I listened to Dean's advice!

The followers below, however, were like a powder keg that had been lit, instantly erupting into chaos—

"What? Elder Dean, how could you say such a thing?!"

"As the Grand Elder of the Dark Church, you are utterly trampling on the dignity of my Dark Church!"

"That's outrageous!"

Several high-ranking elders in black robes were particularly furious at this moment!
Their chests heaved violently, and spittle flew out of their mouths.

"Dean, you coward!"

"How dare you address an enemy of the Holy See as 'Sir'?!"

"They're just some trash, yet they scared you to death?!"

The believers all looked at Dean with extreme disappointment!

It's hard to believe that their beloved elder has become like this.
"In my opinion, Elder Dean has already become disloyal to the Dark Church!"

"Perhaps he's already secretly colluded with the enemy, otherwise why would he be speaking up for them?"

"So, perhaps there's more to the story than meets the eye regarding the Pope's death?"

……

Amidst the rising and escalating discussions!

People even began to suspect that Dean was the real killer of the Pope!

The look in his eyes gradually turned unfriendly!

See it!

Dean stood on the high platform, his brows furrowed in a deep frown.

Those faces below, filled with fervor!
His eyes gleamed with a desire to rule the earth!

It's like their minds have been clouded by lard!

He knew that no matter how much he talked, they wouldn't listen to a word he said.

therefore!

He simply closed his eyes slowly, and the last trace of anxiety on his face faded away, leaving only silence and helplessness.

"That's all, it's useless to say more."

……

"Gentlemen, the most urgent task at this moment is to elect a new pope!"

And at this time.

Seeing Dean step aside, the black-robed elders immediately took their seats and announced loudly!
"Only after a new pope is elected can we continue to be led!"

"Avenge the old Pope!"

"Purge the traitors!"

"To rule the world simultaneously!"

After making such a statement!
The clamor from the audience suddenly rose eight octaves!

Clearly, this was the original theme of the meeting—

"Elect a new pope!"

Someone shouted first, and like a spark thrown into a pot of oil, it instantly ignited everyone's emotions.

"Elect a new pope!"

Then everyone shouted together!
Several elders in black robes gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then said:
"Alright! Let's begin the election of the new pope right now. Everyone can suggest their ideal candidate!" Upon hearing this...

People started talking all at once!

People with all sorts of names!
but!

But there was a louder voice that drowned out all the noise:

"I propose that the new pope should be chosen from among the elders! After all, each of them is qualified!"

"Of course! Elder Dean is not qualified!"

People quieted down!

Then a new round of noise began:

"Makes sense!"

"I recommend the Third Elder; he's the youngest!"

"I recommend the Fourth Elder; he was the old Pope's most prized student!"

……

Dean watched the farce unfold with cold indifference.

however!
Just as this incredibly heated election was halfway through!

squeak-

A soft sound suddenly came from the doorway!
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound!

There stood a heavy black and gold door that required three people to push open!
At that moment, a figure gently pushed him aside!
A figure walked slowly in against the light.

……

People saw—

He was a young man from the East!

Despite his extremely young face, he possessed a calmness that stood out from the surrounding frenzy, along with a faint smile!
He walked toward the crowd.

His steps were slow and steady, as if he had not stumbled into this dark church filled with blood and violence!
Instead, they strolled leisurely in their own backyard!

The aura surrounding him was light and subtle, yet inexplicably oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"Who is this person?!"

The noise from the audience seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand!
But after a moment of stunned silence!

Anger exploded on everyone's faces again—

"Where did this yellow-skinned brat come from?"

"How dare you trespass on the holy grounds of my Dark Church? Are you tired of living?"

"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Otherwise, we'll grind your bones to dust and throw you to the wild dogs!"

……

And just then!
Dean, who had been silently retreating to the corner, suddenly seemed to have all his strength drained away.

His pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he took two steps back as if he had seen a ghost!

"Lord Lin... Lord Lin Lang, you've arrived."

The moment he finished speaking, his body trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind, and he could barely stand. (End of Chapter)
