Chapter 2762 Summoning
Hain was quietly praying when a path slowly opened in the crowd behind him. The murmurs of the crowd rose once again.
Even the bishop in charge of the Mist God Pillar, Tami, had personally arrived.
A few days ago, Archbishop Kotter, who was responsible for the Mist God Pillar, had been urgently summoned to the main temple. Now, Tami, the bishop, was in charge of the Mist God Pillar.
Like Kotter, Tami was part of the bishop faction.
Surrounded by several guardian knights, Bishop Tami arrived at the Demon Suppressing Temple, looking up at the massive stone wheel set up outside the temple.
"Commander Hain, how is the trial participant doing?" Tami asked.
Hain's tone was cold as he replied, "It has been 40 minutes since the purification of the Tier 6 Evil Bone Demon, and there has been no further news."
Tami shifted his gaze to another priest on the other side.
The High Priest in charge of the temple nodded, saying, "Bishop Tami, about twenty minutes ago, there was a significant ripple at the seal of the seventh floor, but it lasted only a short while. The ripple stopped after five minutes."
Tami furrowed his brow and asked, "Could something have gone wrong? Should we send someone to investigate?"
"The trial is not over yet. We will send someone in once the time is up," the High Priestess replied.
Tami frowned again, about to say something, but Hain preemptively continued, "Fang Bai is the inheritor of the Great Sage. Our God's Punishment Knight Legion should ensure his safety, and we will take good care of him."
"It would be best that way. I trust the abilities of the God's Punishment Knight Legion," Bishop Tami said with a smile, nodding at the group. "I'll leave this to the two of you. There are some issues in the Mist Temple in the lower realm that I need to attend to. If anything comes up, please feel free to send someone to notify me."
Hain nodded gently, "Thank you."
The conversation between the two was rather plain. In fact, they belonged to different factions and rarely communicated, so there wasn't much camaraderie between them.
Hain was well aware of Tami's intentions.
Since the death of Klo Issos, the Great Sage who once managed the Mist God Pillar, control over the Mist God Pillar had shifted to the archbishop faction.
If Fang Heng successfully advanced to the Great Sage, what would happen to the control over the Mist God Pillar?
Hain shifted his gaze away from the departing Bishop Tami.
These were external concerns. Right now, the most important issue was still Fang Bai's trial.
Once the trial in the Demon Suppressing Temple began, all communication between the inner and outer realms was severed.
The outside world couldn't determine the trial participant's exact situation.
Unless someone opened the entrance of the Demon Suppressing Temple and entered to inspect in person.
Hain now regretted it deeply. He regretted not paying attention when Fang Bai entered the temple and not asking what his trial objectives were at the time.
What if opening the entrance of the Demon Suppressing Temple on his own would disrupt Fang Bai's trial?
But...
Considering the worst-case scenario, if Fang Bai was seriously injured, entering now might be the only way to save him...
Hain fixed his eyes tightly on the disc outside the Demon Suppressing Temple.
The harsh words he had spoken to Fang Heng before seemed to echo back now, and he regretted them deeply.
Meanwhile, at the trial cavern of the Mist Temple in the lower realm.
Inside the cavern, Qiu Xiaoling and Abulati, along with a group of Shadow Alliance subordinates, hurriedly returned.
Niximi stood up and asked, "How did it go?"
"The Holy Realm sent quite a few people, but we just managed to deal with them. However, I don't think we can keep them off for long, we need to speed things up," said Qiu Xiaoling.
"Humph, can't expose our strength. It's so frustrating," Abulati grumbled in a deep voice, clearly annoyed. He then asked, "What about you guys? How's your progress?"
Wu Yan nodded, "Almost done. The upper cavern is easier to break through than we expected. We should be able to finish the passage in about four hours, then we can infiltrate the Mist Temple and catch them off guard."
"Well done," Qiu Xiaoling said as she sat down on a stone and cupped her face in her hands. "I'm exhausted. I just hope Fang Heng's side is going well. I wonder if there's any chance he could help us finish earlier?"
Wu Yan and Niximi exchanged a glance, both thinking, What does 'help us finish earlier' mean?
Ji Xiaobo, who had been listening, shook his head and said, "Brother Fang hasn't sent any updates for a while. He might have been delayed by something."
Wu Yan looked concerned and furrowed his brows, "Do you think something went wrong? If he's facing issues, it could affect our next steps."
"Probably not," Bai Mu shook his head, adding, "But the Holy Realm is not like the lower realm. People there are generally much stronger. It's normal if Fang Heng's actions are being heavily restricted. The fact that we haven't heard from him is expected."
Wu Yan seemed still worried, about to speak again when Abulati lightly patted his back. "Don't worry, that kid's probably doing better than us. How about a bet if you don't believe me?"
The newly joined members, Wu Yan and Niximi, exchanged a glance.
They didn't know Fang Heng that well, so they found it hard to imagine.
It was hard to understand how, even though he had entered the dangerous Holy Realm all alone, everyone seemed completely unconcerned.
Who gave them that confidence?
Was Fang Heng really that powerful in the eyes of these people?
...
Two hours later, Fang Heng put away the alchemy brush in his hand and stood in the center of the Abe Akaya magic array.
Done!
[Hint: The player has completed the Abe Akaya summoning magic array.]
[Hint: The player has completed modifications to some existing magic arrays.]
Whoosh!
A rapidly rotating magic array reflection appeared in Fang Heng's right eye.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
The Abe Akaya magic array began to slowly activate.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
White spatial fluctuation light spots appeared from the operating Abe Akaya magic array.
Vines of Abe Akaya began to emerge from the light spots, slowly crawling toward Fang Heng's feet.
Fang Heng quickly connected mentally with Abe Akaya.
"Abe Akaya, we're about to face a familiar foe, the demonic seed. Are you ready?"
Abe Akaya naturally remembered, and at the thought of being able to continue devouring the demonic seed, a surge of excitement was conveyed to Fang Heng.
"Good."
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
This time, he had spent a bit more time modifying the magic array.
On one hand, he had constructed the new magic array, and on the other, he had also made additional modifications to the existing teleportation magic array within the Demon Suppressing Temple.
He had changed the teleportation magic array to a continuous one.
This way, it would ensure that Abe Akaya could continually enter the battle through the teleportation passage.
It was a good thing he had studied alchemy beforehand.
Fang Heng couldn't help but marvel at it.
It's true what they say—more skills never hurt.
Without alchemy, he would have been in trouble.
Fang Heng felt the urging emotions from Abe Akaya.
"Heh, alright, let's go."
Fang Heng said, raising his head to look at the magic array on the floor of the Great Hall, while the magic array phantom in his right eye spun rapidly.
The teleportation magic array leading to the sealed area of the Tier 7 demon began to glow with a dazzling purple light.
Unlike before, the blinding light did not stop but remained in an active state.
"We're going!"
Fang Heng said, immediately stepping into the magic array.
