To the east of the altar was a row of strange buildings that formed a long wall. There were all kinds of strange poses of animals on the wall. Some tigers were running, some dogs were chasing, some cows were roaring, and some snakes were circling. But no matter what they did, they were all staring at the group of people in the middle. The people in the middle were wearing all kinds of clothes, with all kinds of postures and expressions. Some were crying, some were laughing, some were jumping, some were shouting. Some of them looked like soldiers, while others looked like people. The most familiar one was a man wearing wizard clothes and holding a banner in his hand. Standing in the middle of them was a young girl in light clothes. Her hands were facing the sky, and she seemed to be chanting something. This young girl should be the former Witch Goddess. This was because the clothes on the painting were exactly the same as the clothes on the Saintess that Zhang Xiaofan had just seen.
This wasn't Zhang Xiaofan's first time seeing this wall. He had come here in the past to look for the Soul Summoning Technique. However, at that time, this place was filled with black fog and wandering souls. It was classified as a dangerous forbidden area by the various races. Zhang Xiaofan had once seen this wall with the help of Soul Catcher. He had studied it for a long time, but in the end, he returned in disappointment. Now, under the Saintess's help, the things from before had been swept clean. The entire wall could now be seen.
Zhang Xiaofan followed the group to the wall and stopped in front of the portrait of a group of people in the middle. The person in the painting was the size of a real person. Standing under the painting, the person in the painting was lifelike, as if he was real.
The two wizards in front of Zhang Xiaofan were praying in a low voice, but their voices were too soft to be heard clearly. On both sides of the group of people in the painting stood two soldiers who were on patrol. They each held an extinguished torch.
After the two Magi finished praying, they stood in front of the portraits of the two patrolling soldiers. The two Magi each stretched out a hand and pressed the torches in the hands of the soldiers in the portraits. The torch in the painting lit up after a moment. The light shone on the land in the painting and on the Witch Goddess in the middle of the crowd. The Witch Goddess in the painting slowly closed her eyes and disappeared along with the group of people in the painting. When the Witch Queen closed her eyes, a wide passage appeared between the two soldiers.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the changes in the middle with amazement and admiration. He didn't expect that there would be such a marvelous mechanism here. No wonder he had returned empty-handed several times.
The person in front of Zhang Xiaofan made an inviting gesture, and Zhang Xiaofan walked in with great interest. After everyone had entered, the two Magi released their torches and walked in. The two torches slowly extinguished. The painting of the Witch Goddess and a group of people appeared again, blocking the passage. It was as if she had never given birth to anything.
After passing through the wall, Zhang Xiaofan didn't see the cave that he had guessed. Instead, he saw a place that looked like a village. The wooden houses were all quietly surrounding a relatively large house. That was where the saintess and her clansmen discussed matters. It was called the Divine Decree Palace. The God Decree Palace worshiped the gods of the various tribes. The decisions made here were the highest decisions of the tribe. They were the will of the gods and could not be disobeyed.
There was an empty space in front of the Divine Decree Palace. This was supposed to be a place for the clansmen to gather. However, there was something that should not have been there. It was the Eight Vicious Mystic Flame Array. The fiendish spirit in the formation had undoubtedly ruined this beautiful atmosphere.
This formation wasn't left behind on purpose. It was just proof of a tragic battle. When Zhang Xiaofan saw the array, the Witch Goddess 'name and the Beast King that he loved to tease appeared in his mind.
In the hearts of the clansmen, the Beast King was just a wild monster. How could the clansmen know that the Beast King had gathered here and grown up? It had also come from here and returned. In the end, it was trapped in the Eight Vicious Mystic Flame Array and had to escape in a sorry state. This was the place where the Beast King was sad, and also the place where the Witch Goddess was sad.
Zhang Xiaofan was arranged to stay in a wooden house. There were two guards at the door, saying that it was for his safety and that he was not allowed to wander around. In fact, it was more accurate to say that he was under house arrest. It didn't matter if it was safe or if he was under house arrest, he didn't want Zhang Xiaofan to leave the house. Zhang Xiaofan was well-behaved and stayed in the room quietly. After all, he had a favor to ask of someone.
————
At dinnertime, someone had already sent food to Zhang Xiaofan's room, but no one dared to enter the Divine Decree Hall.
After the Saintess finished her blessings for the day, she came here before dinner and was now sitting on the main seat. Sitting with her were the five clan patriarchs. Behind the Saintess, the Grand Magus was discussing with the five clan leaders. The atmosphere was getting more and more intense. The Holy Maiden would only say at the right time,""Let's call it a day. The patriarchs should rest early.”After that, only the Grand Magus and the Saintess would be left in the Divine Decree Palace.
