Master, are you saying that the pope is actually possessed by an Evil God? "
Pesce spoke out the speculation that everybody else was thinking but dared not say it out loud.
Even the Blood Knight, who was certain that there was something wrong with the pope, fell silent after hearing the shocking secret.
That was the pope, a spiritual leader in the eyes of countless believers, a god in the eyes of the Vatican's descendants, and an ultimate expert. Such a big shot had actually been possessed by an Evil God.
If word got out, it would be a scandal that had never happened in the past thousands of years. The pope of the Vatican was the emissary of the Lord in the mortal world. He was supposed to purify evil and be the brightest and most righteous existence.
"Heh, I finally understand. The higher the status, the darker the heart. Your pope is like a Daoist Master. "Li Peiyun sneered and expressed his disdain for the big shot as an independent cultivator.
The Blood Esquire turned his head to look at Li Peiyun and recalled the famous mythical character of China, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Li Peiyun was an arrogant and untamed fellow. His personality was too weak and easily manipulated. He was quite similar to Monkey Sun.
"Was he possessed, or did he fuse with an Evil God?"
Amidst the subtly quiet atmosphere, Li Xianyu suddenly asked.
Everybody looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he asked that. The pope had already fallen, so there was no difference between the two.
Old Green thought for a moment and shook his head. "I'm not sure. Is it important?"
Of course it was. It was too important!
Li Xianyu thought to himself and shook his head. "I'm just asking."
"I still don't understand." Nobody said anything after a while, so Leon asked, "What does this have to do with Pesce being turned into a fallen angel?"
Old Green's eyes widened. "You've been listening for a long time, and you're asking such a stupid question."
He looked like a furious teacher who slapped the blackboard and roared, "I've explained this question so many times. Why don't you understand it? Why don't you understand it?!"
"Pesce, answer him."
Pesce thought for a moment and said confidently, "The Evil God is very ambitious. He wants to expand his forces through me, conquer the European bloodline, and conquer the world."
Old Grimm looked at her in horror.
Pesce's heart skipped a beat. "Teacher, is there a problem?"
The latter waved his hand tiredly. "Donder, you speak."
The Blood Esquire's expression was solemn. "I've already told you that the evil cult needed a lot of primordial spirits as sacrifices to summon the Evil God. I suspect that guy is trying to summon his companions."
Everyone was astonished and thought to themselves that this wasn't good. One evil god was already so problematic. If more were summoned, then they wouldn't be able to play.
Old Grimm sighed faintly.
It sounded like the homeroom teacher sighing helplessly, "You are the worst batch I have ever taught."
"It's food." Li Xianyu said, "Evil Gods can absorb primordial spirits to replenish their strength."
Therefore, whether it was Pegasus or Hua Yang, they were both Fallen Angels that the Supreme Pontiff had secretly created in the past few years. Fallen Angels were pure spirit bodies, powerful, rare, and pure. They were the best tonic for the Supreme Pontiff, far better than the primordial spirits of the blood descendants.
However, Fallen Angels were too difficult to refine. After several decades, he had only successfully refined two Fallen Angels.
From the incident with Pegasus, it could be seen that the Supreme Pontiff had a strong obsession with Fallen Angels. Of course, it wasn't the obsession of a foodie towards delicacies. There had to be a reason why he needed Fallen Angels.
Fallen Angels, or in other words, powerful and pure primordial spirits, were beneficial to the Supreme Pontiff.
From the looks of it, Hua Yang's stepmother was in great danger. If the Supreme Pontiff dealt with the Blood Esquire and the others, he would definitely summon Hua Yang, the Fallen Angel.
First it was Great-grandmother, then it was Hua Yang. Dammit, my harem is the real troublemaker.
"What are you guys going to do next?" Li Peiyun asked.
In fact, he wanted to say that if they were going to fight the Supreme Pontiff to the death, then their fragile alliance would end here.
Pride was pride, but he wasn't an idiot. There was no way he would fight the Supreme Pontiff head on.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that an extreme realm expert could slap a top S-rank to death like crushing an ant. Even an ordinary half-step extreme realm expert was just a weak bug in front of an extreme realm expert.
Only the best of the half-step extreme realm experts, like the Blood Esquire, who could kill an ordinary half-step extreme realm expert with three punches, could compete with an extreme realm expert.
But they still wouldn't be an opponent for an extreme realm expert, because using that level of power consumed too much of their energy. Usually, they would be a real man for five seconds, and then they could light a cigarette. Meanwhile, an extreme realm expert could still continue to attack crazily.
Unless they could gather more than three peak half-step extreme realm experts, then they might be able to have a real battle of life and death with an extreme realm expert. But such experts were too rare, and they could be counted on one hand in the entire Europe.
"The Supreme Pontiff has to apologize." Li Xianyu looked at the Blood Esquire. "Right?"
