They were the top influence in the world, the world’s strongest organization.

A reputation like this had always been achieved through a blood-covered path which was filled with killing intents and repeated slaughters.

Under the church of Universal Truth, there were piles and piles of white bones. They belonged to the countless corpses of experts that proved the Church of Universal Truth’s members were strong.

During the countless years that had passed, the Church of Universal Truth’s Guardian Kings and Knights—who possessed divine arts—had killed an uncountable number of supposed heretics.

If they were to find a heretic in a village, the entire village would be purified. Several hundred or even several thousand members would all be burned to death.

If they were to find a Mage in a tribe, then everyone in the tribe would be captured and killed.

It could be said that it was hard to find Mages and members of other religions in the entire Papal State as well as the northern plains.

If it was not because of the existence of the Mage Association, the Church would have launched an invasion to the south, eliminating existences like the Empire, that allowed different religions to thrive, and the Sand Country’s Sacred Fire Order.

Even now, many experts in the Empire were still well aware of how terrifying the Church of Universal Truth was.

This was even more so for people like Yue Shan, who was a Deputy Governor. He understood clearly that regardless of whatever conflicts there were between Fang Xingjian and the Church of Universal Truth, as companions who had come along with Fang Xingjian, they would definitely be dealt with by the Church later on.

When these Guardian Kings started killing, they were unreasonable.

Yue Xianru appeared worried as she said, “That won’t happen, right, Father? We only entered this place with them. If we explain the situation to them, they won’t kill us, right?”

Yue Shan smiled grimly and said, “Does the Church really need a reason to kill? 150 years ago, the Steel Lion Kingdom wasn’t the only existence in the northern plains. It’s because the Golden Eagle Tribe’s King Zuoxian 1 became friends with a Mage that everyone in the Golden Eagle Tribe—over 400,000 people—were all killed. They were slaughtered like cows and sheep, and their blood dyed the entire plains red.

“Even the shamans across the plains were completely wiped out. The Church of Universal Truth is the only religious sect left in the northern plains.

“Therefore, the Steel Lion Kingdom is now the leader there.”

After the tale of this history was shared, Yue Xianru shut up. However, Clyde could not accept this and said, “Then can we only just wait for death to come?”

Yue Shan sighed, “Unless Fang Xingjian can defeat them.”

Hearing Yue Shan’s reply, both Yue Xianru and Clyde appeared somewhat depressed. Right now, Fang Xingjian could not even defeat one Guardian King, yet there were two of them.

The First Prince, who was observing the battle amongst the crowd, was also extremely pleased. His eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

‘As expected of the Church of Universal Truth, the strongest influence in the world. Just two Guardian Kings are able to suppress Fang Xingjian so easily.’ At the thought of this, the corners of the First Prince’s lips also broke out into a smile. ‘With this, even if the Fang Xingjian who is elsewhere rushes over, there’s no way that he can be a match for these two Guardian Kings.’

Thinking this, the First Prince suddenly could not wait to see Fang Xingjian’s remaining powers rush over. Just the thought of being able to witness Fang Xingjian suppressed and killed by the Guardian Kings made the First Prince feel greatly exhilarated.

The First Prince had been suppressed by Fang Xingjian for too long. Ever since the incident at the Hades Vault, Fang Xingjian would always become even stronger and even more terrifying with each appearance. Everytime Fang Xingjian appeared, he would defeat the First Prince completely. It was just like there was an endless stretch of dark clouds hanging over the top of his head, causing him to be unable to see any light or hope at all.

Just then, a stream of sword light shot across the sky. The moment it entered, it merged together with the other stream of sword light.

The two streams of sword light merged instantly, and streams of world-shaking aura that seemed as if they were going to fill up the entire world were unleashed explosively. Waves and waves of strong gales started to seethe in the white jade square. When the many people saw the two streams of sword light meeting in the sky, they revealed astonished looks.

The Fang Xingjian, who had rushed over from the outside world, had finally reached the square. He merged with the 50% of his powers that was here, and streams of information and emotion continued to be exchanged between the two.

It was because this place was not in the same timeline and same universe as the outside world, so the Fang Xingjian in the white jade square was not affected by the Purple Mage King who was outside.

However, this time around, when Fang Xingjian’s clone arrived here from the outside with 50% of his powers, he also brought along an overwhelming amount of information.
