Chapter 136: The Yellow Dress Church is Here Again! How Did They Locate Huang Yiyi?
"Lin... Tian... Ming... I remember, new friend!"
Huang Yiyi could no longer recall when she last made a friend, but she was very happy that Lin Tianming, who was not afraid of her eerie black mist, was willing to be friends with her.
Just like her youthful face that never changed with time, her mind remained as it was when she was a young girl.
Lin Tianming admired himself a little for being able to become friends with this girl who was suspected to be a strange god.
"Lin Tianming... I finished the ice cream again, I... I want more!"
Hearing Huang Yiyi's request for more ice cream, Lin Tianming immediately fulfilled it.
"No problem, since we are friends, I will call you by your nickname, Yiyi. You can just call me Tianming. Let's go, Yiyi, I'll take you to the shop we went to earlier to buy more ice cream!"
"Okay, Tianming!"
Perhaps because she hadn't made friends for a long time, Huang Yiyi was very close to Lin Tianming, who was willing to be friends with her.
After spending some more time with the successfully appeased Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming received a message from Hua Yufei saying she was almost there.
Confirming that Hua Yufei was close, Lin Tianming immediately replied that he would go to the agreed location to wait for her.
After replying to Hua Yufei's message, Lin Tianming glanced at Huang Yiyi, who was eating ice cream non-stop, and ordered one last different flavored ice cream for her.
"Yiyi, we should go now, let's eat while walking!"
"Okay!"
Huang Yiyi didn't think much and followed Lin Tianming, who had won her over with ice cream.
Lin Tianming chose a secluded street with few people for his meeting point with Hua Yufei.
This way, even if Huang Yiyi decided to run away, her emotional outburst and the release of black mist wouldn't harm innocent people in a short time.
If she transformed into a Holy Golden Butterfly and escaped, the black mist she released would dissipate along with her.
However, on the way to meet Hua Yufei, Lin Tianming sensed that they were being followed.
He pretended not to notice anything and carefully sensed the surrounding presence.
Soon, Lin Tianming discovered five very eerie and sinister presences.
These were not the demonic auras of demons, but the auras of awakened beings, yet so strange, which reminded Lin Tianming of the two Yellow Dress Church members from last night.
These five people were most likely members of the Yellow Dress Church!
As Lin Tianming and Huang Yiyi gradually moved away from the crowd, the five Yellow Dress Church members grew restless.
Lin Tianming couldn't sense their exact levels, which meant their levels were far beyond what he could detect.
Unsurprisingly, these five should be similar in level to the two Yellow Dress Church members from last night.
He had managed to capture those two so easily last night because he took advantage of them being weakened by Huang Yiyi's eerie black mist.
In a direct confrontation, his conventional methods would have been useless against those two level 75 Yellow Dress Church members.
Now, with a distance to cover before reaching the meeting point with Hua Yufei, and Hua Yufei expected to arrive later than them, Lin Tianming was not too worried if he could hold out until Hua Yufei arrived.
But what if he couldn't?
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming, who only had a single-target super forbidden spell, narrowed his eyes slightly.
God's Hand - Copy!
Silently activating the copying ability of God's Hand, Lin Tianming pretended not to notice anything while secretly observing the skills of the five Yellow Dress Church members, trying to find the key skills that could help him break through this situation in the shortest time.
At this moment, the copying and plundering abilities of God's Hand seemed more reliable than plundering, as copying could enhance the power of skills below the super forbidden spell level.
These five individuals were respectively awakened beings with fire, wood, earth, and dark elemental abilities.
Two of them had fire elemental abilities, and the other three each had different elements.
This was Lin Tianming's first encounter with a dark elemental awakened being.
He didn't count earth elemental abilities, as he had previously encountered Meng Xiyue, who possessed the earth elemental divine beast, the Wild Rift Tiger.
After carefully studying the skills of these five people, Lin Tianming cautiously chose three skills to copy.
Having copied the skills, he continued to move towards the destination with fewer people without showing any signs of suspicion.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianming was pondering another question.
How did the Yellow Dress Church members track down Huang Yiyi so quickly after losing her trail?
It couldn't be a coincidence like his encounter, right?
Lin Tianming strongly suspected they had a special means of tracking Huang Yiyi.
Last night, Hua Yufei used her abilities to make the two Yellow Dress Church members reveal all the information they knew, but they didn't disclose any tracking methods or the Yellow Dress Church's headquarters.
This indicated that those two were not truly core members of the Yellow Dress Church.
Level 75 was already a high level, yet they hadn't accessed the core. This suggested that the Yellow Dress Church was far more complex than he had imagined.
When Lin Tianming and Huang Yiyi finally entered the secluded street with no people around, the five Yellow Dress Church members, who had been restless, couldn't wait any longer and blocked their way.
Suddenly stopped, Huang Yiyi, who was eating ice cream, was frightened.
"Please come back with us. Your devout followers need your power!"
One of them bowed respectfully and revealed a creepy smile.
Huang Yiyi suppressed her fear and refused to go with them.
"I... I don't know you... You... don't come after me again!"
"Please don't be afraid, our lord. We are your most devout followers, the least likely to harm you. You don't remember anything now because you're not yet accustomed to this human form. If you come back with us, we will help you recall how great you are!"
As the leader spoke, he revealed a terrifying crazed look, and his body intermittently exuded demonic aura similar to that of demons.
The other four also showed a nearly pathological expression when the leader mentioned Huang Yiyi's identity, their bodies continuously emitting strands of demonic aura.
But Lin Tianming was sure they were not demon-possessed people.
Perhaps this was the posture that awakened beings who believed in strange gods should have?
Last night, before he knocked out the two Yellow Dress Church members, they hadn't released the strange eerie aura, suggesting that they also had hidden demonic aura.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming became even more vigilant towards these five people.
Seeing the members of the Yellow Dress Church showing crazed expressions, each exuding terrifying demonic aura, Huang Yiyi was reminded of disturbing memories.
Anxiety spread, and eerie aura more terrifying than demonic aura began to seep from around Huang Yiyi.
The unfinished ice cream in her hand fell to the ground as her emotions started to collapse: "I'm not a monster... I'm not... I'm not..."
Noticing Huang Yiyi's emotional change, to prevent her from disappearing, Lin Tianming immediately grasped her arm tightly.
"Yiyi, I will protect you. They can't take you away! Calm down, don't let the black mist spread and hurt innocent people. You are not a monster; I know you don't want to hurt anyone!"
Under Lin Tianming's comforting words, Huang Yiyi's eyes gradually regained clarity, and the eerie black mist around her dissipated again.
After calming Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming looked coldly at the five Yellow Dress Church members.
"Leave now, and I'll pretend I didn't see you this time. Otherwise, it will be too late later!"
Facing Lin Tianming's warning, the five Yellow Dress Church members all burst into mocking laughter, not taking Lin Tianming seriously at all.
"Foolish boy, you have no idea who you're dealing with. Today, I'll show you how miserable it is to go against my Yellow Dress Church!"
As he spoke, the leader of the Yellow Dress Church members released a ghostly shadow attack towards Lin Tianming.
