Chapter 44: The Past (8)
Xiao Xian's roar sounded behind him, but Liang Xiao didn't stop.
He knew exactly what it meant to stop. From the moment he picked up Li Xuan and fled, he no longer belonged to Calais, he was an apostate, and now he could only take Li Xuan to the church and go to the church for help. Fortunately, the archbishops of the Calais sect were blocked by the sudden burst of power in Li Xuan's soul and could not catch up.
There were bursts of moaning from the woman in her arms, and Liang Xiao knew that she must be in great pain at the moment. However, what can he do? His strength is only at the level of a bishop, and he doesn't know anything about the soul path, and I'm afraid that the only one who can save Li Xuan is the church in this city.
"Get up, get out of here!" Liang Xiao shuttled through the crowd with Li Xuan in his arms, and he continued to speed up his pace while roaring angrily to disperse the crowd. Who knows how long that soul power can last?
It's coming, it's almost there. Liang Xiao could already see the spire of the church in the distance. He looked at the woman in his arms and gently cast a dark spell on himβthe demon's requiem. This allowed Li Xuan to forget the pain for a while and sleep peacefully. After doing this, Liang Xiao didn't dare to pause at all. Continue to lunge in the direction of the church.
The city of Derek is an important town of the church in the middle of the continent, because the city is located on the central axis of the continent, that is, the middle of the city of Jeho and Pudino, so the city also appears on the mainland as the third largest city of the church. In the city, there is a cardinal and four archbishops who are permanently stationed.
Now, Liang Xiao has run to such a heavily guarded church.
It was evening, and the church was about to close, and Liang Xiao came at this time to attract the probationary priests who guarded the door very dissatisfied, but when Liang Xiao showed his strength as a bishop, the probationary priests did not dare to complain in the slightest and took the initiative to bring him into the church.
"Hello, Archbishop, please save her. Liang Xiao pleaded with an old man.
This old man was one of the four archbishops of the city. "Child, you have already cultivated to the level of a bishop at a young age. But why have I never heard your name in the church?"
"Mr. Archbishop, it doesn't matter where I come from, what matters is that you must treat this woman as soon as possible. I'm sure you've heard her name, Li Xuan. β
The archbishop stared at Li Xuan lying on the bed with some surprise, this is the youngest archbishop in the history of the church? A feeling of jealousy rose in his heart.
"This ...... Your identity is so suspicious, who can be sure that this is Miss Li Xuan, can you just bring a sick woman and point at it and say, this is Li Xuan, I want to believe it?"
Liang Xiao is not Li Xuan, he will not be stupid enough to explain to the archbishop why she is Li Xuan.
"Mr. Archbishop, I hope you will think carefully. If, Li Xuan has a problem with you. So, can you really bear the wrath of the church?"
The archbishop obviously hesitated, he could not care about the life and death of the woman on the bed, and he could also arrest Liang Xiao for interrogation. But if this is really Li Xuan, and fell in front of him. But he will not be saved, and one can imagine how horrible the Church's punishment of him will be. In contrast, the fire of jealousy that had just burned was extinguished at this moment.
The archbishop sent out all his mental power and carefully probed Li Xuan's soul. Listening to Liang Xiao's introduction, Li Xuan's soul has suffered a great impact at this moment, so if you want to treat Li Xuan, you must start from the soul.
The archbishop was blocked as soon as he touched Li Xuan's soul, and the archbishop tried many times but could not penetrate into Li Xuan's soul, which made the archbishop feel very powerless. He had no choice but to ask the cardinal, the supreme leader of the church in the area, to intervene.
Because they were all in the church, the cardinal came quickly. As a cardinal, he had the right to know many secrets within the church, so when he heard that a woman suspected of being Li Xuan had been injured in Derek City, he hurriedly stopped his cultivation and rushed to the archbishop's residence, accompanied by three other archbishops.
This is Miss Li Xuan
The cardinal glanced at the woman lying on the bed, moaning in pain. After briefly understanding the situation from the archbishop, he also tried to use his telekinesis to explore the problem of Li Xuan's soul. However, it is a pity that even the cardinal's telekinesis could not break into Li Xuan's soul. Did you just watch her die in agony???
Liang Xiao asked the senior bishops present in a loud voice.
At this time, the archbishop who had been in the room, Delifeld, whispered to the cardinal: "My lord, we are powerless to save Miss Li Xuan. If the young lady returns to the arms of the Lord in Derrick City, then we may not be able to escape the blame. β
"What do you want to say about Delifil?"
"My lord, there is a bishop boy here, he brought Miss Li Xuan here, maybe Miss Li Xuan was so seriously injured because she saved him. β
Hearing this, the cardinal, of course, understood what Delifil meant. Indeed, if Miss Li Xuan were to return to Heaven here, then every cardinal and archbishop they would be sent to a special formation in the Inquisition, which was a formation with the goal of death, for the crimes of poor protection and untimely assistance. The cardinal shuddered at the thought of this.
"My lord, we can arrest this boy, identify him as an Assassin of the Calais, and burn him at the stake through a trial. In this way, there is no proof of death, and I believe that yes and the other side will not be too difficult for us. At the same time, we can also leave a good reputation for Miss Li Xuan's sacrifice of her life, isn't this a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, please make a decision quickly. β
After another persuasion from Delife, the cardinal finally made up his mind.
"Arrest the Bishop, who is an assassin of the Calais, who took advantage of Miss Li Xuan's kindness and murdered her. With that, the cardinal directly restrained Liang Xiao, and the other four archbishops stepped forward to seal Liang Xiao's magic power.
Seeing this scene, Liang Xiao certainly knew what was going on. He didn't resist, because he knew that resisting would be fruitless, and would only make his accusations more substantial.
"He'..... him....not a bad person, and you...can't wrong him.... Li Xuan, who had been lying on the bed in pain, suddenly spoke: "You can't catch him....he....saved me..."
"Ah, Miss Li Xuan's kindness will be passed on forever. Delifil exclaimed. "Your forgiveness is as grand and kind as the Virgin Mary on earth. After experiencing such great suffering, you can forgive the assassin. I, Delifeld, salute you. β
Hearing his words, Li Xuan, who was in pain, folded his hands slightly and expressed his gratitude to Delifil. However, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared
"No!!" Li Xuan roared in despair.
Delifil's hands were covered in blood, and in the palm of his hand, a heart was still contracting. And Liang Xiao fell to his knees in a languishing manner. At the last moment of his life, he raised his head and looked directly at Li Xuan's beautiful face, his lips moved slightly but he couldn't make a sound.
"I....love ..... you....", Liang Xiao fell heavily to the ground.
Li Xuan's eyes widened in horror, she saw the last love that Liang Xiao expressed to her, such a person, he hadn't responded to his love properly, so he left first. Li Xuan was deeply shocked by Delifil's brutality and Liang Xiao's infatuation.
"So, Miss Li Xuan, it's up to you next. Rest assured, we will hold a grand funeral for you, please forgive us, current events are compelling. I hope you will forgive us when we meet in Heaven. With that, Delifil confessed his sins to God, and stretched out his bloodied palm to stab Li Xuan's heart.
