Chapter 1976: Chapter 1966: The Final Showdown
In the far Western Bright Great Church’s Bright Hall...
All the Pharaohs and many Bright Knights have gathered together.
Bright Emperor Shika sits on the throne in her Pope Robe, confronting Pharaoh Di Shitian’s report. Her eyebrows furrow deeper and deeper.
The Bright Sect is fully aware of the news from Huaxia Eastern Holy Hall. Initially, Shika wasn’t very interested in these matters. However, Lin Zifeng has returned.
Moreover, the Holy Hall was created single-handedly by Lin Zifeng. Which means that this time, upon returning, he will inevitably be ambushed from all sides. He might even be killed by the Eastern Kings of many forces!
"Have you found out the true culprit who destroyed the Death Tomb?" Shika asked loudly, her voice echoing throughout the Bright Hall.
"This... well..." When it came to the true culprit behind the destruction of the Death Tomb, Pharaohs Di Shitian and Ulabuk looked at each other, hesitating for a while.
They didn’t know how to respond.
At the time when Lin Zifeng destroyed the Death Tomb, he falsely claimed to be Lin Tianfeng from Huaxia’s Divine Sky Sect!
Later, upon checking, there actually was someone named Lin Tianfeng in the Divine Sky Sect!
Since Lin Zifeng used his alias Lin Tianfeng when he entered the Divine Sky Sect, his name was still retained in the sect’s register. This check successfully shifted all the blame onto the Divine Sky Sect.
However—such a question from the Bright Pope.
The two Pharaohs had no choice but to silently resolve to continue blaming the Divine Sky Sect. After all, neither of them could find the true culprit who destroyed the Death Tomb nor produce any significant result.
Failure to find the true culprit would anger the Great Pope. So, they decided to push everything back onto the Divine Sky Sect.
"Tell me! Have you truly found out the identity of the true culprit?"
Bright Pope Shika, naturally aware of their thoughts, believed that if she pressured them further, they might indeed point fingers at the Divine Sky Sect. Then she would have an excuse to go to Huaxia herself.
"It is Huaxia’s Divine Sky Sect! The one who destroyed the Death Tomb and killed Aix and Hulomoye is Lin Tianfeng of the Divine Sky Sect!"
As expected, Shika was not surprised; the two old fiends indeed pushed all the blame onto the Divine Sky Sect.
"Since you have already found the location of the true culprit, why have you delayed killing them to wash away the shame from the Bright Sect?"
"Bang!"
The dragon-head wood on the throne was shattered instantly!
"We..."
Pharaoh Ulabuk panicked, sticking close to Di Shitian, hoping to benefit from his eloquence. Since Di Shitian was indeed more articulate, Ulabuk had no choice but to involve him. The destruction of the Death Tomb left undeniable culpability for both. Ultimately, deaths alone don’t compare to having two perishing together, in a sense.
"Your Holiness, please be assured. I will certainly provide Your Holiness with a satisfactory answer!"
Di Shitian’s eyes rolled swiftly, quickly pledging his commitment.
"Very well! You will lead our Bright Great Church in its first expedition! If the Divine Sky Sect is not destroyed, you two should return with your heads to atone!"
"Your Holiness..."
Pharaoh Ulabuk was taken aback, nearly falling onto his seat. Not destroying the Divine Sky Sect and returning with their heads?
What concept is this? The Western Bright Church heading East to eradicate the Divine Sky Sect seems intent on provoking the East. If a few formidable figures emerged, this certainly meant the two Pharaohs would perish.
Currently, no one could grasp Shika’s intentions.
No large-scale war has erupted between the Eastern and Western Mortal World for ages. If war were triggered, it would drastically reduce the overall strength of the Bright Sect.
When the Bright Church’s strength declines, its status in the West is inevitably compromised.
What exactly is this Pope playing at? No one knows.
It’s likely that only Shika is very clear about what she is doing... After leaving the Bright Hall, Shika changed attire and appeared at the Bright Right Sea.
The Bright Right Sea still keeps memories of her with Lin Zifeng and the handsome man. Every time she recalls past memories, Shika feels as if something pierces her heart deeply.
Walking on the beach, gazing at a large reef outside the lush dense forest, her thoughts were mixed. Alas, as a Pope, she had too many discontents.
From the day she sat on the Pope’s Residence, her life was doomed to be extraordinary.
It determined that her life would have too many involuntary moments.
But, considering Shika’s current mentality and the success of her Transformation Path, there are fewer than a handful of people in the entire West who can challenge her.
Even in the East, fewer than a handful can challenge her.
Give her more time, and her accomplishments might be comparable to Liu Shen of centuries past! Of course, in Western mortal cultivation, Liu Shen is not recognized.
They only acknowledge the inheritance of the Main God.
Shika inherited the Bright God’s legacy, with boundless potential.
Even if the potential-laden Holy War returns in the East, it may not overpower this Bright Church’s first female Pope in three thousand years.
...
Meanwhile, in the Bright Church, in a small hall, Di Shitian and Pharaoh Ulabuk were sweating coldly, not knowing how to resolve the situation.
Back then, the youth who destroyed the Death Tomb simply claimed to be from the Divine Sky Sect, calling himself Lin Tianfeng. However, they had investigated Lin Tianfeng.
He seemed to be just a pawn, incapable of destroying the Death Tomb. Now, they ponder indecisively.
Previously, in the Bright Hall, the reason they claimed to have found the identity of the person who destroyed the Death Tomb was simply that they hadn’t focused on the matter.
"Hey Di Shitian, shouldn’t we have a perfect solution for this? We can’t really take people to Huaxia to trouble the Divine Sky Sect, can we?"
Ulabuk felt extremely uncomfortable, restless. Drinking tea even felt hard to swallow. This discomfort felt worse than eating a dead child.
"Since we can’t avoid it, the only solution is to take people to the Divine Sky Sect. After all, hasn’t the Divine Sky Sect quarrelled with a place called Holy Hall? Perfect, we’ll act as raiders. Then casually kill a few people and report back."
Currently, the troublesome thing is that the Death Tomb incident led to the loss of so many Bright Knights, and they did nothing, failing to find the true culprit.
Moreover, the Bright Pope played tricks, taking Lin Zifeng and the handsome man away. Who could find out?
Even if insiders existed, they were already obliterated by Shika.
This dilemma naturally burdened the two Pharaohs with a pile of head-splitting issues.
"Is this, is this method feasible?"
Ulabuk looked strangely.
"Now it’s a situation where retreat is impossible. Since the Pope ordered us to go to Huaxia, he has his reasons. Don’t defy, keep doing diligently. Given our Bright Sect’s strength, even if the Divine Sky Sect dares to confront us, it’s easily crushed."
Di Shitian stroked his little moustache, eyes bright, capturing everything in his heart.
