I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 564 - 564: 532. Three Holy Pastors

Furthermore,

After the release of the A-level Spiritual Clothes Black Moon Tide, the entire hall seemed to have sunk into a mire.

Whether living or non-living, all movements became sluggish.

Only Obrian, in a flash, had already swept out of the hall doors, turning into a streak of dark light rushing toward the distant high-rise. The ancient clock on the building's rooftop was about to strike six o'clock sharp.

The second-hand returned to due north in an instant—a spatial vortex suddenly opened from the center of the clock face.

That was a Space Gate opened by the field of the Moon Holy Skill.

It could allow him to directly teleport to the nearby Church Court branch, thus escaping certain death.

In a fraction of a second, he was within a hair's breadth of the Space Gate, and Obrian's emotions swung from panic to joy.

But unknown to him, a Miao Blade with a slender blade and a clear red handle had suspended itself in the air in front of the clock.

Without waiting for Obrian to react, a woman in a gorgeous scarlet long dress quietly emerged from behind the Miao Blade, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly.

King's Will descended, and Obrian immediately felt the urge to kneel, his legs bending slightly, and his form consequently slowed.

Just before entering the hall, Xia Feng had detected the spatial point at the clock tower, so he had thrown the Gui Blade onto the clock face—it could work with the Four Symbols Formation to seal off all the enemy's retreat routes.

"Buzz—!"

Life and death were but a moment away, and Obrian had no time to react when three strikes of lightning, carrying a terrifying intent to kill, directly penetrated his head, neck, and heart—!

The indifferent expression on Obrian's aged face now twisted into a fierce snarl; he growled and roared, wanting to take Xia Feng down with him, as seven more bolts of lightning instantly struck from behind, surging into his flesh.

His form stiffened mid-air, and the next second, it violently exploded.

Instant kill!

A strand of Residual Spirit rose from the lightning and flames, Xia Feng raised his hand as he planned to use Miss Mu's Spirit Word to hypnotize the Residual Spirit, to see if he could extract any information.

Unexpectedly, the semi-transparent surface of the Residual Spirit lit up with densely packed scarlet lines, resembling countless streams converging at the brow, flickering with a △-shaped symbol.

The triangular symbol, like a key turning in a lock, rotated clockwise once.

Xia Feng's expression changed slightly as he grasped the Miao Blade and rapidly retreated.

"Boom—!!" The Residual Spirit exploded like a sun, radiating boundless light, and the world was filled with white brilliance; Xia Feng squinted his eyes, and it took a while before the light faded.

He could actually self-destruct... Swearing inwardly, he grew more puzzled, "But this symbol... why does it look so familiar?"

Soon Xia Feng remembered, the symbol was at the very center of the operation interface for the game of Life Roulette for the Sumeru Throne.

The referee conducting the game also wore a mask with that △ symbol.

Damn it, could the person backing Obrian be involved with the whole Sumeru Throne affair?

A surge of doubt filled Xia Feng's heart as he turned his gaze back towards the hall.

The Purple Mist within the hall had completely dissipated; the two Holy Daughters were pale, leaning back against each other, their shoulders relaxed, having survived the ordeal, Jiang Qiue quietly released a sigh of relief.

Yet feeling the woman's back pressed against hers, she frowned and sidestepped to make space.

As Cha Naixue lost her support, she subconsciously stumbled backwards a few steps but didn't get angry. Instead, she just smiled faintly, "Saintess Qiu E, I wasn't wrong, was I? He's much stronger than you imagined."

Jiang Qiue pursed her lips and remained silent, only lifting her head to look at the blood-dressed woman re-entering the threshold of the hall.

Indeed, she had already greatly overestimated Xia Feng and the masked person, but she hadn't expected her imagination to be limited, not Xia Feng's capabilities.

At just 19 years old, he was already capable of easily defeating lesser Venerables.

One could only say, isn't he just worthy of being called Sirius?

