Chapter 2744: Misfortune

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wu Yan glanced at the teleportation passage and said, “Fang Heng has special abilities that allow him to disguise himself as a scholar of the sacred study without being seen through. It seems you don’t possess such abilities.”

“It’s too late to worry about that now.”

Wu Yan did not loosen his grip as he continued, “To be blunt, with your current abilities, you won’t be able to help Fang Heng. Rather than adding a burden inside, it’s better to stay here.”

Ji Xiaobo hesitated, unable to come up with a rebuttal at the moment.

Meanwhile, Tang Chuji spoke up, “The teleportation passage has a time limit. It will dissipate in an hour. If Fang Heng isn’t out by then, he’ll be trapped in the Holy Realm forever.”

Wu Yan shook his head and reiterated, “Then we’ll have to let the passage become inactive. If you go in now, you’re just walking into certain death. Do you understand?”

...

“Alright, no need to rush. I also don’t agree with you going in.”

Bai Mu stepped forward, gently patting Ji Xiaobo’s shoulder in reassurance. He continued, “Don’t make the situation worse. Fang Heng might just be temporarily tied up. If you force your way in, you could end up ruining things for him, and that would truly harm him.”

“Fine, since we can’t enter the teleportation passage, we only have one option left—breaking into the Mist Temple. Everyone, let’s get moving.”

Bai Mu glanced at the teleportation passage again, “If Fang Heng isn’t in danger, he knows our next move and will cooperate with us on the other side.”

“You two stay here and watch over the passage. We’ll go break through the grotto’s passage. The sooner we open it, the sooner we can help Fang Heng.”

“Alright,”

Ji Xiaobo agreed, understanding Bai Mu’s reasoning. He and Tang Chuji stayed behind, watching as Bai Mu and the others left.

[Hint: The player enters a special area-Holy Realm.]

[Hint: The player is affected by unknown negative effects…]

[Hint: Detection shows that the player possesses sacred study; the player is immune to some negative effects in the current state.]

The Holy Realm.

Fang Heng materialized in the center of an empty square.

D*mn!

It was a one-way teleportation passage.

This was completely different from what he had planned. Since the teleportation passage didn’t allow him to return, he couldn’t send any messages to Ji Xiaobo or the others.

Just as he was wondering whether he should log off and contact Ji Xiaobo as quickly as possible, a group of Holy Court guards who were patrolling the square approached him.

The leader of the guards looked at Fang Heng coldly and spoke, “Is it just you?”

“What?”

“I asked, is it only you who passed the trial?”

“Yes.” Fang Heng responded and asked, “Is this the Holy Realm?”

“Indeed. Welcome to the Holy Realm, fortunate one who passed the trial. Please follow us.”

The guards led Fang Heng into a palace building behind the square and into a reception room to take a brief rest.

Fang Heng’s senses scanned the surroundings.

The holy power fluctuations in the Holy Realm were intense, at least ten times stronger than in the lower realms.

It probably wasn’t suitable for demonic seeds to fight here.

Moreover, from what he could tell, the Holy Realm didn’t show signs of losing control.

Not good.

Bai Mu and the others could potentially clash with the inhabitants of the Holy Realm if they forced their way in.

If that happened, the ripple from the demonic seed would likely spread further.

Fang Heng needed to find a way to contact them immediately.

As he was thinking about logging off, the door to the reception room suddenly opened from the outside.

“Fang Bai.”

A large, muscular figure entered, dressed in holy battle armor. His gaze was sharp, exuding a dangerous aura as he locked eyes with Fang Heng.

“I am Fan En, the commander of the Holy Guard of the Starry Temple.”

“Greetings, Commander Fan En.”

Fang Heng cupped his fists in a respectful gesture.

Fan En looked at him with a sharp, scrutinizing gaze, “As far as I know, the Mist Temple hasn’t planned any trials recently. How did you manage to pass the trial?”

“The trial cave was attacked by the Shadow Alliance’s forces. The commander of the Holy Knights, Sir Argyll, was ambushed by the enemy. He helped me open the trial passage to enter the Holy Realm. Sir Argyll hoped that the Holy Realm would send reinforcements to assist the Mist Temple in repelling the enemy.”

“I see…” Fan En’s gaze intensified, his eyes becoming sharper. “So the trial zone was attacked… What happened to Commander Argyll?”

“Commander Argyll sacrificed himself.”

“Sacrificed himself?”

Fan En’s expression shifted, a frown deepening on his face, “Argyll was no weakling. With his strength, it would be difficult for him to die so easily in the trial cave. What exactly happened in the cave? Tell me everything, without leaving out a word!”

Fang Heng recounted the situation, making some alterations to the story. He replaced Argyll’s actions, stating that the commander had drawn the enemy away and then perished in mutual destruction, sealing the passage behind him.

“Strange…”

Fan En’s suspicion only deepened as he listened to Fang Heng’s explanation.

Who had the power to force Argyll into sacrificing himself to ensure the destruction of the passage?

“I see.”

As Fang Heng took out the trial key given by Argyll, Fan En’s suspicion seemed to lessen slightly, “You have some skill, to pass the Holy Realm Trial under these circumstances.”

“It was just luck,” Fang Heng humbly nodded and cupped his fists. “Commander, the Mist Temple is in urgent need. Please allow me to join the reinforcement team heading there to assist.”

“I have my arrangements. You just need to do your part,” Fan En replied, signaling to one of the Holy Realm guards. He whispered something to him, and the guard quickly left the reception room to make arrangements.

Fang Heng cupped his fists again, “If there’s any way I can be of help, please do not hesitate to involve me.”

Fan En shot a cold glance at Fang Heng and retorted, “Are people from the lower realm always so unrestrained?”

Fang Heng immediately fell silent, inwardly thinking it was a pity.

Fan En seemed to be extremely suspicious of him.

The original plan had been to somehow sneak into the reinforcement team for the Mist Temple. Once there, Fang Heng would follow the team back to the lower realm, and then work from the inside to help the demonic seed enter the Holy Realm.

Fang Heng continued, “I heard that the Holy Realm is under martial law right now?”

“Mm.”

Fan En paused for a moment, then said, “There have been some events happening in the Holy Realm, but they have nothing to do with you. Since you’ve passed the trial, stay here temporarily for now. Don’t leave in the meantime.”

“Understood,” Fang Heng responded, then cautiously asked, “I also heard that it’s possible to advance to master-level sacred study here in the Holy Realm?”

Fang Heng had researched sacred study in advance.

Starting from the grandmaster level, advancement in the sacred study could only be completed in the Holy Realm.

Theoretically, there should also be a way to advance to master-level sacred study in the Holy Realm.

Fan En looked at him, “Why? Are you in such a hurry?”

“I just don’t want to waste time.”

“Very well. Keep that ambition,” Fan En said, appearing to praise him, though his face remained expressionless. He gestured toward another Holy Realm servant next to him and said, “If you’re serious about advancing, he’ll take you to the Temple of Zeus for some time of study. There, you can advance your master-level sacred study and continue your Holy Spirit training.”

“Thank you, Sir.”
