After Linley returned to the Kingdom of Fenlai, life became peaceful.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

Privately, Linley used his connections at Yale to find out a lot about the Church of Light.

Although Yale realized that Linley was hiding something.

Moreover, the inquiries were about the Church of Light.

This is a major taboo for the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's current success in the Holy Alliance is largely due to the support of the Holy See.

This is practically tantamount to Yale betraying the Church of Light.

However, Yale still did not report Linley, and even took the initiative to cover for Linley within the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

Monroe may have known, but she made the same decision as Yale.

After arriving in Finlay, Olivia spent most of her time at the Baruch residence on Greenleaf Road.

Linley would occasionally return to Fenlai City to give Olivia some pointers on her cultivation of the laws.

Of course, the main purpose is to explain to Olivia the profound division between the laws of light and darkness.

As for the rest, unless Linley exchanges treasures from the system shop, he can't help Olivia.

In addition, Lin Lei would travel to and from the Monster Mountain Range almost every day.

Lin Lei's goal was also very simple.

Slay monsters to earn energy points.

The Chaos Monument in the shop is not only useful to those around Lin Lei, but also has a significant effect on Lin Lei himself.

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, it was already January of the following year.

There is less than a month left before the start of the school year.

Inside a private room by the window in Finlay City, at the Azure Water Paradise.

Yale, George, and Reno sat in chairs, their brows furrowed.

When Yale and Reno usually come here, they always find a few women to accompany them.

Although the two of them can't do practical work yet, they can still do other things.

But today, neither Yale nor Reynolds has done that.

Beibei stood on the windowsill, looking at the night view outside.

In the sky, only a crescent moon remained.

In the dim light of the night, two figures walked down the street and arrived in front of a hotel in the western part of the city.

The hotel was just an ordinary hotel, and it only had three floors.

Under the lights in front of the hotel, two figures emerged from the shadows.

The man in the black robe was over 1.8 meters tall, but his figure appeared somewhat thin.

The other one, however, was over two meters tall, shrouded in a huge black robe, making him appear exceptionally imposing.

Both men were shrouded in black robes. Without saying a word to the hotel waiter, one of them reached out and knocked the waiter unconscious.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of a room on the third floor.

"Click~"

A man in black robes reached out and easily destroyed the door.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man suddenly jumped up from the bed.

"Light spell!"

The man instantly cast a level one light magic spell, illuminating the entire room as bright as day.

"Shield of Light!"

Immediately afterwards, the other party cast a shield on themselves.

"Light Arrow!"

Another level six light magic spell was cast instantly.

More than a dozen light arrows flew towards the two men in black robes.

"Hmph~"

The gaunt man in black robes snorted coldly, and a black longsword appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

With a swing of his longsword, a vortex blocked and swallowed up all the light arrows.

"Mr. Gilmer!" another man, over two meters tall and dressed in black, spoke, his voice hoarse. "Don't resist. You don't want us to kill you outright, do you?"

As the man in black robes spoke, he took a step forward and appeared beside the middle-aged man.

"Click~"

The shield he just used was only a level 5 spell, which was easily shattered by the black-robed man.

Beneath the black robe, the outstretched hand was covered in fine scales.

From the moment he entered the room to the moment he subdued the middle-aged man, it took only a few breaths.

"Ah~~~~"

At this moment, the woman who had been sleeping on the bed woke up with a start and began to scream.

"Let's go!"

The black-robed man, who was over two meters tall, spoke again, grabbing the middle-aged man with one hand and another black-robed man with the other.

"Bang!"

The hotel roof was breached, and in the blink of an eye, it had left the western city and was flying out of the city.

"Who goes there?" Only then did the Holy Lands of the Holy See in the West and even East Cities react, flying out in droves. "You've repeatedly come to our Holy City to cause trouble; aren't you being far too arrogant?"

Within the Holy Domain of the Holy See of Light, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, dressed in a black robe with gold trim, roared and chased after them, wielding a long staff.

Meanwhile, the man in black robes had already flown out of Fenlai City.

"Take him with you!" The man in black robes handed the middle-aged man to another man in black robes. "I'll catch up with them later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the two men down, then turned around, took out a giant sword, and confronted the gloomy middle-aged man behind him.

"Clang~"

The greatsword and the long staff made a loud bang when they clashed.

But then, the gloomy middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.

Along with the greatsword came hundreds of invisible waves that traveled along the long staff to his hands, and then from his hands to his internal organs.

"Pfft~"

The gloomy middle-aged man turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, which then transformed into four black streaks that surrounded the man in black robes.

In just that brief exchange, he realized that he was no match for the man in black robes.

However, he didn't need to defeat the man in black.

All it takes is to keep this man in black robes occupied for a few breaths.

Once the other holy sites of the Holy See catch up, only death awaits this man in black robes.

"Hmph~"

The man in black robes snorted coldly, having already discovered the gloomy middle-aged man's plan.

The next moment, the figure in black robes swayed, and dozens of figures in black robes appeared in the sky.

Moreover, these dozens of figures in black robes began to flee in all directions.

For a moment, the four black shadows that the gloomy middle-aged man had split into looked at the black-robed men who had scattered around him, somewhat at a loss.

"Useno!" Pope Haitings approached the gloomy middle-aged man. "What happened? Where is he?"

"He got away!" The gloomy middle-aged man, or rather, Usenno, shook his head with a grim expression. "His last move should have been a wind-type law, but he used earth-type laws before that. He's very strong; I was injured with just one move."

Usenno's words caused the Holy Land of the Holy See, which arrived one after another, to show surprise and doubt.

The Church of Light has many enemies.

Among them are those with Saint-level strength.

However, a hidden enemy from the Sanctuary lurks in the shadows.

This is a different concept for the Holy See.

"Investigate thoroughly!" Pope Haitings' expression turned grim. "Starting today, thoroughly investigate all Saint-level experts connected to the Holy See. Not a single one should be let go, especially Saint-level experts with both earth and wind elemental affinities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pope Haitings turned around and went back into the city.

The other holy domains also dispersed.

Meanwhile.

Wushan Town, inside the Baruch Ancestral Home.

A black-robed figure, over two meters tall, fell from the sky.

Lifting his black robe, he revealed his true face, which was none other than Lin Lei after his dragon transformation.

And in the shadows nearby.

Olivia also lifted her black robe and stepped out, grabbing the middle-aged man with one hand.

The middle-aged man had brown curly hair and a high nose bridge.

He was Gilmer, one of the cardinals of the Holy See and a level nine light mage.

"Are you enemies of the Vatican?" Gilmer remained calm, his gaze sweeping over Linley and Olivia. "I've never seen you before. You can tell me your demands. If I can meet them, we wouldn't have come to this, would we?"

"Bishop Gilmer," Linley said, dispelling his dragon form under Gilmer's horrified gaze, "I only want to know one thing: where did the women Clyde abduct go, and are they still alive?"
