Chapter 66: Great Mystery Technique

The mottled walls were carved with reliefs of Witches and ancient characters. Even before getting close, an ancient, weathered, and mysterious aura rushed toward them. Unknown black vines crawled all over the walls, obscuring the vast majority of the reliefs and characters, making them indistinct. On the heavy wooden doors, two huge eyes were carved, one on the left and one on the right. Deep and gloomy, no matter from which angle one looked, they seemed to be staring at oneself. At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary Temple, but whether it was the black vines or the eyes on the wooden door, everything revealed an indescribable eeriness.

Witch Temple!

Looking at the eerie Witch Temple, the group could not help but stop in their tracks.

The thief Cardiron was timid and suspicious. A gust of cold wind blew past, and he shivered instinctively. “Cold, so cold! They say that the Temples of some races are specifically used to imprison Ghosts formed from the tribe’s warriors after death. Could it be…”

Although he was lying on the sturdy Death Warrior Udely, Cardiron was still terrified, his teeth chattering. Recalling the many legends of the savage Alien Races, he looked around in panic.

“If there really are Ghosts inside, that’s even better! Cardiron, you can’t go on like this. When we return to the Lich Castle, the attendants in your room will need to be changed. Skeleton attendants can no longer meet your requirements. From now on, let a few Yin Souls serve you!” Hu Feng smiled, pondered for a moment, and then took the lead in striding toward the Temple not far away.

The Witch Temple was eerie everywhere, and the obscure energy fluctuations gave off a strong sense of danger. But since they had come here, it was impossible to give up halfway. Even if it was a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, they had to venture in!

Yin Soul attendants?

Thinking of the pale-faced Yin Souls floating around all day, Cardiron felt his scalp tingle. With a few Skeleton Guardians standing outside the door, he already couldn’t sleep. If they were replaced by a few floating Yin Souls, let alone sleeping, he wouldn’t be able to sit still even in broad daylight. Could one still live like that?

The light inside the Temple was dim. Every few meters, a long banner hung. The colors were mottled, and some of the Runes on them were already blurred; no one knew how many years they had been hanging there. A gloomy wind blew past, causing the banners to flutter left and right, making the already terrified thief feel even more creeped out.

Great Spirit Gathering Technique?

Hu Feng looked solemn. The Runes on the banners were blurred, but they vaguely resembled the Runes of the Great Spirit Gathering Technique. It was nothing outside the Temple, but the moment he stepped inside, he sensed a strange Soul Fluctuation. From the Void, strands of pure soul power actually drifted over. The mottled banners seemed to connect directly to the legendary Soul Ocean!

“Thirteen thousand seven hundred years. I didn’t expect that over a hundred thousand years would pass in the blink of an eye. I have waited inside the Temple for so many years, and finally, this day has come!” The ancient voice rang out again, carrying an indescribable weathered feeling.

Following the direction of the voice, the group pushed aside the banners and walked over. At the deep end of the Temple, they saw a person, a young and beautiful woman!

Holding a pitch-black Magic Staff and wearing a black robe, beneath eyebrows curved like the crescent moon was a pool of clear water; her eyes were clear and bright. If not for the pair of wings growing from her back, she would look no different from a beautiful girl next door.

“You, are the Witch Elder?” Hu Feng stopped cautiously.

Based on the memory of the Harpy Witch, he knew that the Elder of the Witch tribe lived in seclusion inside the Temple to cultivate, but he did not know what she actually looked like. The ancient and sacred Temple was not a place ordinary Harpy Witches could enter.

“That is correct. I am the only Witch Elder here, Aguila Bruce.” The Witch Elder smiled. Her aged voice formed a sharp contrast with her girlish face, which was indescribably eerie. “A Lich, what a surprise. I had a premonition that a supreme holy Stronger would come here; I didn’t expect it to be not a powerful Angel, but an evil Lich. Young man, are you carrying some holy treasure, or… do you possess an Angel War Pet?”

The Witch Elder carried herself with composure, making no mention of the fierce battle the group had just had with the numerous Harpy Witches. As she spoke, she looked thoughtfully at the Demon Hunter Card on Hu Feng’s wrist.

Premonition?

Hu Feng’s heart trembled. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and summoned the Holy Angel Taliana. “This is not a War Pet, but my Follower, Holy Angel Taliana. Elder Aguila, I didn’t expect your Great Divination Technique cultivation to have reached this step; you are even more powerful than the Saintess of the Divine Court!”

The Witch Elder looked like just an ordinary Magician, with no massive Magic Power fluctuations within her body, and her physique was far less powerful than that of the many Witch Commanders. But the more he looked, the eerier she seemed, as if a powerful force was sealed within her body, mysterious and unfathomable. To be safe, Hu Feng simply summoned the Holy Angel, the strongest among them.

“This is not the Great Divination Technique, but our Witch tribe’s Innate Divine Ability, the Great Mystery Technique!” The confident Witch Elder smiled mysteriously. Looking at the powerful Holy Angel Taliana, her eyes lit up, and she straightened her posture without leaving a trace. “I see. A Sixteenth Step Holy Angel. No wonder the holy aura is so immense. Young man, I was indeed right. I have finally waited for this day. Over the past hundred thousand years, who knows how many Strongers have been blocked by the Underground Passage, but only you have managed to reach this Temple. You have enough strength to cooperate with us. Please, sit down. Tell me, what are your demands?”

The Witch Elder made no visible movement, but before she finished speaking, a high-backed chair appeared in front of Hu Feng. Silent and soundless, with no energy fluctuations, it seemed to have popped out of the Void, or perhaps condensed directly from the free Magic Power in the air. Stanley, the Tree Demon who had been on high alert, changed his expression. Although he had broken through to the Fourteenth Step, he knew he was far from possessing such ability.

The mysterious Witch Elder seemed far more powerful than imagined!

“Easy to say. Our demand is very simple: non-aggression with your Witch tribe, and the freedom to come and go!” Hu Feng paused, advancing by retreating, and then asked in return, “Elder Aguila, I wonder, what are your demands? Resources are scarce on the surface; Crystals and Mercury are rare, though there are plenty of bones. If your tribe has any needs, just ask!”

“Young man, there are many things that can be hidden from a person’s eyes, but not from their spiritual intuition.” The Witch Elder smiled and took out the blood-patterned Crystal that could command all Harpy Witches, speaking indifferently, “I know the purpose of your trip. I can order the guards to make way for you; I can lend you this Witch Token for three months and send a hundred thousand powerful Witches to join your team to help you seize Blackwater City, which has been abandoned underground for tens of thousands of years; I can even personally help you heal the severe injuries on this Angel. And you, only need to go to the distant Witch Mountain Range and retrieve a treasure for me.”

Blackwater City?

Was this the power of the so-called Great Mystery Technique?

Hu Feng’s heart shook, and he looked at the Witch Elder nearby in surprise. He didn’t expect that the other party knew their purpose clearly; before her deep and clear eyes, it seemed there were no secrets at all!

Great Mystery Technique!

The Witch Elder sitting at the end of the Temple revealed indescribable eeriness everywhere, carrying an unprecedented mystery. Her words were concise, but every sentence was shocking! Sending out an army of one hundred thousand, seizing Blackwater City, healing the severe injuries of Holy Angel Taliana—every condition was not simple, and every condition made one’s heart race!
