189 The First Saint


    “Ca, you’ve done well! Just leave the rest to us!”


    A voice rang from Ca’s pendant.


    Something strange was happening. Ca’s body was restless. The mes around her surged.


    “Ahhh!” Ca screamed. She was in pain.


    “Ca!” shouted the Thorn Fairy. She was trying hard to pull herself up with her vines, but they kept burning. However, she didn’t seem as worried about her own situation as much as she was worried about her Lord.


    Xu Yuan didn’t intervene. He just watched quietly.


    “No!!!” cried Ca. “What are you doing?”


    Ca felt like she was going mad. Her powers surged, but it felt like she was losing her sanity. Her body expanded. It terrified her. If it kept expanding like this, she might explode.


    Everyone within reach, whether it was Xu Yuan or the Thorn Fairy, would die.


    “Use your destructive power to awaken the beast! This is an opportunity for you. You should feel honored as a member of the organization,” said the voice from the pendant.


    Ca was shocked. “First Saint, what do you mean? This is not the n!”


    The person speaking via the pendant was the First Saint of the Dark Screen.


    “This wasn’t the n!” said Ca.


    They had nned to use a special method to awaken the beast. Ca was supposed to steal the mythical beast’s power for herself and wake the beast. Then, she could control it.


    If a destructive power was used to wake the mythical beast without anyone to control it, the consequences would be disastrous. Nobody could stop the beast if it wasn’t shackled and controlled by someone.


    They had a n to awaken and seal the beast. So why were they changing the n now? Ca was about to ask when the voice became enraged.


    “Foolish girl!” said the First Saint. “From the beginning, the n was this. Our only goal is to wake Lord Lan Yu! You think any stupid person can control Lord Lan Yu?”


    Xu Yuan listened quietly. Ca and Thorn Fairy became agitated. They knew about the n, followed it at every step, and they had waited to awaken the beast. But they didn’t want it to wreak havoc.


    It seemed they both had been fooled by the organization. The First Saint only had the intention to awaken Lord Lan Yu. The contemptuous voice didn’t care about anything else. The First Saint was a fanatic!


    Xu Yuan gathered as much from the short conversation. The First Saint sounded like a fanatic who despised all living beings and wanted them to suffer.


    “Ahhhhh!!!” screamed Ca. She was almost at her limit.


    She would explode soon, and the destructive power would kill the Thorn Fairy and release the mythical beast into the world! She didn’t have much time left.


    Ca looked at Xu Yuan pleadingly. “Please, kill me!” she said. “Hurry! Kill me before I explode, and the destructive power awakens the mythical beast!”


    Ca begged him. She couldn’t live with the betrayal. Since she was going to die anyway, she didn’t want to give the First Saint the satisfaction of her death being a sess for awakening a disaster.


    Ca had epted her death. She now only had one request. She wanted to die on her own terms. She didn’t want the First Saint to seed.


    The First Saintughed. “Kill you? That poor hero can’t even save herself from falling into theva. How will she muster the strength to kill you?”


    Ca was in so much pain that her mind went nk for a moment. She didn’t know what the First Saint was saying. The First Saint was referring to the Thorn Fairy!


    ‘The First Saint can’t see the ck dragon?’ wondered Ca.


    “Please, ck dragon, kill me!” Ca pleaded. “I won’t let his n be a sess.”


    “ck dragon?” said the First Saint in surprise. “Where did this ck dragone from? Ca, are you trying to trick me? Do you not see that there is no point to your whining?”


    Ca was puzzled. The First Saint didn’t seem to sense the existence of Xu Yuan.


    ‘Is it because the ck dragon is far away for the First Saint to sense his existence through the pendant? Or is it because the ck dragon can mask himself to escape observation?’


    After seeing what Xu Yuan would do, Ca was more inclined to believe thetter. If that was true, it would be so easy for Xu Yuan to impede the First Saint’s n!


    Cara Looked at Xu Yuan. He stared back at her, unmoved. Xu Yuan seemed indifferent about the problem at hand.


    Ca fumbled in her pockets and took something out.


    “Here! You can take this,” she said as she threw something at him.


    Xu Yuan reached out and grabbed it. It was the Competition Gem.


    “Kill me,” said Ca. “And please save her!” She pointed at the Thorn Fairy.


    The Thorn Fairy was trying her best to create more vines to pull herself up the pir. However, the vines kept burning away. She was getting closer and closer to theva!


    Xu Yuan shook his head. “This is not enough. With this gem, I can only fulfill your request of ending your life. To save her, I want something else.”


    The First Saint’s voice was agitated. “Who is it? Who can actually block themselves from my observation?”
