At this moment, a black shadow streaked across the sky at an unimaginable speed, like a sharp blade cutting.
The clouds were split into two as it passed.
It was so fast that it cut the space at such a speed, even for humans.
Even the fastest and strongest among them may not be able to achieve it.
But the black shadow suddenly stopped moving without warning.
When he stopped for a moment, it was as if the space had stopped, and then an unimaginably strong air pressure surged from behind, like a giant wave hitting the sea.
The clouds in front were blown away and lost their traces The shadow showed its whereabouts.
It was a young man with a slightly delicate face, but there were fine scales under his cheeks, and a pair of strange wings on his back, which showed that this young man was not a human being.
But the posture of spreading wings and the shining scales on the wings will not make people think of "angels" or "demon" and other human-looking creatures with the ability to fly with wings, but will make people think of them from the inside.
There is a strange feeling that this existence is perfect This young man is Dolanco who suddenly left before.
At this time, his form is between dragon and human form, and his body has returned to the dragon's posture, because the invasion of night itself is Dolanco's dragon scales, and once With dragon scales all over his body, Dolank will transform from human form back to dragon form.
But when it comes to fighting, Dolanco doesn't like the dragon posture very much.
This is not to say that the dragon posture is not suitable for fighting, but because of Lin Long's memory, Dolank is still subconsciously accustomed to fighting in human form.
But now Dolank seems a little strange.
His expression has a kind of sadness that rarely appears on Dolank's face.
"Bang" Dolank stayed in the air for a while, and finally seemed to have made some decision.
He turned around and flew in the direction to the side.
The dragon wings shook, and the air explosion sound appeared only after his figure disappeared.
At this time, just in front of Dolank's advance route, a group of wild geese were flying over there.
Although it is far away from Dolank, with Dolank's speed, it will arrive almost in the blink of an eye, and this group of wild geese will be like the previous clouds, created when Dolank moves without any reaction.
The air blade cuts it in half.
So Dolanque made a detour, bypassing the group of wild geese in front of him, and continued flying towards his destination.
If someone who is familiar with the terrain of the Golden Continent can see Dolank's flight trajectory, he will definitely see that his current destination is the center of the Golden Continent, the capital of the Golden Empire.
At the ancient city barracks, an officer who seemed to have a high status was in his camp, frowning at the report.
"How many days has it been?"
the officer sighed, put the report aside, rubbed his brow, and asked the counselor beside him.
"My lord means" "It's been a few days since the soldier disappeared on patrol, then reappeared, and died of a strange illness within a few days."
The officer leaned back later, as if he wanted to sit more comfortably, but no matter what In this way, he felt strange, but fortunately he stood up.
"It has been three days, and they are all soldiers patrolling the surrounding towns."
The counselor said, "Sir, it seems that there is something strange in these places, and it is not the problem of our soldiers."
"Do you think so too?"
The officer nodded and walked to the gate of the camp with a complicated expression.
"I think so too, and I really want to go out and find out now."
"My lord, do you have anything to hide?"
The counselor looked at the officer.
He had been following the officer for many days and knew him well.
According to his temperament, he should have investigated this matter long ago, but now he has been just worried and has not taken any action.
"I couldn't tell others about this matter, but I really couldn't help it."
The officer turned around, clenched his fists, and looked like he had nowhere to vent his anger, "So I will tell you, you Help me hide it” "Sir, please speak."
The counselor nodded.
"Actually, the superiors gave me an order before.
From the next time until the anniversary festival begins, no matter what happens in the army, I should ignore it.
The only thing I have to do is to keep the security of the ancient city."
The officer said viciously.
Said, "Huh, I didn't know what this order meant at first, but now I know very well, it must be those guys who are causing trouble again."

"Are you talking about the group of people from the Church of Destiny?"
the counselor was stunned and asked.
"Who else besides them can talk nonsense every day and make everyone in the empire nervous?
Such monsters, I really don't know why the empire would reuse them and pay so much attention to them."
The officer walked around in annoyance, and the more he talked, the more he said.
Excitedly, "Although I don't know what those guys are doing, I know very well that these freaks who believe in the so-called gods they call will never do anything good.
If this continues, the empire will definitely have trouble one day. event" "But didn't the military doctor say before that the soldiers were not affected by any external influences, and no poisons or anything like that were found in their bodies?"
the counselor sighed, "General, don't get too excited.
The Church of Destiny is the state religion.
I think The cost of going against them is too high.”
"Oh, I really don't know what your Majesty is thinking."
The officer sighed after hearing what the counselor said, "Your Majesty chose to extend the front line, which made the flames of the mainland war a little weaker.
It was also difficult for the people who experienced the catastrophe at that time.
Not bad.
And His Majesty also took advantage of this opportunity to attack those rats on the Golden Continent who wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the continent.
Which of those things requires the Church of Destiny and the so-called God?"
""The counselor didn't say anything, because it was true as the officer said, after the Destiny Church was established as the state religion, there were actually a lot of complaints in the country.
As we all know, the Golden Continent is the only continent among the five continents that rejects the preaching of the Holy Religion.
