Chapter 1459

In Red Blood City, the area covered by the Red Blood Temple built by Elder Ancestor Scarlet Eye was exactly the same size. The square area had completely disappeared from the city and turned into a bottomless abyss.

As soon as the people from Demonic Palace left, many people rushed toward the abyss to see what kind of damage the Saint had caused. Many people were shocked when they saw it because the control of the bombardment force was extremely precise, and they could not see how deep it went.

The people of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew did not pay attention to it. They had just seen Gu Ding appear, and not long after, the area was quarantined. Then, they saw Gu Ding leave with the people from Demonic Palace. As for what happened in the middle, no one knew except the group of people present.

The old lady of the Gu family was also puzzled. The moment she saw Gu Ding appear, she almost made a move to kidnap him, but fortunately, Kunos stopped her.

With a Saint and two Holy Sons present, they could only watch helplessly as Gu Ding was taken away.

"Logically, the crime of rebellion should be executed on the spot and announced to the entire abyss as a warning. Why did Demonic Palace take Gu Ding away? "The old lady of the Gu family had many doubts. "Now that Demonic Palace is involved, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Gu Ding was not killed. At least for now, it's a good thing." Kunos had no choice but to say so.

The news of the Demonic Palace Saint's expedition, the destruction of the Red Blood Temple, and the capture of Elder Ancestor Scarlet Eye and the legendary Abyss Devil Lord quickly spread throughout the abyss.

For a moment, the entire abyss was in a state of panic.

Those forces that secretly wanted to overthrow the rule of the Demonic Palace had completely withdrawn. Just the news of the Demonic Palace having a Saintess was enough to shock everyone.

This was because everyone in the abyss knew that there was an absolute condition for Demonic Palace to choose a Saint — her cultivation must surpass the Venerable Realm and reach another legendary level.

There were only a few people at that legendary level during the most prosperous prehistoric times. In this era, powerhouses at that level were invincible. Even powerhouses at the Venerable Realm could be killed with one hand.

"As long as the Saint is here, Demonic Palace is unshakable."

This saying had been passed down since the Primordial Era. Not only did the Demonic Palace firmly believe it, but even the other forces in the Abyss could not refute it.

The Demonic Palace had also been paying attention to the movements of the other forces in the Abyss. After the Saintess' expedition this time, there were indeed large-scale changes in some forces. Some forces even had their upper echelons replaced.

…

In the Demonic Palace, Gu Ding was arranged to stay in the most luxurious guest room. Even Elder Ancestor Scarlet Eye and Elder Ancestor Wanmo enjoyed VIP treatment, staying in the guest rooms on either side of Gu Ding.

As outsiders were not allowed near the residence of the Holy Lady and the Holy Son, Mary had to make several trips to Gu Ding's place a day.

She ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Gu Ding, not missing a single one.

On top of that, they even said that they wanted supper in the evening and dragged Gu Ding along.

During supper on the first night, Mary brought Gu Ding to the tallest building in the Demonic Palace — the Observatory.

"This stargazing platform was built in the early Primordial Era. Back then, the Demonic Palace had some astrologers who could predict the future. Every time the Saintess of the Demonic Palace had to make a major decision, she would send an astrologer here to predict good or bad luck. However, to me, this is just a good place to look at the stars. Every time I come here, I'll be reminded of the days I spent on Planet Aquamarine. "Mary looked up at the stars in the sky with a sentimental expression.

"Big Brother Gu Ding, do you remember when we used to eat barbecue and look at the stars on summer nights?" Mary turned her head to look at Gu Ding.

"Of course I remember. You were full after a few skewers, and I was the one who finished them in the end." Gu Ding shook his head and smiled. "I used to tease you that you ate too little, so you didn't grow."

"That was before. I'm sure I can eat more than you now," Mary said indignantly.

"But your appearance hasn't changed at all." Gu Ding paused for a moment, then asked, "Did the Demonic Palace find out the reason for your physical condition?"

Gu Ding was referring to the abnormal condition of Mary's body. In fact, when Gu Ding was five years old, Mary suddenly appeared in Cerule's red light district and was later adopted by Auntie Roastbeef. At that time, Mary looked like this. She looked like she was only five or six years old. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, like a doll.

Until Gu Ding was fourteen years old, before Mary disappeared, she still looked the same. She had not changed at all. Now that he saw Mary again, Gu Ding could recognize her at a glance because she had not changed at all, except for her clothes and accessories.

"In the first year I came to the Demonic Palace, they told me that my physique is a congenital infant. My body automatically built a congenital reincarnation cycle, and it's an excellent physique for cultivation," Mary explained.

Gu Ding listened and did not continue to ask. Some things were better left to Mary. There was no need for him to ask too much. He immediately changed the topic. "How are you doing here?"

"Not before I became a Saintess. The competition for a Saintess is fierce, and there are many candidates. I'm small, so they bully me. However, the more they bully me, the more I want to become a Saintess. Because once I become a Saintess, no one can bully me! Moreover, I can ask them to find Brother Gu Ding! "

"So, I cultivated desperately and kept getting stronger. In the end, I surpassed all of them and became a Saintess! After I became a Saintess, all of them have to listen to me now, "Mary gave such an answer.

"What about you, Brother Gu Ding? I remember that you always wanted to be an Interstellar Pirate. "Mary looked at Gu Ding with interest. She also had some yearning for an Interstellar Pirate career. After all, like Gu Ding, she grew up in an environment like the Rose Bar. She had heard stories of Interstellar Pirates' adventures since she was a child. Now that she thought about it, most of those stories were just boasting.

"I'm now the leader of a pirate crew. There are sixteen members in my crew, including me. They are: Neptune, Liliath, Biggie … "

Under the night sky, Gu Ding began to tell his story.

For a moment, Mary was fascinated by it. Before she knew it, it was already late at night.

Two maids appeared on the observatory with unfriendly faces and glared at Gu Ding.

"Madam Saintess, it's time to rest."

"I'm not tired at all …" Mary puffed up her cheeks with a reluctant expression on her face.

"Go ahead and rest well." Gu Ding rubbed Mary's head.

When the two maids saw this, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"I don't want to go. I want to listen to Brother Gu Ding's story." Mary still refused to leave.

"I'll continue to tell you another day. I still have to do a test tomorrow, so I need to rest well today." Gu Ding dissuaded her.

"Alright, we'll come again tomorrow!" Mary reluctantly turned around and walked toward the two maids.

Mary quickly left with the two maids leading the way.

Gu Ding was still sitting on the stone bench on the observatory, looking up at the sky. This starry sky was far from the one he was familiar with.

The story he had just told Mary reminded him of the first time he met everyone. It seemed like it had happened yesterday.

"Everyone must be worried about me. I can't continue to waste time here. I have to find a way to leave the Abyss as soon as possible!"
