Chapter 1936: Shocking the World
Chapter 1936: Shocking the World
When everyone arrived at the site of the battle, they were all stunned.
They never expected that Arthur and the Twelve Holy Temple Knights would be brutally killed right before their eyes.
Especially after seeing Arthur’s headless corpse, the same thought flashed through everyone’s minds: Europe is about to change!
Arthur’s identity was extraordinary; he was a Saint Heir of the Bright Church and ranked third in sequence!
Such an important figure in the Bright Church died tragically, and inside the Holy Temple no less, it was a direct slap in the face to the Bright Church!
"Quickly report this to the Church!"
"Leave this matter to the Pope to decide!"
A red-robed elder said slowly.
Now that Arthur is dead, he is the most authoritative voice in this Holy Temple.
The divine servants dared not defy the red-robed elder’s orders, and soon someone went to deliver the news. Arthur’s death news swiftly returned to the Church.
The Church is the headquarters of the Bright Church, located in the Yacha Mountain Range of central Europe, considered an absolute holy land in Europeans’ minds.
A white-robed divine servant hurried into the grand Holy Temple.
Upon seeing the Pope dressed in a golden robe, he immediately knelt down.
The Pope seemed very young, barely in his thirties, yet his actual age had already exceeded a hundred.
Seeing the divine servant appear, he first frowned, then spoke: "Ratz, the Great Light God has taught us not to panic in any situation, for God will guide us through adversity."
"Please forgive me, Your Holiness, but the news is too shocking, hence my panic," said the divine servant named Ratz, his face pale and eyes still full of panic.
Upon hearing this, curiosity flashed in the Pope’s eyes, and he asked, "What on earth happened to make you so flustered?"
Ratz could no longer remain calm and hurriedly relayed the news of Arthur’s death.
Upon learning that Arthur had been slain in the Holy Temple, even the Pope’s face showed signs of shock, and then he angrily asked, "When exactly did this happen? Where is the perpetrator? What were the Holy Temple guards in Nodding City doing at the time of the incident?"
Feeling the faint aura emanating from the Pope, Ratz quickly bowed his head to the ground: "Your Holiness, according to the message from the Nodding City Holy Temple, this happened just recently."
"Because of the Divine Birth Festival, most Holy Temple guards were sent out to maintain order, so..."
The Pope’s face turned livid, and then he asked again: "And what about the Twelve Holy Temple Knights? Where were they when Arthur met his end?"
"The Twelve Holy Temple Knights, they, they also perished..." Ratz said in a trembling voice.
After hearing his words, the Pope’s fury could no longer be controlled.
The momentum he released in just an instant was even stronger than Hades, at least at Mid Marvelous Realm, possibly even Peak of Supreme Realm!
Under the pressure of the Pope’s aura, Ratz’s body was under immense strain.
Despite having the early-stage Martial Saint realm, he could barely last another thirty seconds!
Fortunately, this terrifying aura ebbed as quickly as it came.
The Pope inexplicably calmed down: "Tell me, who exactly is the perpetrator? Dare to kill in the Holy Temple and even kill the Twelve Holy Temple Knights; the perpetrator must be formidable!"
Upon hearing this, Ratz quickly responded: "Your Holiness, the perpetrator is a martial cultivator from the East. You may have heard his name before; he is Evil God Xiao Zheng! Recently, the Blood Clan caused quite a stir in Europe, also related to him!"
"Evil God? I have indeed heard of this name. If I recall correctly, his relationship with Hades should be quite good, right?" The Pope’s eyes flashed with cold intent as he spoke, "Could it be that the Blood Clan is also involved in this incident?"
Ratz shook his head and said: "The Blood Clan should not be involved. According to the information from Nodding City, only Evil God was seen. He initially wanted to make a deal with Arthur Holy Son, but the specific content of the deal is unknown to us."
"A deal? What kind of deal would Arthur make with the Evil God?" The Pope frowned slightly, then said, "If the Blood Clan wasn’t involved, then the most likely scenario is a disagreement during the transaction, leading to the Evil God killing Arthur."
"That’s what I believe as well," Ratz replied.
Hearing his reply, the Pope’s eyes filled with even more murderous intent: "Now that we know the perpetrator, issue a warrant immediately, and hunt down Evil God Xiao Zheng across Europe!"
"But what if he escapes back to Huaxia? Should we take people to Huaxia directly?" Ratz suggested.
Upon hearing this, the Pope shook his head without hesitation: "No! Unless absolutely necessary, our people must not enter Huaxia! You don’t understand the situation, but I do!"
"Several ancient monsters are hidden within the Huaxia Martial Cultivation World, and even I fear them. If our people rashly go to Huaxia to capture him, the consequences would be something I cannot bear."
"Rest assured, I guarantee that the Evil God is still in Europe, and even if he escapes back to Huaxia, we can find a way to force him back to Europe."
"In any case, pass my orders down, mobilize all forces in Europe to join in the hunt for the Evil God!"
Steadfast determination shimmered in Ratz’s eyes as he quickly rose and left.
Ten minutes later, a warrant spread from the Church across Europe.
Upon learning that Xiao Zheng single-handedly infiltrated Nodding City and killed the third-ranked Saint Heir along with the Twelve Holy Temple Knights, all of Europe was once again shaken! Even Hades, far away in the Netherworld King Temple, looked exceptionally grave upon hearing the news!
At the same time, Long Qie and his companions also received the news.
At Sky Net headquarters, Evil Eyes and Titan were gathered in Long Qie’s office.
"I didn’t expect the reaction from the Bright Church to be so intense; it seems Mr. Xiao has succeeded," Evil Eyes said slowly, "but we don’t know when he’ll return."
"Long Qie, have you been in contact with Mr. Xiao?" Titan asked.
Upon hearing this, Long Qie couldn’t help but sigh, then shook his head: "No, from the moment I received the news until now, I’ve been unable to get in touch with Mr. Xiao."
"Not only us, but the entire Europe is looking for his whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Evil Eyes and Titan exchanged a glance, both unable to suppress a sigh, their hearts filled with worry.
What they didn’t know was that Xiao Zheng had never left.
Xiao Zheng was still in Nodding City...
