Ke Ya slowly knelt down, tears of joy in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Yes, I'm back! But it's great to finally see you!"

The Great Sage Maiden couldn't help but be overjoyed, she wanted to stretch out her hand, but she didn't have any strength in her body, so she had to say, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" As soon as you come back, I will be much more relieved. As soon as she said this, she seemed to remember something, and immediately said, "How come I am still alive?

Keya said, "No, it was the Holy Sword that saved you. Great Sage, I have already entered the realm of the Sword Saint. After merging with the Holy Sword Human Sword just now, it was the Holy Sword that saved you with its divine power. Is that female angel the Great Goddess of the Joyful God Sect just now, and why should she be unfavorable to our Holy Sect?"

When the Great Sage Maiden heard this, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said with great grief: "Keya, all our efforts have been in vain. What are you saving me for? I don't have any meaning in living in the world!"

Keya was sad and wept when he saw the Great Holy Maiden for the first time, and he couldn't help but be amazed: "Why? The Holy Sect still needs your leadership, and we still have to rely on your command to fight against the attacks of the infidels, why is it meaningless?"

At last the Great Sage burst into tears, and cried out, "What's the use? Goddess...... The goddess is no longer there, and even if we keep the Holy Religion, there is no point in it! O Lord God, woo, Lord God, how can you bear to leave your thousands of followers and leave like this? Without the Holy Religion of God, how can we survive! Woo woo......

Keya was taken aback and exclaimed, "What? What did you say......? Our goddess is dead...... Is it dead? Is this ...... How is this possible?"

The great saint didn't answer, but just lay on the stone bed and cried to death. Ke Ya looked at her like this is mostly true, because the Great Sage Maiden is usually solemn, but at this moment she is crying so much that she has no human form, and only the death of the goddess will make her so gaffe.

For a while, Ke Ya's heart was empty, and he only felt that all thoughts were lost. He sat down on the ground, his mind in a mess. The belief he had fought for all his life suddenly disappeared, how could he not make his heart feel confused.

At this time, the voice of the holy sword remembered in his mind again: "Now is not the time to be sad, although it is true that I can no longer sense the existence of the divine power of the goddess. But without confirmation, it is not certain that the goddess is dead! The news of the goddess's death is only known through the enemy, and it is not worth believing completely. Cheer up, the crisis of the Holy Religion has not yet passed, and sadness and panic will only hasten our demise. If the Great Sage collapses, Holy Sword Guardian, you will have to take on this heavy responsibility!"

Keya was stunned for a long time, and said disheartenedly: "If the goddess really doesn't exist, then all our efforts are meaningless?"

"At least we have to live, we have to defend our country. Even if the goddess dies, we have to survive. You are the guardian of the sacred sword, and your duty is not only to protect the goddess, but also to protect the lives of all goddess believers. Now that the Great Sage Goddess is no longer powerful, you are the only one who can carry this burden. What you have to do now is to stand up and lead all believers through the difficult times that are in front of you. After defeating all the enemies, go and prove that the goddess still exists. If it really doesn't exist, you'll have to avenge her. All this requires your strength and calmness, not to be confused and flustered here now!"

In an instant, Keya felt the heaviness and hardship on his shoulders. But he was born to be a person who was not afraid of difficulties and responsibilities, and at this moment the words of the Holy Sword woke him up. Indeed, now is not the time to be sad and give up. Whether the goddess is dead or not, without seeing it with her own eyes, no one can come to this conclusion. And as a guardian of the Holy Sword and a man, at this moment, as the Holy Sword said, he has to stand up at this critical moment and continue to fight strongly to save the lives of the Holy Sect and the Goddess believers!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground. He said to the Great Sage: "The Great Sage, this is not the time to cry. Whether the goddess dies or not, we all have to live strongly. Now that the empire and the Holy Religion are still at a critical juncture of life and death, you are our backbone, you can't fall! Thousands of believers in the empire are still waiting for you to lead them out of their predicament!"

