After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Cangqing City Central Cathedral.

The sunlight passed through the broken glass, refracting colorful rays of light, like a layer of gauze falling on the statue of the goddess.

The melodious sound flows slowly, and the atmosphere in the church is peaceful and calm.

The three of them knelt devoutly in front of the stone statue, muttering to themselves: "Goddess, please bless the adventurers of Baige City to return safely."

Since leaving the square, Viren, Kami and Mevent have come to the statue of the goddess to pray.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance and the ground shook violently.

"Lord Mevent, be careful!"

Viren's face changed.

The statue of the goddess cracked, the glass shattered, and the dust from the top of the head fell on Viren's hair.

Then, the ceiling dropped vertically, and the church collapsed in an instant like a set of disintegrating building blocks!

Vilen was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Mevent and then put his arm around Cami's waist. He used his thunderous fighting spirit to shatter the fallen rubble, then took a big step forward and rushed towards the church door.

"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?!"

"Where's the priest? Save me!"

"My legs are being pinned down!"

"Help."

There was chaos in the church. Many civilians were calling for help just a second ago, but in the next second they were silent and buried in the rubble.

Viren came outside with a grim face.

Mevent and Cami were still in shock, if Viren hadn't had star-level strength, they would all have been crushed to death by the boulder.

What exactly happened? What was the cause of the earthquake just now?

Cangqing City is a large metropolis with several Heavenly Ranks in charge. Even if a disaster occurs, it can be predicted in advance with magic arrays. The word "danger" should never appear in the capital of a province.

Now, the streets are full of people fleeing, shoulder to shoulder, and everyone's eyes are filled with fear and anxiety.

The crying of children pierced the eardrums, the screams of the injured, the shouting and cursing amid the shoving and shoving, and the shouts of the knights were like a splash of water drowned in the waves.

"President Viren, what's going on?" Mevent said in horror.

"I don't know either!" Weiren gritted his teeth, "You two must not leave my side!"

"Big news, big news." Kami licked his lips and excitedly took out the magic camera.

Accompanied by the sound of clicking, the scene of the crowd fleeing was recorded.

"Huh? What is that?"

The magic camera was raised and aimed at the north of the city wall.

A black flame tornado stretched between heaven and earth, with dark clouds covering the distance, lightning and thunder. The terrifying high temperature traveled through thousands of miles, swept across the Kada Mountains, and spread to Cangqing City.

Cami then realized that he was sweating a lot. It was almost autumn, and the afternoon was cool, but the temperature did not drop but rose instead, and it was as hot as a furnace. Cami had an illusion that spring, summer, autumn and winter were reversed.

While wondering, Kami heard the voice of the first princess Angelita.

There was a brief lull in the streets.

Many adventurers knelt on the ground helplessly.

Mevent's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Kami also forgot to take a picture of the black fire tornado.

She thought blankly, this news is too big, it is not her turn to report it.
The royal capital has fallen.

……

same moment.

In White Dove City, Minnie, the captain of the adventure team that defeated the evil dragon, happily walked out of the flower shop holding a pot of orchids.

She was humming a happy tune and her smile was as bright as a flower.

"We have finally been promoted to a sunrise-level adventure team. We need to decorate the villa nicely! Well, let's invite everyone to come over tomorrow!"

Just as Minnie was thinking about what to buy.

Boom!

The earthquake struck suddenly.

Buildings on both sides of the street collapsed, and the flower shop owner who smiled as he saw her off was buried under the earth and rocks.

Red blood flowed from the ruins and reached Minnie's feet.

"——I am Angelite, the first princess of the empire. Please come in."

The flowerpot in Minnie's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"The capital has fallen?"

……

In Hongtao City, three Iron-level captains are taking a hot spring bath to relieve the injuries left by the 15th level of the Great Secret Realm.

Ever since Red Heart City signed the humiliating agreement, its overall combat capability has plummeted.

They have become the rats crossing the street in the Great Secret Realm, and even the last-place people in Ao Xia City can bully them.

Fry, Qilina, and Timo sighed and soaked in the hot spring, using the medicinal powder inside to heal their bodies.

Suddenly, the expressions of the three people changed.

The princess's heavy announcement entered their heads.

"The royal capital has fallen?!"

The three of them screamed.

Nanyan City, Xuanfeng City, Far North Plains, Forest of Elves.
The secret continent fell into an unprecedented silence at this moment. Tens of thousands of cities were completely silent, and the barking of dogs and the chirping of birds disappeared without a trace.

