Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"What do you mean by that?" Walter of Canis Major raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not give up his attack and quickly assumed an attack stance.

"I am also a member of the Holy Land. I trained in Jamir and only recently came down the mountain. I was ordered to come here to help investigate the case of the priestess's death!"

Wu Xin shrugged and said, "You may not know me, but you should at least recognize the moves I'm using right now, right?"

"This is my best proof of identity!"

As he spoke, he released two streams of silver energy from the tip of his right finger, which circled around the battlefield.

"This is... the aura of corpses?"

Walter of Canes Venatici paused for a moment, but still recognized the two silver streaks of energy.

That's the move that the Cancer Gold Saint is most skilled at using in the Twelve Palaces of Gold.

Although he had never met Wuxin in the Holy Land, he was certain that the other party was closely related to Cancer and was indeed one of his own, based on this move as a marker of identity.

"I'm so sorry, we were too hasty and caused a misunderstanding!" Walter put away his aggressive stance and politely apologized.

Not far away, Mike, the Big Dipper, dared not be negligent and immediately joined in the apology.

"I'm sorry, I was too reckless!"

"It's alright, we're all doing this for the Holy Land and the Goddess!"

Wu Xin didn't pursue the matter further, and looked at the ghost he had bound, saying, "I arrived a little early and just found out some things. Let's both listen to them!"

Having witnessed the battle between two Saint Seiya warriors, even if it was just a single move, the old man was already terrified.

He dared not hide anything and immediately revealed, "The tragedy occurred around 1 a.m. the night before last."

“I saw with my own eyes that three people rushed into the temple, forcibly dragged out the priestess who was guarding the temple, and handed her over to a man waiting outside.”

"Then, the man used the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed, and defiled the priestess right outside the temple gate, and tortured her to death in an extremely cruel manner!"

At this point, the old man couldn't help but wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, his face filled with terror.

Even though he has now become a ghost, he still feels cold sweats all over his body whenever he thinks of the scene of the other party torturing the priestess that night.

Upon hearing this, the impatient Ursa Major immediately pressed on, "Do you know that group of blasphemous villains? Can you help us find them?"

The old man thought for a moment and said seriously, "The one in the lead seemed to be shrouded in a black mist, and I couldn't see his face at all."

"I just felt that he was extremely terrifying. Even hearing his laughter would make me tremble all over!"

"As for the other three, they are all locals: One-Eyed Zach, Six-Fingered Neil, and the tavern owner, Laws."

"They meet at the tavern every day; you should be able to find them there!"

"Thank you for your help, old man!" Wu Xin was overjoyed.

With the clues provided by the old man, it became much easier to investigate the priestess's death further.

"Then let's get going! I'm about to lose control of my anger, and I wish I could tear those bastards who blasphemed the goddess to shreds right now!" Mike the Big Dipper said impatiently.

"Don't rush!"

Walter of Canes Venatici stopped him, saying, "Let's go inside the temple again; perhaps we can find some useful clues!"

Although Wu Xin has provided clues, they have just arrived and haven't even entered the scene yet, so there's no need to rush.

“Alright then!” Mike didn’t dare to object.

On the other side, Wuxin smiled and said to the old man, "Thank you for your help, old man. I'll send you to the Yellow Springs now!"

As he spoke, he separated two streams of corpse energy, directly opening a passage to Yomotsu Hirasaka in front of him.

"Follow the call of the underworld and keep walking forward, and you will be able to enter the underworld and embark on the path of reincarnation!" He instructed the old man again, and dispersed the accumulated corpse energy, completely releasing the old man from his restraints.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The old man nodded, then excitedly entered the dimensional portal.

"I'll accompany you into the temple again!" After closing the passage, Wuxin turned back and gestured to the two Saints.

Canes Venatici nodded, without refusing.

Then, led by Wuxin, the three entered the temple and saw the gruesome corpse of the priestess.

"Outrageous! Insolent! Absolutely despicable!!!"

The two Saints' anger flared up once again, especially the already impatient Ursa Major, whose eyes turned red, with bloodshot veins clearly visible in his eyeballs.

Wu Xin couldn't help but wonder if, if he provoked the other party any further, their eyes would explode with anger.

Then, the two suppressed their anger and carefully began to inspect the temple.

Unfortunately, just like with Wuxin before them, apart from the bodily fluids remaining on the corpse, they found no other valuable clues.

"I think we should go to the tavern and find those three accomplices first! With them there, we should be able to find out the identity of the fourth person!" Wu Xin suggested to the two of them.

"No rush, perhaps I can find that person directly!"

