When the camel team leader saw the knives in their hands, his face changed. He looked at Yu Lan behind him in horror. Seeing that she did not express anything, he replied, "Sir, we are a caravan from Chiying City and we are going back now."

"Caravan?" The leading red-robed swordsman obviously didn't believe it. He sneered, "If it's a caravan, then where are the goods?"

The leader of the camel caravan had no way of saying anything as all their merchandise and goods were lost in the sandstorm. In that situation, they were lucky enough to have managed to save their lives; how could they have the ability to save the merchandise?

At this time, something worse happened.

Several red-robed men saw Lucius and his companions in black robes at the back of the team and shouted, "Sir, we have found the apostle of the new god!"

"What!" The red-robed leader glared at the camel team leader angrily: "Since you are the running dogs of the new god, there is no need to spare your lives. Kill them all!"

"Yes!" The red-robed swordsmen received the order and drew their swords to kill people. However, just when the swords were about to hit people, they found that their hands seemed to be blocked by some invisible force and they could not move at all.

"Wait." Yu Lan sighed helplessly in her heart. She took a few steps forward and came to the red-robed leader: "Who are you and why do you want to kill the New God's people?"

"Who are you?" The red-robed leader was startled when he saw the dark red robe on Yu Lan, but he still pretended nothing happened and pulled out his knife to point at Yu Lan: "Why are you hiding? Get off the camel and take off your hat!"

"Okay." Yu Lan nodded: "But you have to let them go."

"Humph." The red-robed leader snorted, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."

Yu Lan pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled. She snapped her fingers, and the red-robed swordsmen beside her were all tied up by the red magic power and gathered in the air, shouting in fear.

"now what?"

Seeing the woman in front of him easily restrain them, the red-robed leader put away his contempt. He noticed that the spell used by Yu Lan was very familiar, so he asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are." Yu Lan sat on the camel and said nonchalantly, "If I'm not mistaken, you are from the Old Gods?"

"You are not allowed to call our God with such contemptuous words. Our God is Carmel, the God of Light! Human, please show some respect to our God!"

But isn't it even more disrespectful to call God by his name? Yu Lan just thought about it with doubt, and whispered softly: "God of Light Carmel... is he the old god?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Lan felt a very oppressive gaze staring at her. She took a deep breath. This feeling was very familiar. It seemed that Gamel was not completely dead. He was waiting for an opportunity to act in secret.

Seeing that Yu Lan's attitude was slow, the red-robed leader smiled smugly: "Well, are you scared after hearing my master's name? Hurry up and get off the camel and let our people go!"

Before Yu Lan could reply, Lucius behind her suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! Sir, this is unjust!"

Yu Lan:?

She turned around in confusion and saw Lucius and his team members stumbling up to the red-robed leader. They excitedly took his hand and said, "Sir, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

It was the first time for the red-robed leader to be held by the hand and talked to like this by a believer of the New God. He let out a confused "ah" and then heard Lucius crying.

"To be honest, sir, I have always been a believer in the God of Light. The New Gods are all aliens! I have always wanted to join you, but the people of the Red Church were all persecuted by the New Gods and had to hide. So I could only join the New Gods' Church and infiltrate them to collect useful intelligence, so that I can see you one day and avenge you!"

This oath not only confused the red-robed leader, but also everyone present.

Yu Lan looked at Lucius meaningfully. This guy was truly a traitor among traitors. He was really good at acting. It was hard to tell which of the words they said were true and which were false.

Forget it, they are all players, how can they be loyal to me sincerely? They are all traitors. Just as she was thinking this, the red-robed leader pondered for a while and asked slowly: "You are the one wearing the clothes of the evil god. If you want me to believe you, show some sincerity."

"Of course!" Lucius nodded affirmatively, and then pointed at Yu Lan: "She has your holy relic!"

Yu Lan:?

She pulled up the corners of her mouth, her smile grew wider, and finally she laughed out loud, scaring Lucius so much that he retreated behind the red-robed leader.

