Ely checked the sealed red demon’s status screen, but a question rose to her mind.

She didn’t receive any noteworthy missions related to this red demon, just an ordinary one with unattractive rewards. However, Yuuki and the involved ones said he possessed a God-tier artifact.

She never expected Lost Prayer Grimoire would have such a low evaluation of this red demon.

’Compared to the rising young heroes, you are so mediocre, huh... That’s why I didn’t get any noteworthy missions related to you. Well, Bai Yuchen and Chen Fan were the same. But why is the Heavenly Demonic Inheritor at the top of the list now?’ Ely asked in wonder as she couldn’t help thinking this threat was more terrifying and troublesome than she could imagine.

That was why she asked for help from Blood Moon Pavilion and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to hunt down this villain.

Yuuki had just informed her the Heavenly Demon Inheritor had carried out massive massacres and wreaked havoc in the southeastern coastal region.

Everything happened in the last few hours. Information was easy to acquire as that region was already in utter chaos.

"Saintess Miko. This is..." Bai Yuchen pointed at the white-blue crystal in Saintess Miko’s hands. He could see a red-black something sealed inside, but that crystal was covered by many sealing talismans.

"We shall bring justice when the threat becomes too dangerous for the mortals to handle by themselves. That crystal sealed the red demon who terrorized the northern region of the Human Realm a few days ago. We captured him, and he will be punished in purgatory." Evelyn came over, already in her battlesuit, ready for battle.

"Oh, wow~" Bai Yuchen glanced at the other beauties. He felt like he was in a paradise wonderland where he could easily meet so many top-tier and peerless beauties in the same place.

Everyone revolved around Saintess Miko. It would be fair to say that Saintess Miko collected many peerless beauties under her banner.

But she also had dozens of male disciples. Therefore, Saintess Miko recruited so many peerless beauties and handsome gentlemen under her banner, including him!

He was talented, handsome, and also fabulous. Bai Yuchen felt proud of the conclusion in his mind.

"Saintess Miko. Everyone is ready to depart." Kirara approached and reported politely.

"Hey..." Gabriella caught up with Kirara. Her master’s leading assistant was her. Her duty was to report anything to her master, but Kirara snatched her task this time.

"Heavenly Demon Inheritor has awakened and is spreading chaos. The mortals out there can’t even handle the mediocre red demon, let alone this one. Let’s depart now and join in the fun!" Sylvia flew down as she had already finished with her own preparation.

"Alright. We’re leaving now." Ely replied with a subtle nod.

Before leaving, she paid her respect and prayed before her Goddess Master’s statue. Her friends and disciples also did the same.

After that, everyone went to an empty space outside the shrine abode and left using teleportation. Their destination was a special territory in the south, close to the continent’s southernmost land.

The Scarlet Domain Secret Realm’s entrance was just a few kilometers away, but not everyone would go there.

Ely would only take a few people to pick up reinforcements.

"I will lead everyone with Sylvi, Gab, and the others to find the exact demoness hiding. Eve, Kirara, you accompany our saintess for this formal meeting." Yuuki divided the team.

"OK." Evelyn was pleased with the arrangement.

"I will try my best." Kirara nodded in agreement.

"You need to be careful. Don’t corner the Heavenly Demon Inheritor into a dead end as soon as you find her. Test the water first. Wait for me to arrive, okay?" Ely reminded everyone.

Although, her main goal was because she had to deal the finishing blow for the mission’s reward.

"Okay! We will try only to suppress that demoness, not corner her into the dead end until you arrive." Sylvia raised her hand in farewell before flying away.

"You, devil. Don’t take enemies lightly. The one thing we’re talking about is a newly awakened Heavenly Demon." Yuuki sighed and flew after Sylvia.

The disciples then bid their farewell and asked for blessings from their master. They would go to the forefront outpost to monitor their target. Even though they knew the target’s rough location, the exact whereabouts of the target’s hideout were still unknown.

Nevertheless, the Guardian of Dream’s primary mission was here. They would eradicate the Heavenly Demon’s root.

After everyone left, Ely took Evelyn and Kirara away to Saintess Mingyue’s location using instant teleportation.

*Zap*

"Wha!" Mingyue gasped in surprise as several people suddenly appeared beside her.

