack appeared on the ground.
He bent down and looked at Newman twice, then sighed softly: "You damaged the floor at the door of my house, so you should pay for it later, right?"
"..."
Newman opened his mouth, thinking that it was you who broke the floor. Then he felt the back of his head being lifted up by Yu Ze again, as if it was about to come into close contact with the concrete floor. He hurriedly said, "... Pay for it, I'll pay for it!"
Yu Ze paused.
Newman breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the next moment, his head hit the floor heavily again.
Why is it different from what we agreed... This was the first thought that popped into Newman's mind before he fell into a coma.
"Even if I compensate you, you have to sleep with me first." As if the boy heard his thoughts, the voice sounded softly in his ears.
Until now, Newman has not figured out which step went wrong.
A fifth-rank priest and a seventh-rank deacon holding a holy relic, two members of the Holy See Church, should be able to walk sideways in today's world, if not invincible.
But he failed in his first attempt in Pingcheng...
This time, Newman finally fainted.
……
"Is this the night in a modern city? It's really lively."
In the luxurious presidential suite, Ji Ningshuang looked down at the brilliant lights of the city at night through the glass curtain wall and spoke softly.
She was wearing a snow-white palace dress, pure and beautiful as a painting, cold and noble.
There seemed to be a hint of coldness between his eyebrows, as if to keep people away.
"It has only been three months since the passage appeared, but it seems that many monks have already appeared here, and even a fifth-rank priest from the Western Continent has come here... No wonder there is so much noise in this city at night."
Maid Mei said respectfully.
Although they did not leave the hotel, they could still vaguely sense the undercurrents in the city.
Since the emergence of the crossing channel, the number of open and covert struggles between the outer stars and the inner stars has increased significantly.
Everyone hopes to cooperate with God as soon as possible to obtain natural treasures and prolong life.
Because those elderly people who hold high positions of power all hope to live longer.
The cooperation between Guiyi Sect and Biaoxing involves the interests of too many people.
Pingcheng is now like the center of a storm, with countless people involved in it, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
In the past two days, many people have taken flights to Pingcheng Airport every day, and even the bordering island countries seem to have started to take action.
"The Holy See Church..."
Ji Ningshuang whispered to herself, thinking of the priest she saw when she went to the hotel today.
The heavens are divided into two lands, the East Continent and the West Continent, but within these two lands there are many lush regions like tree branches.
The cultivation systems of the two places are almost completely different.
But I didn't expect that the Holy See Church would also get involved.
"Master, do you want to expel those people from the Holy See Church from Pingcheng?" the maid suddenly asked in a low voice.
"It doesn't have to be like this."
The stunningly beautiful woman suddenly smiled brightly, and the night view of the entire city seemed to dim a little.
There was a hint of joking and playfulness in her tone: "Since they all want a piece of the pie, let's satisfy their wishes."
"Have people prepare. A spiritual energy test will be held in Pingcheng in three days. Those who pass the test can report directly to Guiyi Sect when they travel through time and space in the future."
The maid was stunned for a moment, but still bowed respectfully: "Yes."
"correct."
As if she had thought of something, Ji Ningshuang called the maid: "When the time comes, I need you to pay more attention to someone."
Ji Ningshuang said something softly. After a brief moment of daze, the maid seemed to gradually understand something and bowed slightly: "I will do it right away."
After she finished speaking, she saw Ji Ningshuang raising her hands and making hand gestures, and her figure seemed to gradually fade away. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you going out so late?"
"Go see an old friend."
Ji Ningshuang looked at the night scene outside the window, and the entire city seemed to be reflected in her beautiful eyes like a pool of clear water.
She whispered, "She has been sleeping in the cave for two thousand years. She should have woken up now."
The maid seemed to understand something and whispered, "You mean... Senior Baiyin's cave ruins?"
Ji Ningshuang remained silent.
Back then in that big house, her relationship with Baiyin wasn't very good.
But now that everyone has dispersed, the only things worth reminiscing about are those who we used to spend every day with.
...even some old friends with whom I had a bad relationship in the past.
"She would be very happy if she knew you came to see her," Mei said respectfully.
Ji Ningshuang looked in the direction of the Dongtian ruins and whispered to herself, "I hope so."
She raised her hand and made a gesture, and her figure disappeared into the hotel room like a wisp of white smoke.