"Who can tell me this is fake? How could the capital fall?"

"Linda."

“Wow, wow, wow!”

In a thousand-foot-high snow-capped mountain, the werewolf girl with long blue hair had a slightly changed expression.

"Miss, the Wolf King has issued an order that the Demon King's army has appeared in the southern part of the Far North Plain. Please start the ancestral inheritance immediately!"

The old grey wolf knelt on one knee with a determined look in his eyes.

"Don't scream, kid. Linda is not in the capital."

The hunchbacked old man was riding a griffin, holding a little girl with purple hair in his arms.

He looked at the bite marks on his arm and said helplessly.

"Wow! Reinforce! Reinforce!"

The little girl was delicate and pretty, with purple eyes that looked like natural gems. She stared in the direction of the royal capital with her teeth bared.

The old man was Angus, who was invited to White Pigeon City a few years ago to take Hebi away from Linda and become Hebi's teacher.

Reinforcement?

Angus' eyelids jumped when he heard Haibi's strange cry. The little guy was speaking in Avis language, which meant that if Linda was hurt, she would kill all the demons.

You are so arrogant.

The fallen angel who led the Demon King's army killed three legendary adventurers by himself!

Thanks to the three legends who sacrificed their lives, the residents of the royal capital were able to escape.

"Master Michele, Master Angelite."

Angus closed his eyes in pain.

The former is his family head and Miss Anna's adoptive father, while the latter is the princess who is very prestigious in the royal capital and the youngest legendary magic swordsman in the secret continent.

No one expected that the four dukes would betray collectively. Duke Blood Flame and Duke Mountain joined forces to remove the barrier, opened the gate, and let the Demon King's army enter the city. Duke Thunder attacked the treasure hall and took away a large amount of rare resources.

Lord Leng Yue left the royal capital and headed for Cang Qing City, apparently to cooperate with the demons to burn the Cang Qing Tree.

There has never been a collective rebellion by the four great dukes in history.

The barrier failed and the door opened.

The royal family responded hastily.

When Angus left the royal capital, a conservative estimate was that at least five legends had sacrificed their lives.

This number continues to increase.

The fallen angel leading the Demon King's army might have reached the limit of the legendary level, otherwise it would be impossible for him to kill three legends alone!

Haibi was not afraid of such a cruel and terrifying character and even wanted to kill him. Angus sighed. It was true that the country boy was not afraid of the succubus - the little boy had never seen the world.

"It's great that you have that intention! Don't worry, your father is not in the capital, he is fine. Hibi, you have to grow up quickly, otherwise you can't help your father."

"Pava, Pava!"

Haibi waved his little fist and said he wanted to become stronger.

Angus was very pleased: "I will definitely help you with all my strength. Let's go to the Elf Forest first, maybe we can meet your father."

"Wow! Wow!" Haibi was excited and pulled Angus' beard and shouted. When the capital fell, there were two safest places in the secret continent.

One of them is the Forest of Elves.

The second is the Arctic ice sheet.

There is a natural barrier in the Far North Plains [Broken Eagle Canyon]. One man can guard the pass against ten thousand men, and it has never failed in tens of thousands of years.

But the royal capital was closer to the Forest of Elf, and most of the people who escaped went to the Forest of Elf.

Linda's destination is also there.

only.
Cangqing City, above the northern city wall.

"Boss, what should we do? We are going to be killed by the abominable Leng Yuegong! I don't want to die, wuwuwu, boss, save me."

Taigo's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was fully exposed. He was so scared that he tucked his tail between his legs and trembled while pulling his ears with both hands.

On the other hand, Bai Luo, a little white cat, was calmly thinking about countermeasures.

Everyone said something to me.

Echo said, try digging a tunnel, maybe there is no barrier underground.

Isa proposed to gather space mages in the city and build a teleportation array.

Leah said to call all the Saint-level adventurers over and use their special moves together.

Every plan has a certain degree of feasibility.

But Linda frowned and did not join the discussion.

Can the barrier cast by the legendary adventurer really be broken so easily?

Digging the ground, teleporting array, breaking through by force. It feels like there is no hope.

Linda has one last card left in his hand.

I am level 69, and the transformed Dark Shadow is level 79.

Then, I will take one more step forward and break through to the Saint level.

After the transformation, can't the dark shadow reach the law level?

Condensing the core of the law, the normal attacks and skills of the Dark Shadow all contain 80% of true damage.

Plus the Law Colossus.

There is hope of breaking the barrier.

The question is how to make my normal self break through level 69 in the shortest time possible.

