Chapter 407: Surrender (2)

Translator: 549690339

Based on the Cardinal’s passionate speech and the fanatical reaction of the believers, Ji Ruo knew that the eye was called the Eye of Truth. Therefore, the full name of the Church of Universal Truth they found should be the Church of Universal Truth, the Eye of Truth Division…

“You can split your god apart and worship it?!”Ji Ruo said in shock.

The passionate speech of the red robe came to an abrupt end. The believers turned their heads abruptly and looked angrily at the two uninvited guests who had disturbed their worship of God.

When Liang Shixian saw this situation, he couldn’t care less. He quickly raised the arrest warrant in his hand and said,”Sorry, we didn’t mean to disturb you. We have very important information here and can’t be delayed!”

“Important information?”

The red-robed bishop sensed the familiar divine aura on the arrest warrant. He separated the angry crowd and came to Liang Shixian. He looked up so that Liang Shixian could look down on him.”You have news of that heretic?”

As he spoke, symbols of unknown meaning flashed in the Cardinal’s eyes, eventually forming two deep vortexes that seemed to be able to suck in a person’s soul.

“Answer me! ”

“Ah, yes, yes.” Liang Shixian subconsciously turned his head to the side, not looking straight into the Cardinal’s eyes.

He was telling the truth, but what he did felt a little unkind.

The symbols in the bishop’s eyes flickered more and more rapidly.”Truth Appraisal…”

The atmosphere gradually became tense. After a while, the Cardinal let out a sigh and said,””What you said is true.”

The believers cheered. Their branch was the first to receive the news that the gods needed. How could they not be happy?

Liang Shixian heaved a sigh of relief.

The red-robed bishop grabbed Liang Shixian’s arm and said coldly,””Tell me, where is the heretic!”

Liang Shixian blinked. He did not understand why this guy was suddenly so close to him and even gently pinched his arm…

“What about the remuneration?” Liang Shixian did not let his guard down.” The disciples were stunned for a moment before they burst into laughter.

” We, the Church of Universal Truth, disdain to do such a thing!” a believer said proudly.” What we believe in and abide by is the truth!”

“We don’t believe in your gods. We believe in the principle of ‘one hand gives money, one hand’! ‘”‘

The believers were about to get angry when the red-robed bishop suddenly raised his hand.

“Interesting. Alright, we can pay you first, but you must swear an oath under the Eye of Truth to guarantee that everything you say next is true and what we need.”

As he spoke, the red-robed bishop took out a small Eye of Truth.

“Of course you can.”

Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian swore an oath under the gaze of the Eye of Truth, and the Cardinal handed over the bounty to the two of them according to the rules.

” I’ll give you ten gold coins if you provide me with information,” the red-robed bishop said. We’ve already paid you. Now, it’s your turn.”

Ji Ruo nodded and took the arrest warrant from Liang Shixian’s hand. Then, he took off his mask and fisherman’s hat.

“Take a look. Is this the person you’re looking for?”

The disciples were all stunned when they saw Ji Ruo’s face, which was exactly the same as the one on the arrest warrant.

The red-robed bishop obviously did not expect such a turn of events. He pointed at Ji Ruo with a trembling finger.” You, you, you..

“Is he the person you’re looking for?” Ji Ruo asked again.

The Eye of Truth gave him feedback, and the red-robed bishop subconsciously said, Yes, it’s indeed the person you’re looking for…”

Ji Ruo clapped his hands and said,” Alright, the deal is over. Happy cooperation. Goodbye!

Saying that, Ji Ruo used Shadow Steps and left the encirclement.

Liang Shixian smiled shyly and said, “Then we’ll leave first.’

Then, he bent his knees and jumped out of the crowd, following Ji Ruo.

The believers were stunned for a long time.

“That… Bishop, didn’t we almost complete Lord Truth’s mission just now?”A disciple muttered.

” Yes…!!!” The red-robed bishop came back to his senses and gritted his teeth.””Damn it, catch up! Don’t let them escape!”

Only then did everyone react.

“Damn it! Why would someone come to collect their own bounty?”

