69: Holy Lady Priest, I grant you an equal death

How to compress the time it takes to advance to an Arcane Envoy from half a year to half a month or even less?

There is only one answer.

Devour other people's Hellfire.

Where is the most Hellfire?

There is only one answer.

Every Arcane Association branch that conducts secret research and experiments.

The evening wind howled.

Meng Yun, clad in a white robe, held a black hell scepter, with a massive demon suppression stone floating and spinning above it, and a colossal red feline accompanying him.

Solemn sanctity and eerie terror appeared on him at the same time.

Divided yet harmonious.

Before him was the Arcane Association branch in Pawa City.

Thanks to Pawa City being a major crystal hub, the Arcane Association branch here was also of extremely high standards.

There were two Arcane Envoy level existences alone.

He silently took out the Saintess Church golden credential, given to him by the Saintess Church believers with immense piety, and hung it on his chest.

The Saintess Church had no priests before.

But now it did.

Even if it didn't, it did now.

“Ru Yi, blast them.”

Ru Yi's eyes narrowed, and the eight-level peak fire-attribute Arcane fluctuations from her mouth spread out.

“Roar—!”

A fireball shot out, soaring into the sky, rapidly expanding against the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-sized fireball, plummeting towards the ancient building of the Arcane Association.

Like the scorching sun.

“What is that?!”

“Oh my god, a disaster descending?!”

“It could also be a UFO!”

The light above the Arcane Association startled countless town residents.

They all walked out of their homes, filled with curiosity and wonder, to admire this rare spectacle.

However, to the people of the Arcane Association, this spectacle was nothing short of a catastrophe.

Boom!!

A terrifying sound wave echoed, and a massive shockwave directly hit the defensive spell array.

The spell array, which could withstand the full attack of an Arcane Envoy without breaking, trembled and swayed for a moment, then instantly shattered, turning into countless specks of light.

Then, the remaining explosion aftermath directly blew off the roof of the Arcane Association.

Truly a 'total destruction'!

Amidst the chaos, two Arcane Envoys simultaneously took action, narrowly dispelling the fluctuations, thus preventing greater destruction.

Both of them flew into the sky, covered in dust, their faces showing lingering fear.

This terrifying fluctuation was merely the aftermath after destroying the defensive spell array, the aftermath!

If the aftermath alone required the two of them to work together to block, what about the full-power attack?

Unimaginable, simply unimaginable!

Who on earth could it be?!

It's absolutely impossible for it to be a God Art Master!

Looking across the world, apart from the Holy God, no one else has a chance to step into the God Art Master realm!

A gentle breeze blew, and Meng Yun's figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

“You are… Eastern Abyss??!”

“Eastern Abyss? You've stepped into the Arcane Envoy realm?”

The massive shockwave swept across the entire city, and although it didn't cause much harm to the common people, a sense of dread was unavoidable.

“What happened?”

“It seems someone is launching a sneak attack!”

“I saw it, it's Lord Eastern Abyss!”

“Lord Eastern Abyss? Why is he attacking the Arcane Association?”

Meng Yun's reputation as an Alchemy Master had already spread throughout Pawa City.

However, those who revered him most were not the common people who had received his favor, but rather the several Arcanists whose lives he had saved.

“Lord Eastern Abyss must be unable to tolerate the Arcane Association's dark magic experiments!”

“Exactly, he's acting on behalf of heaven!”

“But Lord Eastern Abyss's strength is only at the Arcane Master level, isn't it…”

In a commoner's residence.

A middle-aged man burst in, looking at his companion whose bread had fallen to the ground, and said in a muffled voice, “Dopa, I heard Lord Eastern Abyss is attacking the Arcane Association.”

“Let him attack, what can I do? I'm just an Arcanist,”

Dopa was warming wine, silently watching the small stove slowly heat up.

“He saved my life; I can't just stand by and watch him die!” The middle-aged man looked at Dopa, seemingly waiting for his decision.

“I… I'm afraid of death.” Dopa fell silent for a moment, then lowered his head.

Only after experiencing the pain of being burned by Hellfire would one know how precious it is to live normally.

He just wanted to cherish his hard-won life.

He just wanted to live well.

He was not wrong.

Even if Lord Eastern Abyss himself came, he was not wrong.

“Then I'm leaving.” The middle-aged man's face was expressionless, his Arcane staff already peeking out from his robe.

He was also an ordinary Arcanist, but perhaps he could persuade some former colleagues to show mercy to Lord Eastern Abyss.

The current Arcane Association was simply not worthy of their continued service.

A gentle breeze blew, and the middle-aged man flew into the air, using Levitation.

Dopa looked at the empty doorway and picked up the bread from the ground.

His gaze was unfocused, unconsciously rubbing the dust off the bread, wearing away layer after layer.

Even the clean flour was worn flat by him, layer by layer.

The warm scent of wine was slowly spreading throughout the small room.

“Damn it, I'll just go take a look!”

Dopa quickly got up, rummaged out his long-dusty Arcane staff, and then solemnly pinned a golden credential to his chest.

The Saintess Church taught everyone to have love and benevolence.

Dopa didn't understand what love and benevolence were.

But he understood right and wrong.

He understood gratitude.

Let the wine warm; he'd drink to his heart's content when he returned!

Such scenes played out one after another in several corners of the city.

The righteous are often found among the humble.

“Kaidi, you're here too?”

“Dora, I didn't expect you to…”

“Dopa??”

“Don't look at me, why are you looking at me?”

Dopa pouted unhappily, converged with the crowd, and flew towards the Arcane Association.

Meng Yun faced the two Arcane Envoys with a normal expression: “Hand over those who practice Hellfire, and I will give you a quick death.”

Since they had already stepped into the Arcane Envoy realm, they must have pledged allegiance to the demon seed.

Before Meng Yun, there was no way out for them.

However, Meng Yun's answer was their disdainful sneer.

Countless Arcanists and Arcane Masters flew out of the ruins, looking at Meng Yun, who was at the Arcane Master level, with disdainful expressions on their faces.

“Damn it, he's just an Arcane Master, why is he so arrogant?”

“Exactly, let's kill him quickly and go back to sleep. The fallen woman I just found, that taste, tsk tsk…”

“Um, do you guys feel that his scepter and pet seem to be…”

“Bullshit! What if external power is strong? Can he still fight above his level?!”

Meng Yun's face was expressionless, and a peak sixth-level Wind Blade, amplified by the hell scepter, was directly unleashed.

Sixth-level became seventh-level.

Unconditionally increasing by one level, the hell scepter was that powerful.

Seventh-level was already an Arcane Envoy level attack.

“Haha, a mere sixth-level Wind Blade, can it still hurt an Arcane Envoy?”

“A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating himself!”

The Wind Blade went straight for the head of one of the Arcane Envoys.

That Arcane Envoy, looking at the rapidly enlarging Wind Blade before him, had a disdainful smile on his lips, and casually raised his hand to cast a defensive shield.

Seventh-level, it's enough.

“Sizzle—!”

The seventh-level shield was directly cut through, not even lasting a single exchange.

It pierced through his palm and continued up his arm.

Half of his shoulder was thus cleanly cut off by Meng Yun.

The entire process was smooth and fluid, so much so that when the change occurred, the sneer on the Arcane Envoy's face had not yet faded.

“Ugh ugh ugh…

Ah ah ah—!”

In the night sky, the Arcane Envoy's shrill scream echoed.

It sent shivers down one's spine.
