Chapter 504: Unexpected Strongman Within the Pale Church Bra

g Bing rubbed his hands with some anticipation: "Father-in-law, what do you think of the equipment"Liu Qiang was also looking forward to watching Lu Kong.Lu Kong nodded. "Well, we can trade now."Lu Ko...After half a day, the followers of the Pale Congregation, driving their undead minions, had delivered nearly all the frost giant corpses into the ash mist.

Afterward, they put away the rune stones. The gray mist vanished, and the Frost Giant tribe returned to its original state, though the corpses on the ground were gone.

The Pale Order's acolyte, who had been on high alert ever since shouting, "Mission accomplished, everyone withdraw!" finally relaxed and put away the rune stone as the gray mist dissipated.

He, accompanied by a throng of pale-faced Disciples, swiftly moved in the direction away from the ice wall defense.

Lu Kong silently followed him.

After leaving the village by a concealed route for some distance, a group of Pale Covenant disciples summoned their steeds, mostly skeletal undead creatures.

Some are horses, and some are like wolves.

After mounting their steeds, the pallid members of the Cult sped up considerably.

However, even so, Lu Kong still easily kept up with them thanks to his own speed.

After all, Lu Kong's agility is extremely powerful. Even a peak fourth-order saint spirit probably wouldn't be able to compare with him.

These members of the Pale Order are not even high-ranking, their mounts aren't particularly high quality, and they don't have much speed bonus. Of course, they can't escape Lu Kong.

The pallid cultists constantly changed direction, erasing their tracks along the way.

Even they would return a distance from time to time.

The members of the Pale Congregation, especially the deacons, were extremely vigilant, constantly watching their surroundings for any signs of being followed.

Besides, he often makes people use countermeasures, including but not limited to skills, scrolls, and potions.

Unfortunately, Lu Kong's [Shadow Walk] scroll is a sacred-grade one.

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

The Pale Order frequently goes out to transport corpses. It's impossible that they have to continuously use sacred-level items to dispel invisibility every time they return, right

Not to mention that he's just a steward, who has the qualifications to use sacred artifacts

Although they were very cautious, they couldn't have possibly discovered Lu Kong from the beginning.

After winding and turning for two days, the followers of the Pale Order had already returned to within the Ice Barrier before.

Then, going west all the way, we reached a vast and primordial forest.

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

From time to time, you can still see herds of animals passing by.

In the depths of such a forest, a group of members of the Pale Order arrived before a giant tree so thick that it took more than ten people to embrace it.

Such giant trees are very common throughout the entire forest, after all, the trees here are exceptionally tall, with the tallest estimated to be a kilometer high. It's unknown what species of tree they are.

Reaching the giant tree, the head acolyte of the Pale Order placed his hand on a protrusion on its trunk.

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

The pallbearer looked around cautiously, then ordered the other pallbearers to go in.

The attendant entered last, while Lu Kong silently followed behind him.

As soon as Lu Kong entered the giant tree's hollow, the trunk started to wiggle and closed up again after just a few seconds.

The entire hollow was plunged into darkness.

Just then, a pale white light appeared. The disciple of the Pale Church at the front held a ball of pale white flame in his hand, illuminating the space.

Lu Kong looked around and found that inside the tree hollow was actually a flight of stairs.

I don't know where it extends to.

He looked at the staircase before him, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This Blackrock City branch of the Pale Order wasn't as obvious as I thought. The entrance was actually hidden in a tree hollow! Who would have guessed

And this tree hole even needs a special way to open it!

Thinking about it this way, the Pale Order branch near Starriver City seems a bit weak. Compared to this Blackrock City's counterpart, its location is much easier to find.

It's no wonder the Pale Order followers near Blackstone City are so arrogant. Blackstone City still hasn't found their branch location.

Who could possibly find this place

Perhaps because they entered the treehole, Lu Kong clearly felt that many members of the Pale Covenant had relaxed a lot.