"Great Magus, don't be angry. I believe they will come to their senses in the future.”The Saintess comforted the Grand Magus like a daughter comforting her father.
"I won't get angry because of a few stubborn fellows, but they just don't agree to unite the clan.”The Grand Magus sighed and looked back at the Saintess that he had single-handedly elected.
"We've been discussing this for a few days, but there's been no result. Is it worth it to be so angry today?”
"You must unite your clan in order to push your prestige to the same level as that of the Witch Goddess.”The Great Warlock suddenly turned to look in the direction where the five clan leaders had left and said,"Are they angry? We can't make them angry. We still have to rely on them now. He needed to think of a way to relieve it.”
The Saintess lowered her head. All the big decisions were made by the Grand Magus. She only knew how to be obedient and did not care about anything else. The Grand Magus turned around and saw the Saintess with her head lowered. He said softly,"Go and rest. I'll take care of this. " Also, I'll take a look at Zhang Xiaofan, the one who broke into the altar today. He said that he has something to ask of you. I think he must have done something and recruited some powerful people. He must be hiding here." He is the person who killed the Beast King, the hero in the hearts of the people. With him joining us, it will only be more beneficial for us.”
"I know," the Holy Maiden said slightly."You should rest early too.”With that, he walked out.

There was dinner on a wooden table, and Zhang Xiaofan was sitting next to it. He hadn't eaten a single bite of his dinner, and he was still deep in thought. Beside the bed, Xiao Hui was holding a bottle of wine that had been delivered along with dinner, savoring it carefully.
The door opened. Zhang Xiaofan quickly stood up and saw that it was a soldier. The soldier saw Zhang Xiaofan and said,"The Empress has invited you."”After saying that, he walked out. Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed and quickly followed him out.
There were a few chairs on both sides of the wooden house. There were no tables or other miscellaneous items. It was obvious that it was a small conference room. The door was open, and the Saintess was sitting on one of the chairs. The holy robe on her body emitted a white light, adding to her sacred color and her pure charm.
The Holy Garment was a treasure passed down from generation to generation by witches. As long as it was worn by a virgin, it would shine. It could also increase the ability of witchcraft. The witches of all generations wore it on their bodies. Over time, the holy clothes became the symbol of the witch's identity.
The soldier stopped at the door, and Zhang Xiaofan walked in. It wasn't that the soldier didn't want to talk to Zhang Xiaofan, but Zhang Xiaofan's deadpan expression made him look bad.
"Zhang Xiaofan greets the Empress." Zhang Xiaofan bowed to the Holy Maiden as soon as he entered.
"Why did you come to Nanjiang to find me?" The Saintess asked lightly. You have eliminated a great calamity for my new Sorcerer Tribe and are our new hero. As long as your request is not too much, I will do my best to fulfill it.”
Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect the Holy Maiden to be so direct, so he said,""I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of the 'Soul Searching Technique'.”
"That's just a type of sorcery from our Sorcerer Tribe.”
"Your Highness, do you know how to do it?" Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed.”
"I've learned it. Why are you asking this?"
"I just want to ask the Empress to use this technique to save a person for me.”
"This is what you requested?"
"Exactly."
The Saintess was stunned. This was different from what the Grand Warlock had said.
"You really don't have anything else to say?" The Holy Maiden asked again.
"No more."
Swoosh! The Holy Maiden's expression instantly fell to the extreme, and she was so angry that she could not speak. It seemed like Zhang Xiaofan had tricked her and the Great Warlock. In fact, Zhang Xiaofan had never said that he wanted to join her. It was just the Grand Warlock's guess. However, she was just a little girl who had never experienced anything. How could she not accept this?
Zhang Xiaofan saw the Saint's strange expression and asked,""Why does the Empress think I have come?”
"I…"
The Holy Maiden couldn't bring herself to speak, and she was even more furious.
Seeing that the Saintess couldn't speak, Zhang Xiaofan was afraid that his words had offended the Saintess, so he said,""If my words offended the Empress, I apologize here. I only hope that the Empress can use the Soul Searching Technique to save a person for me.”
The Saintess was speechless. It wasn't Zhang Xiaofan's fault, but after hearing Zhang Xiaofan's words, the Saintess felt that it was all Zhang Xiaofan's fault.
If Zhang Xiaofan knew what the Holy Maiden was thinking, he wondered what he would think.
