Chapter 159: A Core Member of the Yellow Dress Church Appears! The Mysterious Man Controlling Chains!
[He didn't run away when I was targeted?]
[Moreover... moreover, he came back to save me...]
[If it were the Lin Tianming from my previous life, he would have used me as a tool to buy time for his escape...]
Confirming that the person holding her was Lin Tianming, Meng Xiyue obediently listened to him and stopped struggling, not wanting to hinder his escape.
However, she was astonished. The person she thought to be a heartless and cruel individual didn't abandon her this time and was actually trying to escape with her.
Watching Lin Tianming carrying Meng Xiyue away, the mysterious man in the hood from the Yellow Dress Church was not worried about them escaping his grasp.
The chains around him clanged loudly, and in the next instant, he caught up to Lin Tianming at a speed faster than their escape.
The chains blocked and pulled them back, and since Lin Tianming had to carry Meng Xiyue, he couldn't transform into a spirit to avoid the attack. The chains dragged them back.
Even so, Lin Tianming held Meng Xiyue tightly.
[He could have just left me and used his soul form to escape... Why didn't he?]
Meng Xiyue was completely stunned because Lin Tianming's series of protective actions exceeded her understanding of him.
Pulling Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue back in front of him, the man with the chains said, "Young man, you are quite impressive. Are you interested in joining my Yellow Dress Church? This way, you can stay with the girl in your arms."
Facing the offer from the man with the chains, Lin Tianming, holding Meng Xiyue, said, "People from the Yellow Dress Church, when did you become so brazen to cause trouble in broad daylight? Wanting me to join your group of sewer rats? No way!"
The Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby jumped onto Lin Tianming's shoulder and growled at the man with chains with hostility.
Meng Xiyue looked at the righteous Lin Tianming protecting her and felt uneasy.
In her eyes, the Lin Tianming from her previous life would have wanted her to take the hit for him in such a situation.
The man with the chains was not angered by Lin Tianming's words; instead, he became more interested in him.
"You seem to have had contact with members of my Yellow Dress Church. Young man, I am different from those non-core members. If you join me, you will become a core member of the Yellow Dress Church, learning the secrets that the non-core members don't know and understanding how powerful our church is!"
Listening to the words of the man with the chains, Meng Xiyue's eyes became solemn.
[The Yellow Dress Church... isn't that the organization worshipping evil gods that appeared after the Era of Gods' Descent began?]
[So it already existed at this time?]
[This Yellow Dress Church still existed even during the era when the Three Ascended Divine Nations descended, with many god-level awakeners... they are an extremely troublesome group!]
[But now, without the chance to become a god, aside from Jiang Han, who had the highest chance to become a god but died, is there anyone else who can become a god at this time?]
Learning from Meng Xiyue's inner thoughts that the Yellow Dress Church would have god-level awakeners in the future, Lin Tianming's eyes darkened.
Like Meng Xiyue, he was curious about whether the current Yellow Dress Church had any god-level awakeners.
Thinking quickly about how to gather information, Lin Tianming soon said, "No matter how powerful your Yellow Dress Church is, do you have anyone stronger than my teacher Jiang Han? If not, why should I join your group of trash who can only hide in the dark!"
Almost as soon as Lin Tianming mentioned Jiang Han's name, the face of the man with the chains hidden under the hood showed a startled expression.
"You are a student of Jiang Han from the Thunder Palace?"
Hearing the startled words of the man with the chains, Lin Tianming could see that this man was also very afraid of his teacher Jiang Han.
This was good!
"Yes, I am the only student that Teacher Jiang Han has ever accepted. If you dare to touch me, Teacher Jiang Han will not spare you or your Yellow Dress Church!"
Faced with Lin Tianming's warning, the man with the chains, who was determined to capture him, fell into a brief silence.
It was evident that the title of the strongest top-tier awakener, Jiang Han, was quite intimidating!
However, the intimidation brought by Jiang Han's name didn't last long. The man with the chains soon looked at Lin Tianming mockingly.
"I admit I can't beat your teacher Jiang Han, but so what? If I capture you and this girl now, can she still catch me?"
The man with the chains didn't plan to waste more time with Lin Tianming.
After all, this was near the Imperial Capital University, and considering Lin Tianming was Jiang Han's student, if they delayed too long, Jiang Han might indeed show up.
Better to capture Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue, who had good potential, quickly!
As long as he brought these two SSS-level potential awakeners back, he wasn't afraid they wouldn't pledge allegiance to the Yellow Dress Church.
With this thought, the man with the chains released his chains again.
At this moment, Lin Tianming suddenly shouted with joy toward a direction behind the man.
"Teacher Jiang Han, you finally arrived! This is the guy who wants to capture me and Xiyue!"
Hearing that Jiang Han had arrived, the man with the chains immediately panicked like a frightened bird. He didn't even dare to look back and, with only the thought of escape in his mind, fled in a panic.
The way the man with the chains fled in terror far exceeded Lin Tianming's expectations.
Lin Tianming had intended to use his teacher Jiang Han's name to frighten the man into looking back for a moment to escape.
Who knew that the image of his teacher Jiang Han in the minds of these villains was so terrifying that it scared the man into running away without even looking back, without a hint of hesitation.
He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Teacher Jiang Han's name to be so useful. This guy was so arrogant before, but as soon as I mentioned Teacher Jiang Han, he ran without even looking!"
"Stop sighing. We should head back to the Imperial Capital University. If that guy realizes you tricked him and comes back, we won't be able to escape!"
Meng Xiyue's reminder echoed in his ears, and Lin Tianming, agreeing with her reasoning, quickly carried Meng Xiyue back to the Imperial Capital University.
Encountering someone from the Yellow Dress Church with such strength just a few streets away from the Imperial Capital University was something Lin Tianming hadn't expected.
Even though a stronghold had been destroyed, they still dared to be so bold, capturing students from the Imperial Capital University to serve them, and during the daytime too, showing how audacious the Yellow Dress Church was.
However, unlike the previous members of the Yellow Dress Church, this ridiculously strong guy was the first core member of the Yellow Dress Church he had encountered.
Although he was wary of his teacher Jiang Han, he still dared to capture people near the Imperial Capital University, indicating his high level.
He looked at Meng Xiyue in his arms: "Xiyue, what do you think of the man who claimed to be a core member of the Yellow Dress Church just now? What level do you think he is?"
"I don't know."
Meng Xiyue said she didn't know on the surface, but she had a rough guess in her mind.
[Judging by his method of sealing my abilities with chains, he is at least a level ninety or above awakened ability user.]
Understanding this from Meng Xiyue's thoughts, Lin Tianming pretended not to know and continued, "Xiyue, your abilities have been sealed. Can you unseal them yourself? If not, I'll take you to see Teacher Jiang Han; she will definitely have a way!"
This was a rare opportunity to improve his relationship with Meng Xiyue, and Lin Tianming wouldn't miss it.
Hearing this, Meng Xiyue hesitated for a moment and then decided to let Lin Tianming's teacher Jiang Han help her unseal her abilities.
"I can unseal it myself... but I'm too low-level, and it would take about seven days, which would greatly affect my training... So, I must trouble you to take me to your teacher Jiang Han!"