It can also be said to be the origin of atheism.
The Golden Empire actually does not believe in the Shinto spread by the Holy Religion.
Although occasionally people would use prayer-like words such as "Thank God" and "God, save me", in reality they were just words.
The Golden Continent was indeed an atheistic continent.
However, the Church of Destiny was established and was made the state religion by the empire.
This made people from the Golden Empire, who had always admired human beings' own strength and ridiculed people on other continents for being extremely weak because of their belief in so-called gods, once confused and denounced them, hoping to get the empire to withdraw this order.
But Destiny Church was still established, and Destiny Church is not like another missionary church as people imagined.
On the contrary, Destiny Church not only does not allow civilians to visit the church, but it also does not promote doctrines This routine of the Church of Destiny made everyone stunned, but the behavior of the Church of Destiny later made some people feel that something was wrong.
The people of the Church of Destiny are very mysterious.
Most officials don't even know who is in this state religion, but there are exceptions.
The people of the Church of Destiny seem to have been carrying out some activities.
They will contact some officials and then carry out their activities.
The official power of these officials varies greatly, and they do not look like they are trying to build relationships and establish a circle.
As far as the contemporary Emperor is concerned, if someone dares to form a party under his nose, he may be shut down the next day.
The mansion.
So there is a rumor in the official circle of the Golden Empire that people from the Church of Destiny seem to be looking for someone among the officials, and once someone from the Church of Destiny comes to you, they will ask you to do something for them, and They will grant you a wish.
Such rumors made the officers sniff their noses.
How could such a thing as wish fulfillment be possible?
If they really had this ability, why would they be vassals of the Golden Empire?
Wouldn't it be better to directly unify the five continents and become emperors of mankind?
However, a very random opportunity cannot be said to be a coincidence.
A good friend of the officer was found by the Church of Destiny, and that friend and the officer had the same philosophy.
I don’t believe what the Church of Destiny says at all, and I refuse to cooperate with the Church of Destiny.
But soon, the friend changed his original intention.
Although he didn’t know why, the friend told the officer that the Church of Destiny had indeed fulfilled his impossible wish.
From then on, the friend became obsessed with his views on the Church of Destiny.
Completely different and gradually losing contact.

Until not long ago, the officer received the news of his friend's death without any warning.
A soldier who, like the officer, was passionate about protecting his family and country, died inexplicably on his bed at home.
The investigation even concluded that the friend died of a normal death.
This way of death is simply a shame for soldiers.
Soldiers in their prime do not die on the battlefield or for the country, but die inexplicably on their beds at home.
The officer doesn't accept this and starts investigating his friend's death.
Moreover, this investigation also made him discover something extremely strange.
Most of the officials who interacted with the Church of Destiny seemed to have said that the Church of Destiny had fulfilled their wishes, and some of these people died for some reasons.
This suddenly gave the officer a chill in his heart.
His intuition told him that the Church of Destiny was by no means an accidental connection in these events.
However, just when he wanted to continue the investigation, the empire suddenly issued an order.
This officer who originally served in the imperial capital was sent to a large city barracks as the commander of the barracks.
Being forced to leave the imperial capital, the officer's investigation could not be carried out, so he had no choice but to give up.
But now, when problems arise among the patrolling soldiers, the first thing that pops up in the officer's mind is the Church of Destiny.
And he had a hunch that if he could figure out the reason for the soldier's mysterious death, he would probably be able to figure it out.
This is the "Church of Destiny" who should be regarded as an uninvited guest to the empire.
Their true face is revealed.
"I still decided to disobey the order and find out."
The officer finally made up his mind, raised his head and said to the counselor, "Although maybe if I guess wrong, the empire will definitely not give me good things to eat, but if I guess right, If so, then as a soldier of the Golden Empire, I have the responsibility to remove the cancer of this empire."
The counselor stood there, looking at the officer's eyes full of faith, and suddenly smiled helplessly: "It seems that I can't stop you with words.
You have already made your decision, haven't you?"
"You still understand me."
The officer nodded, and then ran back to his seat with some excitement, "Then let's make a plan.
I'm going to divide the troops in the barracks into two waves.
One wave will be used as bait to patrol various villages and towns, and The other wave is composed of elite soldiers who are responsible for monitoring the bait, and if something really takes the bait, they can impose sanctions."
The counselor standing aside seemed to be deep in thought and did not speak after listening to what the officer said.
"Well why don't you say anything and give me some better advice?"
"Puch" "Well" the officer suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat and looked at the hand in front of him in disbelief.
Although the hand that suddenly pierced the armor and his heart could not be seen behind, the officer knew very well that this hand had completely penetrated My chest was stabbed to the core.
"Now I'm using the beating of my veins to keep your heart beating and squeezing for the time being.
You won't die now.
If I pull out my hand, even your almost extraordinary fighting qi cultivation level won't be able to save you."
The counselor said.
His tone was very calm, as if he was continuing to discuss things with the officer.
"Why?"
Blood stains continued to appear at the corner of the officer's mouth, but as the counselor said, he could still feel that the pierced heart could still beat normally.