The Great Sage was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped crying, but the tears were still flowing. Her beautiful eyes revealed despair, and she said sadly: "Keya, I know I shouldn't show weakness. But the Lord God has been so gracious to me, and when she died, can I not be sad?

Keya's heart softened, he understood that no matter how sacred and solemn the Great Holy Maiden was usually. At the end of the day, she's still a person, a woman. To her, the goddess is everything to her. At this moment, I heard that the goddess was dead, and it was like the end of the world was coming. It is impossible to ask her to be strong at this moment!

For a while, Keya's heart swelled with tenderness. In his eyes, the Great Sage Maiden was no longer the Holy Great Sage who could not be blasphemed. Now she is just a weak woman who needs to be comforted.

The ghost sent the gods, Ke Ya stretched out his hands, gently hugged the Great Sage Maiden, gently hugged her into her arms, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." Let's cry, cry as much as we want! Let's be strong again, don't worry, don't worry!"

Under the agitation of the Great Sage, she didn't expect anything wrong with this. As soon as his mouth was flattened, his head was buried in Keya's arms and he continued to cry bitterly.

Only the Holy Sword was the most sober and calm, and it hurriedly reminded, "Holy Sword Guardian, you can be regarded as a blasphemy now......

Before he finished speaking, Koya threw the holy sword on the stone bed and didn't listen!

In fact, Keya is also very sad in his heart, the goddess is gone, and he seems to have lost his life purpose and spiritual sustenance. The whole person was empty, and I couldn't tell what it was like. At this moment, he also needs comfort. He hugged the great saint in his heart like the goddess, as if he had firmly grasped the sustenance of his soul. He didn't want to let go, for fear that if he let go, he would lose everything.

In the cry of the Great Sage, Keya's tears rolled down silently.

I don't know how long it took, but Koya couldn't hear the cry of the Great Sage. When I looked down, I saw that she was asleep. Keya sighed lightly, knowing that the successive battles and injuries, coupled with the severe mental blow, had finally exhausted this strong woman and put her into hibernation.

It's okay to fall asleep, at least, it won't be so painful. Koya gently lowered her back onto the stone bed, and found that although her wounds were all over, she was still covered in blood. Then he went out of the psychic room, and went to the cleansing room to get a bucket of holy water and came back. Carefully wipe her body clean with a clean white cloth and find a new white robe for her to put on. During this time, the Great Holy Maiden slept soundly. At the mercy of Keya, he didn't wake up at all.

After getting it done, Keya picked up the holy sword again and asked, "What did you mean when you said just now that the power of the Great Sage Goddess is gone?"

Holy Sword: "The Angel of Weila forcibly gave birth to wings just now, and her divine power instantly increased to a level that her body could not bear. That's why her skin is torn apart, and all her divine power is leaked. I just turned your blood into divine blood, which can only save her life, not her divine power. She is now just an ordinary person, and there is no power in her body anymore. Therefore, in the future, the Holy Sect can only rely on you alone. ”

Keya sighed lightly and thought to herself, "Is that right? But the Great Holy Maiden is still the spiritual leader of the Holy Sect, and we still can't do without her!"

"Well, that's true!"

Koya walked out of the psychic room, and it was already dark by the moment. He asked again, "Now that everyone in the Holy Sect has fainted, how can I save them?"

"I'll come, you can activate the Force and activate my divine power!"

Keya walked outside the main hall, handed out the holy sword, and slowly burst out of fighting energy. The Holy Sword began to light up again, and suddenly, a clear sword roar resounded throughout the Holy Sect General Altar. Countless people woke up from the sound of the sword, they got up, shocked, questioned, and quickly ran towards Keya......

Late at night, under the leadership of Koya, all the people of the Holy Sect redeployed and cleared the battlefield. Only then did Koya learn that almost all of the Holy Swordsmen in the Sect had been killed or seriously wounded. And the mages have lost the support of their divine powers, and they can no longer heal them quickly. The Holy Sect's defense has fallen to its lowest point at this moment.

