Chapter 1636 - A Vicious Invitation From the Western Church (1/2)

There was a trap hiding in the invitation!

Chief Luo never thought that the invitation from the Western Church would contain such a hideous trick!

“Senior! Be careful!”

Chief Luo’s expression changed in an instant. The Western Church’s reserve was unfathomable. In today’s Earth where spiritual energy had returned, it was a boss-level power, so no one should underestimate its tricks.

“It’s fine.” Bu Fang was calm, though, as he looked at the glowing cross. He did not sense killing intent in it. In other words, the cross was not intended to kill him.

The people of the Western Church were no fools. The footage of Bu Fang killing all the Gods of India had gone viral on the Internet, and surely they had watched it. Unless an Immortal Emperor was here in person, a mere invitation could not hurt Bu Fang.

And so it was. When the beam of light shot out of the cross and approached Bu Fang, he shattered it with a flick of his finger. With a popping sound, it exploded into a small firework, and the tiny dots of light gradually turned into a vague figure.

It was an old man in a red robe. He had a white beard, and he was looking at Bu Fang with a kind, ruddy face. “Greetings, Mister Bu Fang. I’m Cardinal Hagens from the Western Church,” said the old man as he bowed slightly. He looked respectful, and he seemed to be talking from somewhere far away.

Bu Fang paused. He felt great respect from the old man. An angry fist does not hit a smiling face, so he just looked indifferently at him.

“Of the four Holy Artifacts that govern Earth’s spiritual energy, Your Excellency holds two. The Western Church, on the other hand, has acquired the other two after going through unimaginable hardships…

“Your Excellency is a Chosen One. Therefore, with sincere respect, this humble one invites Your Excellency to attend the banquet held by His Holiness the Pope for the Holy Artifacts at the Western Court. We heard that Mister Bu Fang loves food, and we will prepare the choicest cuisines in the world. This represents our highest tribute to Mister Bu, and we hope Your Excellency could honor us by attending the banquet.”

After saying that, the old man bowed deeply.

The expressions of the people behind Bu Fang, including Chief Luo, changed drastically. With Bu Fang here, the Jiangdong branch had become the central location of the State Supernatural Agency, and most of the agency’s S-class superhumans were working here. The Cardinal’s words shocked them.

“How could it be… When did the Western Church acquire the second Divine Artifact?!”

“Isn’t the second Divine Artifact held by the Gods of Egypt?”

“I heard there was a battle between Egypt and the Western Church… But the result was unknown. It seems that the Western Church had won.”

The superhumans were talking to each other, shocked.

“I will be there,” Bu Fang said indifferently.

Upon hearing that, the old man beamed. “This humble one will be looking forward to seeing Your Excellency. His Holiness the Pope and his servants will welcome Mister Bu with the grandest ceremony.” After that, the light faded, and the invitation fell into Bu Fang’s hand, no longer glowing.

“Senior, are you really going to attend the banquet? The Western Church’s reserve is unfathomable, and its people are dangerous. They are more treacherous than the Indian Gods…” Chief Luo’s face was unsightly.

“It’s fine… I’m planning on going there anyway. I have to take back the two cooking utensils,” Bu Fang said in a relaxed manner. He did not think this was a serious matter.

His nonchalant attitude left Chief Luo somewhat speechless.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside of the base, and then a man ran into the conference room in a panic.

“Chief…”

Chief Luo walked up to the man, who hurriedly told him what happened.

“Senior, the Western Church’s escorts are here. They are waiting for you.”

Chief Luo’s face turned very ugly. The Western Church was too hospitable. After acquiring two Divine Artifacts, it was now targeting the last two, which were possessed by Bu Fang. The so-called banquet was definitely a trap.

“Oh? They’re quick…” Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged. With his hands clasped behind him, he walked out of the base with a group of people.

Outside, a coach stopped on an empty field, surrounded by a group of men and women with golden hair and blue eyes. They smiled when they saw Bu Fang. Clad in holy white robes, the men were handsome and the women beautiful, and they had circlets made of fresh grass set upon their heads.

The coach was luxurious, shining brilliantly as if it was made of pure gold. Strange images were drawn all over its surface, which told different stories. The horse that pulled the vehicle was a white unicorn. Although it did not have wings, it was emanating holy spiritual energy.

As Bu Fang walked up to them, their faces grew warmer and kinder.

“Greetings, Mister Bu.” A tall, handsome man with blond hair stepped forward with a smile. He was followed by two beautiful women.

“Let me introduce myself. I am the commander of the Third Legion of the Holy Cross Army under the Western Church. I have been sent by Cardinal Hagens to escort you to the Western Church,” the man said gently. Then, he took a step to the side. The women behind him and all the others stepped to the side as well, revealing a path that led to the coach.

“Hmm?”

Bu Fang glanced at them. The man was different from the Cardinal. Although he was there to escort him, his tone was aggressive and almost provocative, mixed with a hint of doubt.

“A coach?” Bu Fang looked at the man.
