Chapter 2651: Ruins
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Learning the method to seal powerful monsters…”

Trine murmured to himself and soon made a decision, nodding and saying, “Fang Bai, you may not know, but the world we are in was once home to two extremely powerful races. The long-standing conflicts between these two races grew increasingly intense, eventually leading to a massive confrontation. The resulting war led to the complete annihilation of both races, and it also caused severe damage to the entire world.”

“It was the Holy Court that rebuilt the world from the ruins.”

“After establishing itself in this world, the Holy Court discovered that the aftermath of the final battle between the two races had caused the space here to become extremely unstable. Everywhere was filled with intense spatial turbulence, affecting spatial abilities.”

“Additionally, the area where the two races had fought received an enormous shock of power, greatly weakening the dimensional barriers, making it highly dangerous. Large-scale dimensional rifts and dimensional turbulence frequently appeared in that region.”

“But there was also a benefit to this: the area could block most spatial abilities. Therefore, the Holy Realm decided to build a prison here to seal dangerous monsters from lower worlds.”

“High Priest Ron, who is from the Holy Realm, has been responsible for personally overseeing the seals. He has unique insights into the holy seal technique. If you can get his help, you should be able to improve your ability to seal monsters.”

“The Sealed Land is relatively isolated from the outside. We deliver supplies to the sealed area once a month. The next delivery will be in five days, and we can arrange for you to join the supply team and enter the Sealed Land.”

“However, convincing High Priest Ron to teach you the sealing techniques will be up to you to figure out.”

After hearing this, Fang Heng had a plan in mind.

Ron!

Sure enough, it was that guy!

“Thank you, Archbishop. The Great Sage advancement mission has a time limit, so I want to depart as soon as possible. Could I trouble you to write a recommendation letter for me to personally deliver to High Priest Ron?”

“You want to go alone?”

The regional bishop, Trine, was a bit surprised at first. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “That’s fine, Fang Bai. The area around the spatial seal is extremely dangerous, so be very careful. I’ll send a few people with you.”

…

Ever since Fang Heng was taken away by the Holy Paladins in the temple, Yan Yuexin had been lingering in the prayer hall.

Even now, she was still a bit confused.

How could he release such a holy power ripple?

Everything that had just happened was beyond her understanding.

Yan Yuexin was feeling a bit confused when, suddenly, she noticed Fang Heng in the distance, escorted by the archbishop and protected by a group of divine holy guardians, entering the hall.

What the hell!

Even the archbishop was showing such respect to him?

This fraud!

If she hadn’t known about Fang Heng’s background in advance, she wouldn’t have suspected him at all.

Fang Heng noticed Yan Yuexin in the crowd and, from a distance, nodded toward her and said, “I can feel the pious faith energy coming from her. If possible, let her accompany me to the Sealed Land.”

“Mm, okay.”

The archbishop, without any suspicion, immediately instructed his subordinate to invite Yan Yuexin.

Yan Yuexin was still in a daze when she saw Fang Heng pointing at her from afar. She then noticed the mission refresh and accepted the invitation from the Holy Court’s escort team. She joined the group and embarked on the journey to the Sealed Land.

By the time she regained her senses, she had already crossed half the globe through a teleportation passage and was sitting in a helicopter heading toward the Sealed Land.

Occasionally, Yan Yuexin would glance at Fang Heng from time to time.

There were other Holy Court members on the helicopter, so she couldn’t speak with Fang Heng, afraid of attracting attention.

After a while, the helicopter began to descend slowly.

The head of the escort team nodded and said, “Mr. Fang Bai, we have entered the desert region. The area behind us is filled with intense spatial turbulence, and the helicopter can no longer continue flying. We will stop at a gathering point on the outskirts to rest for a while, and then we will officially enter the Sealed Land.”

“Thank you, I’ll follow your arrangement.”

…

The helicopter landed at a camp, and after a brief restocking, everyone boarded desert motorcycles to venture deeper into the central desert region towards the Sealed Land.

Now, Yan Yuexin finally found an opportunity. She accelerated the motorcycle and rode beside Fang Heng, lowering her voice to ask, “Fang Bai, I’m getting more and more confused by you. What exactly are you here for?”

Yan Yuexin had thought long and hard about this during the trip, and finally came up with an answer. She glanced around, lowered her voice again, and cautiously asked, “You don’t plan on destroying the seal, do you?”

“Indeed, doing so would cause great damage to the Holy Court, but I advise you not to act. The one guarding the Sealed Land, Ron, is from the Holy Realm, and his power has reached the demigod level…”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

Yan Yuexin could tell from the look on Fang Heng’s face that he wasn’t taking her seriously. She thought to herself that Fang Heng was one to never listen to good advice. Despite her kind reminder, he was treating her concern as something trivial.

Well, never mind.

Fang Bai was a troublemaker, and if any issues arose, she would distance herself from him as much as possible.

So, Yan Yuexin pretended not to know Fang Heng and intentionally distanced herself from him.

Fang Heng continued to follow the Holy Court guards as they advanced into the desert’s central region.

Soon, a yellow sandstorm appeared in the distance. The Holy Court members raised their holy shields to block the sandstorm’s assault.

They plunged directly into the storm, the motorcycles’ throttles fully pressed, and they sped at top speed for over an hour, finally reaching a fortress in the center of the desert.

This was Yan Yuexin’s first time visiting such a forbidden zone, and she couldn’t hide her amazement.

A large fortress, built within the sand city, stood firm, its solid walls blocking the erosion of the desert.

In a place like this, a fortress?

Was it built by the Holy Court?

Yan Yuexin had never heard of such a thing.

The head of the Holy Court escort team led everyone through a passageway outside the fortress and underwent an identity check. They were then guided into the fortress’ internal meeting hall.

“Please wait here for a moment. Lord Niel is handling some urgent matters and will come to see you as soon as he is finished.”

And so, they waited for over half an hour.

Lord Niel, accompanied by a group of guards, entered the meeting hall.

Niel was young and looked very authoritative. After listening to a few whispered words from his guards, he turned to look at Fang Heng and his group. “Oh? You were recommended by Regional Bishop Trine? What brings you here? This is a sealed area, not a mission domain for evangelism.”

“This is the letter from the bishop for you, please take a look.”

Fang Heng handed over the letter.
