Chapter 1241: Chapter 1227: Captain Lovka
Wulu has been living in the Sea of Myriad Islands for many years and is a seasoned local.
Previously.
He was not yet the Island Lord of Li Yuan Island.
He fought fiercely on other islands and eventually joined the Scarred Church by chance, becoming an external member.
His ability to take control of the entire Li Yuan Island.
Also had a lot to do with the Scarred Church.
Baiyu, upon learning about his relationship with the Church, felt somewhat reassured, Wulu was appointed by Alfred and seemed reliable.
At least.
As long as no major issues arise.
Wulu is trustworthy.
"How many people are in the Spirit Realm on Li Yuan Island?" Baiyu continued to ask.
Wulu replied in a deep voice: "In fact, it’s the Spirit Realm that constitutes the real power of Li Yuan Island.
Currently, there are two million people on the island.
But the skilled Extraordinary and Martial Artists amount to less than ten thousand.
Although only thirty thousand people are in the Spirit Realm entrance below Li Yuan Island, these thirty thousand are all Martial Artists and Extraordinary, without ordinary individuals."
Ordinary people below.
Would not stand a chance of survival.
Even if checkpoints and residential areas were established in the Spirit Realm, no ordinary person would choose to live there.
Any small incident.
Could cost them their lives.
"I see, so this part of the Spirit Realm is under your management?"
Baiyu inquired.
Wulu shook his head and said solemnly: "There are three management departments there: the Church, the Imperial Star Realm Army, and the Sea of Myriad Islands Alliance."
Baiyu frowned.
He knew about the Imperial Star Realm Army, but what on earth is this Sea of Myriad Islands Alliance?
Wulu explained considerately: "The Sea of Myriad Islands Alliance is composed of powerful nobles and Island Lords from the Sea of Myriad Islands, who have obtained management rights at the upper levels of the Empire.
They formed the alliance.
And hold management and control authority in many areas. It’s a very large alliance.
Of course.
Only those who are at least nobles or who wield significant power in the Sea of Myriad Islands can join."
Wulu explained.
"The Church above is just a façade.
The church below.
Is the real Scarred Church, Mr. Alfred sent you to manage that church?"
Baiyu pondered for a while.
Alfred didn’t specify exactly which church.
This fellow.
Only mentioned that breakthroughs could be sought within the church.
But there are no clues now, not even knowing which of the two churches.
"I want to go down and take a look."
Baiyu made a decision to first visit both churches, and then plan accordingly. If the church below already has a Bishop, it might not need him.
Wulu agreed readily.
After all.
He didn’t have much to do day-to-day.
Concerning the Scarred Church, he was very attentive and willing to offer help.
...
Unlike the Spirit Realm channel on Canglan Star.
The entrance here.
Is more primitive.
It more truly reflects the essence of the Spirit Realm channel.
Because this is a colorful passageway.
Similar to the channel created during Spirit Realm traversal, yet the situation here is more complicated.
Li Yuan Island constructed a fortress-like building directly.
There are also several guards.
Keeping it securely guarded.
Only because Wulu brought Baiyu, they could proceed unimpeded, otherwise, Baiyu might have been discovered if he came alone.
After entering the passageway.
Bursts of dizziness ensued.
This is a common experience when entering the Spirit Realm.
Unlike Spirit Realm traversal.
When Baiyu and Wulu arrived, they emerged from a colorful passageway into a downward-sloping pit, with smooth surroundings and no obstacles.
Baiyu and Wulu appeared in the center of this pit.
At the bottom of the pit, there was a large door, seemingly the exit, and they both followed it quickly to the mainland.
The ground was paved with rocks.
Large stones formed the entire street, with sparse housing on both sides.
The architecture apparently was built to follow the mountain’s contours.
The whole mountain was covered in buildings, from the base to the summit, all composed of stone houses.
From time to time, people could be seen entering and exiting buildings.
"Do you see the church on the mountain’s summit? That’s the Scarred Church, the same name as the one on Li Yuan Island, Blood Blade Church..."
Wulu said solemnly: "However, the church encountered some disturbances recently, and is currently sealed off. Neither the Star Realm Army nor the Sea of Myriad Islands Alliance allows casual approach."
It seems.
There are indeed problems above.
Was it because of this situation that Alfred called me here?
Baiyu wondered.
However.
Examining the living conditions here.
Clearly, there’s a strict hierarchy, the closer to the summit, the more luxurious the buildings, and living in such places costs more money.
This was information Wulu had informed him of.
Next.
Baiyu followed Wulu to the Star Realm Army office to learn more about the Blood Blade Church.
Initially, Baiyu thought.
The Blood Blade Church on Li Yuan Island was already solitary enough.
With just him alone.
Who would have thought that the church in the Spirit Realm would be even emptier, devoid of people, and even closed, sealed by two other forces?
"Are you Bishop Geman?"
"Recently, the Scarred Church issued a notice about sending a Bishop over to handle the Blood Blade Church issue; you must be the one?"
At the Star Realm Army office.
A staff member, appearing to be a receptionist, said to Baiyu: "Please follow me; I’ll take you to resolve this matter.
Regarding the Blood Blade Church.
It’s rather complex.
If it weren’t difficult to manage, we wouldn’t have chosen to close it, waiting for Scarred Church members to resolve it themselves.
Once we step in.
The solution would be outright destruction of the Blood Blade Church."
The receptionist told Baiyu because this issue was quite significant recently, so basically everyone in the Star Realm Army and the Sea of Myriad Islands Alliance knew.
"Go ahead, I’ll wait here."
Wulu said with a smile to Baiyu.
Baiyu nodded, following the receptionist, who led the way upstairs, knocking on an office door.
"Come in."
A deep male voice responded.
The receptionist opened the door and guided Baiyu to the sofa, speaking solemnly: "This is Bishop Geman from the Scarred Church.
This is our highest-ranking officer in the Star Realm Army here.
Captain Lovka."
The two exchanged brief introductions.
"Pleasure to meet you, Bishop Geman."
Captain Lovka stood up and extended his right hand.
Baiyu also reached out and shook hands with him: "Pleasure to meet you too, Captain Lovka."
