I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

At the same time, outside the chapel.

After the four apostles completed the concealment seal on this place, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly, otherwise they would really have been dragged down and killed by An Ji, that madwoman.

Now the whereabouts of the Black Moon Pope are unknown, and there is no near-God level combat power within Black Moon City.

But Moluo Saint Shepherd is no pushover; if he follows this mighty divine light to come, apart from the Light Disciple, the rest of the apostles might end up here.

"Boom——Boom——!"

Though they suppressed the divine light, the towering chapel had already lost its foundation, continually shaking and wobbling, with steel twisting and deforming, in a teeth-grinding creak, collapsing thunderously!!

The air wave from the collapse of the building surged to all sides, and as the dust settled, the area where the majestic chapel towered once stood was now a ruin.

The four apostles sent their spiritual sense to probe into the depths of the ruins, only to see that An Ji Saint Shepherd had completed the resurrection of Heather, then instantly teleported into the safe house.

The barrier preventing probing from the safe house had not collapsed yet, their vision and spiritual senses couldn't penetrate; the internal situation was unknown.

Logically it shouldn't be too serious, after all, inside the house there were only three Spirit Masters of Venerate One Realm, and Cha Naixue was not even a Venerable.

A Spirit Master of the Fourth Realm of Venerable could casually crush these four.

Let alone An Ji Saint Shepherd.

But strangely enough....

The apostles quietly waited for as long as ten seconds, besides the intense spiritual pressure fluctuations, An Ji Saint Shepherd did not emerge.

"Could something have gone wrong?" Ji Ying's voice rasped out hoarsely.

"Tsk~ I think that old hag found some treasure and wants to keep it for herself."

Blood Ghost coldly chuckled, pondering, "After all, there were two Black Moon Saintesses, and the other two people with the Saintess might not be ordinary figures, maybe they're some family's genius, so the treasure they carry won't be few."

"Forget it, let her have it all."

Burning City's authoritative golden eyes looked down, a distant voice coming from the molten lava roar, "The mission this time is to obtain the Sumeru King's Order; as long as the King's Order can be acquired, other interests can be given to her."

Naturally, mainly because the four apostles were now fully maintaining the Concealing Barrier, they couldn't move at all; once they moved and distracted, this barrier concealing the divine light would instantly collapse.

Exposing the abnormality here.

Now they could only watch as An Ji Saint Shepherd eats alone.

"Hey, Holy Shepherd, you can have the rest, but remember to leave Cha Naixue for me," Leng Xiu floated in mid-air, shouting loudly towards the chapel interior.

This time mission, he had two consecutive blunders, first losing 101 Yao Stones which he needed to transport back to the headquarters.

The second time, he inexplicably lost a Divine Faith Fruit.

He didn't gain any benefits, but rather invited a whole mess of trouble.

Luckily, Cha Naixue is the owner of the Nai Luo Spiritual Artifact, catching this Black Moon sow would be enough to compensate for today's losses.

.....

Inside the safe house.

"Are you mocking me?" The grey-robed old man's tone, though bone-chilling, held not a hint of murderous intent, clearly trying to regain sanity, willing to listen to Xia Feng's rhetoric for Heather's sake.

Xia Feng smiled slightly: "You mentioned, only Fire Seed can extend the life of Heroic Spirits, but in truth, doesn't your Spiritual Artifact · Spirit Life Ring also sustain the Heroic Spirits?"

"Oh?" An Ji's shriveled, wrinkled cheeks hid in the shadows, voice hoarse, "Are you implying that your Spiritual Artifact also possesses this capability?"

"No."

"?!"

"Though my artifact does not extend Heroic Spirits' lives, it can optimize yours, enhancing the Spirit Life Ring's ability to prolong life... Holy Shepherd, you understand my meaning." Xia Feng spoke lightly, smiling.

Optimizing the Spiritual Artifact? An Ji Saint Shepherd's old, cloudy eyes imperceptibly shrunk.

Spiritual Artifacts that can strengthen others' effects... she had actually seen several, but the limitations were huge, not only was the usage scope limited, the enhancement range was not ideal.

Not considered a rare Spiritual Artifact ability.

Generally speaking, an enhancement range of 10% is deemed a very good effect.

To extend Heather's life by another thirty days... though better than nothing, any extra day is favorable.

Thinking of this, An Ji's eyes lightly squinted: "If you truly possess a strengthening Spiritual Artifact for Heroic Spirits, I might spare your life. But the other three must die."

Xia Feng shook his head: "Why doesn't the Holy Shepherd first feel the effects of the enhancement before making a decision?"

Seeing him dragging for time as if trying some small maneuvers, An Ji Saint Shepherd didn't mind, nodded slightly.

In the face of absolute power, any Ghost Domain tricks are useless.

Let's first see the specific magnitude of this person's Spiritual Artifact enhancement effect; if it's laughable, not even 1%, then there's no need to spare his life anymore.

While pondering, she thought a moment, the green bracelet on her wrist left her, flying directly towards Xia Feng.

Xia Feng remained calm, raising his hand to grab the bracelet.

His optimization ability, apart from optimizing himself, could always optimize others' Spiritual Artifacts, having previously optimized for Cha Naixue and Mushroom, then rarely used it, giving the two women's Spiritual Artifacts a very significant boost.

The only pity was, like the duplication, he couldn't optimize Alpha-level Spiritual Artifacts.

Otherwise, Miss Mu might beg him.

Moreover, when optimizing others, it couldn't be unlimited like personal optimization.

His Spirit Rank dictated how many optimization positions he had.

Currently, being Sixth Rank Venerable, gave six optimization positions.

In fact, when he copied the Spirit Life Ring earlier, he had already optimized it, knowing the general enhancement magnitude.

Though optimizing himself and others had different effects.

Xia Feng glanced at An Ji Saint Shepherd: "Holy Shepherd, the direction of optimization will depend on your inner desire, so focus more intensely, make your desire more specific and stronger, perhaps the effect will be better."

[Copied version · Spirit Life Ring] was enhanced according to his internal desire, not reaching the time optimization limit.

For the best longevity effect, An Ji Saint Shepherd still needed to strive.

Surprised by Xia Feng's reminder, An Ji was intrigued, it even allowed to determine the enhancement direction? This indeed hadn't been encountered before.

Lights of mild surprise flickered in her eyes, but she quickly reverted to an icy aloofness, focusing as told.

Prepared, she nodded towards Xia Feng.

In the suspension of the green bracelet mid-air, dots of faint golden brilliance appeared from nowhere, rapidly assembling and engulfing the bracelet, merging into the ring, the radiant golden glow flickered by, completing the optimization.

The optimization process appeared unremarkable, but soon, one after another formidable insights surged into An Ji Saint Shepherd's mind.

Her cold, ghastly old visage slowly reflected a change in expression.
