After Yang Ling killed Fabris, he survived the calamity and got unimaginable benefits. Meanwhile, in the distant Holy City Saratoga, the interior of the Church’s majestic shrine became quite ice-cold.

“Wilbur, didn’t you get yet any news about Fabris?” The lofty Pope Barrett wore a gloomy expression, and he looked coldly at a Managing Elder called Wilbur that was near him.

After Fabris comprehended the Knife Domain, his power reached the peak of Low-Level Deity Stage, and he was qualified to travel into the City Amongst the Clouds to carry out further training. Only a few people in Tailun Continent possessed power on a par with Fabris, and they were the Fire God Mountain’s Fire God, the Royal Elven Palace’s Chief Elven Priest, Bellimore Family’s Sword God, and Borg Family’s Golden Lion.

Moreover, according to the intelligence they had about all parties, Elder Brent that was next to Yang Ling wasn’t just heavily injured, he still had only a little part of his Divine Power left, while he was still just a junior Low-Level Deity. According to reason, Fabris should have surely succeeded in his trip, as he wasn’t just able to kill the hateful little Lord Yang Ling, he was even able to slaughter everyone in the Magical Beast Realm. Yet what none had expected was that Fabris would go missing, and they didn’t get any news about him for three days in a row.

It wasn’t normal to fail to get any news about him for three days in a row!

Wilbur was a Managing Elder of the Holy Hall’s Outer Hall and was in charge of making plans for the current operation as well as keeping contact with the one carrying it out. Yet he wasn’t able to get any info about Fabris’s whereabouts for three days in a row, and he was so anxious that his hair almost turned white. As for the Church’s lofty Pope Barrett, he also wore a worried frown once he got info about this affair.

The reason why the Church stayed strong for innumerable years without declining wasn’t the large number of its followers, and it also wasn’t due to the number of elites among its Guardian Knights and Spellcasters. It was that it possessed powerhouses with great power, and if they didn’t have them, the church would have been eradicated long ago by the Fire God Sect or other great factions.

It was only experts who were esteemed in the Tailun Continent, while all experts spoke with their fists and power.

Besides the angels that descended from the City Amongst the Clouds, the powerful Templar Warriors were always the Church’s main force, and it depended upon them to wage wars all around. They were the Church’s pride and foundation, and it depended upon them to flaunt its might on the Tailun Continent. Moreover, the Inner Hall’s warriors were the elite among the elites, and it was only them who were able to contend against the great factions’ powerhouses.

As for the expert Fabris that reached God-Level ten thousand years ago, he was obviously the Church’s pride, and even though they still had experts more powerful than him, they were so few that they could be counted on one’s fingers, while they were all in charge of carrying out secret missions. Those experts wouldn’t fight unless it was absolutely necessary. The Pope didn’t have the right to maneuver anyone other than the City Amongst the Clouds’ envoys.

“Your Majesty the Pope, this affair’s development had probably exceeded our expectations greatly.” After Wilbur saw the Pope’s gloomy expression, he paused and hesitated for a moment, before he continued speaking, “Since we didn’t get any info for three days, then there are only two possibilities. One of them is that Lord Fabris is stranded in a certain land, while the other is that he was killed. But, no matter which one is true, they both demonstrated that the Magical Beast Realm wasn’t protected and overseen by just a single God-Level Expert, and the other experts hide so well that we didn’t discover their tracks.”

There wasn’t just a single apex Low-Level Deity?

Pope Barrett rubbed his temple. He didn’t expect that the power hidden by Yang Ling was so great, and he pondered over this for a moment, before he said, “Wilbur, when will Elder Turiaf come out?”

“Your Majesty the Pope, Elder Turiaf had already meditated in seclusion for several thousands of years, and before he entered the secret chamber, he ordered us to abstain from disturbing him. None know when he will come out, it may be tomorrow, yet it may also be after several thousands of years or several tens of thousands of years.” Upon witnessing that the Pope stared at him attentively, Wilbur shook his head and chuckled bitterly.

