Chapter 572 - The Holy Fire Burns the Adversary
The other five high-ranking saints did not respond to Merlin's words, and their faces were not very good-looking.
They rushed over, trying to finish the battle, hit the Heavenly Cult hard, and recapture the robbed flying boat, but they didn't expect that the other party was not a soft persimmon.
The battle between the front and back was only a quarter of an hour, but the two sides were broken.
"So what? as long as there is one flying boat and one saint, it's not done!"
Merlin is like a madman, and there is no room for anything but revenge in his eyes.
Although the Heavenly Cult took the opportunity to pick up a big bargain, it successfully angered the Holy Court, and he, Merlin, even if this Expedition advance team is not wanted, he must take down the hateful bastards of the Heavenly Cult.
"Merlin, we can't fight anymore, the mission given to us by the court is to go east, not to die with this Heavenly Cult!"
Ao Jian persuaded that if their flying boat team was destroyed in the Eastern Soil, the Holy Court's Eastern Crusade Plan would inevitably lose its support, and the Eastern Earth Technique Dao that should be destroyed would still be intact.
"No, no, are you going or not? Who's going with me?"
Merlin was furious, he was not ignorant of Odou's reasoning, but the losses were so great that he lost almost two-thirds of the advance team, but the task of the Eastern Crusade was not completed as planned.
The reason for such a heavy loss was that the Holy Court had never noticed that there was still a Heavenly Cult hidden in Dongtu in the plan to prepare for the Eastern Crusade, even if it was the Eastern Earth Technique, it was only under Li Xiaobai's reminder that he realized that such a terrible force was hidden around him.
Seeing that Merlin ignored his advice, Okane sighed and stopped talking.
Several other high-ranking saints looked at each other, and finally someone said, "Merlin, Ao Dou is right, even if we fight with the Heavenly Cult and lose both, then what should we do about the Eastern Crusade? How should we explain to His Majesty the Holy Emperor? How should I explain to His Majesty Caesar?"
Merlin gasped, his chest rising and falling like a bellows, and glared fiercely at the unwilling to obey him, and it took a few moments before he finally calmed down.
"You're right!"
He lowered his head, but hatred was still burning in the depths of his eyes, he couldn't do anything without the support of others, and he was just sent to death if he dared to catch up with him.
The battle was almost a disgrace for Merlin, who was an incompetent commander who simply had no qualifications to lead the others.
"We'll destroy them!Merlin, don't worry, I'll take the long view first. β
Chambers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Merlin, a grumpy fellow, finally didn't get carried away by anger.
"Yes, before that, I'll catch an apricot fish first!"
Merlin suddenly looked in a certain direction.
Li Xiaobai, who was hiding in a crack in the stone on a mountain, was startled, and before he could react, a high-ranking saint rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, but it was an old acquaintance, Mei Lin, who was holding the spear of sanction aimed at the crack in the stone.
"If you come out*, you won't be able to die without a place to be buried. β
Merlin's sudden move made Odin and the others involuntarily follow, surrounding the mountain tightly.
"Okay C! Guys, I'm just passing by!"
Li Xiaobai didn't expect that his hiding place would be detected by the other party, and he got out of the crack in the stone with a dry smile, and he was still covered with grass and trees camouflage.
It was discovered by the Ball Beast King before, but the eyes of the two sides met, but they were discovered by these high-level saints, but they didn't know why, probably because of some kind of secret art or some kind of holy weapon.
"Orangutan, how did you get here?"
Okudui looked at Li Xiaobai in disbelief, he recognized Helena's niece's child.
"Helena's Xuanzi?!"
"How did he get here?"
The high-ranking saints had a relationship with Li Xiaobai, and after being reminded by Ao Duo, they immediately remembered him and recognized him one after another.
This apricot also killed Merlin's mid-level saint Augustine, almost triggering a great battle between the two high-ranking saints.
"Hmph, passing by, I think he has ulterior motives! Take him down!"
Merlin's eyes immediately turned red again, and as soon as he saw Li Xiaobai, he immediately remembered Augustine, who was just his own subordinate on the surface, but in fact he was his illegitimate son, and he was the most favored illegitimate child, so he was killed by the other party, how could he easily forget such a deep hatred.
"Merlin, he's the child of the Holy Daughter of Helena, don't mess around. β
In any case, Ao can't do anything to his uncle's doll, Helena's Xuanzi.
