Chapter 419 Fang Yu Arrives!
Song Liuge’s face was expressionless as she asked, “Are you ready?”
“Holy Maiden, everything is prepared. We’re just waiting for you to start the ceremony,” the two purple-robed figures replied in unison.
Song Liuge nodded and slowly walked inside.
Soon, she arrived at the main hall.
In the center of the hall stood a table with dozens of talismans arranged in a circle, and between these talismans were nine burning candles.
Song Liuge approached the table and took out half a talisman from her body.
The other half had already been dissolved into mineral water using a special technique and consumed by Fang Yu.
Now, she only needed to burn the remaining half of the talisman over the candle to simultaneously burn Fang Yu’s entire soul!
Song Liuge held the half talisman, and hesitation appeared in her beautiful eyes despite her otherwise expressionless face.
After several encounters with Fang Yu, she discovered he wasn’t as vicious and cruel as the Grand Archbishop had described.
On the contrary, she found Fang Yu to be quite an interesting person.
But according to the Grand Archbishop, Fang Yu was the most evil and wicked person, whose existence would make even the Witch God feel uneasy.
Killing Fang Yu was the Witch God’s will!
With this thought, Song Liuge’s gaze became resolute.
Since being chosen as the Holy Maiden, she had been the daughter of the Witch God.
She could never disobey the Witch God’s will.
“Holy Maiden, we can begin the ceremony now.”
At this moment, the two purple-robed figures behind her spoke.
Song Liuge’s eyes were determined as she slowly extended the half talisman over the candle.
“If your mind is not firm, the effect of the spell will be greatly reduced! I should have told you this earlier.”
Suddenly, an elderly male voice echoed in Song Liuge’s mind.
The Grand Archbishop!
Song Liuge’s heart trembled violently.
“Grand Archbishop, I…”
“Step back and keep the talisman safe. I’ve sent people to perform the ceremony for you,” the Grand Archbishop said.
“Understood.” Song Liuge lowered her head, put away the talisman, and stepped back.
“As the Holy Maiden of our sect, why do you waver on this matter!?” The Grand Archbishop’s tone suddenly became severe. “This Fang Yu is the evil one whom our Witch God has specifically identified for elimination! If he lives, he will become the greatest obstacle to our Witch God Sect’s return to glory! I’ve told you this once before, why do you still not understand!?”
Song Liuge kept her head down, her delicate body trembling slightly as she said, “Grand Archbishop, after several encounters, I found that Fang Yu isn’t as you described…”
“Foolish! How could someone like Fang Yu let you easily see his true face!?” the Grand Archbishop scolded. “You’ve been our sect’s Holy Maiden for ten years, yet your mind remains so childish. You disappoint me greatly!”
“I’m sorry, Grand Archbishop.” Song Liuge knelt prostrate on the ground.
The Grand Archbishop was silent for several seconds, then said, “Enough. Your nature makes you unsuitable to be the Holy Maiden. I’ve recently found a new candidate who will soon replace you.”
“Understood,” Song Liuge replied.
“Additionally, the Witch God Sect has gained a new ally recently. She will come to your location, and you can meet her shortly,” the Grand Archbishop said.
“…The Xuanming Clan?” Song Liuge asked.
“No, a new ally. They call themselves the Immortal Clan,” the Grand Archbishop said. “They’ve provided a type of pill that enhances strength when consumed. I’ve had many of our followers take it, and the effects are indeed impressive. You should take one as well.”
“Alright,” Song Liuge answered.
The Grand Archbishop’s voice disappeared.
Song Liuge remained kneeling motionless on the ground for several seconds before standing up.
Her face was slightly pale, but she felt relieved inside.
The title of Holy Maiden had hung over her head for ten years.
During that time, there were many things she couldn’t do.
If not for this mission, she wouldn’t have been able to travel far from the Witch God Sect headquarters.
After experiencing the outside world, she realized how dim her previous life had been.
If she could choose again, she would rather be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
So, the Grand Archbishop’s decision actually made her happy.
Once the title of Holy Maiden was removed, she wouldn’t need to be so cautious anymore and could do many things she couldn’t do before.
“Holy Maiden, the Grand Archbishop said he has sent people…” At this moment, the two purple-robed figures stepped forward and said.
“I know. Let’s wait here,” Song Liuge replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, three figures emerged from the wild woods outside the building.
Two of them wore black robes, while the third had black cloth wrapped around their head. This figure was smaller in stature, appearing to be a woman.
“Your Witch God Sect’s teleportation formation is somewhat similar to our Immortal Clan’s,” the woman said.
