At this mont, the Pope finally understood why he had always felt anxious!
Indeed, no matter how strong Xu Fan was, he couldn't surpass the combined strength of five Kai Yang Realm powerhouses. No matter how terrifying the forces behind Xu Fan were, they couldn't simply erase the Church of Light from Earth. Everything required balance!
However, the Pope had previously overlooked a crucial matter! While he could join forces with four Archbishops, Xu Fan could similarly join forces with other powerful figures! If he defeated Xu Fan without taking Xu Fan's life, he believed the forces behind Xu Fan wouldn't do anything drastic to the Church of Light. But if Xu Fan defeated him, or even erased the Church of Light, his own backing forces might not be able to do anything to Xu Fan!
As the saying goes, everything requires balance!
The upper realm is indeed vast! Innurable forces constrain each other; who can guarantee that soone in the upper realm will definitely seek revenge for him?
Furthermore, if he's dead and the entire Church of Light no longer exists, even if the upper realm exacts revenge and kills Xu Fan, what would be the point?
The greatest value of a backing force is to intimidate others! But Xu Fan's current stance clearly shows that he won't be intimidated by the forces behind the Church of Light! Instead, the Pope has to be cautious because of the forces behind Xu Fan!
At this mont, one can imagine the Pope's feelings.
Disappointnt, remorse, resentnt, bewildernt, and deep fear!
What kind of existence is the Speaker of the Dark Council? Even he is imnsely apprehensive, yet how humble he appears before Xu Fan! Then just how terrifying must Xu Fan be?
It's laughable that he previously suspected Xu Fan had allied with the Dark Council, and that Xu Fan was a spy sent by the Dark Council to infiltrate the Church of Light.
Think about it, if the Dark Council planned to act against the Church of Light, given the gap in top-level combat power between the two, the Dark Council could directly overwhelm them; why wait hundreds of years? Why bother with so much hassle?
The key is, the Church of Light and Xu Fan should have a favorable relationship! Xia Xiaodie and others are within the Church of Light and being cared for, and Wei'er belongs to the Church of Light as well. Without needing him to do anything, Xu Fan is almost already aboard the great ship of the Church of Light!
However, holding onto his identity, he didn't et Xu Fan imdiately, and now everything has turned into such a ss! Thinking of this, the Pope regrets wishing to slap himself twice!
"Your Holiness, should we still..."
Beside him, the faces of the four Archbishops were extrely grim, and since even the Pope was worried, the four Archbishops were concerned even more! At this mont, all of their faces showed a hint of retreat.
And the aning of this sentence is very clear, we clearly can't win this fight, and among this group, you're the leader, you decide.
What does "you decide" an? Naturally, it ans obediently following Xu Fan's orders and kneeling to a group of ordinary people.
The Pope gritted his teeth in anger and gave the speaking Archbishop a fierce glare, wanting to cave to Xu Fan, yet ultimately couldn't get past his own pride, standing there, utterly conflicted.
The elder in the black robe had no such thoughts; since the Monarch Envoy of the upper realm instructed him to monitor Xu Fan's every move, he naturally had to resolve the tense relations, naturally needed reconciliation, which naturally required sincerity.
To show sincerity, the elder in the black robe ca alone without companions, bringing priceless treasures, arriving at the Church of Light in person, hoping Xu Fan would see his sincerity and intent.
However, the elder regretted it upon arrival, feeling he ca at an unlucky mont, as Xu Fan's mood seed even worse than when he launched a surprise attack last.
Watching Xu Fan's face full of killing intent, the elder wanted to quietly exit, wait until Xu Fan vented his anger, preferably until he wiped out the entire Church of Light, and then co when his mood was better.
But this, of course, was impossible.
Grinding his teeth, the elder in black walked to a distance of ten steps from Xu Fan, then shockingly knelt down on both knees, raising the small box with both hands high, "Mr. Xu, I didn't properly send my regards in recent days, and I deeply regret it! Today I've personally brought the Dark Council's most treasured item to offer as an apology, and I hope Mr. Xu will pardon !"
"This treasure is called the Blood Pill! It's the Blood Clan's utmost treasure! It was forged over a millennium, absorbing the sun and moon's essence! Its energy is vast enough to help Mr. Xu breakthrough Mysterious Light! My humble contribution, I hope Mr. Xu wouldn't refuse!"
What does Xu Fan lack most now? Necessarily, it's elevation in realm!
The boundary of Zhiwei Realm peak isn't low, but at Xu Fan's current level, it's beco his greatest shortcoming! The elder's move was to play right into what Xu Fan desired!
Hiss!
This scene caused many to widen their eyes, especially the Pope, who was full of disbelief.
Despite being mortal enemies, the Church of Light and Dark Council, the Pope, as the leader of his side, naturally knew the elder in black exceedingly well. This man, proud to the extre, actually knelt to Xu Fan! What exactly did Xu Fan do to make his posture so low!?
Xu Fan slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly displeased by the sudden appearance of the elder in black, but finally, he nodded indifferently, "Appreciated, Jiang Quan."
Jiang Quan, once a servant to the elder in black, gazed at him with an odd smile, showing no cowardice, boldly stepping forward to take the Blood Pill from the elder's hands.
Aside from Jiang Quan feeling odd, even the elder in black felt strange; that a forr lowly servant, degraded to the utmost, could one day have his master kneel before him?
Even though he felt a trace of oddness, the elder in black dared not show any discontent, respectfully handed the Blood Pill to Jiang Quan, repeatedly thanked Xu Fan, as if Xu Fan accepting his council's treasure wasn't a loss, but an imnsely good outco.
Of course, it was exceedingly beneficial! Since Xu Fan accepted the Blood Pill, it signified forgiveness, leaving room in front of the Monarch Envoy.
Compared to his own life, a re Blood Pill, what does it count for?
"Mr. Xu, what happened before was my mont of folly, you see..." Though understanding Xu Fan's attitude, given the gravity of the matter, the elder in black cautiously asked.
Xu Fan peeked at the elder in black and casually replied, "We can say we've beco acquaintances through conflict; let bygones be bygones."
To endlessly battle the Dark Council, was never Xu Fan's style; trickery woven in reality and illusion is how one could toy with everyone in the palm of his hand.
Moreover, Xu Fan's target wasn't the Dark Council at this mont, but the Church of Light!
The elder in black clearly noticed the killing intent in Xu Fan's eyes, stood up, looked humorously at the Pope, and smiled sinisterly, "Mr. Xu, did these fools upset you? If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I'm willing to assist Mr. Xu in annihilating these fools!"
While at the Dark Council, he thought Xu Fan had a good relationship with the Church of Light and worried deeply, but he didn't expect these fools in the Church of Light lived in prosperity yet didn't appreciate it. Instead, they provoked Xu Fan to enmity!
Xu Fan said nothing, rely casting an icy gaze at the Pope, just one glance, and the Pope's ntal defenses entirely collapsed.
Thud!
The high and mighty Pope finally let go of all dignity, kneeling at Xu Fan's feet!
