Super War God in the City
Chapter 720 - 720: Out of the Tiger's Den, Into the Wolf's Lair!

Alor Duchy Cathedral.

In a quiet room, Ling Fan took out a soul-nourishing Spirit Grass from the Cang Ling Realm, sat cross-legged, and silently operated the Tempering Divine Art.

Having barely managed to unleash three Blades of the Divine Soul at the same time, his Soul Power had completely entered a state of languor, to the point where he could not unleash even a single one anymore.

Otherwise, with his personality, how could he let that guy off the hook?

Rex sat by the side, not disturbing Ling Fan as he recovered his strength.

His own condition was also somewhat weak, but it wasn't a big problem. The side effects from the Sacred Medicine he had taken before were not too serious, and he would recover after resting for a couple of days.

In Rex's hands was a cup filled with spiritual liquid unique to the Holy See, which, when drunk, helped quickly alleviate the side effects on the body.

After a short while, Ling Fan exhaled a breath of turbid air and stood up.

"Rex, long time no see. Thanks for lending a hand!" Ling Fan expressed his gratitude.

Having absorbed the efficacy of the Spirit Grass, his condition had mostly recovered.

"Don't mention it. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to slay six Blood Clan Elders!" Rex replied with a faint smile, his mood quite good.

"Heh, six Blood Clan Elders should be quite a feat in the Holy Temple, right?" Ling Fan probed slyly.

"Mm, so it is I who should be thanking you!" Rex placed down his cup.

"Would you like a drink?"

Ling Fan shook his head, "Forget it, everything from your Holy See has a touch of wickedness. That method you used to abruptly increase your battle power just now must have quite the side effect on the body, right?"

"It's tolerable. My constitution is rather special, so it's not too severe. For a Silver Bishop, this is quite normal. Otherwise, how do you think the Holy See has been suppressing the Blood Clan for hundreds of years?" Rex said lightly.

"Heh, could you perhaps enlighten me about the secrets of you Silver Cloaked Archbishops? I saw you swallow a Medicine Pill earlier! In no time you were like you had taken steroids, with your strength skyrocketing. That thing really doesn't have any harmful effects?" Official Ling's eyes flickered, and his mind began to scheme.

The Holy See was always shrouded in mystery, and since he had luckily befriended someone like Rex, if there weren't any side effects, it wouldn't hurt to secure a couple of Sacred Medicines for emergencies.

Before, he had witnessed firsthand how Rex went from being a pushover to becoming fiercely invincible.

And after using it, there didn't seem to be any adverse effects on him; the quality was visibly reliable, and the effectiveness was assured.

"Heh, since you've mentioned it's a secret, how could I easily reveal it!" Rex looked at Ling Fan and inwardly smiled wryly.

The two of them had known each other for more than a day or two; how could he not know what Ling Fan was like?

"You can stop thinking about the Sacred Medicine. It is personally concocted by the Pope and is only effective for me. It's useless for anyone else to obtain it," Rex explained.

Ling Fan gritted his teeth, a pointless expectation.

"By the way, I need to consult you on a matter. How much do you know about the Shenwu Institute?" Ling Fan suddenly asked earnestly.

Rex raised an eyebrow, "The Hall of Divine Martial? Why are you asking about them? Here's a warning for you: it's best not to have dealings with them!"

"Heh, you think I want to? If it wasn't for being chased and having a big battle with the people from the Hall of Divine Martial, do you think those seven old Blood Clan geezers could make me run all over the world?" Ling Fan scoffed with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Rex's expression instantly changed to one of sheer astonishment.

"You've had a confrontation with people from the Shenwu Institute before? Why are they after you?" Rex asked gravely.

"Damn it, if I knew why, would I need to find out from you? Who knows what they want me for!" Ling Fan said irritably.

Rex frowned deeply, "Beiming, be careful from now on. Being targeted by them is quite troublesome. You'd best figure out the reason!"

"Damn it, do you think I don't realize the trouble? The three weakest among them were bloody difficult to deal with, let alone the strongest. What a mess!" Ling Fan cursed, feeling somewhat perturbed.

