“If I don’t kill you, the hatred in my heart will never go away!” Linley transformed into an Ancestral Dragon once again, exuding a powerful aura as he fiercely swung his claws at Clyde’s body. His movements became faster and faster, and his strength became stronger and stronger, as if he was going to destroy the entire world.

Buzz!
Twenty-one claws were fired in succession, each one landing in a different location. But no matter where Linley’s attack landed, it would eventually be blocked by the transparent ripples. The transparent ripples were like an unbreakable curse, bringing Linley’s revenge to a standstill.

……

The third picture.

It was still the same courtyard stained with blood.

At this moment, Clyde was in a state of disarray, and the transparent ripples on his body had almost disappeared. His clothes were tattered, his body was covered with blood and wounds, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Click!

Finally, under Linley’s 365th claw, with a crisp sound, Clyde’s body defenses finally completely collapsed. That sound was like the sound of nature, and it gave Linley a glimmer of hope.

"Old man, let's see whether you can die this time!"

Linley laughed wildly, looking like a madman, his eyes bloodshot. His laughter was filled with the pleasure and madness of revenge, as if he had seen the end of Clyde.

His hands once again turned into dragon claws, and he swung them towards Clyde's head. The dragon claws flashed with cold light, carrying endless murderous intent.

But just as Linley’s claws were about to smash Clyde to pieces…

At this time, a tall and thin man in a white robe appeared above Clyde. He stood in the air, looking at Linley below him with indifference like a god. He exuded a sacred and majestic aura that made it impossible to look directly at him.

Boom!

The robed man attacked, and his methods were extremely powerful. After a few rounds, he severely injured Lin Lei, and finally took Lin Lei away under Clyde’s grateful eyes. The powerful force made people feel desperate, and Lin Lei’s road to revenge was interrupted again.

“Ah! I can’t kill you. I won’t give up!” Linley’s hysterical screams filled with murderous intent echoed through the palace. His voice was filled with despair and pain, and it was heartbreaking.

----

“No way! His Majesty Clyde really sent people to capture Linley’s mother!” A short man said with his eyes wide open and a trembling voice.

"Didn't you hear what His Majesty said? He is just trying to please the people behind the scenes! But then again, who else is worthy of His Majesty Clyde's flattery?" A middle-aged woman next to him frowned and said thoughtfully.

“That Lin Lei actually went to attack and kill His Majesty Clyde!” A young warrior’s face was filled with shock, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“Yes, if the Pope had not intervened in the end, I’m afraid His Majesty Clyde would have been killed by Lin Lei!” An old man shook his head and sighed.

……

After watching the third picture, the crowd of onlookers around the ruins could no longer hold back their exclamations. Their faces were filled with surprise and fear. They felt sympathy for Linley's experience, anger at Clyde's behavior, and shock at the appearance of the Pope. The whole scene fell into chaos and noise. Everyone was discussing the picture they had just seen, their hearts filled with all kinds of complicated emotions.

“Master, has Young Master Lin Lei fallen into the hands of the Holy See of Light, Hastings?” Hillman looked at Jiang Han, his brows full of confusion, his voice full of anxiety and worry. “Over the past ten years, although the relationship between our Jiang Sect and the Holy See of Light is not good, there has never been any conflict. Since the Holy See of Light has stopped Young Master Lin Lei from killing, why hasn’t he released him yet?” Hillman frowned, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Jiang Han didn’t say anything, but just gave Hillman a look, signaling him to continue watching. His expression was as calm as water, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

The fourth picture.

This is a huge main hall, which is mostly decorated in Western style. Tall stone pillars support the dome, the walls are inlaid with dazzling gems, and the floor is covered with gorgeous carpets. The sunlight shines into the hall through the colored glass windows, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

At this moment, there were two figures in the hall. One of them was the Pope of Light, Hettings. He was tall and thin, wearing a gorgeous white robe, a golden crown on his head, and holding a scepter, exuding a sacred and majestic aura. The other was the Cardinal Gilmer, who had a kind face and wise eyes.

“Your Holiness, how do you think we should persuade Linley? After all, Klein is the king of the Finlay Kingdom. If he dies, the kingdom will be in chaos.” Gilmer looked at Haitings with a hint of worry in his tone. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about the future of the kingdom.

"No need to persuade him. This kid's fate will either be to be used by the Holy See of Light or to die." Haitings said calmly. His voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"What?!" Gilmer was obviously shocked by Hettings' answer. His eyes widened instantly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "Your Holiness, Linley's master is also a master of the Holy Land! We have always kept our distance from Jiangmen, and there is no need to eliminate his enemies for Clyde!" Gilmer's voice was full of urgency. He tried to persuade Hettings to change his mind.

“Gilmer, do you know why Linley wanted to kill Clyde?” Hattings turned his head and looked at Gilmer. His eyes were deep and mysterious, and it was impossible to understand the meaning.

Gilmer was stunned and said, "Isn't it because of the revenge for the murder of your mother?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, and it was obvious that he was not very confident about the answer.

"That's right." Heitings nodded and continued, "Then do you know who Linley's mother is?" There was a hint of inquiry in his tone. Gilmer shook his head, "I haven't investigated this." A look of shame appeared on his face.

Hettings smiled and said, "Lin Lei's mother is the woman that Clyde gave us twelve years ago." There was a hint of pride and mystery in his smile.

"What? It's her!" Hearing what Haitings said, Gilmer's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly remembered, because this woman had a great influence on their Temple of Light. His face instantly became solemn, as if he realized the seriousness of the matter.