When people learned about the conspiracy of the Goddess of Joy, they gritted their teeth with hatred. Someone found the half-dead Lady Helen and wanted to execute her on the spot. But Keya stopped it, and the Goddess Helen worked hard to protect the Holy Sect during this time, which was obvious to everyone. Her life or death is better to wait for the Great Sage to wake up and listen to her.

Not long after, Saintess Irene hurried over and told him that the Great Lady had woken up and said that she would see him alone. After a few words, Keya turned around and walked towards the Psychic Room.

At this moment, in the psychic room, four vults of the sacred flame have been lit, illuminating the room as bright as day. When Koya walked in, he saw the Great Sage sitting on a stone bed with a pale face. He immediately knelt down in front of her and said respectfully, "Great Holy Maiden, are you better?"

The Great Sage smiled bitterly and said weakly, "Keya, you probably know, now I don't have any strength. In the future, the Holy Sect will only rely on you alone. ”

Keya said: "Great Holy Maiden, don't worry, as long as I live, I will never let the Holy Sect perish in our hands." And you also need to pay attention to your body, the Holy Religion also needs your leadership!"

"Well, get up, I'm a little better now. Sit down and let's talk about what to do in the future!"

Koya moved over a stone bench and sat down on the edge of the stone bed. "Great Sage, what's the matter with the Goddess of Joy Sect? Aren't they our friends? Then why did they come to kill us?"

The Great Sage shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure it's the will of the Goddess of Joy. I suspect that our goddess was killed by the goddess of joy!"

At that moment, the Great Sage retold all the conversations between Yuma and the Great Priestess Beth. After hearing this, Keya frowned and said, "In this way, the whereabouts of the goddess are unknown, and it must have something to do with the goddess of joy." But we can't take the word of the great goddess Beth and conclude that the goddess is dead without confirming it with our own eyes. And I guess the other gods don't know about this yet, otherwise they would have used this to demoralize us a long time ago! Our top priority is to do two things well. It is to preserve the inheritance of the goddess of the Holy Religion and to verify whether the goddess has died as soon as possible. Great Sage, look at these two things, how do we arrange them?"

The Great Sage nodded and said, "Lady Beth's words really can't be fully believed. The most important of these two things is the question of the life and death of the goddess. Because once the goddess is dead, our warriors and believers will inevitably lose the faith to fight. Then no matter how hard we try, the demise of the empire and the Holy Religion is inevitable. ”

Keya said, "Yes, the question is, where do we find the whereabouts of the goddess? We are mortals, and it is impossible for us to enter the world of gods." ”

"No, you can!" the Great Sage said, "Haven't you entered the realm of the Sword Saint? With the divine power of the Holy Sword, you can enter the realm of the gods." Merely...... Your current strength is not enough to exert the full power of the Holy Sword, and even if you do, it will not be of much use. ”

Ke Ya was stunned for a moment, and immediately clenched the holy sword in his hand, and asked in his heart, "Holy sword, is this true?"

"Of course, you've only just entered the Sanctuary. Your current Force can only activate a small part of my divine power. It's more than enough to deal with the strong human beings, but it's still far from dealing with the gods!"

The Great Sage sighed, and then said, "Goddess Beth has already perished, is she? But now, I'm afraid no one among the human race knows about it. But there is one God who may be able to help us, but I don't know if you will be able to see him. ”

Koya sighed, and was about to ask who the Great Sage was. The Holy Sword had already preempted the first step in Koya's mind and said, "Heprisius, the god of music, the fanatical suitor of the goddess!"

Sure enough, the Great Sage continued, "This god is Heprisius, the god of music, a god of justice. For thousands of years, he has been selflessly helping our goddess. If we can get his help, we should be able to find out the whereabouts of our goddess. ”

Keya said, "Then how do I find this god of music?"

