“There’s another thing that’s worth our attention,” Li Fei Yu said.
“What is it?”
“Several days ago, Zuo Wu You sent a message back to the Spirit Religion to ask for some Masters to assist him, but someone managed to intercept it. As such, we were not aware of the incident until recently. When they reached a town where it would take a person one day to reach the Holy City, they were besieged by Chu An He and some others.”
“Chu An He?” The Saintess squinted her eyes, “If my memory serves me right, he’s under the Earth Order.”
“Yes.”
“No ordinary person could intercept Zuo Wu You’s message that was meant to ask for emergency assistance.”
“I can do that, as can the other Order Lords.”
“Has ‘that’ person finally revealed their true colours?” The Saintess snorted, “That would explain why Yang Kai and Zuo Wu You were forced to announce that the Holy Son would be entering the city the next day. They wanted to protect themselves by making everything public.”
“Indeed.”
“If we look at the outcome, they succeeded. Zuo Wu You isn’t that clever, so it must be Yang Kai’s idea,” the Saintess speculated.
“I heard that he acquired the people’s support and the blessing of the World’s Will while heading to the Holy Temple,” said Li Fei Yu suddenly. As the Fire Order Lord, she had a natural advantage when it came to gathering information. Although she wasn’t there to witness Yang Kai entering the city, her subordinates constantly updated her about what was going on.
“En,” the Saintess nodded, “That’s what I find most inconceivable.”
“Holy Saintess, is he…”
Without answering her question, the Saintess rose from her chair and said, “Big Sister Li, I have to leave the temple.”
Hearing that, Li Fei Yu put on a helpless expression.
The Saintess took her hands, “I’m not going out to have fun. There’s a serious matter I have to attend to.”
“That’s the excuse you use every time,” Li Fei Yu shot her a glare, but she still agreed to it, “You have to come back before the break of dawn.”
“Don’t worry,” the Saintess nodded. Saying so, she fished out something from her Space Ring. It was a mask that was as thin as a cicada’s wings.
Li Fei Yu took the mask and carefully placed it over the Saintess’ face. Her movements were skilful, so it was obviously not her first time doing this.
A moment later, two identical faces exchanged glances. Even the moles on the corners of their mouths were in the exact same spot. It was as though one of them was the other’s reflection in the mirror.
Following that, they traded their clothes.
Li Fei Yu took the Saintess’ white jade sceptre and let out a sigh before having a seat.
Across from her, the Saintess sported the same face as hers and smiled cheekily.
Li Fei Yu then activated the sceptre and dispelled the Grand Array.
After that, the Saintess said, “Holy Saintess, I’ll take my leave.” Her voice sounded just like Li Fei Yu’s too.
Then, she went on to say in her own voice, “Good work, Order Lord Li. Since it’s late now, you’d best get some rest.”
Following that, she turned around and stepped out of the Grand Hall before leaving the Holy Temple.
…..
Dawn City was even lovelier tonight than it was during the daytime. All the people in the restaurants were talking about the Holy Son entering the city that day and the prophecy that the first Saintess had left behind. They all looked joyful, as though they were in the midst of a huge festival.
Yang Kai moved around the city following Wu Kuang’s directions.
As he walked along the crowded streets, he soon arrived somewhere quieter.
Even in a Holy City like Dawn City, there was inequality. The rich lived in luxurious houses in the city centre with servants at their beck-and-call and bottles of wine to drink all day while the poor were forced to live in the periphery of the city.
With that said, it was still the Spirit Religion’s Holy City. Even though there was inequality, the poor wouldn’t be starving or have no clothes to wear. With the Spirit Religion’s help, they were able to put food on the table despite their hardship.
Presently, Yang Kai sported a different face.
He had many artifacts in his Space Ring that he could use to disguise himself. He had collected such items when he was weak in the past. Many people had seen his face in the morning, so if he showed up with his real face, everyone in the city would be aware of his presence.
At that moment, he looked like an innocent young man. It was the kind of face commonly seen in the city.
As he looked around, he realised many low-rise houses were neatly built in the Holy City’s periphery where many people lived.
Some kids were seen having fun.
Someone was praying to a statue in front of his house. The statue was made from wood, and it was roughly 25 centimetres tall; however, the face wasn’t carved.
Yang Kai listened to the person and heard him praying for the Holy Son to save them.
The Holy Son’s statues were in front of many houses, with incense sticks’ traces showing that they were frequently prayed to.
“Are you sure it’s here?” Yang Kai frowned as he whispered to Wu Kuang.
“I think so,” Wu Kuang replied.
“You think so?” Yang Kai arched his brow.
Wu Kuang explained, “My connection with my main body is fuzzy thanks to the Space-Time River, so the guidance I’m feeling isn’t clear. Let’s look around.”
A helpless Yang Kai could only walk around the place.
