I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 683. S-Rank Spiritual Artifact: Return to the Ruins Dream

In the end, Angie the Holy Shepherd compromised and agreed to let Hathaway also sign a slave contract with Xia Feng.

Hathaway is now a Heroic Spirit. Although she has not fully inherited her strength from her previous life, she is still at the peak of the Saint Realm and is extremely powerful.

During the negotiations between Anji and Xia Feng.

Hathaway stood quietly to the side, dressed in a dark, sleeveless, figure-hugging cheongsam, her upturned eyelids half-closed, her thoughts seemingly still somewhat unclear and unstable.

However, her scattered pupils quickly focused again, and the blood-red pupil in the black thorn mask covering her left eye expanded and contracted, radiating the same terrifying and sinister aura as Angie the Holy Shepherd.

She stared coldly at Xia Feng. Since she had not yet been given emotions and only had memories of her previous life, she showed no emotion at all, like a robot.

Soon, Xia Feng completed the signing of slave contracts with Angie and Hathaway.

We gained two new recruits.

Since he is his subordinate, it makes sense for Holy Shepherd Angi to hand over the Sumeru King's Decree.

"The Sumeru King Token in your hand is the Red King's, isn't it?" Xia Feng smiled slightly, his implication quite clear.

“…” Angie silently raised his right hand, and a red light flashed on the back of his hand, revealing an ancient token surrounded by red light.

But in the next instant, the token vanished like a virtual phantom.

"Young Master, I do not actually possess the Sumeru King's Decree. All my previous deceptions were merely attempts to deceive the Burning Angel's disciples into giving me the Divine Faith Fruit." The gray-robed old man lowered his face even further, speaking respectfully in a deep voice.

"???"

Xia Feng was full of questions and looked suspicious. "No, you old madman, are you playing me for a fool?"

"It's the truth." But then, Miss Mu's aloof thoughts echoed in his mind. Xia Feng paused, then quickly realized what she meant.

No wonder Pastor Angie used the Divine Faith Fruit immediately after receiving it.

The Burning Angel disciples, Xia Feng, and the others all thought that this old guy was so eager to resurrect Hathaway that he had gone mad and lost his mind.

But in reality, this old fellow simply didn't have the Sumeru King's Token, making it impossible for him to complete the transaction with the Burning Angel's disciple.
If the Burning Angels discovered the truth, they would never allow her to safely use the Divine Faith Fruit to revive Hathaway.

The successful implementation of all these plans was thanks to Anji Shengmu's incredibly realistic forgery skills; even Xia Feng, who had seen the True King's Token, couldn't tell that the Sumeru King's Token was fake.

"It is widely rumored that I stole the Sumeru King's Decree from the main treasury, but in fact, there was a mysterious person wearing a lion's head mask at the time, and it was this person who took the Sumeru King's Decree."

Anji Holy Pastor explained, “Once the rumors started, there was no way to refute them. So I decided to play along and pretended that I had indeed obtained the Sumeru King’s Decree, and eventually made contact with Burning Heaven through it.”

Xia Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead. It turned out that it wasn't an old madman, but an old cunning bastard.

This Angie Holy Shepherd is really too much.

He's got a knack for getting something for nothing.

All told, Angie the Holy Shepherd had no treasures, but in just a few minutes, he obtained the Divine Faith Fruit and successfully resurrected Hathaway. Then, with Xia Feng's help, he achieved an invincible life extension for Hathaway.

The four apostles of Burning Heaven were still foolishly maintaining a concealment barrier outside the church, protecting them.

This old fox probably calculated that the Burning Angel disciples wouldn't dare to expose themselves and attract the Holy Shepherd of Moro, which is why he acted so recklessly. He's skilled and daring.

Only the world where the Burning Angels were wounded was achieved.

"Young Master." The gray-robed old man seemed to have learned how to smile obsequiously; his lips were stiff and his smile was still unpleasant. He asked respectfully, "May I ask about the Fourth Flame?"

“You shouldn’t be asking me that.” Xia Feng looked at the snow-clad saintess beside him. Chana Xue shook her head and smiled faintly: “Saint Shepherd should have guessed it by now. When I said I knew where the fire seed was, it was just a delaying tactic. As for the truth about the massacre that night, my memory was interfered with by a mysterious person, and I don’t remember the specifics anymore.”

"I see." Angie nodded, looking like she believed him, but in reality, she didn't believe Chana Yuki's words.

However, she doesn't yet know the extent of the relationship between this new generation of holy maiden with impure thoughts and the young master, and she doesn't intend to ask or question any further.

"One last question: Are there any owners of A-grade or even S-grade spiritual artifacts within the Black Moon Main Court?"

Although he didn't know why Xia Feng was asking this, Angie, being quite self-aware, didn't intend to ask any further questions. A special piece of paper, encrypted with spiritual particles, appeared in his palm and he handed it to Xia Feng:

"In order to find enhanced spiritual artifacts, this is the information I have collected over the years on the spiritual artifacts of some priests of the Black Moon Church, and even the Pope's spiritual artifacts."

Information on a magical artifact? Xia Feng took it in surprise, and a large amount of information instantly flooded into his mind.

There are over 6,300 pieces of information about magical artifacts.

This includes Cha Nayuki's A-grade spiritual weapon, Naraku no Madoka.

Besides the Naraku Realm, there are two A-rank spiritual artifacts and one S-rank spiritual artifact!
Xia Feng's attention was immediately drawn to it.

[S-Rank - Return to the Ruins Dream]

Owner: Black Moon Pope

[Known Characteristic 1: Possesses extremely powerful restraining effect against mental abilities (including but not limited to spiritual artifacts and spiritual clothing)]

[Known trait 2: The higher the target's mental strength, the stronger the restraining effect.]

Information about Guixu Mengyan is scarce; there are no specific names or functions of his abilities, only two characteristics are described.

But this instantly invigorated Xia Feng, making him incredibly excited!

It can actually restrain—spiritual artifacts?!
Moreover, the higher the target's mental strength, the stronger the restraining effect. Wouldn't that completely suppress Miss Mu?
What a dream weapon this is!

Xia Feng's lips began to curl involuntarily. Although he hadn't obtained the S-rank spiritual artifact yet, he already wanted to pop champagne halfway through the night. He wanted to laugh! He really wanted to laugh!
Hehehe~~ World-destroying witch, you're really doomed this time!

No, no, I have to hold back! Xia Feng suppressed his joy, forcing a smile that was harder to hide than an AK's, and raised his eyes to speak calmly:
"Isn't there a more detailed description of the Pope's magical artifact?"

"The Pope's magical artifacts have always been shrouded in mystery. For ten thousand years, no one has known their specific functions. Perhaps those who did know are all dead. I only learned this information by chance."

Angie shook her head. "As for anything else, that's all."

As she was speaking, her elderly, hunched body swayed, and her face grew even paler.

This is a side effect of using the Authority of Life - Immortal Heroic Spirit.

By sacrificing one's own spiritual foundation, one can revive trusted relatives from the annals of history, thus creating a "Heroic Spirit."

However, if the user is not a divine being, their soul cannot withstand the bestowal of this authority, and they will become increasingly exhausted, eventually falling into a coma for at least half a month.

Seeing that Anji was already tired and could hardly stay awake, Xia Feng knew that they couldn't talk any longer.

There are still four apostles watching from the outside world, and the crisis is far from over.

We need to think of a way to escape.
