With tears in their eyes, Zi Ao and Gu Yue helped Fengyun up. Then Gu Yue smoothed Fengyun, which was a little messy from flying too fast, and said, "Child, it's been years since we last met. How come your eyes and hair look like this?"

Zi Ao looked at his son, who was equally excited, but his fatherly instincts made him suppress his tears with a burst of fighting spirit. His eyes were a little moist and red as he said, "Sigh, Little Yun rarely comes back. Why are you saying all this?"

He patted Fengyun on the shoulder, and after confirming that his son was healthy, he continued, "So what if his hair and eyes have turned gray? It's not a big deal for a boy to be a little ugly."

Then, turning to Dai Hui beside him, he said, "Dai Hui, don't you think so?"

Fengyun looked at his adoptive father, who had been with him in the Holy Alliance for ten years, and said with a slight sob, "Father, how have you been all these years?"

Dai Hui patted Fengyun's head, composed himself, and said, "Alright, alright, what's wrong with that!"

"Now that I don't have to go to the battlefield, I can already marry three wives here!"

He carefully examined Fengyun's hair and eye color, then turned to Zi Ao and said, "Haha, Zi Ao, actually gray hair and gray eyes are quite handsome!"

Then he looked at Fengyun with concern and asked, "But what's wrong with your eyes and hair, kid? Have you been practicing some special Combat Skill or secret fighting qi manuals?"

As their status rose, Zi Ao and Dai Hui came into contact with more cultivation methods, and they learned that many techniques could change one's fighting spirit and appearance.

Fengyun laughed and said, "My true form hasn't changed at all. This is my clone, so my hair and eyes are gray. Well, it's mainly to distinguish it from my true form."

As he spoke, he adjusted his hair and eye color, changing them to his original black, and said, "I've gotten used to it and forgot to change it."

The divine body of God Level Expert is formed from divine power, so it doesn't matter how you adjust your hair color or eye color. If you really want to, you can even make a multicolored black!

Zi Ao and his group didn't know much about God Level Expert and hadn't been exposed to any related information.

For Gu Yue and Zi Ao, the hair and eye colors were just something to look at for the novelty, as long as they were sure there were no problems.

As for the clone technique mentioned by Fengyun, it can be considered as some kind of peculiar Combat Skill. The Darkness Church has many ways to achieve the mysterious effects of the Profound Mystery of Clone, so it is not new to them.

Gradually, the hall became more lively, with Fengyun at the center, and Huihui's parents also joined in the conversation.

The high-ranking members of the Darkness Church stood around like lackeys, not daring to speak.

After a while, Lily, who had been picked up by Fengyun again, pointed to Affleck beside her and asked, "Brother, did you order Uncle Pope to gather us here today?"

Fengyun Yun knew perfectly well why Zi Ao and the others had been summoned, but he did not ask Affleck about it.

Instead, he glanced at the low-profile, inconspicuous high-ranking members of the Darkness Church standing around him with a slight smirk, and said to Affleck, "Affleck, why don't you leave a few more Angel to fill the remaining positions?"

"Now that they're standing so unevenly, not only is their power weaker, but they also look terrible!"

In the headquarters of the Darkness Church, addressing the Pope by his first name so directly was clearly very impolite. But Affleck had been ignored from the beginning, paused slightly before saying naturally, "It's just a few tricks. What's the use of keeping a few more?"

"To you, sir, it means nothing!"

Although these high-ranking members of the Darkness Church are standing like lackeys, there is a reason for it; they are all standing at the nodes of the great array on the Dark God Temple.

In the event of a conflict, the full power of the array, which is in a semi-activated state, can be unleashed at the fastest speed.

Although it's unlikely to cause any real damage to Fengyun, as the flagship formation of the Darkness Church, it can hold off even God-level Expert like Fengyun for a moment, buying time for Affleck to summon the projection of a powerful being from the upper realm.

As for the fact that there aren't many Saint Realm, it's because these few Saint Realm have already met the minimum requirements for activating the grand formation; the other Saint Realm have all been arranged to leave by Affleck.

If Fengyun were to take action against them, it would at least leave behind a seed for the Darkness Church to rise again.

Affleck's words were almost a showdown, but there was nothing they could do. God Level Expert could easily conceal their little tricks with a single thought, so there was no way to hide it.

Hearing Affleck's words and sensing his resolute intent, Fengyun shook his head and chuckled, "There's no need to talk like that, it's as if I'm about to attack you."

Upon hearing this, the somewhat somber atmosphere in the hall immediately eased considerably, and Okasi and the others looked at Fengyun with hopeful eyes.

As for Affleck and the others, they were already convinced that Fengyun would take action against them. After all, according to the information they had received, Fengyun was planning to establish some kind of Light and Darkness Church.

If that's the case, why keep them around? Don't they think they have enough faith already?

Furthermore, given Fengyun's high-ranking position in the Darkness Church, taking action against the Darkness Church and then consolidating the Dark Alliance's power would be the simplest and easiest way for him to do so.

In any case, if it were them, they couldn't think of any reason not to take action.

The reason they haven't directly broken ties and started fighting so far is purely because they still harbor a sliver of hope and wishful thinking. Now that Fengyun has an overwhelming advantage, yet openly states that they won't make a move, it immediately rekindles their desire to survive.

Having resigned themselves to certain death, they were suddenly struck by the realization that they were not going to die. Overwhelmed with emotion, their very breath became unstable.

Seeing this, Fengyun continued to say to Affleck, "Affleck, over the years, although you have been secretly using my parents and relatives to manipulate me."

"But I must say, it is precisely because of this that I have been able to improve rapidly without any scruples, allowing my strength to reach its current level."

"Regardless of your original intention, I accept this favor!"

He then glanced at the surrounding high-ranking members of the Church and said, "Although I need to build up my power and gather faith now and can no longer stay in the Darkness Church, there is no need for me to do so, and I will not take the initiative to attack you."

"However, the Chaos Territory will belong to me from now on, as compensation for the Chaos Territory Darkness Church's losses there and to repay this favor. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I can help you once in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Affleck and the others' eyes lit up. Not only were they spared from death, but they also received a promise from Fengyun, a God Level Expert, to help them once. They were truly in high spirits at this moment.

With genuine smiles on their faces, Affleck and the others bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Lord Fengyun!"
