241: Confession, plan!

After finishing a multi-player match, Chen Beixuan rushed to Light City without stopping.

At this moment, he stood outside the Light Church, boredly surveying the surrounding buildings.

The retro architectural style made him feel as if he had returned to medieval Western Europe, always feeling like there were vampires locked in some basement.

Or perhaps werewolves were hiding in the forest outside the city.

In summary, he watched too many vampire movies in his previous life.

Tap tap tap!

Hasty, hurried footsteps approached.

An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in luxurious clerical robes, came into view, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"You... are Old Man Chen? A Chaos Mage?"

Although he had caught a glimpse of him in the Demon Realm, he had never met him up close, so to be safe, he asked an extra question.

"Hm? Lydia told you?"

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then realized.

He hadn't said he was a Chaos Mage, nor had he met this old man, so it was highly probable that Lydia had told him.

A sweep with his Heavenly Eye Technique revealed that the other party was actually the Old Pope, which surprised him a little.

The Old Pope regretted speaking out of turn in his haste, but he had no time to dwell on it, and said solemnly,

"I am the former Pope of the Light Church. May I speak with you alone?"

"Speak alone?"

Chen Beixuan was somewhat suspicious, unsure of what he was up to. After thinking for a moment, he didn't refuse, as he also had questions to ask the other party.

To avoid being discovered by the divine envoys, the Old Pope specifically took him flying to the outskirts of the city.

After finding an uninhabited spot to land, the Old Pope got straight to the point.

He respectfully bowed to Chen Beixuan right away.

"Please... please save Lydia..."

"Hm? What happened to her?"

Chen Beixuan was first stunned by his actions, then instinctively asked after hearing the content of his words.

The Old Pope did not hide anything, recounting how the divine envoys had interrogated Lydia.

He emphasized that the divine envoys' methods were ruthless, and Lydia would rather die than surrender, not revealing that Old Man Chen had killed Kadela.

"Our Light Church never intended to conflict with you. It was the Light God Realm that forced us to do it, and searching for genesis was also an order from the God Realm."

The Old Pope's voice was mournful as he continued,

"Lydia, that child, would rather die than tell the truth, just to avoid offending you. I know my request is a bit much, but... seeing the child suffer, my heart truly aches..."

Listening to his narration, Chen Beixuan understood the whole story and was immediately somewhat dumbfounded.

Was he that terrifying?

The value of a Chaos Mage was still rising.

Whether he asked his questions or not was no longer important; what was important were the two divine envoys mentioned by the Old Pope!

He had guessed correctly after all!

The God Realm had indeed sent more people to find the culprit.

Thinking of this, his lips curved slightly.

"Since you're asking for my help, you must already have a plan. Tell me, what's the plan?"

The Old Pope straightened up upon hearing this, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled.

"The plan is like this, we..."

After a low whisper, the Old Pope returned to the city and began to execute the plan...

On the other side.

Lydia was almost unconscious under severe torture, sweat trickling from her hair, her face pale.

Seeing this, Sandra flicked her hand, sending out a golden light to heal her.

Once her complexion was rosy and she was conscious again, Sandra spoke again, giving an order.

"Don't rush to sleep. We have all the time in the world to play with you..."

Lilian, expressionless beside her, raised her palm again, activating a secret technique.

The painful wails continued to echo in the prayer room...

Outside the door, the Old Pope gritted his teeth, yet he had to suppress his anger and control his expression.

Creak—

He pushed the door open, interrupting the interrogation.

"Two Lords Divine Envoys, the culprit who killed Divine Envoy Kadela has appeared!"

Sandra frowned slightly, about to reprimand him for intruding, but when she heard that the culprit had appeared, she didn't bother with the reprimand and spoke with an uplifted tone.

"Oh? Where is the culprit?"

"He's in the woods in the outskirts of the city, loudly proclaiming that he killed Divine Envoy Kadela. I received the news and immediately came to report."

"He also said... he also said..." The Old Pope hesitated.

Sandra said in a deep voice: "What else did he say?"

"He, he said... divine envoys are all... all arrogant trash..."

Boom!

Crack!

Two golden lights erupted, and the tables, chairs, and benches shattered in response!

Golden energy swayed like flames, and Sandra and Lilian stood with grim expressions.

"You'd better not lie to me; you know the consequences."

Sandra warned in a deep voice, then waved her hand as a signal.

"Bring her along. If the other party recognizes her, it proves she's been lying, and she will be severely punished."

Lilian complied, grabbing Lydia by the back of her neck and lifting her like a dead dog.

A cold light flashed under the Old Pope's drooping eyelids.

At the same time, he was glad he had given a heads-up beforehand.

He deliberately made Old Man Chen pretend not to know Lydia, otherwise Sandra would have succeeded.

The four set off for the outskirts and soon arrived at the forest area.

But looking around, there wasn't even a ghost in sight!

Sandra glared, staring at the Old Pope and questioning him with an icy tone.

"Where is the person you spoke of? Where is he?"

Lydia, held by Lilian, was also dumbfounded.

No, Old Man.

Are you saying you don't think I'm dying fast enough???

Are you playing around!

Three murderous gazes converged, and the Old Pope was also bewildered.

That's not right!

According to the plan, Old Man Chen should have been waiting here, then naturally killed the two divine envoys to shift the conflict.

But...

Where the hell is he!!

Damn, you can't play like this!

The Old Pope was sweating profusely, stammering: "Just... just... he was clearly here just now..."

The three murderous gazes did not diminish but intensified, almost solidifying.

Just as the tense atmosphere was about to reach its breaking point, a white light suddenly flashed!

The next second.

Chen Beixuan's figure appeared in the middle of Sandra and Lilian.

Coincidentally, he squeezed between them.

In gaming terms, it was a body collision glitch, almost clipping through.

"!!!"

Sandra and Lilian's expressions changed drastically, and they instantly leaped far away, creating distance.

They didn't even bother with Lydia in their hands, letting go and dropping her onto the grass.

Chen Beixuan looked at his hands, then looked up at the two divine envoys, rubbing himself with a look of utter disgust.

He felt dirty.

It wasn't that divine envoys were actually dirty; quite the opposite, all divine race members were beauties, and beauty was standard.

It was just that Chen Beixuan's mysophobia was a bit severe.

Every time he saw a blonde foreign beauty, he always felt a unique body odor lingering at the tip of his nose; he couldn't stand it...

Understanding the current situation.

The Old Pope's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, pointing at Chen Beixuan and shouting.

..."He is the culprit!"

Sandra and Lilian's gazes sharpened, their tones unfriendly.

"You killed Kadela, and you also said that divine envoys are arrogant trash?"

Chen Beixuan got into character instantly, wagging his finger.

"Eh, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, everyone here..."

..."is trash!"