Turiaf was the great elder of the Holy Hall’s Inner Hall, and he was obviously the Church’s strongest expert. It was rumored that he had already reached Mid-Level God Stage several tens of thousands of years ago, and even the City Amongst the Clouds’ experts had to treat him respectfully. But, it was a pity that the great elder didn’t pay heed to the outside world’s matters, and he went to train in seclusion several thousands of years ago, while he still forbade everyone from disturbing him. Asking the great elder to come out to deal with Yang Ling was obviously not a valid option, as they mustn’t disturb his training ever unless the Church faced a disaster that would destroy it.

“The Chief Angel supervising the Stormy Seas can’t travel around, while the Holy Knights guarding against the Sinners’ invasion couldn’t be moved. As for Elder Turiaf, he shouldn’t be disturbed. Doesn’t this mean that we just have to continue waiting?” Pope Barrett looked coldly at Wilbur that was in charge of keeping in contact with everyone. The Pope didn’t seem angry, yet he still seemed dignified and awe-inspiring.

When Wilbur saw that the Pope’s expression became more gloomy, he took a deep breath, and spoke slowly, “Your Majesty, I think that the best solution is dispatching a team of Templar Warriors or angels toward Jaboli, and have them scout out Lord Fabris’s whereabouts, as well as the Magical Beast Realm’s situation. We should wait until we get detailed and accurate info about this affair before we make a decision about our next move.”

Since they didn’t have any info about Fabris’s current whereabouts, it wouldn’t be wise to retaliate without getting detailed info. If Yang Ling really had several Low-Level Deities or a Mid-Level Deity next to him, the people who intruded there rashly wouldn’t just bring about their own deaths, they might even shed all pretense of cordiality with the Magical Beast Realm, and they would bring great trouble to the Church.

“Humph, it’s also fine. Dispatch the five swiftest Strength Angels, and take actions promptly.” The Pope snorted coldly, and waved his sleeves, before leaving.

Dispatching the five swiftest Strength Angels?

Wilbur looked at the back of the Pope that left far away and let out a sigh. As matters stood, taking revenge against Yang Ling was already secondary, and what was crucial was getting an understanding of Fabris’s current whereabouts, as well as the Magical Beast Realm’s power. The Strength Angels didn’t just possess great power, they were also the swiftest among the Angels’ clones that descended. Moreover, they could still form the Angelic War Formation that possessed great power. Once that situation went wrong, and they were discovered, they could still join hands to contend against the enemies, and release great fighting prowess that would help them escape from death.

The Church had already mobilized most of its force to guard the Stormy Seas, as well as the Golden Seacoast, where Sinners resided. If the Magical Beast Realm really had several powerful God-Level Experts, then the power structure of the whole Tailun Continent would go through subtle changes, and they would have to adjust many affairs in advance.

The Church quickly dispatched the second wave of people that would spy on the Magical Beast Realm to get info about its power, as well as Fabris’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, Yang Ling also dispatched a large number of people to scout out the Church’s actions, while he still strengthened his territory’s defense. He had added more Gravity Restriction Spells upon the former foundation, while he snatched time to try to stabilize the powerful Thousand Layers of Waves Domain quickly. After Yang Ling skillfully grasped this powerful domain, even if Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King, and the others faced him together, they weren’t any longer a match for him, while even Elder Brent was wary of Yang Ling’s powerful close-quarters combat ability.

If Elder Brent used his Divine Domain’s pressure, the power of the Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King, and the others would drop sharply, and they wouldn’t be able to move. But, it was a different case for Yang Ling, and the influence of the pressure of the Elder’s Divine Domain on him was quite negligible. It was unknown whether the reason behind it was his powerful Soul Energy or the fact that he released Ice-Sealing Domain and Power Domain at the same time.

