"Yuan Ying·Instant Slash."
This sword skill focuses on speed. Almost instantly, a blood hole appeared in each of the four weak points of the guardian, and blood spurted out.
At this moment, the guardian's body felt as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, hitting the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust in the sky.
At the same time, due to the triggering of the weak point attack, the health bar above the guardian's head suddenly dropped by one-fifth, leaving only a trace of swaying blood skin.
After five magical marks were broken by Lin Yi, all the injuries on the guardian's body exploded violently like detonated bombs.
For a moment, blood poured out, and the guardian seemed to be lying in a huge pool of blood. The situation was horrific and shocking.
"pagan"
The guardian's weak voice drifted in the wind, and his eyes finally fell on a huge statue not far away.
The statue depicts a man entwined with vines, which is the symbol of the Cult of Pain's faith - the Twisted Father.
The Holy See deliberately brought the distorted sculpture of the Holy Father to the Fellowship of Silence, and its intention was very obvious: they wanted the people of the Fellowship of Silence to see with their own eyes the fact that the god they once believed in had now been conquered. This sculpture not only represents the ostentation of the Holy See, but also serves as a stern warning to the silent community.
After seeing the sculpture of the Twisted Holy Father, the health bar above the guardian's head was completely cleared.
At the same time, a notification sound came from Lin Yi's ear.
[Kill the guardian of the Sect of Pain and obtain 6.1% of the source of the world. Now you have obtained a total of 6.1% of the source of the world]
[Get the golden treasure chest]
After Lin Yi killed the guardian, Lin Yi noticed that there seemed to be eyes nearby looking at him.
He looked around and finally discovered that the gaze came from the twisted sculpture of the Holy Father not far away.
At some point, the eyes on the sculpture had quietly opened and were watching Lin Yi quietly.
After noticing Lin Yi's gaze, the sculpture actually showed a weird smile.
"It's a pretentious thing." Lin Yi was not frightened by this sudden change.
It's just a sculpture. He has already killed two incarnations of ancient gods. How can he still be afraid of a mere miracle affected by divine power?
Three jet-black sword energies flashed instantly, and the sculpture of the twisted Holy Father was directly chopped off by Lin Yi.
As the twisted statue of the Holy Father fell, Lin Yi could clearly sense that the nearby environment seemed to have undergone subtle changes.
It's like suddenly going from the biting cold winter to the warm and pleasant spring, the difference in feeling is huge.
"Thanks."
At this moment, Lin Yi found that there was a faint, faint sound of gratitude in his ears.
Following the sound, Lin Yi found many translucent souls appearing in the sky, like light smoke.
Lin Yi also recognized the soul at the front. It was the soul corresponding to the corpse whose power had been wiped out by Lin Yi before.
The souls of these corpses seemed to have been liberated. They had been trapped in the corpses by the Twisted Holy Father and could not move freely.
When Lin Yi shattered the sculpture of the Twisted Holy Father, the seal in this area was finally lifted.
After receiving the power of the Holy Allah, the souls of these true members of the Silent Society will go to the paradise in their minds - the other side of the Great Dream.
[Tip: The hunter has received a gift from the Silence Association, and his willpower has increased by 10 points. 】
Following the path formed by the corpses, Lin Yi kept moving forward and finally came to a castle.
The stone walls are mottled and moss-covered, and the ruthless traces of time have carved deep wrinkles into every stone of the castle.
The towering tower has been weathered to the point of crumbling, like a dying old man holding on to his post in the wind and rain.
The gate of the castle has long lost its former majesty. The rotten wood and broken iron locks silently tell the story of the glory of the past and the desolation of today.
As soon as you step into the castle hall, you can feel a biting cold air coming.
The once magnificent tapestry has become dilapidated, and the colorful patterns have been ruthlessly faded by time.
The stone table in the center of the hall was covered with thick dust, and the benches next to it seemed to be sighing heavily at the past prosperity.
The dim light filtered through the tall window lattice and scattered on the ground, illuminating the moss-covered stone slabs.
The statues of the Holy God on both sides of the corridor have long been mutilated. They have broken arms or missing heads.
As Lin Yi moved forward, the floor beneath his feet made a dull echo as he stepped forward.
Arriving at the edge of the castle, Lin Yi pushed open the heavy wooden door.
Outside the castle, the scene outside the door came into view, and a man was seen being tied tightly with a large number of ropes.
Apparently, this is the secretary mentioned in the main quest.
"Has anyone come here again?"
The clerk raised his head and glanced at Lin Yi, then picked up a quill and wrote on the parchment in his hand.
The secretary's appearance is very unique. He wears an extremely tall green hat on his head, which looks like a towering tree from a distance.
But he wears a very strange mask on his face. This mask is made of rough hemp rope and is very different from the conventional mask design.
Usually, masks leave holes for the eyes so that the wearer can see the outside world, but this mask completely covered the clerk's entire face.