The Great Sage sighed and said, "I don't know, the god of music has no fixed place and wanders everywhere. Among the heavenly gods, he is the most special one. Unless he wants to find you, you want to find him, it's really hard. ”

Keya smiled bitterly: "Then didn't you say it in vain?"

The Great Sage also smiled bitterly, and said, "By the way, where have you been in the past few months? I heard Prince Carlos say that you may have been captured by demons, and I have always been worried about you." ”

Keya said, "Hey, don't talk about me, I was thrown into a cave by the demon Dicaras and trapped for nearly three months. I managed to escape with great difficulty, otherwise I would have returned to the Holy Sect to fight. ”

The Great Sage said, "I heard that Britney and Diana are still looking for you in the wild mountains, do you know about this?"

Keya nodded and said, "I met them, if it weren't for Lady Afu saying that the Holy Sect was in danger at the moment, I would still be walking slowly with them in the mountains! Alas! Seeing that the Holy Sect is like this now, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to pick them up in a short time." ”

When the Great Sage heard the words Afu, her body suddenly trembled, and she asked urgently, "What? Ms. Afu?"

"Oh, when I was trapped in the cave, suddenly a woman fell from the entrance of the cave. I rescued her, and when I asked, she claimed to be Afu. He lied to me that she was a saint of the Holy Religion, and that she was your relative, and he didn't confess to me until later that it was all a lie. But she said that she has a deep relationship with you, Great Sage, do you know this woman named Afu?"

The Great Sage's whole body trembled, and she suddenly held Keya's hand, nervous, expectant, and excited and trembled: "This...... This Afu, she ...... What does she look like?"

Seeing that the Great Sage Maiden was actually excited like this, Keya thought to himself, "Huh, is that Lady Afu really a relative of the Great Sage?"

At this time, the holy sword said in his mind again: "Afu is the nickname of my goddess, and the angel of Weila suspects that this lady Afu is the goddess whose whereabouts are now unknown. By the way, what does this lady Afu look like? is she blue-haired, white-dressed, and barefoot?"

Keya was taken aback, and suddenly even his voice trembled, and he cried out, "Right...... Exactly!"

The Great Sage had already gotten out of bed at this time, and she eagerly grabbed Koya's arms and shouted, "What is this? What does this Afu look like? Where is she now?"

Ke Ya couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and said with difficulty: "The blue hair, white dress, and bare feet are extremely beautiful." Don't...... Is she our ...... Goddess?"

When the Great Sage Maiden heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, so she immediately jumped up and hugged Keya tightly. He laughed and shouted, "Really, is it really blue-haired, white-dressed, and barefoot? Koya, Koya, you are so great! That's what our goddess looks like!"

Keya Khan had no choice but to wrap his arms around her slender waist and said with a wry smile: "Great Sage, you ......" At the same time, he said to the Holy Sword in his heart: "Hey, this is not me blaspheming the Great Sage!"

Holy Sword: "...... I don't have eyes, I can't see!"

Suddenly, the Great Sage stopped moving. After about three blinks of her eyes, she suddenly strained her waist and suddenly left Keya's arms and sat back on the stone bed. It's just that her originally very pale face has turned red, and her hands are put up and down, her eyes are flickering, and she looks around, looking like she is in chaos in her heart, and she is completely overwhelmed.

Ke Ya understood the mood of the Great Sage Maiden just now, and anyone in that situation would lose her calm and ecstasy. So he coughed dryly and said, "Great Holy Maiden, can you be sure that this Afu is our daughter...... Woman...... Goddess?"

The Great Sage immediately came back to her senses and immediately said, "Where is she now?" I want to see her immediately, whether she is a goddess or not, I will know as soon as we meet!"

Keya smiled bitterly: "She...... She's still in the wild mountains, and all of a sudden, I'm afraid I won't be able to see her. ”

The Great Sage was anxious, and immediately stood up and said, "Oh......! How can you leave the goddess alone in the mountains, and what if something happens?"

