Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

Pope Hattins's expression was not pleasant; in fact, it could be described as very unpleasant.

The entire Papacy, except for the Inquisition, fanatics, and ascetics, remained in the Sanctuary of Finlay and all went to the Finlay Palace.

Haitings looked at Mora, who was clutching her chest and breathing weakly. "Tell me, what did you see?"

Although the angel before them was only a four-winged angel, it still possessed the strength of a Saint.

However, in just one exchange, and perhaps without even using their full strength, the opponent severely injured the four-winged angel.

Those who arrived in the Holy Capital tonight are at least at the peak of the Holy Realm.

Ideally, one should only be at the peak of the Saint Realm.

If it's the limit of the Holy Domain, even the Holy See of Light would have to settle things peacefully.

"Your Majesty!" Mora bowed slightly, his expression somewhat grim. "I didn't get a clear look at him. He was very strong and didn't seem to be from the Yulan Continent."

The words of the descending angel caused Haitings' expression to change drastically.

"Are you sure?" Haitings pressed, "Is he from a higher plane? But he's only at the Saint Realm level!"

Faced with Haitings's persistent questioning, Mora could only shake his head.

After all, the current Yulan Plane only has two races: humans and magical beasts.

But tonight, I encountered a dragon-man with horns, scales, and a tail.

"Perhaps they escaped from the dimensional prison?" the commander of the Holy Knights suddenly spoke up. "Every now and then, some people escape from the dimensional prison; it's normal."

"But what grudge does the other party have against Clyde?" another Saint-level expert chimed in. "Perhaps the other party isn't targeting Clyde, but rather the Holy See."

Upon hearing this, all the Saints present couldn't help but frown.

"Alright, let's not panic now," Haitings said finally, trying to reassure everyone. "Let's all go back first. As for the Kingdom of Fenlai, let them choose a member of the royal family to succeed to the throne. The Kingdom of Fenlai cannot be thrown into chaos."

After finishing his sentence, Haitings took off and flew away.

Soon, the surrounding holy domains also dispersed.

All that remained was the chaotic royal palace.

Meanwhile, after taking Clyde hostage, Linley flew away without returning directly to Wushan Town. Instead, he circled around to make sure he wasn't being followed before returning to Wushan Town.

It sounds like a long time, but in reality, from the moment Lin Lei set off to his return, it only took a little over an hour.

Hogg had been guarding the backyard of the ancestral home. When he saw Linley drop Clyde, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Clyde!!!"

Hogg spoke through gritted teeth, while Clyde looked at Hogg with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Why would Hogg kidnap himself?

Moreover, what gives Hogg the right to order a Saint-level expert around?

But the next moment, Clyde understood everything.

"Hiss~"

Dragon scales began to sprout from Hogg's body, and he instantly transformed into a dragon.

Conversely, Linley, who was beside Hogg, deactivated his dragon form.

Dragonblood Warrior!

This was the first thought that popped into Clyde's mind.

The Baruch family was a renowned dragon-blooded warrior family that swept the continent five thousand years ago.

This was something that almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Finlay knew.

However, as everyone knows, the Baruch family has not produced a new Dragonblood Warrior for over a thousand years.

No one believed that the Baruch family would produce a new Dragonblood Warrior.

Clyde's efforts to win over the Baruch family were not based on Baruch's so-called thousand-year-old aristocracy.

It's because Linley became an apprentice of a level nine mage, and Linley himself has great magical talent, so the possibility of him becoming a level nine mage in the future is very high.

Linley is a Saint-level powerhouse!

This was the second thought that popped into Clyde's mind.

How is that possible?

How old is Lin Lei?

She seems to be under ten years old, right?

A ten-year-old sanctuary?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Ah~~~"

The intense pain brought Clyde back to his senses.

Hogger's claws pierced Clyde's shoulder wound.

Clyde's injuries were beginning to heal thanks to his original level nine warrior physique.

But now, having been stabbed again by Hogg, the intense pain is almost driving Clyde insane.

However, this is only the beginning.

To Hogger, Clyde's screams sounded like heavenly music.

Hogg then reenacted the scene where Linley tormented Paterson.

However, Hogg's methods were more extreme.

First, Clyde's left hand.

Hogg crushed every bone in Clyde's left hand, bit by bit, and then inch by inch, he spread the crushing force from his wrist to his shoulder.

Then came the right hand, right arm, left foot, left leg...

In the end, Clyde, a dignified level nine warrior, could only lie limply on the ground, screaming and howling in agony.

Yes, Clyde is not dead.

The fighting spirit of a level nine warrior was constantly nourishing Clyde.

Despite his severe injuries, Clyde is not actually fatally wounded.

Even if the torment ended there and Clyde were allowed to recuperate for two or three years, he could recover completely.

However, Clyde also felt that it was wishful thinking to expect Hogg and Linley to let him go.

"Kill me." Clyde lay face down on the ground, looking pleadingly at Hogg. "Whatever your purpose, please, kill me."

Having been pampered since childhood, Clyde had never experienced such torture.

Normally, it was Clyde himself who would arrest disobedient ministers and have his servants torture them for him to see.

But now that he has become the one to suffer, Clyde is only thinking about dying quickly.

He'd do anything as long as he wasn't tormented by this pain.

Hogg then crouched down, grabbed Clyde's head, and asked, "Padson captured a woman five years ago and offered her to you. Where is that woman now?"

Clyde, who had long since lost hope of survival, suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Clyde burst into laughter, until Hogg gradually increased the force of his right claw, at which point Clyde's skull began to crack in protest.

"Hogg, it's no use." Clyde stopped laughing, but a mocking smile remained on his face. "She's dead. Not just her, all the women that Paterson gave me are dead. And I gave myself to someone else too, hahahahaha, all dead~~~"

Clyde's appearance caused both Linley and Hogg to frown simultaneously.

"Whom did you give yourself to?" Linley stepped forward and forcefully ripped off Clyde's left ear. "Tell me, and I might let you die a quicker death."

Compared to having his bones shattered inch by inch, Clyde didn't feel much pain when his ear was ripped off.

"Who is that woman to you?" Clyde didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Your sister? No, the age doesn't match, she's your mother, right? Hogg, she's your wife, hahahaha, the woman who brought me so many rewards from the Holy See is actually your wife, Hogg, hahahaha~~~"

Clyde's arrogant smile made Hogg's breathing become much heavier.

"The Church of Light?" Hogg raised his voice involuntarily. "Impossible, how could it be the Church of Light? This is absolutely impossible."

Hogg seemed quite excited.

His wife was arrested because they had just gone to the Church of Light to pray and then checked into a hotel.

As it turns out, the mastermind behind all this was the Church of Light?

How could Hogg accept this?

"Father!" Linley placed his hand on Hogg's shoulder. "I don't think he would lie now. As for the Holy See, give me three years. I'm sure I can destroy them within three years."
