The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Knowing full well the nature of the Watchers, Li Tiandu lowered his head without changing his expression and asked in return:

"Perhaps entrusting you to Yan Rulong was a mistake. Have you ever considered this question..."

"Do guardians symbolize justice? Do gods necessarily represent evil?"

"Who decides all of this?"

"What binds you is not only your actions, but also your thoughts."

“You don’t understand, that’s okay, God loves the world.”

"Even a lost child like you can be reborn in her arms."

Li Tiandu spoke faster and faster, exuding an aura that made people involuntarily believe him.

Enveloped by the light, Margaret and her companion, stripped of their power by the chains of shadow, fell into a coma.

But Ning Feng remained unaffected, responding coldly:

"God does not love people. If she truly loved you, why wouldn't she just send them back to you?"

His aura calmed, and the aged fallen angel, with deep and distant eyes, quietly said:

"This is a trial, a test of my loyalty."

"……Yeah?"

Ning Feng nodded somewhat listlessly. He had expected this answer, but he still felt disappointed.

"Indeed, you can't be described as stupid at all now."

There is no cure.

"never mind……"

Ning Feng had had enough of continuing this riddle-like conversation with Li Tiandu. His plan to make Li Tiandu realize the truth had already fallen apart before it even took shape.

There's only one thing left to do.

Let this all end between the two of us.

"By the way, this is not a request."

He clapped his hands, and a bright light began to emanate from his body. The shadow chains binding Margaret and the others instantly loosened, and he dragged them quickly to Jiang Wan's side.

Turning his head, Ning Feng smiled gently at Jiang Wan and said softly:

"I'll handle things here. Take your teammates and leave first."

No!

Jiang Wan was about to refuse, but she stopped before she could speak because of Ning Feng's calm and gentle gaze.

Sensing Jiang Wan's strong resistance, Ning Feng raised his hand and gently ruffled her disheveled white hair, which was messed up from the battle, and said softly:

"Be good, listen to me."

"Don't worry, I won't die. You won't have the chance to read my eulogy."

"Trust me, I would never lie to you."

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from him, Jiang Wan didn't know where this power came from, but she knew he must have paid a price.

Perhaps, it will come at an unimaginable cost.

Looking intently into Ning Feng's eyes, seeing the familiar calm in his bloodshot eyes, Jiang Wan took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.

Without arguing or crying, she demonstrated the behavior a soldier should exhibit on the battlefield.

Jiang Wan helped the unconscious Margaret and Yun Shuchang to their feet, then retreated out of the church without looking back.

However, just before leaving, Jiang Wan turned to Ning Feng and said:

"Don't die carelessly."

"And... I have something to tell you later."

She never looked at Li Tiandu again.

bang.

The church doors slammed shut the moment she stepped out, and Jiang Wan and the two men fell to the ground at the entrance.

But when she turned around, she couldn't see anything. The church behind her seemed to have vanished into thin air!

"Ning Feng..."

Silently chanting, she got up and gritted her teeth to keep walking.

"I haven't told you about that yet..."

"You must not die."

……

……

"Honestly, she even set some unrealistic goals for me before she left... What a headache this woman is."

Ning Feng looked away, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Are you praying for me?

Or are you cursing me?

During the time Jiang Wan left, Li Tian remained silent, neither stopping her nor supporting her.

He kept staring silently at Ning Feng, who had his back to him, his dark eyes scanning over every part of him, as if trying to see through his appearance to understand his true nature.

Finally, when only the two of them remained in the empty church, Li Tiandu said to Ning Feng, who had turned around:

“I really didn’t expect... that you were also a chosen one chosen by the gods.”

The chains formed by divine power were instantly taken over, causing Li Tian, ​​who was originally about to take action, to hesitate.

"Gods? No."

As the bat wings behind him spread out, the radiance emanating from Ning Feng began to darken, eventually turning into a chilling dark red.

"This is... the power of a demon."

From the abyss.

"It's just the two of us left... Well then, thank you again for not interrupting our farewell just now."

A warm smile appeared on his aged face, and Li Tiandu chuckled softly:

"It's nothing, I also hope you can survive."

Uh-huh.

Ning Feng nodded in agreement and sighed:

"Truly worthy of being called a merciful priest, so..."

His smile turned malicious as Ning Feng observed Li Tiandu's expression and asked seriously:

"How much longer do you need to delay your ceremony?"

Do you need me to give you some time too?

the first time.

Li Tiandu's expression stiffened.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Do Not Be Gentle

"What? Surprised?"

Although it was only for a moment, Ning Feng still caught that fleeting stiffness and nodded with satisfaction.

He laughed happily.

With no one else around and no worries about the future, Ning Feng no longer needed to bother maintaining a facade of kindness.

He began to indulge his negative tendencies.

I showed my cards, I stopped pretending.

You're a little scared.

I'm really not a good person!

"you……"

Before Li Tiandu could finish speaking, Ning Feng pointed directly to the spot where Li Tiandu's shadow fell, a seemingly empty ground.

"I'm not bluffing. I'm talking about the altar there. Do I need to elaborate?"

silence.

The unspoken silence eventually turned into a sigh with an ambiguous meaning.

"Ugh……"

The old man stared at the young man, whose features were still vaguely recognizable from his childhood, as if he had finally removed a mask of falsehood, and asked with surprise:

When did you discover this?

Shrugging, Ning Feng did not step forward. Instead, he flapped his bat wings and floated up to a height where he was at eye level with Li Tiandu.

"As a return gesture for your generous act just now, you can now try it and see if I am really bluffing."

"But you can give up hope. Unless I die, it will remain unusable."

Then, ignoring the other party's reaction, Ning Feng began to speak on his own:

"As for the reasons, the hints you gave me were surprisingly numerous."

He counted on his fingers as if reciting a familiar story:

"For example, after I entered the church, you silently took a step forward, but when I stopped, you stopped moving forward and your body relaxed... What were you afraid of being discovered?"

"As you spoke, you silently flew higher, deliberately diverting my gaze from your feet."

"Furthermore, among the countless altars scattered throughout the central area, the most crucial central part is missing."
