Chapter 886: Chapter 734 Power of Faith Riot

Everyone is infuriated to this extent.

Zuo Fang disdainfully stepped back, sheathed his sword, and looked at Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo gazed at the gasping White-robed Bishop on the ground for a long while. His lips were slightly pursed, and his helmet obscured his face, making it unclear what expression he wore, but he seemed to be pondering something.

— Is there a spy by the side of the Holy Maiden of Light?

Who could get close to the Holy Maiden of Light?

What identity could that person have?

Xu Shuo thought about the characters in his faction for a moment.

Among the undercover agents planted in the Royalty Faction were the Duke of Silver and Princess Teresa.

But the identity of the Duke of Silver was somewhat out of reach; as an undercover agent, he couldn’t gather much information. He could only be considered a traitor’s combat power, whereas Princess Teresa was different.

If the Silver Shield Legion is a sword thrust into the empire.

Then Princess Teresa is a time bomb deep within enemy territory.

If the Royalty Faction also had such a bomb…

Thinking of the same issue, Zuo Fang suddenly said, “Could it be The Priesthood? The only ones who could approach the Holy Maiden of Light must be clergy above the status of a bishop, right?”

The Priesthood only brought a few people this time.

The majority of the Supervisory Bishops who were inconvenient to move stayed in the City of Light, guarding there together with the Holy Maiden of Light.

Xu Shuo glanced at him: “A lot.”

Unlike the Pope of Light, who was elusive and profound.

The Holy Maiden of Light, as the Holy Seat openly placed by the Holy Court, oversaw the proselytizing and large-scale prayer activities within the City of Light.

Sometimes she even went to the commonfolk to empathize with the lower believers; on the surface, she could be described as a Holy Maiden very much in touch with the grassroots.

Therefore, not only the Priesthood.

The Church Acolytes, Choir, Prayer officers close to the Holy Maiden of Light, and even the believers who frequently visited the Holy See of Light could possibly approach her.

Zuo Fang thought for a while.

Then he leaned close to Xu Shuo and quietly asked, “Does the life or death of the Holy Maiden matter?”

If it’s unimportant, then just ignore it.

Then Xu Shuo mimicked his tone and whispered, “If it’s unimportant, why do you think the other side would plant a piece on the Holy Maiden? Because they’re too idle?”

Zuo Fang: “…”

Sarcastic as ever.

Xu Shuo continued in a normal voice, “You go back to the City of Light now. If there is no problem there, let the Holy Maiden send you back. The battle here won’t start until at least tomorrow.”

Since we cannot guess what the opposition wants to do.

It’s better to prepare in advance.

The castle’s large Magic Array has already been used once; the remaining Magical Materials are not enough to power up, but with the power of the Pope of Light, it is still possible to transport one person.

The City of Light also has a corresponding Magic Array.

Sending Zuo Fang back there would at least provide some protection, and if it really is a matter of great importance and cannot be resisted, it could also buy some time.

Zuo Fang was rather reluctant.

He had been frantically rushing around these past few days without rest.

He thought he could at least recharge tonight in preparation for the great battle, but unexpectedly, he had to travel back and forth again.

But however reluctant,

He had no choice but to accept it for the mission.

And so, Zuo Fang vented his resentment on the White-robed Bishop, saying sinisterly, “What about this man then? Since he’s of no use anymore, why not just chop him down?”

This person had ambushed him last night; if he hadn’t been constantly on guard, he might have been successfully attacked.

And it wasn’t because Xu Shuo still needed this person for questioning,

Zuo Fang would have already killed him.

Hearing this,

The White-robed Bishop immediately panicked, “I’ve already told you everything I know, don’t be too excessive, I have friends over… there too!”

Zuo Fang sneered, “As if nobody else has friends.”

Thinking you can compete with backstage connections outside the script, huh?

If it were before, Zuo Fang would have been somewhat apprehensive, but ever since he was picked up by someone, Zuo Fang had no fears at all!

Who isn’t a Second-Generation Gamer?