He had just thought for a long time whether to stay in the New God camp and wait for the endless mission to end, or to join the Old God camp to help them defeat the New God. Just as he was hesitating, the Old God's people actually came!

Lucius certainly would not miss this opportunity. He was still immersed in the excitement of changing camps, and he quickly killed Yu Lan. Now thinking about it, he suddenly felt scared.

He almost forgot that Tinglan is a very mysterious person with considerable strength. If he exposes her so rashly, she will definitely retaliate against him!

The red robe leader didn't think too much about it. He was very angry when he heard that Yu Lan had the holy relic of the Red Church on her: "How can our things fall into the hands of others? Hand it over quickly!"

As he spoke, he raised his knife and slashed at the camel under Yu Lan. A bloody mark immediately appeared on the camel's leg, and it ran madly in pain.

Yu Lan jumped lightly and slapped the camel, knocking it unconscious. Then she turned over nimbly and came behind the red-robed leader.

The red-robed leader was shocked by Yu Lan's skills. He quickly turned around and looked at her, then took out a bone whistle from his arms and blew it. After a while, more red-robed swordsmen appeared nearby, staring at Yu Lan.

Yu Lan was not in a hurry. She played with the handle of the incense burner in her hand and said slowly, "Lucius, you are really calculating. Are you holding a grudge? Or... are you afraid?"

Lucius seemed to have been stabbed in the heart. He hid behind the red-robed leader and said, "What do you care? Hand over the holy relic!"

Since he couldn't get the holy relic, he had to at least use it to qualify for the Red Church, so he wouldn't lose out.

"Of course, no problem." Yu Lan said without hesitation: "Since this thing belongs to your sect, I will of course give it to you. But I have one condition."

"You are not qualified to negotiate with me." The red-robed leader said, he raised the knife in his hand, signaling the surrounding red-robed swordsmen to attack Yuan, but found that they were all standing there stupidly.

The woman in the crimson robe sneered, and the red-robed leader looked at her in surprise. Could it be that she did all this? !

Before he could figure it out, a familiar and powerful force suddenly pressed down on the red-robed leader, making it difficult for him to breathe.

This... This is impossible. He has only felt this power in front of the bishop. Could it be that this mysterious woman in red is also one of the bishops? No, this is impossible!

The red-robed woman was still laughing softly as she walked step by step towards the red-robed leader and Lucius and the others.

As she approached, the red-robed leader felt the temperature around him drop suddenly, and the coolness penetrated into his body.

It's over. He thought to himself, I must have offended the bishop... It's over, I'm going to be killed!

Just when he was afraid, the red-robed leader suddenly felt the pressure on him disappear, and a pair of white hands appeared in front of him. When he looked up, it was the red-robed woman.

The red-robed leader was lying on the ground, looking up at Yu Lan. From his perspective, he could see half of her face under the hood. Her red lips were slightly curled, which was indescribably charming, and... and her drooping white hair!

The red-robed leader stared at Yu Lan in disbelief: "White...white..."

"Hmm?" Yu Lan raised her hand to tuck the hair that fell on her face behind her ears, then smiled and patted the red-robed leader's face: "Don't be so scared, I won't hurt you. What I want to say is that you can ask me to give you the holy relic, but you are not qualified. I want to meet someone who is qualified to take the thing, so that I can feel at ease."

As she spoke, Yu Lan reached out and pulled the man up, without even looking at Lucius who was glaring at her from behind.

"You, you said you would give us the holy relic?" The red-robed leader said in disbelief, and then saw Yu Lan snap his fingers, and all the red-robed swordsmen around him resumed action.

"Well, of course." Yu Lan smiled meaningfully.

"Okay, okay." Seeing Yu Lan's sincere expression, the red-robed leader made a confused gesture and said, "Release them all."

