Chapter 1075: Death of the Priest (Super long chapter, please vote)
As the tightly closed door slowly opened, the scene behind the door appeared in He Ao's vision.

Slightly dim lights illuminate the spacious hall, and small round tables are arranged in an orderly manner extending inward from the door to the innermost side of the hall.

There, there is a beautiful solid wood bar, a huge gilded wine cabinet, and fine strips of light laid behind the wine cabinet, making every bottle of wine on it crystal clear.

A hunchbacked old man in a loose robe is sitting behind the wine cabinet, looking at a lit display screen behind the cabinet.

As the door opened, he slowly stood up.

Ruilin looked at everything in front of her with some confusion. Obviously, the scene in this "office" was not the same as what she remembered.

He strode into the hall. The hall was so quiet that it seemed as if the fierce gunfire outside had also quieted down at this moment.

But the moment he stepped into the hall, He Ao could feel some sharp and uneasy invisible gazes coming from all directions.

"Would you like something to drink, both of you?"

The old man turned his back to the two people who came in, reached out and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him and placed it on the bar.

Feeling the tense and sharp feeling, He Ao calmly walked through the small round tables, walked to the chair in front of the bar, sat down, and said gently, "A glass of 'Precepts', thank you."

"Good taste."

The old man laughed hoarsely, put the wine in his hand on the bar, slowly turned around, and took out another bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.

At this time, Ruilin also walked over with hesitation and doubt. She didn't seem to feel the "invisible gaze" at all, but was a little confused about the changes in this "office".

"It's normal for you to feel confused, kid,"

The hunchbacked old man put the newly-picked wine on the bar, lowered his head, and picked up the wine glass next to him. "There is a one-way glass curtain wall with a rolling curtain in front of the office. If you open that wall, you won't be able to see the scene behind it."

Hearing this, Ruilin turned around and looked behind her. Sure enough, on the ceiling not far from the door, there was a large roll of translucent glass-like roller blinds.

Put the roller blind down and it will just close the front and back walls.

When she came here before, the curtain was lowered and the 'officer' would meet her at the small table in front.

click -

With a slight sound, the officiant took off the metal cap of the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Ruilin, and asked gently, "What do you want to drink? Child? Or 'Commandments'?"

Ruilin looked at the old man in front of her. Every time she came here, the chief priest would prepare a cup of "Precepts" for her.

Her gaze slowly shifted away and fell on the metal bottle cap that the old man then threw into the trash can nearby, and she was silent for a moment.

Finally, she nodded slightly, "Yeah."

At the same time, she also saw the officiant pouring wine from the two bottles in his hands and starting to mix them.

This was the first time she saw the production process of "Precepts". The "Precepts" on the bar outside were all placed in a large closed wooden barrel and poured out by the bartender.

The old man quickly mixed two glasses of wine, squeezed a little lemon into them, added three ice cubes, and handed them to the two men.

He Ao reached out to take the wine and took a sip.

Compared with the previous glass of wine, the aroma of this one was stronger at the beginning, and although the flame at the end was still surging, it was more restrained, and there was also a slight sourness lingering in the wine.

Ruilin, who was standing next to He Ao, did not pick up the wine glass in front of her, but just looked at the business around the bar in silence.

"Stranger,"

The old man mixed himself a glass of wine, looked at He Ao, and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will put drugs in your wine?"

“Normally, I respect a bartender’s reputation.”

He Ao shrugged slightly and placed the wine glass on the table.

As soon as he entered the room, he placed a mark on the old man and knew exactly what was in the old man's mind.

"Stranger,"

The old man looked at He Ao and sighed softly, "I don't know how you came to the City of Glory, but your courage is admirable."

"What is this?"

At this time, Ruilin raised her head, looked at the screen next to the old man, and couldn't help asking.

At this moment, the screen was divided into more than a dozen small areas, and countless people in gray-brown clothes were moving around in these small areas.

They were holding guns and were fighting fiercely with those beautifully dressed people from the "Discipline Department".

