"Why?" Asia poked her head out from the kitchen, her face full of confusion.

"If you ask why, it's because of the current power distribution in the city. As a city with a direct relative of the Demon King, there are a lot of demons in the city."

"At the same time, recently, the fallen angels have also sent more people here, and the number of non-humans is increasing dramatically."

After a pause, Fang Rui added, "When I came to this church, there was still a priest in the church, a priest who had sided with the fallen angels."

"You can think about what would happen if you rebuilt the church and put your faith in the God of the Bible."

"Especially since you're so weak you can't even kill a chicken..."

Upon hearing this, Asia was disappointed. She could understand what Fang Rui meant: rebuilding the church was not a problem, but she had no way to deal with the corresponding dangers.

“My suggestion is…” He paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, “You should write to headquarters to report the situation and request support. After all, one support staff member cannot support a church.”

“I…” Asia seemed to want to say something, but her expression dimmed slightly, and she ultimately did not say it. “I will.”

Knowing what Asia was thinking, Fang Rui didn't try to persuade her further.

To be honest, the fact that the owner of a rare healing artifact was banished makes it hard to say how many of the church's higher-ups have been corrupted by other forces.

While waiting for the food to finish cooking, Fang Rui used his magic to probe his surroundings, searching for the divine artifact or its owner.

"Although I can understand why you didn't attend the banquet, it's really embarrassing to leave in such a dejected manner."

Draig's voice suddenly rang out, and Fang Rui's gaze fell on the back of his right hand as he replied, "Is it a little too late to talk about this now?"

“The main problem was that I hadn’t found the right opportunity before,” Drage said.

As the host of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, it's infuriating that he was so slinked away.

"How did you manage to hold back?" Thinking of his host, who was an extremely powerful being, and how he hadn't gotten angry despite being offended, he immediately looked puzzled.

"Hold back? I didn't hold back~"

Fang Rui's tone was tinged with amusement, and he was indeed laughing. "I didn't attend the banquet, so am I the one who will suffer a loss?"

"The answer is yes, I will indeed suffer losses, but I can make up for them. In fact, those losses are insignificant to me."

"And what about the other side's losses? Needless to say, they are definitely more than mine."

Drag: "………… Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true."

Draig had already foreseen the fate of those gatekeepers; they would probably be fed to the monsters!

"And then what? What are you going to do?" Drag asked, curious about what the other world would be like and wanting to fight against the powerful beings there.

"Wait for news from the clone, and while waiting, do something else, like waiting for certain people to deliver goods to the door..."

"Is there a battle?" Drag asked.

"Of course there is, the only question is whether the White Dragon Emperor will deliver it to your door."

Fang Rui rubbed his cheek. The current host of the White Dragon Emperor was actually quite shrewd. After learning about Fang Rui's strength, he might not necessarily come looking for a beating.

"Hmm, probably, at least they'll come and take a look," Drag replied after a moment's thought.

Now that the Crimson Dragon Emperor's host has appeared, the White Dragon Emperor will definitely urge his host to take a look, regardless of strength or weakness.

"Is that so?" Fang Rui said with a smile. "Great! We don't have to look for him everywhere, which saves time."

Just as Draig said, Vali Lucifer obtained information about the current host of the Crimson Dragon Emperor from Azazel. After witnessing the Crimson Dragon Emperor's host defeat multiple opponents and all the representatives of the Demon Realm, he was extremely excited.

In his view, since the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor were on equal footing, their strength should be the same.

If the opponent can defeat all the powerful beings in the Demon Realm, then he can do the same.

"Something is unusual. He has already reached the level of Draig in his prime without using the Tyrant Dragon."

The White Dragon Emperor thought a little more deeply; this generation's Crimson Dragon Emperor was quite outrageous.

Upon hearing the White Dragon Emperor's voice, Vali also noticed this problem and immediately frowned.

"Without activating the Tyrant Dragon, the strength he displays is already at the peak of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's power?"

Vali's expression was very serious. "This is something that can be done easily?"

"What do you think? I've only seen it once..." The White Dragon Emperor's tone was equally surprised.

“I’m very curious!” Vali said, his gaze on Fang Rui growing increasingly sharp.

After activating the Tyrant Dragon skill, will it be able to surpass the Crimson Dragon Emperor?

I really, really want to know!!!

"Would you like to go?" the White Dragon Emperor asked his host. If his host did not wish to see the Crimson Dragon Emperor, he would not force him.

"Of course." Vali had no intention of backing down. His heart was filled with curiosity, and even though there were many dangers ahead, he was still going.

With that said, the two followed Azazel to the banquet.

As for his appearance, although he was presentable, he still used an artificial artifact to cover his face, since some demons might recognize him.

To avoid problems, it's better to cover it up.

Unfortunately, he did not see the person he wanted to see in the banquet hall.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing Vali's question, Azazel's lips curled slightly as he smiled and replied, "Obviously, the main character of this party isn't here, and nobody knows where he is."

