A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 222 Surprise!

Meanwhile on the other side.

Without the slightest delay, Gu Xing sped towards Blue Star through the void gate of the Crimson Church.

His primary task at this moment is to reach the Beast Taming Holy Pool of the Crimson Church as soon as possible and fully awaken his divine runes!
He quickly appeared outside the capital of the Crimson Church on Blue Star, traveling at full speed.

"Lilith, where is the entrance to the Beast Taming Holy Pool?"

Standing before the majestic city gate, Gu Xing used his mental power to ask Lilith, who was inside the Beast Taming Space, a question.

however--

"do not know!"

This answer not only stunned Gu Xing, but also surprised the other beasts in the beast taming space.

do not know?
As the progenitor of the Crimson Church, Lilith enjoys a supreme position within the Church.

but
She didn't even know the location of the Beast Taming Sacred Pool?
Sensing everyone's confusion, Lilith helplessly shrugged:
"I've been staying in another dimension the whole time. Why would I be asking about the location of your human race's sacred pool if I have nothing better to do?"

This answer made Gu Xing's lips twitch slightly.

Think carefully
That does seem to make a lot of sense!

Since he couldn't get an answer from Lilith, Gu Xing turned his gaze to the towering church in the center of the city.

It seems the only solution is to go and ask the person in charge here for clarification.

He took a deep breath and strode into the city.

At this moment, inside the central church of the Crimson Church.

Cecilia stood alone in front of the stained glass window, sunlight filtering through the glass and casting dappled shadows on her pale face.

Since the Blood Ancestor incident subsided, the Holy See Empress has traveled to the Dragon Xia Kingdom, entrusting her, the Holy Maiden, with full authority over the affairs of the Blue Star Holy See.

however--

"Holy Maiden, shouldn't you give me an explanation regarding the whereabouts of the Beast Taming Holy Pool?"

"My patience is extremely limited!"

A hoarse voice suddenly broke the silence of the church.

A hunched old man in a white robe walked slowly towards them, his cloudy eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

OMG!

He was also one of the bishops of the Bloodstained Vatican.

Its main function is to manage affairs within the Earth!

As the main administrator of the Papacy on Earth, Os has always outwardly complied with the Empress's rule but inwardly defied it.

They have only kept quiet because they lack the strength to do so.

But the news that the Empress had decided to submit to the Dragon Xia Kingdom completely ignited his long-suppressed anger.

His son, however, had indirectly died at the hands of a soldier from the Longxia Kingdom due to an accident.

Therefore, he felt nothing but resentment towards the Longxia Kingdom.

Therefore, upon learning of the Empress's decision, he secretly imprisoned another bishop loyal to the Empress and incited several monarch-level powerhouses of the Blue Star Church to launch a rebellion.

The first step in the rebellion was to seize control of the Beast Taming Sacred Pool.

If we can take this place, we can mass-produce king-level powerhouses.

Although the breakthrough achieved through the Sacred Pool was only at the "False King" level, it was still far superior to the Commander level.

However, we've already hit a roadblock at the very first step.

Unlike the publicly disclosed Beast Taming Holy Pool of the Dragon Xia Kingdom, the location of the Holy Pool of the Crimson Church is classified as top secret.

Only the Queen and the Holy Maiden know the exact location.

Furthermore, the Papal Queen strongly dislikes the existence of false kings.

She always believed that the Monarch level breakthrough achieved through the Sacred Pool was nothing more than a product of opportunism.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, she forbids leaders at the peak from using the Sacred Pool to break through to the King level.

This has led to dissatisfaction among many peak commanders who are unable to break through to the king-level beast tamer.

And the support of these top-tier beast tamers
This is precisely the source of Os's confidence to rebel so brazenly!
At this moment, leaders at the pinnacle of their power, incited by him, stood in every corner of the church. If he could control the sacred pool, he could quickly build a monarch-level army. However…

Cecilia merely raised her eyes slightly, her blood-red pupils sweeping over Os's ferocious face before returning to calm.

The bishop merely imprisoned her here and dared not lay a hand on her.

Once the empress in the alternate dimension learns of this situation, the crisis here will naturally be resolved.

And all she can do is...
Wait quietly!
Upon seeing Cecilia's unyielding attitude, Os's face instantly contorted with anger.

“Cecilia, don’t think that just because I call you a saint, you really are a saint.”

"You are nothing more than a child that the Queen picked up from outside, only slightly more talented!"

"If you don't reveal the location of the Beast Taming Sacred Pool, even if I kill you, the Empress won't be able to do anything to me."

Cecilia remained silent as ice, not even her eyelashes trembling slightly.

She would rather die than reveal a single word about the secret of the Beast Taming Sacred Pool.

Oss's face was contorted with rage, and the veins on his neck bulged, but he managed to suppress his fury.

He turned around abruptly, his robes tracing an arc in the air.

"Remember, you only have one day left."

He stopped at the doorway, and a cold voice slowly rose:
If you don't speak by this time tomorrow...

“The old bishop who watched you grow up will pay the price for your stubbornness.”

These words pierced Cecilia's heart like a sharp sword.

The other bishop, though of average strength, was a close relative who had taken care of her and the empress since childhood.

Almost equivalent to her and the Queen's grandfather!

Therefore, Cecilia was stunned when she heard this.

Her pale fingertips unconsciously dug into her palm.

She was a little shaken.

As dusk settled in the capital, bathed in a crimson afterglow, Gu Xing stood in front of an old, run-down hotel.

The whispers of the crowd on the street kept reaching my ears—

"Have you heard? Tomorrow, Bishop Os will publicly open the Beast Taming Sacred Pool!"

"All my colleagues who were stuck at the peak of the leadership level have been able to break through!"

"We've finally waited for this day."

Gu Xing's brows furrowed. To force a large number of commander-level experts to break through using the Sacred Pool?

Is this bishop out of his mind?!
While this method of forcing growth may quickly grant power, it will permanently damage the cultivator's potential.

Moreover, he is a beast tamer at the pseudo-king level.
What role can it play in the fight against the demons?
Are we going to our deaths?!

Gu Xing sighed softly and shook his head.

"If this bishop's statement comes true..."

The future of the Crimson Church may be ruined as a result.

It seems I'll have to have a "good talk" with this Bishop of Os tomorrow.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door of the hotel, Gu Xing went straight to the guest rooms on the second floor.

There are more important things to do right now—

That means signing a contract with Sally!

As for this catgirl who has always been dedicated to being her own maid.

Gu Xing has decided to fulfill her wish!

As long as a contract is signed with Sally
Then this little cat girl no longer needs to call him Lord Gu Xing!

Instead, call him
Owner!

Thinking of this, Gu Xing's lips unconsciously curved into a gentle smile.

However, this little cat girl is unaware of this decision yet!
But this was a perfect surprise for her!
