"Dora, did you say Xu Fan is truly that terrifying? Did you personally see that even the one from the Dark Council is no match for Xu Fan?" The Pope's expression was complex, making it hard to discern his inner thoughts.
Dora sighed, having to repeat what she had already said, "Pope, indeed I saw it with my own eyes. The one from the Dark Council was completely no match for Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu's background is sky-high! Not only does he know the previous generation, but he also doesn't even regard the Dark Council!"
"Today, I fear our Church of Light will face calamity!"
Upon hearing Dora's words, the Pope could not help but beco angry, wishing he could tear Dora to pieces. If you hadn't brought Xu Fan here, there would be none of these issues!
However, the Pope still had to count on Dora to appease Xu Fan's mood. At this point, he showed no dissatisfaction towards Dora and simply sighed lightly, "It seems Xu Fan has ridden his great luck and is destined to rise high from now on!"
Not just rise high, but skyrocket!
Ordinary cultivators struggle, taking one step at a ti, cultivating for decades or even centuries. Those with limited talent still fail to enter the Mysterious Light. Xu Fan, not yet twenty years old, seized a great opportunity to skyrocket. His cultivation reached a terrifying realm, and his background is so deep that even dragon-like forces like the Dark Council cannot be bothered.
Compare goods and you'll discard them, compare people and you'll perish, precisely so!
Thinking of his previous judgnt of Xu Fan, the Pope couldn't help but blush. Xu Fan has such terrifying strength and such a sky-high background; why would he need to depend on the Dark Council? And why would he need to plot against the Church of Light?
If he intended to obliterate the Church of Light, Xu Fan would only need to utter one word. Even if the forces behind Xu Fan do not act, countless forces on Earth would swarm to drown the Church of Light!
As the Pope of the Church of Light, he was too aware of the terror of the Dark Council! Knowing the terror of the Dark Council, Xu Fan, who does not even consider the Dark Council, is naturally even more terrifying! That's related to the contest of the previous generation! A re Pope, who seems glamorous on Earth, is nothing in the eyes of the previous generation!
"Pope, shall we... go and have a look?" Dora's voice carried so respect but more bla and weariness.
Dora struggled and fought hard within the Dark Council, surviving with great difficulty, and brought back a trendous opportunity, only for it to be stirred into this ss by those seated behind.
The Pope wished to tear Dora apart, and Dora equally wished to hang the Pope and slap him several tis!
But both sides could only think of it; neither truly expressed their sinister inner thoughts.
"Ahem." The Pope feigned authority and coughed lightly, seeing Dora's expression of agony, eventually dispelling any notion of maintaining his authority and laughed as he spoke to Dora, "Then let's go and take a look. If sothing unpleasant has indeed occurred, I hope the Archbishop can rember the favor of the Church of Light and speak kindly before Mr. Xu."
In truth, with the connection to Avril, the Pope didn't worry about Xu Fan harming him. It was rely a matter of his pride.
Ironically, previously, due to Avril, the Pope held Xu Fan in contempt, even thinking Xu Fan had joined the Dark Council and consud a Dark Potion, and this ti he ca to the Church of Light just to see Avril. But now, this Pope, who once stood high above and scorned Xu Fan, can only rely on Xu Fan's relationship with Avril to embolden himself.
"If it weren't for Wei'er being at a critical mont and mustn't be disturbed now, things wouldn't be like this..."
The Pope silently sighed, leading Dora, also sighing heavily, rapidly towards the direction where Xu Fan had been.
...
"Who is making noise in my Church of Light? What is happening here?"
A beam of Holy Light descended, parting the crowd, as the Pope and Dora strode forward.
The Pope wore an air of authority, gazing straight ahead, invigorating the followers of the Church of Light, who looked upon the Pope with adoration, as if finding their backbone.
anwhile, Dora, feeling uneasy, looked around but saw no sign of Xu Fan, only a young man holding a flying sword. Unable to consider the Pope's authority, he hurriedly asked Ma Wen, "Ma Wen, what's happened here? Why are you so disheveled?"
In reality, both the Pope and Dora understood that all the commotion was caused by Xu Fan. Yet, to preserve the Pope's dignity, it was difficult to directly ask where Xu Fan had gone and how these people provoked Xu Fan.
"Pope! Lord Dora, you have finally co! Had you been a mont later, you would never have seen your subordinate again!"
Seeing the Pope and Dora descend together, Ma Wen was emotionally shattered, clinging to the Pope's leg and bawling.
The Pope wished he could tear Ma Wen in half. But seeing Ma Wen covered in injuries, the Pope realized Xu Fan was likely enraged because of Ma Wen.
Yet, to maintain his image, the Pope feigned surprise and quickly helped Ma Wen up, "Archbishop Ma Wen, what on earth happened? Does soone dare to cause a disturbance inside my Church of Light?"
The question was carefully crafted, sounding like he was ready to stand by Ma Wen and uphold justice, but in reality, it guaranteed nothing, with the focus on uncovering the reason for Xu Fan's anger.
Normally, upon seeing Ma Wen in such a miserable state, witnessing the ground littered with dead and wounded subordinates, the Pope would have already grabbed a weapon and rallied everyone, ready to fight.
Ma Wen, unaware that the Pope had already sold him out in his heart, clung to the Pope as his last straw, speaking grievously, "Pope, I heard the guards had a dispute with soone and hurried over, only to find the disputants were two outsiders, one nad Xu Fan and the other Jiang Quan, the latter being a Blood Slave. Due to an identity dispute, Ma Xiu and others were tragically slain by this Jiang Quan!"
"Your subordinate couldn't stand it and argued with them, and was gravely injured too! Please, Pope, seek justice for ! Seek justice for the sacrificed guards!"
Ma Wen's desolate appearance would move anyone to tears, prompting the Pope to rage on the spot!
However, the Pope's anger was not directed at the allegedly monstrous Xu Fan, but towards Ma Wen's outrageous lies.
This visit was ant to resolve misunderstandings and reconcile with Xu Fan, not to seek justice for Ma Wen! You, Ma Wen, have already faced consequences, but why drag down too?