“Hehe, perhaps a thousand years ago, we were indeed one family,” one of the black-robed figures laughed.
“Perhaps,” the woman responded, but her eyes clearly revealed contempt and disgust.
How dare these lowly humans claim connection with the Immortal Clan?
The three walked to the building and entered.
“Holy Maiden,” the two black-robed men greeted Song Liuge with a casual tone.
They were Black Archbishops, second only to the Grand Archbishop in the Witch God Sect, so naturally they didn’t need to show excessive respect to Song Liuge.
“The Grand Archbishop sent us to perform the ceremony in your place,” one of the black-robed men stepped forward.
Song Liuge handed over the half talisman.
The black-robed man took it, walked to the table, and silently recited an incantation.
“Soul Burning, begin!”
After a moment, he shouted loudly and placed the half talisman over the candle.
“Whoosh!”
The talisman instantly caught fire and burned to ashes at an extremely fast rate.
This process of the talisman being destroyed symbolized the burning of the soul connected to the other half.
Song Liuge stared at this scene, her eyes flickering.
Fang Yu had made a strong impression on her during class today.
From now on, she would never see Fang Yu again.
…
In his apartment, Fang Yu, who had been lying in bed, suddenly sat up.
The empty soul he had created suddenly burst into flames and disappeared in an extremely short time!
But he still managed to capture that trace of soul power transmitted through the air.
“This time, you won’t escape,” Fang Yu’s face revealed a cold smile.
…
After the half talisman had completely burned to ashes, the black-robed man said in his heart, “Grand Archbishop, the ceremony is complete. There was no unusual reaction. Fang Yu’s soul has been burned. If you’re concerned, you can send someone to check on Fang Yu’s condition.”
“Very well. Now introduce the Holy Maiden to the person from the Immortal Clan,” the Grand Archbishop said.
“Yes.”
The black-robed man walked back from the table, looked at the woman, then at Song Liuge, and introduced, “This is Lady Yan Yao from the Immortal Clan. She represents the Immortal Clan in establishing cooperation with our Witch God Sect.”
“Lady Yan Yao…” Song Liuge looked at the woman before her.
“This is our Witch God Sect’s Holy Maiden,” the black-robed man then introduced to Yan Yao.
“Holy Maiden, I see.”
Yan Yao nodded and removed the black cloth wrapped around her head, revealing a third eye on her forehead.
Seeing this eye, Song Liuge’s expression changed.
Yan Yao wore a faint smile as she poured out three thumb-sized black pills from a small gourd bottle.
“One pill each. It will enhance your physical body and strength to the limit,” Yan Yao handed the three pills to the two purple-robed men and Song Liuge.
Since the Grand Archbishop had given instructions in advance, the other two purple-robed men didn’t hesitate and swallowed the pills immediately.
Song Liuge, however, held the pill with hesitation in her eyes.
At this moment, the two who had taken the pills let out muffled groans.
“Ah…”
They cried out in pain as their bodies visibly swelled, their faces covered with bulging veins.
After several dozen seconds, they stopped screaming. By then, their bodies had expanded like meat balls, their eyes glowing red, looking completely inhuman, more like beasts.
Was this pill really just for enhancing strength?
“…” Song Liuge looked at Yan Yao, then at the other two black-robed men.
“Holy Maiden, by the Grand Archbishop’s order, you should take the pill now,” the black-robed man said with a cold smile.
“They’ve clearly lost their minds! There’s something wrong with these pills!” Song Liuge’s face turned pale as she spoke.
“You’re right, and that’s exactly the effect the Grand Archbishop wants… From now on, everyone in the Witch God Sect below the rank of Black Archbishop must take this pill,” the black-robed man said emotionlessly. “This way, you’ll all be more obedient.”
Hearing these words, Song Liuge’s heart sank to the bottom!
She never imagined the Grand Archbishop would do such a thing! To turn the sect’s followers into such monsters!?
“Take it quickly. Don’t disobey the Grand Archbishop’s orders,” the black-robed man urged.
“No, I can’t…” Song Liuge shook her head, her face bloodless.
“You have no choice.” The black-robed man’s face suddenly turned cold as he stepped forward.
Nearby, Yan Yao watched the scene with amused eyes.
She loved watching humans kill each other.
The black-robed man took a few steps to reach Song Liuge, grabbed her hand, and forcibly pushed the pill in her hand into her mouth.
“Bang!”
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky, landing on the open ground in front of the building with a muffled sound.
Everyone in the building turned to look back.
“So this is the headquarters of your Witch God Sect? It’s a bit shabby, isn’t it?” Fang Yu surveyed the surroundings as he walked into the building.
