1326 God’s Punishment
A holy weapon!
It was actually a holy weapon!
Even though he already had some guesses in his heart, Fang Heng could not help but be overjoyed when he saw the attribute of the Book of Oaths!
This was the second time he had obtained holy weapon equipment. The first time was the Shrine of Bones, and the second was the Holy Court’s holy weapon, the Book of Oaths.
There was no doubt that the Book of Oaths was worthy of being called a holy weapon based on its four additional skills!
Moreover, he had yet to pass the Book of Oaths’ full check. There were still some skills in the Book of Oaths that had yet to be awakened, so there should still be room for improvement in his strength.
“Buzz…”
After binding the holy weapon, the book that was originally stained with dust emitted rings of golden light.
The Book of Oaths’ remnant chapter that was lying quietly in Fang Heng’s backpack was attracted by the Book of Oaths. It flew out of his hand and circled twice in the air before being absorbed by the Book of Oaths.
Fang Heng lowered his head and carefully checked the game log.
Currently, there were only 16 remnant chapters left in the Book of Oaths, and there was still a remnant chapter identification rune in the process of being generated.
In the hall, the followers were still clearing the rubble in the collapsed hall to find survivors. Suddenly, they noticed the Holy Light fluctuations behind them and raised their heads to search.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Fang Heng.
The Holy Paladin Johann also noticed the rising Holy Light and looked at Fang Heng.
That was…
Seeing the book in Fang Heng’s hand emitting a dark golden light, Johann’s face revealed an extremely shocked expression.
Book of Oaths!
It was actually a Book of Oaths!
It was a holy weapon that only elders who were once archbishops were allowed to touch.
It had always been worshipped by the elders of the Holy Court.
Why would it appear here? It seemed to have been controlled by this follower in front of him.
That’s right!
Communicating with the holy realm!
He should have thought of it earlier!
Johann suddenly recalled what Fang Heng had just said.
Opening the holy realm required the Book of Oaths’ strength.
The various elders of the Elders Council were here to assist the Book of Oaths to open the passage to the holy realm!
Johann stared at Fang Heng with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
During God’s punishment just now, only Fang Shuo alone survived, and now, the Book of Oaths automatically belonged to this follower.
Could this be God’s will?
Was this follower chosen by God?
For a moment, Johann was bewildered.
Fang Heng used the Book of Oaths to sense the approximate location of the remaining dozen or so remnant chapters that were scattered outside. Then, with a flip of his hand, the Book of Oaths disappeared from his palm.
He was too lazy to retrieve them one by one. When the time came, he would just use the Book of Oaths’ destruction function to slowly restore them.
When he raised his head again, Fang Heng finally noticed the probing gazes around him.
Johann had ten thousand questions in his heart that he wanted to ask Fang Heng. Before he could ask them, a sound suddenly came from the corner of the ceiling.
“Ka ka, ka…”
He looked up and saw that the ceiling in the corner had slightly loosened, and small gravel kept falling from above.
“Not good, it might collapse. Retreat outside!”
Johann frowned and shouted for everyone to leave the room.
“Boom! Boom!!”
As soon as everyone left the hall, several huge rocks fell from the corners of the room, sending dust flying.
Looking up again, there was a big hole that led to the outside world.
Mo Jiawei looked down from the hole.
When Yimamu saw the head poking out of the hole, his eyes immediately lit up. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, “Mr. Mo! Mr. Mo, we’re here!”
…
On the Holy Mountain, the rescue operation was carried out in an orderly manner.
The other two judges who had managed to escape also rushed to the Holy Mountain to meet up with Jerymaine.
The situation was very bad. They judged that most of the buildings in the cathedral had collapsed, and the chances of survivors were extremely slim.
“I found something! Come and help! There’s an entrance here! Someone is still alive!”
“Someone is alive!”
“Here! Come here!”
Noticing that Mo Jiawei had opened up a tunnel, a commotion immediately broke out around them. Judge Jerymaine also called for the rescue personnel beside him to help dig the tunnel.
Soon, everyone was busy extending a rope ladder down from the entrance of the cave.
Holy Paladin Johann led the group of people and climbed up the ladder one by one.
Jerymaine immediately called for the Holy Paladin Johann to explain the situation to him.
Mo Jiawei saw Fang Heng climbing up the rope ladder from below and immediately gave him a look. He quickly walked to his side and whispered to him.
“What’s going on? Why did you make such a big deal out of it?” Mo Jiawei looked at the ruins and then at Fang Heng who was limping forward. He was surprised and asked, “Are you injured?”
Mo Jiawei felt that something was amiss.
Would he be injured?
“Yes, there was an accident.”
Fang Heng replied in a low voice and scanned the surroundings, “We’ve got the goods. Think of a way to escape.”
Mo Jiawei’s eyes lit up and he gave Fang Heng a thumbs up, “Awesome.”
A large number of rescue personnel from the Holy Court were gathered in the square. When they saw that Fang Heng was seriously injured, a priest immediately came over for emergency treatment.
Soon, more and more people gathered around and began to ask questions. They were all eager to know what had happened in the Holy Court.
On the other side, after listening to Johann’s story, the three judges looked surprised.
The three of them looked at each other and then looked at Fang Heng, who had crawled out from the ruins.
God’s punishment?
The chosen one?
The whole story sounded too shocking, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.
A Holy Paladin walked forward with a pained expression and said in a deep voice, “Judge, we’ve just searched the hall below the ruins and found the remains of two elders of the Elders Council. Most of the remaining areas have been buried by the ruins. The search and rescue work is still in progress. I’m afraid it’s not going to end well.”
The judges exchanged glances with each other, their eyes revealing unconcealable grief.
Archbishop Karkilla had died first, and now God’s punishment had descended. The entire Holy Court, including the Elders Council, had been completely destroyed.
The Holy Court had never had such a dark moment since its establishment.
In the crowd, an elite Holy Paladin, Balzan, had a gloomy expression. He took half a step forward and said, “Judge, we don’t know where this Fang Shuo came from. He was the only survivor at the scene. Forgive me for being blunt, but I’m afraid there’s something wrong with him. We can’t take his words seriously. We still need to carry out more verification.”
The judges fell silent again.
Jerymaine nodded and said, “Your suspicion is reasonable. Let me ask that follower if he is hiding anything.”
The judge and the rest of the people walked toward Fang Heng.
Fang Heng noticed them and immediately stopped talking to Mo Jiawei.
“Follower, please follow us.”
Jerymaine led Fang Heng and the others to a quiet area on the side. He opened his Holy Light barrier and asked, “Follower, our next conversation is very important. I hope you don’t hide anything.”