The Blood Esquire was a bit embarrassed. He recalled their conversation by the lake. Saying it aloud in front of so many people made him seem like an idiot who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. So he said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to help me submit the lawyer's letter."
"Dragon Esquire, what right do you have to arrest me? When I was fighting for the Church, you were still an immature brat." The vice leader of the Temple Knights, Abernathy Hoffman, had his hands shackled, and his shoulders were held by two knights from the Commandment Knights. One of them was injecting a drug that inhibited cell activity into his neck. In just ten seconds, his legs would go weak, and he wouldn't be able to exert any strength.
"You're close friends with the Blood Esquire, Don Hilbert. This alone is enough reason to detain you. Please cooperate with the Commandment Knights' investigation."
On the other side, the Dragon Knight stood with his hands behind his back, his expression cold.
"I know, you want to use this opportunity to gang up on your own and monopolize power." Abernathy shouted, "I want to see the Supreme Pontiff, I want to see the Supreme Pontiff."
"As long as there's a sufficient reason, even the Supreme Pontiff has no right to interfere." The Dragon Esquire waved his hand. "Take him away!"
Abernathy's legs soon turned to jelly, and his screams weakened. Under the furious gazes of the Knights Templar, he was dragged away.
The Cardinal of the Cardinal Institute came over after hearing the news. Seeing Abernathy being taken away, he said worriedly, "Dragon Esquire, are you trying to lock up the entire Purgatory? In just a few days, you've captured hundreds of experts from the Church. If this goes on, the Church will be paralyzed. "
"The Church won't be paralyzed just because of the lack of a few traitors." The Dragon Esquire's tone was calm. "Archbishop, you're the one who reported him."
"Yes, but you've caused too much of a commotion, capturing so many people at once."
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Blood Esquire's henchmen are all over the major departments of the Church. I've received the Supreme Pontiff's orders to eliminate the degenerates."
Ever since he learned about the past from the Supreme Pontiff, the Dragon Esquire had led the Commandment Knights to arrest people. Any member of the Church who might be related to the Blood Esquire was arrested and locked up in the Purgatory.
After the sneak attack on the database, the Dragon Esquire realized that these degenerates were like ticking time bombs if left in the Church. They had to be eliminated. He would rather capture the wrong person than let them go.
Some were close friends of the Blood Esquire, while others were members on the list of suspects provided by the Supreme Pontiff.
Two-thirds of the Church's top-notch S-level experts had been captured. Many experts from the major departments had also been captured. Among them, the Temple Knights had it the worst. The Temple Knights were a group of knights directly led by the Blood Esquire, Don Hilbert. If there were degenerates, they would definitely be the most numerous.
In an instant, everyone in the Church felt insecure and cursed in private.
The Cardinal bade farewell to the Dragon Esquire and went all the way to the Supreme Pontiff's bedroom. He only entered after being summoned by the knights guarding outside.
The Supreme Pontiff was draped in a golden robe and sat on a large chair, facing the direction of the door.
The Cardinal clenched his right fist and pressed it against his chest. "Your Holiness, the Dragon Esquire has arrested many members of the Church recently and is becoming more and more unbridled. There are already complaints from the headquarters. "
The Supreme Pontiff's expression was indiscernible. "I already know."
The Cardinal bowed once again and took his leave.
Berlin, a six-star hotel.
In a lavishly decorated suite, the Condor Girl was lying on a spacious sofa, squinting at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. "What do we do? Real Madrid is about to arrive. Will she tear our bones apart?"
On the sofa opposite, the Guardian of the Right and Guardian of the Monkey looked at each other, a little terrified.
That's for sure. We've all lost her son.
After the banquet at Kashub's manor, Li Xianyu had disappeared without a trace. They lost contact with him. His phone was turned off when they called, and he was nowhere to be found. The three of them secretly investigated and pieced together the truth.
That night, the master of Kashub's family, Kurt, had also disappeared along with Li Xianyu. However, Kurt was sent back to the manor the next evening, while Li Xianyu was lost just like that.
The worse news was yet to come. After further investigation, the three of them found out that the one who kidnapped Li Xianyu and Kurt was the Blood Esquire, a traitor of the Vatican. He was half a step into the peak of Extreme Grade, an expert on the same level as the Emperor.
This was hopeless. At first, they could comfort themselves by saying that he was strong enough to protect himself. However, in the hands of the Blood Esquire, they were like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"It's been so long. What's done is done."
Sister Condor said that again. These few days, she had been nagging, "Aiya, could Li Xianyu be imprisoned and used as a prostitute?"
"He, he's a man. What's there to worry about?" The Guardian of the Right's tone was filled with uncertainty.
Guardian of the Monkey said quietly, "Men will only suffer more."
"Knock, knock, knock!"
As they were speaking, someone knocked on the door.
