Chapter 33 Accusation! The Spy Sent by the Demon Emperor

"Bishop Ruoshui, are the children all alright?"

Nalan Shu, the temple master of the Knights Temple, looked at Li Xin with heartache in his eyes, his tone full of worry.

"It's alright. The children just can't withstand the spiritual power of the Moon Demon God's projection. They should wake up in a little while."

Compared to Nalan Shu of the Knights' Temple, Ruoshui was more concerned about whether Bai Ling, the Holy Maiden of Light of their Priests' Temple, had been marked with the mark of the demon race by the Moon Demon God Agares.

"Holy Light."

The two soft words were uttered from Ruoshui's mouth, and platinum light burst forth from her palm, splitting into three that floated above Bai Ling and the others.

The light transformed into smoke and entered Bai Ling's body, wandering and surveying within them.

Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the Moon Demon God Agares had left a mark on everyone's bodies.

The luminous spiritual energy wandering through Bai Ling's meridians transforms into the sweet dew that the body craves, replenishing the spiritual energy they have lost on their journey.

Bai Ling moved her fingers, and her eyelids trembled as well.

Saint Moon, who was standing nearby, was delighted and said, "Ruoshui, your Holy Light Technique has improved a lot."

Ruoshui was being modest, even though her eyes were full of joy and pride.

But she didn't forget who it was that gave her Holy Light spell an upgrade in such a short time.

"Thanks to the Holy Light of our pastor's temple, I have been able to go further and further on the path of faith in light and life."

Saint Moon's eyes suddenly turned puzzled. "So what if your Priest Temple has gained a Holy Maiden of Light? In such a short time, how could she give your Holy Light spell such a significant boost?"

The Weak Water is a vital bishop for the priests' temple.

At the same time, she also has a special relationship with the elemental-favored, rare elf race of the Holy Demon Continent.

As a veteran temple master of the Assassin's Temple, Saint Moon was skeptical that Ruoshui, who was already quite old and had a wealth of practical and theoretical experience, could learn anything from the new Holy Maiden of Light.

"You don't believe me, sir?"

Ruoshui glanced at Shengyue indifferently, then turned her gaze to Bai Ling, who was slowly waking up.

"Holy Maiden, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to give you a full examination?"

Bai Ling stretched and stood up. She asked with concern, "Thank you, Bishop Ruoshui. I'm fine. But are Lin Xin and Sister Li Xin alright?"

Ruoshui gently patted the dust off Bai Ling and patiently explained, "Soon, they should all be awake by now."

The priestess of the temple had perfect timing; less than a minute after she finished speaking, Li Xin and Lin Xin groaned almost simultaneously and opened their eyes in confusion.

Nalan Shu from the Knights' Temple rushed over, pulled Li Xin up, and said with concern, "You're finally awake! Waaah, if anything had happened to you, how could I have explained it to them!"

As he spoke, Nalan Shu put on a show of suffering.

Even though Li Xin was perfectly fine, he made it seem like she had a major battle with the Moon Demon God Agares, was seriously injured, and had only just woken up.

Bai Ling's lips twitched slightly. She realized what Nalan Shu's shameless performance was all about.

He clearly wanted to use this as an excuse to take advantage of the situation and then, once he returned to Bright Moon City, he could take a big bite out of the Bounty Hunter Guild.

After all, who would have thought that a mid-level quest involving harvesting moon lotuses from the territory of a third-tier demonic wolf would be so easy...

In the end, he was forced to confront the projection of Agares, the second-ranked of the seventy-two demon god pillars of the demon race.
If Nalan Shu is smart enough, he will immediately demand an explanation from the guild upon returning.

The Bounty Hunters Guild, having nearly caused a major disaster due to a momentary lapse in judgment, will certainly choose to settle the matter privately with everyone and promise to pay a considerable hush money.

Thus, Nalan Shu's goal was achieved. Li Xin no longer needed to go out to take on missions from time to time, and could concentrate on practicing the skills of the Punishing Knight, striving to break through to the second tier as soon as possible.

Once Bai Ling understood this, she winked at Li Xin, who was completely bewildered, and mouthed something.

"Don't argue, just watch my performance."

Li Xin shut her mouth and closed her eyes, patting Nalan Shu's fat back resignedly.

As expected, the three people who had been silent nearby, including Seizuki, did not feel any discomfort after waking up.

He frowned and, in front of everyone, unleashed the Assassin's Temple's unique domain technique.

When Ruoshui and Lin Jing, who were chatting nearby about how to report the incident to the temple, were taken aback.

They subconsciously used different spiritual energies to form a natural barrier, and before anyone could react, they merged into the Assassin's Temple's domain.

Upon entering the domain, Ruoshui frowned, noticing that it had blocked out external sounds and spiritual energy.

She looked at the suddenly crazed Saint Moon and said with displeasure, "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

On the other side, Lin Jing smoothly cast a fire-type shield to protect everyone.

To prevent them from suffering secondary harm shortly after waking up.

"Sir, on behalf of the president of the Magic Temple Association, I would also like to ask you why you suddenly attacked them."

Li Xin and Lin Xin stood there, too frightened to speak.

The moment the domain enveloped them, they almost thought they were going to die.

Bai Ling also realized the seriousness of the situation and frantically tried to figure out if something had gone wrong.

Before the Holy Moon arrived, she had already deactivated her Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon form and placed the heart of the Moon Demon God Agares into the ring, completely preventing the leakage of the Demon God Pillar's original aura.

In addition, the Moon Demon God was standing right next to her, and even touched her cheek with his hand.

Moreover, the demonic aura emanating from the rebellious dragon circling in the sky was enough to mix with her own scent.

Saint Moon couldn't possibly detect her bloodline; something's wrong!
Seeing them barge in and bring out the temple behind them as a shield, Sheng Yue's solemn gaze swept over Bai Ling, Lin Xin, and Li Xin once again.

Seeing Bai Ling's calm expression, Sheng Yue sensed that something was amiss and finally discovered the problem.

From beginning to end, she didn't behave like an eight-year-old child.

Among her peers, Bai Ling appeared remarkably composed; she was so composed that she didn't seem like a minor.

Even after living for so long, Saint Moon had never seen such a precocious genius.

Although he admitted that some geniuses in the various temples had indeed acted aloof and sensible in recent years.

But they still retain a childlike innocence, just like Cai'er, whom he cherishes dearly...

Thinking of this, two short swords appeared out of thin air in Saint Moon's hand.

This is an old fellow who has fought alongside him on the battlefield for many years. The number of demons, and even demon gods, who have died at its hands is too many to count.

A hint of doubt flashed in his aged, but not cloudy, eyes.

Saint Moon, sword in hand, pointed at Bai Ling and said coldly, "I suspect this woman is a member of the Demon Clan, a spy deliberately sent by Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu to infiltrate the Alliance!"
