Passengers were screaming . Everyone ran away in fear to somewhere safe . Some were hiding and peeking out from behind obstacles . But not everyone was a curious bunny, sticking out the neck for no good reason . Those people just left .
The airport security was running in their direction with guns drawn in their hands .
When Whalerudder saw the white armored man, she knew she could not run away anymore . Had she not seen the battle between him and Bluetail, she might want to fight back . But now, she raised her hands and said, “We surrender . ”
Her reaction startled Lin Sheng, who was about to snap the necks of the two persons in his hands . He had seen many cowards, but her cowardness was at another level . She had surrendered before he had even done anything .
Lin Sheng concealed himself with dark energy earlier while he came . It was to attract as little attention as possible while finishing the battle as quickly as he could . He would overpower the three when they were low on guard . And things went according to plan .
He had apprehended Madram and Blacklion . That left one more to deal with . But finding his ‘old friend’ Whalerudder here was a surprise . The last time they met, Whalerudder was beating him black and blue . She had brought down the walls on many floors .
“Surrender?” Lin Sheng grinned . “Very well . Then everything should belong to me . Where is the soul vessel?”
Without saying a word, Whalerudder took out the great soul vessel and tossed it to Lin Sheng . No point having the soul vessel if that meant she would lose her life .
Lin Sheng caught the metal box, flicked the switch, and the lid popped open . Inside was a white object that looked like a crystal walnut . It emitted thin waves of soul power .
“That’s a lot of soul power!” Lin Sheng was delighted to get his hands on this thing . He had gone so far as to kill a powerful Six-winger to get it . A Six-winger may have only been an annoying bug to the Night Lord, but it was at Lin Sheng’s limit, representing all his strength .
“Since you surrender, then let’s go!” Lin Sheng smiled at Whalerudder . He moved to the back of her like a bolt of lightning and struck the back of her head .
Whalerudder felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, and the world started to spin around her . Then, she lost consciousness .
“Err, I think I’ve cracked her skull . ” Whalerudder heard Lin Sheng say that before she passed out entirely .
Dimpera, the second largest city of Xylond .
A Ferris wheel-styled hotel with capsule rooms hanging from its rim was slowly rotating on its axis . In one of the suite, three mysterious figures, wearing a white robe with the pattern of a spiky sun stood in the middle of the room, staring at the five men standing opposite them .
All five men wore leather suits and shoes . The leading figure wore a pair of brown glasses and held a stack of documents in his hands, looking grave .
“The infiltration of Sevenlocks Tower and the outbreak of ‘black fluid’ have intensified . Compared with other regions of the world, Xylond is the hardest-hit . So, the purpose of inviting you all here is hope you all could stop the spread of the ‘black fluid’ . ”
The leading figure a white robe nodded . “It’s our honor . This is what the temple is for . ”
“I appreciate it,” the man in glasses said . “The commander-in-chief of the TSSF has set off to intercept the heads of the major cult groups invading the border . I wonder if the temple…”
The man in the white robe looked up, revealing his handsome and young face . It was Adolf, Lin Sheng’s disciple . “The lord has dispatched a group of clergymen to the rendezvous to conduct ‘black fluid’ screening . The Assembly shouldn’t be worried . Xylond is also our homeland,” Adolph answered .
“That will be great . Now with the reemergence of the Sevenlocks Tower, the three secret realms are ready for war, and the other areas are feckless . We are on our own . ”
“That’s right,” Adolf replied .
The sanctum had grown in confidence after the impartment of dark-energy and holy power cultivation techniques throughout the sanctum .
Led by Khadula, the Night Lord and the Steel Lord, the power of influence of the Sanctum had increased .
Forget about dark energy, the holy power was the real deal . With the aid of the holy power font, the three commanders got a big jump in their strengths .
The strength of the holy power was not only in healing but also in the explosive growth and inherent exclusivity to other energies .
The three commanders and the hundreds of qualified priests below them had benefitted from the holy power font and grown stronger in their strengths .
And the Sanctum had risen in influence because of its warm relationship with the government of Xylond .
A special existence like the Sanctum of Shadow was more inclined to killing and supervision . This was a cost-effective deal for the government of Xylond, which lacked the low- to medium-level supernatural powers .
However, in other regions, the three secret realms have sent many elites to the unknown areas . They wanted to focus their strengths on building up their core positions .
In the basement, the earth was glowing in a faint white light in the dark . The thin particles of holy power were increasing the concentration of holy power in the basement .
Whalerudder, Blacklion, and Madram were bound by white chains in the isolation room . They were dispirited . The holy power had suppressed their dark energy . They could neither use their power beyond their bodies nor fire up their internal energy .
“Now what? Just wait for our final day without putting up a fight?” Madram was a little emotional . The other two knew why Madram was afraid; he had been beaten the most before this .
“What can we do? This white power is too repulsive . It has restricted at least half of my strength . ” Blacklion sighed . “Not to mention that person is still here . If we fight back…”
“Let’s just wait and see . Since that person didn’t kill us right away, it means that we are still useful to him,” Whalerudder said . “Besides, the elders must have found out that we are trapped . ”
“And then? They would come to rescue us? They can’t even find us . ” Depressed, Madram ran his fingers through his hair . They looked at a corner of the basement .
In the corner of the one-way mirror in the room was a small window, through which they could communicate with the people outside .
“We don’t even know when that person will remember us,” Whalerudder said .
Just then, they felt a tremor coming from outside the holding cell .
“What’s going on? Earthquake?” Blacklion asked . They got up and went to the window . They heard a hissing sound . A dazzling white light shone through the window followed by deep breathing, rumbling noise, and tremors .
They had to stop and cover their eyes with their hands to protect themselves from the blinding light .