Canes Venatici shook his head, then calmly collected some of the killer's bodily fluids, confidently stating, "Once a scent is left, no one can escape the hound's pursuit!"

"Sniffing and tracking"

As he spoke, he unleashed his inner power and activated his ultimate technique.

A huge, phantom-like hunting dog appeared and sniffed carefully at the remaining clues on his fingertips.

Chapter 24 Arrest of Three People

However, Walter of Canes Venatici immediately changed his expression.

"How is that possible!"

Even after using his ultimate technique, he still couldn't detect any scent in the bodily fluids left by the killer.

Clearly, the other party was prepared, which is why they deliberately left such clues for them.

Guessing that the tracking wasn't going well, Wu Xin sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that the tavern is the only clue we have left!"

Walter's face was very grim. He nodded and said, "Let's go together!"

After making some inquiries, the three quickly found the tavern where their targets were located.

Unfortunately, only the tavern owner, Rolls, was inside; the other two were not.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Wu Xin and his two companions did not act rashly but chose to lie in wait in secret.

It wasn't until nightfall, past ten o'clock, when most of the tavern's customers had left, that two furtive figures entered the tavern through the back door, one after the other.

"We've confirmed that all three targets have arrived. Shall we make the arrests now?" Mike the Big Dipper asked impatiently.

"Let's wait and see if we can catch the hidden fourth person! I have a feeling it's a big fish!" Walter of Canis Major said very seriously.

"I agree that we should wait a little longer!"

Wu Xin echoed, "I've roughly figured out the strength of the first three. They're all only at the bronze level and are utterly vulnerable."

"However, we still don't know the details about that hidden fourth person."

"If we act rashly and provoke him to launch a sneak attack, we will be in a very passive position!"

"Or, if we scare him away, that would be troublesome too!"

“That’s right, we shouldn’t take action until we confirm the identity of the fourth person!” Canes Venatici emphasized again.

The two Silver-level experts were in agreement, and Ursa Major dared not object, so he could only patiently wait.

After waiting for nearly two more hours, until midnight, Eight Fingers and One Eyes were also completely drunk and ready to leave the tavern, but the hidden fourth person still hadn't appeared.

"It seems that guy won't be showing up today!" Wu Xin shook his head.

“In that case, let’s get started!” Walter of Canis Major made his decision.

"I'm going to deal with the tavern owner, Rolls!"

Wu Xin selected his target, and with a single leap, he flew through an open window on the second floor of the tavern.

As for the remaining two, let the two from the Hounds constellation handle them.

As Wuxin descended the stairs to the first floor, he immediately spotted Laus, the tavern owner, who was about to blow out the candles and go upstairs to rest.

Hearing his footsteps coming downstairs, Rolls turned around in surprise and tentatively asked, "Honorable guest, it's so late, do you still want to drink?"

He mistook Wuxin for a hotel guest who was going downstairs to find a drink.

"I'm sorry, I'm not here for a drink, Mr. Rolls!" Wu Xin said leisurely, finding a stool to sit down.

"Not drinking? Then what do you want to do, guest?" Rolls asked, somewhat puzzled.

For some reason, he felt that the young man in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar, as there did not seem to be such a guest staying at the hotel.

"I come from the Holy Land..."

Before Wu Xin could finish speaking, as soon as he mentioned the words 'Sanctuary,' Lao Dun's expression changed drastically, as if he had understood something. Without looking back, he rushed towards the door.

"Escape? Do you think you can escape?"

Wu Xin sneered and raised his right index finger.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

Two streams of silver energy were released from his fingertips, shooting towards Rolls like two agile silver snakes.

Poor Laus was only at the level of a low-level Bronze Saint. There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. He had only run a few steps when he was pierced through the chest from behind by the Sekishiki.

A semi-illusory soul was pulled out of Laus's body by Wuxin, while the soulless body fell straight to the ground, unable to move.

"you you……"

With just one move, his soul was separated from his body, and the soul form of Laws was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

By this time, the battle outside had ended, and Walter Canes Venatici and Mike Ursus led their two targets into the tavern and closed the door behind them.

However, as Mike the Great's rival, One-Eyed Zach was the most unlucky.

Enraged, Mike showed no mercy, breaking all four of Zack's limbs and dragging him in like a lump of mud.

Walter of Canis Major threw the heavily injured Six-Fingered Neil to the ground and said with a serious expression, "You wicked scoundrel who blasphemed the goddess, tell me who was the guy who defiled the priestess of the temple the night before last, and where he is now?"

"As long as you fulfill my wish, I promise I can give you a quick death and won't torture you!"

Although the Holy Land represents justice, it does not mean that it will not use torture.
