Cold Mountain Town wasn't that far from Treading Horse Town. The horse carriage arrived after forty minutes. According to Ji Feng's intentions, the two of them should have immediately changed into another carriage and left Cold Mountain Town. But she insisted on going to the church in Cold Mountain. The monsoon could not dissuade her, so she followed her to the church. Of course, Ji Feng could leave as well, but he had to rely on Melinda in order to find Archbishop Jansett as soon as possible and have him cast a healing spell to break the curse.

Despite the increasing effects of the curse, Ji Feng could only grit his teeth and persevere. In order to divert his attention, he decided to say something. "Why did that Andrea want to deal with you?"

"Not only is she a princess of the Xin Ba Empire, she is also the Holy Maiden of the Cult of Shadows. We are born to be enemies."

Remembering the details from his memories, Monsoon asked, "Didn't the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows sign a peace agreement?"

The peace agreement was over a hundred years ago, and by then the fighting between the two sides had reached a fever pitch, seriously affecting the strength of the human race. So much so that other races took the opportunity to attack the human country, and the agreement was signed under that premise. It had already been more than a hundred years, and the times had already passed. In addition, humans were reproducing at the fastest speed among all races, and even some of the beastmen race's races were hard to catch a glimpse of. Their numbers had already left the other races far in the dust. Thus, the conflict between the two churches began once again.

"So you're doing the same thing?"

Melaleuca nodded noncommittally.

Cold Mountain Town's church was much more luxurious than Treadmill Town's church. The church here looked like a regular church in a big city. In front was a main building built of granite. There was a courtyard with a row of bungalows in the back. Compared to the churches in the big cities, the conditions were much better. And the church door was open.

Upon entering, there were two rows of wooden benches, the front of which was a square table similar to a podium. The square table was for preaching.

It was afternoon, and the church was deserted except for an old man wearing a priest robe who was sweeping the floor.

"May I ask if the master is here?"

The old man immediately stopped what he was doing and said, "The main task is at the back."

Melinda immediately walked towards the back of the church. Since it involved the affairs of the Holy Church, Ji Feng did not follow her. Instead, he found a random bench and sat down.

Ten minutes later, she returned, accompanied by a fat middle-aged priest. Ji Feng knew that this person must be the person in charge of this church.

As she neared the monsoon, she said, "Let's go, Bonan."

Outside the door, Ji Feng saw a seemingly strong horse carriage stop in front of the church. A strong and robust driver was standing in front of the carriage. Melinda walked straight towards the carriage. When she reached it, she did not get on, but turned around and looked at the monsoon. Ji Feng immediately knew that she had something to say to the head of the church, so he got on the carriage first.

From the outside, the carriage didn't look like much. The interior was fairly well decorated, and the seats opposite to it were covered in a layer of leather. The four corners of the carriage were inlaid with an exquisite magic lamp. The magic lamp emitted a gentle white light. Although it wasn't very bright, its visibility was still pretty good.

The monsoon had been waiting for less than two minutes when the door of the car opened. The coachman closed the door, turned around, and jumped onto the driver's seat. Accompanied by a crisp whip, the carriage began to move slowly, then it accelerated continuously.

When the car had steadied itself, she said, "Let me treat you again."

Without waiting for Ji Feng to speak, Melinda started to chant. White light from her martial arts entered into Ji Feng's body, and the effect of the curse on him was greatly reduced. His body also felt relaxed.

"Thank you."

Melinda only nodded, but said nothing. Five healing light beams in a row was a huge burden on Melinda, and she had used up almost all of her spiritual power. As a result, a strong sense of fatigue emerged from between her brows.

Therefore, without another word, Ji Feng sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Nameless Art. The moment he entered the state of cultivation, he felt a strange change in his body.

The change came from his body. He discovered that there was a large amount of energy in his flesh and blood entering his meridians. It circulated with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth through his meridians and became a part of his true qi. The rate at which his zhen qi was increasing was increasing, and the continuous circulation of his zhen qi could, to a certain extent, ease the pain brought by the curse.

The wind knows what is happening, and the energy in the flesh is the combat power of Kate and Gabe in the dungeon. Earlier on, for some reason, their battle qi had managed to open up all of his meridians and acupoints, then it had fused into his flesh and blood. What Ji Feng did not expect was that the curse could actually allow the warrior power that had merged with his flesh and blood to return to his meridians, and eventually turn it into true qi.

Due to the increase in his Zhen Qi, Ji Feng felt that his body was much better. However, he was not optimistic because of this. Although there was a lot of Dou Qi, there was a limit. Once all of the Dou Qi in his flesh and blood had been converted into true qi, he would also face a situation where his weakness gradually increased.

When Ji Feng was training, Melinda had already consumed too much of her spiritual energy and entered a meditative state.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Feng ended his training. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Melinda was meditating on the opposite side of him. After staring at Melinda for a while, Ji Feng wanted to see what was going on outside, so he opened the curtain of cloth covering the window. It was already dark and the sky was full of stars, so he subconsciously put down the curtain and leaned against the seat.

Suddenly, he thought of something and pulled open the curtain to discover that the carriage was not on the main road, but in a place overgrown with weeds. Not only was the surrounding area silent, it was also incomparably desolate.

Realizing that something was not right, the monsoon lightly patted Melinda, and she immediately ended her meditation, looking at the monsoon with a face full of questions. However, he saw Ji Feng holding the curtain with one hand and pointing out the window with the other hand, indicating that she should take a look.

Looking in the direction of the finger, Melinda was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed drastically. Seeing the look on her face, Ji Feng knew that his guess was the truth. The bit of luck from before vanished into thin air.
