"Damn, where did all the witches go?"
Deep in the dense forest, two masked figures swiftly passed by, their afterimages stirring the mist, and red leaves fell to the ground.
With the masked figure 'K' complaining, the masked figure 'Q' suddenly halted and looked up.
"Did you sense that? The flow of this mist has sped up."
The 'Q' mask tilted, her gaze shifting westward, "Let's move in that direction."
Reminded by Miss Mu, Xia Feng also sensed something amiss and turned his head, speaking in a deep voice, "Let's go check it out."
Over the past few days, he and Mu Qingtong had been wandering around the island, originally thinking they could continually hunt the Crying Witches using Miss Mu's special abilities.
However, unexpectedly, after searching for a whole eight days, they had encountered only five Crying Witches and easily killed them, obtaining four Golden Shining Stones and one Fire Obsidian.
There were no Water Bright Stones.
Nevertheless, their search wasn't entirely fruitless; the trail of battle scars stretching through the forest indicated that a certain force had been here before.
This force seemed to also have the capability to deal with the Crying Witches and had collected a large number of Yao Stones.
While Xia Feng was pondering, 'Miss Jianzhu's Candlelight Guidance' suddenly reacted violently, and he instantly sensed it.
A strong reaction from the Yao Stones appeared ahead.
This slightly surprised him; though the candlelight guidance had been reacting these past few days, it had never been as clear as now.
Guessing that they had entered within a certain distance which clarified the direction of the guidance, Xia Feng followed Mu Qingtong toward the front.
"Bang bang—" At that moment, the Evil Demon Heart suddenly started beating rapidly, he puzzledly looked up, "Is there a reaction from the Evil Spirit Pearl? Interesting..."
"Miss Mu, come to my side; the next part is probably my scene."
Outside Shuilian Cave.
Nearly a hundred Black Moon Knights were divided into three array squads, their silver armor gleaming and their faces solemn as they all knelt down and voiced in unison, "Holy Daughter."
Jiang Qiue stood barefoot with her hands behind her back on a high rock, her cyan dress fluttering in the wind, her eyes closed, her aura ethereal.
She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, Master Yusi quickly stepped forward, speaking solemnly, "Holy Daughter, the Evil Transformation Array is ready."
The cyan-dressed woman nodded, "Hmm, begin."
The so-called Evil Transformation Array is actually a Spirit Array formed by the combination of the Evil Extinguishing Spirit Robe, designed to resist the erosion of Evil Power, and some special Spiritual Artifacts.
It can forcibly break through the Evil Power Waterfall in front of Shuilian Cave.
For instance, one of the knights has a Spiritual Artifact called the 'Evil Power Magnet,' which can actively attract Evil Power to the artifact, thus preventing its master from being eroded by the Evil Power.
Of course, if this artifact absorbs too much Evil Power, it can be very easily damaged and rendered unusable.
Similarly, there is a Spiritual Artifact called 'Zhi Xin Water,' which can actively absorb Evil Power and convert part of it into Zhi Xin Water using the artifact's capabilities. Enemies attacked by Zhi Xin Water will experience memory loss.
Naturally, the Spirit Master using this artifact will also suffer a drastic drop in rationality due to actively absorbing Evil Power, which comes with significant side effects.
However, despite the very obvious side effects, the owner of such capabilities is highly sought after in the 'Evil Battlefield,' as they can save lives at critical moments.
This time coming to Witch Island, the Black Moon Church had gone to great lengths to specifically gather these bearers of Spiritual Artifacts that could influence Evil Power.
All for the sake of seizing the Witch's Key!
Using these Spiritual Artifacts in conjunction with the Evil Extinguishing Spirit Robe and fully blessing them onto Jiang Qiue would protect her as she forcefully made her way through the Eli Power Waterfall and entered the Shuilian Cave.
At that moment, a gust of wind rose, and everyone abruptly looked up.
Master Yusi pondered thoughtfully, "Teacher, your guess was indeed correct; this Purple Mist has truly accelerated!"
The area within five hundred meters around Shuilian Cave had always been a safe zone, but now the Purple Mist from all directions was moving at a speed over a thousand times faster, visibly gathering around at an accelerating pace.
However, the members of the Black Moon Church were not panicked, as the number of Crying Witches nearby was few.
Moreover, they had "A-rank Spiritual Clothes • Divine King Statue" as a safety net, well-prepared.
"Eh? Someone has broken in?" Master Yusi suddenly sensed something, his lips curled up as he turned to look back, a bloodthirsty gleam flashing in his eyes.
Truth be told, he wasn't afraid of having no enemies come; he was afraid of them not coming at all.
If no foolish enemy came to deliver themselves to death, wouldn't his preparations be in vain?
"Teacher, you confidently rush through the Eli Power Waterfall; I will meet them." Find the newest release on novel⟡fire.net
The woman in the cyan dress nodded faintly and strode toward the direction of Shuilian Cave.
Master Yusi then approached the sea of mist.
In front of the Purple Mist, a line of knights was arrayed, with two in black and gold armor at the forefront, possessing the formidable strength of the True Martial Realm.
Even within the same realm of True Martial, the strength of different True Martial cultivators could vary significantly, and one measure used to distinguish them was the number of A-rank Spiritual Clothes.
Most True Martial cultivators only had one A-rank Spiritual Cloth, but a small fraction who were seen as potential Venerables used two A-rank Spiritual Clothes.
As such, some had further subdivided the True Martial Realm into True Martial Realm 1 and True Martial Realm 2, beyond which lay the Venerable Realm.
Additionally, some divided the True Martial realms based on the levels of Spiritual Pressure.
However, it was difficult to precisely represent a Spirit Master's overall strength by the level of Spiritual Pressure alone, whereas the quantity of A-rank Spiritual Clothes could.
Those who could use two A-rank Spiritual Clothes were definitely more formidable than those with only one, and how much more formidable depended on the cooperation and restraining relationships among various abilities of the Spirit Masters.
This time, the Black Moon Church had dispatched two Cathedral Knights and one Archbishop, totaling three True Martial cultivators.
Both Cathedral Knights were in True Martial Realm 1, standing right in front.
The Archbishop, named Xu Mengen, was currently leading the overall situation outside the island with the Black Moon Fleet and was in True Martial Realm 2.
Master Yusi bowed and asked with a deep voice filled with doubt, "Lords, have you ascertained the identity of the intruders?"
One Cathedral Knight, standing over two meters tall with a rugged, dark complexion, didn't turn around; he simply stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowing while mirror-like azure luminescence flickered in his eye sockets:
"Hmm? They don't seem to be operatives from Burning Heaven but rather two individuals wearing black robes and masks, K, Q... Strange, why are they completely unaffected by the Evil Power?"
Masked individuals? Master Yusi was slightly stunned; those two fools aren't dead?
That's interesting. Logically, being surrounded by so many Crying Witches, they shouldn't have been able to escape.
It seemed that these masked individuals had some treasures on them, perhaps some rare Divine Relics? Master Yusi excitedly speculated in his mind.
At the moment, he held a piece of Spirit Paper for an A-rank Spiritual Cloth, which he had studied for a long time but never mastered, so instead of stubbornly wrestling with A-rank Spiritual Clothes, it would be more effective to collect some powerful Divine Relics to enhance his strength.
While pondering, he summoned the excitement ring and stimulated his vocal cords.
Suddenly, his vocal cords entered an excited state, undergoing a transformation.
