The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　Heimu successfully met with the reborn dragon named Moondust... and shattered the Goddess' Bell?

　Lin Yu knew this was the Black Dragon Society's top secret, and the ultimate purpose behind Heimu's long-term lurking within the Citadel. He simply hadn't expected this moment to arrive so soon—right under Cain's nose, they had actually destroyed the sacred artifact that had protected the Citadel for millennia!

　Cain seemed to have already made a plan for the Black Dragon Society's betrayal, and asked the Ancient Dragon Hunters to be prepared in advance, so that they would be beheaded if they turned against him.

　Lin Yu guessed this, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

　Almost at the moment Yuechen changed his attitude, Gulongshou took action.

　"Looks like I don't have to endure your stench anymore..."

　A hideous smile appeared on Lin Yu's face. He had long been disgusted with these self-proclaimed gods, not to mention that there was a foul-smelling dragon among them.

　"Did you know?" He looked at the approaching ancient dragon and whispered, "When I tore your mother's skull apart, she actually begged me to let you and your sister live!"

　"Dragons... They say you are a great species... I don't see that..."

　He turned his wrist, and the black light turned into a tiger claw, making a sound like burning flames.

　"It's a pity that I didn't get to taste your lovely sister in the end," he stuck out his tongue, "but... your blood should be okay, right?"

　"The remnants of the Ice Flame..."

　""

　Facing Lin Yu's provocation, Gu Longshou did not show any sign of anger.

　He just walked slowly towards Lin Yu, with ice flames burning on his long spear and the ice-blue light in his eye sockets like a will-o'-the-wisp.

　Seeing this, Lin Yu roared angrily and pounced towards the ancient dragon hunter, his pitch-black claws tearing through the air.

　"boom----"

　""

　Half an hour later.

　Amidst the heavy rain, the villa was burning in flames.

　With a loud "boom", the hood of the steam car exploded, and the last Black Dragon Society guard fell to the ground and died.

　At the door of the villa, Gu Longshou dragged Lin Yu's limbless body and threw him into the mud at the door.

　“Puff…”

　Lin Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments. He squirmed in the mud, struggling to say something.

　But he couldn't speak because his tongue had been pulled out.

　""

　“Click…Click…Click…Click…”

　A pair of black iron boots stepped on the mud and walked in front of Lin Yu. He raised his head with difficulty and saw a pair of ice-blue vertical pupils flashing in the rain.

　Ancient Dragon Hunter squatted down, and his helmet turned into ice flames and dissipated.

　In the rain, Lin Yu couldn't see his face clearly and could only stare blankly at those ice-blue eyes.

　"Next is personal."

　After Gu Longshou finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Lin Yu's head up.

　Looking at the unrecognizable face in front of me, countless past events flashed through my mind.

　The Black Dragon Society, the executors of the Ice Dragon family's genocide.

　On that day, Gu Long lost his parents, his brother, and his house...

　He also lost his sister...

　"Blood debt."

　After Gu Long finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Yu's head and bit his throat hard before he could react.

　He began to bite madly, like a beast that ate raw meat and drank blood. Lin Yu made a painful sound of choking blood in his throat, but he had no limbs to struggle with.

　""

　After a long time, Gu Longshou stood up, and at his feet was the remains of Lin Yu, whose blood and supernatural essence had been sucked dry.

　There was movement in the distance, drawing the dragon's gaze towards the hills below the cliff.

　The light points were moving quickly towards the mountain. There was no doubt that the fire in the villa had attracted the patrols of Danzhou.

　""

　Gu Longshou waved his hand, and the ice-blue flames dissipated in the rain. A gentleman in a black suit stood in the rain.

　He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, opened an umbrella, walked gracefully into the rain, and disappeared into the endless darkness.

　...END...

　PS: It's the middle of the month! New volumes are starting to be updated, please give me some monthly votes! I want to stay in the top three of the monthly vote list this month.

Chapter 371 July

　North Tower - Nefera Beta School of Magic

　"Aha..."

　Xing Mo stretched and looked at the rising morning light outside the window.

　Looking out from the North Tower, the sun rises from the horizon, and the morning light gradually spreads over the waves of the sea, and the sea water turns from dark to azure.

　Fishing boats sailed from the harbor to the sea, their boatmen the early days of fishing. Curls of steam trailed across the ocean, and even from a distance, one could almost smell the aroma of fireworks.

　It is mid-July, the height of summer.

　Four months have passed since the counterattack to defend the academy.

　Over the past four months, the ruined Citadel has gradually recovered thanks to the efforts of everyone involved. Collapsed buildings have been rebuilt by wizards, and damaged roads have been repaired by giants. With some giants and demihumans joining the Citadel's residents, the reconstruction has nearly doubled in efficiency compared to previous estimates.

　Xingmo yawned, picked up the cup beside her and wanted to drink some coffee, but found that the cup was empty.

　She wiped her face helplessly and forced herself to cheer up.

　Paperwork and stuff...it's really tiring...

　In the past four months

　, Xingmo became one of the leaders of the reconstruction work, working almost day and night.

　If it weren't for the extraordinary essence in her body, she might have already had dark circles under her eyes.

　Of course, Xingmo knew almost nothing about street planning, political systems, etc. The part she was responsible for was related to what she was good at - fighting.

　Well...it's not a fight, it's about reorganizing the self-defense organization of the city like the Bell Guardians.

　After the invasion of the Golden King, the bell guards of the academy were almost wiped out, leaving a huge gap in high-level combat power.

　Under such circumstances, Xing Mo was forced to take on the task and became the person in charge of the reorganization of high-level combat power.

　After all, it seems that there is no one in the academy with a higher combat power than her...

