To expect Bai Li to lay down the holy sword and fight them fairly is simply wishful thinking.

“That’s true. Although he’s old, he’s not that senile! He’s unlikely to lay down his holy sword and fight me fairly!” Aiacos shook his head and chuckled.

Just then, the broken sword on the ground suddenly trembled.

Although the movement was very faint, it was very clear to Aiacos and his companion, who had already awakened their seventh sense, and they keenly sensed the unusual movement of the broken sword.

“That sword… seems to have a problem!” Violet frowned slightly and strode over.

However, considering that it was a sacred object bestowed by Athena, she did not dare to touch it rashly. Instead, she silently gathered the power of her cosmos in her palm, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Aiacos also stepped forward, surrounding the broken sword in the center, silently gathering his cosmic power in preparation.

Buzz!

Just then, the broken sword began to vibrate again, and the vibration was much more intense than before.

"Destroy it completely!"

Sensing something was wrong, Tianxiongxing Aiacos decisively gave the order and punched the broken sword on the ground with all his might.

Upon hearing this, Violet did not hesitate for a moment, decisively gathering the power he had already accumulated into his fist and slamming it down heavily.

boom!

The two fists landed almost simultaneously, one in front of the other, and the vibrating broken sword seemed to be suppressed, suddenly coming to a standstill.

But at that moment, it suddenly began to vibrate violently again, unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent the two of them flying.

Immediately afterwards, a silver streak shot out from the broken sword and flew directly toward the exit of the Yellow Springs Rift.

"Oh no, stop him!"

Sensing the familiar aura hidden within that silvery light, Aiacos couldn't help but cry out and hurriedly threw a punch in pursuit.

He immediately guessed that it must be a backup plan left behind by Bai Li.

The opponent deliberately separated a portion of their mental power and hid it within the broken sword, intending to escape when they lowered their guard and opened the spatial seal.

As Aiacos had guessed, Hakurei had begun to think about how to send out information instead of dying here when he discovered that the rift to the underworld was completely sealed by the Grim Reaper, leaving him unable to escape and even cutting off his chance to send messages to the outside world.

When the holy sword broke, he finally found a way: he stored what he had seen and heard in the Yellow Springs Rift in the form of mental power and injected it into the broken holy sword to hide it.

Although the holy sword was broken, it still contained some faint divine power, which was just enough to cover up his mental fluctuations.

Once everyone relaxes their guard and the sealed Yellow Springs rift reopens, he can then use his psychic power to send it out again.

Actually, he originally wanted to split off a part of his soul directly, so that he could store more information than psychic power.

However, considering that his opponent was a god of death who was extremely skilled at manipulating souls, he had to abandon the idea.

Because doing so would likely alert Death and cause his plans to fail.

Now, the moment has finally arrived.

Upon hearing Aiacos's call, Violet was startled and quickly steadied himself, throwing a powerful punch at the silver streak of light.

Unfortunately, thanks to Bai Li's meticulous planning, they were given absolutely no chance to intercept him.

The two could only watch helplessly as the silver streak of light passed through the Yellow Springs Crack, their own fist energy unable to catch up.

Sensing the commotion, Death appeared once more.

"What happened again?" Thanatos asked the two men with a cold expression.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Thanatos, it was our oversight!" Aiacos quickly apologized and recounted everything that had just happened.

"Useless fellow!"

Thanatos snorted coldly and raised his hand to unleash two bolts of purplish-black lightning that struck the two men.

Despite sensing the terrifying fluctuations contained within the divine lightning, Aiacos and his companion dared not entertain any thoughts of dodging or resisting, and could only grit their teeth and stand still to await their punishment.

boom!

The divine lightning struck, scattering bolts of electricity, instantly engulfing the two, accompanied by a series of shrill screams.

When the lightning dissipated, Aiacos and the other man lay on the ground, their Surplice nearly half torn apart and their bodies charred black.

Thanatos snorted and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you two are still of some use, you would be two corpses by now!"

Upon hearing this, Aiacos and the other man, enduring excruciating pain, rolled over to their feet, knelt on the ground, and bowed their heads, saying, "Thank you for your mercy and forgiveness, sir!"

"Sir, what should we do next?" Aiacos asked cautiously, afraid of being punished again if he made a mistake.

"You don't need to do anything, just guard your posts and wait for the Saints and Athena to come to you!"

Thanatos waved his hand and sneered, "So what if they know what's going on here? They'll still have to come down and see for themselves!"

He spent so much time setting this up; it wasn't just a simple trap.

He was certain that Athena would personally intervene and voluntarily enter this place.

Having finished his explanation, Thanatos disappeared from the scene once again, leaving only the wounded Aiacos and Thanatos staring at each other in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Pope Sage, far away in the Sanctuary, had just finished organizing a pile of documents and was feeling tired and drowsy.

