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

　"After all, she's a dragon, so her status is high," Xing Mo frowned. "But... Ruan Lili, as the patriarch of the Xiaolong family... was sent here to take charge of our transportation and commuting?"

　"It's certainly not befitting of my status," Aurora stretched. "But when I think about the fact that the renowned Citadel Bell Keeper, Saint Shikoti Amura, is responsible for my food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, it doesn't seem so strange anymore."

　"Be responsible for your little cat." Xingmo pinched Aurora's

　Face.

　"He's gone out?"

　"Yes, that must be him."

　Across the street, Vivian watched the steam train driving down the road and patted Alice on the shoulder.

　"Continue the ambush?"

　"No, follow," Alice whispered. "It seems we've arrived just in time."

　"why?"

　"He looked flustered, and he had nothing in his hands," Alice explained. "A son who was packing up his father's belongings...ran out of his father's house in a panic? What could be more important than giving his father a proper, superficial care?"

　"Unless there's something more urgent." Vivian nodded.

　The two walked out onto the street, and Alice naturally walked up to a steam carriage and knocked on the window.

　The car window rolled down, and a man stuck his head out impatiently:

　"What are you doing!"

　"Drive the car for me." Alice threw a bag in.

　"Why are you driving! This is my car! You..."

　The man picked up the small bag in the middle of cursing, and his expression suddenly became subtle.

　He got out of the car immediately, turned around and left without saying a word.

　"Get in the car," Alice turned around and found Vivian dumbfounded, "What's wrong?"

　"You cast a spell on him?" Vivian asked blankly.

　"No." Alice shook her head honestly.

　"Then why did he leave?" Vivian looked at the man's back.

　"I bought his car." Alice picked up the car keys on the seat and shook them.

　Oh, I forgot there is a person with money ability here.

　Alice sat in the driver's seat, Vivian sat in the passenger seat, and the car door closed.

　The cockpit of the steam car is full of pipeline structures, and the parameters are displayed on the front dashboard with Nixie tubes, which looks quite steam-revolutionary.

　Alice quickly pulled a few levers, then grabbed the steering wheel and drove down the street.

　She quickly caught up with Lin Yan's car, keeping a certain distance from him to ensure not to attract attention.

　Seeing Alice controlling the steam car flexibly, Vivian couldn't help but be amazed.

　"Is this your first time driving?" she asked weakly.

　"It's not that difficult," Alice said, gripping the steering wheel. "It's much easier than driving a steamship."

　At the street corner, she drifted violently, and the steam pipes on the car body ejected long streams of steam, startling passers-by.

　"It's quite fun." Alice smiled.

　"You, you, you're driving a little too fast!" Vivian's voice became increasingly louder.

　There's a female driver here! A female driver! The kind that doesn't care about their lives!

　"Hahahaha, don't worry, it won't overturn!" Alice laughed.

　She always kept a distance from Lin Yan's car, suddenly accelerating and slowing down from time to time.

　Vivian's heart was in her throat almost the entire time. After all, it was Alice's first time driving, and she drove so wildly that she felt like she might fly out of the driver's seat at any time.

　Fortunately, this did not happen.

　Half an hour later, the car drove into the seaside area and stopped in a parking lot near a shallow beach.

　From a distance, Alice and Vivian saw Lin Yan get out of the car and walk towards the distant shallows under the escort of several men in black.

　Following the direction he was walking, Vivian saw a towering sea cliff. Seagulls were flying under the dark clouds, and the salty smell of the sea blew in waves.

　"It seems this is our destination."

　Vivian and Alice got out of the car and watched Lin Yan walk further and further away.

　"There must be something fishy going on in such a remote place." Vivian muttered.

　"Come on, let's follow."

　The two men waited until the distance between them and Lin Yan was so far that it could not be observed by the naked eye before they moved forward and walked on the shallows.

　They crossed the shallows and followed the footprints left by Lin Yan and his group, and soon arrived just below the sea cliff.

　Not far away, two men in black were standing on the beach, with a cliff structure behind them - a cave hidden there.

　"It looks like that guy went in." Alice whispered.

　"Go say hello?" Vivian suggested.

　"Walk."

　The two men walked straight towards the cave. At this time, the man in black noticed them and came forward, grabbing the scabbard at his waist.

　"The area ahead is restricted," a man in black said, "No passage allowed."

　"Can't we take a walk? There's no sign on the beach." Alice pretended to be surprised.

　"Don't you understand what we're saying? Get out of here!" another bodyguard shouted.

　He walked forward, as if he wanted to threaten the two of them with the sheath in his hand. At this moment, Vivian rushed forward and gave them a clean elbow.