The Blood Moon’s experts got alerted and were about to draw their swords to attack the intruder. However, Mingyue immediately stopped them with a hand gesture.

The surrounding experts and guards lowered their weapons, but they remained alert.

Mingyue put her hand on her upper chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, it’s you... You surprised me, Miko. Is it a teleportation? How can you do it?"

"Pleased to meet you, Saintess Mingyue. Yes, we can do it as long as the conditions for teleportation are met. You are my friend, and I can go to your side instantly." Ely greeted politely.

However, she noticed some unusual things happening to Saintness Mingyue. "Eh, why do you look a bit nervous?"

"Uhm... yeah. My father and other higher-ups sent an army for me to lead, making me a bit nervous. Since this is our first cooperation and my first war-level mission, my eldest sister volunteered and will bring her elite squad to help me..." Mingyue looked left and right as if she was afraid of something.

"Hmm..." Ely glanced at her surroundings.

She could notice the Blood Moon Pavilion took her request seriously. Mingyue could bring two 10th Ranks, four 9th Ranks, seven 8th Ranks, and nearly a thousand experts.

They would need many more people to form an army, but they were troops capable of bringing down an Empire nonetheless.

"???" Ely asked in wonder as she found dozens of people with the Feng surname when she checked the surrounding people’s status screens.

She could tell they were Mingyue’s relatives, but they were wearing red oni masks. They don’t seem to want to know that they are Minyue’s relatives?

"Lightning Empress Evie of the Aubourus Empire and the Sword Maiden Kirara of the Temple of Law. Pleased to meet you... but may I know, are you affiliated with Sacred Sakura through Saintess Miko?" Mingyue turned to the two ladies behind Saintess Miko and greeted them politely.

"The pleasure is mine, Saintess Mingyue. I’m always Sacred Sakura’s people, long before you know our Saintess Miko." Eve replied politely.

"Ah, so it’s like that... then, what about you, Sword Maiden Kirara? I don’t mean to be offensive or sound harsh. But, I heard the Temple of Law only serves the Supreme God of Law and doesn’t take orders from anyone unless it’s an oracle from your God." Mingyue asked with astonishment.

She couldn’t connect the dots about how the Temple of Law would be so willing to help the Sacred Sakura Holy Land unless... the Supreme God of Law conveyed his approval through Lady Kirara.

"You are right, Saintess Mingyue. The Temple of Law has always served the Supreme God of Law. Our people shall assist Sacred Sakura with the approval of our Supreme God of Law, currently residing at Sacred Sakura." Kirara clasped her hands in prayer.

She was the female bishop of the Temple of Law, and the new servant of the Sacred Sakura, serving the Supreme God of Law under the guidance of Saintess Miko (Ely). Therefore, she would be excited to spread the Supreme God’s greatness.

"!?" Mingyue and everyone from Blood Moon Pavilion gasped in shock.

That statement might be hard to believe if it were said by anyone else. However, the Sword Maiden Kirara was the one who said it!

As the Supreme God’s faithful servant, everything she could say was nothing but the truth. The Supreme God of Law was actually the Sacred Sakura’s backer. That surprised them a lot.

"Ahem! The revelation you stated is truly shocking, Sword Maiden Kirara. I am Feng Jie, Saintess Mingyue’s uncle and one of Blood Moon Pavilion’s elders. If you will, could you enlighten me from my confusion?" An old man with a robust, warrior stature stepped forward and grasped his fist in salute.

"Sure." Kirara replied with a subtle nod.

"Was it the oracle, or did you meet your God? What would your view of Sacred Sakura with mortal comparison?" Elder Jie asked as if he were trying to measure the Sacred Sakura’s depth.

"I met our God. You can’t compare between the mortal and the real divinity. The Sacred Sakura that you know is just a speck of ice-" Kirara shared the revelation with an expression full of excitement.

"Kirara..." Ely suddenly spoke up, interrupting Kirara’s words. It was unwise to disclose anything related to her Goddess Master to the outsiders!

Kirara soon apologized to Ely, but the Blood Moon’s people already comprehended vital information from that exchange.

"Mingyue~ My Little Yue~ Your sister is here to help you to assist Sacred Sakura." A graceful lady covered in a blood-red dress descended from the sky. Several ladies in a similar dress soon landed behind her.
