C597 The Order to Kill and Prepare for the Counterattack

Without much hesitation, Lu Chong rushed back to the Seven Stars Tavern's defense line from the depths of Land of Void Confusion on the same day.

With the magic projection as a reference, he could lock onto the coordinates of the time and space at any time and return in the shortest time possible.

Lu Chong had been fighting and adventuring in Land of Void Confusion for nearly half a year, which made him feel a little tired. He took the opportunity to come back and rest.

Moreover, he had hunted more and more Great Sage Essence Devouring Beast. And, the target he had chosen had become stronger and stronger. So, the probability of Lu Chong finding prey had also become smaller and smaller.

Those Great Sage Essence Devouring Beast had also become very vigilant. So, they had left Lu Chong with even fewer opportunities.

Therefore, he had returned to the alliance just in time to look for a new opportunity.

The current defensive line of Seven Stars Tavern had undergone a huge change.

As Lu Chong's reputation as a newly advanced Great Saint got stronger and stronger, the number of Saints that chose to join the defensive line of Seven Stars Tavern naturally increased.

Up until now, there were no less than a hundred Saints that were at the 7th Sky realm and above. They had come under Lu Chong's command to guard the front line of Seven Stars Tavern.

Lu Chong didn't fight with Nightmare Great Saint for the Saint. Most of the Saint that came here were creatures from the other Star Clubs.

Although Lu Chong's real body was often absent, with his Dharma Idol projection and the assistance of the Seven Stars Tavern, he could still take charge of this place with ease.

As for Lu Chong's Dharma Idol projection, its strength was also rising along with his true self.

Not to mention these Saints, even among all the Dharma Idol projections of the Great Saints in the alliance, it was definitely second to none.

At the same time, Lu Chong also sent out three Dharma Image Projection. One returned to the Virgo Holy Land, one returned to the Huazi Star to guard the Silver Star Realm, and the other returned to the mother planet to guard the Flame Country.

This way, he could be more at ease while fighting outside.

Once there was a change in the Holy Land, the Silver Star Realm, or the mother planet, Lu Chong's Dharma Idol projection would be able to resist a certain danger, and he would be able to return as soon as possible.

The harvest from the past six months not only allowed his cultivation base to accumulate to the peak of Great Saint realm, it also helped Lu Chong condense a total of twenty Dharma Idol projections.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that when these Dharma Idol projections joined hands, ordinary First Era Great Saints would have to temporarily avoid them.

After returning to the defensive line of Seven Stars Tavern, Lu Chong immediately entered the Great Saint virtual space and saw Nightmare Great Saint here.

"Senior, did something happen?" Lu Chong knew that Nightmare Great Saint wouldn't speak without thinking, so he asked directly.

After pondering for a moment, Nightmare Great Saint said in a somewhat solemn manner, "You have recently hunted a lot of Great Sage Essence Devouring Beast. The commotion is too great. It has already attracted the attention of the Church of Light."

"According to the information I have received, the Cult of Light has issued a must-kill order to you. And, the reward is extremely generous."

"It's a high-ranked Ultimate Treasure of Great Saint!" Nightmare Great Saint said with a complicated tone.

Lu Chong did not know whether he should be worried or honored. The price that the Cult of Light offered him was really not low.

A high grade Ultimate Treasure of Great Saint could probably move most of the Great Saints.

Even the Nightmare Great Saint in front of him didn't have a high grade Ultimate Treasure of Great Saint. It was enough to show how precious it was.

"If you continue to stay in Land of Void Confusion, you will surely be targeted by the Radiant Cult. They are already preparing to attack you." Nightmare Great Saint said with certainty.

Lu Chong was still in a state of shock when he heard this. He said, "They have already started to attack me before I broke through to the Great Saint realm."

"It's within my expectation that they will send out the order to kill me. But the Land of Void Confusion is so vast. They might not be able to capture me."

Nightmare Great Saint shook his head slightly and said, "You still don't understand the seriousness of the Absolute Kill Order."

"If it is only the power of the Church of Light on the surface, it may not pose much of a threat to you. After all, the alliance can help you. They will not be able to do it openly."2

"However, the order to kill the Church of Light means that they will use all their power to kill you."

Nightmare Great Saint paused for a moment before continuing, "Even if it is to use an important chess piece in the alliance, they will not hesitate to do so."

"Three thousand years ago, a brilliant Great Saint appeared in the alliance. He died under the order of the Church of Light."

Nightmare Great Saint said, "That time, there was even a Great Saint who had been hiding in the alliance for a long time."

"Up until now, we still don't know how many spies the Radiant Cult has developed in the alliance."

Lu Chong was shocked. That's right. Enemies were not scary. What was scary was that enemies had already infiltrated the interior of the alliance, and even the command center.

"Also, your hunting target is too obvious. If the Church of Light can really control the Essence Devouring Beast, it will be very easy to create a trap to lure you into a hopeless situation."

"No one knows if the so-called high level civilization behind the Church of Light will suddenly make a move." Nightmare Great Saint had some worries in his heart.

Lu Chong nodded slightly and understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Currently, the entire alliance is withdrawing their defensive line, so as to avoid provoking the other party to start the decisive battle ahead of time."

Nightmare Great Saint said again, "We still need time to prepare for the Level 1's counterattack."

Lu Chong somewhat understood. In the past six months, he had been hunting for the Essence Devouring Beast of Great Sage everywhere in Land of Void Confusion. Not only had he alarmed the Cult of Light, but he was also afraid that he would alert the enemy and further stimulate the higher civilizations that might exist.

Therefore, the Temple Alliance urgently called him back for this reason.

Fortunately, Lu Chong had gained a lot in the past six months. So, it wouldn't be a problem for him to delay the rest of the Level 1.

After Lu Chong agreed, he took the initiative to ask, "Senior, it's not the best way to make concessions."

"I want to know how long it will take for them to launch a massive attack. How long will it take for us to prepare for our counterattack?"

Lu Chong knew that it was not only the Church of Light's spies that infiltrated the Temple Alliance, but also the Temple Alliance's people who infiltrated the Temple Alliance.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to see the movements of the Church of Light so clearly.

However, Lu Chong had just broken through to the Great Sage realm and was still inexperienced, so he hadn't come into contact with the core secrets of the alliance.

Even with Nightmare Great Saint's recommendation, he would still be questioned by the other Great Saints.

Nightmare Great Saint didn't hesitate and spoke bluntly, "The investigation of the Temple Alliance will take Level 1 time, but these two questions of yours aren't considered to be too confidential."

"According to the deduction of the past history and the news that came back from that side, the next large-scale attack is likely to happen in the next five to ten years."

"As for our counterattack, we still need an opportunity. At that time, you should be able to participate as an important member."

Nightmare Great Saint said earnestly, "So, the most important thing for you right now is to keep a low profile and not show your face again."

"Understood. Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Lu Chong did not ask any more questions. Otherwise, it would be making things difficult for Nightmare Great Saint, making it seem like he did not know when to advance or retreat.

After leaving virtual space, Lu Chong patrolled and strengthened his defensive line. He did not stay any longer and flew away from the defensive line.