　Professor Merlin's departure was actually a fatal loss - a demigod could largely determine the victory of a large-scale war. In a war involving supernatural elements, the demigod could be said to be at the helm.

　As the only demigod in the academy, Xingmo naturally became... the leader?

　No, it should be said that it is a lighthouse-like deterrent beacon.

　Very scary. Very scary.

　Many people can do things like reorganizing combat power, but if they announce to the public that "the Saint of the Academy, Shikoti Amura, is reorganizing her extraordinary power", the deterrent effect will suddenly become different.

　But when this matter actually fell on Xing Mo, she had no way of handing the work over to others. For her, as long as a task was her responsibility, she had to complete it herself.

　So...working overtime...

　In these four months, Xingmo has lost count of how many times she has seen the sunrise.

　""

　Xing Mo put a series of organized files aside, and then picked up the letters to be opened on the other side.

　After reading this, I'll have breakfast and go to bed.

　""

　However, when Xingmo's eyes fell on the envelope, his mind suddenly became much clearer.

　Because the name on the envelope was Mr. Ruff.

　This old scholar from the empire, the former great sage, has not contacted Xingmo for a long time. Ever since the Sky Garden attacked the academy, almost no information has leaked out of the entire New Garo.

　At this point in time...what could happen to Mr. Luffy?

　Xing Mo opened the envelope, spread out the letter, and began to read:

　"To Miss Jadeti."

　"It's been a while since we last met. I wonder if the Citadel is doing well. I'm sorry that the war has caused so much suffering to everyone. As a citizen of the Empire, I'm tormented by this shame every night."

　"Perhaps our emperor went too far in his war efforts. Four months ago, when the Hanging Gardens returned to New Galo, their underlying gravity support structure was nearly completely destroyed. The collapsed gardens flattened nearly a third of the buildings within the city, leaving a massive hole in the city wall and causing tens of thousands of casualties."

　"In the foreseeable future, the Empire will no longer have the energy to launch another large-scale war. The bitter fruits of war trample upon civilians, and the karmic retribution will ultimately fall upon the Oasis."

　"The Emperor hasn't appeared in public since he lost his arm. The day after the garden crash, I received an invitation from the Immortal Division and once again assumed the role of Great Sage."

　Mr. Luffy has become a great sage again? Xing Mo nodded and continued reading:

　"Haha... It's funny to think about it. When I was able to read those secret scrolls again, I truly knew your identity..."

　"So, I hope the address on this letter is correct. After all, the name Jie Deti is just one of your identities, and it may not reach you directly..."

　"Perhaps you will express sadness at this outcome. There is no doubt that the position of Grand Sage of the Empire is clearly an enemy of the Citadel. Look at what Thoth Ibrahim has done. For Ibrahim's sake, it is truly unsettling to sit in this position."

　"I considered refusing, but looking at the cities destroyed in the Ring City collapse, and the displaced Golden People and Garo people, I felt that I had to take on something."

　"Maybe I can do a little more good for the world before I die."

　"So, this letter does not bring a declaration of war, but a request."

　"I have always hoped to change something, but my cowardice in the past prevented me from doing so. Even now, I have no idea how to do it."

　"In short, from my personal perspective, I hope to restore some of the trade relations between the Citadel and New Garo. The following is a list..."

　Mr. Luffy wrote a long string, but Xingmo just glanced over it quickly.

　She already understood the purpose of the letter—there was no doubt that the Golden King had promoted Mr. Luffy to the position in the hope of leveraging his credibility and relationship with Xingmo to promote cooperation between the two countries.

　Sometimes things are so ridiculous that your enemy just attacked your city and then started to restore trade relations with you in order to recover their losses.

　Golden King Ugaon, an unscrupulous emperor.

　Xing Mo didn't think she could make the final decision on this matter. She could see the sincerity in Mr. Luffy's words, and she also knew that the Imperials had never been the enemies of the Citadel people - the Golden King was.

　Under the wheel of history, countless hardworking people have been crushed into pieces, but they have never been any different.

　Then give it to Lingxiao

　Let’s take a longer look...Xing Mo finished reading the last part of the letter which was a greeting and put it aside.

　This letter did bring good news - since the Empire suffered such losses when the Hanging Gardens crashed, whether from the perspective of domestic stability or the damage suffered by the Golden King himself, there would be no large-scale war for a long time.

　Of course, the "war" here refers to conflicts between nations.

　The secret war for the extraordinary has never stopped.

　""

　Xingmo's gaze fell on the next letter: This letter was from Windwhisper Town - the town that was briefly occupied by the Messina Rangers after the capture of the Academy.

　The sender was a nun from the Holy Star Church. She reported to Xingmo about a series of income and expenditure of the church, including some matters concerning the residential settlements near Akademi Territory.

　After the Citadel counterattack, the legend of Saint Shikoti Amura spread across a wide area. People all knew the story of how the Star Saint led the army to break through the Imperial defenses and defeat the Golden King.

　Driven by this worship, Fengyu Town, as the first town liberated by Xingmo, naturally became... a holy place?

　Holy Land Wind Whisper Town!

　However, Xing Mo only stayed in that small town for a short time. Few people had seen her, few people had witnessed her appearance, and naturally few people knew her.

　Given this dual situation of strong faith and rare appearances, the impression of Saint Shikoti Amra becomes increasingly outrageous.

　Some say that Shikoti Amura can tear a city apart with a wave of her wand. It was with this power that she destroyed the Hanging Gardens and sent the Imperials back home.

　Some people say that Shikoti Amura was a tiger rider. When she liberated Windwhisper Town, she rode a tiger to fight against General Wangyou. The fight between the tiger and the bull demon was so terrifying.
