The Saber King shielded Qin Ze from the energy impact.
Qin Ze felt a huge roar in his ears, and it took more than ten seconds for everything to calm down.
The abandoned factories in the entire area have vanished, replaced by a large pit tens of meters deep.
The gray fog was completely absorbed by the painting, and the painting disappeared along with it.
The onlookers on the Local Area Network were buzzing with discussion.
"This Preacher believed, even on his deathbed, that the evil god had not abandoned him."
"You're wrong. He's just afraid to face reality and can't admit his failure."
"To be honest, the evil god was a bit weak; Qin Ze knocked him back with a single punch. I think I could do it too."
Me too.
"..."
Qin Ze peeked out from behind the Saber King, and the matter was finally over.
Seeing that the pit was empty, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"No Relic?"
In some ways, the Preacher played the same role as the Apostle, so he should also have Relic.
Do you know what this thing is?
The Saber King turned around, revealing a dark red substance, about the size of an infant's fist, constantly changing shape in his palm.
Qin Ze opened his eyes wide, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.
It's Relic!
He said that how could Preacher not have Relic? It turned out that the Saber King had gotten there first.
That's incredibly fast! Is it some kind of thieving magic?
The Saber King then explained, "This thing emerged from the Preacher's body at the moment of his self-destruction."
Seeing the longing in Qin Ze's eyes, he said calmly, "You want it?"
Qin Ze nodded. "This thing is Relic, one of those..."
The Saber King interrupted him, "No need to tell me. Since you want it, then you can have it."
Immediately afterwards, the Saber King tossed his Relic to Qin Ze.
Even Qin Ze was surprised that Lao Dao would agree so readily.
He asked curiously, "Don't you want to know what this is?"
The Saber King shook his head. "Since the Grand Consul says you can be trusted, then I believe you will have no problem."
"I used to try to understand everything, but in the end I realized that there are too many problems in this world, no one is omniscient or omnipotent, and... I'm not suited to be a leader."
He raised his right fist and clenched it. "Compared to me, I'm better suited to charging into battle."
"No need to overthink it, just do what I'm good at."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze's stereotype of "uncouth martial artists" deepened.
" Relic things that only arise from the deaths of those who have received the power of the ancient gods, or from the World Overlord."
Whether Lao Dao Don't Ask is Lao Dao's business.
Qin Ze, however, felt that he should know about the Relic.
The Saber King said calmly, "Oh, so this is what it is. I remember Yao Yuan mentioning it to me."
Qin Ze was not surprised.
Brother Yuanzi's intelligence network, he's probably already keeping an eye on the Relic.
The Saber King then said, "A Preacher is this troublesome, and impossible to guard against."
"What if there are more Preacher next time, or their methods become more covert? How can we protect ourselves then?"
Qin Ze thought about it and realized that there was no solution to this problem.
After all, Preacher are protected by the power of evil gods, making them difficult even for the World Will to detect.
He sighed, "We can only pay more attention to this aspect."
The Saber King didn't continue on this topic; he split his battle sword in two and inserted it into the scabbard behind him.
"We've tracked down all the people who left Snow City, including those they had contact with."
"The numbers are small, but some of them already exhibit obvious characteristics of fanatics."
"All Law Enforcement in this operation were judges and enforcement officers at level five or above, ensuring that no infection occurred during the contact process."
"I've already sent these people to Snow City; they're on their way. You'll need to purify them later."
Qin Ze nodded. "No problem, leave it all to me."
The efficiency of Law Enforcement far exceeded his expectations; everything was resolved so quickly.
"I've been near the entrance to the Abyss."
"If you need anything, just come find me there."
Having said that, the Saber King turned and stepped into the void, departing.
Looking at the Relic in his hand, Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh, " Lao Dao was truly a good man."
At this point, people in gray coats began to arrive at the scene one after another.
Even though there was nothing there, they still had to go through the procedures and set up a long cordon around the area.
Qin Ze flew towards the center of Snow City, where he encountered Lu Tongtong and her group of Hunter.
The group had just finished a fierce battle with the Wandering Corpse horde and were resting on the spot.
The surrounding area was littered with the rotting, stinking remains of Wandering Corpse, and the men in gray coats were working hard to deal with them.
Thankfully, the temperature in Snow City is low, otherwise the smell would be unbearable.
Upon seeing Qin Ze, he waved to him from the Slacking on the Sidelines.
"Is anyone injured?" Qin Ze asked as he landed.
Slacking on the Sidelines, patted his chest, and said, "Just a bunch of Crab General."
Qin Ze then looked at Lu Tongtong.
The girl almost bit her tongue in her nervousness.
"I'm not... I'm not injured."
Seeing Lu Tongtong's adorable appearance, Qin Ze smiled inwardly, then said to the crowd, " The Preacher is dead; I will be responsible for purifying the remaining fanatics."
Slacking on the Sidelines, gave a thumbs-up, and exclaimed, "Awesome!"
Qin Ze waved his hand. "It's mainly because Saber King is here; I'm just playing support."
He then looked at the Taoist: "I heard you're guarding the forbidden area. Has the World Overlord shown any unusual behavior lately?"
The Taoist replied, " The World Overlord's activities have become increasingly frequent recently; its awakening is not far off."
Qin Ze frowned.
Even if there is no widespread death of living beings in the world, the World Overlord will one day be resurrected.
Just like how you have to wake up after you've had enough sleep, it's an unchangeable law of nature.
Qin Ze said, "Remember to notify me when the Dominator shows clear signs of awakening."
The Taoist looked suspicious, then nodded.
Qin Ze greeted everyone and then parted ways.
Watching Qin Ze's retreating figure, Brother Biao asked curiously, "Who's that guy? He looks so arrogant."
Passerby A said, "To be so close to the Saber King, and to have the Grand Consul's Law Token, he must be no ordinary person."
The Slacking on the Sidelines indifferently. "Whether it's simple or not is none of our business."
"Let's go celebrate!"
Lu Tongtong declined, saying, "I have to go back to Penglai City. We're working in a group, and I can't be away for too long."
The Scholar said, "I also need to go to Penglai City, let's go together."
The Taoist also spoke up, saying, "I'm still a little worried about my disciple guarding the forbidden area alone."
"Farewell, everyone."
Brother Biao stretched. "A request is due tomorrow, so I'm off."
After a moment, only the two members of the Dew Duo remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
"These guys, don't they even have time for a farewell dinner?" said the man Slacking on the Sidelines helplessly.
Passerby A patted him on the shoulder. "After that battle three years ago, everyone has been carrying a heavy burden on their hearts."
Slacking on the Sidelines Sighs, "It's been a while since we've been to the Abyss. Let's take a stroll around Penglai City."
Meanwhile, Qin Ze returned to the Circus's base with his Relic.
As soon as he entered the gate, he saw the Believer Clone strutting around with a staff.
