No, he could not rely on Lord Fang Heng for everything. He had to think of a way to stall for time first. Li Xue’s team would definitely think of a way offline.
This was a great opportunity. No matter what, he had to bite off a piece of meat from the Holy Court!
Not far away, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei hid in the dark and observed carefully.
“What should we do?” Mo Jiawei asked softly, feeling rather helpless.
He had just used his talent skill investigation techniques to scan Karkkila. Other than his name, a simple background introduction, and the names of a few skills that seemed very powerful, there were many question marks.
Archbishop Karkkila’s level was much higher than his.
“There’s too much of a difference in levels. I can’t find any weaknesses with my scouting talent. Ed and the others brought quite a lot of people, but they’re not very useful. We can’t stop the Holy Court if they really want to leave.”
Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then looked at the entrance of the mine and asked, “There are no signs of the plague aura leaking out. What are the people of the Holy Court doing inside? Could it be that they went in to take a look at the seal?”
Mo Jiawei pursed his lips and said with disdain, “I don’t think so. The people from the Holy Court aren’t good. They’re not that kind-hearted.”
“That makes sense. Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Yes.”
Taking advantage of the fact that most people’s attention was focused on the Holy Court’s group, Fang Heng and the other two sneaked into the mine at the back.
Following the tunnel dug by the zombies, Fang Heng returned to the deepest part of the sealed land. He squatted down to check the central seal.
Mo Jiawei stood at the side and waited.
Two minutes passed.
Mo Jiawei couldn’t help but ask, “How is it?”
“The seal has been touched.”
Mo Jiawei swallowed his saliva carefully and asked, “And then?”
“No more.”
“Huh?”
“My sealing skill level is not high. I can only determine that the seal has been touched by the people of the Holy Court. I don’t know what they did inside.”
Mo Jiawei stroked his chin and continued doubtfully, “The people of the Holy Court shouldn’t have such a high level of thought. They didn’t come here in the middle of the night in such a secretive manner just to strengthen the seal, right?”
Fang Heng nodded in agreement, “I agree.”
Mo Jiawei was stumped. He hesitated and said, “But we can’t find any evidence of the Holy Court’s wrongdoings. We don’t have enough reason to convince the people outside to deal with the Holy Court. It’s too easy for them to just go off like that.”
“Let them go? That might not be the case…”
Fang Heng squatted down and touched the yellow seal.
“Chi…”
With a soft sound, the tattered seal was easily torn off by Fang Heng.
Mo Jiawei was shocked by Fang Heng’s actions and looked up at him.
“Ah, you…”
Fang Heng shrugged.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. My hand slipped.”
“Boss, are you kidding me?”
“Hurry up and run! Remember not to let anyone see you!”
Fang Heng quickly reached out as he spoke and tore off the remaining sealing rune from the alchemy magic array.
“Chi chi chi!!!”
In the next second, a black plague aura visible to the naked eye seeped out from the broken seal!
“Let’s go!”
The two of them quickly rushed toward the entrance of the cave.
Outside the cave, Zhuo Lingfang brought two players and rushed to the mine. They had just received orders from Li Xue’s team to come and check on the seal in the depths of the mine.
Unexpectedly, before they could enter the mine, the team bumped into Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei who were walking out of the cave.
Zhuo Lingfang could not see Fang Heng’s face clearly at first, so she subconsciously shouted,
“You are…”
Fang Heng suddenly disappeared from where he was and teleported to Zhuo Lingfang’s side, reaching out to cover her mouth.
“Shh!”
It was Fang Heng!
Zhuo Lingfang did not expect Fang Heng to appear in the mine. She hurriedly waved her hand to indicate that she would not shout.
Fang Heng slowly let go of his hand and said, “Listen to me. There’s a small matter that I need your help with. Next, I’ll have to test your acting skills…”
“Wait, do as I say, remember?”
Zhuo Lingfang listened to Fang Heng’s plan and her eyes flashed with surprise. She did not dare to speak loudly and only nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
…
Not far away from the mine, Karkkila led the Holy Court’s group out of the city.
Everyone followed the Holy Court and formed a circle, but no one dared to stop them.
Seeing that Karkkila was about to leave the mine area, Ed was anxious.
Li Xue’s team’s evaluation report had already been sent out. If they fought, some of the feudal lords’ entourage and the Empire’s mages might join in the battle to help. However, Fang Heng was not around, so the chances of stopping the Holy Court’s team were almost zero!
A skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. The Holy Court was a type of faith inheritance, and there were still many loyal followers on the continent.
Many feudal lords did not like the Holy Court, but they had their considerations and were not willing to fall out with them.
What should he do?
It was not easy to catch a flaw in the enemy.
Just let them escape?
Ed was extremely unwilling.
Suddenly, Ed’s eyelids twitched as he looked behind him.
What was that?
A thick black fog surged from the mine entrance behind them!
“Not good! It’s the plague aura!”
Seeing this, someone immediately shouted.
Everyone looked behind them, and their expressions changed drastically.
Black plague aura that was visible to the naked eye spewed out from the entrance of the mine!
The abyssal demon?
Ed’s heart skipped a beat.
The seal was broken again?
Oh no!
Ed turned around and stared at the Holy Court group.
“You dare to release the abyssal demon?!”
The people from the Holy Court were also surprised to see the sudden appearance of the plague aura. They could not help but look at Karkkila.
What was going on? Didn’t he say that the effects of the seal-breaking sword would be triggered slowly and that the plague aura wouldn’t erupt in a short time?
Why did it suddenly explode?
Karkkila’s expression also changed.
What? No way! It didn’t make sense!
Why did the plague aura suddenly erupt?
The eyes and expressions of the people from the Holy Court were seen by everyone present. Everyone had the same thought at the same time.
Karkkila! He was the crux of the problem!
The seven ghost towers gathered around the entrance of the mine activated at the same time, releasing a dim purple light. The plague aura that overflowed from the mine was quickly dissolved by the purple light.
Karkkila felt the change in everyone’s expressions, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt as if he had been set up. He immediately whispered to his companions, “Ignore them. Let’s go. Let’s leave quickly.”
“Stop!”
A high-tier mage walked out of the crowd.
Dunant’s face was ashen, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. He was extremely angry. Everyone’s eyes were focused on Dunant.
Ed’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect that the first one to stand out and stop the Holy Court would be a high-tier mage.
“The archbishop is in such a hurry to leave? Aren’t you going to explain this to us?”
Dunant stared at Karkkila.
He was originally an ordinary high-tier mage who cultivated the study of necromancy, and he was one of the few necromancers on the continent.