Under the mask, countless ropes tightly bound his body, from his arms to his chest, to his arms and legs.
The existence of these ropes made it impossible for the clerk to walk normally. He could only kneel on his knees and crawl slowly and hard on both knees.
"Another penitent, the suffering of the silent community has now come to an end."
"I am Diogakas, witness and teller of the miracles of suffering, and this is my confession."
"What you seek is the cradle of suffering."
"A huge sacred forbidden door has isolated a distant place in the continent."
"According to the covenant, only by performing three humiliating rituals can one approach the things guarded by the Holy See."
"One of them was held high in the mountains, covered with thick snow and ice."
"The other is in the dark, buried depths of the church, where the Sleeper lies."
"The last place is at the end of the path where the groaners climbed out of the iron spiral, deep underground, deep in the great bell called Hondo."
"This thing can help you."
As he spoke, a thorn appeared in Diogakas' hand.

…
"Don't tell me these nonsense," Lin Yi said coldly, pressing the black and white rose blade in his hand tightly to Diogakas's throat, "Tell me, what are those three marks? Where should I get it?"
After hearing Lin Yi speak, Diogakas's expression under the mask was extremely shocked, as if he had discovered something earth-shattering.
"Aren't you a penitent? Why can you speak? No, you are a fake penitent, but you have the aura of the Holy God in your body, and you also have the blessings of other members of the Silence Association. How could it be possible?"
Lin Yi's identity obviously plunged Diogakas into extreme confusion.
In his understanding, members of the Silent Fellowship all exchanged miracles with the Holy Father by signing contracts.
But Lin Yi's existence obviously broke this conventional rule.
Lin Yi's identity was directly given by Samsara Paradise. There is an essential gap between the two. Unless the Holy Father is crazy, he would not dare to compete with Samsara Paradise for people.
But seeing that Lin Yi had hope of killing the Twisted Holy Father, Holy True Father was also happy to give Lin Yi power.
After all, this is nothing to lose to the Holy Father. If Lin Yi really succeeds, it will be a huge unexpected gain.
"Also, has anyone else been here before?"
Lin Yi noticed that when he first arrived, Diogakas said that another confessor had arrived.
On this continent, "Confessor" is a specific designation for members of the Congregation of Silence.
Diogakas's words meant that other members of the Silence Association had contacted Lin Yi before his arrival.
"Come with me." Diogakas glanced at Lin Yi, then knelt and moved not far away. I don't know if it was the effect of the miracle of suffering. Although Diogakas knelt down on The ground, but the speed of his movement was not slow at all, even slightly faster than Lin Yi walking on two legs.
Lin Yi followed Diogakas and came to an extremely huge warehouse.
The door to the warehouse was not locked, and Diogakas easily pushed it open and led Lin Yi inside.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Lin Yi had a puzzled look on his face.
He looked around and saw that the warehouse was full of hoods.
These hoods are quite similar to the ones worn by Diogakas. Each one is two meters high and are placed densely together.
Lin Yi took a cursory glance and estimated that there were more than a hundred hoods.
"Everyone here is a loser."
Diogakas sighed and slowly moved to a hood that was still stained with blood.
"Of all the people here, he was the one who came closest to success, but unfortunately, the remaining fire of the holy mountain consumed his body. Even the blessings of the Holy God could not withstand the powerful power of the miracle of suffering."
Following Diogakas's fingers, Lin Yi came to the side of the hood.
He felt a trace of flame power on the hood. The power was extremely powerful. Just by getting closer, Lin Yi could feel the rolling heat wave.
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Yi interrupted Diogakas's memory, "Since they have reached the Holy See, they will definitely have those three marks in their hands." The purpose of Lin Yi's trip is very clear, which is to find those three a mark.
Diogakas shook his head, "No more. Those three marks will return to their own territory again after opening the door to the Holy See."
"But they did leave some stuff behind that could be used."
Immediately, three green gems appeared in Diogakas' hand.
【Teleport Gem】
Origin: Ancient Stodia Continent
Quality: Golden
Type: special props
Effect of use: After use, the user will be teleported to the recorded coordinates.
Rating: 399
Introduction: A must-have artifact for lazy people to travel at home, but only if you arrive at the destination first.
Price: 94,000 paradise coins.
…
"The destinations of these three gems are the Land of Withered Olives, the Land of Desecration, and the Great Bell of Endless Twilight."
Lin Yi took the teleportation gem from Diogakas's hand.
"hope."
Before Diogakas finished speaking, Lin Yi's figure had instantly disappeared in front of Diogakas.
"A really anxious guy, I hope he can do it.
Diogakas sighed, hoping he wouldn't be disappointed this time.
After Lin Yi used a teleportation gem, Lin Yi's figure instantly appeared in a snowy mountain.
The snow-capped mountains stand majestically under the sky, like a jade dragon entrenched.
