Just when the warriors were feeling desperate, a saint guardian came swooping in from out of the blue. As it turned out, the powerful forces in the Middle Land did not forget about the fact that devils existed and that these creatures had the ability to invade any continent anytime they desired.
"Just like what they all say, a saint guardian is available all the time whenever a devil does evil. The only time they won't be able to respond is when evil no longer roams the world," the Dragon Intent Grass said. "So, for now, we're safe."
"Dragon Intent Grass, where does the saint guardian come from? I haven't heard of such a creature from any ancient book or record. How could they be unrecorded?" Ricky inquired.
"First off, the strongest warriors in each of the four lands are merely middle spiritual emperors, or upper spiritual emperors at the most. For instance, we can all see how the devil race dispatched a demi-saint in this area. We can clearly see that he is so strong that he can slaughter a large number of warriors," explained the Dragon Intent Grass.
"This is where the saint guardian comes along. That's why the super forces in the Middle Land, which have once had spiritual potentates, secretly send a powerful saint to each of the other four lands to seek justice and protect them. These super forces take turns in providing such saints, with each of them serving for a term of about one thousand years.
The saints sent here are the saint guardians with the main task of guarding the citizens and other creatures against the devils.
Second, they also impede any strong saint in the Middle Land from going to the other four lands to act recklessly."
"Hmmm...I see!" Ricky nodded his head slightly. After hearing the Dragon Intent Grass' explanation, he sure had a newfound admiration towards the saint guardians and to the super forces that had dispatched them.
"In the four lands, the spiritual energy seems to be relatively thin. This greatly contributes to the limitation of the possibility of existence of uppe spiritual emperors. Despite this, there have been reports of many upper spiritual emperors in the area in the past countless years," the Dragon Intent Grass continued.
"But now, you might ask how come there is no upper spiritual emperor or demi-saint in the four lands. That's because once a warrior reaches this level, he or she would be required by the saint guardian to leave the land and go to the Middle Land instead.
This is how peace is maintained in all the four lands."
"Well, I think that this method is good and well thought of!" Ricky nodded as he gave a little smile.
Suddenly, a question popped to his mind.
"Tina, when Doris and you first came here, weren't you stopped by the saint guardian in the Eastern Land?" Ricky asked Tina curiously.
At this moment, he was already at ease, especially now that he knew that a demi-saint could not cause any trouble in the presence of a real saint.
"Ah, that one. We met the saint guardian, but Doris just explained her intention," Tina replied.
"But Dragon Intent Grass, you remember what happened to me in the Nether Manor in the Eastern Land. Why didn't the saint guardian in the Eastern Land show up? I am confused," Ricky clarified.
"It's not at all confusing. In fact, it's very simple. Although the members of the Nether Manor cultivate the evil spirit, they are still considered to be creatures on the continent. It's either the saint guardian didn't interfere in your conflict, or, the saint guardian still wanted to give the members of the Nether Manor some chances," the Dragon Intent Grass answered.
"I never expected that saint guardians exist. I think it was a good call that I surrendered to you in the first place. Otherwise, I would have been killed by the saint guardian long ago," the Evil Mandragora said.
"So, in short, everything within a land's jurisdiction will be watched by the saint guardian in the same land. Did I get it right?" Ricky asked again.
"I can't answer that one. Perhaps it depends on the mood of the saint guardian. If he wants to, then he would. After all, it only takes a few days for him to travel to every corner of a large land, and know everything that is happening within the land," the Dragon Intent Grass expounded.
"Impressive!
I never thought that saint guardians are real!" the demi-saint devil exclaimed in fear.
Trembling in anxiety and terror, all he wanted to do now was to run away.
"Crimson Flash!"
the demi-saint devil shouted. Soon after, his body directly exploded into countless blood drops and disappeared into thin air.
Meanwhile, the saint guardian witnessed this directly and said, "I didn't expect him to be a creature from the Crimson Devil tribe!"
On the other hand, the power activated by the saint guardian also quickly retreated from his body, and he no longer made another move.
