He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 369 The Out-of-Control Crystal Saint (First Update)

"That was close! That was close!"

On the Great Glacier of East Siberia, beside the glacier where Li Chuan was carrying his Saint Cloth, Li Chuan suddenly appeared out of thin air with Marin and Seiya.

"What's wrong with you all?"

Hyoga looked at the unconscious Marin, the still-shaken Seiya, and the relieved Li Chuan, and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

Li Chuan calmed himself down and smiled:

"There was a bit of an accident. We encountered a Gold Saint. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been left in the Sanctuary."

He originally thought that sneaking in this time wouldn't be a big problem, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky and actually run into Aiolos.

According to Carrot's memory, he had spent more than ten years in the Sanctuary but had never seen a Gold Saint.

If I encountered him outside the Holy Land, I wouldn't be afraid at all. With his strength, I might not be able to beat him in a fight, but I could definitely escape.

However, the Sanctuary has a barrier, and there is more than one Gold Saint, so this operation is quite dangerous for him.

However, this was the first time he had truly witnessed the light-speed punch of a Gold Saint, and he had a better understanding of the situation.

After briefly recounting what had just happened in the Sanctuary, and rescuing Marin, explaining the whole story to her, the four of them headed towards the village on the glacier ahead.

It turns out that Li Chuan and Seiya Apparated directly to the Sanctuary, while Hyoga took the Kido family's plane. So, while Li Chuan and Seiya were delayed in the Sanctuary for several hours, Hyoga had only just gotten off the plane.

He has not yet returned to the village where he has lived and trained all these years, nor has he met his master, the Crystal Saint.

"Where are the villagers? What on earth happened?!"

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Binghe's expression changed drastically.

Because at this time there was no one in the village, and many doors were wide open, and the houses were filled with snow, as if no one had lived there for several days.

"Riding the clouds and mist".

With a wave of his hand, Li Chuan conjured a white cloud beneath his feet.

"Come on up, I'll take you around to look for any clues."

"What is this?"

Seiya reached out and grabbed at the white cloud beneath Li Chuan's feet, feeling as if he had grabbed a soft, squishy ball of cotton.

"The white clouds that can carry you flying, the newly developed flying technique that you guessed earlier."

Li Chuan smiled.

Without a word, Mo Ling stepped on Bai Yun, and sure enough, Bai Yun lifted her up as well.

Upon seeing this, Seiya and Hyoga immediately leaped onto the white clouds as well.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two of them instantly passed through the white clouds, landing on their backsides in a "wild goose landing on the sand" style.

"What happened?"

Seiya and Hyoga rubbed their butts, looking completely bewildered.

Why can Marin go up, but they fall down?

"Oh, I forgot to mention, only those with pure hearts can stand on these white clouds."

Li Chuan explained with a serious expression.

Seiya and Hyoga were completely dumbfounded.

Are they impure-hearted? They are only thirteen years old this year, still virgins. They have been training all year round and have never been exposed to any messy things. They are Saints who are wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting Athena. How could they not be pure-hearted!

"Haha, the atmosphere seems a bit serious. Just kidding. Come on up, let's go find the Crystal Saint and the villagers."

Satisfied with a bit of mischievousness, Li Chuan smiled and waved his hand, causing the white clouds to envelop the two of them. Then, he rode the clouds to scout the surroundings.

Seiya and Hyoga exchanged a helpless glance.

Spending time with Li Chuan reveals that he is mostly a very reliable and gentle older brother, but he also likes to tease them occasionally.

Previously, Chen Yi always liked to order them around and his attitude was very bad, but after being tricked by Li Chuan a few times, he never dared to do it again.

"There it is!"

After flying in the air for a while, they soon found the missing villagers.

At this time, the villagers were treated like slaves, whipped by men armed with guns, as they cut and transported huge blocks of ice to a specific location to build a massive structure resembling the base of a pyramid.

"Hurry up, hurry up! You lowly people, it's your honor to build a pyramid for His Holiness the Pope. If you slack off any longer, I'll hang you all!"

Some elderly people and frail women, including children as young as seven or eight, would be whipped if they slacked off even slightly. If they fell down, they would be beaten even more severely until they died and were dragged away.

"stop!"

Seeing the familiar faces below, Hyoga was instantly enraged and jumped off the cloud, igniting his inner power.

"Glacier! It's Glacier! We're saved!"

The villagers below cheered loudly when they saw the glacier descending from the sky.

Their entire village's hope has finally returned.

When the soldiers saw the glacier appear, they opened fire. However, how could ordinary firearms possibly harm a Saint? Even a Bronze Saint is a being whose fists can travel at supersonic speeds, and whose body is protected by their Saint Cloth.

So it was an almost one-sided crushing defeat, and before long, all the soldiers were on the ground.

At this moment, Li Chuan descended on a cloud with Seiya and Marin.

"Who are these people? Where is Master?"

Glacier asked the villagers who had gathered around.

One of the children pushed his way forward:

"Hyoga, these are all people from Sanctuary. Lord Crystal Saint has also gone to Sanctuary."

"Yakov, tell me what exactly happened?"

Upon seeing the child in front of him, Hyoga quickly squatted down and asked him in detail.

With Yakov and the villagers adding their own explanations, the whole story was finally clarified.

It turned out that the day after Glacier left the village, the Sanctuary sent a group of soldiers with the Pope's edict to forcibly conscript all the villagers in the vicinity to build the pyramid.

The Crystal Saint was furious, but unable to disobey the Pope's orders, he went to the Sanctuary in person to ask the Pope for an explanation.

He has not returned to this day.

"Hyoga, so you've returned. Very well, today I will clean house and deal with you traitors for the Sanctuary!"

Just as Li Chuan and his group of four were leading the villagers back to the village, someone blocked their way.

He was the Crystal Saint, Hyoga's master, who had just returned to Siberia from Sanctuary.

Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he launched an attack on Li Chuan and his group of four without hesitation.

"Master, listen to me, it's not what you think."

Hyoga thought that his master had misunderstood him because he had believed the fake pope, so he just kept avoiding explanations and didn't dare to fight back at all.

Knowing the situation all along, Li Chuan immediately activated Sage Mode and knocked down the Crystal Saint with a single, swift attack.

"Hyoga, the Crystal Saint's mind has been controlled by illusion magic. He can't listen to your explanations now. Let me break the control on him first."
