Ah Dai was stunned and said, "Let's go and see. We'll know once we ask." With that, he grabbed Xuan Yue's small hand, lifted lightly into the air, and headed towards the defense circle of the Sacred Knights at the foot of the Divine Mountain. Just as they approached the outer defense, a loud shout echoed, "Halt! Who dares to intrude the Holy Mountain of the Church?" Upon spotting Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, hundreds of Sacred Knights quickly surrounded them. Their longswords were pointed at the duo, ready to attack at the slightest provocation.
The Sacred Knights were the lowest-ranking clergy of the church. They had never encountered Xuan Yue before, especially now that she was wearing a common light blue dress, and not her usual distinctive attire.
Her face softened when she faced Ah Dai, becoming surprisingly stern, she sternly said, "What has happened to the Church? I am the Red Priestess Xuan Yue."
