Chapter 853 Shadow of the Abyss

Under the premise that stability must be maintained at critical moments, the three elders of the Holy Lord clan chose to remain silent in the face of major issues of right and wrong.

His performance was immediately noticed by several abyss priests who had completely fallen.

Immediately, several abyss nobles in charge of this continent in the abyss smiled.

During their days in the abyss, they saw too many so-called wise men who thought they could control themselves and not be tempted by the abyss and fall.

However, from ancient times to the present, no one below the Morning Star has ever succeeded.

There are many examples of people like the Wizard of Morning Star who represent the will of the continent, who were deceived by the abyss and became an abyss lord, and even brought along the original continent as a burial object.

Several of these abyss nobles have already taken precautions. After the third elder falls, they will teach him hard and make him understand his stupidity at this time.

“He who looks into the abyss will be looked into by the abyss.”

"Our arrangements in the Saint Continent are finally complete."

An abyssal flame demon crawled out from the lava continent, looked at the third elder in the crystal ball, smiled evilly and said: "We should also be prepared."

"Wait until the Holy Lord clan sacrifices the divine weapon."

"Immediately call upon the will of the abyss to come to the secret realm, and then everyone will bleed together, forcefully come there, and steal the artifact!"

"As it should be!" Several abyss nobles of different shapes nodded in agreement with the plan of the abyss flame demon.

In fact, if they hadn't discovered that the giant from the Canyon of the Gods appeared in the Saint Continent.

They prefer a slowly infiltrating combat plan, with absolute top brass like the Third Elder as cover.

With the methods of the Abyss nobles, they are confident that within a hundred years, most of the Presbyterian Church will be replaced by their people.

When the time comes, even the great elders and others will be shocked to find that normal people like them have become a minority.

Either he is complicit, or he has no choice but to be eliminated, beaten down, and accused of being a lackey of the abyss.

Then, until the entire continent completely collapses and the abyss begins to eat, the abyss will let the truth come to light and let the creatures on the continent realize that they have been deceived and have as much anger and despair as possible, the two spices that the abyss likes.

To serve as a meal for it to eat the entire continent.

It's a pity that this plan that most pleases the will of the abyss and maximizes the benefits for them, the abyss nobles, was messed up by the invasion of the giants.

After witnessing the giant chopping melons and vegetables, he defeated the coalition forces of the Holy Lord.

Even the abyss nobles who have never personally come into contact with giants are instinctively afraid of giants.

Not to mention the Abyss Flame Demon, an old opponent who has been in contact with Xiao Yu many times.

They haven't officially started a war with Xiao Yu, but they have already chosen to admit defeat.

He only planned to pack up and take away the greatest benefits of the Saint Continent during the free time before the giant was ready to invade the entire continent.

Instead of worrying about the abandoned mineral land, Xiao Yu planned to hollow out the land and take it away.

On the other side of the abyss, the natural purpose is much clearer.

The most precious artifact of the Holy Lord clan is naturally regarded as their biggest target.

For this reason, he was already prepared to spend a lot of money to forcefully break through the space barrier and descend directly into the secret realm.

However, where the Holy Lord's artifact is is a secret that Abyss has not yet explored.

Therefore, they can only place their hope in the choices made by the Third Elder and others as the will of the abyss continues to amplify their greedy instincts.

The most majestic circular presbytery hall in the secret realm of the Holy Lord clan.

More than a hundred elders representing their respective families and factions sat around the circular staircase, staring at the three elders standing on the central circular platform.

"Everyone, there is no doubt that our Holy Lord clan has reached its most dangerous moment!"

The third elder spoke first, looking around to explain the necessity of his suggestion: "The terrifying giant force that suddenly came from the south, according to our initial guess, it should only stay for a short time."

"However, so many days have passed, and we have seen more and more of the giant's men coming to our Saint Continent."

"The entire Golden Wood Kingdom has ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and countless green mountains and green waters were directly dug into sinkholes by giant alchemy creations sent by giants."

"We must admit that we underestimated the threat posed to us by the giants from the beginning."

The third elder said this, looking at the slightly changed expressions of the elders around him, he paused and said loudly: "Obviously, there must be a powerful force behind the giants that is no less than the Forbidden Land, allowing them to stay longer in the Saint Continent. long time.”

