ying that, he flung open the treasure chest.After seeing the thing, Wang Bing's expression froze.Seeing Wang Bing like this, Lu Kong's expression was a little strange.This guy, he's not really going t...Upon hearing this, Lord of the Fiery Sun City let out a breath of relief.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"

Saying that, he handed the communication crystal to Lu Kong: "This is for you. You can use this communication crystal to find their location!"

Lu Kong nodded, took the communication crystal, and without lingering any longer, bid farewell to Lord Citymaster of Lieyang, then left the city lord's office.

After mounting his beloved silver flame dragon, Yan Mo, Lu Kong once again left Star River City.

This time, Lu Kong's goal is very clear.

Through the communication crystal, Lu Kong easily discovered that the Pale Church people were in the southeast direction.

And it is quite a distance to Xinghe City.

Lu Kong glanced in that direction. That area was a considerable distance from the Bloodfang werewolf tribe. It seemed they had left long ago.

But since the lights are still moving, it means they haven't reached the Pale Order's stronghold.

He transformed into a shadow, chasing after the light spot at an incredibly fast speed in mid-air.

The speed of the land and air is much faster than the speed of a light spot moving.

In just under an hour, the light point he represented was very close to the light points represented by the pale sect's disciples.

Lu Kong, seeing this, also slowed down.

He thought for a moment, then descended directly from the sky. It would be too conspicuous to ride the Silver Flame Dragon Nightmare in the air and risk being discovered.

Below lay a dense jungle. As soon as they landed, several gigantic, black-furred, demonized beasts roared and charged towards them.

These demonized beasts weren't very high-level, only around level 30 or 70. Their templates were only elites; Lu Kong effortlessly killed all the demonized beasts with two swords, one for land and one for air.

Then he vanished into a shadow, disappearing from the spot and chasing towards the direction of the Pale Church followers.

In a short while, Lu Kong jumped onto a giant tree branch, looking forward to a group of beings faintly visible in the distance.

Some of these creatures wore black robes and emanated an aura of death. Others were tall and grotesquely deformed, resembling carrion demons.

In their grasp, they held several guards from Star City.

With only over fifty guards, Lu Kong couldn't help but frown.

The City Lord of Lieyang once said that there were over a hundred guards in Xinghe City to deal with the Bloodfang Werewolf Tribe, but here there are only half!

It seems the other Star River City guards have probably met with misfortune.

Lu Kong hesitated and didn't attack directly. He planned to follow the White Fang Cult disciples and a few Decayed Claws to find the White Fang Cult stronghold.

Moreover, there are several Corrupted Claw Demons here. If possible, Lu Kong even wants to follow them to the Corrupted Claw Demon's lair.

After all, Lu Kong had been squatting outside the Ferocious Claw Demon's lair for a long time before, but he didn't find the entrance.

Given the opportunity, he would certainly not want to miss it.

After that, Lu Kong quietly followed behind them at a distance to avoid being discovered.

And the monsters they encountered along the way were basically all killed by them, neither the ground nor the sky had to make a move.

These Pale Congregation members and Corrupted Claw demons are moving very fast, heading northeast. They'll likely be there in about a day.

Lu Kong saw the vast mountain range barrier outside the twisted jungle.

Upon seeing this mountain barrier, Lu Kong revealed a look of sudden understanding.

So it seems these Pale Order outposts should be near the Twisted Grove, then

It makes sense, the Corrupted Claw's lair is in the Twisted Jungle. It's more convenient for the two forces to cooperate if their bases are closer together.

After nearly half a day had passed, they arrived at the mountainous region.

Members of the Pale Order, and others, twisted and turned between mountains until they came to a very hidden cave.

To Lu Kong's surprise, there was no aura of death emanating from this cave!

This is completely different from the several Pale Covenant outposts Lu Kong encountered before.

Generally speaking, when searching for Pale Order strongholds, the presence of death energy is a rather important clue.

But there's nothing around here.

It seems the Pale Order outposts near Starfall City are harder to find than those in the area of Greatsword City.

Looking at these pale members of the Sacred Order and the Corrupted Claw demons entering the cave with the Star River City guards, Lu Kong hesitated for a moment before taking out a scroll.

Shadow Walk (Sacred Grade): Upon use, it allows you to enter the Shadow Walk state, where your body, aura, and movements become nearly undetectable. This effect lasts for 12 hours.

Use condition: Point Agile

This is a scroll dropped by an assassin-type monster that Lu Kong had killed before. It's an advanced invisibility scroll.

Lu Kong discovered that the monsters ahead weren't much of a threat. A holy-grade invisibility scroll was enough for him to use.

After using the scroll, Lu Kong was enveloped in a cloud of black mist.

The next moment, the black mist twisted and gradually disappeared.

Lu Kong discovered that his vision had changed. Looking at the outside environment, it was no longer colorful but black and white.

At least the sound is still audible.

Lu Kong knew he was now in stealth mode and directly followed into the cave.

The cave was filled with dark, twisting paths.

Ahead, faint footsteps could still be heard. They belonged to the Pale Congregation's disciples and the corrupted claws demons, along with a few low, pained groans.

This should be the screams of the Xinghe City guards.

Lu Kong walking in the shadows won't make a sound; he can get a little closer.

Thus, Lu Kong quickened his pace and soon saw the back of the Corrupted Claw Demon at the end of the passage.

The distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters. Neither the Pale Cult members nor the Corrupted Claws noticed Lu Kong behind them.

Land and Sky, seeing this, walked a little closer again, coming to a distance of only about ten meters from them.

He even saw the faces of the Pale Order disciples and the Rotclaw demons, as well as the wounds and twisted faces of the Starfall City guards.

Even so, no one and the devil still found him.

Just in case, Lu Kong didn't continue to press and followed them deep into the passage.

Deep within this passage, there are clear signs of mining. After walking for over ten kilometers, Lu and Kong sensed the breath of death.

That's when it dawned on me, the Pale Church stronghold was so far from the entrance!

Hidden very well.

After a while, the passage ahead opened up suddenly. Lu Kong found himself in a huge cave.

In the cave, there are acolytes of the Pale Order and undead creatures working to open up space. There are also some distinctive pyramid structures of the Pale Order scattered within it.

The land and air swept across the entire cave, revealing that the cave's surface area was enormous, even comparable to a small city.

It's much larger than the previous Bloodfang werewolf pack!

Around these caves, the Pale Church disciples and undead are constantly carving tunnels in other directions, no one knows where these tunnels lead.

It's possible that the entrance he came from is also a way out to the outside world.

This pale congregation's outpost has an estimated seven or eight entrances and exits, which is outrageous.

Just as they entered the cave, a powerful aura quickly surged from afar.

The next moment, a wisp of gray-white mist suddenly appeared before them. Then the mist condensed and transformed into an old man with an ominous expression and white hair.

The old man's aura was very powerful, even Lu Kong raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's not inferior to the previous Pale Blade, maybe even stronger

Just as Lu Kong was deep in thought, a system announcement sounded in his ears.

"Ding, you discovered the Pale Congregation's Third Hunter Division. Mission complete."

Huh

The task of discovering the Pale Covenant outpost is complete.

It seems like this is the place.

The next moment, one of the corrupted claw demons spoke, “Bishop Harvey, our task is complete, and you should fulfill your promise.”stones, maybe we could even clear the lord-level difficulty! It wouldn't be as good as what Lu Kong can do, but it'd still be pretty decent."Liu Yuexin smiled and nodded: "Well! We have to work hard."...
