Bang!
Deep in the desert, the yellow sand suddenly exploded, and a figure flew out. It was the seriously injured Adams, and beside him was a transparent shadow.
The phantom is just a wisp of consciousness. Although it has been awakened with the help of the blood essence containing the power of faith, it will not exist for too long. In the previous two attacks, the power absorbed by the Holy Grail has been consumed by nearly half.
"I will use the remaining strength to heal your wounds and bring the Holy Grail back to the Vatican." The shadow looked at Adams and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Adams said respectfully. Although the shadow in front of him was not the Holy Emperor of this generation, he was still the Holy Emperor of the Holy See of Light, so Adams had to respect him in his heart.
Wow~
A white light gushed out from the phantom and sank into Adams' body. Adams' injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, he was completely recovered. Moreover, his aura became even purer, and he actually broke through to the middle stage of the ninth level of fetal breathing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Adams said gratefully, feeling his cultivation level improve.
At his level, it was extremely difficult to improve further, and now, the Holy Emperor actually used his own power to help him improve his cultivation. You know, although the Holy Emperor's consciousness can only exist for more than ten minutes, if the power of the Holy Grail is exhausted, he will dissipate early.
"The loss of the Holy Grail was my fault." The shadow took a breath and continued, "Tell this generation's Holy Emperor that the hope of the Divine Religion for generations still depends on him to fulfill."
"Yes." Adams said respectfully.
Wow~
A breeze blew by, and the shadow dissipated. The holy grail in the air dimmed again and fell onto the yellow sand.
Upon seeing this, Adams couldn't help but sigh, put away the Holy Grail, and quickly disappeared into the yellow sand.
…
In the hall, Yang Qi slightly opened his eyes. His injuries had stabilized and his life was no longer in danger.
"Mr. Yang, you're awake." At this moment, Xue Tu's voice came. Xue Tu's injuries were lighter than his, and he had already stabilized. He even began to treat Duke Yisi and the other person.
"Are Duke Yisi and the others okay?" Yang Qi asked, looking at Duke Yisi who was still unconscious.
"Their injuries are not too serious, but it will take some time for them to wake up." Xue Tu sighed.
Most of the power of the phantom's giant palm was blocked by him and Yang Qi, and the damage to others was not great, but it was still not something that ordinary people could withstand. Duke Yisi and another survivor both suffered serious internal injuries.
"This time, it is us who have implicated Mr. Yang." Xue Tu said with a hint of apology.
Yang Qi's injuries were very serious. It would take at least a month for him to fully recover. If it weren't for Yang Qi's help, none of them would have survived.
"Unfortunately, we were ultimately unable to stop the Vatican from taking back the Holy Grail." Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
This time, in order to prevent the Holy See from retrieving the Holy Grail, ten practitioners from both sides died, and those who survived were seriously injured and could not recover in a short time. But even so, the Holy Grail was still retrieved by the Holy See.
"We have tried our best. Who would have thought that the Holy Emperor of that generation would leave behind such a method? Unless the President comes in person, there is no way to stop the Holy See of Light." Xue Tu said helplessly.
Although the phantom can only exist for a short period of time, it can burst out with the combat power of the Martial Sect level. Unless it is a strong man at the Martial Sect level, it cannot be stopped at all.
“Now that the Holy See has found the Holy Grail, the world of cultivation is likely to undergo a major change,” Yang Qi sighed.
"Mr. Yang, there is no need to worry. Although the Holy See has recovered the Holy Grail, its power has long been exhausted. Even the means left by the original Holy Emperor have been used up. It is not easy for the Holy Grail to restore its original power." Xue Tu continued, "Besides, in modern society, even a martial arts master cannot guarantee victory when facing the state machine."
Modern society is not the ancient era of cold weapons where a martial arts master could easily destroy a country. In modern society, unless one is a martial arts master, he will still be in danger of death when facing those powerful hot weapons.
"That being said, we still need to take precautions early." Yang Qi said.
Although the Vatican's search for the Holy Grail did not have as great an impact as in ancient times, it still had a significant impact on the structure of the spiritual world and we had to be on guard against it.
Duke Yisi and the other man had not woken up yet, and Yang Qi was seriously injured. Under such circumstances, the group might not be able to leave the desert safely. Yang Qi could only continue to heal his wounds and try to recover to a normal state, otherwise it would be a hassle to leave the desert.
The next day, Duke Isi and his companion woke up one after another, but they were very weak.
The group stayed in the temple for three days, and only prepared to leave after everyone had recovered.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Yang Qi said respectfully towards the sarcophagus.
If the mysterious strong man in the sarcophagus had not suddenly taken action, they would have all died. Although Yang Qi had never seen that strong man, he dared not forget his life-saving grace.
Xue Tu and others on the side also thanked him respectfully. Although they failed to snatch the Holy Grail this time, they were already very lucky to be able to survive the hands of the powerful Wu Zong.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a strange wave came from the sarcophagus, and then a black light sank into Yang Qi's hand, which turned out to be a black crystal.
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang." Seeing this scene, Xue Tu and others on the side couldn't help but say with envy.
Suddenly a crystal flew out of the sarcophagus. It was obviously an opportunity given to Yang Qi by the senior in the sarcophagus. The senior in the sarcophagus was probably the same as the phantom, and he was able to force the phantom back. His strength in life must have been terrifying. The opportunity he left behind was naturally not bad.
"Thank you, senior." After Yang Qi expressed his gratitude, the group left the temple. After Yang Qi and his group left, the sarcophagus slowly closed, and a faint sigh came from inside the sarcophagus.
After leaving the Temple of Death, it took everyone two days to return to the city near the Death Desert.
"Mr. Yang, I have already sent back the news about the Holy Grail. A special plane will pick us up later. The president heard about this and invited you to the Dark Council." Xue Tu looked at Yang Qi and said.
Chairman of the Dark Council
Yang Qi was stunned. The president of the Dark Council was a true martial arts master. If it weren't for the influence of the cold poison, his strength would probably be even stronger.
As the third-ranked president of the Dark Council in the cultivation world, Yang Qi was also very curious. He had never actually seen a strong man at the Martial Sect level.
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Xue Tu." Yang Qi said.
"It's great that Mr. Yang agreed. Many people in my clan have heard of Mr. Yang. It's just that Mr. Yang has always been in China. I believe many people will be very happy when he goes to the Dark Council this time." Xue Tu said with a smile.
Yang Qi is the fastest rising practitioner recently, and he also has good cooperation with the Blood Clan. This time, they are fighting against the Holy See together. And as the Holy See has found the Holy Grail, the pressure on the Dark Council has increased greatly. If they can deepen their practice with the Chinese practice world, it will also be convenient to jointly deal with the Holy See, which is good for both sides. (To be continued)