“Your Holiness, how are you going to deal with this Lin Lei?” Gilmer’s face was a little solemn. The talent displayed by this Lin Lei was really too terrifying. At the age of seventeen, he had already broken through to the ninth level! Looking at the history of the entire Yulan Continent, there has never been such a young ninth-level expert! Moreover, not only that, this Lin Lei also mastered a secret method that could transform into a dragon. Lin Lei in the dragon form was already able to fight against the early Saint Domain experts. He knew that a genius like Lin Lei should either be recruited for his own use or have no grudges. But if there was really a grudge, then this threat must be eliminated before the other party fully grew up!

"Tomorrow is the missionary day, and it is also the time when the glory of the Lord of Light shines brightest. At this time tomorrow, I will pray to the Lord to send down the divine light on him." Hettings said calmly, his eyes full of determination and confidence, as if everything was under his control.

"The light of God?" Gilmer quickly understood what Hettings was thinking. Anyone who accepted the light of God might have his future achievements restricted, but he would no longer pose a threat to the Church of Light. The so-called light of God was nothing more than a ray of faith from the Lord of Light. It could completely cleanse a person's soul and make that person absolutely believe in and be loyal to the Lord of Light.

"What if we fail?" Gilmer asked again, a hint of worry in his voice.

"It doesn't matter if he fails. His physique is so strong that he can be used as a high-quality furnace to guide a powerful angel!" Pope Heitings grinned with a sinister look. His smile made people shudder, as if they saw a dark and cruel plan.

----

“Oh my God! Could it be that after His Majesty Clyde captured Linley’s mother, he sent him to the Holy See of Light?” An onlooker couldn’t help but exclaimed, his voice filled with shock and anger.

“So, Lin Lei has fallen into the hands of the Holy See of Light. Isn’t that like a lamb walking into a tiger’s mouth?” another person shouted, his face full of worry and fear.

"Didn't they say that God's light would be sent down to him on the missionary day?" someone said eagerly, his voice full of anxiety.

"Isn't today the missionary day of the Holy See of Light?" A trembling voice sounded, as if aware of the urgency of the matter.

……

After watching the fourth picture, everyone around the ruins suddenly realized something, as if they had completely understood the whole story. Their faces were filled with anger and helplessness. They felt sympathy for Lin Lei's experience and were angry at the actions of the Church of Light and Clyde. The whole scene fell into chaos and noise. Everyone was worried about Lin Lei's fate, and at the same time they were indignant at the conspiracy of the Church of Light.

"This damned Church of Light! It turns out that they are the culprit who killed my lady and Lord Hogg!" Hillman clenched his fists tightly, his face was full of blue veins, and he was filled with strong hatred. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire, his teeth were clenched, and he looked so angry that he seemed to want to eat the Church of Light alive.

Just when he wanted to say something to Jiang Han, the other party waved his sleeves, and the four images in front of him disappeared. The images were like a dream bubble, disappearing without a trace in an instant, leaving only a void.

The next moment, he heard a dragon roar, and an invisible yet extremely huge terrifying force swept through his body. Then, his vision changed rapidly, as if he was crossing the avenue of time and space. The surrounding scene became blurred, and time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.

Not only Hillman, Little Wharton, the Level 9 Shadow Rat, the Stone-Eating Rat, and a group of Jiangmen disciples disappeared from the spot at the same time. Their figures disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if they were swallowed by a mysterious force.

"Hurry, hurry to the Holy See of Light! There's something interesting to watch!" The people around the ruins were stunned at first as they watched Jiang Han and the others disappear, but after they realized what was happening, they became very excited. Their faces were filled with anticipation and excitement, as if they were about to witness a world-shaking battle.

Seeing the excitement of these spectators, it seemed that they had already imagined the scene of the Jiangmen Sect Master fighting Pope Hastings to save his disciples. Their eyes were shining with excitement, their heartbeats were accelerating, and they couldn't wait to go to the Holy See of Light to witness this battle that could change the situation on the continent.

July 9999, 12 in the Magnolia calendar.

This day of every year is the most dazzling day for the glory of the Lord of Light, and it is also the missionary day of the Holy See of Light. The sky is as blue as a gem, and the sun shines on the earth, bringing warmth and light to the whole world. However, on this seemingly peaceful day, there is a storm that is about to break out.

The so-called missionary day is nothing more than the Holy See of Light sending out invitations to invite people of status from the four empires and three major forces to come and enjoy the grace of the Lord of Light. The architecture of the Holy See of Light is magnificent, with steeple churches towering into the sky, and walls inlaid with dazzling gems, exuding a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

Of course, if someone came uninvited during the missionary day, the Holy See of Light would not drive them away, but would instead warmly entertain them. Even if someone from the Holy See of Darkness came, they would still smile and receive them. This superficial tolerance and generosity was only to maintain the image and status of the Holy See of Light on the mainland.

That is why the square of the Holy See of Light, which is hundreds of acres in size, is packed with people today. People are dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing precious jewelry, and their faces are filled with excitement and anticipation.

Some of these people came from the O'Brien Empire, some from the Yulan Empire, some from the Luoo Empire, and some from the Rhine Empire. In addition, there were also many nobles from small kingdoms. They came from different places, with different backgrounds and identities, but at this moment they all gathered here, waiting for the blessing of the Lord of Light.

As for their cultivation, the weak ones were at level two or three, while the strong ones had even broken through level nine and became Saint Domain experts, becoming famous. These experts exuded a powerful aura that people dared not underestimate.

“Have you heard? Before the Lord of Light bestows blessings this year, there seems to be a small episode in the Church of Light.” A man in gorgeous robes whispered, with a hint of mystery in his eyes.

"Of course I know. It seems to be related to the young master of Jiangmen." An old man next to him nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

“You mean Lin Lei? This little fellow is incredible! He’s only seventeen years old, but he’s already a ninth-level warrior! After his transformation, he can even fight against Saint-level warriors!” A burly man exclaimed, his voice full of admiration and praise. (End of this chapter)
