Chapter 1276: The Sacred Light Duo

News of the Demon Realm attacking the Sacred Realm spread quickly within the Sacred Realm, causing panic everywhere.

Currently, the Handa Alliance is the largest force straddling both the Demon Realm and the Sacred Realm. Just as it seemed the alliance was about to unify the two worlds, they found themselves in internal conflict.

Unifying the two worlds was supposed to resolve long-standing disputes, but here they were, bickering amongst themselves, the intensity no less than the previous multilateral conflicts.

At this moment, in the temple, the Handa Alliance of the Sacred Realm had been planning to attack the Demon Realm, but since they had two leaders, they couldn’t reach a consensus, and thus delayed any action.

Well, now it turned out the Demon Realm struck first, and they were caught off guard.

“Didn’t I tell you that the Demon Realm wouldn’t be idle? You still think we should just wait? Now look! They’re attacking us! We’ve suppressed the Demon Realm for years, and they dare to attack first? They treat us like we’re nothing!”

The one fuming was one of the leaders named Han Zhe, an ardent proponent of aggression, being yelled at by the other leader, Feng Qun, who was more cautious and conservative.

“What are you so anxious about? If they come, isn’t that great? Fighting in the Sacred Realm is better than in the Demon Realm, right? It’s easier to defend than to attack!”

“Sure, let them take our three territories. They’ve come prepared, and you still want to defend? What a joke! They’re about to reach the temple! Why don’t you give it a try and see if you can hold them off?”

“Giving those territories to them doesn’t affect our strategy at all.”

“Enough! You’re no longer of any use here.”

Han Zhe gestured, and several holy warriors within the temple immediately drew their sharp swords, charging towards Feng Qun. Feng Qun’s guards rushed to intervene, but Han Zhe had schemed this for a long time, and Feng Qun had no chance to resist, being swiftly subdued.

“I wanted you to retire peacefully, but you just wouldn’t take the hint. Fine, now you have to withdraw, and permanently at that.”

Han Zhe took the sword from his subordinate and walked over to Feng Qun’s side. Feng Qun, still in shock, realized that the group of holy warriors was entirely under Han Zhe’s command, some of whom had defected!

“You…! This will ruin the future of the Handa Alliance!”

“Keeping you around gives us zero future.”

With that, Han Zhe struck down the sword, instantly killing Feng Qun. Feng Qun’s remaining subordinates were left panic-stricken, kneeling and pleading for mercy.

“Listen up! The Handa Alliance of the Sacred Realm is now mine to command! Anyone with objections can step forward!”

Han Zhe shouted fiercely, and everyone below fell silent, not daring to speak out. With one person in charge, who would dare to dissent?

Now the Handa Alliance of the Sacred Realm was in the same state as the Handa Alliance of the Demon Realm—under one leader, unified commands. Just as the Sacred Realm was about to retaliate, they quickly sent troops into battle, engaging fiercely with the Demon Realm.

…

…

Luo Xiaoxue and Su Kexin had been in the Sacred Realm for a while when they happened to encounter the Handa Alliance from the Demon Realm attacking; the Sacred Realm was now in dire straits.

“The passage to the Demon Realm is open; we can go look for Senior Martial Brother.”

“Even if it’s open, what can we do? Do you even know what the situation is in the Demon Realm? What if we feel unwell there? Besides, is Lin the Knight even in the Demon Realm?”

“What should we do then? What do you suggest?”

Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue began to argue, their opinions clashing, contemplating splitting up to go their separate ways.

But it was mostly just an emotional spat; once they calmed down, they would discuss it rationally.

Su Kexin sighed heavily, an increasing sense of unease washing over her as the Demon Qi from the Demon Realm spread into the Sacred Realm, making her feel slightly unwell.

“Huh? They’re coming! Are we supposed to hide?”

Su Kexin frowned, realizing a horde of demons was approaching.

“Yeah, let’s hide. We don’t know their strength yet.”

Luo Xiaoxue suggested they take cover for the time being. Although they were in the Sacred Realm, the Handa Alliance from the Demon Realm was like an unstoppable force, clearly well-prepared. They quickly captured various territories in the Sacred Realm, with reinforcements streaming in from the Demon Realm, inching closer to the temple.

“There are so many of them! Is that what demons from the Demon Realm look like? Huh? That’s…?”

Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue hadn’t run far, hiding in a corner to observe, when they spotted a familiar figure among the mass of demons.

Lin Nuo.

Or rather, someone who looked a lot like Lin Nuo.

“Is that Senior Martial Brother? Can you see? Is that really him?! It kinda looks like him but also kinda not!”

Su Kexin urgently asked Luo Xiaoxue to confirm. Although these two were not as good at recognizing Lin Nuo as Qin Shili, they were still able to pinpoint his location among the crowd.

“It does seem like him, but it also doesn’t… this feeling… Hm…”

Luo Xiaoxue couldn’t put it into words either; it was her first time feeling so uncertain about whether it was Lin Nuo or not.

Moreover, the person who looked like Lin Nuo was rampaging in front, mercilessly slaying the holy warriors who charged forward, as if he had opened the gates of slaughter.

After he finished off his enemies, he noticed the two observing him from the shadows.

He immediately broke off from his unit and dashed toward them.

“Ah? He’s coming this way!”

“Such a strong killing intent! We need to run!”

Realizing the precarious situation, the two quickly tried to escape, but the lightning-fast man blocked their way.

Meanwhile, the original consciousness of Lin Nuo had also been rendered speechless inside the puppet’s body.

These two girls?

Aren’t they the Sacred Light Duo?!

This is bad. Lin Nuo had been slicing through enemies without breaking a sweat, but now the puppet’s consciousness seemed to have gone haywire, running after these two girls.

No, if this escalates into a fight and they see him as an enemy, it would be catastrophic.

One main character unleashing his power, one Great威天龙, and no number of lives would be enough!

Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue were on high alert, sensing the killing intent that did not feel like Lin Nuo at all.

“Senior Martial Brother, is that you? Or are you an impersonator?!”

“The name of Lin the Knight does not allow you to taint it.”

Both Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue suddenly seemed invigorated, brandishing their sharp swords, ready to face this Lin Nuo puppet head-on.

Lin Nuo: “…”

It’s me, really! But how do I tell you that?

Can’t we have a moment of telepathy, a soul conversation, or something?!

The puppet consciousness, feeling threatened by Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue, couldn’t rationalize the situation and charged directly at them without hesitation. Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue countered—one exploded in power, the other summoned Sacred Light, both empowered within the Sacred Realm, amplifying their might.

Lin Nuo pondered whether to seize control and reclaim his body.

But if he did that, his infiltration plan would be ruined.

Right, it’s no longer a covert operation; he was out here waging war, essentially a killing machine now.

Thinking about it like that does make sense; stealth was pointless now.

“I am Lin Nuo, can you hear me?”

Lin Nuo tried to communicate and quickly sent his voice to the two of them.
