Chapter 562 - 560: Can’t Handle Her, But Can’t Handle You?

If it weren’t for the Mage’s Hand, Hilia wouldn’t even have known that the opponent’s people had come around and left.

She didn’t feel a hint of danger, even with the danger sensing.

There’s only one possibility in this situation: the opponent didn’t have any killing intent.

"Could it be that they just came to confirm who has the item?"

Hilia muttered to herself.

After thinking it over, she told the bishop in the shadows about the Shadow Mage’s situation.

Soon, the bishop sent a message.

"The opponent might have discovered us."

Hilia: "Very likely, I’m planning to track them."

"Can you track them?"

"I’ll try, there’s no loss anyway. Sorry to trouble you, Bishop."

"It’s fine, I’ll have people keep an eye here. I’ll follow you secretly, and if I discover a Tier Five enemy, I’ll let you know immediately."

Hilia thought for a moment but didn’t send out ’what if a Tier Six mage is discovered’.

Originally, she didn’t have this thought, but after being reminded by the bishop, her head was full of worries.

Rose sensed Hilia’s thoughts and said irritably: "What are you afraid of, it’s just Tier Six, not the limit-breaking Tier Seven. Can’t you run if you can’t fight?"

The problem is outrunning them...

All right, Lord Rose can outrun them.

Hilia threw her worries behind her, sat on the Flying Broom, and leisurely followed.

Hilia was in no hurry; as long as she sensed the opponent hadn’t stopped, it meant they hadn’t reached their destination.

As for where the opponent was going, Hilia was quite curious.

Judging by their route, it seemed to be... Dusk Town?

"Could it be that those in Dusk Town who believe in unknown Gods are actually the Dusk Sect?" Hilia pondered.

Just then, Rose’s voice appeared in her mind.

"No need to track them."

"Huh? Why?" Hilia was taken aback.

"During the journey, they sent a message to others," Rose said coolly.

"What... so cautious?"

Hilia was shocked.

The heretics she’d encountered before only disclosed information after returning to their base.

Yet this Shadow Mage revealed the message on the way back to the hidden target.

"No, even if they informed in advance, we could still keep tracking." Hilia replied.

"No need, because there’s something more important now," Rose said.

"What?"

"After the message went out, something interesting has appeared in Dawn City."

"Huh?"

Hilia blinked and turned to fly towards Dawn City.

...

Somewhere in Dawn City.

"What? The girl with the divine object is that girl?"

The two surviving Tier Five cultists at the Twilight Tomb base received the news and were shocked.

Since last August, all high-ranked cultists of the Dusk Sect, those above Tier Four, received an order to pay attention to a girl.

Everyone memorized the image of this girl.

They didn’t know what was unusual about this girl, only that the two highest-ranking Deadpool members issued treatment orders. If they encountered this girl, and their ranks weren’t too different, they needed to pretend to threaten, then let her go unnoticed, either being defeated and running away, or being suddenly ’summoned’ to spare her life.

Ideally, they could give her something to accelerate her growth.

As for why, the two Tier Five cultists didn’t know either.

The two Deadpool members kept everything mysterious and said nothing.

They didn’t take it seriously initially.

But now they’ve encountered...

The two looked at each other, and one said: "What now?"

The other thought for a moment, "Although we suspect this girl has deep ties with the higher-ups, she’s a Holy Court person, and the divine object is very important, let’s better seek instructions."

...

Elf Forest, Recovery Temple.

"How could it be her?"

Ze Lishalin frowned and carefully read the message.

At that moment, You Jelieya’s shadow appeared before her.

"Did you get it too?"

"Yes."

You Jelieya tapped her head, "What do you think?"

Ze Lishalin thought for a while: "According to our usual practice, we should let her keep it for now, and when that gentleman has taken her, we can then ask the gentleman for it."

"Tch, that’s true, the revival of the Gods is more important. Fine, I’ll head back then."

"Yes, come back, no need to go. Avoid alerting the Holy Master’s Holy Court, you don’t have a revival opportunity right now."

"Okay."

"But, we can’t just let it be; the girl can’t be moved, but we can do something else..."

"That’s what I think too." You Jelieya snorted, "Can’t deal with her, can’t we deal with Dawn City?"

...

Bois was in the castle’s administrative hall, handling the various affairs of Dawn City.

The heretic attack earlier had passed, and Dawn City returned to its usual peace.

After signing a commercial proposal, Bois shook his hand and thought about the matter the Holy Court Saintess entrusted him with.

He couldn’t help but shake his head.

"It’s too unfounded. If they could provide some evidence, maybe I’d help."

He knew Hilia must have found something from the underground base, but due to the bishop’s presence and her identity, he couldn’t ask.

This time Hilia sought his help, so he made indirect inquiries, trying to find out what Hilia obtained, that is, the ’evidence’.

"Who knows what she found to make the usually cowardly Dusk Sect create such a stir in Dawn City."

Bois shook his head, feeling a little regret.

If Hilia chose to deal with the Dusk Sect’s second attempt within Dawn City, he would’ve had reason to ask her to present what the Dusk Sect was after.

"But since she went out, it won’t affect the city."

Thinking of that, Bois prepared to continue with the paperwork.

Just then, a servant hurriedly ran in.

"Lord City Lord, something bad has happened!"

Bois frowned: "What’s got you in such a panic? Where’s your composure?"

The servant said nervously, "It’s, it’s the castle’s storage that’s in trouble."

"What trouble?" Bois’s eyes sharpened.

"Someone unknown burned the storage!"

"What?"

Bois slammed the table and rose, his Tier Five aura bursting out, pressing the servant to kneel.

Bois restrained his aura, flashed his figure, and quickly headed towards the storage.

Soon, he reached the castle storage, seeing the Water Mage extinguishing the warehouse fire, his eyes flashed coldly and he charged into the fire.

Moments later, the fire was extinguished, and he emerged from the storage, his expression uncertain.

Inside were some remnants of magic fluctuations.

Those fluctuations were very familiar to him, exactly from those two cultists who fled multiple times!

"Damned Dusk Sect!"
