Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 513 Awakening
After Iris bowed, both Li Xia and the three little ones were surprised to find that this woman was different.

Previously, there was a five-tenths enthusiasm and a five-tenths skepticism; now, there is an added sense of recognition and warmth beyond enthusiasm.

Although there were still doubts, it was more like a person's instinctive basic wariness of everyone.

This discovery led Li Xia and the three little ones to another extreme: Could this Archbishop Simmons be some kind of mortal enemy of Iris?

"So how do I find him?"

"Are you going to confront Simmons right now? Are you crazy?"

Iris, holding the teacup, exclaimed in surprise, then patted her smooth forehead:
"Sorry, I forgot you're a lost soul again. Okay, Xia, listen to me, Simmons is far from someone you can face right now."

Killing Simmons is also our long-cherished wish, so what you need to do now is head to the headquarters of the Burning Heart Church and gather everyone's strength.

Develop targeted strategies

As she spoke, Iris's mood suddenly somber. She sighed softly, paused for a few seconds, and then continued:

"The most important thing right now is to help you get out of Ogan."

"Leave Ogan? Is that so difficult?"

Xiao Long curiously leaned over and asked:
"Although the city gates are closed, or there may be some kind of barrier, it shouldn't pose any problem for us anymore, right?"

"Ok?"

Iris paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening, and a smile gradually appeared on her face:
"By the way, you still don't know the truth about Ogan?"

She winked at Xiaolong, and a mischievous glint gradually appeared on her face:
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

As she spoke, she busied herself, and under Li Xia's watchful eye, Iris pulled out a number of strange things from the inner pocket of her robe.

For example, the bodily fluids of unidentified creatures, strangely colored powders, things that seem to be dripping blood, and things that resemble paintbrushes.

Just looking at those strange things makes one wonder about the nature of the Burning Heart Cult.

They even wondered how that pocket could hold so many things.

Iris was completely absorbed in her work and paid no attention to Li Xia and the others' gazes.

After mixing many ingredients together, Iris carefully added a drop of exceptionally clear water, whispering to Li Xia as she explained:

"Tears of truth are very rare, mainly because it's hard to find people who can shed such tears these days."

The next movement was much faster. Iris dipped the pen in the silvery-white seasoning and drew a rather complex formation on the ground.

"Alright, come stand here now."

Iris looked at her work with satisfaction, nodded to Li Xia, and said:

"Just stand in the very center, and be careful not to step on the magic circle I drew."

The three children all looked at Li Xia. The magic array of unknown purpose and the person they had just met—these two combined created a problem.

Believe it or not?
Without hesitation, Li Xia nodded slightly and stepped into the magic circle first.

The three little ones immediately followed and stood close to him.

"After you get out, remember to wait for me in Mosen Town! You must wait for me!"

"Aren't you coming with us?"

"No, I have very important matters to attend to in Ogan, which are also related to whether or not we can defeat Simmons. Don't worry, I was just caught off guard when the Church of Divine Proclamation captured me."

Iris waved her hand, then said somewhat irritably:
"I don't know what's wrong with the Church of Divine Proclamation. Why are they hunting us down for no reason? We used to have a pretty good relationship with them."

Aowu, Heitan, and Xiaotian all raised their heads and looked up at the ceiling, seemingly taking a keen interest in the old-fashioned chandelier covered in grease and rust.

Yes, who knows? The Church of the Holy Word suddenly went mad.
After a moment of distress, Iris suddenly looked at Li Xia:

"By the way, it seems you've been here for quite a while, and you even have a place to stay. Do you know anything about it?"
For example, what happened to the Church of the Holy Proclamation, and why did they go mad?” Li Xia said without changing his expression:
"I don't know, I'm not sure. Maybe the Church of Divine Word died, which is why they went mad."

"Collins is dead? That's a joke. That guy was terrifyingly strong. You never saw his true form. If it weren't for the Church of Divine Interpretation dragging him down..."

He is one of those who can fight Simmons.

"Fine, I'll look it up myself!"

Iris casually waved her hand, eliminating this only correct answer, and closed her eyes to calm herself down.

With her hands clenched tightly and her head bowed, she murmured something, and as she chanted the incantation, the entire magic circle suddenly lit up with a faint glow.

And it flows and intensifies continuously along the lines she draws.

"Don't be surprised if you get out!"

Suddenly, out of the blue, Iris said something that caused the entire magic circle to light up with an extremely intense light.

In an instant, it engulfed Li Xia and the three little ones within the magic circle.

The drowsy feeling gradually faded from my mind, as if I had slept for a long time and had a long dream.

That dull, aching feeling after a long sleep emanates from every corner of my body.

The stench of decay mingled with the damp, earthy smell of rotting earth, and the air was thick with an indescribable rottenness.

A cold, damp, and slippery sensation came from beneath her, and Li Xia slowly opened her eyes.

The world before my eyes suddenly became clear, and a dim sky came into view. Although there were no thick dark clouds in the sky, the sunlight had disappeared.

Several strange branches lay across the view, with tattered wooden strips tied to them swaying in the wind.

Li Xia slowly sat up, a look of astonishment in her eyes. She saw only broken tombstones and graves that had been dug up and scattered.

He was lying in a dilapidated stone coffin that looked quite old, with the original owner's skull right next to where he had just lain down.

The dark, hollow eye sockets stared back at him, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction.

The cemetery is not large; after a quick glance, it appears to be at most the size of a normal small cemetery.

"My grass!"

A howling sound came from not far away. A round dragon egg shot into the sky from the dug-up grave. It circled in mid-air before spotting Li Xia and hurriedly rushed down.

Black Charcoal and Howling Sky also cried out in surprise, crawling out of the coffin not far away, their faces covered in dust.

"No way, I just opened my eyes and there was a skull right in front of me, almost kissing me. Who could stand that?"

Having just gathered together, Aowu began to complain indignantly:

"That woman's skills are definitely not good enough. Her teleportation array is not even as good as the one in the palace. Grandpa Long is feeling uncomfortable all over now."

Li Xia suddenly spoke up: "Look at that building—doesn't it look familiar?"

The three children stopped their discussion and looked in the direction Li Xia was pointing.

Gradually, an expression of disbelief and astonishment appeared on Aowu and Heitan's faces.

Although it looked much more dilapidated and the sky had changed a lot, they could still tell what it was.

That's the clock tower not far from the Ogan City tavern.