"Did you shake off those three people?" Rex pressed on.

"Killed them!" Ling Fan said through gritted teeth.

"Hiss~"

Rex inhaled sharply, "Killed them?"

"Beiming, I'm afraid you've started a feud with the Hall of Divine Martial!" Rex said with a look of concern.

"What, is your Holy See afraid of them too?" Ling Fan exclaimed in surprise.

"Afraid? That's not the word I would use. Shenwu Institute is very mysterious, and according to our investigations, they have existed for a long time.

It's just that they emerged before the public only after you disappeared.

From the information we currently hold, they seem to have mastered a kind of super technological civilization focused mainly on the development of human potential.

They can even enhance a martial artist by two great realms beyond their original foundation, which is truly terrifying!" Rex said with a look of disbelief.

"Fuck, that's terrifying?" Ling Fan was startled.

This thing doesn't seem like much at the initial stage.

But at the peak of the Wuxuan Realm, if you can still develop two more great realms, that's fucking terrifying.

"Hiss~"

Official Ling also couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath, realizing the situation was getting quite serious.

"Shenwu Institute is located in the Amazon Jungle, and the conditions for entry are extremely strict. It's as if they understand all the secrets of this world, and our planted people simply can't get in.

Moreover, almost no news has come out from those who have entered!" Rex said with a solemn expression.

The unknown, the mysterious, is what's most daunting and frightening.

In fact, many superpower organizations around the world have covertly investigated Shenwu Institute, but they've only managed to scratch the surface. The real core secrets are known to no one.

Ling Fan's mouth twitched, "Fuck, it looks like a real thorny issue!"

"Yeah, so you need to be careful!" Rex reminded.

"Alright, I must leave now, take care of the Blood Clan matter!" Ling Fan greeted Rex and then said farewell.

Rex didn't try further to detain him, "Take care of yourself, with the Blood Clan breaking the Karmila Law, I must also return to the Holy See to report back to the Pope!"

"Sure, we'll be in touch!" Ling Fan threw a punch at Rex.

In the English Castle,

Brook sat in a rocking chair, silent and looking dismayed, this campaign was a heavy loss, with both soldiers and generals lost.

Seven Blood Clan Elders, six dead and one injured—a significant blow to the Blood Clan as well.

"Grandfather, who would've thought this bastard would be involved with the Holy See!" Lydia said bitterly, her lips pursed.

The loss of so many Elders at once, she felt it was all caused by her own selfishness, feeling somewhat guilty.

Brook, unaware of these feelings, took a deep breath and comforted, "Let it go, who could have predicted he would bring out the Silver Cloaked Archbishop from the Holy See.

Besides, it's not without gains.

We at least know now that the Holy Artifact cannot be activated by Ling Beiming, and that the blood of low-rank Blood Clan members seems ineffective, which is good news for us!"

"Yeah!" Lydia responded, only able to nod in agreement.

"There's plenty of time ahead to find another opportunity," Brook murmured to himself.

In White Country, within a secret cave in the Guayawal Valley,

"My lord, I've just received news from the President; Ling Beiming is heading towards our White Country!" an elderly man with grey-white hair reported to a middle-aged man with purple hair.

"Oh? Ling Beiming is coming our way?" The middle-aged man's pupils flickered with a strange purple glow.

"Yes, my lord!" said the elder respectfully.

"This guy killed our puppet, the Head of the Martial Alliance, before. We can't just let this go. Since he's come to our doorstep, let's teach him a lesson," said the middle-aged man indifferently.

"Keep an eye on his movements and report them at any time!"

"Yes, my lord!" the elder responded respectfully.

At this moment, after saying goodbye to Rex, Official Ling was pondering that it might be safer to hurry back to Huaxia. Other matters could wait for another day.

Returning to Huaxia from Alor Duchy, he would just pass through White Country, which was the nearest route to enter Huaxia.

At this moment, Ling Fan had just crossed the border of White Country and entered its territory.

The guy had no idea that he had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's lair!
