Chapter 461 More money is needed
"Wait," Feng suddenly interrupted Diya loudly, and then said righteously: "Master Demon King actually wants me to kill Youla? Don't you know that she is my beloved relative, my sister? Lady Iris is Lady Iris's biological sister, you want me to kill my sister!"
Diya looked at Feng's excited expression and curled his lips in disdain, saying, "Of course I know that you are the reincarnation of the eleventh human being, Iris, but do you still care about morals and etiquette? I remember that in order to exchange a trick ring from me, you directly refined the souls of hundreds of people in your family, including your parents, brothers and sisters!"
"But Youla is like another me. Killing her is like killing myself. It's hard for me to do it..." Feng licked his lips, looked at Diya and said in a deep voice: "You have to pay more!"
Diya shook his head after hearing that, and took out three full-shaped purple meteorites from his arms, and then threw them directly to Feng, "Then Youla can add another jin. Now these three plus the purple meteorite in your hand make a total of two jins, which is considered as a deposit for you. I will give you one month to complete the task. If you fail to do so..."
"If it's overdue, I'll pay double the deposit!" Feng said confidently.
"Okay!" Diya nodded gently, and then his figure gradually became blurred as when he came, and finally turned into a pool of black shadow and merged into Feng's shadow. At the same time, a long voice came slowly, "I'll wait for your good news in Linquan Ancient City."
After Di Ya left, Feng studied the purple meteorite with great interest. Then he couldn't help but let out a long roar in excitement. This treasure was his best gain in these years. He was surprised by Di Ya's generosity.
"Goo-"
Feng's stomach suddenly complained. He glanced at the plump ghost fish on the grill beside him and frowned and sighed, "Diya is so stingy. If he wants to grill a fish, he should grill the whole fish. Who will eat just a little bit of it?"
After looking at it for a while, Feng found another roasted area on the ghost fish. It was roasted by Diya using the white flame that burned human souls. Feng rubbed his belly and sighed, then directly cut off the cooked meat with the wind blade.
"Forget it, human flesh is human flesh. It's not like I haven't eaten it before."
……
In the inner city of Campbell Territory, Cathedral of the Goddess of the Bright Moon, Central Auditorium.
Qi Xuan stood on the platform at a loss like a child who had made a serious mistake. From time to time, he secretly glanced at Bai Hao who was studying the statue carefully, praying that he could find some clues to prove that the cracks on the statue were not caused by his negligence.
Several priests under the platform looked at Qi Xuan coldly, as if they were looking at garbage. This was completely different from Qi Xuan who had just joined the sect for half a year. The priests of Jiaoyue had dedicated almost their entire lives to the sect and were extremely pious people. In their eyes, damaging the statue was absolutely an unforgivable sin.
Qi Xuan was really unlucky. The cracked statue was transported from the headquarters of the Bright Moon Church in Orleans. It was carved more than nine thousand years ago. The statue had stood diligently for nearly ten thousand years without being damaged. However, it was damaged when it was Qi Xuan's turn to manage the church. What was most fatal was that several priests witnessed it with their own eyes on the spot.
How small is the probability of this?
Qi Xuan's master, Archbishop Odom, has worshipped this statue for most of his life without any problems. The elusive Archbishop may not pass by Campbell Territory for several years. And this statue, even if the strongest orc soldier in Campbell's barracks smashes it with a hammer, there won't be a single scratch...
Qi Xuan didn't really believe in fate originally, but in just a few hours today, he had completely believed what it meant to "If God wants to kill me, I have to die."
It seemed that Qi Xuan's prayer had worked. Bai Hao suddenly shouted, "I found it. Although it is very subtle, there are indeed traces of the power of the bright moon flowing on the statue!"
Qi Xuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then hurriedly shouted to the head priest in front of him: "I, I said that this abnormal situation must be a revelation from Lady Orevia. She must have sensed something bad, so she used the shattering of the statue to warn the young master!"
Upon hearing this, Ovnet frowned and looked at Bai Hao. Only when he saw Bai Hao nodded slightly did he believe in the divine revelation. Like other high-ranking priests with devout faith, Ovnet was inexplicably convinced by all of Bai Hao's words, especially those related to Orivia.
Soon, the three chief priests came over and gave words of advice with worried looks on their faces.
"Lord Campbell, this must be a warning from Lord Orivia. Danger is coming. We should set off for Orleans without delay!"
"Yes, Orleans is protected by my sect's formation. It is much safer than Campbell County. Afterwards, I will use my sect's secret method to report this matter to the Saint, and then mobilize some guardians to come and protect Orleans."
"The crisis that made Lord Orivia warn by breaking the statue must be very serious. I think it is better to postpone the enrollment of Ornolan Advanced School for a while. Before the Saint returns, you should stay in the headquarters church..."
Bai Hao felt a little embarrassed listening to the three priest protectors' serious exhortations, but he could not find other words to refuse them. After all, it was indeed unlucky for the statue to suddenly shatter after praying. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was a sign of a great disaster.
Besides, Bai Hao knew that it was not convenient for his boss to come to the mortal world right now, and even decent communication was impossible. The brief order to rescue Finina in front of Tamia's execution ground last time was already the limit.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao became more convinced that he was about to get into bad luck, and subconsciously looked for Youla's location. After all, the only thing he could do now was to hold Youla's thighs tightly, so that at least he would not be affected by the unexpected disaster.
"Okay, I understand. Now let's go back and pack up. We will teleport to Orleans after dinner tonight." Bai Hao turned his head and looked at Xing Lili and instructed: "Later, help me tell Principal Fram about my delayed enrollment."
After saying that, Bai Hao couldn't help but look up at the shattered statue of the Goddess of the Moon not far away. Looking at the terrifying crack that extended from the forehead to the jaw, he muttered to himself, "I hope we are overthinking this."
However, just as Bai Hao finished his words, the statue of the Goddess of the Bright Moon suddenly made another disturbing shattering sound, and the cracks on it continued to spread downwards, from the jaw to the neck, and from the neck to the collarbone, and finally the crack stopped on the left chest.
Bai Hao subconsciously touched his left chest and discovered that the position of his fingertips was exactly the crescent birthmark where he stored his divine power. Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of uneasiness swept through Bai Hao's body.