　"what!"

　The man in black twitched and fell to the ground, motionless. The other man in black unhesitatingly drew the sword from his waist, which was dragging flames.

　"call--"

　"clang--"

　Vivian held the silver sword in reverse, blocked the attack cleanly and neatly, and then with a fierce push, knocked the man in black to the ground with both the sword and the person.

　Without giving the man in black time to get up, she kicked him hard and knocked him unconscious.

　"Ugh."

　At this point, the two men in black lost their ability to fight.

　"Let's go." Vivian crushed the silver sword and shook off the ice flame lingering around her hand.

　"Handsome." Alice blinked.

　The two of them stepped over the man in black and walked towards the cave on the cliff.

　The interior of the cave was pitch black, and the sea breeze poured in from the entrance, bringing with it a strong salty and fishy smell.

　As we go deeper into the cave, a faint spiritual pressure comes

　Coming towards them, mixed with some ominous black spiritual power flow made Alice and Vivian more alert.

　This kind of spiritual power flow usually only occurs in some less serious occasions, such as the gathering places of cults.

　What was Lin Yan doing in this kind of ghost place?

　""

　Soon, as the two went deeper and deeper, whispers and murmurs were heard from the front.

　It was the voice of a young boy, talking to himself, his voice low and hoarse.

　"...prayer?"

　"No..." Vivian whispered, "It's Long Yan."

　The voice obviously belonged to Lin Yan, and the tone of his voice... didn't sound like his own.

　Weiwei listened carefully for a moment, then translated in a low voice:

　"...The Lord will blacken the sky..."

　"...The Lord will devour the mountains and rivers..."

　"...The Lord will be reborn, breaking through the eternal night, seeking the final liberation..."

　Vivian stuck out her tongue. There was no doubt that this series of prayers was directed at the Dragon Lord.

　"What do you mean?" Vivian looked at Alice.

　"Control him." Alice nodded.

　Since they were certain that this was a cult case, they naturally had the motive to take action.

　So, Alice drew her wand, and Vivian grabbed it in the air, and the ice flame condensed into a silver sword.

　The two nodded, then rushed forward at the same time—

　"!"

　In an instant, the view became clear, and the two of them found themselves in a huge cave.

　A ray of sunlight fell from the top of the cave, illuminating a stone bed in the center of the cave.

　Lin Yan was lying on the stone bed with his eyes closed.

　Next to Lin Yan, a man in a black robe was holding a dagger.

　He raised his head slightly, his eyes falling on Alice and Vivian's faces, the corners of his mouth slightly curled under the hood.

　"Welcome, Ice Flame Vivian Xia, Bishop Alice Pushiter."

　Under the surprised gazes of the two, the man took off his mask, revealing a weathered, familiar face.

　—That's clearly black wood! The owner of the underground bar in the North City!

　He is also a member of the Black Dragon Society!

　"This scene... is just like yesterday," he said, his lips curling slightly. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

　"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

　There was a faint smile at the corner of Heimu's mouth.

　The moment they saw his face clearly, Alice immediately raised her wand and Vivian also raised her silver sword.

　But Heimu loosened his hand and the dagger fell to the ground.

　"We can talk..." Heimu smiled, "Why bother with tension?"

　"Is there anything you want to talk about?" Alice approached the dark wood step by step. "You are in cahoots with the Court of Redemption."

　"Ah... that was a while ago," Heimu said, spreading his hands. "Actually... the term 'going along with the flow' isn't accurate... We and the Supreme Being were just... each taking what we needed."

　"It seems you got what you wanted." Vivian paced around the altar.

　"That's right, the reborn dragon has returned to our midst," Heimu smiled. "That boy named Yuechen, well, he's very special..."

　Heimu slowly walked to the stone table and covered Lin Yan's head with a black cloth.

　"What did you do to him?" Alice asked.

　"One transaction."

　Heimu grabbed Lin Yan's hand, lifted it up, and showed Alice the tattoo on it:

　"This is the mark of the Dragon Lord," he explained. "A gift from the unknown not only pierced his skin, but also his soul."

　"He was a child with low self-esteem, overshadowed by his father, eager to prove his existence with strength. Unfortunately, his talent was not enough to support his ambition, so he was reduced to a playboy..."

　"However, with the power of the tattoo, he can indeed do many things he couldn't do before—such as taking a gift from you, attracting your attention, and thus becoming a mark, leading you... to me."

　Heimu smiled faintly, while Alice and Vivian's expressions became much more serious.

　I was saying... How could any random person get a Black Dragon Society tattoo...