"It's 'surveillance', kid,"

The old man glanced at the screen and said slowly, "Your memory has been covered by the City of Glory. It's normal that you don't recognize it."

"Are those 'lights' that are on also in a category that I don't understand?"

Ruilin raised her head, looked towards the bright light on the wine cabinet, and asked again.

The light seemed to be used to create a certain atmosphere, but it was also the brightest light she had ever seen in the city.

"It's 'electric light'."

The old man said slowly, "It's a different form of energy supply than those lamps that use waste gas from food factories for lighting."

"Why can't we have electric lights?"

Ruilin asked in a low voice. She had walked to every corner of this city for countless days and nights, and she knew very well what a bright enough light represented.

But soon, she seemed to have an answer, and she said hoarsely, "Because we are 'livestock'?"

As she spoke, some scattered thoughts and memories emerged in her mind. She whispered, "Just like the owner of the ranch would not install lights on the ranch unless he needed them?"

This time, the old man did not answer. He just calmly raised the glass he had prepared, took a sip, and then said slowly, "Child, you are very good. I have watched you grow up step by step. There have been many nights when I have considered whether I should let you contact the extraordinary."

He put the wine glass on the table. "If you can repent now, you can be the head of the Discipline Department. All the rights of the entire Discipline Department will be in your hands. You don't like Blue Robe. Now he is dead, and you will take his place."

He looked at Ruilin and said, "I will open the door to the extraordinary for you, and you will become the actual manager of this city."

"What about them?"

Ruilin looked at the figures in gray and brown clothes holding guns on the surveillance video.

"My child, you should know that excessive kindness cannot manage anything well,"

The old man took a sip of wine and said slowly, "The moment they picked up the gun, their fate was sealed."

Ruilin lowered her head and stared at the hunchbacked old man. "I want to know, was Ruili really taken away by the 'God's Messenger'?"

"She is not related to you, child,"

The old man put the wine glass in his hand on the table, raised his head, looked at Ruilin, and said hoarsely, "When you become the manager of this city, you will have many choices."

Ruilin stared at the old man in front of her. She knew that this was actually equivalent to tacitly acknowledging her question.

"Master Priest, it is impossible for a shepherd dog to protect any lamb from its owner."

Ruilin looked at the old man in front of him, "Because he himself is just a 'livestock' of a higher status."

"You don't have to protect those lambs. You are not like them."

The old man sighed and looked at Ruilin, "You are very talented. You may become a 'master' and receive the glory."

"If the condition for being a 'master' is to treat one's own kind as livestock,"

Ruilin slowly grasped the bronze sword in her hand, "I can't accept it."

"Child, it seems that you have made your own decision. You are as good as I thought, but excessive 'kindness' will only bring you a fate of destruction."

The old man sighed, and his old and hunched body slowly straightened up. His dragon-like muscles bulged on his body, and his old skin also tightened at this moment. At this moment, he seemed to be rapidly becoming "younger".

An invisible pressure spread out, and at that moment, Ruilin felt as if her chest was pressed down by a huge rock, and she even lost the ability to breathe.

Her face briefly turned red due to lack of oxygen, but even so, she did not speak again to deny her choice.

boom--

The sound of the index finger tapping on the table echoed in the silent hall.

The sound was not loud, just a gentle knock, but it rang so clear and loud in Ruilin's ears, as if knocking on her soul.

The invisible 'boulder' that was pressing on his chest suddenly collapsed under this 'gentle' blow and turned into nothingness in an instant.

Fine beads of sweat instantly seeped out of every inch of the woman's skin. She was gasping for breath, like a drowning person being pulled out of the sea, greedily breathing in the breath of life.

The old man standing behind the bar turned around and looked at the young man beside him who had one hand on the bar and the other holding a glass of wine, and asked with a smile,

"Mr. 'Foreigner', are you here for the missing cute girl as well?"

hum-

It was as if some invisible ripples passed across Heo's profile, blowing his hair slightly, and passed in front of him.

Boom—boom—boom—

Behind He Ao, round tables suddenly shattered, drawing a long line that extended to the end of the hall.