“Is this something a human can do?”

“Heretic, heretic! Damn it!”

The believers were so angry that their noses were crooked. They could not care less about worshipping and chased after the two who had escaped.

The red-robed bishop trembled in anger. He held the miniature Eye of Truth and came to the bottom of the statue to report the situation to the truth. He also prayed for the gods to grant him the strength to chase after the fugitive and make up for his mistakes.

Under the red-robed bishop’s ashamed whisper, the stone statue seemed to come alive. Divine light flowed, and its eyes opened a slit.

He first glanced at the worshippers who were running away in a hubbub, and then turned his gaze to the red-robed bishop.

The red-robed bishop broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly said, Great

Eternal Truth, you-”

Before he could finish his bootlicker speech, the statue suddenly released a beam of divine power. Under the red-robed bishop’s fanatical gaze, the beam of light landed directly on the red-robed bishop’s forehead.

The sound of flesh being roasted could be heard, and a strange meat fragrance rose from the empty church. The red bishop’s hair turned silver, and his body was bending at a visible speed. Many wrinkles appeared on his skin…

A pattern identical to the Eye of Truth was imprinted on the red-robed bishop’s forehead.

The intense pain made the veins on the Cardinal’s forehead and neck throb, but he did not cry out in pain.

This was the gaze of the gods!

“The great eternal truth! Your gaze can see through all illusions and unknown, and…”

“Hurry up and catch him!”

“We will obey your will!”

The red-robed bishop quickly turned around, and the divine eye pattern on his glabella opened. The entire world instantly turned into countless lines in his eyes. They were orderly and disorderly, interweaving with each other, turning into the most realistic appearance of the world.

He lowered his head and a line appeared under his feet.

One end of the line was connected to the old bishop, and the other end was connected to Ji Ruo!

The bishop took a step forward, and the space around him contracted. He instantly appeared beside Ji Ruo.

Truth: The line between two points is the shortest!

Ji Ruo was startled by this old man who had suddenly appeared. Whether it was his divine sense or his martial artist intuition, he actually did not discover how the other party had appeared here!

“Heretic, your doomsday has arrived… Stop-ouch!”

Although he was surprised, Ji Ruo had no intention of stopping. While the bishop was talking, Ji Ruo used the Eight Extremities Sky, Explosive Feet, and ran away again as if he had teleported.

Liang Shixian, who was following closely behind, kept looking back at the progress of the followers behind him, so he did not notice that the red-robed bishop had suddenly appeared in front of him.

By the time he noticed it, the bishop had already been knocked away by him…

“Eh? I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose! I really didn’t see it!”

Liang Shixian, who realized that he had knocked an old man away, subconsciously wanted to go back and check on the other party’s injuries. However, when he saw that the other party was floating in the air and cursing angrily, he lost the mood to go back and check.

He could still fly and had the strength to curse. He didn’t seem to be injured…

Ji Ruo came to the bush where he had been hiding and called Sheerah and Emily to run away together.

Sheerah didn’t expect Ji Ruo to really receive the bounty.

First Line Instinct frantically warned!

“Eye of Truth!”

The Eye of Truth between the Cardinal’s eyebrows shone brightly. Except for Ji Ruo and the others, everything lost its color in an instant and turned into the most basic black and white lines.

The red-robed bishop flicked his hands repeatedly, and countless lines interweaved in a chaotic manner before being kneaded into a ball by the bishop.

In just a few seconds, the color returned, but the world had changed.

The chaotic lines were twisted into a ball. After the color returned, it turned into a huge barrier, completely blocking the escape route of Ji Ruo and the others.

However, Ji Ruo and the others were nowhere to be seen.

The bishop looked even older after the big move. Fortunately, the feedback from the truth told him that Ji Ruo and the others had not left this place. Moreover, the lines controlled by the Eye of Truth were not as simple as forming a barrier in the material world. It also involved many abstract rules or concepts.

If they did not find the original correct path, no matter which direction they took, they would only be walking in circles.

“Find him! Find them! They can’t escape!”
