The Holy Father's body shot up into the sky like a cannonball, lacking the ghostly and shadowy movement from before, but with the same ferocity and majesty beneath that speed.
He swiftly passed by the Royal City of the posthumous child, evading all the city defenses aimed at him, but instead of rushing into the city, he floated before it and turned back to the motionless Temple of Dawn Warriors, asking, "What are you thinking?"
The commanders who had been summoned to speak with the Holy Father suddenly awoke from their daze and hurriedly commanded their troops to advance toward the Royal City of the posthumous child.
However, more than half of the warriors remained hesitant.
The Holy Father's recent actions had utterly shattered their beliefs, leaving them in a state of confusion. Their gazes were primarily fixed on the Holy Maiden and a few prominent figures.
The Holy Father's gaze shifted towards them, saying nothing but watching quietly.
The Holy Maiden met his eyes for a moment and waved her scepter.
Thus, the entire army of the posthumous child moved into action.
The Holy Father smiled in the air and turned, transitioning from stillness to motion, his body rapidly charging towards the city wall.
Screams of terror erupted, and the warriors on the city wall immediately fell into panic.
The Holy Father was an invincible presence; he did not enter the city but instead landed atop the city wall. No one could maintain their composure enough to continue firing and halt the assault from outside.
Wherever this ninth-level expert passed, both people and city defenses were instantaneously obliterated.
"Release them, let them all go!" Xia Lei shouted with red eyes, leading her people to launch a frenzied long-range attack towards the Holy Father's position.
No one knew if her command was executed; many even did not understand what Xia Lei meant by "release."
"Marking arrows!"
Xia Lei shouted again, and with her words, over a thousand white feathered arrows suddenly shot from an unknown location, covering the area around the Holy Father.
These arrows were not very conspicuous among the attacks aimed at the Holy Father. Whether it was the giant crossbow bolts or magic crystal weapons, they were far more imposing.
The feathered arrows scattered, not all targeting the Holy Father but instead encompassing the area around him.
The Holy Father paid little attention to these arrows; although he was not at his peak power at the moment, even if he stood still, these things could not harm him in the slightest.
However, after he slaughtered the nearby warriors, he noticed that these arrows exploded around him, releasing a mysterious powder that spread throughout his vicinity.
Knowing he was invincible here, the Holy Father still cautiously held his breath and swiftly dashed out of the cloud of powder.
Finding no abnormalities in his body, the Holy Father's gaze fell towards Xia Lei's direction; he had just overheard that this woman was commanding the battle.
His body swayed as he charged towards Xia Lei.
"Protect the eldest sister, take her away!" The core members around Xia Lei, including Little Tiger and Shengyuan, were alarmed and urged their subordinates to pull Xia Lei away while they positioned themselves in front.
Currently, Cloud Summit had five indispensable individuals. Ye Zhongming was naturally one of them; he was the leader of the entire group, and without him, Cloud Summit would vanish without a trace.
Next were Le Da Yuan and Liu Zhenghong; their presence provided Cloud Summit with a distinctive technological advantage over other forces, allowing Cloud Summit to stand tall on Earth.
Lastly, there were Park Soo-young and Xia Lei. The former was an exceptionally skilled professional, a soul-level supporter for the team, and the difference between having her and not having her was at least two levels.
Xia Lei, on the other hand, was a manifestation and spokesperson for Ye Zhongming, overseeing everything in the villa and loyally exercising responsibilities in areas where Ye Zhongming was less adept, making the villa grow larger without chaos. Much of the credit for this success was due to Xia Lei.
