The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"So that's how it is! What will happen after we collect these five holy artifacts?" Xiao Zhu looked at Changyu Jinnian in surprise.

"I don't know. I'm afraid no one knows." Changyu Jinnian shook his head: "Back then, Jin Ling'er tried her best, but with her strength, she still couldn't find all five holy artifacts, so the matter of the five holy artifacts has become a mystery."

"Then, Senior Pope, do you want Xia Shi and I to help you find these five holy artifacts?" Xiao Zhu finally understood what Changyu Jinnian meant.

“Yes, the news about the five holy artifacts has leaked out, and there may be more than one group of people looking for them. You two have the same bloodline attributes as those legendary figures in history. Although your current strength is still weak, I believe that when you reach the realm of Hunter King, you will be the most powerful contenders for the five holy artifacts.” Changyu Jinnian spoke his true feelings.

Out of the kindness shown to them by the Shenxue Sect, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi agreed to Changyu Jinnian's request.

"Senior Pope, we agree to help you find these five holy artifacts. But the news we heard today is too shocking, and we still need to digest it. Do you know any clues about these five holy artifacts?"

Changyu Jinnian looked at the first two holy artifacts one by one and introduced them one by one: "The first holy artifact, the Soul Gathering Ring, has been owned by our sect for many years, but it was stolen three years ago. We have been investigating this matter all these years, but unfortunately there is still no news."

Then Changyu Jinnian pointed to the second holy weapon, which was a cross made of a knife and a sword. He said, "The second holy weapon is called Yuanwu. It has belonged to the Red Lotus Cult since it was obtained by Jin Ling'er. However, I got news that a group of people suddenly broke into the Red Lotus Cult's Pope's Temple some time ago and stole the holy weapon. As for the origin of this group of people, after asking around, I seem to have come from the Rhine Empire in the south."

"Yuanwu! Rhine Empire!" Xiao Zhu couldn't help but be shocked. During the chaos created by him, Yu Han, Bai Hao, Tingyu and others in the Holy Maiden City a few days ago, he clearly remembered that Bai Hao and Tingyu took away a jade box. Could it be that the jade box contained Yuanwu, one of the five sacred artifacts?

So, the whereabouts of this first holy weapon has been discovered!

Changyu Jinnian took Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi to continue looking back. The third holy artifact was an hourglass, and the fourth holy artifact was a new branch. When Xiao Zhu saw the fifth holy artifact, the corner of his eye twitched and he could hardly believe his eyes.

Because this fifth holy weapon is in his hands right now!

It was a round plate as white as jade, with a six-pointed star embedded in the middle.

When he first saw the beast king "Teng Snake" at Swan Lake at Novan College, he picked up this disc on the shore, named it the White Jade Disc, and kept it with him. However, the White Jade Disc in his hand was different from the model shown here, lacking the hexagram in the middle. However, the White Jade Disc in his hand had six more holes at the apex of the missing hexagram, and it was obvious that the hexagram had been removed.

The white jade plate had saved his life when he was in danger. Xiao Zhu had always been curious about the origin and purpose of this magic weapon. He never expected that it was one of the legendary holy artifacts.

"This fifth holy artifact is called the Star Plate." Changyu Jinnian noticed Xiao Zhu's gaze and explained.

Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment, because he was not sure whether the white jade plate was the star plate, so he did not take it out immediately.

He needed to further verify the matter and understand why the hexagram on the star disk disappeared. The white jade disk without the hexagram was like an ordinary jade stone without any spiritual power, and Xiao Zhu didn't know how to use it.

Changyu Jinnian did not notice the abnormality in Xiao Zhu's expression. After viewing the five holy vessels, he continued, "The History Museum is strictly prohibited for outsiders to enter. Although I am the Pope, I am breaking the rules by bringing you here today. Don't tell anyone else about this today. Let's leave as soon as possible!"

"Understood." Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi nodded, and the three of them left the place through the teleportation array.

"Although finding the five holy artifacts is of great importance, there is no need to rush. You can leave the Shenxue Sect after today. As for how to arrange things next, it is entirely up to you. If you pay more attention to this matter in the future, you will help me a lot." Changyu Jinnian said politely.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi had a good impression of Changyu Jinnian. Not only did the Pope of the Shenxue Religion do them a favor, but he was also gentle and approachable. He didn't look like a Pope of a major religion at all, but more like an amiable brother.

"Thank you, Senior Pope. We will definitely keep the matter of the five holy artifacts in mind." Xiao Zhu said sincerely.

Changyu Jinnian smiled and answered readily, "Okay!"

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were about to say goodbye when Chang Yu Jinnian suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, before you leave, I suggest you go to a place."

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi stopped in confusion.

"There is a quiet valley on the edge of the Tianshan Mountains about two hundred miles northwest of here. Jin Ling'er had been there before she went south for exploration, and seemed to have taken something away from there. Later, I also went there to explore, but found nothing. You two have deep roots in the Red Lotus Sect, so maybe you can go there and take a look, maybe you can find something." Changyu Jinnian suggested.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu became curious and said to Changyu Jinnian, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Pope. I will go there tomorrow to find out what's going on."

……

The Brolan Snowfield, where the Candle Dragon is sealed.

The two forces that destroyed Zhulong and Ning Zhiwan were too powerful. They completely razed the volcanoes in the area to the ground and dyed the snow all over the ground blood red.

But the heavy snow in the Blolan Snowfield never stops all year round. With a heavy snowfall that lasted for several days, everything here was covered with thick snow again, as if smoothing out the scars of the Blolan Snowfield.

Time eventually smooths everything out.

That day, a gray-robed man suddenly landed on the snowy plain of Buluolan. He looked around for a moment and confirmed that there was no one around. Then he took out a jade box from his arms. He opened the jade box carefully and saw two palm-sized brown ants crawling out of the jade box.

These two ants look quite strange. Their heads are almost half the size of their bodies, and on the top of their heads, there are two antennae that are longer than their bodies.

After the two ants landed on the ground, they dragged their long antennae and crawled in different directions, as if looking for something.

Not long after, one of the ants stood still and sent a signal that there was something wrong with the ground beneath its feet.

Seeing this, the gray-robed man appeared next to the ant in a flash. He first put the two ants back into the jade box, then took out three flags from the storage bracelet, threw them out casually, and stuck them into the snow in three directions around him.

After doing all this, the man in gray robe began to cast a spell. He stretched out two fingers and pointed them at the ground. A strong wind blew out from his fingertips, blowing the snow on the ground around.

The first thing that was blown away was the white surface snow, followed by the deep red snow.

A snow pit appeared on the ground. In the center of the pit, there was a fist-sized bead shining brightly, and there seemed to be a flame burning inside the bead.

"Candle Dragon Crystal Core..." The gray-robed man showed an ecstatic look on his face.
