Yun Che's gaze was icy as he entered the hidden chamber and hauled out the old man, whose backside was still half exposed.
Terrified, the old man pleaded repeatedly, "Spare me, my lord! Spare me! I was forced into this too."
Yun Che was rather speechless. "Forced? Do you even believe that yourself?"
With that, Yun Che ignored the old man's pleas and swung the Tribulation Lightning Heavenly Sword. A flash of sword light ended his life.
Then Yun Che opened the cages and freed the women imprisoned inside. "You're free. Hurry and leave!"
The women froze for a moment before coming to their senses, their faces filling with joy and gratitude. Some even knelt and kowtowed before hurriedly fleeing this dreadful place.
Next, Yun Che spent some time emptying the Bright Church's treasury before returning to the air, his gaze fixed on the holy land that now resembled a dead city.
"The Bright Church has endured for thousands of years. It's time it vanished into the dust of history."
As his words fell, he unleashed Divine Punishment, the Divine Fall Throne's active skill. Thunder instantly rolled through the sky, countless bolts of lightning crowding together like the end of the world.
Immediately afterward, thick bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky, striking every building of the Bright Church.
The once magnificent palaces and pavilions were blasted apart under the terrifying power of the lightning, reduced to stretches of rubble.
Dust and smoke filled the air, blotting out the sky and sun. The entire site of the Bright Church seemed to have been erased from the continent.
The remnants of the church who had still been clinging to hope and watching from a distance turned ashen at the sight and collapsed to the ground.