The snow on the top of the mountain roared like an angry giant beast under the raging wind.
The blizzard swept across this silent land mercilessly, and the sky and earth were vast. Wherever you could see, there was only a vast expanse of white, like the beginning of chaos.
The howling wind was like the shrill cry of ghosts, the snow particles were like sharp arrows, and the snowflakes hit his face, causing bursts of stinging pain.
Snowflakes dance wildly in the air, sometimes gathering into groups, sometimes scattered like rain, filling every corner of the world.
At the foot of the mountain, the small village was mercilessly swallowed up by the sudden snowstorm. The snow on the roof became thicker and thicker, and finally it could no longer support it, making a dull collapse sound, as if it was a wail for this ruthless nature.
In front of Lin Yi was a collapsed church. A huge bronze bell was half buried in the snow. A huge corpse was tied to a dead tree beside the church.
This corpse wore two masks, with more than a dozen arrows stuck in its body, and a wooden sign stood next to it.
"Betrayer, Kimino."
Under this wooden sign is the logo of the Temple Army. It seems that the corpse on the dead tree was once a member of the Temple Army, but now it has become such a miserable look for some unknown reason.
Walking along the road, Lin Yi found some dried corpses hanging on ropes from some branches.
Due to the harsh effects of the ice and snow, these corpses did not rot, but instead kept swaying back and forth in the snowstorm.
"Damn blizzard, it's so cold."
Just when Lin Yi was about to move forward, a strong man wearing a bearskin coat suddenly appeared in Lin Yi's eyes.
Lin Yi temporarily concealed his figure and hid behind a tree.
After Lin Yi hid, two strong men wearing animal skin coats were walking hard along the road.
The eyebrows of the two men were already covered with frost due to the snowstorm. They held their arms and their bodies were trembling slightly.
There was a blood-stained long knife hanging on the waist of the two people. Judging from their tattered clothes and the long bows behind their backs, Lin Yi recognized the identity of the two hunters.
For these two hunters, if it weren't for the fear that the Temple Army would kill them, they would not go out to patrol in this damn weather.
"Thor, let's go, let's go back. In this damn weather, the Temple Army masters will definitely not come up. Go back quickly, I'm almost freezing to death."
One of the younger hunters, Dewey, sneezed and quickly urged Thor on the side to leave quickly.
"Well, let's go back."
The hunter known as Thor nodded. Of course he understood the specific situation of the Temple Army.
The Temple Army can be said to be a group of veteran soldiers. In such blizzard weather, even their locals will get lost, let alone those Temple Army soldiers from other places.
Just when Thor was about to leave, he noticed the footprints of Lin Yi standing in front of Kimino just now.
Although half of the footprints have disappeared due to the impact of the blizzard, Thor is the best hunter of this generation. Although the footprints are very light, they were still noticed by the experienced old Thor.
"Who! Come out!"
Thor suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist, and his eyes began to glance around nervously. Dewey on the side also pulled out the long knife in a panic.
Although Dewey didn't know what happened, he knew one thing: Thor must have discovered something abnormal.
"I found something. Could it be those sons of bitches from the Temple Army?"
Dewey's hand holding the long knife was trembling a little. It could be seen that although Dewey hated the Temple Army very much, he had to admit that the Temple Army guys were indeed powerful.
The Temple Army seemed to be unaware of pain, and with the blessing of divine magic, they brutally slaughtered the entire village near the snow-capped mountains.
Dewey and Thor both desperately escaped from the village.
"Come out. Although you hid perfectly, your footprints still exposed your position."
Thor glanced around and finally found half a shallow footprint near a tree where Lin Yi was hiding.
Lin Yi slowly walked out from behind the tree holding the black and white rose.
"Priest robes! Damn the Temple Army, go to hell!"
Dewey's eyes turned red the moment he saw Lin Yi's clothes. He was ready to go up and fight Lin Yi desperately with a long knife, but was stopped by Old Thor.
"What are you doing?"
"Calm down, this guy in front of you is not a group of hypocrites from the Sect of Pain."
Thor grabbed Dewey's wrist tightly, stopping his attack.
"I didn't expect to meet people from the Mourning Society here. It seems that you are here for the Monastery of Our Lady of Mount Gio Rong."
After hearing the words of silence for fellow-comrades, Dewey's expression finally returned to normal.
Lin Yi didn't speak, just nodded silently.
The entire continent knew that the followers of the Silent Mourn Association were taciturn people, and Lin Yi's behavior did not arouse the suspicion of the two of them.
"Come with me, now is not the time to go up the mountain. You can go up the mountain after the snowstorm has passed."
Thor and Dewey put their long knives back into their waists, and then motioned to Lin Yi to follow them.
After walking a very long road, Lin Yi followed the two of them to a cave. This cave was very hidden, with a big stone blocking the door. It would be difficult for Lin Yi to find this place without someone to lead the way.