"What a holy woman, she has betrayed the Holy Court, she is no longer a holy woman, the traitor should be purified by the holy fire, and the same is true of the traitor's children. β
Merlin stared at Li Xiaobai viciously, after suffering a big loss with the Heavenly Cult, there was nowhere to vent this anger in his heart, and he happened to bump into an untrue Li Xiaobai, which could just become his punching bag.
"Merlin, you can't do that?"
Odin's face changed drastically, and he realized what Merlin wanted to do?
Merlin pointed at Li Xiaobai and shouted: "Grab the rent apricots and purify them with the holy fire!"
"Don't!"
Ao E tried to stop it, but was caught by two high-ranking saints, one left and one right.
"Merlin is right, Helena is no longer a saint, he is the child of a traitor. β
"Odin, don't make it difficult for us, he sank the two flying boats of the Holy Court, and the death penalty will not escape. β
Fighting with the Heavenly Cult, the losses were heavy, although the senior saints did not want to be as desperate as Merlin, they also held back the fire, and met Li Xiaobai was regarded as a lost east, and the unexpected surprise of receiving Sang Yu.
"Hehe, Xing, you're dead. β
Chambers and Samuel, the senior saints who had fought with Li Xiaobai and had to flee in embarrassment, approached with a sneer.
Mei Feiluo, who also suffered a sullen loss in Tianjing, the imperial capital of the Dawu Dynasty, smiled: "This time, there is no boat to help you, if you don't want to suffer, you will honestly tie your hands and arrest it." β
Chambers, Samuel, and Meferon surrounded Li Xiaobai in the center, and surrounded by the three high-ranking saints, he still had difficulty flying even if he tried his best.
Li Xiaobai had no intention of resisting or escaping, but asked calmly, "You want to purify me with the holy fire?"
"Merlin, he is the blood of the Sibia family, even if Helena betrays the Holy Court, but the blood of the Sibia family cannot accept the judgment of the Holy Flameb It is a disgrace! I am willing to pay any price to let him live. β
Ao E wanted to rush over, but the two high-ranking saints whose strength was not inferior to him suppressed him to the death, and did not give him any chance at all.
The Sibia family has a lot of say in the Senate, and even Julius Caesar, who has the title of King of Kings, must pay attention to the voice of the family, otherwise he will not take the power of the Eastern Earth Holy Sect, so even if the children born to Helena and the Eastern Tu, as long as they have the blood of the Sibia family, they will enjoy the privileges of being the children of the Senate family.
The burning of the body and soul by the sacred fire is a terrible punishment, and the soul of every purified prisoner will reverberate in place for three days and three nights before dissipating.
"Odin, I know that you are a member of the Sibia family, but Sibia is Sibia, and it can't represent the Holy Court, nor can it represent His Majesty the Emperor, if you have any opinions, you can naturally protest to the Holy Emperor, you can't pay this price, haha, hahaha!"
Merlin only thought that his illegitimate son would die at the apricot hand in front of him, and he said to Li Xiaobai with a cruel smile: "As you wish, the holy fire will wash away the sins on your body, and let the God of Light judge everything about you!"
No matter what conditions Ao throws, he must let the young man in front of him die, and in the most painful and tragic way.
He threw his hands up and shouted, "Prepare to set up the flame!"
"Merlin, you'll regret it, the Sibia family swears to you!"
O's madness was about to go mad, the children of the Sibia family had never been tortured by the Holy Fire, and this Merlin did not take the noble blood of Sibia in his eyes at all.
"Haha, whatever you want! I must throw this apricot into the flame today. β
Merlin laughed maniacally, not caring about the other party's revenge.
"Let me go, Jupitt, Lance, will you also be enemies of the House of Sibia?"
Odor struggled, but the two high-ranking saints who had suppressed him were not threatened by him in the slightest.
"Odin, don't make it difficult for us, someone has to take full responsibility this time!"
"We need Merlin, so we can only grieve that apricot. β
It was evident from the two high-ranking saints that if the Holy Court held them accountable for the heavy losses of their advance party and its inability to complete the planned plan, someone would have to take the blame on it.
Since Helena can't be caught, then this Xuanzi of hers is the best scapegoat.
"You ......"
Ao Dunyu understood why these guys were willing to follow Merlin, and they must purify this apricot with the holy fire.
