corner.

The wind was inexplicably cold tonight, Nian Bei caught off guard and sneezed, losing her posture slightly.She stopped on the spot, "What's going on, I have a bad feeling today."

"Hmph, if you have any bad premonitions, Hongyue is the one who calls me, no matter how you look at it, you are not as unlucky as me." Nian Ci snorted, her relationship with Nian Bei could not be said to be particularly close, but they served the tower together. It's been a month and a year, and it's always closer than others.

"Hongyue is already in the altar, and the ceremony will be held in seven days. When she dies, we have nothing to worry about." Nian Bei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Before this, the altar has not been fully built, and the group of refiners are really ink marks. When I come out of the altar, I will go to remind the group of refiners. Why don't you go?"

Nianci was trying to push the trivial things she didn't want to do to Nianbei beside her, but after three breaths, Nianbei did not respond to her.

"Why? Don't you want to go? Don't forget that Hongyue is the one who calls me—"

Nianci's voice froze in an instant, and his body collapsed without warning, comatose together with Nianci who had not responded.

Afterwards, the two identity tokens were pulled away by the spiritual force and detached from the waists of the two.

"The illusion for the two of them is enough to last for two hours, and then they will wake up thinking that they have finished their work." Advanced illusion is not difficult for Chu Yan.

"it is good."

Wu Baishuang nodded.

"Let's go in." After Chu Yan's voice fell, he raised his hand and set up a layer of illusion around him and Wu Baishuang. No one could see through his illusion unless he met a strong man in the holy realm.

"By the way, they also said that Hongyue is in the altar."

Hongyue is already a strong person in the holy realm, and it will be quite difficult to meet her when investigating the situation of the altar.

"Senior Wan Kun said that Hongyue is ignorant of the world and is like a weapon. Her range of activities in the altar should not be very large unless there is a big commotion." Chu Yan analyzed.

"It's best not to meet her at this juncture." Wu Baishuang's mood was a bit complicated. Regarding Hongyue, she couldn't say that she was completely an enemy, nor could she be said to be a relative by blood.

After the conversation, Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan walked towards the altar.

With the identity tokens on Nianci and Nianbei, the two of them easily passed through the outermost barrier and entered the altar of the Guangming Church.

The altar of the Guangming Church is large in scale, and the building is extremely magnificent, and it pays attention to the ancient charm. The cloud patterns on every corner and pillar make Wu Baishuang feel inexplicably familiar.

"It's a bit like the ancient architectural style of the Sun Moon Continent. This altar itself is not simple, and may even have some special details."

What is special about it can't be seen with just two or three eyes, unless they get the blueprint of this altar.

"Yes, the runes engraved on the buildings are also ancient characters."

Chu Yan responded, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the crowds on the other side, "There are a lot of people over there, and they don't look like priests of the Illuminati Church."

Either the clergy, or those who were captured by the Church of Light.

Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan followed the figure and rushed over. The identity phantoms they used now were Nianci and Nianbei, and they had no problem bumping into practitioners below the holy realm.

On the periphery of the altar are twelve intersecting circular staircase avenues, spreading from the ground to the top of the altar, giving a sense of sight of spider feet.

Wu Baishuang and the others are near one of the avenues, and those long queues of practitioners are responsible for building the stairs here.

Chu Yan diffused his perception, and after a while, he said, "They are all earth-level practitioners, and they still retain their sanity."

"Oh?" Wu Baishuang was surprised by this.

When they came in disguised as earth-level practitioners, all the fellow practitioners were forced to lose their minds by the drug, and there are still sober people here?

"It seems to be a mercenary from the Yancheng Mercenary Union." Chu Yan spoke again.

The three major trade unions in Yancheng were all arrested, and the rest of the ordinary practitioners were not spared either. Thanks to their friendship with the craftsmen's union, the Guangming Church did not erase their sanity, but kept them sanity Build an altar.

Ordinary cultivators can still retain their combat power after wiping off their minds, but the three professions of craftsman, pharmacist, and animal trainer cannot. When they lose their minds, they also lose the ability to refine weapons, refine medicines, and train animals.

And the sanity of the mercenary union and others was left behind because these sub-professional practitioners would usually meet old acquaintances, so they wouldn't be too overwhelmed to commit suicide before the altar was completed.

This is also the means by which the gods control people's hearts.

After all, giving people false hope is better to control than despair.

Wu Baishuang looked around the crowd, "I didn't see any acquaintances, and I didn't see anyone from Zhegui Mercenary Group either. This place seems to be from the Goshawk Mercenary Group."

Just after Wu Baishuang's words fell, a scent of food blew in the direction of the night wind, making the two of them feel a meal.

Heaven-level cultivators don't need to eat, and they have been busy recently, so it's been a long time since eating for entertainment.

But where is this meal sent?

The red moon in the altar is a practitioner of the holy realm, so naturally she doesn't need to eat.Priests should not eat at places like the altar, and it should only be given to the mercenaries who built the altar.

Under the light of the white candle, a capable woman led dozens of cooks from the corner to the mercenaries who were busy all night.

"It's an acquaintance, Su Lan, the shopkeeper of Yancheng at that time." Facing the light, Chu Yan recognized the woman.

"Let's go to her and ask about the situation." Wu Baishuang's eyes lit up.It is much easier to have acquaintances, not only to facilitate communication, but also to have a basis for mutual trust.

However, Su Lan who was recognized by Wu Baishuang did not recognize them, because of the existence of illusion, Su Lan could only see the figures of "Nianci" and "Nianbei".

"Sister Lan, why did these two spirit girls come to you all of a sudden? Isn't it enough that they took Miss Qi Yin away?"

"Sister Lan, you still don't want to go there, these two spirit girls are snake-hearted, and there will be no good results at all."

