Chapter 1531: Chapter 171 Spy Appears_2
The coldness on Luo Shui’s face suddenly disappeared. She sighed softly, took a few steps forward to stand next to Xuan Yue, pulled up one of Xuan Yue’s small hands, and said, "Yue Yue, I’ve watched you grow up from a young age and always considered you my daughter-in-law. In my eyes, only you are worthy of Bu Yi. Although I’m very disappointed today, I know that forcing the two of you together won’t do any good. Let’s just let this matter go. The bitter fruit should indeed be borne by ourselves. Yue Yue, don’t hold a grudge against Bu Yi anymore. I think he knows he’s wrong now. I’m apologizing to you on his behalf." Saying this, she actually bowed to Xuan Yue. Xuan Yue hurriedly supported Luo Shui, her heart feeling sorrowful. She choked, "Auntie, I’m sorry. It’s all Yue Yue’s fault that I don’t have the blessing to be your daughter-in-law. I’m sorry, Auntie." While speaking, she leaned into Luo Shui’s embrace and started crying softly. At this moment, Xuan Ye and Nasha had already sent back those clergy and returned just in time to hear the last conversation between Luo Shui and Xuan Yue. Xuan Ye walked to Ballon’s side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Big brother, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not teaching my daughter properly. Sigh—, I really don’t know how to explain this to you."
Ballon looked at his wife with a complicated expression. Since Luo Shui had already forgiven Xuan Yue, what more could he say? Annoyed, he shrugged off the hand Xuan Ye had placed on his shoulder, grabbed Ba Bu Yi, and said angrily, "Let’s go." After saying this, he turned around, ready to jump off the altar. Everyone’s attention was focused on the Ballon father and son. At this moment, an unexpected change suddenly occurred. Luo Shui, hugging Xuan Yue, suddenly threw her towards the Pope. Her body then transformed into a phantom, rushing towards Xi Wen with a surge of black energy, heading straight for the unconscious Ah Dai in his arms.
In this sudden change, Xuan Yue had no time to react and directly fell into the Pope’s arms. The Pope exclaimed, "No, stop her quickly."
By then, Luo Shui had already reached Xi Wen, with seven or eight strands of powerful dark aura heading straight towards Ah Dai’s vital spots. Xi Wen was shocked, and in a hurry, his right hand, which was free, swung out a white True Qi to intercept Luo Shui. Luo Shui’s eyes flickered with a cold and cruel light. The black light emanating from her hands suddenly combined into one, and with a "bang," it sliced through the hastily launched True Qi from Xi Wen, continuing to rush unstoppably towards Ah Dai’s chest. Just then, a rift appeared on Ah Dai’s chest, and Luo Shui’s dark aura was instantly sucked into the rift. Luo Shui was startled, her movements momentarily slowed. Before she could attack Ah Dai again, it was too late. Feng Wen lunged towards her from beside Xi Wen, and the solid battle aura shimmering with pale yellow light clashed fiercely with Luo Shui’s palms. With a loud boom, both Luo Shui and Feng Wen staggered three steps back before regaining their balance. Both were utterly surprised, not expecting the other to be so formidable.
Ballon flew forward, grabbing his wife, and exclaimed, "Ah Shui, what are you doing? This is the Light Altar, how can you act recklessly here?"
Luo Shui looked at Ah Dai with hatred and said coldly, "He ruined my son’s wedding and stole my son’s love. If I don’t kill him, I won’t be at peace." Originally, Luo Shui’s target was Xuan Yue, but Xuan Yue’s genuine expression softened her heart, causing her to switch targets to Ah Dai. The space rift that blocked her attack was created by Prophet Pu Lin just in time. Pu Lin had sensed something was off with Luo Shui’s demeanor while she was talking to Xuan Yue, so he had been prepared, and at the critical moment, he succeeded in saving Ah Dai’s life.
Ba Bu Yi suddenly came to his senses, flew to Luo Shui’s side, and grabbed his mother’s arm, "Mom, don’t say any more. Let’s go. Since Yue Yue and I aren’t meant to be, why force it? I never want to see them again." Tears streamed down his face, the process of losing what he had gained plunged Ba Bu Yi into immense pain. Ballon held Luo Shui’s shoulder, intending to leave the Light Altar, but the Pope’s calm voice suddenly sounded, "She can’t leave. None of your family can leave now either."
Ballon looked at the Pope indignantly, "Why? Do you still want us to continue being humiliated here? Your Holiness, our Ba Family has contributed quite a bit to the church. How can you treat us like this?"
The Pope shook his head and said, "Ballon, haven’t you noticed anything off? You should know that Luo Shui wasn’t versed in martial arts before. Yet, the power she demonstrated just now seems no less than yours. Also, what she used was dark battle aura." Observing with a cold eye, the Pope clearly noticed the evil aura that had emanated from Luo Shui earlier. In that moment, he understood many things. Ballon was shocked to his core by the Pope’s words, looking at his wife in horror. Luo Shui, expression calm, freed herself from Ballon’s embrace, looked at the Pope, and said lightly, "Yes, I am with the Dark Forces. Since you’ve found out, there’s nothing more to say. Go ahead, I won’t sit idly by."
The Pope sighed deeply, his eyes revealing a hint of struggle, and murmured, "Luo Shui, you’ve been with the church for over twenty years, right? I never would have thought the traitor would be you. When the church dispatched an army to the Tian Yuan Clan to exterminate the dark alien races, nearly the entire army was wiped out, I suspected a traitor within the church, and a high-ranking one at that. Because without a traitor, how could the enemy accurately know when our people would arrive at the Tian Yuan Clan to set a trap? If I’m not mistaken, Luo Shui, this was your doing, wasn’t it? You hid it very well. If not for today’s incident, which got you too agitated because of Bu Yi’s matter, we might not have discovered your real identity."