The three remaining flying boats approached, and the priests surrounded the hill, the slopes were filled with torches, and hymns echoed over the hill, praising the justice and mercy of the God of Light.
The ritual of purifying the sacred flame is not a lynching, nor will it be dragged to a corner where no one is slaughtered casually, it is essential to observe the ceremony, which is both a warning and a declaration of prestige.
Li Xiaobai received the highest level of treatment, not only was he locked in the cage of the trapped beast that forbade all the extraordinary powers such as spiritual energy and holy power, but also the three high-level saints were strictly guarding outside the cage, and they would never leave their sight.
Ao Pox was looking for a chance to rescue Li Xiaobai, even if he risked his own life, but he was being watched tightly, and he had no chance at all, so he could only stand three feet away, and said with tears in his eyes: "Orangutan, if you have any last words, Ao Dongye will find a way to bring them to your mother." β
Even if he fought for his life, he didn't save Li Xiaobai from the cage.
Li Xiaobai didn't care about his life or death, or he was already frightened crazy by the holy fire, and said unexpectedly indifferently: "Ao Dongye, I heard my mother say that the holy fire purifies evil, and if there is no sin, it will not be purified, right?"
He didn't resist the whole time, and the high-ranking saints didn't even move what was on him, only tied a few chains around his body, and threw him into the cage of the trapped beast that even the high-ranking saints couldn't break through.
Before Ao Dou could speak, he heard a wild laugh coming.
"Xing, this seat admires your courage! Haha, that's right, people are born with original sin, every day in this world, every move will be inadvertently contaminated with evil, the holy fire washes away all the unclean and ominous in the world, and the things that cannot be purified are the most holy and good, without a trace of sin, you don't want to have any luck, people who are not contaminated with any sin on their bodies are saints, you can take over the staff of the Holy Emperor's sanctions, and become the master of the Holy Court, the holy fire is a punishment, but also a test, and those who cannot pass the test are dead, for you, this is also your end. β
Merlin laughed wildly and said the true face of the Holy Fire Purification Ceremony, he personally presided over this Holy Fire Purification Ceremony, and wanted to watch this apricot be burned by the Holy Flame every inch of flesh and bones, and his soul wailed for three days and three nights, and finally dissipated, and all the traces of thistles left in this world reappeared.
"Merlin, you're going to regret it, you're going to regret it!"
If it weren't for being suppressed, O's wouldn't have fought to the death with this madman.
The Sibia family once produced a holy emperor, belonging to one of the holy blood families, even if it is an unforgivable capital crime, it must be ended in a dignified way, and the Holy Fire Purification is completely in defiance of the noble bloodline of Sibia.
However, the high-ranking saints who suppressed him did not care about offending the Sibia family, and someone must bear full responsibility for the casualties and losses of the advance team, so the traitor Helena Saint Xuanzi is the best scapegoat.
In fact, they don't know that the back-stabber they are looking for is indeed the real culprit.
"Hahaha, I won't regret it, Odin, you accept your fate!"
Merlin's mind was full of only wanting to avenge his illegitimate son Augustine, and he took out a snow-white branch four or five inches long from his bosom, and the holy power of his body gushed out wildly, crackling softly, and a small white flame appeared from the branch.
As soon as the flame was born, Merlin threw this white branch into the cage of the trapped beast without hesitation, and several high-ranking saints chanted the Pure World Mantra loudly, and the white flame the size of a finger had not yet landed, and suddenly turned into the size of a human head, and in less than four or five breaths, it quickly expanded to fill the entire space in the cage.
The three high-ranking saints, Chambers, Samuel, and Meferon, who were guarding the cage, took four or five steps back in fear, for fear of being contaminated with a little holy fire.
The small smile bar still in the sacred tree of light contains majestic holy power, and once ignited, it is a sacred flame that purifies all sins in the world, and it is a necessary part of the purification ceremony, and even high-ranking saints cannot escape the judgment of the holy fire.
"Orangutan!"
Ao Er raised the unloading daughter Helena, she had no way to explain to the family, and roared with grief and indignation, the blood of the Sibia family was purified by the holy fire in this way, such a deep hatred and hatred, and never stopped.
For a moment, a white holy light that was not inferior to the snow-white holy fire in the cage poured out from his body, almost illuminating the entire mountain.
The two high-ranking saints who suppressed him glanced at each other, quietly let go of the suppression, and took two steps back at the same time.
