“Old Man, what the Hell are you doing?”

Shidon stared at the old bishop, dissatisfied. Obviously, he was very upset.

“What the f**k do you mean bu sending a charming young lady? We are not going on a picnic!”

“F**k!? I beg your pardon!”

The old bishop rolled his eyes helplessly upon hearing Shidon grumbling that he had learned from Fang Zheng.

“I only have one intention! Don’t forget about the space ban there. Let’s say you find the knights, but how are you planning on coming back without this lady’s assistance? If not for the star path, are you planning on running all the way back from Shadow Canyon?”

“Well, if that’s the case, then I have no objection.”

Shidon found himself with nothing left to say after hearing the old bishop’s reply. He knew that he could not break out from Shadow Canyon. Moreover, it was also impossible to leave Shadow Canyon using ordinary methods under the space ban. Therefore, if they wanted to return home safely, then it seemed necessary to bring this young lady with them.

So, Shidon shut his mouth wisely and led Fang Zheng into the teleportation array with the girl following after them. Maybe because Shidon’s ugly mug looked a little scary or because she had seen Fang Zheng once, the girl stuck closer to Fang Zheng, watching Shidon vigilantly.

“Okay, Kiddo, I’ll the rest to you.”

Obviously, Shidon didn’t care about this little matter. He took a long, deep breath before a serious look took over his face.

“I’ll see where you will take us.”

“Alright…I got it…”

The girl gave a meek reply before closing her eyes. Very soon, Fang Zheng noticed blue light spots appearing around the girl, one after another, connected to each other in a line. It was as if the constellations in the sky had surrounded the trio.

“This is the star path!?”

Fang Zheng gazed at the flashing astrological chart with rapt interest. He felt like he watching a high-tech 3D projection from his previous life. He knew a little bit about the star path. Simply put, the star paths were more of a natural phenomenon on this continent, just like tides. As for how the coordinates and distance were calculated and traversed, Fang Zheng really had no idea. The only thing he knew was that it was like overlapping oneself with the constellation projection and then space was folded for transmission… The principle should have been similar to a wormhole!

And because the star path was a natural phenomenon, it was not restricted by the space blocking spells. But conversely, the summoning of star bath had a strict requirement for talent and computation. So, only a few people could use it. It was quite evident that there was more to this meek little girl than met the eye.

“I found it…”

At this moment, the girl suddenly spoke before closing her eyes, a slight frown on her brow.

“A life star… is about to disappear… locking coordinates… now!”

Just as the girl’s voice fell, Fang Zheng saw a big hole appear just above him and Shidon as if space was suddenly ripped open. And before he could even react, a strong suction force pulled Fang Zheng and Shidon into it.

It was a very strange experience.

After entering the space hole, the first thing Fang Zheng saw was endless stars and the vast universe that stretched as far as one could see. At first, he felt as if he was floating in the universe.

But very soon, he felt as if he was sitting on an invisible slide, sliding down in a certain direction at an astonishing speed. He was sliding faster and faster; the scenery in front of him began to change rapidly. Before his eyes, the dotting stars turned into streaks of light as they became more and more distant before merging into a sheet of pure white finally…

BANG!

The next moment, Fang Zheng felt as if he had finally reached the end of the slide and was thrown out, crashing on the ground on his ass.

HISS…!

It was painful to fall on one’s ass but Fang Zheng didn’t have the time to worry about it because the moment he fell, he heard a low whistling of wind by his ear. Immediately after, the sound of a weapon swishing through the air appeared right behind Fang Zheng!

“Damn!”

At this moment, Fang Zheng’s experience in the Free World finally came into play; he immediately rolled on the ground almost instinctively, dodging the other party’s attack. Next, Fang Zheng reached out and drew the Skybreaker from his waist, and only then did he look ahead.

But what Fang Zheng saw before his eyes shocked the hell out of him.

Fang Zheng was surprised to see a dozen or so armed skeleton soldiers in worn armor. Their eyes were glowing red and they were lined up in a semicircle around Fang Zheng. And not far away from Fang Zheng was a knight lying on the ground, staring at the young man, who had appeared out of nowhere, in surprise.

Who is he?

It was no wonder that the knight had this question. Just now, he was planning on fighting these undead to death. But he didn’t expect that just when he was ready to fight to the death, a young man would suddenly appear before him with a flash of light.

And because Fang Zheng was just a squire knight and not a full-time member of the church, he was still wearing the same noble’s attire that he was in when he came the Starlight City, instead of wearing the church’s standard armor like Shidon. Because of this, this knight didn’t recognize Fang Zheng. But in any case, Fang Zheng didn’t seem to be his enemy. But when the knight saw Fang Zheng draw his weapon to launch a counterattack against the undead, he could not help but warn Fang Zheng.

“Be careful, these undead…”

However, Fang Zheng was already in action before the knight could finish his sentence.

A holy glow broke out from the Skybreaker in the blink of an eye. Fang Zheng, looking at the undead before him, took a step forward and swept with his sword. An arc of dazzling, golden sword energy hit the undead before a series of golden crosses erupted, sending them flying in the blink of an eye.

Crusader Strike!

Having launched a successful attack, Fang Zheng, of course, would not miss such a good opportunity. He waved his sword once again and pointed forward as three red giant swords broke out from the ground, scattering all the skeleton archers in the rear completely. A faint holy glow emerged from Fang Zheng’s body as he tightened his grip on the sword and rushed into the ranks of the undead like a wild tiger. 

BANG!

The leading undead soldier was beheaded by Fang Zheng before it could even raise its weapon. Fang Zheng raised his sword high. At this moment, the streaks of dazzling glow seemed to be gathering around Fang Zheng before transforming into dozens of dazzling blades of light.

Immediately after, these light swords hovered flat in the air, aiming at the enemies converging on him. Next, these swords swished through the air and tore through the undead’s bodies and souls like a meat grinder.

Divine Storm!

At this moment, the hapless and injured knight was dumbstruck. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen someone so powerful, rather Fang Zheng’s display of cool and powerful sword art filled with lights and shadows had really shocked him. But fortunately, the knight didn’t feel any undead or evil aura from the holy glow displayed by Fang Zheng, which also put him at ease a bit… It seems that the other party isn’t associated with these undead.

Be that as may, the knight could not help but draw a long and cold breath, looking at Fang Zheng’s young and handsome face. He wasn’t that taken aback before he had seen Fang Zheng’s face. But now that he had seen it, he was extremely shocked. He had seen many powerful experts as a knight under the Bishop Conference. But most of these individuals were relatively older. The youngest was in middle-age. But the young man in front of him… He hasn’t even crossed 20!?

Who is he exactly?

Is he a descendant of a hidden aristocratic family? 

What is he doing here?

As the knight tried guessing the identity of the other party with a solemn look on his face, he saw the young noble put away his weapon and walked up to him before extending out his hand.

“You are the knight from the Holy Church, right? It seems I wasn’t too late…”

“…Huh!?”

The knight, after freezing for a moment upon hearing this, raised his head, and looked at Fang Zheng.

What’s going on?
