[Ting] Tomorrow T1
It was at this dazzling moment that the Azure Moon Rampaging Dragon immediately unleashed his grand magical technique, fusing man and spear into one, transforming into the Dragon Spear that dominated the entire battlefield.
Meanwhile, that guy Guage’s spear was wreathed in Holy Flame, truly the nemesis of dark sorcery and heresy.
Wherever he passed, all the flesh of the impure bloodline would be scorched, burnt to ashes.
Just two moves, two rounds, and all the impure pureblood children were completely wiped out—not a single one survived.
“Dead 1.”
“Spirit Kill 1.”
“Down 1.”
Seeing this, the knights of the Zhao Dispatched Squad cheered loudly as they hurried over.
But Samimi showed no smile, only calmly observing everything before suddenly turning her head.
Everyone’s attention shifted to the nun’s reaction; when the Demon-Hunting Nun turned back, all followed suit.
“Mosquito Swarm 1.”
From the distant city wall came the cacophony of swarming mosquitoes, and a spreading madness of blood ghosts erupted wildly.
A blood river like a torrent flowed downwards, engulfing the entire small manor.
Luckily, the Azure Moon Rampaging Dragon and the Papal Left Hand had just managed to climb over the city wall, narrowly escaping being swept away by the blood river.
After all the water on the ground had dried up, the group descended from the city wall and swiftly made their way to the cliffside fortress.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Xishu Castle, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.
The city gate, seemingly fixed in space, had already opened automatically, revealing the magnificently decorated interior.
“According to Sister Wei’s final plan, once we transport the consciousness of the Queen of the Blood-Sucking Ghosts out of here, we can reinforce the seal, safely exit this dimension, and return to report to the humans,” the Papal Left Hand said.
After finishing, he strode confidently into Xishu Castle, only to immediately slam into a Mountain Magic Field, which distorted his mask.
One could say the Left Hand’s imposing aura instantly vanished, replaced by embarrassment.
The knights respectfully approached to investigate and discovered an Air Wall at the entrance.
Though the gate was open, it prevented anyone from entering.
“Master Jie Wen, what is going on? We cannot enter,” the Chief Judge Knight asked.
“The Queen of the Blood-Sucking Ghosts is said to be a noblewoman who bathes daily in the blood of maidens. Legend has it she murdered hundreds of innocent girls over decades, performing forbidden blood magic rituals in an attempt to preserve her youth eternally.
Indeed, she succeeded. Her immense power and will made her one of the bloodline progenitors. The blood flowing in her veins is uniquely cruel and savage, a gift from her own cursed heritage.
Therefore, only pure maidens may enter this castle, and only pure maidens can enact revenge on the Queen of the Blood-Sucking Ghosts,” Samimi slowly explained the mechanism and setup of the Crimson Court dungeon.
If we rely on our own intelligence, the vanguard team would likely need to return to the blood-stained manor to search for clues of cracks in the structure to analyze and confirm this conclusion.
By then, it would only delay us further and increase the risks.
But don’t worry, I, Samimi, will immediately tell everyone the method to break through.
“I see… maidens… huh?”
Everyone calmed after hearing the Demon-Hunting Nun’s explanation, each feeling somewhat relieved.
We do have a fair number of maidens in the vanguard, but losing two big names all at once is still a bit hard to swallow.
“Sister Nun, looks like we’ll be counting on you from here,” the Papal Left Hand said solemnly.
“Niubao, Qiqi Zhu, Ke Zhi Si, Chief, let’s move out,” Samimi checked the team roster.
“Wait! Sister Nun, I can help too,” the Roadside Female Gunner raised her hand to volunteer.
“I don’t doubt your ability, but my spells can only support five people at most, including myself. So I can’t bring too many inside—my gunners are the heavy artillery,” Samimi politely declined.
“Alright, I understand. Sorry, Sister Nun,” the Roadside Female Gunner’s cheeks flushed with disappointment, but she accepted the decision.
“It’s not your fault; it’s mine. If only I were stronger, I could bring everyone,” Kikimimi muttered quietly.
No one else present caught her subtle complaint, instead thinking the Demon-Hunting Nun was being overly modest.
“Wait, I’m a maiden too, I can go in,” Spirit Nancy also stepped forward, raising her hand to assure.
“Then you can try,” Samimi said, stepping aside to let Spirit Nancy approach the Air Wall.
As expected, Spirit Nancy pressed against the Air Wall but could not pass through.
“Why? I’m clearly an 87-year-old maiden!” Spirit Nancy protested, a bit flustered, puffing up with indignation.
“Sister Nun, Chief, we leave this to you,” the Papal Left Hand said.
“I know what to do. I won’t let anyone get hurt—everyone will return home safely,” Samimi nodded in agreement.
This made some of the team a little uneasy, having to rely entirely on the Demon-Hunting Nun for protection was a bit embarrassing.
But as the weakest member of the team, she could only lower her head and keep quiet.
The other three teammates called out also remained silent, their expressions firm and emanating a fierce aura.
In fact, except for the Ox Nun, the other two teammates’ faces were unseen, and they said nothing, basically blending into the team.
Samimi, with her sharp observational skills, wrapped in her usual cloak, carefully watched over the team’s emotions and thoughts, though what exactly she was thinking remained unknown.
No one doubted that the Ox Nun had some feelings—perhaps sympathy—towards her. Nor would they begrudge her for leaving the team.
Otherwise, why would she be called a “Sickly Maiden”? It was precisely because she did not resent herself for what she had done.
But emotionless, guiltless, and heartless as we may be, we could temporarily team up and cooperate—that was strange enough.
“Let’s move out,” Samimi led the way, stepping inside Xishu Castle.
Afterwards, the other four followed in, entering the castle.
They all managed to pass through the blood-red Air Wall, but as soon as they crossed, their figures disappeared from outside view, making those remaining very anxious.
For now, all the Zhao Dispatched Squad could do was pray for everyone’s safe return.
They had been through countless life-and-death ordeals together without a single injury; with the Demon-Hunting Nun protecting them, they were confident.
However, as soon as the new squad entered, Samimi quickly scanned the surroundings and immediately sensed something was wrong.
“Guys!”
She had waited a long time inside but hadn’t seen her four teammates appear.
“Wolves! It’s a Teleportation Array! We’ve been trapped!”
She had walked too far ahead and was separated by the teleportation. She had hoped to give everyone a secure rear guard but ended up trapping herself instead.
