Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 715 Holy Light Church

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, the French Emperor smiled slightly and stopped asking about Bai Qi's background. He simply glanced at the husky and the absurd clown beside Bai Qi.

"I don't think I've seen either of these pets before. It seems you're quite an excellent breeder, young man."

The Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "Our Myriad Laws Empire recruits all kinds of talents. Young brother, have you considered joining us?"

"A breeder? Sorry, I'm not."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately rejected the Emperor's statement, glancing around as he considered how to escape.

Although it felt good to have direct contact with a famous figure in human history like the French Emperor... no, a super famous figure, he was not from this era after all. If the French Emperor noticed anything amiss, it would be very troublesome.

He didn't think he could fool the French emperor's wisdom.

What? You're saying the Emperor might not be able to find out?

Just kidding. How could someone who popularized runes to all of humanity and incidentally built an unprecedentedly powerful empire be a fool?

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have some matters to attend to, so..."

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately suggested to the Emperor that he leave, but before he could finish speaking, a loud voice came, and then a group of fully armed knights, enveloped in holy light, came from the west.

"Holy Light? Could it be the Borg family? No, in this era, it should be the Holy Light Church?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi's eyes sharpened. He wondered if he could extract any information about the Death Table from the Church a thousand years ago.

Perhaps he could have nipped the Death Table in the bud a thousand years ago?

Bai Qi was lost in his thoughts for a long time. When he came to his senses, the Holy Light Knights had already arrived in front of the two of them.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect to see you here. Please forgive my rudeness."

A blond man in a red robe approached the French emperor and bowed respectfully.

"So it's Bishop Samuel. What brings you all to the south?"

Upon seeing the cardinal appear, the French emperor's smile vanished instantly, replaced by the majesty of an emperor. Bai Qi couldn't help but admire the speed at which he switched between these two expressions.

"We received a divine message from the Lord that this place would be corrupted by darkness, so the Pope sent me here to cleanse the darkness."

Upon hearing Samuel's words, the French Emperor smiled and said, "Sending a cardinal to such a remote place to cleanse the darkness, the Pope is truly thoughtful."

"Unfortunately, it seems you're too late."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Samuel's eyes, which then switched to a respectful expression as he bowed to the French Emperor.

"With His Majesty's personal presence, a mere natural disaster of the dead is naturally no problem."

Samuel paused, then said, "However, the undead are masters of disguise. His Majesty is extremely busy and may not be able to stay long. Our Holy See is willing to take His Majesty's place..."

Before Samuel could finish speaking, a flash of light came from afar and landed in front of the two of them. Immediately afterwards, Enma Legend appeared carrying a skeletal skull.

"No need to trouble Bishop Samuel, I'm fine here."

A sharp aura emanated from Yama Legend, aimed directly at Samu, abruptly interrupting Samu's words.

Seeing Samuel's aggressive approach, Samuel smiled and said, "So the Legend of Yama is here too. Indeed, our Holy See has been presumptuous."

Samuel bowed slightly to the two men and said, "Your Majesty and the Legend of Yama must have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. The Holy Light Knights will be stationed here for a period of time. If needed, Your Majesty can summon us at any time."

After saying that, Samuel led the Holy Light Knights back the way they came, showing no intention of entering the City of No Risk.

"Your Majesty, the Holy See probably already knew about the Scourge of the Undead, didn't it?"

Yama Legend watched the Holy Light Knights leave and said...

"Yeah, those ferocious beasts I encountered on the way were probably lured out by them."

Emperor Fa nodded slightly, a barely perceptible hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, which he quickly concealed. He smiled at Bai Qi and said, "Young brother, I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you for a drink, so that I can express my gratitude to you."

"Of course, if you're not willing, young man, I won't force you..."

"Not at all, not at all!"

No sooner had the Emperor finished speaking than Bai Qi accepted the Emperor's invitation, a change in attitude that surprised even the Emperor.

This young man is quite interesting.

"In that case, please follow me."

The Dharma Emperor smiled, looked at Yama Legend, and said, "Yama, you are in charge of making arrangements for the army."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yama Legend knelt on one knee and then flew towards the main road next to Wuxian City. He could vaguely see an army marching towards them.

So this is the reinforcement the city wall defenders were talking about?

The French Emperor is personally leading the team, and even the Holy Light Knights have come. Could something be about to happen here?

Bai Qi glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the Holy Light Knights until he heard the Emperor's call, at which point he followed.

……

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that you, Brother Bai Qi, are not only powerful, but also have such a profound understanding of runes."

