Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 3: Seeds of Warmth! Support for the Exorcism Pass!
If traveling by carriage, it would take at least several days to get from Zhennan Pass in the south of the Temple Alliance to Exorcism Pass in the east.

However, with the magic airship, the support speed is greatly accelerated, and it only takes half a day to arrive.

Arriving once again at the familiar Exorcism Pass, Chu Zichen looked down from the magic airship and could see countless humans fighting a bloody battle against the demons on the city walls.

"landing."

Ruoshui piloted the magic airship and slowly landed behind the safe exorcism city.

Soon, a group of people came to greet them, led by a magician with long light blue hair and wearing a light blue magic robe.

She is Lan Yanyu, the leader of the Exorcist Guild and Cai'er's mother.

Following Lan Yanyu was a petite figure with long purple hair—none other than Cai'er.
Upon learning that a support team of pastors from Zhennanguan was coming, she had a premonition that Chu Zichen must be among them.

Sure enough, Cai'er's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Zichen in the group.

I finally saw him again!
Ever since that day when she met Chu Zichen and was saved by him with all his might, a seed of warmth has been planted in Cai'er's heart.

The warmth emanating from this seed made her feel that life was worth living amidst the cruel cycle of trials, and it also made her look forward to the day when she could meet him again and repay his kindness.

"Cai'er."

After seeing Cai'er, Chu Zichen greeted her.

However, he immediately recalled that in the letter Cai'er had sent him some time ago, she had mentioned that her sense of taste, one of her six senses, had been restored, and her ability to speak had also been restored, but she had now lost her hearing.

So Cai'er probably couldn't hear what she was saying.

So Chu Zichen immediately stepped forward, took her soft, boneless hand, and wrote on her palm:
"Cai'er, I've come to find you."

Cai'er's small hands were as soft as tender tofu, with long, slender, and fair fingers, comparable to a beautifully carved jade.

"Ah."

Cai'er showed no resistance to Chu Zichen's intimate actions; instead, a slight smile appeared on her lips, forming a beautiful curve.

Although her voice carried an innate coldness, it revealed a warmth that seemed to melt away the ice when she was with Chu Zichen.

Seeing this, Lan Yanyu, who was standing to the side, also showed a hint of affection in her eyes.

To be honest, her relationship with Cai'er used to be extremely bad; Cai'er was even unwilling to acknowledge her as her mother.

However, ever since Cai'er met Chu Zichen, Chu Zichen has also helped to smooth out the mother-daughter relationship between them.

Over the course of two years, Lan Yanyu's relationship with Cai'er improved significantly, so she felt very grateful to Chu Zichen and treated him almost like her own son.

"Cardinal Ruoshui, thank you for your support and that of the Priest Temple."

Lan Yanyu quickly returned to the main topic and bowed to Ruoshui, who was leading the team.

In terms of cultivation and status, Ruoshui is far superior to her.

"No need to be so polite. The six holy temples are all in cahoots, it's what we should do. Let's not delay, let's go and support the Exorcism Pass immediately."

Ruoshui nodded slightly and immediately responded.

"it is good!"

Lan Yanyu nodded and immediately led the Ruoshui priest team to the top of the Exorcism Pass to help treat the wounded.

"Cai'er, let's talk slowly later."

Chu Zichen also gestured to Cai'er.

"Zichen, I'll go with you!"

Cai'er refused to leave and instead followed Chu Zichen closely.

……

On the city walls of Exorcism Pass, soldiers from various infantry battalions were desperately resisting the demon siege. Deafening shouts, screams, clangs, and the clashing of metal filled the air. Everywhere lay the corpses of demons and humans, the casualties exceptionally heavy.

"Holy Healing Technique!"

As soon as Ruoshui arrived, she unleashed a seventh-tier light magic spell, which immediately healed the wounded soldiers on the city wall and restored their condition quickly.

Other priests also cast healing spells, which, while not as effective as Weak Water, still saved the lives of many soldiers.

"Life Healing Spell!"

Just then, Chu Zichen casually waved his hand and completed a life-healing spell.

Unlike other light-based healing spells that emit golden light, the life healing spell he cast emitted a striking green light.

When the life-healing spell was cast on a severely wounded soldier, his injuries healed at a visible speed, with tissue and bone regeneration, and he was fully recovered in a short time.

"Such powerful healing magic!"

"They're both first-tier healing spells, so how come Zichen's healing spells are so powerful!"

"Yes, his first-tier healing spell feels even stronger than my third-tier great healing spell!"

The other pastors were also stunned when they saw this.

Cai'er, standing to the side, also looked at Chu Zichen with surprise, feeling that the healing spell he cast was radiating a rich life force, giving her a feeling as if she were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Life Healing Spell! Life Restoration Spell!"

Chu Zichen continuously unleashed healing and spirit-restoring spells upon the wounded soldiers of the Exorcism Pass, rapidly healing their injuries and quickly replenishing their depleted spiritual energy.

"Thank you so much, young man!!"

The soldiers, having recovered from their injuries and restored their spiritual power, expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Chu Zichen and, without hesitation, returned to the battlefield to fight bravely against the enemy.

No one knows where this boy, who looks to be only 10 years old, comes from, yet he possesses such outstanding priest skills.

With his support from the rear, the morale of the soldiers at the front was greatly boosted.

"Zichen, you're amazing!"

Cai'er was also pleasantly surprised.

However, perhaps Chu Zichen's outstanding performance also attracted the attention of the attacking demons.

"It's a Luke clan stealth fighter!"

Suddenly, a group of Luke stalkers appeared on the city wall.

The Luke stalkers resemble humans, are about 1.7 meters tall, are naked from the waist up, and have black scales covering their lower bodies.

What's most terrifying are their four spiked arms. While they aren't strong in direct combat, they excel at sneak attacks, making them as powerful as a second-tier human assassin.

While the soldiers at the front were fighting this group of Luke stalkers, they did not notice that several Luke stalkers had quietly circled around and were targeting Chu Zichen and the other priests behind them.

The demons aren't stupid either. They know that human professionals like mages, priests, and summoners are physically weak, so they often try to target them first.

"Zichen, watch out!"

Cai'er's keen senses had already detected that a Luke tribe stalker was approaching Chu Zichen, and she immediately prepared to take action.

She is now a Tier 3 assassin, and dealing with a Tier 2 Rookie stalker is a piece of cake for her.

"Skin ripping technique!"

To everyone's surprise, Chu Zichen acted even faster, and a spell struck the Luke clan stalker who was trying to ambush him first.
