1308 The Great Battle Is Near
Tang Mingyue lowered her head and recalled carefully, “Yes, I have some impression of it. The Book of Oaths is a sacred object of the Holy Court. Theoretically, it should be stored in the Holy Court’s headquarters. There’s news that the Book of Oaths is one of the Holy Court’s holy weapons on this continent. It hides an extremely powerful ability. The Holy Court can use the strength of the Book of Oaths to connect to the holy realm.”
Connecting to the holy realm?
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
It shouldn’t be to that extent.
If it could really connect to the holy realm, the Holy Court would not have been suppressed by the royal family for so many years and could not develop.
Regardless of whether the Book of Oaths belonged to the holy realm’s domain or not, he could now confirm that the Book of Oaths did not only contain a page of the remnant chapter. It was very likely that the rest of the pages of the Book of Oaths had been left in the Holy Court.
There was hope!
Fang Heng could not help but rub his fists.
If everything went smoothly, he would think of a way to obtain the Book of Oaths and use the remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths to continuously absorb strength from the abyssal demon. At that time, not only would he be able to weaken the abyssal demon, but he would also be able to continuously increase the power of the sacred tree, allowing it to quickly enter the next stage!
A win-win situation!
“Mingyue, help me contact Ed’s team. I need to know everything about the Book of Oaths. The more, the better.”
Tang Mingyue nodded when she saw Fang Heng’s serious expression and replied, “Okay, I’ll hint to them now and get Ed’s offline team to start investigating immediately.”
“Inform me immediately if there’s any news. Leave the rest of the materials for now. We’ll go back.”
Fang Heng nodded and left with Tang Mingyue.
He could temporarily stop making the enlightenment stone replica. He would first give the plague aura to Qiu Yaokang to study. Qiu Yaokang should be able to make more discoveries.
…
The abyssal demon had awakened and was struggling to break free from the seal left behind by the Saints. However, most people did not know about this.
The night gradually fell.
In the wilderness, the royal guards led by Xiao Yun were approaching the outskirts of Hani City.
Looking at the vine forest that was gradually revealed in the distance, Xiao Yun’s expression was unusually solemn.
Compared to last time, the area covered by the vines had clearly expanded.
“The sacred tree…”
Xiao Yun muttered to himself.
The team slowly stopped moving forward.
Xiao Yun looked at the people from the Alchemy Society who were slowly walking towards him and said in a deep voice, “Ovian, we’ve arrived. The sacred tree area is right in front of us. You can move now.”
Overlooking the forest that was surrounded by layers of green vines in the distance, Ovian’s eyes also flashed with surprise.
He had always heard that there was a sacred tree in the Land of Plague that Fang Heng had summoned through field magic.
The sacred tree was extremely powerful. It could even break through the entire Hani City in just half an hour.
This was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
There was actually someone who could control such a large area of magic?
How terrifying was Fang Heng’s spiritual power?
No, it was impossible for anyone to do it!
Unless he borrowed the strength of some kind of holy weapon.
If he killed Fang Heng and seized the holy weapon in his hand…
Seeing that Ovian was silent, Xiao Yun was a little impatient. He frowned and asked, “How is it? Any other questions?”
Ovian came back to his senses and nodded, “I need to set up an alchemy magic array. I don’t want to be disturbed during the process.”
Xiao Yun coldly said, “You can start now. No one will disturb you. Unless I die.”
Ovian raised his hand and gestured. More than twenty high-level members of the Alchemy Society behind him walked forward one after another and gathered in a circle to set up the alchemy array.
Xiao Yun also called his assistant over and whispered a few words into his ear.
“Yes, Grand Commander.”
The deputy left in a hurry after receiving the order.
Xiao Yun slowly turned around and looked into the depths of the forest, his gaze becoming colder.
In the dark, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at this team.
From the moment the Empire’s team set off, Li Xue’s team sent out hundreds of players to scout for information. Many of the scouts had even followed them to the outskirts of Hani City.
Every move of Xiao Yun’s team was under the control of the players.
“Commander Ed, that’s the president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian. They’re already setting up the magic array. This is a good opportunity. Should we make a move?”
“There’s no hurry. Let’s wait and observe.”
On a hillside shrouded in vines, Ed raised his binoculars to observe the enemy.
The Empire had come in a menacing manner this time. According to the latest information from Li Xue, other than the royal guards, the Alchemy Society, and the Holy Court, there was also the private army that Tang Wu had been managing for many years.
One of them was even an Empire’s sword saint.
“But…”
The subordinate was a little anxious. He could not help but raise his head to look at the Empire’s army that was preparing to set up camp in the distance.
The army had already spread out to find a place to set up camp. The Alchemy Society had also cleared out an area to draw a magic array. The entire team seemed to be in chaos, so now was a very good opportunity to attack.
“Don’t worry.” Ed was very calm. He said, “The offline command team has already given us an analysis model. Tang Wu is coming in full force this time. It’s not the best plan to face him head-on.”
“Then when do we make our move?”
Without waiting for Ed to answer, a cold voice came from behind him, “They did it on purpose. The chaos you see now is their deliberate opening. Xiao Yun has long noticed our secret surveillance. He wants to lure us into attacking.”
They turned around and saw a valiant female player walking towards them with a dozen players.
Ed put down his binoculars and nodded at her. He said, “Younica, it’s good that you’re here. From now on, the command of this battle will be fully entrusted to you. My team and I will cooperate fully.”
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Younica.
She was the elder sister of the president of the Holy Bunch Pavilion.
Younica’s golden curls draped over her back, making her exquisite face even more outstanding. Her every move exuded charm.
Among all the player teams in the barbarian realm, the Holy Bunch Game Guild had gathered the best individual combat strength.
In terms of ability, both Younica’s personal combat ability and commanding ability were top-notch.
Younica was originally cultivating herself in a special space. She had just been contacted by the player team and rushed over.
This battle was extremely crucial. Everyone was on the same boat, and Ed was very willing to hand over the command to someone more suitable.
“Thank you, but I won’t stand on ceremony.” Younica took over the command and nodded, “Before coming here, I’ve discussed it with Li Xue. This time, we’ll choose to lure the enemy deeper. When they enter the sacred tree area, we’ll cooperate with the sacred tree’s strength to deal a fatal blow to the royal guards!”
“Yes, alright.”
Younica waved her hand, gesturing for the dozen or so players she had brought to set up the surroundings. She looked around and found it a little strange, “Why don’t I see Lord Fang Heng?”
Fang Heng…
Speaking of this, Ed’s eyelids twitched.
The Land of Plague was about to face an unprecedented crisis. Their hometown might even be overturned!
However, Fang Heng was nowhere to be seen.
