Wing Ancestor, Show Your Divine Power!
[Holy Wing Star, Cairo Town.]
[After years of operation and missionary work, Cairo Town has become the stronghold of the Winged Wing Ancestor Sect Wing Ancestor Sect, where its the Church are located.]
Today, Contamination is everywhere, and everyone feels insecure.
The followers of the Wing Ancestor Sect have taken in many Contamination people.
Most of them were ordinary people.
[Some, deeply Contamination and eroded, have lost their reason and can only be imprisoned in the Wing Ancestor Sect's dungeons, provided with food and water to keep them alive.]
[Some of the erosion wasn't too deep; they only showed symptoms of illness. The Wing Ancestor Sect provided medicine and treatment to maintain their vital signs.]
[Although the Wing Ancestor Sect does all this ultimately for the purpose of proselytizing and expanding the influence of its Wing Ancestor Sect.]
[But what they did truly gave many people a glimmer of hope during what felt like the end of the world.]
However, not everyone agrees with the Wing Ancestor Sect's approach.
"Who's in charge here? Come out!"
[Beneath the thick black mist, a group of Winged Race Cultivator clad in uniform Law Artifact and wielding standard-issue spears appeared above the main the Church of the Wing Ancestor Sect in Cairo Town.]
They are the law enforcement team of the Code Department of the Proud Wing Kingdom.
[This Proud Wing Kingdom is the kingdom established on the Holy Wing Star by the ancestors of Dalabung.]
[The entire Holy Wing Star nominally belongs to the Proud Wing Kingdom.]
[Sotuofeiren walked out unhurriedly, wearing a long black robe and a tall Archbishop's crown, his eyelids drooping, with a charlatan-like expression.]
["Who are you people? Why are you shouting like that? How rude!"]
[Enforcement Captain Daksei snorted, took a scroll from his waist, unrolled it, and read it aloud.]
"According to Law No. 787 of this year from the Code Department, all mortals whose sanity has been Contamination must undergo harmless disposal! We have received reports that this place is harboring many mortals who have lost their minds. We now demand that you hand over these people and deal with them immediately!"
[The term "mortals" here doesn't just refer to Human Race, but to all those without cultivation, including the Winged People.]
[Sotuofeiren waved his long sleeves, looking quite dignified.]
[Actually, this outfit was thick and heavy. He's a Winged Race with lots of feathers, and this was a down jacket over a cotton-padded coat. He was so hot that he was secretly fanning himself with his large sleeves.]
"Regardless of their race, whether they are mortal or not, whether they have been Contamination or not, my sect cannot stand by and watch them die. Now you want me to kill them all? This sect leader cannot do that!"
[The Xuanlan Four Heroes have stood beside Sotuofeiren; they've truly become his protectors.]
These five guys have pretty good cultivation aptitude.
[They were already Martial God back in the Void Realm.]
[Having previously resided on Spirit Micro Star, a Second-Class Star, and later moved to Holy Wing Star, a First-Class Star, and always held a superior position, the resources available to them were relatively abundant.]
[All five of them are now at the Desolate Realm, and they still have a fighting chance against this enforcement team.]
"Stop pretending to be a charlatan! I don't care what your religion is! Either enforce the law, or you'll all be treated as traitors!"
Sotuofeiren was inwardly panicking.
[But at this moment he had confidence, so he stood firm.]
"What arrogance! Let's see who dares to harm the children of the Wing Ancestor!"
[The Xuanlan Four Heroes were watching with extreme envy.]
[You've got all the show-off going on, while the four of us are just background noise all day.]
"Resisting the law! Destroy this Evil Cult! Execute these heretics!"
Before the enforcement team could even act, residents from the surrounding towns had already swarmed in.
"Gentlemen! Stop! The Wing Ancestor Sect are Good person!"
"The Wing Ancestor truly existed! He wasn't a fictional god! He was our ancestor!"
"They don't charge us money, they don't ask us to do corvée labor, they just come to help and rescue us!"
Seeing so many residents, the enforcement team couldn't directly take action against the crowd, so they patiently persuaded them.
"Don't be silly! There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
The legitimate the Church is the one that collects membership fees from you and sends you to work in the mines!
This so-called Wing Ancestor Sect, who knows where it came from? On the surface, they don't seem to want anything from you, but who knows what they're plotting against you behind your back!
There are no selfless people in this world!
This is definitely a Evil Cult, wake up!
[You know what, Captain Daksei is actually right.]
But the townspeople don't see it that way.
[An elderly Winged Race Old Woman, using her wings, which could no longer fly, as a cane, limped to the foot of Daksei, raised her head, and pleaded with him, who was hovering in mid-air.]
"Captain, please, please stop targeting the Wing Ancestor Sect, okay?"
My whole family has been a believer in the Beautiful Feather Sect for thirty years. I've paid the faith fee of 10,000 Pride Coin a year for thirty years. We've lost our cows and our fields. My three sons are still herding sheep on the Beautiful Feather Sect's farm and haven't come back for ten years.
Now that we finally have a religion that doesn't charge fees or require corvée labor, you insist on calling it Evil Cult. Do you think we don't know whether it's cult or not?
The enforcement captain had no interest in listening to the Old Woman any further and casually slapped her away.
"Nonsense! Anyone who tries to stop us will be executed on the spot!"
[A figure leaped from the crowd, unfurling six pairs of white wings with a wingspan exceeding five meters, and caught the Old Woman had been knocked away, placing her steadily on the ground.]
The enforcement team was visibly stunned upon seeing that this Winged Race had twelve wings.
"A member of the royal family?"
[The Winged Race are born with white wings on their backs, but the number varies.]
[Most people only have one pair; these Winged Race are mostly mortals.]
[A creature with two pairs of wings must be Cultivator.]
[Those with three pairs can be considered geniuses, or even those with relatively rare Bloodline.]
[Four pairs, five pairs, six pairs—those are the rarest of the rare, the most uncommon in the entire universe.]
[However, in the Proud Wing Kingdom Holy Wing Star, one can often see Winged Race with six pairs of wings.]
[They are indeed of the legitimate Bloodline of the Proud Wing Kingdom's royal family!]
[And the Winged Race before them, who appears to be royalty, is none other than Dalabung!]
[Dalabung folded his wings and said calmly.]
"I left the royal family long ago and established my own sect. In the process of recruiting believers, I discovered the Wing Ancestor Sect. I was attracted by their doctrines. I admire this agent from the Void Realm, and I yearn to one day meet the ancestors of our Winged Race, even if it is in the Eternal Heaven."
The enforcement captain dared not fly any longer, landed on the ground, and bowed to Dalabung.
"Are you also a follower of the Wing Ancestor Sect?"
"Exactly."
"Aren't they Evil Cult?"
"What Evil Cult can dispel Contamination and restore clarity to the world?"
[Everyone was shocked.]
"The Wing Ancestor Sect has the ability to dispel Contamination?!"
[Before he finished speaking, Sotuofeiren suddenly spread his arms wide, pointed to the sky, and shouted at the top of his lungs.]
["Wing Ancestor! Show your power!! Dispel the Contamination for us!!!"]
