Haitings's Fury, Lin Lei Captured
Hearing this, Heidens smiled faintly and said, "Aside from your outburst just now and the commotion from your previous battle, I haven't found any other unusual movements of the elements in Fenlai City."
"This situation indicates that the Dark Saint did not attempt to flee with all his might after making his move. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I arranged for Angel to surround Fenlai City as soon as I sensed the commotion of your battle."
"That Dark Saint is definitely within the territory of Fenlai City right now. No matter how many secrets this matter has, everything will be clear once we capture the other party."
Fifteen minutes later
The smile on Heidens' face vanished, replaced by a grim expression as he looked at the Angel Landan who was reporting to him. His tone was tinged with anger as he said, "You said there are no other Saint Realm experts in Fenlai City?"
"Not only the Dark Saint, but we haven't found any other Saint Realm from any other force either."
This is the second time, and unlike the last time outside the city, this time the other party made a move right under his nose.
They simply didn't take him, the Pope of Light, seriously. If they had captured him, that would have been fine, but judging from Landan's report, it seems that the Dark Saint has escaped again.
Even with the composure that Heidens had cultivated over his many years as Pope, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Landan replied again, "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
"Apart from our members, there are no other Saint Realm- level beings in the city."
"As for the Dark Saint that attacked Lord Steller, I suspect that it was either extremely fast and escaped before we surrounded Fenlai City."
"Or they were extremely skilled at stealth and managed to slip away in the crowd before the city was sealed off."
After a long silence, Heidens said, "Search! Search the entire Fenlai City again!"
"Also, you will take the Angel directly to perform the Brilliant Gaze Ritual, specifically targeting Fenlai City. I need you to confirm with 100% certainty as quickly as possible whether that Dark Saint has truly escaped Fenlai City."
Upon hearing this, Landan immediately went to carry out the order without saying a word.
Half an hour later
Still unable to find the Dark Saint, Landan brought a monster covered in scales to Heidens's side. This monster was none other than Lin Lei in his Dragonization.
Landan bowed and reported, "Your Pope, we still haven't been able to find that Dark Saint, but one of my Angel has spotted this fellow trying to escape while mixed in with the crowd."
"Based on his physical characteristics, this monster should be the Lin Lei that Lord Steller mentioned."
In fact, besides Lin Lei, Beibei was also discovered at the same time.
Although they both knew that the assassination attempt on Clyde involved the Saint Realm and that things had escalated, they initially followed Fengyun's instructions and fled separately.
After confirming their safety, the human and the rat reunited through the connection between their souls. They planned to flee Fenlai City, but unfortunately, they were discovered by Angel.
Given Lin Lei and Beibei's strength, they naturally had no ability to resist the Angel. Lin Lei was captured directly, while Beibei, taking advantage of her small size, kept trying to burrow into hidden places and eventually escaped by burrowing underground using her size and speed advantage.
At this moment, Clyde, who had survived thanks to the Scroll of Destiny's Protection, saw Lin Lei knocked unconscious and immediately told him about Lin Lei's reasons for seeking revenge and the death of his mother.
How could Heidens forget that the sacrifice of Lin Lei's mother, Linna, led to the rise of the Light Church and its eventual overthrow of the Darkness Church?
Upon hearing this, Steller realized that the existence of such a rift meant there was no possibility of getting Lin Lei to submit to the Light Church.
He immediately said in a sinister tone, "Your Majesty, since that's the case, let me handle this Second Greatest Magical Genius in History. This kid might know something about that Dark Saint."
Heidens nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle, but don't use any violent methods. After all, he's the Second Greatest Magical Genius in History, and Dragon Blood Warrior."
"Whether it's used as a vessel for Angel or to perform a divine consecration ceremony to make him one of the fanatics, it's a very good choice."
Steller chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Pope. The Inquisition means at his disposal to uncover all the secrets we want to know without harming him."
Steller wasn't joking. Their Inquisition was open to all sorts of practitioners, including the Inquisition's director Wushenuo, who practiced the Darkness Law and had various methods to bewitch minds.
Three days later, outside the city
Led by Ma Yi, Daili arrived at a small hillside and looked at Feng Fengyun, who was lying on the hillside using Pangpang as a pillow to sleep and sunbathe. She asked in confusion, "Why did we come to a place like this to deliver intelligence today?"
Fengyun shrugged and said, "Aren't you tired of meeting and exchanging information in the practice room all the time?"
In fact, Fengyun chose this beautiful place to meet Daili because he discovered that Saint Realm would randomly release their Spiritual Power to investigate whether there were any abnormalities in Fenlai City from time to time. Even the Special Warfare Camp, a direct subordinate of the Light Church, was not spared.
After all, he didn't want to be overheard while he and Daili were discussing certain secrets.
Daili sighed, "Those of us in this line of work don't have the right to be picky."
However, even though that's what she said, she still made Ma Yi lie down, leaning against Ma Yi and enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.
"Alright, tell us what intelligence you've gathered quickly. The Light Church has been acting crazy again these past two days, making the whole city tense."
Upon hearing this, Fengyun stretched lazily and said nonchalantly, "Oh, so you're probably looking for me!"
Upon hearing this, Daili was taken aback and asked, "Looking for you?"
Fengyun glanced at Daili, his eyes filled with clarity and relaxation. Before Lin Lei took action, his adoptive father Dai Hui and Huihui Hui had already gone to Hess City under the guise of exploring the business environment.
In preparation for Fengyun and Huihui's future wedding, to give them a grand and unforgettable ceremony, his adoptive father Dai Hui, was also invited to Hess City, supposedly to observe the wedding customs of other cities along the way for reference.
Judging by the time, they should have already arrived in Hess City by now, and Huihui should have already received the letter she asked the old man to give her.
He might have already led his men to the Dark Alliance as instructed in his letter.
Thus, he had no more attachments in the Light Church.
Today, Daili came to meet him to report his true strength and let the Darkness Church know his true value, so that his parents in the Dark Alliance would not be neglected and that his parents would have another layer of protection.
