After being subtly mocked by Ludwig, Leon was clearly embarrassed.

The other adventurers around were whispering among themselves.

Even the knights around him were looking at him with an indescribable strangeness.

Leon took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down; he didn't want to continue losing his composure in front of everyone.

"Ludwig, no matter what, your decision is a betrayal of the Temple of Light, and the Temple will not let this go."

He attempted to use the authority of the temple to suppress Ludwig.

To his surprise, Ludwig completely ignored him, giving him only a cold glance and not bothering to pay him any attention.

Enraged, Leon gritted his teeth and said, "Templar Knights, heed my command!"

The knights in armor standing nearby instinctively straightened up and replied, "Yes!"

"Ludwig, the former High Priest of the Temple of Light, has been confirmed to have betrayed the Temple. In the name of the current High Priest, I order you to arrest him immediately and bring him back to the Temple for trial!"

"!!!"

The knights were stunned when they heard the order, staring at Leon in disbelief.

"What are you standing there for? You're not even obeying the High Priest's orders? Do you also want to betray the Temple?"

"Leon shouted sternly."

The knights shuddered. Those who betrayed the temple would suffer the most severe punishment, stripped of their honor, and even expelled from their families, forced to become wanderers across the continent.

On this continent, the God of Light is the faith of everyone.

Therefore, the Temple of Light, as the embodiment of the gods' representatives, possesses absolute authority on this continent.

They even have more say than the nation.

The knights exchanged glances, hesitated for a long time, and then stepped forward.

The leading knight gave Ludwig a troubled look. "Lord Ludwig, excuse me..."

“He is a traitor to the Temple, you don’t need to call him ‘sir’.”

With a smug look in his eyes, Leon interjected with a cold laugh.

"Yes!"

The knights dared not disobey Lenn's words and had no choice but to do as he instructed.

A few knights are nothing; Ludwig could take care of them with a wave of his hand.

Just as he was about to silently recite the incantation, the person behind him suddenly pulled him back, causing him to involuntarily take a step back.

Warmth pulled Ludwig behind her, her beautiful eyes wide as she glared at Leon and his group. "Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten my people on my turf? Who gave you the audacity?"

Leon frowned and snapped, "Who are you? This is an internal matter of the Temple of Light. We are arresting traitors. If you obstruct us, you will be making an enemy of the Temple."

Wen Nuan scoffed, "The Temple of Light? Is that so great? Here, I'm the one who calls the shots! I don't care about any temple or traitors."

She crossed her arms and gave him a disdainful look. "You think you can show off with just a few lackeys? You want to arrest people? Don't you even know if you're worthy?"

Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at these people and continued, "You say he's a traitor, so he is? Who knows if you're just using this as an opportunity to settle personal scores and eliminate dissidents? With your sharp tongue and narrow-mindedness, how could you become a high priest? The Temple of Light's judgment isn't very good either."

It's just a dilapidated church, why are they making a temple out of it? They really think they're something special!

Warmth was quite disdainful.

The adventurers around were secretly astonished by Wen Nuan's sharp words.

This little girl has a really sharp tongue.

Some even couldn't help but chuckle.

Standing behind Wen Nuan, Ludwig looked at the back of the figure blocking his way and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The anger that had risen in his eyes when he saw Leon and his group vanished in an instant.

Chu Ze watched as Wen Nuan protected that birdman. Although he was a little annoyed, he didn't say anything.

After all, that guy is one of their restaurant's employees, and there's no reason for them to let outsiders bully him.

So even though he was a tiny bit dissatisfied, he still stood there obediently.

It's closer to that group of scattered adventurers to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and doing something sabotage.

Hall stood on the other side in tacit agreement, his mental energy locking onto the entire hall.

As for Xuanxiao, he can stand anywhere.

After all, all of them combined are no match for him.

Lenn trembled with anger at the warmth. "You...you ignorant woman, how dare you slander the temple and insult the clergy."

"You're the woman, your whole family are women!"

I'm still a virgin, what's with all this talk about "woman" and "wife"? It sounds awful!

Wen Nuan curled her lip in disdain, "Besides, so what if they are clergy? They're just ordinary people, they don't have an extra mouth or two hands, what's so great about them?"

After all this time, Wen Nuan finally understood that the bureaucracy on this Western Fantasy Continent was even more severe than that on their Blue Star.

At least on Earth, there are still human rights and legal constraints.

Here, whether you live or die depends entirely on what these people say.

She was getting impatient, and said in a deep voice, "I'm giving you one minute to get out of my shop right now, or I can't guarantee that something unpleasant won't happen."

"You?!" Leon laughed angrily. "You ignorant woman who doesn't know your place, today I'll show you the power of this priest, so you'll know what awe is!"

Lenn looked disdainful. He decided to cast a high-level spell from the Temple of Light, firstly to intimidate this arrogant woman, and secondly to show the knights and adventurers his strength and save face.

After saying this, he raised his hands, muttered incantations, and his body radiated a dazzling golden light.

The light gradually converged into a huge halo, which hovered above his head. The runes on the halo flickered, seemingly containing endless power.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding adventurers retreated in fear, knowing full well the power of such light magic.

Warmth remained calm and composed, and even took the time to turn around and mutter to Ludwig behind her, "I've wanted to say this for a long time, but the casting time for your magic is way too long."

In that time, she could have finished several rounds of fighting.

Wen Nuan stood there motionless, muttering, "What a piece of junk, all that mystification, like a giant light bulb."

The enormous halo shot rapidly toward Wen Nuan, and the knights beside him felt the immense magical power emanating from it, their faces filled with awe.

But what happened next completely surprised them.

Just as the halo was about to approach the woman, it suddenly stopped, as if blocked by something, unable to go any further.

"No, impossible!" Lenn cried out in disbelief.

Warmth chuckled.

What's impossible? She has a super-powerful bodyguard, Xiao Liu, who provides 6-degree protection.

No one can hurt her except by heavenly lightning!

Before Leon could finish speaking, the halo suddenly flew back to him uncontrollably, and at an even faster speed.

Leon couldn't dodge in time, and the halo struck him directly, instantly enveloping him.

The powerful impact sent him flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Leon was already standing at the doorway, and this time he "threw" the person out of the store.

When the light faded, Leon was seen in tattered clothes, his priest's robes were in pieces, his hair was disheveled, and his face was full of terror and disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?" Leon struggled to get up, but couldn't, and even coughed up blood.

Wen Nuan stood at the door, hands on her hips, a mocking smile on her face. "With your mediocre skills, you can't even compare to half of Ludwig's! I think your title of High Priest is nothing but empty boasting."

Behind her, heads craned their necks to watch the spectacle.

The knights looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

They had assumed that High Priest Leon, with his powerful magic, would easily subdue the woman, but they never expected things to turn out this way…