"..."

The mercenaries were quite worried about Su Lan's situation.

And Su Lan herself is very clear, it is precisely because she lives so clearly that it is impossible not to go.

Su Lan untied the apron from her waist, "What to do with so much nonsense, I can't die, who will cook for you after death, take care of yourself."

Under the light of the white candle, everyone's face showed a sad look.This is not only a concern for Su Lan, but also for their future, the altar will be completed soon, and they don't know what will happen to them.

Su Lan sighed, glanced at the direction of "Nianci" and "Nianbei", and walked over as if resigned to fate.

"I don't know what the two adults want from me?" Su Lan asked cautiously.

"There are some things I need to ask you to understand, let's talk about it in the past."

"Is there anything that cannot be said in person?" After Su Lan finished speaking, she keenly noticed the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere.

Su Lan took a step back, raising her guard against the two people in front of her.

Wu Baishuang slightly raised his eyebrows. He just used the holy step soundproof note just now to avoid the conversation from being heard by others.

"Shopkeeper Su Lan, you don't have to be nervous." Wu Baishuang gestured to Chu Yan, asking him to temporarily withdraw their illusion in front of Su Lan.

"My God!" After recognizing Wu Baishuang, Su Lan suddenly exclaimed, "Your Excellency Wu Baishuang."

"It's me." Wu Baishuang nodded, "We temporarily used the identity of other people to sneak in to inquire about information. We originally wanted to ask those mercenaries, but we happened to meet you. Can you tell us about the altar of the Church of Light? ?”

"Of course, we have been waiting for rescue from the outside world for a long time..."

Su Lan knew everything about Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan's questions, and her tone was obviously excited. Ever since she was trapped in this ghost place, meeting Wu Baishuang and them was the only good news.

The altar was planned to be built by the Church of Light a long time ago, but there were very few refiners working for them at that time, and there was not enough manpower, so they could only make a rough outline.

After the Guangming Church occupied Yancheng, they took away all the refiners from the Refiner Union.The fine structure of the altar began to be built day and night, and even a brick and a tile had to be carefully refined by the refiner, and then the mercenaries built them up.

"Originally, except for the three sub-professional unions, other practitioners were responsible for the construction tasks. But seven days ago, the heavenly practitioners were taken away by the Guangming Church, and the whereabouts of the head of the Goshawk Mercenary Corps and Qi Yin are unknown. Never came back."

"Is there anything unusual about the Beast Trainer's Union and the Alchemist's Union?" Wu Baishuang asked again.

"The Beast Trainer Union is helping the members of the Church of Light to tame monsters, and there are some private activities that I don't know much about. As for the members of the Alchemist Union..." Su Lan sneered on the corner of her lips when she said this, "Heh , They have long colluded with the people of the Guangming Church, and they are busy making ecstasy for the Guangming Church, wagging their tails more frequently than dogs."

Wu Baishuang was lost in thought.

"..." There were some clues about the matter of the alchemist's union at the beginning, but I didn't expect that the game of the Guangming Church would be so big.Now it seems that the rescue plan can temporarily put aside the pharmacist union and save some energy.

"What is the range of activities you are allowed to do now?" Chu Yan asked at this moment.

"It can only be on the outer layer. The inner layer is full of clergymen in white robes. We are not allowed to enter." Su Lan replied.

The altar has a total of three layers of enchantment restrictions.

The first layer is a holy barrier that hides the entire altar, then there is a barrier between the outer layer and the inner layer, and there is a final barrier between the inner layer and the core.The degree of defense increases sequentially.

Wu Baishuang reckoned that the identity cards of Nian Ci and Nian Bei would not be able to enter the core of the altar, so they would probably be able to find out about the situation on the outer layer of the altar today.

"Do you have any clues about the festival of the Bright Church?"

Su Lan replied: "The grand ceremony to be held seven days later is said to be to sacrifice to the God of Light and let the god bestow blessings. The Lord of God attaches great importance to this, and will send many priests to supervise the work every day."

"How can there be a god in this world..." Wu Baishuang was incredulous.

Su Lan shook her head, "We don't know about it, but those believers who have lost their minds are talking about this."

"It may also be a secret method. This altar is very weird. We need to get the blueprint of the altar." Chu Yan thought.

"As for the blueprints, there are only a small part of the mercenaries. Most of them are on the refiner's side, but according to the style of the Church of Light, it is impossible to give all the blueprints to the refiner." Su Lan was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, you can go back first, and save some blueprints if you can collect them. We will come in again tomorrow." Wu Baishuang said, "As for the Artifact Refiner's Union, Ah Yan and I will also go there."

"Don't worry too much. Both Wancheng and Shengyun College are ready to go to war with the Guangming Church. The current predicament is temporary."

"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news from the two gentlemen." Su Lan nodded, her expression relaxed a lot. After saying this, she turned and walked towards the direction she came from.

After getting a lot of information from Su Lan, Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan planned to investigate the inner layer of the altar.

However, before they stepped into the inner barrier, several spiritual women hurried out from the inner layer with the priests.

"Master Nianci, Lord Nianbei." When the spiritual girls saw the two of them, they stopped far away to salute.

"Is everything settled?" Wu Baishuang asked aloud, speaking in a calm manner.

"The sacrifices ordered earlier have been placed properly. Tomorrow, put the heavenly cultivators prepared in the dungeon into it, and it will be completed." The spiritual girl replied respectfully.

"Where is Lord Hongyue?"

The spirit girl continued, "Master Hongyue is resting in the center of the altar and plans to plant roses."

"Understood, you can step back."

When Wu Baishuang finished speaking, a scarlet figure appeared at the exit of the inner barrier——

The protagonist of the topic, Hongyue, happened to come out at this time.
