In Blount's space ring, the Book of Light and the scattered gold coins naturally didn't catch Han Shuo's eye. The quality of the few knight's weapons was obviously much lower than the one Blount was wielding. Only two magic scrolls were of interest. One was a space magic scroll for escaping, while the other was an earth magic scroll that resembled an earth armor. Both were life-saving items.
Unfortunately, sacred knight Blount was unable to retaliate in his battle with Han Shuo after suffering a series of attacks from Han Shuo. Han Shuo, who had surrounded Blount and bombarded him in pain, didn't give Blount any chance to activate the magic scrolls. He only let go when all the bones in Blount's body were shattered.
The two magic scrolls naturally fell into Han Shuo's hands. Although they were precious, they weren't too rare. It was the contents of the remaining thin yellow papers that caused Han Shuo's expression to change greatly.
As the most influential religious organization on the continent, the Church of Light valued two things the most. The first was the increasing number of people's devout faith in the God Of Light. A believer with a pure soul would selflessly offer sacrifice to the God Of Light. From this document, Han Shuo knew that the offering of a pure soul to the God Of Light would allow the sacrificer to obtain more of the God Of Light's divine power.

From this document, Han Shuo knew that the offering of a pure soul to the God Of Light would allow the sacrificer to obtain more of the God Of Light's divine power.
However, there were some pure soul believers who weren't followers of the Church of Light. Even if they were, they would suddenly come to their senses when offering their soul meant death. They might not be willing to give up everything and hand over their soul. At that time, the Church of Light would use some coercive methods.
The proportion of people with incomparably pure souls was extremely low among humans. The reason why sacred knight Blount was able to completely recover from his injuries in the past three years, and his strength had skyrocketed by a large margin, was because he had sacrificed the souls of 87 people with pure souls.
These eighty-seven people with pure souls were secretly captured by the Church of Light using various methods and underhanded methods from various countries. The thin yellow paper was sacred knight Blount's application to the Church of Light to hold a sacrificial ceremony. It was signed by a group of high-ranking members of the Church of Light, including the current Pope.
"No wonder, no wonder Blount could attain such formidable strength so quickly! It seems that the Church of Light isn't any better than the Calamity Church. I'm afraid that under all kinds of high-sounding propaganda, the dirty things they've done in the dark aren't any less than the Calamity Church, "Han Shuo muttered to himself as he looked at the document in his hand.
Blount, whose strength had greatly improved, must have believed that no one could kill him. That was why he had left these documents in his space ring. Who would have thought that they would fall into Han Shuo's hands? Han Shuo understood what it would mean if this document with the signatures of more than half of the high-ranking members of the Church of Light were to be exposed.
While he was apprehensive about the Church of Light's peculiar method of obtaining divine energy for its followers, Han Shuo also felt extremely refreshed from having something to blackmail.
"Heh heh, I think the Calamity Church would be very interested in letting everyone know about these documents with the signatures of the Pope and other high-ranking members of the Church of Light!" Han Shuo sneered as he muttered to himself.
"Master, the remaining members of the Church of Light are all dead!" Elizabeth's face was full of excitement. The five cyclones in her body were revolving at high speed, filling her shriveled and aged body with strands of energy.
Han Shuo carefully put away the thin yellow papers in his hand. Only then did he turn his attention to his surroundings. Just as Elizabeth had said, this group of followers of the Church of Light without a single light grand magus had all perished under the attack of the large number of undead creatures.
Han Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly. His consciousness circled around Elizabeth's body, and he roughly determined that the divine energy she had absorbed could increase her strength by about two times. However, even though Elizabeth had absorbed sacred knight Blount's divine energy, she was still far from reaching Blount's strength after undergoing transformation.
On one hand, it was because Blount's strength did not entirely depend on the divine energy in his body. His fighting aura still occupied the most important position. Even if Elizabeth had absorbed all of the divine energy, she naturally would not be able to reach Blount's strength. On the other hand, after transformation, Elizabeth could only use a portion of the divine energy.
After all, Elizabeth was not a follower of the Church of Light. She could not use divine energy at all. This was similar to how Han Shuo needed to thoroughly remove the impurities after absorbing a huge amount of killing intent. What she could truly use would always be the cleanest small portion.
