"Who dares to trespass the Great Dragon Church?!"
Just as Long Nyssa's voice fell, more than a dozen followers of the Great Dragon Church stormed in through the windows and doors. These people were all tall in stature, with muscular bodies, and their aura reached the level of saints.
"Chaos Ice Crystal!" Bexia's mind moved, and a layer of grey ice crystals spread under her feet. Before the followers could do anything, they were frozen in place by the ice. However, Bexia did not kill them.
"Wait a moment, Long Nyssa!" Bexia looked at Long Nyssa, who was struggling, and remembering she had just explained her situation, Bexia immediately took out a silver paper talisman from the subspace. This was a special divine talisman used to break various curses and prohibitions, capable of dispelling most divine arts below the eternal level.
"Break!" Bexia placed the talisman on Long Nyssa's forehead, and a colorful light rose from behind her. It was a black dragon that struggled against the mental talisman for a moment before reluctantly dissipating, especially its last angry gaze, giving Bexia a bad feeling.
"Hoo!" Long Nyssa suddenly collapsed, exhausted and weak. Bexia quickly caught her, then gently laid her on a nearby soft cushion.
"Are you okay?" Bexia asked.
"I'm fine, just a bit drained," Long Nyssa replied. Then, she looked at Bexia from head to toe with a evaluating gaze and said with a smile, "It's been a few years, and you've grown taller!"
"If I hadn't grown taller, I'd be disabled!" Bexia chuckled in response. His previous appearance as a young boy was hard to describe, especially when he used to be half a head shorter than Long Nyssa, but now they had reversed roles.
"Giggle!" Long Nyssa was amused by Bexia's humor and then her expression suddenly changed. A spatial crack appeared behind Bexia, and several figures emerged from it, with the last one being the high priest of the dragon god.
"Don't worry, leave it to me," Bexia gestured for Long Nyssa not to worry. He had already sensed their arrival before they came, thanks to the spatial fluctuations.
"Long time no see, High Priest!" Bexia smiled at the elegant middle-aged man.
"You are..."
"It's you!" The red Dragonkin recognized Bexia at a glance.
"Oh! I believe you should call me Dragonkin Enki!" Bexia had some impression of the red Dragonkin.
"So, what is your purpose here?" The high priest didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Just checking on an old friend, but it seems she's not doing well!" Bexia replied calmly, still upset about Long Nyssa being cursed.
"Is the saintess of your Great Dragon Church treated as a slave? Needing to be cursed to behave?"
"This is the internal affair of our Great Dragon Church. It seems it's not your place to interfere, right?" The high priest of the dragon god replied with a stoic expression.
"Hmph!" Bexia snorted and didn't say much more. The Great Dragon Church seemed eerie everywhere, just using a curse to restrain Long Nyssa had already made him quite disgusted.
"It seems that Sister Long Nyssa doesn't want to stay here. Do you mind if I take her away?" Bexia condensed a warblade from chaotic ice crystal in his hand. These five individuals in front of him were all immortal-level beings, although individually they didn't feel strong to him, their numbers posed a challenge.
"Don't mind me, just go!" Long Nyssa said.
"Don't worry, Sister Long Nyssa, I will take you away," Bexia reassured her with a comforting gaze. Long Nyssa had shown him great kindness, especially during the time when he had lost his memory. How could he turn a blind eye when she was in trouble now?
"You arrogant brat, you don't even regard us highly!" Dragonkin Enki's arms had already transformed into dragon claws, and in his hot temper, he directly punched towards Bexia.
"Hmph!" Bexia snorted and slowly lifted his left fist to meet Enki's punch.
"Hmm?" Enki, who was originally full of confidence, had a drastic change in expression after colliding with Bexia. Before he could even be surprised, a huge force poured out from his fist, sending him flying backwards!
"How is this possible?" The other Dragonkin were all shocked. They hadn't expected Enki, who was already an immortal deity, to be defeated by Bexia with just one punch.
While Bexia could sense the immortality in himself, it was not strong, proving that he had only touched the threshold of immortality, without truly reaching that level.
Yanji had already advanced to the level of an immortal deity a year ago, and his strength was second only to a few Dragonkin. Even with such strength, being defeated by Bexia with a single move left them all astonished!
To be honest, the Dragonkin already felt that they were no match for Bexia. But they couldn't let Bexia take Long Nyssa away, because she was an absolutely crucial part of the dragon god's important plan. There couldn't be any mistakes.
Initially, the most suitable candidate was Long Momo, but she seemed to have realized something and escaped, even fleeing to a forbidden place. Even facing a life-threatening situation, she did not want to stay in the Great Dragon Church.
Having failed once due to negligence, it was absolutely imperative that Long Nyssa did not make any mistakes this time. Otherwise, if the dragon god blamed them, none of them could bear the consequences!
