Chapter 1319: The Paladin Legion of the Holy See
They killed without stopping throughout the entire night.
With the Saintess acting as a killing machine, it was an incredible experience.
Since the demonic beasts were highly concentrated at night and provided abundant experience points, Luo Tian broke through to the Great Diffusion 6th rank in less than half a night.
To reward this killing machine, Luo Tian meticulously prepared a feast of roasted meat. He didn’t use ordinary fire, but instead used yuan energy to roast the demonic beast’s leg meat, making it more flavorful and unforgettable.
The Saintess devoured the food, completely abandoning her refined image.
She ate more than anyone else, as if she hadn’t eaten in several lifetimes.
To capture a man’s heart, wait, correction, to capture a woman’s heart, you must first capture her stomach.
Even though the experts of this world can go days, months, or even years without food, once they start eating, they become addicted.
The Saintess was exactly like that.
After finishing her portion, she didn’t forget to instruct Luo Tian, “I want roasted meat again in the morning!”
“Again?”
“Eating too much roasted meat isn’t good for you. Why don’t we try something lighter?” Luo Tian suggested.
He then added, “It’s a pity there are no kitchen utensils here, otherwise I could make you things you’ve never tasted before.”
Before he could finish elaborating, the Saintess immediately said, “If there is no roasted meat, I won’t help you hunt demonic beasts tomorrow.”
“Huh?”
“Roasted meat it is! As much as you want,” Luo Tian said resolutely.
What was he thinking, worrying that roasted food was bad for the body? In this different world, everyone’s physical body was monstrous, with internal organs stronger than steel. Nothing could harm a body like that.
Clearly, Luo Tian’s worries were unnecessary.
The slaughter continued!
His experience points continued to soar.
Time disappeared bit by bit.
Five days later.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for leveling up. You are currently at the Great Diffusion 9th rank.”
The system gave off an alert.
Luo Tian’s face lit up with joy, but as he checked his system interface, his expression turned bitter. He thought to himself, “Damn, leveling up now requires over a billion experience points! This pace is going to be the death of me! Where am I supposed to get that much experience?!”
Aside from the first few days where he leveled up relatively quickly, things had slowed down significantly.
As Luo Tian’s level increased, the experience gained from the demonic beasts had diminished quite a bit.
However, his current speed was still a super perverted phenomenon.
Even the Saintess was trying to hide her shock. Several times she looked at Luo Tian as if he were a monster, and several times she nearly asked him how exactly he managed to break through. But she eventually held back the words at the tip of her tongue.
She didn’t want to bother with knowing how Luo Tian trained or broke through.
She didn’t want to have any more contact with this man.
She certainly didn’t want to care about the man who had slapped her butt red.
She still had a vivid memory of the pain on her behind. If her mouth hadn’t been so greedy for his food, she never would have let herself be controlled by him.
Over the past five days, Liu Zhan also broke through once. However, compared to Luo Tian’s speed, he felt a sudden urge to just give up.
Nevertheless, even with Luo Tian’s current cultivation at Great Diffusion 9th rank, he still could not see through the Saintess’s current realm.
“According to the map, the bottom of the valley ahead should be the entrance to Pangu’s Cave,” Luo Tian said softly.
He then glanced at the Saintess and asked, “Are you also here in the Pangu Mountains to complete a mission for Pangu’s Cave?”
The Saintess replied coldly, ” I have no interest in academy missions. Phoenix Sky Mountain has no desire to change anything in the secular world. I won’t be staying at the Misty Cloud Academy for long, so there’s no need for me to do any missions.”
That actually made sense. Given her status, she could have whatever she wanted at the Misty Cloud Academy. Even if she demanded the position of Vice Dean, Tian Long would likely agree without hesitation. She would never look twice at a publicly posted mission.
Luo Tian asked, “Then what are you doing here?”
The Saintess snapped back coldly, “Is that any of your business?”
Faced with her typical cold expression, Luo Tian didn’t get angry. He said, “Since you aren’t here for the mission, that’s fine. I need the merit points from this mission. I was originally going to share some with you, but now that I think about it, there’s no need.”
Liu Zhan added, “Boss, merit points aren’t worth a damn to me. It’s not like I can trade them for a girl, so I don’t need them either.”
The Saintess said with disdain, “Only people like you would care about merit points.”
“Huh?”
Luo Tian smiled bitterly.
If it weren’t for the need to go to the Abyss Academy, he wouldn’t have bothered with any missions at all.
But he had no other choice.
He had to go to the Abyss Academy to mine more Spectral Gems from the mine to forge a super dark weapon.
Without enough merit points to exchange, he wouldn’t even be qualified to participate in the selection.
The Saintess then said, “I will help you complete your mission, and you will tell me what you know. After that, we go our separate ways.”
“We will act as if we’ve never met.”
“Once I find my sister, I will take her back to Phoenix Sky Mountain. We belong to two different worlds, so our paths will never cross again.”
Her tone was exceptionally cold.
Luo Tian was chuckling internally, “Sister-in-law, do you really hate me that much? I’m your brother-in-law, after all. Who cares about paths crossing? As long as we can cross paths in bed, that’s enough for me.”
Luo Tian didn’t say anything back to her.
He didn’t say much more about Xue’er, not because he didn’t want to, but because she had been poisoned because of him.
If he couldn’t neutralize the Soul Poison in her body, he would never forgive himself.
“Rest for half an hour, then we enter the valley,” Luo Tian said, closing his eyes to rest.
His mind began to wander toward the Ancient King imprisoned in Pangu’s Cave. Back in Heavenly Sword City on the Tianxuan Continent, when Blind Liu transformed into a demon, Luo Tian’s consciousness had been pulled into Pangu’s Cave. He still remembered some of the interior, but his consciousness had entered without sensing any danger back then.
But what about now?
The Guardian Race wouldn’t let him rescue the Ancient King so easily.
There was bound to be immense danger within Pangu’s Cave.
Luo Tian pondered this matter silently.
Half an hour later, he stood up and said, “Let’s go. Enter the valley.”
————-
Inside the valley, the ground was littered with the corpses of demonic beasts.
Each one was as large as a small hill.
Rank seven, rank eight, and even two rank nine demonic beasts, all dead.
Anyone possessing such combat power had to be at the peak of the Holy Spirit realm, if not an Honorable Emperor already.
But it wasn’t just a single peak Holy Spirit powerhouse.
It was an entire unit!
The Holy See’s Paladin Legion!
Every one of them wore matching golden armor, with knightly swords at their waists, shields in their left hands, and spears in their right. Under the blazing sun, they were practically shimmering in the dazzling light. They looked incredibly fierce!
The leader of the Paladin Legion was a woman.
She was an iron-blooded woman who had survived countless battles.
Standing before her was another person, a Black Robe High Priest.
The woman spoke with great respect, “My Lord, Pangu’s Cave is just ahead.”