"I can feel the power hidden in you. It's incredible that you can defeat the blue robe so easily."

The old man looked at Howe and continued with a smile,

"But unfortunately, this is the City of Glory. You will never understand how powerful the gift of the City of Glory is. It is a power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It is a gift from the Destroyer K."

At this moment, the old man, who looked like a strong middle-aged man, looked up at He Ao and said, "You have great power. If you are willing to stay here, I believe that the City of Glory will be willing to accept you."

boom--

Fine cracks spread across the wine glass in Howe's hand in an instant, covering the entire glass almost instantly.

Under the colorful lights, this cracked wine glass looks like it is covered with a layer of fine snow, reflecting crystal colors.

"I am a very simple-minded person, I just have one question,"

He Ao slowly raised the crystal wine glass in his hand, brought it to his mouth, drank the last sip of wine, looked at the old man, smiled and said, "Where is the way to the 'upper level'? In addition,"

He placed the wine glass in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "This is indeed a good wine."

boom--

As he spoke, a crisp sound exploded on the table, and the entire wine glass shattered, turning into fine glass sand and scattering on the bar.

The wine glass had already shattered in the invisible sound waves, but when it "collapsed" was determined by the person holding the glass.

"Unfortunately, only those chosen by Glory can go to the upper levels,"

The old man raised his hand and gently brushed away the broken glass on the table.

boom--

At this moment, countless broken glass fragments exploded instantly, and bullets fired from the chamber like a rainstorm suddenly poured towards He Ao.

This terrifying force broke through the air, making a sharp sound.

Ruilin stared at the scene blankly. She didn't know how powerful this move was, but she could feel that if the blue robe was here, it would be easily pierced into a pile of minced meat by these fragments.

She wanted to open her mouth to warn him, but the speed of the glass fragments was too fast, far beyond her reaction limit. Before she opened her mouth, the flying glass fragments had already burst out and were about to reach He Ao's body.

But at this moment, as if some invisible light flashed, the flying fragments did not pounce on He Ao, but suddenly flew back, flying towards the old man behind the bar at a faster speed than just bursting out.

Seeing this scene, the old man immediately pulled away and jumped to the side.

boom--

The wine bottles that filled the entire wine cabinet were suddenly pierced, and the rich wine splashed down like raindrops. The heavy wine cabinet was also shattered and fell forward.

At this moment, Ruilin felt her shoulders being grabbed, and then her vision rolled, and her whole body fell in front of the office door.

She raised her head and looked forward, only to see that the young man had stood up from his chair at some point, raised his hand, and seemed to be grasping the hilt of some invisible sword.

Then she saw the young man raise his hand and use some invisible weapon in his hand to cut across the metal edge of the collapsed wine cabinet.

Shila-

Sparks flew out from the edge of the wine cabinet in an instant, and then instantly ignited the surging wine around it.

The flames spread to the wine in the air like a wave, and instantly turned into a wave of fire, attacking the old man who had already jumped sideways.

"Fancy."

Looking at the wave of fire coming towards him, there was no expression on the old man's face.

This level of fire could hardly cause any harm to a powerful transcendent like him.

He raised his hands, quickly adjusted his body, and opened his mouth, as if ready to "blow" back these "provocative" flames.

However, where he was not paying attention, fine glass fragments hidden in the flames were rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The moment he opened his mouth, the glass fragments suddenly rushed out from the flames and pierced through his chest in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a figure holding a sword instantly crossed the surging waves of fire. Before he could react from his injury, he raised the invisible sword in his hand and cut off his head with one blow.

Just when he was holding the wine glass, He Ao integrated his spiritual consciousness into the wine glass.

Most of the glass fragments thrown by the "high priest" were directly bounced back by his invisible sword, while a small part was controlled by his spiritual sense and hidden in the splashing wine.

Holding the Shadowless Sword, He Ao looked up and around.

The wine fell at the young man's feet, ignited a raging flame, and flowed in all directions.

End, is it over?
Ruilin, who was in the corner, looked at the young man standing in the flames, and was stunned for a moment.