After absorbing all of the divine energy, Elizabeth's strength would roughly reach the level of a sacred swordmaster. To the current Han Shuo, without the control of the demonic blood in her body, she would not pose any threat. Therefore, Han Shuo took a deep look at Elizabeth and nodded, saying, "Very good, you have done well. Oh, right, you have divine energy in your body. Do you need to find a quiet place to digest it?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master. My body will slowly transform this energy. I don't need to deliberately digest it," Elizabeth immediately replied.
Han Shuo nodded. Han Shuo continued speaking, but cast his gaze in another direction.
After a while, a group of Dark Mantle members led by Cecilia and Carré quickly walked over. At this moment, the undead creatures Han Shuo had summoned had completely disappeared. Only a few dozen corpses of the Church of Light remained around Han Shuo and Elizabeth.
These followers of the Church of Light had died miserably. Sacred knight Blount's head had been crushed by Han Shuo's foot, and his body had turned into a pile of rotten flesh. Those followers who had been gnawed on by the undead creatures had died without an intact corpse. It was a ghastly sight to behold. The thick smell of blood lingered in the air.
When Cecilia and the others arrived, they only needed to glance at the tragic scene around them to feel their stomachs churning. Fortunately, these Dark Mantle members could be considered to be strong-willed people. They did not do anything improper in front of Han Shuo.
"Brian, what's going on?" Cecilia frowned. She carefully avoided the bloodstains on the ground and walked to Han Shuo's side to ask.
"They are the reason I came here this time. Hmm, Blount is dead. It looks like my matter has been resolved!" Han Shuo said with a smile. He raised his head to look at the sky, thinking that it was time to look for Wolf and pass him some interesting things.
As an evil organization whose influence covered the entire continent, the Calamity Church could not have done such a thing more appropriately. Moreover, they were mortal enemies with the Church of Light. They would not let go of any opportunity to strike the Church of Light. The document in Han Shuo's hand contained the personal signatures of the highest leaders of the Church of Light, including the Pope. Once it was exposed by the Calamity Church, Han Shuo could not wait to see how much of a negative impact it would have on the Church of Light's positive image.
"Sacred knight Blount is dead?" Cecilia's small mouth was wide open. She stared blankly at Han Shuo, obviously unable to react.
"Yes, he's under my feet. That headless corpse is him!" Han Shuo said to Cecilia in a relaxed manner as he pointed at Blount, whose blood was still warm and in an unsightly state.
Cecilia's expression was lifeless. She stood there and stared blankly. She was simply speechless.
"Lord Brian, what, what's the matter with this old woman?" Carré, who was almost killed by Elizabeth, pointed at Elizabeth who was standing respectfully behind Han Shuo and asked.
"Oh, I've already taught her a lesson. She's my slave from now on!" Han Shuo replied casually. After a pause, Han Shuo then said to Cecilia, "If there's nothing else, let's part ways here!"
Han Shuo had no interest in the anomalies in the depths of Tarrag Canyon.
"This … that …" Cecilia saw that Han Shuo was about to leave and was momentarily at a loss for words. She wanted to urge him to stay, but couldn't find an excuse.
"Rumble …" An explosion, like the collapse of a mountain, suddenly sounded from the depths of Tarrag Canyon. Everything within a radius of ten miles trembled as though there was an earthquake.
Han Shuo, who was about to leave, suddenly frowned. He suddenly noticed large groups of magical beasts from Tarrag Canyon running for their lives towards the outside of the canyon. Among these magical beasts, there were even a few powerful super ranked magical beasts.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Cecilia's beautiful face changed greatly. She looked in the direction of the sound in shock and immediately cried out in alarm.
"It's coming from the depths of Tarrag Canyon. Something must have happened inside," Carré hastily exclaimed.
"Let's go and take a look!" Han Shuo's curiosity was also piqued. He didn't continue to clamor to leave, and said to Cecilia.
"Thank you!" Cecilia's heart was at ease when she heard Han Shuo's words, and she hastily expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome!" Han Shuo replied casually. He turned to look at Elizabeth and instructed, "Follow me!"
"Understood, Master!" Elizabeth replied respectfully.
