Since the sky was covered, the heavens began to show their holiness

Zhou Xian's eyes were cold and firm, staring at the ground, sensing the spread of the wave. He knew that Rudy thought he could escape by hiding underground, but in front of him who had comprehended a little bit of the laws of the earth, this was just futile.

As the invisible waves spread, the underground space was also affected by this powerful force. Rudy, who had already escaped several thousand meters underground and thought he was safe, suddenly stopped. He felt an irresistible force like an invisible hand, tightly grasping his body, making him unable to move. Rudy's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his eyes were full of fear and despair. Then, a sharp pain came from his body, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced by this force. He had no time to react at all, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

Rudy's body was swaying on the ground, and his magic power was in chaos due to this sudden attack. "No... Impossible! He actually understood the law!"

He roared in his heart, full of resentment. He never thought that this young man could comprehend the laws of the earth and could cause harm to him through thousands of meters of soil.

At this moment, he was filled with fear, thinking only of how to get rid of this terrible power and escape Zhou Xian's control. But the invisible waves continued to erode his body, making his struggle seem so powerless.

"Come out."

Zhou Xian's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He stared at the ground and raised his hand and waved.

In an instant, the seemingly calm ground suddenly began to wriggle violently, as if a powerful force was surging underground. The soil kept rolling, and the ground was undulating like waves. The surrounding soil and rocks were squeezed and twisted, making a "cracking" sound.

But in a moment, the pale-faced Rudy was "spitted out" by the earth. He fell to the ground in a mess, his body covered with mud, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

Rudy tried to struggle to get up, but found himself exhausted and unable to move at all. His eyes were filled with fear and despair. He watched Zhou Xian walk towards him step by step, and endless regret surged in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he should not have acted so recklessly in Wushan Town, but now it was too late to say anything.

Zhou Xian looked coldly at Rudy lying on the ground, without a trace of pity in his eyes, "You must pay for the lives of those innocent people who died in Wushan Town today."

Seeing Zhou Xian's murderous eyes, Rudy's heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but cursed "madman" inwardly. His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to escape. He suddenly remembered that this was the territory of the Yulan Empire, and their location was not far from the imperial capital. You know, there is a god-level strongman like the high priest in the imperial capital, who is standing at the top of the continent and has a strong deterrent power.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Rudy's eyes, and he thought to himself, "Isn't this kid afraid of the high priest? Generally speaking, the strong men of the Holy Domain of other countries would never dare to act recklessly on the territory of another country. Once they do so, it is equivalent to a blatant provocation and will cause a conflict between the two countries. Doesn't he know the seriousness of this? Or is he fearless?"

Although he was full of doubts, Rudy still pretended to be calm. He struggled to raise his head, with a hint of unwillingness and threat in his eyes, and shouted at Zhou Xian: "Don't go too far! This is the Yulan Empire. If you dare to touch me, the high priest will not let you go! Do you want to provoke a war between the two countries?"

He hoped that these words would frighten Zhou Xian and make him let him go. "But I haven't entered the Holy Land yet."

Hearing this, Zhou Xian just smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning and confidence in his smile. He was naturally aware of the unspoken agreement between the Saint Domain strongmen, and understood what it meant to attack the Saint Domain at will in the territory of another country. But these were nothing to him. He had no feelings for the so-called Holy Alliance. In his heart, the glory and interests of those countries had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, even if he really killed Rudy, who would believe it? A Saint-level warrior would die at the hands of a ninth-level warrior. This sounded like a fantasy. Who could have thought that this seemingly young and immature boy actually possessed such powerful strength and terrifying magic.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian took a step forward, and the magic power around him surged again, "Rudy, your threats are useless to me. You must pay back the blood debt of Wushan Town today." There was determination in his eyes, and he was not affected by Rudy's words at all.

Rudy looked at Zhou Xian who was approaching step by step. The fear in his heart became more and more intense, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"High Priest! Why don't you take action?" Rudy was extremely anxious. He secretly prayed that the High Priest would suddenly appear and save him from the fire and water, while watching Zhou Xian approaching with caution. However, there was no movement around him except for the powerful magic fluctuations emanating from Zhou Xian and his own violent heartbeat.

His face became more and more ugly, and the hope in his heart was shattered bit by bit. Logically speaking, with the strength and perception of the high priest, he should have known everything that happened here. But until now, the high priest was still nowhere to be seen, and there was no sign of intervention. All of this showed Rudy a cruel fact: the high priest didn't want to care about their affairs at all.

Rudy was filled with despair, and couldn't help but recall what Zhou Xian had said before. Maybe it was really as he said, the other party had not entered the Holy Land so the high priest didn't want to care. Of course, there could be other reasons, such as there was someone behind this person that the high priest was afraid of.

But no matter what the reason was, it didn't matter to Rudy anymore. Now he was alone and helpless. Facing Zhou Xian's powerful strength, he had no ability to resist. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes empty, his heart full of regret and unwillingness, but it was too late.

Just as Rudy thought, at this moment, in the magnificent and solemn Temple of Life, the high priestess was sitting quietly on the throne, her eyes slightly closed, and a mysterious and powerful aura permeated her body. She had already known what was happening thousands of miles away with her god-level perception ability.

When she realized that Rudy was on the verge of life and death and facing the fatal threat of Zhou Xian, her heart moved slightly, and a divine power quietly gathered in her body, ready to intervene. However, just as she was about to take action, she seemed to notice something unusual. She suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of doubt and shock flashed in her eyes, and the condensed divine power quickly retracted into her body like a tide.

The high priest frowned, his eyes piercing through the space, looking in the direction of Zhou Xian, muttering to himself: "This aura... is it her?"
