CHAPTER 953 BARNES ARRIVED

"Didn't we gather here to discuss how to fight the fiend? Is this the right time to talk about punishment?"

someone complained.

"You are right. It's not the time to debate over who is at fault. Moreover, even if you want to blame the

four greatest holy warriors, would you dare to punish them?"

"They made a grave mistake! Don't forget that the Upper Spiritual World has law enforcers too!" a

Governor argued as he stood.

"What are we discussing?" Suddenly, the room filled with the powerful aura of a half-step emperor.

"Humph! What's the purpose of this meeting?"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this time, four powerful figures appeared in the center of the hall.

"What?"

"Sir."

"Humph!"

The eighteen people, who had gathered in the hall earlier, exhibited different reactions. While some

were happy, a few were dissatisfied with the arrival of the four greatest holy warriors.

When the four greatest holy warriors saw their expressions, they were displeased. However, they

chose not to remark what passed in their minds.

"Everyone here is the backbone of the human race. The reason why we are here is to discuss how to This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

deal with the fiend that has escaped. I hope that we can work together to defend and ensure the safety

of the human race," one of the four greatest holy warriors said.

"Sir!" A Governor stood and said unhappily, "You are aware of the power of the fiend better than me.

His power is close to that of an emperor. Even a top-level six-tribulation senior holy warrior may not be

able to battle him. We are like ants in front of the fiend! How can we defeat him? It might be in

everyone's best interest if you deal with him. Besides, the four of you are already six-tribulation senior

holy warriors. You also have the Heavenly Exterminating Array left by the witcher ancestor and Hiram

the Great to help you."

As he was terrified of facing the fiend, the Governor pushed the responsibility to the four warriors.

"Ronald, you are wrong. The four greatest holy warriors can contend with the fiend with the powerful

array. If the eighteen of us help them, we may stand a better chance of suppressing him. Wouldn't it be

better if everyone contributes?" someone suggested.

"Are you kidding me? If they are so powerful, why did they let two body parts of the fiend flee to our

cities? Why did they let the fiend threaten our safety? Perhaps someone made a deal with the fiend,

and deliberately released his body parts," a Governor surmised.

"How dare you? You have gone too far by accusing the four greatest holy warriors of such treachery!

Do you want to die?" another Governor argued.

"What? Are you looking for a fight?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As tempers mounted and accusations were thrown around, each of the eighteen Governors released

their auras. Soon, the hall began to tremble, and it appeared as though they were on the verge of war.

The faces of the four greatest holy warriors darkened as they silently watched the commotion.

Buzz.

The four greatest holy warriors released their powerful auras, and the eighteen half-step emperor auras

were instantly suppressed.

Some continued to resist the four auras. Eventually, they were subdued by such intense pressure that

they were forced to kneel and bow their heads.

"We can't count on you. You are all selfish scumbag!"

one of the four greatest holy warriors roared. Without another word, the four greatest holy warriors

disappeared from the hall.

"Humph! When I survive my sixth tribulation, I will find you and fight you first!" a Governor shouted.

"Sizz!"

Just then, someone sneered. Everyone in the hall turned in the direction of the sound.

A figure stepped out of the darkness. In a flash, its ferocious aura filled the great hall.

The Governors' eyes widened with shock. They were so terrified that their hair stood on end.

"Who are you?"

Fear coursed through them as they all felt the shadow's strong power.

"Don't get excited. I'm only here to help you solve your problem."

The shadow continued to walk forward as he spoke. As soon as he stepped into the light, they saw that

the shadow was a monkey with black hair and sharp teeth.

"Who the hell are you?"

The Governors didn't recognize that he was Barnes.

Barnes sneered but did not answer. He swung the golden stick up on his shoulder and roared.

The intensity of his roar shook the hall to such an extent that it was on the verge of collapsing. Even the

Governors felt dizzy.

"You! You are Barnes the Holy? Aren't you?"

The Governors had heard that the one who had helped the fiend escape was Barnes the Holy, a

powerful warrior millions of years ago.

Now that they could sense his power, the Governors could guess that he was Barnes.

"Yes. It's me." Barnes smiled wryly. Everyone shuddered as his grin was full of darkness.

"Ah!"

They stepped back.

"You have committed such a huge sin! How dare you come to the eighteen cities?" somebody shouted.

"Barnes, we respect you since you are so much older than us. For now, we will let you go. If you

choose to stay, we will not be polite to you," someone said even though his heart trembled with fear.

It didn't matter how powerful or intense the aura released by Barnes. Just the mere mention of his

name was enough to frighten everyone.

"It is my humble opinion that you are too weak. I didn't come here to make trouble for you, but to ask

you to work with me to kill the fiend. I seek the opportunity to make amends. Do you agree?" Barnes

said sincerely.

The Governors glanced at each other in dismay.

"You should find the four greatest holy warriors. You can suppress the fiend more easily with their help.

Why did you come to us?" someone asked.

"Alas. I made a few minor mistakes, and those four guys were stubborn enough to chase me. I don't

believe they have forgiven me just yet. So, if I seek them, a fierce battle will break out between us. I

came to you with the hope that you will help me," Barnes said with a sigh.

Hearing this, everyone was moved. It would be an honor to work with Barnes the Holy! Such an

opportunity shouldn't be wasted!

"Ha-ha, sir, the four greatest holy warriors are stubborn people indeed. It is an honor to work with you.

You can count on me, sir!"

Some of the Governors were displeased with the four greatest holy warriors. Now, they had the chance

to follow Barnes the Holy, and make a significant contribution. This was naturally the best choice.

"Will you guys do me a favor?" Barnes cupped his hands and looked at the crowd sincerely.

As some of the Governors had begun to express their support for Barnes, the rest didn't want to be

excluded. So, they also agreed.

"Well, since you are willing to help me, we should begin right now. Only after we kill that fiend can we

vent our hatred. Let's move!" Barnes shouted. In the blink of an eye, fury replaced the sincerity and

humbleness he had been projecting.

The other Governors were motivated by his fighting spirit and echoed that they were going to kill the

fiend.

"Sir, since you asked us to help you, would you happen to know the whereabouts of the fiend?" a

Governor questioned.

"Of course, I know. Everyone, gather your strongest weapon and follow me."

Eager, the Governors soared into the sky. They followed Barnes to the desolate area of the eighteen

cities.

A few short moments after their departure, the four greatest holy warriors returned to the hall. Each of

their expressions was grim when they saw that the hall was empty.

"Eden, you said that you sensed the fiend's aura. Are you sure?" another warrior asked with a frown.

"Yes, I'm certain. He was in the hall a short while ago," Eden replied. He was also known as the Tiger

Holy Warrior.

"This is not good."

In a flash, the four greatest holy warriors flew away.
