At this moment, the Phoenix Mountain Villa was completely silent. The young man held a long sword in his hand, and corpses lay strewn all around him.

Huo Changqing had already entered Berserk State. He had been hit by Chen Wang's Six Souls Heart Refining Curse, and was trapped in memories and inner demons.

However, at this moment, everyone fell and was killed by Chen Wang.

Having lost his target, Huo Changqing's eyes turned bloodshot, and he grabbed Mi Chunlai, one of the three bishops.

Mi Chunlai initially thought Huo Changqing had betrayed him, but later, seeing his behavior, he seemed to have truly gone mad.

At this moment, Mi Chunlai said in horror, "Huo Changqing, what are you doing!"

He shouted loudly.

But Huo Changqing didn't care at all. He grabbed him with both hands and tore him to pieces with a single, sharp tear!

Faced with the berserk Huo Changqing, this former Gene Warrior and later bishop was no match for him and died instantly.

However, Huo Changqing's attacks were unrestricted. After killing Bishop Mi Chunlai, he turned his attention to Chen Wang! Everyone held their breath at this moment.

The aura that Huo Changqing just revealed was extremely violent.

However, when Huo Changqing lunged at Chen Wang, Chen Wang only glanced at him once, and Huo Changqing immediately knelt down! His psychological problems were more serious than Chen Wang had thought. After being hit by the Six Souls Heart Refining Curse, his mental energy was greatly depleted.

Just now, Chen Wang silently recited an incantation and gave him another soul-piercing attack.

At this moment, Huo Changqing knelt on the ground, scenes flashing before his eyes. His mind was already somewhat confused and he was exhausted.

With just one glance, this fifth-tier expert knelt down, a scene even more visually impactful than Chen Wang's previous rampage.

Everyone saw Chen Wang approach Huo Changqing and deliver a swift chop to the neck, causing Huo Changqing's eyes to roll back and him to faint.

After reviewing his resume, Chen Wang concluded that the man had some value and was not a heartless madman, so he kept him on.

Just like Li Weidong who had just collapsed, he was now curled up on the ground in a corner, his eyes rolled back, having also been knocked unconscious by Chen Wang.

Both of them were of good character and had some reputation, so Chen Wang planned to recruit them.

At this point, only Liao Changli and Huang Song remained on the battlefield.

Liao Changli said, "Divine Child, I am convinced."

When he saw the look in the eyes of his officers and soldiers, his heart sank. Even if these men could still obey his orders and attack Chen Wang, at this distance, and with Chen Wang, this God of Slaughter, possessing such unpredictable and treacherous methods, he knew he would not survive.

Liao Changli decided to compromise and feign compliance.

This young man is so meticulous; he should naturally know that a living Liao Changli is more useful than a dead one.

Chen Wang walked over calmly, swung his sword expressionlessly, and with a flash of light, blood splattered everywhere! Liao Changli's head flew off, his body severed from his head.

"That's enough, go down and repent."

Chen Wang swung his sword expressionlessly, and with another strike, he killed Huang Song, who was staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Chen Wang turned around.

His expression was extremely calm as he coldly looked at the fully armed soldiers and officers and said, "Liao Changli, Huang Song, and Mi Chunlai attempted to rebel and defied the will of God, but they have now been executed by me. Their crimes have nothing to do with you. All past transgressions will be forgiven."

"In the future, we will create a new world together, a world of light!"

Chen Wang's words were very inspiring.

The soldiers didn't react immediately upon hearing this, though their eyes showed some excitement.

An officer with a square face immediately pounded his chest with one hand and saluted.

The officers and soldiers simultaneously put away their weapons, pounded their chests with one hand, and saluted.

They looked solemnly at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang slowly walked over, and they parted like the tide.

Behind him lay a pile of corpses, including many Adjudication Team, powerful fourth and fifth-tier experts, and three bishops who had commanded respect throughout the Winter.

But by then they had all died at his hands.

The young man, covered in blood, emerged from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

The soldiers on both sides looked solemn and made way for them.

This scene may remain etched in people's hearts for many years to come.

At this point, Chen Wang had become the incarnation of a god, rather than a divine son in the ordinary sense.

In a sense, in the hearts of those in the Church, He is God.

