The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"What are you doing here?" Just when Xiao Zhu and the other two were carefully observing the four statues, an angry shout suddenly came from the door of the Pope's Temple.

Xiao Zhu and the other two were startled and turned around reflexively to look towards the door, only to see a short and fat man in a red robe standing there.

The red bishop!

Suddenly beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao.

Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao were nervous not because they were afraid of each other. With their strength, if they joined forces, they would not be inferior to a red-robed bishop with soul hunting strength. But when they thought about their current situation, they were in the capital of the Red Lotus Sect and the most core Pope's Temple. Without knowing the strength of the other party, they were unwilling to conflict with anyone.

Who knows how many red-robed bishops, or even white-robed bishops, are hiding in this papal temple? Once those old monsters are alarmed, Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao will have trouble escaping even if they have wings.

Just as the three of them stood there in panic, not knowing what to do, the short and fat red-robed bishop suddenly shouted angrily, "Get out now!"

This sentence immediately brought Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao back to their senses. Although the other party's tone was cursing, Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. They then realized that they were wearing gray robes. It seemed that the red-robed bishop mistook them for low-level believers who had trespassed here without permission.

The Pope's Temple is a sacred place of the Red Lotus Sect. Only senior disciples with yellow robes or above have the right to enter and worship here. Low-level disciples are not qualified to enter. However, due to the great influence of Saint Jin Ling'er in the Red Lotus Sect, many fanatics will sneak into the Pope's Temple quietly, even at the risk of being punished, just to see Jin Ling'er's holy face. This happens frequently in the Red Lotus Sect.

That was why the red-robed bishop mistook the three people for fanatical low-level believers at first sight.

Since the other party had no intention of taking action, Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao were relieved. They pulled Xiao Ya and the three of them walked towards the door cautiously. They did not dare to look at the red-robed bishop, for fear that he would discover their true identities.

Just as the three of them passed by the red-robed bishop, the red-robed bishop suddenly realized something. He sniffed hard, then pointed at Bai Hao and said, "Stop!"

Hearing this, the three of them immediately realized that their identities were exposed. The reason for the exposure was most likely the aura emanating from Bai Hao. Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao had concealed their strength at the same time, but Xiao Zhu had the help of the Hidden Spirit Gu, but Bai Hao could only rely on the most ordinary breath-concealing technique, which was really difficult to hide from the keen perception of a soul hunter.

"Run!" How could Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao just surrender? Xiao Zhu picked up Xiao Ya, spread his wings behind him and rushed out the door, while Bai Hao also summoned the Tai Chi sword and instantly turned into a black and white light and rushed out.

Just as the three were about to rush out of the entrance of the Pope's Temple, a blue barrier suddenly rose up at the entrance of the temple, blocking the three people's way. The short and fat cardinal also showed a contemptuous smile on his face: "You little rascals, how dare you break into the Pope's Temple, you are simply courting death!"

Runes flowed on the surface of the barrier, like chains crisscrossing into a net. Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao clearly sensed the incredible power of the barrier. Even if the two of them joined forces, it would be difficult to break through in a short period of time. Their faces turned ugly in an instant.

What to do? Turn around and fight?

While the two were hesitating, Xiaoya suddenly pointed in a direction on the wall and said, "Look, there!"

Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao looked in the direction Xiaoya pointed, and saw that there was a secret door hidden on the side wall of the Pope's Temple. At this moment, as the barrier rose, the secret door slowly opened. If Xiaoya hadn't reminded them, they would have found it difficult to find it.

Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao looked at each other, and they made up their minds in an instant. They turned into a ray of light and rushed into the secret door.

The red-robed bishop never expected that the side door of the Pope's Temple would open when he activated the barrier. This situation had never happened before. But he knew very well what was hidden in the secret door. Seeing the three people rushing in like headless flies, he panicked instantly and shouted, "Stop!"

How could Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao care about the red-robed bishop behind them? They went into the secret door with a whoosh. Inside the secret door was a long circular staircase that seemed to lead directly to the top of the temple. Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao ran up the stairs.

The circular staircase seemed to circle the temple, and then a blank corridor appeared in front of the two. Xiao Zhu saw from afar that there was a door at the end of the corridor: "There!" Xiao Zhu pointed at the door.

With pursuers behind them, the three of them didn't have time to think and rushed towards the door at lightning speed. Behind them, the short and fat cardinal came late. When he saw the three people rushing towards the door, his face turned pale, and his expression was filled with both fear and anger.

"Stop!" the cardinal shouted behind them, but Xiao Zhu and the other two ignored it.

Just when the three were about to rush in front of the door, a red figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way. The man was wearing a cloak with only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Please stay, all three of you." said the red figure, his voice a little hoarse.

Another red-robed bishop!

Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao suddenly stopped and looked at the mysterious and tightly wrapped red-robed bishop in front of them. At the moment they paused, the short and fat red-robed bishop behind them also caught up.

"Stop them and don't let these people desecrate the holy place." said the short and fat man.

"Leave it to me!" The masked red-robed bishop answered confidently in his hoarse voice. After saying this, the masked man disappeared out of thin air. At the same time, all the lights illuminating the entire corridor went out, and the entire environment fell into a pitch-black night.

Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao's hearts suddenly tightened. They didn't know what magic the red-robed bishop had cast, but it was obvious that they were already in a trap and might lose their lives if they were not careful.

They dared not hide their strength anymore, but released all their spiritual power and used their perception to the extreme. When the vision was completely lost, only perception was reliable.

Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao took out their weapons, and the light from their weapons illuminated the surroundings a little, but they still did not see the masked man. At this moment, the two felt a strong killing intent approaching quickly along the ground.

"Be careful!" Two words came out from between Bai Hao's teeth.

"Ah——" A scream was heard, and blood splattered on the wall of the corridor. Then with a thud, a figure in the darkness fell heavily to the ground.