Yang Ling possessed two Domains, powerful offense and defense, and monstrous speed. Such aspects let Yang Ling’s power rise greatly. But the crux was that since he fused smoothly with Fabris’s Godhead, his training speed became higher than usual by much, and even though he wasn’t able to quickly absorb the Godhead, his comprehension of Power Domain was becoming deeper, and his progress speed was so high that none could catch up to him.

On this day, Yang Ling was training in meditation atop the Great Wizard Altar, but all of a sudden, several Holy Energy’s ripples appeared in Jaboli City, and they quickly attracted his attention.

Did the Church’s people come over once again?

Yang Ling was quite prudent, and he spread out his powerful Divine Consciousness quietly. He quickly found five suspicious black-clothed people, and he discovered that they depended upon the hazy moonlight to approach the City Lord’s Manor. Yang Ling sneered coldly, and deactivated the Restriction Spells within the Manor’s temporarily, while he still summoned the Corpse Wizard King that trained within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, and whispered near his ear in a low voice. He gave him some instructions!

Even though the men who came over had a high-speed, they were still weaker than Fabris by much, while they were still sneaky and secretive. It was obvious that they didn’t come to fight, and their operation’s objection was quite obvious.

Yang Ling’s power rose greatly, and he could kill the five uninvited guests without depending upon the Restriction Spells. Killing them was quite easy, but if he had done so, he would let them off lightly. Yang Ling deactivated the Restriction Spells of the City Lord Manor temporarily and allowed those people to come inside. He would try to beat them at their own game and provide them with false intelligence that would misguide the opposite side. Yang Ling would then be able to take advantage of the situation easier, while it was also more exciting and refreshing like this.

“Hehehe, it isn’t an issue. Those are five Strength angels that descended in the Church, and their soul’s flavor is surely marvelous.” As the Corpse Wizard King looked at the five Strength angels that overestimated their capabilities and came here, he let out unpleasant laugher. “After I absorb their Blood Essence and souls, I will have enough assurance to recover my power completely. Lord, after I complete the task, you must give at least the Blood Essence and soul of one captive.”

“Hehe, as long as you do it well, I won’t just give you one, you can even get two.” Yang Ling chuckled as he looked at the Corpse Wizard King that wanted to quickly recover his power.

After the Dark Dragon King, Flying Dragon, and the others went through a bitter battle, they all felt that they didn’t possess enough power, and they trained bitterly all day long in the Wizard Pagoda. Even the sloppy Corpse Wizard King was anxious. The Corpse Wizard King witnessed clearly that the Purple Rat Little Ice and Thousand-faced Mink were getting closer into evolving into Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, while the crowd’s power also gradually rose due to Elder Brent’s guidance. This was why the Corpse Wizard King couldn’t sit still any longer, and he didn’t just hope to recover to the Domain-Level’s peak, he even wanted to depend upon Elder Brent’s guidance to advance into God-Level, and become a powerful God-Level Corpse Wizard King.

The power of Elder Brent, who was stranded in the Burning Fire Restriction for several thousand years, didn’t rise. Instead, it declined, but the people still benefited from Brent’s broad theoretical knowledge. Even though everyone’s training path was different and they all walked down the paths of different Laws, the training methods and the most practical techniques were similar, and the crowd managed to get over many issues due to Brent’s guidance. Even Yang Ling wasn’t an exception. Yang Ling wanted to hold the elder into his own camp and war chariot more firmly, and this was why he asked the female pirate Margaret to persuade her clansmen into moving their tribe into the Magical Beast Territory, before he invited the elder over, and asked him to become the Wizard Sect’s Great Elder.

Elder Brent’s clansmen got appropriate arrangements set for them and got a place where they could settle and live. The tribe’s recovery became imminent. As for Yang Ling, he got a powerful powerhouse, and his territory’s safety was assured further. Everything was to everyone’s delight and satisfaction!