The camel team leader's men resumed their actions, and Yu Lan said, "They are really a caravan that got lost in the desert. The camel team leader is also your believer. He won't expose what's going on here, right?"

Seeing Yu Lan slightly tilt her head to talk to him, the camel team leader nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt something in his arms. He lowered his head and took it out, and found that it was the Bible of the Old God Church. He held up the red-covered book in his hand and said loudly, "Look, sir, I am a believer of your church. We will never expose what you are doing here!"

When the red-robed leader saw the Bible, he calmed down a little and his expression eased a little, but he didn't know that it was something that Yu Lan had conjured up using magic.

When Yu Lan and Long Shiqing were helping the dead souls to be reincarnated, she had seen the book on one of the people. She guessed that it was something from the Old God Church, so she used illusion to copy one and asked the camel team leader to take it out.

The leader of the camel team also knew that it was Yu Lan who did it in order to save their lives, so he looked at her with gratitude.

Yu Lan didn't look back and whispered, "Can you let them go now and take me to see your boss?"

"Okay, that's enough." The red-robed leader waved his hand and assigned a group of people to take the camel team leader out. He and the others took Yu Lan to their lair.

What Yu Lan didn't expect was that their lair was actually underground.

The red-robed leader took Yu Lan to a strange-shaped stone, then took out something and pressed it against the stone. Yu Lan didn't see what it was, and suddenly a vortex appeared under the rocks. The vortex grew bigger and bigger, gradually spreading in front of everyone.

The red-robed swordsman behind him jumped down first. The red-robed leader looked at Yu Lan and made a gesture of invitation. Yu Lan was not panicked at all. She put away the incense burner, took out the locust wood lantern, and jumped down as well.

Feeling weightless, Yu Lan estimated the distance in her mind, and then used her magic power to exert a force under her feet in advance. When she realized she had reached the ground, she used the magic power as a buffer to prevent herself from falling. Lucius and the others following behind were in a miserable situation. They had no experience and were in a very embarrassing situation when they fell. Only Long Shiqing, who was at the end of the team, also made a similar buffer, which prevented her from being so embarrassed.

It was too dark underground, so dark that it seemed to swallow up the light. Yu Lan moved her hands slightly, and the light of the lantern increased rapidly, illuminating the surrounding scene.

They came to a stone chamber underground. In addition to her and Lucius and the others, there was a group of people wearing pointed hats and red robes. They almost filled the entire stone chamber and tightly surrounded Yu Lan and the others.

Behind him, the red-robed leader also jumped out of the hole above the stone chamber. He walked up to Yu Lan and said to the red-robed man in the pointed hat, "This is the one holding the holy relic. The ones behind her want to join us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man wearing a red hat with gold edges walked out of the crowd. Unlike the other people in red robes, his red robe was a little darker in color. He also did not cover his face with a hood like the others, but wore a white mask.

"Bishop." The red-robed leader called out respectfully. The bishop nodded slightly. He looked at Yu Lan and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, Excellency? Why do you have the holy relic of our church?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. I will give you your things, but." Yu Lan tilted her head and looked around: "I don't think this is a good place to have a conversation."

The red-robed bishop nodded slightly, and the believers behind him made way for him: "Please."

Yu Lan followed the red-robed bishop and observed the surrounding movements. Yu Lan did not expect that there would be a huge underground palace under the stone forest. The red-robed bishop led Yu Lan through layers of stone steps and then came to a large room, which was almost exactly the same as the vestibule of the church that Yu Lan had seen in the deserted city.

The hall was brightly lit with candles. The orange-yellow candlelight made the light of the locust wood lantern seem very dim. The faint blue candlelight flickered as Yu Lan walked, but it never went out completely.

The red-robed leader sat down at the top, looking down at Yu Lan: "This cultivator, please return the sacred object of my sect."

Yu Lan took out the box straightforwardly. After the red-robed bishop sensed the aura on the box, he paused slightly and confirmed that this was indeed the holy relic of their church.
