The Legend of the Demon Hunter

The lights in the corridor lit up again, making the entire corridor as bright as day. Xiao Zhu first looked at Xiaoya and Bai Hao beside him. When he saw that the two were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Who was the person who just suffered the murder?

Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly looked behind him and saw the short and fat red-robed bishop lying in a pool of blood. On his chest, there was a huge wound that cut his chest from the left shoulder to the waist. The red-robed bishop was already dead.

The red-robed bishop was now walking towards the three of them.

"Who are you?" Due to the strange behavior of the masked red-robed bishop killing each other, Xiao Zhu and the other two began to doubt his true identity, but they did not dare to let their guard down at this moment and still looked at him as if they were facing a great enemy.

The red-robed bishop casually pulled off his red robe, revealing a black robe underneath, and underneath the black robe was a fair and handsome face. When Xiao Zhu and Bai Hao saw this face, they were both overjoyed.

"Ah? Why is it you?"

"I haven't seen you for five years. How come you are here in Huanling Country?"

This person was none other than Zeng Xiaozhu and Bai Hao’s classmate at Nuowan College five years ago, and the former sixth person on the bloodline rankings, Ying.

Ying was not good at speaking, but he still briefly introduced his experience. Five years ago, after he graduated from Nowan College, because of his Shadow bloodline, he liked dark and cold environments, so he chose to come to Huanling Country to find opportunities for further breakthroughs.

But he was unlucky. As a high-level demon hunter at that time, he encountered a battle between the two major religions, Red Lotus and Shenxue. In order to protect himself, he was forced to join the Red Lotus. However, after years of education at Novan College, he had no loyalty to the Red Lotus, a demon cult like it. His core purpose was to seek self-improvement.

By chance, he successfully completed the fourth blood awakening and reached the realm of soul hunting. Because of his outstanding assassination ability, he was promoted to Red Robe Bishop by the Red Lotus Sect and was assigned to guard the Pope's Temple.

But I didn't expect that today I would meet Xiao Zhu and others who sneaked into the Holy Maiden City.

"Ying, since you have been in Saint Maiden City for a while, I want to ask you something. Recently, Saint Maiden City has suddenly tightened its restrictions. Except for the Red Lotus Cultists, no outsiders are allowed to enter Saint Maiden City. And I heard that there seems to be a rumor that Saint Maiden City is short of manpower. Do you know what happened?" Bai Hao asked the doubts that had been weighing on his mind for the past two days. This question also raised the doubts in Xiao Zhu and Xiao Ya's hearts, and the three of them looked at Ying.

"Well, your information is correct. The Holy Maiden City is almost an empty city now. The Pope has taken almost all of his core forces to the Blolan Snowfield in the north." Ying answered truthfully.

"Buluolan Snowfield!" Xiao Zhu realized that this place appeared many times in the murals of the origin of the Red Lotus Sect. It was the place where the Saint Jin Ling'er was born and where she founded the Red Lotus Sect. "Why did they go there?"

Ying shook his head: "I don't know. This operation is highly confidential. Apart from the people who participated in the operation, I'm afraid only the white-robed archbishop guarding the Saint City knows about it."

"The Archbishop in White... Is there still an Archbishop in White in the city today?" Xiao Zhu continued to ask.

"Well, there must be at least one white archbishop stationed in the Holy Maiden City at all times. This is the iron rule of the Holy Maiden City. This is also to protect the many core secrets of the Pope's Temple and the Red Lotus." Ying explained.

"So that's how it is. We have to be extra careful on this trip." Xiao Zhu said, touching his chin.

"Ying, do you know where this door behind you leads to?" Bai Hao suddenly pointed at the door behind Ying and asked.

"This is the Pope's residence." Ying replied.

"Ah?" Upon hearing the news, Bai Hao and Xiao Zhu were both shocked.

"Can we get in?" Bai Hao asked.

Ying shook his head and said, "I've just tried it. There is a powerful restriction on this door. I'm afraid only the Pope knows how to remove the restriction. With our strength, it's impossible to break the restriction by brute force or by trying."

"Pope, what kind of person is that?" Xiaoya asked curiously, biting her fingertips.

"The Pope...man...perhaps a more appropriate title should be 'God'...In the Red Lotus, from the white-robed archbishops to the gray-robed believers, all are full of admiration and awe for the current Pope, especially after he led them to victory in the war between the two religions." Ying's eyes were erratic.

"Have you ever met the Pope himself?" Xiao Zhu asked.

Ying was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the three people, then sighed and said, "Alas! To be honest, I have been a member of the Red Lotus Sect for more than two years. Although I have heard a lot of rumors about the Pope, I have never seen his true appearance. His whereabouts are very mysterious. Even the Archbishop in White has a hard time meeting him."

Xiao Zhu was about to continue asking questions when suddenly a buzzing sound was heard from Ying's waist. At the same time, the same buzzing sound was heard from the waist of the dead short and fat cardinal.

The moment Ying heard the sound, he suddenly became nervous. He took out a white hexagonal box from his waist, and it was this box that made the buzzing sound. Ying stretched out his arm and a similar white hexagonal box flew out from the waist of the dead cardinal, and was caught in his hand.

"What happened?" Bai Hao asked puzzledly when he saw Ying's expression.

"Oh no! It's the Red Lotus Calling Order. Only when the situation in the Holy Maiden City is extremely critical will the church issue an order to all believers above the yellow robe level, summoning all personnel to go to the city for support. I have joined the Red Lotus Church for more than two years and have only received the Red Lotus Calling Order once. That was the moment of the decisive battle between the Red Lotus Church and the Divine Snow Church! The sudden calling order today must be because something big has happened in the Holy Maiden City!" Ying explained hastily.

"Then what should we do next?" Xiao Zhu was at a loss for a moment.

"The first priority is to get you out of the city. If the white-robed archbishop shows up, coupled with many high-ranking believers gathering here, your identities will be easily exposed." Ying thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, let's get out of here as soon as possible!" Bai Hao replied.

"Then what should he do?" Xiao Zhu pointed at the corpse that had just been killed by Ying.

Bai Hao said lightly: "Leave it to me!" Then two rays of light, one yin and one yang, flew out from his sleeves and hovered above the corpse. The two rays of light entangled and rotated, forming two yin and yang fish that turned into a Tai Chi diagram.

The corpse on the ground was instantly absorbed into the Tai Chi diagram, and even the bloodstains on the wall were absorbed cleanly, and the white wall became spotless again.

Looking at Xiao Zhu and Ying's stunned expressions, Bai Hao explained: "One Qi becomes the Three Pure Ones, Tai Chi gives birth to all things. Similarly, the reverse performance can also absorb all things. This is the mystery of the Three Pure Ones bloodline."

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the entire Pope's Temple trembled. Xiao Zhu and others suddenly felt much colder. This coldness was not due to the drop in the surrounding temperature, but a tremor from the soul.

It seemed like there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling in my ears!

"Oh no, it's too late! We are trapped in the city." Ying said with great sorrow.