Linda opened the experience value bar and took a glance.

3450 million/1 million.

You need 1 million experience points to level up.

The accumulated mysterious points are only 3000 million, which cannot solve the urgent problem.

Linda thought, fortunately there is a second way.

Make offerings to the goddess statue.

In the battle at Luolong Mountain, Linda eliminated the demons that were burned to ashes and harvested more than 200 demon horns, including five heavenly horns.

By sacrificing these devil horns, the experience points rewarded by the goddess are enough for one to advance to the heavenly level.

but.
There are statues of the goddess only in the Secret Square and the hall of the Adventure Guild.

Linda had to go to the city center.

Bing Yuan is also there.

Time passes minute by minute.

A greater disaster may break out in Cangqing City at any time.

Linda clenched the Dark Shadow Experience Card in his hand.

It seems that I can only take a gamble.

"Everyone listen to me, I have a way to open the barrier."

Facing the surprised looks of Abner and the others, Linda said seriously: "But to implement my method, we must go to the goddess statue."

"Isn't this too dangerous? Isn't Lord Leng Yue a traitor? If you go over there, she will find you!" Leah said, "Let's use my method and gather all the adventurers above the Saint level in Cangqing City to attack the barrier together!"

"It's hopeless. No matter how many Saint Ranks there are, there will be no qualitative change."

The two were at loggerheads.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

There was still enough light in the afternoon, and the clouds were a brilliant red, but in just a short moment, the barrier above Cangqing City changed into a huge "starry sky dome".

Darkness descended upon the earth, and the magical street lights on the streets lit up.

People looked up in confusion and saw stars twinkling above the barrier and a round moon as big as a millstone in the middle.

Even the experienced adventurers had never seen such a big moon. It seemed to be right in front of them, within reach, and they could even see the potholes on it.

A vast and terrifying aura surged out from the moon.

A slender figure emerged from the full moon and slowly walked towards Cangqing City.

Suddenly, Linda's hair stood on end and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

"Boss!"

"Sir Captain."

Tagore and Monica hid behind him, each holding one of his thighs.

Bai Luo's face was solemn, and his cat ears were shaking uncontrollably.

Wendy stopped yawning and looked curiously at the full moon in the dark blue barrier.

"Witch, it's a witch!" Kafni scratched his head and said angrily, "What an evil aura, I have never seen anything like it!"

"What, witch?"

Linda was stunned.

As a divine being, Kafni's perception of witches is more acute than his own.

If a high-level witch deliberately concealed her aura, he might not be able to detect it.

But it's not right
Linda's heart was pounding.

This full moon.

Not Evelyn's "Moon"!
It was as if a silver bottle exploded in my brain and the blood in my body began to boil.

In an instant, Linda understood!

I'm afraid this is the truth!

As if to confirm his guess, the figures in the full moon gradually revealed their lineup.

The woman with silver armor and a spear, her hair as white as snow, walked towards the moon.

A pair of cold eyes seemed like ice, looking down at everyone in Cangqing City.

The woman wore a cross visor, a scarlet cloak, a silver-white spear like a moon, and a full moon totem on the left side of her chest.

Most adventurers are familiar with this image.

The silver-armored woman glanced in the direction of the secret square and said, "Sister, I'm here to pick you up."

Everyone in Cangqing City looked up in amazement, looking at the woman in silver armor.

Anger, resentment, and hysteria were running rampant in their hearts.

"Traitor! Shame on the Imperial Knights! How dare you return to Cangqing City?"

"Get out of the secret continent!"

"Lord Leng Yue will definitely kill you!"

The identity of the silver-armored woman is the "former" Grand Master of the Imperial Knights, the legendary adventurer [Crescent Knight] Taf!
The embodiment of the imperial law, the messenger of justice, the idol that countless knights fought for, but he openly betrayed the empire and joined the Demon King's Castle, becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It was like a fierce slap in everyone's face.

Crescent Knight's gaze swept across the crowd, as if he was scanning an ant.

"Poor creatures! You will be used as firewood to burn the Green Tree!"

Crescent Knight sneered and flew straight to the entrance of the Ice Abyss.

Amid the panic and shouting of the people, Linda remained calm.

He kept taking deep breaths to try to think rationally.

In a seemingly hopeless situation, there is actually a ray of light.

Two legends coming to destroy Cangqing City is completely an exaggeration and a waste of effort.

The purpose of Crescent Knight, probably as she said, was to take Evelyn away.

Linda's "light" is right here. (End of this chapter)