A god who can lead them out of this quagmire and end this dark age!

Taking over the power of the three men was easier than Chen Wang had imagined.

This time, the officers brought by the three men were all present at the Phoenix Mountain Villa.

The choice between three deceased old men and a young divine being who is now at the height of his power and possesses unfathomable abilities is naturally easy to make.

Moreover, the series of policies introduced by Chen Wang were very popular.

Most of the officers and soldiers were on Chen Wang's side.

This matter quickly spread within the Church.

Moreover, that very afternoon, Elder Song, who had remained neutral, came directly to surrender.

Regardless of how Chen Wang found that hidden villa, the fact that he single-handedly killed two fifth-tier experts, wiped out the entire Adjudication Team, and even recruited a fifth-tier expert, subdued all the soldiers present, and brought the three bishops under the control of that bishop, all while being surrounded and heavily guarded, is remarkable.

This level of strength is already somewhat superhuman and should be deified.

Bishop Song had no psychological burden and surrendered directly, repeatedly stating that he had only been preparing some things and had always wanted to visit him, but had not found any opportunity.

Chen Wang, of course, did not mind this.

Chen Wang did not go on a killing spree after that; he only killed the three bishops and their Adjudication Team.

The Adjudication Team is notorious; killing them would have a positive effect.

Chen Wang did not touch any of the other officers.

Furthermore, he reassured everyone during the meeting, describing the scenario after he introduced his policies, which garnered the support of most people.

At this time, Chen Wang's appeasement policy had a very good effect. Even Lei Guohua praised the young man as a very good politician, but claimed that he did not have the skills of a politician.

A leader who holds a knife but refrains from wielding it, who controls his desires and his capacity to kill, is clearly more reassuring and capable of leading others further.

About a month later, the entire Church was completely transformed and settled down.

Currently, the Council of Elders six bishops, Chen Wang's status within the Church is that of a Son of God.

However, after this battle, he was already known as the incarnation of a god, omnipotent.

Lei Guohua and others originally intended to nominate him as the new Pope.

However, Chen Wang did not like these two words, so he created a new position called Speaker.

The Church has never had the title of Pope since its inception; it merely referenced some cultural elements from before the Winter.

Now Chen Wang has become the Church's young speaker, wielding great power.

He completed this transformation in just a few months.

Join the Church, conquer the Church, and transform the Church into the way you want it to be.

This is actually what most people want.

The soldiers in the Church are human beings, flesh and blood. They prefer a stable life and do not like following a bunch of lunatics.

Chen Wang possesses extremely terrifying strength and an unimaginable record of victories.

Some of the policies he implemented were indeed very attractive, providing them with livelihood security and painting a grand picture for them.

The Church was in a very good position. In the past month or so, the issues involving the Three Great Powers have resurfaced, with various scandals flying everywhere, making it increasingly unpopular.

However, the Church took the initiative to leak their information.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Rather than letting the Three Great Powers change their tune and spread misinformation, it's better to Church ourselves how to spread information.

Through this period of propaganda, it has been revealed that the three bishops had long been corrupt and degenerate, and had strayed from God's path. They had appointed members of the Adjudication Team, causing much harm to the common people of the Winter. At this time, they had been executed by the young speaker of the Church, and the members of the Adjudication Team, those butchers, had also been executed.

As a result, the Church's reputation improved considerably.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Huo Changqing was subdued by Chen Wang.

He also stayed by Chen Wang's side during the parliamentary session.

He was a straightforward man, but he had been persecuted by Three Great Powers and fled to the Church.

Chen Wang's extremely strong combat power in that battle was somewhat unexpected and difficult to understand.

Another thing that is hard to understand is Huo Changqing's loyalty.

The fifth-tier warrior was knocked unconscious by Chen Wang. After regaining consciousness, Chen Wang said something to him, and Huo Changqing expressed his loyalty.

And then there's Li Weidong from the Adjudication Team; he has a pretty good reputation among the lower levels of the Church.

He insisted on washing dishes instead of using his abilities to gain wealth and status for himself. Moreover, many people in the Adjudication Team had been killed by him in the past, and his own squad was also slaughtered by him, because these people did not do human things.