No, that's not right.

Soon, she discovered that the young man standing in the flames did not stop his movements, but raised his head and looked upwards.

At some point, the entire hall seemed to be shaking. On the solid ceiling, pieces of cement dust were rapidly falling off, revealing bright red, wriggling flesh.

Soon after, cracks began to appear on the walls, floors, and all other structures visible to the naked eye in the hall.

"Stranger, your power is strong,"

A hoarse and sharp voice sounded from all directions, "But you will never know how powerful the glory of 'Destroyer K' is. This is a gift from God, and it is an eternal and immortal power."

Ruilin raised her head and looked at the scene in horror. The scene before her was far beyond her expectations.

She never thought that this entire 'hall' was the 'official'.

She subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the young man standing in the flames.

This time, the young man did not make any movement, but just lowered his head, as if he was lost in some thought.

Huge tentacles extended from all sides of the hall. They opened their tentacles to reveal a human-like mouth.

"what--"

A sharp whistling sound instantly echoed throughout the room.

Those invisible sound waves gathered together, causing the flames flowing on the ground to tremble violently, and finally overlapped at the position where the young man was standing.

The young man's body trembled slightly, and a little blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

But he still stood there, seemingly lost in thought.

Those huge tentacles moved, changed their formation, and opened their 'mouths' again.

This time, a stream of light suddenly burst out from the young man's hand, directly cutting off several tentacles in a row, and stabbed into the innermost wall with a sword.

The tentacles on all sides trembled.

Howe raised his hand.

The high priest's human body just now had two energy gathering points, both of which were destroyed by him. Those two were very obvious and easy to destroy.

The wound that was pierced in the deep wall trembled, and the invisible sword blade flew back into Howe's hand.

This is the third one.

Unlike the humanoid body, the flesh and blood of this 'monster' covering the entire hall was piled up in a very disordered manner, the energy circuits in its body were extremely complex, and the energy convergence point was unknown.

The ultimate result is that these densely packed energy circuits actually conceal the real energy gathering points.

This is a bit like a doctor taking a person's pulse. A thin person can feel the pulse just by stretching out his hand, but a fat person would need a long time.

He Ao is now following those chaotic energy circuits, looking for the real "energy gathering point" of this monster.

After a brief pause, the tentacles surrounding Howe moved again, changed their formation, and opened their mouths.

At this moment, He Ao raised his hand again, and sword light burst out in an instant.

The invisible sword blade cut off a tentacle in half like mowing grass, and in an instant it penetrated the wall next to the door, penetrating the energy gathering point inside.

When the monster moves, the energy in its body will rise and fall like the tide, and the energy gathering points in its body will flicker more intensely.

This is when its energy focus is most obvious.

the fourth.

He Ao took back the Shadowless Sword.

Judging from these energy circuits, there should be another one.

After being pierced for the second time, the surrounding tentacles fell silent for a moment and did not move again.

The entire hall fell eerily quiet at this moment.

He Ao stared at the densely packed energy circuits, carefully sorting out the location of the last energy gathering point.

it's here!
At a certain moment, he suddenly realized something, and immediately grasped the sword in his hand, passed through the surging flames, and jumped up suddenly.

Almost at the same time he jumped up, a huge tentacle stretched out from under his feet, with a bloody mouth at the top, biting the place where he had just jumped.

And at the moment when the mouth closed, He Ao in the sky had already fallen.

The sharp blade did not give the tentacle any time to react. It instantly cut the entire tentacle vertically from top to bottom, splitting it in half.

Amid the aroma of fine wine, the collapsed tentacles fell into the blazing fire.

boom--

At this moment, the entire hall shook violently, as if it was about to collapse.

Holding the Shadowless Sword, He Ao fell back into the flames and looked at the surrounding buildings that were shaking violently and about to collapse.

The monster’s last energy gathering point was right under his feet.

In the invisible void, a special connection spreads.

It seemed as if the city was taking back its power.

Seeing this scene, He Ao reached into his pocket and slowly took out the yellow crystal.