"I dare not predict how long this period of time will be, but from the large amount of on-the-ground intelligence brought by the spies, I boldly guess that it will be at least enough for them to carry out a second large-scale invasion!"

"Second invasion?"

The elders began to whisper, and someone nodded from time to time.

Many of them have obtained relevant information.

Especially Xiao Yu's single-man excavator that is doing a lot of digging.

Although it seemed like that to Xiao Yu, it was not as shocking as the Infinite Justice mecha.

But to the people of Lilliput, the excavator is simply an alchemical beast dedicated to pushing mountains.

One paw down... and the mountain of earth is gone.

Or maybe a huge pit that is deeper and bigger than a mass grave will appear immediately.

It’s visually stunning, it’s really amazing.

It also made them panic if the giant forces really swept across the entire continent.

Even if they have to leave in the end.

What's the point of their Saint Lord clan running out to take over a continent that is riddled with holes and devastated?

If they really only rely on a few hidden secret realms, even if the Morning Star Wizard reappears, I'm afraid that even the Morning Star Wizard will starve to death, right?

Such a future made the elders shudder, and more and more people supported the proposal of the third elder.

The second elder has red hair and a body similar to a sumo wrestler, and his brows are tightly furrowed.

He also feels deeply about the third elder's worries. In the battle against the giants, several of his disciples were captured.

But... the second elder's intuition always makes him feel that things are not that simple.

He always feels that it is not appropriate to violate the ancestral precepts and force the use of the artifact before the Morning Star-level offspring is born.

"Grand Elder... What do you think?"

The second elder looked at the Grand Elder who had been keeping his eyes closed and asked in a low voice.

"It's not time to use the artifact yet." Upon hearing this, the Great Elder slowly opened his blank eyes and waved his hand gently, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Then, the great elder replied:

"The Morning Star Wizard is our ultimate trump card. We cannot use it unless we have no other choice."

"According to the ancestral precepts, to use the artifact, at least one disciple must become a half-step Morning Star and comprehend the secrets of the Dharma to be qualified!"

"Great elder, the problem is that we can't wait!"

The third elder gritted his teeth and challenged the authority of the great elder for the first time: "This time, the abyss took advantage of the giant's attack and attacked the geniuses of our factions."

"Even if we put all our efforts into training, it will take at least a year to produce a candidate who meets the requirements."

"At that time... let alone the giant, what should we do if the abyss attacks again?"

The third elder opened his hands and shouted:

"The abyss is not that giant... we can't hide or dodge."

"Enough."

The great elder said slowly, and the whole hall was immediately shrouded in his silence spell, making the third elder blush, but unable to speak.

"Don't mention the use of artifacts anymore."

"As for the Morning Star relics in the Elders' Council's treasure house, everyone can submit a list. I will approve anything that is not too excessive."

Having said this, the Great Elder was about to announce a recess.

Suddenly, a burst of cheers rang out, and soon penetrated the wall, so that everyone in the Elders' Council could hear it.

"What's wrong?"

The Great Elder frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a small door was opened. A deacon who had been waiting outside the door lowered his head and trotted in, saying excitedly:

"Young Master Yu suddenly had a blessing in his heart, breaking through a great realm and becoming a half-step Morning Star!"

"And... the Dharma image behind the young master turned from virtual to real, turning into a flaming golden eagle. Obviously, he has comprehended the mystery of the Dharma image!"

"What? At this time, someone actually broke through?"

As the Great Elder heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't keep silent.

The Elders' Council suddenly became noisy.

Even the Second Elder smiled and shouted that this was the great grace of the feedback of the will of the Saint Continent.

On the contrary, the Third Elder seemed a little hesitant.

Young Master Yu was one of the candidates in the Third Elder's faction.

This should have been a great thing for the Third Elder. Maybe in the future he could rely on this opportunity to break through a realm again and take the position of the Great Elder.

However... the Third Elder was very clear.

Something was wrong with this matter!

That Young Master Yu was a companion of the Third Elder who sensed the same aura!

The shadow of the abyss suddenly enveloped the Third Elder's heart.