The Emperor made no attempt to hide his admiration for Bai Qi and extended another invitation, saying, "Bai Qi, are you really not considering joining our Myriad Laws Empire? Name your price, as long as you're willing!"

The Emperor's face was full of sincerity, but Bai Qi still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm a person who hates trouble, so I'd better not."

"Since that's the case, then I won't insist."

The Emperor looked somewhat regretful, then asked curiously, "Bai Qi, you said you originally lived in seclusion with your teacher, and this time you've come out to gain experience?"

"That's right. My teacher wanted me to go out and broaden my horizons. Studying behind closed doors won't help improve my skills."

Bai Qidao.

"That's true."

The Dharma Emperor smiled and said, "But Bai Qi, you've already reached the Legendary level, and your teacher only sent you out to gain experience. It seems your teacher is quite powerful."

"Indeed very powerful."

Bai Qi nodded. Although the Dharma Emperor was also very strong, Bai Qi could still sense the difference between him and Bai Heguang.

Neither the Dharma Emperor nor the Yama Legend had their pet beasts reach the demigod realm. Although both were legendary, their auras were quite different.

Perhaps it's due to the limitations of the world.

"Your Majesty, may I ask about Bishop Samuel from earlier? They were probably here to help defend the city, but Your Majesty seemed..."

Bai Qi hesitated, as conflicts between imperial and divine power were common everywhere, let alone in this extraordinary world.

He asked the question knowing the answer already, simply to try and gather information about the Holy Light Church.

"That's right, I hate the Holy Light Church."

The French Emperor's words were startling, and he made no attempt to hide anything, leaving Bai Qi, who had originally intended to ask more subtly, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Bai Qi, you really know nothing about the outside world."

Seeing this, the French Emperor patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "Almost everyone in the dynasty knows that I don't have a good impression of the Papacy, so it's hardly a secret."

"I don't mind turning powerful pets into gods and having the people of the empire worship them. After all, proper faith can help humanity persevere longer in adversity."

"I absolutely cannot tolerate the idea of ​​sacrificing one's will and even everything for one's beliefs!"

After listening to the Dharma Emperor's explanation, Bai Qi immediately understood.

No wonder the Papacy disappeared after the Dynasty of Ten Thousand Laws; it seems it was dissolved by the French Emperor.

"Sorry, I couldn't help but say a few more words."

Seeing the strange expression on Bai Qi's face, the Emperor realized his lapse in composure.

"I don't know why, but I feel a strange sense of closeness to you, and I even told you these things."

A sense of familiarity?

Wow, does this old man, the French Emperor, have some kind of perverse sense of humor?

Bai Qi's eye twitched, and he silently took a step back. The Dharma Emperor continued, "Although it carries a bit of personal emotion, I still suggest that you, Bai Qi, do not get involved with the Holy Light Church, otherwise it may affect your training."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded slightly and stopped asking about the Holy Light Church.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what brings you to Wuzhan City all of a sudden?"

"I wasn't originally supposed to come, but the Twilight Great Tomb in Makino Hills has been acting strangely lately, so I came to check it out myself."

The Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "Speaking of which, I sensed a powerful shadow force on the battlefield just now. Was it your pet beast, Bai Qi?"

"Your Majesty's perception is indeed very strong."

Bai Qi shrugged and summoned Alpha directly.

Although Alpha returned to the secret realm immediately after the Fadi appeared, it was clearly unrealistic to expect to keep it from the Fadi.

"This is my pet Alpha, an undead. I didn't summon it just now to avoid trouble."

"The undead race... seems to have some dragon-like aura? Your teacher actually let you contract undead creatures. It seems Bai Qi, you really need to stay away from the Holy Light Church."

The Emperor carefully sensed the aura emanating from Alpha and couldn't help but sigh.

Even a thousand years later, when the Federation was much more accepting of all kinds of creatures, it was only after the White and the Light that it truly accepted the undead race.

In this era, those who dare to contract with and are capable of contracting with undead creatures are generally not good people; in the words of the Holy Light Church, they are heretics!

"That's true."

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "But Your Majesty, rest assured, Alpha is different from other undead creatures; it won't attack others indiscriminately."

The French Emperor nodded slightly, about to say something, when a blade of light suddenly pierced through the wall and flew towards Alpha.

Seeing this, Alpha immediately drew the Sword of Annihilation, shattering the blade's light, and then unleashed another slash, attacking the figure rushing from behind the wall.

"Your Majesty, I sense the presence of a legendary undead here. Are you alright?"

As Yama blocked Alpha's longsword, he nervously looked around. When he saw Bai Qi with an innocent look on his face and the Dharma Emperor with a strange smile, he was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, are you... alright?"