It's actually quite difficult to dislike someone like that.

Both of them declared their allegiance to Chen Wang.

Li Weidong is easy to understand; that's just his personality.

Huo Changqing was somewhat unexpected.

However, at this time, neither the young speaker of the Church nor this renowned fifth-tier warrior were within the Church's sphere of influence.

Nobody knows where they went.

The Qin Family

Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of things being smashed rang out.

This is probably the umpteenth time that the powerful and experienced patriarch of the Qin Family has smashed things.

He was throwing things more and more frequently.

In recent days, the Qin Family has been the first to suffer, receiving special attention from the Church, and their power has declined rapidly.

Originally, among the founding fathers, the Qin Family was relatively powerful, and their descendants were well-educated. However, the Qin Family is now facing special attention.

Moreover, those allies were also secretly betraying the Qin Family and dividing up their power.

This is also a major reason why the Qin Family has recently suffered a loss of vitality.

By this time, they had already received news of the bloody battle at Chen Wang Phoenix Mountain Bloodbath.

Of the three fifth-tier powerhouses, two died and one surrendered, and the entire Adjudication Team was wiped out.

Li Weidong is not mentioned in many versions, after all, his presence in the Church's Adjudication Team is not high.

The news that has been circulating is quite astonishing: Chen Wang was able to fight against three fifth-tier experts, with so many fourth-tier experts assisting him.

The Qin Family patriarch asked Liu Baiying about his most powerful fifth-tier warrior, and Liu Baiying replied that she simply couldn't do that.

It is said that upon hearing this reply, the old patriarch of the Qin Family turned pale instantly.

During this period, he increased his guard.

Chen Wang possesses exceptional assassination skills, which even give him a headache.

His grandson died from Chen Wang's elusive assassination attempt.

The head of the Qin Family was also afraid that Chen Wang would secretly kill him.

In reality, he did not stay at home, but took many covert measures to hide himself.

Even his own son didn't know where this Old Qin was hiding.

Moreover, he didn't bring many people with him.

With so many people around, it's easy for problems to arise.

Having weathered many storms, Old Qin naturally understood this principle, and Chen Wang's achievements back then were indeed quite remarkable.

Old Wang deliberately created a false impression and employed many tactics, yet he was still targeted.

Therefore, Old Qin concluded that Chen Wang had extremely strong investigative abilities.

At that time, he was living in an ordinary residential building in a Shelter. Although it was a civilian area, the environment was not bad.

He even kept it a secret from his own son, but he trusted Liu Baiying completely.

At this moment, besides the few assassins he had trained, he only had Liu Baiying, a fifth-tier warrior, by his side.

The Qin Family can naturally mobilize more than one fifth-tier warrior. However, a fifth-tier expert is extremely conspicuous. If he disappears for a long time, it will definitely attract the speculation of those with ulterior motives, and his whereabouts will be exposed. In that case, it would be better for him to stay in his Qin Family villa.

Everyone knew that Old Qin's temper had become increasingly volatile.

Those powerful Lineage were secretly watching the spectacle unfold, and some were even betting on how many more things Old Qin had broken that day.

But at this moment, the real Old Qin was in this ordinary residential building.

He lived a secluded life, with a few bodyguards taking care of his daily needs.

Liu Baiying stayed in the house with him the whole time and didn't go out.

At this moment, he was playing chess with Liu Baiying. Old Qin was quite good at Go. It was hard to imagine that the old man who had been throwing tantrums and getting furious earlier was now so calm and composed.

Liu Baiying was also quite good at chess, but at this moment he was a little lost in thought, and before he knew it, the game had reached an extremely difficult point.

Old Qin said calmly, "Bai Ying, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Liu Baiying gave a wry smile, "Old Qin, you really have a lot of nerve. The villa has been heavily guarded and its defenses have been strengthened, yet you've quietly slipped out. Isn't that very dangerous?"

Old Qin said, "No matter how strong the defense is, how does it compare to the Phoenix Mountain Villa?"

"That Chen Wang easily won the battle, and now he holds great power, with the entire Church in his hands."

"The power he can mobilize is different from that day."

"Besides, this man acts so erratically. If he brings his men to attack again, can you help me stop him?"

Liu Baiying was speechless.