The crowd buzzed with conversation, discussing the findings of the new research.

For example, what kind of bone can be used to create a Bone Demon, and how can it make the Bone Demon's combat power stronger

For example, how do you trick powerful undead creatures from the Underworld into signing a soul-selling contract with you

For example, how does the Dark Fey possess an incorruptible body that can still maintain some level of moisture

Even the vigilant Inquisitors of the Pale Church did not stop them from discussing, but instead joined in, offering their insights on how to grant the Dark Succubus an incorruptible body. This earned them thunderous applause.

He's talking about stuff I don't understand, like Corpse Soul Grass and necromancy.

The underground passage sometimes goes down, sometimes up, curving in unimaginable ways.

Through such an underground passage, at their pace, they walked for almost two hours. When even the land and air had become speechless with exasperation, they finally emerged from the passage.

Beyond the passage, lay a vast and immense subterranean space.

This space is similar to the previous Pale Order branch near Star River City, with numerous pyramid structures inside. It's filled with Pale Order members and undead throughout.

Back here, the members of the Pale Order at the front immediately smiled.

"Finally back!"

"Yes, it's been so many days going back and forth, I'm exhausted."

"I need to get back and see if the experiment is finished!"

"...."

The butler spoke, "Before you leave, please follow me to see the Bishop."

Other members of the Pale Teaching naturally had no objections.

This is the necessary process for reporting tasks.

This task requires going out for so many days, and the number of corpses is numerous. The reward for this task must be good.

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

A group of people moved quickly toward one of the larger pyramids.

Just as they were walking, the sound of a bell suddenly rang out from the center of the passage.

Everyone suddenly turned to look.

"Hmm Is that a gathering signal Is there something going on today"

"Come quickly to the assembly, and see the situation. Three bells ringing, it seems quite unusual. Judging by this, it appears to be urgent."

One person changed direction and ran toward the center of the department.

Along the way, Lu Kong saw members of the Pale Brotherhood rushing out of each pyramid and heading towards the center.

Soon, the group arrived at the central hall of the department, on the plaza before the towering golden pyramid.

The place is overflowing with people right now. There are followers of the Pale Order everywhere, and some exceptionally powerful undead creatures too.

And on a high platform of the great pyramid, stood several figures.

Lu Kong's gaze swept over, discovering that these people's auras were all extremely powerful.

One pale cultist member made Lu Kong furrow his brows.

That was a tall figure clad in white, with an expressionless face and a gaunt frame.

Lu Kong could feel that this creature contained an immense and terrifying power within its body.

This breath... something's off, isn't it

The aura of a Fourth-Order Peak Holy Spirit wouldn't be this powerful, right

Could it possibly be a demigod

The land and air were somewhat uncertain.

It's not right either. He didn't encounter any demigods at the Xinghe City branch before.

Since they are both branches, there's no reason why the Blackrock City branch should be stronger.

And, this demigod stood behind an elder and with a group of people, he didn't look conspicuous.

Just as Lu Kong was a little confused, the leading elder slowly said, "Emergency situation! Everyone be quiet!"

Originally, the pallid members of the Pale Church were still quite noisy, but they all quieted down and looked up at the elder.

The old man's expression was grave as he slowly said, "According to the investigation above, the Xinghe City branch has been completely destroyed."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar below.

People's expressions were varied. Some wore expressions of fear, some looked indifferent, while others seemed to relish in the misfortune.

However, everyone got serious.

Their Heishicheng and Xinghecheng branches are about equal in strength. If the Xinghecheng branch can be destroyed, then their Heishicheng branch can also be destroyed.

They need to know what happened.

The elder did not disappoint the expectations of the crowd, and continued: "According to the fragmented clues we found, the murderer is a meta star player named Lu Kong!"ion, which is Lezhao Country.After more than two hours, having crossed the Eastern Continent and the North Sea, the fighter jet successfully arrived in Lezhao Country.The people of this country are al...