Just then, he felt a surge of energy, and a familiar mental force flowed into his mind.

Chapter 251 Leaving the Moon Palace

"Brother?"

Sage was somewhat taken aback when he recognized the familiar figure that appeared in his mind.

"The investigation results are out so quickly?" he asked, puzzled.

"There have indeed been some gains! But the situation is not optimistic!" Bai Li shook his head helplessly.

"So... what did you discover?" Sage asked curiously.

Bai Li then said, "The god of death, Thanatos, is hiding in the Yellow Springs Rift below, and he has set up an extremely powerful magic array around the rift, which can seal off the space, making it impossible for people to enter or leave freely, or even transmit information."

"Even information can't be transmitted?"

Sage was taken aback, but he quickly recovered and hurriedly asked, "If you couldn't transmit the information, how did you manage to send your telekinesis back, brother?"

“Because… I’m already dead!” Bai Li sighed deeply.

Upon hearing this, Pope Sage froze on the spot, unaware that the book in his hand had fallen to the ground.

It took him a while to process this shocking news, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

The brothers have supported each other for over two hundred years, from the last holy war to the present.

As they grew older, their bodies became increasingly frail, and they both knew that one day they would part ways, but they never expected that day would come so suddenly.

"Don't be so sentimental like a little girl!"

Bai Li stepped forward, patted his brother on the shoulder, and said, "I don't have much time, and there are many things that I can't explain in words."

"I will directly transmit to you all the memories I saw and heard after entering the Yellow Springs Rift."

"Let's discuss this thoroughly with Lord Sasha and see if we can find anything useful."

"Also, tell Lady Sasha that the Underworld Rift is a trap set by the Grim Reaper specifically for her. Never step into it!"

As he spoke, he placed his right index finger on his brother's forehead and then transmitted his memory imprint to him.

However, Bai Li is currently just a remnant avatar and has not stored much power. Crossing the dimensional barrier to return to the Holy Domain has already consumed a lot of his energy, and now that he is transmitting memory imprints, his figure is becoming increasingly illusory.

By the time the memory imprint was fully transferred, he was almost nothing more than a semi-transparent afterimage.

"Lord Sasha is in your hands now, Sage!"

After giving his final instructions, Bai Li's figure completely disappeared from the Pope's mind.

"Brother—"

Seeing Bai Li's lingering resentment completely disappear, Saiqi was also overwhelmed with grief and could no longer suppress his sorrow. Large tears rolled down his cheeks.

He quickly reported the news to Sasha, and the other Gold Saints also heard the heartbreaking news, shrouding the entire Sanctuary in a somber atmosphere once again.

On the other side, just as Bai Li's lingering resentment completely disappeared, Wu Xin, far away in the Moon Temple, inexplicably felt a pang of heart palpitation.

"What happened?"

He was suddenly jolted awake from his comprehension of combat techniques and involuntarily clutched his chest.

As a Saint, he has already mastered the Seventh Sense, and his intuition far surpasses that of ordinary people. Any sudden impulse he experiences is not a simple physiological abnormality, but rather a kind of reminder and warning from the unseen.

He knew it was a kind of subtle reminder, but he didn't know exactly what it was. This reminder only made him feel inexplicably irritable.

Because of this added agitation in his heart, he found it difficult to calm down and concentrate on comprehending combat techniques as he had before.

"This is so annoying!"

He sighed and temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​comprehending combat techniques.

Fortunately, there were only a few days left until the next full moon, and Wu Xin hadn't made much progress in comprehending combat techniques recently, so he wanted to relax a bit.

So, for the next few days, he did nothing and leisurely recuperated at the Temple of the Moon.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Wu Xin, who was sitting on the ground conserving his energy, suddenly felt a violent vibration in the air.

"What happened?"

He was startled and quickly opened his eyes, anxiously searching his surroundings.

He quickly found the source of the vibration.

The Moon God's seal, which had sealed off the entire Moon Temple, was trembling, causing ripples in space, as if a strong wind had swept across a calm lake.

"The shock of the ban is so intense, it seems the full moon is approaching!" Wu Xin immediately guessed and began to seriously calculate the time.

"As expected, another full moon has arrived!" He quickly came to the conclusion.

"In that case, I should leave too!" He slowly stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his clothes.

The environment here is perfect for him to study combat techniques, but now is not the time for quiet cultivation. He must return as soon as possible, as El Cid is waiting for the 'Star Sand' to heal his soul wounds.

Moreover, he killed the blasphemers and a group of evil spirit warriors here, and the gods behind them must have already noticed.

If we stay here any longer, we'll probably get blocked, and then we won't be able to leave even if we want to.

Considering all the reasons, Wuxin must leave as soon as possible.
