Volume 3: The Rising Winds and Clouds Chapter 37 - A Contest in the Dark (Next)

Looking at Toles, who was on the verge of an outburst, Edwin softly reminded from the side, ''His Holiness the Pope mustn't be impulsive, right now our situation isn't optimistic! If we once appear in a head-on conflict with Extinction, I believe that the Diablo Church will not let go of this excellent opportunity. Facing either of their forces alone, perhaps we are not afraid. But facing two major forces at the same time, with the Illuminati's strength today, the situation would be quite dangerous! "Then what do you think we should do now? Is it possible to let those guys come and assassinate our Illuminati people?" Toles snorted coldly. "Of course we can't!" Edwin said fiercely, "The Jedi are enemies of our Illuminati at every turn! It's only a matter of time before we deal with them! But in order to prevent the Yellow Bird that is the Diablo Church, we should settle this matter first. As for Desperate Order's assassins, I have a plan, following which can give us free time to deal with the Diablo Church, and perhaps kill those two assassins to give the Desperate Order a warning as a warning! First, we'll see what their next move is! It's not too late to make a decision!" Toles bowed his head in contemplation for a while and looked up to Edwin, "Let's do it your way! Ours however needs a bit of a buffer to deal with the matter of Darkness calling it quits. I just received a secret report that the Dark Lord is practicing a magical power in a hidden place! This power is extremely evil and powerful, so I don't have to destroy it before he accomplishes it! I'll leave the Jedi side of things to you first, I'll give Ulson and the others a go at destroying the Dark Lord first!" Edwin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Since we have discovered the Dark Lord's traces, the matter of eliminating him cannot be delayed! His Holiness the Pope needs to act cautiously, I'll go to Garris City first to deal with the matter of extinction." After saying that, Edwin took Luo Ao and exited the main hall. ---------- In a small town a hundred miles away from Garis City, Tianxin and Xuan'er were sitting within a secluded courtyard! Tian Tian said to Tian Xin with a bitter little face, ''Boss, let me go out and play! It's been ten days since I stayed in this place, I just can't stand it anymore! What's the difference between hiding here and in the Valley of Extinction!" "No way! Your figure is too familiar to the Illuminati. The moment you go out, you'll be caught by their eyes!" Tianxin ignored Tiantian's complaints and was about to turn around to speak to Xuan'er when a knock came from outside the door! "Come in!" Tian Xin frowned towards the door. Only to see a masked black-robed man walk in outside the door, seeing Tian Xin and Xuan Er both quickly saluted, "Desperate Heavenly Character number twelve see Zun Xuan and Zun Huang!" Tian Xin nodded slightly, "What is the matter you have come for this time, could it be that the Illuminati has made some new move?" "Yes, my subordinate has just received a secret report that the Illuminati has sent Head Deacon Edwin to Garris City! In addition, Illuminati Pope Toles has gathered most of the forces of the Holy See! Moving towards the southwest of Tian Long City, the purpose is still unclear!" Tian Zi XII said respectfully. Tian Xin froze, then turned her gaze back to Xuan'er with a face full of confusion and disbelief! Xuan'er smiled gently at Tian Xin, then said to Tian Zi XII, "Alright, Tian XII, you go down first. Continue to monitor the Pope of Light's every move, and report to us promptly if there are any movements!" "Yes, my subordinate will leave!" Tian XII's figure disappeared inside the room in the blink of an eye! After Tian XII left, Xuan'er came in front of the dazed Tianxin and waved her hand in front of his eyes! Laughing softly, he said, "Tian Xin, what are you thinking about! Thinking so intently! "Edwin actually came to Garis City alone! I'm wondering if we're making a trip to Garris City, with the strength of the two of us, the possibility of killing him in a sneak attack is still high! By getting rid of Edwin, the Illuminati's strength will be greatly reduced!" Tian Xin raised his head and said to Xuan'er. Xuan'er brushed his head and knocked on Tian Xin's head, "You brat, when will your head be enlightened? Going to Garis City now is undoubtedly going to send death!" "Sending death, why?" Tian Xin froze. Xuan'er blankly glanced at Tian Xin, "Think about it, we borrowed Luo Ao's hand to send the Jedi Order to Light Pope Toles! Since Toles knew that the Jedi Order assassinated their senior personnel of the Holy See! He still dared to send Edwin to Garris City to act alone, he must have something to rely on! I think if we go to Garris City now, Edwin must have set up a dragnet waiting for us. We are definitely throwing ourselves into the net! What's more, the Illuminati's gaze doesn't seem to be on Garris City! When Tianxin heard this, he was instantly clear in his mind. However, he suddenly had doubts and said, ''What is the purpose of the Illuminati gathering their forces towards the southwest of Tian Long City? Could it be that there is something more important than dealing with Jedi and me?" Xuan'er also frowned, "This move by the Illuminati is indeed beyond my expectations! I'm also curious as to what exactly the reason is ... "Ah! I've thought of it!" Xuan'er suddenly said in surprise. Tian Xin hurriedly asked, "Sister Xuan'er, what exactly did you think of?" "I think Toles' move should be to deal with a very important enemy of the Illuminati!" Xuan'er said confidently. "A very important enemy?" Tian Xin froze, then reacted, "You mean the purpose of the Illuminati gathering their forces towards the southwest is to deal with the Dark Cleric!" Xuan'er nodded and said, "Toles' move must be to deal with the Dark Cleric! Only the Diablo Cleric, a thousand year old enemy, is worthy of the Illuminati making such a big move! No wonder with the domineering nature of the Illuminati, it hasn't made a move to deal with the Jedi that has blocked it many times! It turns out that it was afraid of the Diablo Vatican, the yellow bird in the back ah! However, the Illuminati explicitly allowed Edwin to attract our attention here, while secretly dealing with the Illuminati quietly! Once he eliminates the Dark Sect, he will have no more worries about dealing with us! The Illuminati has played this hand of openly repairing the inns, and secretly doing it in the dark quite well!" "Since this is the case, we must not allow the Illuminati to destroy the Dark Cleric without any problems! Sister Xuan'er, what should we do now?" "Wait!" Xuan'er said dryly. "What? Wait again? When do we have to wait this time?" Tian Xin blurted out. Xuan'er stretched her back and yawned as she said, "Of course we have to wait! When the intelligence comes in and determines the Illuminati's goal for this trip, we'll act in succession. If we know our enemy and know ourselves, we will be able to fight a hundred battles without danger! Alright, it's late! I'm going to bed!" Xuan'er said as she walked towards the inside. Tian Xin looked at Xuan Er's back and said in her heart, "Sister Xuan Er, thank you! Luckily I have you by my side, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid that I would have been chased by the Illuminati to the point of no return. No matter what, I won't let you get hurt!"
