Chapter 825 - 413: Arrival at Calamity City
Temple Headquarters was naturally shocked when they learned that Long Dangdang, the champion of the Great Impartation Contest, had gone missing. Upon receiving the speculation from Ling Menglu and her team that Long Dangdang had likely headed to the Wraith Kingdom, they immediately notified the officials at Blessed Sun military camp to stop him if they encountered Long Dangdang. However, transmitting the message took time, and by the time it was delivered, Long Dangdang had already left and had certainly entered the Wraith Kingdom.
This news greatly disheartened everyone; clearly, Long Dangdang had been well-prepared, even considering all possibilities in his calculations.
With no other choice, the group could only apply to go to the Blessed Sun military camp to rescue Long Dangdang. They also rallied Cowardly Knight Na Ye, Reckless Knight Hai Jifeng, and Zi Tianwu, the Listener of the Winds.
But what left everyone speechless was that the Temple Headquarters did not agree to their departure immediately but instead asked them to wait for further news. After all, aside from Ming Xi, everyone in their team was among the top contenders of the Great Impartation Contest! Each one of them was a potential future Sacred Legate. What would happen if they all met with disaster?
But Ling Menglu and her team couldn’t wait! Long Dangdang, having ventured deep into the Wraith Kingdom alone, faced unimaginable dangers. Without backup or companions, he could only rely on himself.
Ling Menglu immediately started mobilizing within the Priests Temple, trying to persuade her grandfather, while the others also reached out to their own high-ranking officials.
After three days of persuasion, they were finally allowed to go to the Blessed Sun military camp to wait for news, with strict orders not to enter the Wraith Kingdom without direct commands.
Without Long Dangdang, Little Eight’s support was unavailable, so they had to rely on Tao Linlin to summon a flying magical beast to bring everyone there. Since the summoned beast could only be available for limited periods and needed re-summoning regularly, and wasn’t very fast, they only arrived today.
Undoubtedly, Long Dangdang had already ventured deep into the Wraith Kingdom. The only certainty they had was that since Long Kongkong shared a bloodline connection with Long Dangdang, they could at least be sure that so far, Long Dangdang was safe. But that was all.
Reckless Knight Hai Jifeng, Zi Tianwu, and Na Ye had actually arrived at the Blessed Sun military camp earlier than them, but not to aid in rescuing Long Dangdang. Their purpose was to keep an eye on them and prevent them from leaving the group. Without the capability for long-distance teleportation, breaking out of the Blessed Sun military camp was absolutely impossible.
Moreover, a large army was currently assembling at the Blessed Sun military camp, ready to launch a head-on attack on the Wraith Kingdom.