Keya was also anxious, stood up and said, "I'...... How do I know she's a goddess? besides, she asked me to rush back alone to defend the Holy Religion. Or...... I'm going to rush back to pick her up now?"

The Great Sage said: "I'll go with you, I can't wait for a while, I have to see if she is a goddess right away." ”

Ke Ya was stunned for a moment and said, "But you...... Aren't you without divine powers?

The Great Sage said angrily: "You won't carry me, forgive you for your innocence! Anyway, your whole body has been touched all over you, do you still care about this?" As soon as the words rushed out, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and suddenly her face was swollen and red, and she hurriedly turned around and walked out of the psychic room.

Keya was also embarrassed, and thought, "Could it be that when I wiped her body, the Great Holy Maiden had already woken up?"

Holy Sword: "Holy Sect...... Looks like it's starting to get a little messy!"

Ke Ya hurriedly followed and walked out, only to see the Great Sage Maiden walking a few steps in front. Suddenly, he stopped again, turned around and said, "From the Holy Sect to the Wild Mountains, how long did it take you to fly?"

Keya was stunned for a moment and said, "One day and one night, at least!"

The Great Saintess said again: "Then you ask the Holy Sword, how long will it take to reach its fastest speed?"

Before Keya could ask, the Holy Sword had already replied in Keya's mind: "The Basinya region, according to this four hundred and twenty miles, I will take you to fly at full speed, and you can reach it in about one meal." However, I don't know where the goddess is in the mountains, so it's hard to say when it will be. But since you've been flying for a day and a night, I'll probably only need a tenth of your time!"

After hearing this, Keya said, "The Holy Sword said that it only takes one-tenth of my time. ”

The Great Saintess nodded, and continued to walk outside. Out of the Great Hall of Sacred Words, she looked up at the sky and said to Keya, "It's the middle of the night, if we move quickly, we should be able to bring the goddess back before dawn." If she's really a goddess, of course. According to the habit of the infidels to attack these days, they are strong and never attack at night. In addition, they think that the Great Priestess Beth is our helper, so they are bound to be more cautious. Then for the time being, the Holy Religion is still safe, and if we leave for a while, nothing should happen. Koya, hurry up, let's go!"

Ke Adam immediately walked over, ready to lift up the Great Saintess and fly together. But I saw that the Great Holy Maiden walked directly to the several apologetic swordsmen guarding the long steps of the main hall, and after a few words, she walked back.

Keya squatted down and said, "Great Holy Maiden, please hold on to my body." I'm afraid that the holy sword will fly too fast, and it will be troublesome if I accidentally drop you. ”

The Great Sage didn't say a word, just came over and lay on Koya's back, stretching out her hands and wrapping her arms around his neck tightly. Koya stood up with her hips on her backhand, and the Holy Sword suddenly lit up as the Force activated.

At this time, the voice of the holy sword, which was neither a man nor a woman, came to his head again: "Hold on to the hilt of the sword, don't let go!"

Keya said in his heart: "Understood!"

Then the holy sword suddenly let out a long roar, and a huge and incomparable force took Koya's hand and soared into the air, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the night sky.

Keya only felt that the wind was whirring in his ears, and that speed was simply beyond the reach of humans. The Great Sage Maiden lost her divine power, and she was so blown by the wind that she couldn't even open her eyes. Her long chestnut hair dragged straight in the air, and her white robe fluttered and hunted.

It's just that she seemed to suddenly remember something, secretly stretched out her mouth, and whispered in Keya's ear: "After seeing the goddess, you are not allowed to mention it to me...... Do you hear about cleaning me and changing my clothes?"

Poor Koya only had the whirring wind in his ears, and he didn't know what the Great Sage was talking about. I had to say loudly: "What?"

The Great Sage Maiden rolled her eyes, and her face turned blood-red again......