It's just a pity... that this so-called Sirius is my enemy! Jiang Qiu'e's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, the humiliation of the previous night vivid in her mind, and she wasn't about to be deterred from seeking revenge just because Xia Feng was so talented.

Xia Feng, just you wait, I shall— Her thoughts were cut off as Jiang Qiue's expression stiffened, and she clenched her thighs tightly under her green dress, a sudden urge to urinate making her scalp tingle. Her ethereal eyes lifted coldly to look at Xia Feng.

After punishing Jiang Qiue, who was thinking of betrayal at that moment, Xia Feng didn't bother with her anymore and went straight to Olivia.

Olivia didn't run away; instead, she was squatting down, confusedly fiddling with the corpse of a white cat that had already breathed its last.

"Zheng—" The bright blade of the long knife quietly came to rest beside her neck. She stopped moving the cat corpse as Xia Feng's indifferent voice rang out from above, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Olivia's scarlet pupils lifted slightly: "I'm not a waste like Obrian. If I wanted to run away, you couldn't kill me."

"?" Xia Feng was taken aback. Where do you get your confidence? Was it from Cha Naixue?

But seeing her serious and calm demeanor, it didn't seem like she was acting. Xia Feng was suspicious:

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Olivia stood up and said indifferently, "Last night, I received a message from Pastor Moluo, asking me to cooperate with everything Obrian was going to do."

"However, what surprised me was that Obrian's objective turned out to be those two wastes." Olivia's hoarse voice carried excitement as she twisted the corners of her mouth, "And what's more surprising..."

Her scarlet eyes narrowed, staring at Xia Feng: "What surprised me even more, was you and Theresa."

"I must say, you are indeed very strong."

"....." Xia Feng was momentarily at a loss for words. Should I thank you for the compliment?

Pondering, Xia Feng questioned, "Aren't you a Holy Daughter? Do you just do whatever Pastor Moluo tells you to?"

"This pastor is no ordinary pastor."

At this moment, Cha Naixue also came over and explained, "Below the Pope, there are the Three Holy Pastors and the Four Holy Daughters. Below the Holy Pastors, there are the twelve Red Bishops."

"The Moluo pastor she mentioned is one of the Three Holy Pastors, with a status equivalent to that of a Holy Daughter."

"The so-called Holy Pastors are actually shepherds for the Holy Daughters, serving as instructors and even caregivers."

"Olivia was brought up by Molo Saint Shepherd."

Hearing Cha Naixue's explanation, Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully and then turned to Olivia, "Since Molo Saint Shepherd told you to cooperate with Obrian, why did you then suddenly betray him and launch a sneak attack on the White Cat?"

Olivia clicked her tongue mockingly, "Obrian and the White Cat obviously couldn't defeat you, and their plan was about to fail. Only an idiot would continue to associate with them."

"Besides, the soul quality of the White Cat woman isn't worse than Obrian's, which makes her quite suitable for sacrificial purposes."

"....."

Is that how casual you are? Xia Feng's eyes twitched as he looked at the corpse of the cat on the ground, his pupils narrowing slightly, "This seems to be just an ordinary white cat."

"That's because her real body was never here." Olivia kicked the dead cat, her gaze cold, "When my Blood Prison Blade struck her, it swallowed her memories and consciousness, but it didn't absorb her complete soul, indicating that this cat body was just one of her possession techniques."

"This woman has still run away!" Olivia's scarlet eyes brimmed with a killing intent; there has never been someone she wanted to kill who could escape.

Xia Feng frowned, she's gone, huh...

Based on the information so far, Pastor Moluo might be the one who instigated Obrian, or if not, he is someone related, Xia Feng speculated in his heart.

If he was going on to the Black Moon Court, he would have to be careful of this person.

As he pondered, Xia Feng suddenly thought of something and looked at Cha Naixue and Jiang Qiue in confusion, "Speaking of which, who is your instructor or caregiver among the Holy Pastors?"
