Chapter 504: An Unexpectedly Powerful Person in the Pale Cult Branch

Half a day later, the Pale Cult members drove their undead servants to send almost all the frost troll corpses into the gray fog.

Afterwards, they put away the rune stones, the gray fog disappeared, and the entire frost troll tribe returned to its original appearance, except that the corpses on the ground had disappeared.

"Mission accomplished, everyone retreat!" The leading Pale Cult deacon was always alert to the surroundings, and he was relieved until the gray fog disappeared and the rune stones were put away.

He led a group of Pale Cult members and quickly moved away from the ice field defense line.

Lu Kong followed silently.

After leaving the tribe for a distance in a hidden way, a group of Pale Cult members summoned mounts, most of which were skeleton undead creatures.

Some were horses, and some were wolves.

After riding on the mounts, the speed of the Pale Cult members increased greatly.

However, even so, Lu Kong still easily caught up with them with his own speed.

After all, Lu Kong's agility attribute is extremely strong. Even among the fourth-level peak holy spirits, few can compare with him.

These Pale Cult members are only deacons at best. Their mounts are not of particularly high quality, and the speed bonus is not much. Of course, they can't get rid of Lu Kong.

The Pale Cult members kept changing directions and kept erasing their own traces along the way.

They even went back a distance from time to time.

The leading Pale Cult deacon was even more alert, always paying attention to the surroundings to see if anyone was following him.

Not only that, he often asked people to use anti-stealth methods, including but not limited to skills, scrolls, potions, etc.

Unfortunately, Lu Kong's [Shadow Walking] scroll is of the Saint level.

In the entire Orion Novice Continent, Saint-level items are extremely precious.

The Pale Cult often goes out to carry corpses. It is impossible for them to use Saint-level items to reverse stealth every time they go back, right?

Not to mention that the leader is just a deacon, how can he be qualified to use Saint-level items?

Although they were very vigilant, they could not find Lukong from the beginning.

After two days of twists and turns, the Pale Cult members had returned to the icefield defense line long before.

Then they went west and came to a vast primeval forest.

The monsters in the forest were basically above level 35, and the templates were also quite good. The weakest were elites.

From time to time, groups of beasts could be seen passing by.

In the depths of such a forest, a group of Pale Cult members came to a giant tree that more than ten people could hug.

Such giant trees are very common in the entire forest. After all, the trees here are extremely tall, and the tallest is estimated to be a thousand meters high. It is unknown what kind of tree it is.

When they came to the giant tree, the leading Pale Cult deacon stretched out his hand and placed it on a protrusion on the trunk of the giant tree.

Then, the trunk suddenly twisted and a tree hole emerged.

The Pale Cult deacon looked around vigilantly, and then ordered a group of Pale Cult members to enter.

The deacon was the last one to enter, and Lu Kong followed him silently.

A few seconds after Lu Kong entered the tree hole of the giant tree, the trunk squirmed and closed again.

The entire tree hole fell into darkness.

At this moment, a pale light emerged, and the pale sect believer walking in the front held a pale flame in his hand, illuminating the space.

Lu Kong looked around and found that there was a staircase in the tree hole.

He didn't know where it extended.

He looked at the stairs in front of him and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

The Pale Sect branch in Black Stone City was unexpectedly so secretive. The entrance was actually in the tree hole. Who would have thought of this?

And this tree hole actually requires a special way to open it!

If you think about it this way, the Pale Sect branch near Xinghe City is a bit weak. In comparison, the entrance location is much easier to find than its counterparts in Black Stone City.

No wonder the Pale Sect believers near Black Stone City are so arrogant, and Black Stone City still can't find their branch location.

Who can find such a place?

Perhaps because they entered the tree hole, Lu Kong clearly felt that the members of the Pale Cult were much more relaxed.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and began to discuss the experimental results of the new research.

For example, what kind of bones can be used to build bone demons to make bone demons more powerful.

For example, how to trick powerful undead creatures from the underworld into signing a contract to sell themselves.

Another example is how the dark banshee has a body that will not decay and can maintain a certain humidity.

Even the Pale Cult deacon who has been vigilant did not stop their discussion. Instead, he joined in and said a few words about how to make the dark banshee have an incorruptible body, which attracted everyone's cheers.

Lu Kong didn't understand anyway, and they were talking about things like corpse soul grass and corpse raising spells.

The underground passage sometimes went down, sometimes went up, and was extremely curved.

In this underground passage, at their speed, they walked for almost two hours. When Lu Kong was a little speechless, they walked out of this passage.

Outside the passage was an extremely huge underground space.

This space is similar to the Pale Cult branch near Xinghe City. There are also a lot of pyramid buildings inside, and Pale Cult members and undead are everywhere.

Returning here, the leading Pale Cult member immediately smiled.

"Finally back!"

"Yeah, I'm exhausted after so many days of tossing back and forth."

"I have to go back quickly to see if the experiment is completed!"

“…”

The deacon said, “Before leaving, everyone, follow me to see the bishop.”

Naturally, the other members of the Pale Cult had no objection.

This is a necessary procedure for reporting the mission.

This mission requires so many days of travel, and there are so many corpses, so the mission reward must be good.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people rushing to go.

The group quickly moved towards one of the larger pyramids.

Just as they were walking on the road, a bell suddenly rang in the middle of the passage.

The group immediately looked sideways.

“Huh? Is it a gathering signal? What’s going on today?”

“Go and gather quickly to see the situation. Three bells ring, it seems rare. It looks quite urgent.”

The group changed direction and ran towards the center of the branch.

Along the way, Lu Kong saw members of the Pale Cult hurriedly walking out of each pyramid and rushing towards the center.

Soon, the group came to the center of the branch, the square in front of the huge pyramid.

At this moment, the place is already overcrowded, with Pale Cult believers everywhere, and some extremely powerful undead creatures.

On a high platform of the huge pyramid, there were several figures standing.

Lu Kong swept his eyes and found that the auras of these people were very strong.

One of the members of the Pale Cult made Lu Kong frown.

It was a tall figure wearing a white robe, with an indifferent expression and a thin body.

Lu Kong could feel the tremendous and terrifying power contained in this guy.

This aura... is not right?

The fourth-level peak holy spirit probably does not have such a strong aura.

Could it be a demigod?

Lu Kong was a little surprised and doubtful.

That's not right. He didn't meet a demigod in the Xinghe City branch before.

They are both branches, so it doesn't make sense that the Black Stone City branch is stronger.

Moreover, this demigod stood behind an old man and stood with a group of people. He didn't look conspicuous.

Just when Lu Kong was a little confused, the old man in the lead slowly said: "Emergency! Everyone be quiet!"

The members of the Pale Cult, who were originally a little noisy, quieted down and looked up at the old man.

The old man looked solemn and said slowly: "According to the investigation above, the Xinghe City branch has been completely destroyed."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.

Everyone had different expressions, some were horrified, some looked indifferent, and some were gloating.

However, everyone became serious.

Their Black Stone City branch and the Xinghe City branch were about the same in strength. If the Xinghe City branch could be destroyed, then their Black Stone City branch could also be destroyed.

They must know what happened.

The old man did not disappoint everyone's expectations and continued: "According to the incomplete clues we found, the murderer is a Yuanxing player named Lu Kong!"