The White-robed Bishop, anxious in his heart, quickly looked towards Xu Shuo again, knowing that this man seemed to hold the dominant position in this confrontation.

Xu Shuo pondered, “Letting you go is out of the question, but keeping your life isn’t impossible either, only…”

“What?” the White-robed Bishop hastily asked.

“It seems there’s nothing worthwhile to pry from you.” Xu Shuo hinted subtly.

“…”

Zuo Fang immediately raised an eyebrow.

The White-robed Bishop paused, then realized, and with a tug at the corner of his mouth said, “There is.”

He then added, “But I can only hand it over in the final moments, because I can’t guarantee that you will keep your promise.”

There will be a ten-minute buffer after the third-level assessment script ends, but by then things would generally be settled, and even if he handed over the items, these people would have no need to go further and kill him.

Taking money to save his life wouldn’t be disgraceful.

Xu Shuo nodded in satisfaction, then cast a deep sleep magic on the White-robed Bishop before having him taken down for supervision.

And then…

Zuo Fang eagerly came up, “Hey, I can have a share too, right?”

After all, he was the one who captured him!

Xu Shuo was noncommittal, only standing up and saying, “Let’s go, I’ll send you back to the City of Light.”

Zuo Fang, not receiving a definite answer, felt slightly irritated, “You can’t just hog it all, I was the one who captured him!”

Xu Shuo smiled, about to say something, but suddenly felt an intense dizziness overtaking his mind, as if hit by a heavy hammer, causing the greyish-white gradation in front of him to become chaotic.

He staggered a few steps, wanting to lean on the nearby wall, but by the time he realized it, he had already supported himself on the ground.

“Huh?!”

Zuo Fang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, anxiously asking, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Shuo looked up in the direction of the voice.

But the scene in front of him was a chaotic and warped greyish-white gradation, the architectural layers of the study, the human figures, all blurred, as if the views were overlapping and he was unable to focus.

He wanted to say something.

But found he couldn’t produce a sound while the intertwining, chaotic layers of grey and white had already transported him to another sight.

Eventually, Xu Shuo couldn’t even hear Zuo Fang’s voice anymore.

…

“Damn, you’re affected just like that?!”

Seeing no response for a long while, Zuo Fang hurriedly removed the Sun Crown from his head.

Initially wanting to closely inspect what was happening, but upon removing the helmet, he found that those previously concealed silver-white pupils were now suffused with a golden light.

In an instant, Zuo Fang’s thoughts stalled.

He froze in place.

The imprint of the Sun Crown was faintly visible on his chest.

Zuo Fang’s hands lost strength, and the Xu Shuo he had been supporting tilted towards the side, but was caught by another arm in the next moment.

“Belief in turmoil?”

Catalina looked directly into those eyes.

Zuo Fang, jolted back to his senses by the surprise, looked again at Xu Shuo, but this time carefully avoided those eyes.

“What did you just say?” Zuo Fang inquired.

“It seems there’s a problem with the Power of Light Faith, he is the current Light Envoy; it’s normal for there to be some repercussions.” Catalina explained.

Zuo Fang immediately said, “It must be a problem with the City of Light, that White-robed Bishop mentioned someone is lurking in the City of Light… wait, what if it’s the Holy Maiden of Light who has an issue? Damn, I was just about to head there to assist, and it just so happens to clash with this timing?!”

Catalina remained silent, her expression complex as she looked down.

The youth’s eyes were suffused with the power of light, flickering like floating fire, seemingly struggling with something.

The uncontrollable overflow of the Power of Faith in Light also pulled at the Dawn Belief within her body.

But right now, the young man had no ability to move.

At this moment, it seemed a good opportunity to kill this generation’s Pope of Light, as a consolation to her lost Sacred Tree of the Elves.

However…

For some reason, she was just thinking about it without any real intention of acting.

Why?

Catalina hesitated.

Before she could figure it out,

Zuo Fang, having realized what was happening, had already snatched the person from her hold and started rushing out, “What are you dazing about in this emergency situation, quickly go find the Priesthood!”

Catalina was startled, subconsciously stepping to follow.
