Cursed Immortality

Chapter 1041: Not Easy to Mess With!

In the very moment the Temple finally vanished from the sky, leaving only faint ripples of residual fiery essence...a single figure appeared right where the Temple of the Blazing Flame was located a moment ago.

A tall, skeletal figure clad in a long black windbreaker and his head covered in a long hood, only the flickering white-golden light could see within the abyssal-like hood...it was Jacob!

Although no one recognized him, the timing spoke louder than words. The Temple of the Blazing Flame suddenly vanished, and Jacob appeared out of nowhere. The Knight King was bewildered at first, but when he noticed Jacob’s lone figure, his face turned livid, his killing intent bursting out like a sea tide.

”How did you get here, and where is the treasure!?” He roared, his voice crackling with holy light as he bolted towards Jacob like a light beam.

Knight King was followed by hundreds of armored paladins, priests, and legendary lords as they braced themselves. They were all ready to act.

Moreover, those who had witnessed this scene also couldn’t stay in that breathless moment, everyone realized the impossible truth. Someone had stolen the entire Temple of the Blazing Flames right under the nose of the Cardinal Spirit Temple!

Furthermore, the most suspicious person stood alone before them all as if he weren’t afraid of anyone. This was a blunt taunt to the prestige of the Cardinal Spirit Temple, not to mention that the Temple of the Blazing Flame was enough to arouse everyone’s greed. No one was willing to give up on it.

Jacob was already locked on the Knight King, and those who followed him were releasing their hostile aura.

’A Faery Human, someone from the Cardinal Spirit Temple?’

Jacob easily guessed this person’s identity, and he was slightly surprised because he was expecting the Star Pirates here, but not the Faery Humans.

Furthermore, when he noticed the huge barrier around the vicinity of the Temple of the Blazing Flame, realization dawned on Jacob.

’How long was I inside the Temple of the Blazing Flame? How were they able to arrange this huge formation and gather so many people here in such a short amount of time? The time difference must be chaotic inside.

’Nonetheless, this is all set up by the Cardinal Spirit Temple because the Star Pirates can’t move so many resources right under the Temple’s nose. And here I was expecting the Champion King to take the bait...or he might’ve had already...’

Jacob’s eyes flickered coldly as he looked at the Knight King, as bright silver holy light was swirling around his body, and he couldn’t help but snicker, ’I have no time to play with idiots...’

The next moment, Jacob’s figure turned blurry before he completely vanished from his spot. The Knight King’s expression warped when he saw this, and even his soul sense had lost all traces of Jacob.

A hint of disbelief flashed past Knight King’s eyes before his face went pale, ”He’s running away! Quickly informed the temple and sealed this area! Go, hurry!” His hysterical voice reverberated throughout the vicinity.

Not just the Knight King but those who were secretly going to take action were also flabbergasted, and many soul senses suddenly appeared out of nowhere as they all desperately searched for the ’thief’.

But just like the Knight King, they found nothing; it was like Jacob was a ghost. Not even his traces of soul sense were left at the scene, which should’ve been impossible.

However, most of them didn’t know that a Quasi-Myth’s soul force couldn’t be sensed with ordinary treasures, or even a tier-3 Legendary King’s soul sense can’t lock on such an existence.

If Jacob didn’t want to draw any unwanted attention, and he was afraid of the Hunter’s presence, he could’ve easily created a huge bloodbath here and captured a few ’specimens’ from this lot.

But Jacob had already gotten more than what he wanted, and right now, he wanted to absorb the Yang Flame more than killing these reckless fools of the Cardinal Spirit Temple. So, he left without a word.

As the scene turned hectic, all of a sudden, the huge barrier around the vicinity of the lava sea suddenly shattered like glass.

”Boom!”

The Knight King’s heart trembled when he heard that terrifying explosive sound, and cold sweat gathered on his temple. ’A Legendary King Rank formation barrier was destroyed just like that? Could it be the same person!? Don’t tell me it was a Q-qu...quasi...’