This is simply unbelievable.
Although it is not the time to sigh, the counselor tried his best to use the beating blood vessels in his hands to control the power of the pierced heart.
The officer did not even think about this person who has been with him for so many years.
Brother, he actually has such strength, and he takes action against himself "No reason, the empire ordered."
The counselor's expression was a little strange, as if he was regretting that he had killed the officer, but his hand was slowly withdrawing, "Actually, if you don't choose to continue investigating the Church of Destiny, I won't No matter what you do, you treat me like a brother on weekdays.
To be honest, I am not willing to take action against you. " "Imperial Order" As the counselor's hand gradually moved away, the officer could feel the speed of life draining from his body, and it became difficult to speak.
"For a patriotic person like you, I don't want to tell you these things."
Only the strategist's fingers are still inside the officer's body, and his palms are already outside.
"Well" the officer suddenly reached out and grabbed the counselor's arms.

Now he could no longer speak, but he was a strong man after all.
Although he did not use his fighting spirit in time to stimulate power when he was plotted, his body after the undefeated level was also Able to stay alive under such circumstances only "Chi."
The counselor's hand was completely pulled out.
The bright red blood made that palm so terrifying in the eyes of the officer.
But this thought was also a moment.
The light disappeared from the eyes of the officer whose heart was pierced, and he died completely.
The counselor watched as he fell to the ground.
The blood flowing from his chest dyed the ground red.
However, because the ground was made of soil, the blood quickly seeped into it.
The counselor moved his eyes to the table, picked up a report and used it as a cloth to wipe.
Wiping the blood stains on his hands, he suddenly spoke.
"I am a member of the Imperial Secret Force Action Team.
We are responsible for monitoring all Imperial officials.
We are almost always around all officials."
After wiping his hands, the counselor casually threw the blood-stained and wrinkled report aside.
Then he took out a very strange ball-like thing and said, "Actually, I always use the best evaluation of your report.
You will never become a traitor to the empire.
But" The counselor suddenly threw the ball back, and then his entire figure disappeared into the camp.
"Boom" A strong roar suddenly sounded in the barracks, alarming all the soldiers in the barracks.
Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion, only to see a sea of fire everywhere they looked.
"It's on fire, put it out quickly" "Quick, quick, let everyone put out the fire immediately" "What's going on?
Suddenly something exploded.
Is there anyone inside?"
The barracks suddenly fell into panic, and at this moment, not far from the barracks, the counselor was standing there, quietly looking at the barracks where he had been staying for a while, and said softly: "You have betrayed His Majesty.
Maybe that’s the only way I can do it.”
The sudden fire in the ancient city barracks also alarmed the noble families who governed the ancient city, and they quickly organized manpower to put out the fire.
The fire was quickly brought under control.
But the place where the barracks burned and the surrounding dormitories and other places were turned into charred ruins.
"During the time of the fire, was anyone here?"
After putting out the fire, the administrator of the ancient city soon came to ask the soldiers.
"At this time, it seems that only adults and military advisors are processing official documents.
By the way, there are some sick soldiers in the dormitory."
"The adults are very strong, so there should be no problem, but those who are sick, it seems they can't move freely."
"The fire just happened so suddenly, they may not have reacted.
In this situation, the chance of survival is very low."
The officer in charge also understood what the soldiers said, and then he said: "Look for it quickly, I hope everything is okay."
However, everyone also knows very well that the officers and counselors who are highly skilled in fighting spirit may be okay, but those soldiers who are sick and unable to move in the dormitory should have no hope.
The search activity went very quickly.
After all, there were quite a few soldiers in the barracks, and everyone had some good cultivation skills.
Searching in the ruins was also very efficient.
But the result turned out to be less hopeful for them.
"Report, two mutilated corpses have been found in the commander's tent."
The soldier's voice made the person in charge rush over.
After confirmation, it was confirmed that one of the corpses was indeed that of the general of the barracks, an officer with a high level of cultivation.
And the other body should naturally be the counselor who is always with the officer.

"Something is strange.
How could these two people die in the fire so easily?"
Everyone was puzzled and panicked.
Knowing the general's strength, they did not believe that a sudden fire would cause these two people to die.
The soldiers also mentioned that at that time they heard a huge explosion first, and when they turned around to look, the fire was already huge.
Although everyone was attracted, they were not fools and put out the fire.
At that time, the people standing guard did not withdraw.
They didn't see anyone leaving the scene or anything.
The person in charge of the explosion fell into thinking.
It seemed that this was not an accident.
It was very likely that something happened that he didn't know about.
"But if someone attacks the barracks, what is his purpose?
Don't act rashly until the matter is investigated clearly."
The supervisor temporarily ordered that all the soldiers in the barracks be withdrawn into the city for investigation.
But smart people know very well that the reason why the administrators evacuated the soldiers into the city was also a different kind of surveillance.
The administrators may doubt whether this was an accident in itself, and it may be a planned action, so these soldiers will be in danger and suspicion.
It has to be said that although the manager considered it in detail, he was wrong from the beginning:
