Chapter 826: The Way Out

At night, the old deacon tossed and turned in bed, unable to meditate.

He could never forget the scenes he saw outside the secret order wizard tower this morning.

The three-hundred-meter-tall steel giant, the giant ape that flattened the valley to the ground.

There are also those legions of steel behemoths that rush through the abyss army like a landslide from the very beginning.

This kind of thing, this scene.

All made the old deacon tremble, panic, and feel deeply uneasy.

If he hadn't realized that the space barrier of the Saint Continent was still there, these monsters would only be passers-by, no matter how powerful they were.

The old deacon was very doubtful that after returning to the secret realm of the Holy Lord clan, he would secretly contact his friends and become a traitor?

After all, judging from the various external appearances shown by the giant.

Although there was indeed no sign of the Morning Star Wizard taking action.

But for such extraordinary forces, if there is no Morning Star Wizard in charge...even the most arrogant person would not believe it.

The old deacon sighed, got out of bed and wanted to find the great elder again to make him think twice.

When he opened the door, the old deacon was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, the great elder was standing at the door.

"You're worried, right?"

The great elder looked at the old deacon and walked in, stroking his white beard.

After sitting down slowly, he looked at the old deacon with a complicated expression and said, "You were working in the mansion with me."

"It's been almost seven hundred years now."

"Yes, Great Elder." The old deacon opened his mouth, hesitantly nodded and replied.

"Seven hundred years."

The great elder said this, then paused and said: "The Holy Lord's clan has grown more and more prosperous in the past seven hundred years."

"But people's hearts are also confused and out of alignment."

"If it weren't for the elders of the Presbyterian Church living a long time, and the strange objects left by each generation of Morningstar wizards to suppress Xiaoxiao."

"I'm afraid the Holy Lord clan has long been torn apart."

"Great Elder, how could it be possible? Our Holy Lord clan is the backbone of the Holy Continent and should continue for thousands of generations..."

"Hahaha, okay, I don't believe you didn't see it." The great elder interrupted the old deacon's flattery, and his expression gradually became serious.

"I came to you tonight because I have entrusted you with something important."

"In addition to the young master, our mansion also has two extraordinary geniuses who are practicing in a secret realm."

"I want you to leave the Holy Lord clan's secret realm overnight to respond. If you learn that we have won against the giant, you can wait for them to come back after completing their training."

"If it is known that we have lost..." After saying this, the great elder paused and said: "Hurry up and break the secret realm, call them two to stay anonymous with you, and wait for the situation to change."

The old deacon shuddered and looked at the great elder in disbelief: "Why should we fight if we might lose?"

"Just because the giant ape with the awakened Morning Star bloodline can help us speed up the birth of the Morning Star Wizard?"

"The Morning Star Wizard may appear on the opposite side, why should we take this risk?"

The Great Elder smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Of course we old people will think like this and worry about the consequences."

"But most people only see benefits."

"In other words, they believe that the benefits of winning far outweigh the consequences of losing."

"After all, in their view, the biggest risk is that our crusade army encounters the Morning Star wizard on the opposite side, regardless of the weakening of the space barrier, and still brazenly attacks us."

"The most that can mean is that the crusade is defeated. Should those monsters invade and loot, they will still invade and loot."

"And if it succeeds, the Morning Star Wizard will reappear, and the abyss crisis that has always worried the major families will be solved."

"As for the revenge of the giant force..." The great elder chuckled: "We can't defeat it, why can't we run away?"

"As long as the Morning Star Wizard appears, we can change the course of the Saint Continent, and our spies in the Golden Wood Kingdom are not useless. They discovered that the other party should have used space-time bottle witchcraft to locate it."

"This position is only for one time. Once we change the relative position with the other continent, it is impossible for such good luck to hit us again."

The great elder said this, and the old deacon had to nod.

He also understood that the Great Elder wanted him to leave secretly to protect the young genius. In fact, he was not worried about the giant forces invading the secret realm, but was afraid that after the strength of the Holy Lord clan was greatly reduced, the monsters and monsters that usually lurk would gather together to attack for profit.

To avoid the worst outcome.

He instinctively left a way out for his direct bloodline.

The old deacon suddenly thought of a possibility that made him change his mind. He hesitated and looked at the great elder and said, "But... but we guessed wrong?"

"What if the other party masters some secret technique that ignores the space barrier between continents and can travel freely?"

"Aren't we..."

"Wrong guess? Impossible!"

The great elder knew what the old deacon was thinking and shook his head: "We analyzed the image data and the witchcraft fluctuations collected at that time no less than a hundred times."

"I'm sure we didn't guess wrong!"

"This is also the reason why the old people, including me, finally acquiesced to this expedition."

"It's really... we can't find any reason not to go on an expedition!"

"And..." the great elder sighed softly: "Even if you guessed it right, the other side used means beyond our imagination to land directly on our continent."

"Our Holy Lord clan, do we have any other choice besides fighting?"

"Our Holy Lord Clan has been the guardian of the Saint Continent for thousands of years!" When the elder said this, an abnormal blush appeared on his face: "Thousands of years of inheritance and historical background will not allow forces like us to choose to kneel to invaders."

"We will still fight to the end with that giant."

The elder said this, threw a rune to the old deacon, and shook his body and left quickly.

The old deacon opened his mouth, looked at the back of the elder, and exhaled a breath of turbid air for a long time.

Then he gritted his teeth, picked up the rune, and left the secret realm of the Holy Lord Clan overnight.

When leaving the secret realm, the old deacon was shocked to find that there were several acquaintances who were rushing in the night like him.

As a deacon, he at least had the ability of a pseudo-third-level extraordinary strongman.

It is naturally impossible not to find each other.

So all parties found each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, the old deacon was older after all, and he took the lead in breaking the deadlock and saluted with his eyes. Then, after these deacons nodded and greeted each other silently, they all quickened their pace.

Obviously, everyone at the meeting seemed to think that catching the giant ape was easy.

But which of the elders of each house who evolved from the direct bloodline of the Morning Star Wizard was not a cunning old man?

For the sake of profit, they are willing to put a noose around their necks.

But within the rules, they will also be keenly aware of the crisis that may get out of control.

Choose to leave a way out for their bloodline family.

In a cave on a high mountain outside the secret realm.

The Abyss Flame Demon, who used many seals to suppress his abyss breath, slowly climbed out of the cave and looked at the black figures running around.

He laughed strangely and said, "They are all looking for a way out, which is a good opportunity to show us the way."

"These descendants of the Morning Star wizards, whether they are lured to fall or their souls are directly extracted, will make the great abyss happy."

"If they lose."

"Immediately activate all the back-up plans to plunder souls! Especially those genius teenagers!"

"Don't let any of them go!"