"Wow~ They dare to hold a party without inviting anyone? Aren't they afraid of losing face? Or do they think the Crimson Dragon Emperor will definitely grant their request? Because they're demons?"

"What an arrogant idea!"

"Hey! That's too much hostility~" Azazel said helplessly. Fortunately, no one paid attention to Vali's words. He said softly, "How could we not have asked the Crimson Dragon Emperor for his opinion? You've seen how strong he is. Disrespecting his opinion is simply asking for a beating... no, it's utterly courting death!"

"The current situation is completely unexpected."

As he spoke, Azazel stroked his beard. "Tell me, what could be the reason that could make him disappear without a trace?"

"A formidable foe? There are perhaps only two beings capable of capturing the Crimson Dragon Emperor without him retaliating..."

"But I think it's probably impossible."

"As for other reasons, there are too many possibilities to give an accurate answer."

"The feeling of being surrounded by the unknown is fantastic!"

"Stop, stop acting crazy, be normal." Vali quickly stopped Azazel from acting crazy. As a scientist, Azazel was sometimes not very normal.

"Well, that's true. We do need to be more careful in public places."

"Getting back to the main topic, will I be able to see the Crimson Dragon Emperor?" Vali steered the conversation back to what he was most concerned about.

He came here to meet the current host of the Crimson Dragon Emperor. If he can't meet him, wouldn't that mean he's wasting his time?

"Perhaps. It's a matter of face, so the demons will definitely do their best to search."

Azazel cast his gaze across the other parts of the banquet hall, where representatives from various factions awaited answers. Although the Crimson Dragon Emperor was not present, the banquet would still proceed, but the demons would certainly lose face.

Not to mention, some of the more straightforward individuals have already left the banquet and sent people to find the current host of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, preparing to meet him in other ways.

Azazel had two plans: he waited here while his men searched outside.

On the other hand, Gurefia had already arrived at the church entrance, gazing at the dilapidated church.

The fact that the Crimson Dragon Emperor lived in the ruins was truly beyond her expectations.

“It’s very close,” Rias said, surprised that Fang Rui was so close, only a few streets away.

"I remember that the one who's been entrenched here is a fallen priest." Sona had investigated the situation in the city, after all, new members of the clan needed training.

Fallen demons who have fled to the city, unruly fallen angels, or others are all targets that can be defeated and used to train newcomers.

The fallen priest is also a target for attack, meaning that he hasn't caused much trouble and she doesn't have any new recruits to train, which is why he has survived to this day.

But now it seems like it's over.

With that said, the group entered the ruins, since the door was not closed.

The still-intact rooms inside the church, the only way to Fang Rui's area, imprison fallen angels and corrupted demons.

"Huh?" The two looked at each other with suspicion. How could there be fallen angels and demons imprisoned here?

Considering certain circumstances, the group did not eliminate their opponent, but instead continued to explore the church in search of Fang Rui's whereabouts.

"Huh? The door won't open!" After grasping the doorknob, Rias instinctively tried to pull the door, but it wouldn't budge, as if it were locked.

"Other locations have been confirmed, but the area behind this door is the only one that hasn't been confirmed."

Grayfia came here from another area and said to Rias, "The tools and magic for finding people are all pointing here, which means the other person should be here."

"Behind the door that can't be opened should be the area where the other party is located, and..."

Before entering the church, Gurefia observed the layout of the entire ruins. Logically, behind this door should be a corner of the courtyard, with bushes and trees.

But she remembered that there were no doors on the exterior of the building.

Is it for decoration?

Gurefia couldn't be sure; the tools and magic used for finding people could have a chance of error.

Let's verify this first. If it's not there, we'll have to find someone else.

To be honest, after being out for so long without finding anyone, there must be some problems at the banquet hall.

If we can bring the person over, there might be a chance to salvage the situation; if we can't, we'll definitely lose face.

The problem now is how to open the door...

The door wasn't sealed off; it looked like a normal door. The fact that it couldn't be opened meant it was locked.

Now it's time to show off your lock-picking skills!

The three looked at each other for a moment, then looked away. None of them knew how to pick locks, and breaking down the door was not an option they were considering.

"Knock on the door!" Cangna suggested. Since it might be Fang Rui's home, they should be more polite.

“You’re right.” Rias knocked gently on the door. Grayfia and Sona were behind her, a step away.

With a knock on the door, a voice came from inside saying "Coming~" The tone was a bit strange, and it was clear that the voice belonged to someone who wasn't a local, and it was also clear that the speaker wasn't Fang Rui.

The three were somewhat disappointed, but their disappointment vanished as soon as the door opened. Their gazes bypassed the blonde girl and turned to the living room, where a familiar person was sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Fang Rui, the banquet has begun. May I ask if you..." Before Gu Leifia could finish speaking, Fang Rui raised his hand to interrupt her.

"I've been to the castle, but I was stopped at the gate and couldn't go in. What do you mean by inviting me now?"
