"There are no other Bright Church assassins around."
Cao Xing pondered, "It seems that the people at the baron mansion are the entire force sent by the Bright Church."
He nodded and then said, "I understand, let’s return together now."
"Muxue, bring Fitz’s mother."
"Okay," Liu Muxue replied softly.
Soon, everyone stepped onto the backs of the griffins.
And this noblewoman, supported by Liu Muxue, also cautiously stepped up.
However, as soon as she got on the griffin’s back, her legs went soft, and she nervously straddled it.
Her plump legs draped over the griffin’s back, looking almost delicious.
Cao Xing glanced briefly and directly said, "Old Wang, take us back."
"Screech—"
The Griffin King beneath their feet heard the command and imdiately flapped its wings, soaring hundreds of ters into the sky.
The other griffins followed closely, all taking off into the sky.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
The whistling cold wind brushed past their ears, with the surrounding scenery rapidly receding!
At this mont, it was late night, and the world seed enveloped in darkness, as if it could be blown away by the gale at any ti.
For Fitz’s mother, riding a griffin for the first ti had already scared her pale.
Holding tightly to Liu Muxue’s armor, she dared not release her grip.
The rapidly slicing air streams in the high sky brought a piercing pain to her face!
However, this situation did not last long.
The griffins moved quickly.
A few minutes later, they all returned to the territory.
As the griffins slowly landed on the flooring of the territory’s buffer zone, everyone jumped down from them.
Liu Muxue extended a jade-white hand towards the noblewoman on the griffin’s back, saying.
"We’ve arrived, madam, please co down."
It wasn’t until then that the woman ca back to her senses.
Then she grasped Liu Muxue’s arm, carefully sliding down.
Cao Xing looked at the woman and asked, "By the way, what’s your na?"
She lifted her head and softly replied, "My na is Gracie, Gracie Walker..."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Gracie, for now, stay in the territory. We’ll arrange a room for you and provide daily food."
"Until I resolve that threat, you can stay at ease."
The woman bowed slightly, respectfully saying, "Thank you, my lord."
Then Liu Muxue took Gracie to arrange her room.
As for Cao Xing himself, he quickly returned to the Lord Castle to continue resting.
...
...
At the sa ti.
At the Bright Church Headquarters.
The Light Seed’s eyes flashed with anger.
He looked at the church mbers beside him, his voice icy cold.
"Calculate and see how many people we have left that can be dispatched, and imdiately head to Gale Snow Plain at the fastest speed to destroy Cao Xing’s territory!"
"I want to capture this guy and make him wish he were dead!"
Beside him, a Yellow Robed Bishop reported, "Child of Light, we currently don’t have many people that can be moved."
"The church’s main forces are placed at the borders, and combined with the old king’s suppression, the forces in the Ice Crystal Kingdom are becoming fewer."
"And as you ntioned, this Otherworldly Lord possesses at least four master-level strong people, and we don’t have enough bishops to deal with so many strong people."
Hearing this reply, the Light Seed’s expression turned grave.
"This Cao Xing... truly unexpected."
"Without realizing it, you’ve grown to such a level!"
"With at least four master-level battle powers, I must deploy one Yellow Robed Great Archbishop, plus two Red Robed Bishops, to surely take him down!"
"Yet all my forces are essentially used to combat the king’s armies at the border."
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, the Light Seed grew even more enraged!
Though the Bright Church is vast.
Its reach extends too widely.
To the point that he has no one available now.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, he said.
"Forget it, recently there’s no way to deal with Cao Xing."
"I’ll have to wait until the Light God Venerate wakes up, then ask if there’s any way."
"It’s been nearly a month since he’s been asleep; he should be waking soon."
At that thought, the Light Seed, holding the Holy Scripture, gradually returned to rationality.
...
...
The night’s world was enveloped by extre cold.
And on this evening.
A mysterious shadow erged suddenly from afar in the gallant Giant City from Cao Xing’s territory.
That shadow moved extrely fast, covering several kiloters in a mont.
A powerful aura stood on the shadow’s back, looking sowhat aged.
He gazed toward the direction of the border, muttering, "Based on the last clues, I roughly know the location of the Bright Church’s headquarters."
"Now, let’s go and confirm it."
With the words, the shadow beneath him flapped again, directly heading toward the border.
...
...
On the other side.
Outside the Ice Crystal Kingdom’s territory.
There is an extrely desolate region here.
For a thousand miles around, there is no trace of humans.
Yet in this desolate region, there is a mountain range covered with snow all year round.
In the mountains, a woman with eyes like cold stars and an icy expression was walking step by step.
Beside her, a griffin followed.
This woman was the Dragon Speaker.
After leaving Cao Xing’s territory a few days ago, she followed a vague sense and arrived here.
However, because of the extrely low temperature here, she found it difficult to endure even as a heroic-level powerhouse.
