Descending the steps continuously, a light soon appeared below.
A moss-covered stone wall appeared ahead, with a pointed arch in the middle. Two Holy Temple Knights in armor stood beside it.
"Priest Laura."
The Holy Temple Knights bowed respectfully—Laura's status was evidently high.
Laura merely nodded and led Man Xiu inside.
Inside was a vast underground space, towering stone pillars supported the dome, the floor paved with stone bricks, and walls carved with intricate religious murals.
Man Xiu observed everything around, realizing this must be an ancient temple ruin.
"Priest Laura, you're just in time."
A steward in a gray robe approached, saying, "There's a meeting in the inner hall discussing how to retaliate against Duke Luo De."
"Very well."
Laura instructed the steward, "These three are my steward followers and this is Man Xiu, a devoted follower of our Lord. You should settle them well."
"Yes."
The steward nodded respectfully, "Four of you, please come with me."
