Chapter 1698: Chapter 516: The Return of the Dragon God
Leonard Churchill and his companions crouched at the base of a tree, watching the two groups of people—one chasing the other.
Bonnie imdiately recognized that blonde-haired Princess Sofia, exclaiming, “Eh… look, isn’t that the woman captured by the Heavenly Dragon Saint before?”
Although their hair colors were different, having seen her before and been reminded, they all recognized her.
Upon closer inspection, there were about a dozen Cloaked Figures, and the pursuing party was nurous, probably amounting to several hundred.
Now that only masters were left alive, Leonard Churchill and his companions dared not act rashly.
As the group disappeared from view, Sam asked, “Boss, do we keep following them? Vice Chancellor Gustav from the Royal Academy isn’t there; this doesn’t seem to be Sun Sect’s main force…”
They needed to be sure they found the main force of the Sun Sect to have any hope of getting out alive, and this party did not look like it.
Sophia Jones listened and felt the sa, but she didn’t rush to a decision; instead, she glanced at Leonard Churchill and asked, “What do you think?”
Leonard Churchill was the team’s source of intelligence, and he knew the situation of the Three Great Sects better than anyone else.
“…”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill did not speak but fell into deep thought.
Although she knew Princess Sofia’s identity as the Saintess of the Sun Sect, and she had guessed there must be a special purpose for Holy Dragon Saint Chireesa to capture her personally…
But ti was running out for them now.
If they made the wrong judgnt, there might not be another chance to find another group.
Acting out of caution, Leonard Churchill’s gaze intently observed the two groups chasing each other through the fog, trying to analyze as much information as possible to support a decision.
However, coincidentally, while watching the Holy Church’s pursuit, Leonard Churchill spotted a blonde youth among the crowd.
Although the fellow was wearing a helt, Leonard Churchill recognized him at a glance—it was William, from the King’s Knight rcenary Group, who had pursued Sophia Jones before.
Upon seeing this person, Leonard Churchill imdiately made a decision: “We follow them!”
“Ah?”
Everyone didn’t understand why they suddenly sprang into action.
But without any hesitation, they followed Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones, stealthily keeping up.
If it was only for Princess Sofia, Leonard Churchill wouldn’t be so sure.
But now that there was a William in the group, many things seed almost certain.
Sophia Jones also understood instantly.
She rembered discussing this William with Leonard Churchill before, speculating that he might be an undercover agent of the Sun Sect.
If he was undercover, and still with the pursuing forces, it all looked like a deliberately orchestrated bait and chase.
…
This World of Tree Roots was unlike the outside, even with the Holy Church’s numbers and power, they pursued with extre caution.
Because this was the domain of the Undead monsters.
Therefore, both sides didn’t move very fast, allowing Leonard Churchill and his party to follow undetected.
The chase went on for about half an hour.
The forces of the Holy Church grew bigger and bigger, with at least seven or eight Knight Groups, nearly three hundred elites.
For Leonard Churchill and his team, this force was troubleso to witness.
Now, those who had survived were almost all Fifth Tier card masters and above, including Seventh and Eighth Rank leaders and Church Deacons; moreover, the Holy Dragon Corps, the direct force of the Pope of the Holy Church, had the best equipnt on the Southern Continent, each with several Relics.
In terms of combat power, this group could probably even surround and kill a Ninth Rank.
No one had ever been to the Netherworld Channel before, and with the forest-like tree roots, no one knew where it led to.
Watching as the people from the Sun Sect seed to be forced into a dead-end, a fight suddenly broke out again.
Leonard Churchill’s group didn’t dare to get too close and hung back from a distance.
Unable to see what was happening, everyone was very curious about the increasingly mysterious situation.
Bonnie also asked curiously, “Leonard Churchill, why would those guys lure so many others here? Could it be to divert pressure from the main force?”
Leonard Churchill shook his head, saying, “Likely for a Blood Sacrifice.”
“Ah?”
Without Leonard Churchill’s insight, the rest were sowhat baffled by his words.
Leonard Churchill, sensing the battle nearby growing more intense, narrowed his eyes slightly and said with profound aning: “If I’m not mistaken… they’re summoning the Golden Dragon God Marlodis…”
He was all too familiar with the Outer God Sect.
Humans were the best Material for Spirituality, perfect for sacrifices.
He estimated that sacrificing these few hundred elites could at least summon a Ninth Rank entity.
But the people of the Sun Sect didn’t need to summon any Ninth Rank entity; they only needed to guide the Dragon God in the right direction.
So seeing the scale of this sacrifice, Leonard Churchill had already figured out the outco.
The thinking was so far ahead that even Sophia Jones was surprised upon hearing it: “They’re going to summon the Dragon God?”
The Sun Sect and the Crimson Sect both had top-tier masters after all, and this didn’t seem like it should be the main force’s rabble.
“Yes, most likely.”
As thoughts raced through Leonard Churchill’s mind, he considered all the possibilities and felt an even stronger likelihood of this being the case, adding, “Be careful everyone, if anything out of the ordinary happens, we retreat imdiately.”
As he spoke, he also felt it strange.
After all, neither Old Bible from the Crimson Sect nor ‘Pursuer of Light’ Noah Wright were involved in any major Cause and Effort of this speculation.
This should not be.
And what about the Red Robed Archbishops of the Holy Church?
What about the Pope, what about the Great On Skill?
Dragon God Airel may not dare to co to the Death Domain, but it doesn’t an he wouldn’t do anything, right?
Otherwise, once the Golden Dragon God cos back to life, can the Southern Continent keep the peace?
