Chapter 5: Sanctuary Interception
After Leilia left, Sean returned to his own training room.

At this moment, he already knew what the crisis of the Holy See was about, so he needed to make corresponding preparations. He saw the earth element around Sean surging, and suddenly, the whole person disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already ten meters away.

This is the eighth-level earth magic, the Earth Drilling Technique. It uses earth elements to fuse with one's own body and then drill into the ground. However, this magic is not very practical because it is slow. If one cannot control it well, one may be easily trapped deep underground. It also requires a lot of mental energy. Among earth magicians, those below the Sanctuary basically only know this magic, but it is rarely used.

However, Sean knew that this was the earth-walking technique among the six mysteries of the earth system.

During the past year or so, Sean's retreat has not only attempted to break through level 9, but also to try to comprehend this supreme mystery. The most basic way to get started is naturally to reverse decipher the magic passed down by the Lord God.

The source of gravity magic must be gravity space. The armor of the earth comes from the pulse of the earth. The drilling technique comes from the earth walking technique. There are also many basic magics that come from the mystery of the earth element. As for the remaining two mysteries of power and the power of life, Sean has not found the corresponding magic.

It was simply because the time was too short, or his soul was too weak, and he was simply unable to comprehend any of the mysteries. He could only rely on magic spells to practice continuously, thereby shortening the speed of casting magic and at the same time increasing his strength as much as possible.

Three months later, Sean came out again. Although he still did not break through to level 9, his mental strength had been improved during these three months, and his application of magic had reached a new level. At the same time, under the training in the gravity space, his warrior level had reached the peak of level 8.

"Hello, Mr. Sean." On the roadside, many neighbors were interacting politely.

"Hello." Sean replied politely. Having lived in Shengyue City for his entire life, he naturally knew many people and had good relationships with them.

It is hard to imagine whether this city would be destroyed if a god-level war really broke out.

suddenly.

"Boom boom." The ground of the entire city suddenly shook, and the ground undulated like waves. In the blink of an eye, a large number of buildings collapsed instantly, and countless people were crushed under the rubble of the buildings.

"It's an earthquake!" Many people who were in open areas and had not been affected by the first wave of damage immediately shouted and prepared to rescue people.

"This is not an earthquake." Sean's face changed. There are indeed earthquakes in this world, but Shengyue City is the core of the Holy See of Light. There is a huge magic circle here to avoid natural disasters. Even if a major earthquake really breaks out nearby, it can filter out a lot of damage. Moreover, he seems to feel that the source of energy comes from the air.

Just as he expected, the second and third waves of "earthquakes" soon came, and all the houses around Sean collapsed. Fortunately, there were many people here at level four or five, and such warriors were not afraid of being crushed by the stones of houses. However, there were still many ordinary people or fragile magicians who suffered serious injuries.

Sean hurried all the way to his home. There were too many injured people around him and he couldn't save them. Earth magic couldn't save people. All he could do was to get back to his home as soon as possible.

The place where Sean lives has a separate protective magic circle, which has not collapsed in the aftermath of each incident. At this moment, many of his subordinates have been scared out of their wits. They don’t know what’s going on, but they obviously know that something is wrong.

"You guys go to my secret room, you should be able to hide there," Sean said.

"Yes, Mr. Sean." After several men bowed, they hurriedly trotted in.

Sean stood at the door of his house. After waiting for a while, Leilia arrived. Sean asked, "Are the people from the Dark Church here?"

"Yes, father asked us to leave Shengyue City immediately." Leilia said anxiously, "It's not just the Dark Church that came this time. The Natural Church, the Water God Church, and the Wind God Church are all here. They have joined forces. Now all the masters of the Church are just maintaining the magic circle, but they may not be able to hold on for long." "No wonder they attacked so quickly, it turns out they have joined forces." Sean said with a frown.

During this period, through Leilia, he also learned that there were at least 8 god-level masters in the Church of Light, while there were only 3 in the Church of Darkness, and the other churches basically had only one or two. Under normal circumstances, the other churches combined were no match for the Church of Light, and there were also gaps among them. Therefore, the Church of Light was basically the only dominant force on the Zhongyuan Continent.

But a middle-level god appeared in the Dark Church, and it might not be a problem for them to fight eight people alone. However, the Light Church must have the foundation of countless years. Logically speaking, the middle-level god of the Dark Church should have made sufficient preparations before coming here, but if he has joined forces with other churches, then there is naturally no need to wait any longer.

"The Holy See had already prepared a retreat tunnel for us, and was originally planning to send us out earlier, but we didn't expect Shengyue City to be suddenly attacked." Leilia said, "Let's not talk about it for now, let's go."

"Okay, let's go." Sean did not hesitate. He had already put the things that should have been prepared in the space ring, and in the secret room, he also left a lot of basic living supplies. As long as he was not directly hit by masters above the Saint Realm, no matter what the result of this God-level battle was, he could hold on until then. He had no way of controlling what would happen to these people in the future, and he had done what he could.

The two of them quickly disappeared on the street, and soon they arrived at a slum. At this moment, several level 9 masters were maintaining order.

"I didn't expect the tunnel exit to be built here." Sean said in surprise.

"It can be concealed only because it is unexpected. The city outside has been surrounded by a large army. This tunnel is more than 1000 miles long. It was dug by several earth-type holy domain magicians working together. It was completed in a few months and does not affect the buildings above." said Leilia.

"Amazing." Although Sean is also an earth magician, digging a cave is not a problem for him, but such a spacious cave? It is really hard to imagine. If there was such a capability on the original earth, the shield machine would have been useless long ago.

After verifying their identities, Sean, Leilia, and many other people walked out along the tunnel. Obviously, it was not possible that only talented young men could walk out through here. Some princes, nobles, or relatives at the sanctuary level could also retreat through here, but this was normal.

A thousand miles is not very far. It took only half a day to reach a place far away in Shengyue City. As soon as he came out, Sean's face solemnly felt the huge fluctuation of elemental energy in the distance. The power was so great that it frightened him.

"That should be the battle between god-level masters." Leilia's face was also heavy. His father might be among them. If he encountered a Sanctuary master, he would not be worried. His father was the top Sanctuary master and was also known as one of the most likely candidates to break through to the god level. But if he encountered a god-level master, it would be troublesome.

His father also told him that the gap between the early stage of the Holy Domain and the ninth level was not very big, and it was possible to make a comeback by relying on numbers or even sneak attacks, but the gap between the God level and the peak of the Holy Domain was like heaven and earth.

"Let's go first. We shouldn't stay here for long." After a while, Sean said that the safety of this tunnel was very questionable. If the people of the Dark Church were smart, they would check it out, but the prerequisite was that there were enough masters, and they would definitely have to wait until they defeated the masters of the Light Church.

"Okay." Although Leilia was still worried, he also knew that if he stayed here, he might become a burden.

"It's too late to leave now. Hahaha, I didn't expect that I actually found the exit of an underground tunnel." Suddenly, bursts of laughter came from all directions.

Sean's face changed drastically. He saw several masters wearing the clothes of the Dark Church instantly surrounded the dozens of people who had just come out. What he was concerned about was not the number of people around him, but the person hanging in the sky.

There was no fluctuation of wind magic. This person was a master of the Holy Realm.
