Chapter 1373 I’ll Protect You

Ye Bufan shook his head, too lazy to bother with these people. As the hour of midnight drew closer, he said to Ye Tian, "It's almost time. Go open the door."

"Yes!"

Ye Tian replied, stepping towards the giant rock.

Geraint immediately sneered, "Open the door? What a joke. Do you even know where the door is?"

Gareth followed, "Exactly. That's just a rock. There's no way to get in…"

Before he could finish, Ye Tian struck out with a punch, fiercely slamming into the giant rock.

With a rumbling sound, the giant rock trembled several times, then turned into a cloud of dust. Immediately after, a dark, shadowy mountain gate appeared before everyone.

The mountain gate was built from long, rectangular marble slabs, standing several zhang high with a magnificent Aura. Beside it stood a stone tablet with large characters inscribed: "Ancestral Holy Land, trespassers die!"

Inside the mountain gate were endless steps, stretching out of sight, leading directly to the mountain peak.

Sophie and the other two were completely dumbfounded. They had passed by the giant rock several times in the past few days, even resting there, but never imagined that this was the main entrance to the Ghost Witch Sect.

They had just ridiculed others for not finding the main entrance, only to be slapped in the face moments later, which made them feel extremely awkward.

Ye Bufan paid them no mind, stepping into the mountain gate, with Ye Tian following closely behind.

Geraint swallowed hard and said, "Do you think they might be sent by the Ghost Witch Sect to lure us in? Otherwise, we've been searching for so long and couldn't find it. How did they discover it?"

Sophie shook her head, "That's impossible. As far as we know, the Ghost Witch Sect doesn't have Easterners, and one of them is a Martial Artist while the other is an ordinary person. They couldn't possibly be Disciples of the Ghost Witch Sect."

Although Gareth was a bit embarrassed, he still said, "I think so too. Holy Light is the best test. That Ye Tian just now wasn't afraid of our Holy Light, so he definitely isn't from the Ghost Witch Sect."

Geraint thought about it and agreed, saying, "So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Now that we've found the door, let's hurry in and rescue her. The longer we delay, the more danger Helena will be in."

After Sophie finished speaking, she stepped forward to catch up with Ye Bufan, with Geraint and Gareth close behind.

"Mr. Ye, wait a moment." Geraint ran up to Ye Bufan.

"Is something wrong?"

Ye Bufan glanced at him and asked.

Geraint said, "Thank you for helping us find the door. In return, we can protect your safety and go in together to rescue her."

"Protect us?"

A smile touched the corner of Ye Bufan's lips. With a Saint-Grade expert and a Heavenly Corpse that hadn't appeared in a thousand years on his side, why would they need protection from them?

Sophie followed, "Yes, Mr. Ye. The Ghost Witch Sect uses evil sorcery and is very difficult to deal with, but our Divine Court has a lot of experience with them and can definitely ensure your safety."

Although there was a small misunderstanding between them, it was clear that these three people had good hearts and were not evil individuals.

Ye Bufan also didn't want to see them die at the hands of the Ghost Witch Sect, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go together. We can look out for each other."

Geraint was completely unimpressed in his heart. In his opinion, Ye Bufan and the other person were completely useless against the Ghost Witch Sect.

Though he said nothing, he secretly resolved to show them his capabilities later.

Thinking this, he charged forward first, while Sophie and Gareth positioned themselves on either side, shielding Ye Bufan and the other person behind them.

The group of five walked up the mountain, and not long after they started, a furious roar suddenly echoed.

"How dare you trespass on my Ghost Witch Sect Holy Land!"

As the words fell, dozens of figures swiftly approached, surrounding the five people.

Each of these individuals was extremely sinister, with a dense Evil Qi. Leading them was a gaunt old man whose eyes gleamed with a green, eerie light.

When he sensed the sacred Aura emanating from Sophie and the others, he immediately showed a shocked expression and said, "It's people from the Divine Court. How did you find this place?"

The ancestral Holy Land of the Ghost Wizard Sect had always been extremely well-hidden, never discovered by outsiders, let alone the Divine Court, their sworn enemies.

Geraint laughed triumphantly, "Didn't expect that, did you? The Dominator guided us to eliminate you dark creatures."

Gareth instantly drew the Holy Light Cross Sword from his back: "Vile creatures, you shouldn't exist in this world. Come and die."

"Just you?"

The gaunt old man confirmed that there were only three young men, and the fear in his heart instantly vanished.

Although the Divine Court could restrain the Black Wizard Alliance, this was relative. This was the ancestral Holy Land of the Ghost Wizard Sect, and just two Golden Knights plus one Cardinal were far from enough.

As for Ye Bufan and Ye Tian next to them, he automatically ignored them. They didn't even have a hint of sacred Aura; at most, they were ordinary people and posed no threat whatsoever.

"All Divine Court people deserve to die."

The gaunt old man roared, striking out a palm towards Sophie and the other two.

He was not a Martial Artist, but as he struck out with his palm, a yellow Qi current immediately diffused, eventually forming a thick mist that enveloped the three.

Caught off guard, two Ghost Witch Sect Disciples nearby failed to dodge in time and were grazed by a tiny bit of the yellow Qi current, instantly turning into a puddle of blood.

However, the gaunt old man didn't care. In the Ghost Witch Sect, strength was paramount. As long as he could kill these three people, a dozen Disciples were nothing.

"This is Corpse Qi!"

Geraint's expression changed instantly. "Damn it, you Ghost Witch Sect even Cultivate Corpse Qi. Aren't you afraid of turning into walking corpses?"

The gaunt old man cackled sinisterly, "Our Ghost Witch Sect only cares about life and death, not the means. Save those words for your God, shall you?"

"God Dominators everything, God says all darkness in the world should be purified. Purification Art!"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice rang out, and it was Sophie who had activated the Divine Court's art.

She extended a finger and pointed towards the dark sky. The night sky suddenly lit up, and a beam of Holy Light descended, instantly covering the yellow mist.

As the saying goes, one thing overcomes another. Holy Light is the bane of all dark forces. In just a blink of an eye, the yellow mist formed from Corpse Qi was purified completely.

The gaunt old man's expression changed. He hadn't expected his strongest art to be neutralized so easily by the opponent.

Before he could recover, Geraint preemptively struck out with a sword.

"Holy Light Slash!"

Immediately, a Holy Light shot out, piercing into the gaunt old man's chest.

"Ah!"

With a shrill scream, the black Qi on his body was completely purified by the Holy Light, ultimately leaving behind a mummified corpse that fell to the ground.

At the same time, Gareth launched an attack on the Black Wizard Sect Disciples nearby. The Holy Light Cross Sword in his hand flashed repeatedly, and rays of sword light cleanly cut down dozens of people around him.

In just one or two minutes, the first battle was won. The Ghost Witch Sect Disciples at the foot of the mountain were almost completely annihilated.

Geraint put away his Holy Light Cross Sword and looked at Ye Bufan and the other person with a triumphant expression: "Did you see that? This is the Divine Court's strength. It still takes us to deal with the Ghost Witch Sect."

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, not caring, but Ye Tian pouted: "Just killing a few useless people, what's so great about that?"
