Langon Ho Yun spoke directly.

At this, everyone was in an uproar.

Even Wu Xiao and the others were momentarily stunned.

a third tier holy knight.

If this were within the church, he would at least be a major figure equivalent to the grand knight commander of the Holy Knight order.

He was just a step away from entering the core leadership level.

The most critical point was that this Holy Knight appeared to be only in his 30s, meaning he had significant room for advancement.

For him, the height of a Grand Knight commander, which others would struggle a lifetime to reach, was likely just a starting point.

And now this kind of person said he wanted to follow Lini.

Although he spoke of seeking the holy light in his heart to the vast majority.

It was clear that Leon Ho Yun meant to follow Lini.

That was enough.

Linny hadn't expected that Lang Ho Yun would show up in the deep city.

Upon seeing Lang Ho Yun<unk>s eager demeanor, he understood everything.

This guy had come because of his earlier remarks.

While most people couldn't comprehend the meaning of Lin's words.

How could someone like Leon Ho Yun, born into the direct line of the 12 noble families, not know? His ancestors have been diligently working to turn the church into a manifestation of the holy light on earth.

Although Linya's earlier words were improvised, they reflected his true inner thoughts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have casually expressed such theories.

The power of the holy light was, after all, humanity's self-redemptive light that emerged in the face of the abyss's descent.

The church's actions were tantamount to trying to monopolize this power.

Many wise individuals viewed this as user patient, a product of power- hungry hearts.

However, after years of the church's operations, the existence of one or two enlightened individuals could hardly shake its monopoly on the path of the holy light.

It was only with Lynn Y's emergence that a different light had been brought forth.

Leon Ho Yun was also considered an oddity among the 12 noble families.

So his actions at this moment were not surprising.

Woo Shiao, clear the way for him, Lini commanded.

Lini had no good feelings toward the church and he was naturally indifferent to Leon Ho Yun's apparent intention to escalate the situation.

Both were restless souls.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have become close friends despite the generational gap.

The difference was that Leong Ho Yun was overtly flamboyant, while Lin Yu was more subtle, and subtlety was often more lethal.

As you command, Woo Sha responded to Lin's order and immediately made way.

Leong Ho Yun stepped forward, the holy light around him gradually condensing, then stood silently and straight behind Lini, clearly appearing as if he was there to support him.

This scene significantly emphasized Lin Y's authority.

Subduing a third tier powerhouse, especially a powerful holy knight meant that Lin's prestige was already beyond words.

With Leong Ho Yun standing behind Lini, he was internally overjoyed.

Making the old geysers in the church uncomfortable brought him great happiness.

Wait, Leong Ho Yun, isn't that the Leong god from the Tower of Competition? It really was him.

No wonder he was so willing to follow Lini.

It turned out he was Lin Y's defeated opponent.

That's right.

He was a man defeated by Saint Lynn with a single elbow.

The style of that elbow tsk tsk.

At this moment, some people around finally recognized Leon Ho Yian.

However, the things they said made it hard for Leon Ho Yun to hold back.

What do you mean a man defeated by Lin Yi with an elbow? Was that just a matter of one elbow? It was clearly a whole plot and that elbow was just the final stroke.

If you eat your fill, do you credit it to that last bite? What about everything before that? Do you guys even know how to watch a match? Leon Ho Yun was utterly frustrated.

Line's words were not confined to that small corner of the square.

They quickly spread through various channels to all areas where humans could communicate.

Truly arrogant to the extreme, this child wields the power of the holy light, yet shows no gratitude and traps the church in injustice.

He is truly rebellious.

His heretical words mislead the masses.

He must be punished for blasphemy within the southern church.

The bishops were all enraged upon receiving the information.

In the main seat, Chinlu merely smiled coldly.

Now the Holy Sea should know that this child is not worth courting after all.

In his view, Lin's words were like a fox revealing its tale.

This guy was a complete blasphemer and could never convert.

It was time to abandon any illusions.

Chapter 218.

Betrayal from the Holy Sea.

After Lena restarted the Holy Flame path, those old-timers in the Holy Sea even hoped to win him over to join the church.

However, putting aside whether Lena was willing or not, the people chosen by the Holy Sea themselves reflected how indifferent and profuntery they were regarding this matter.

It was a mistake to send Chinlu, someone who harbored deep resentment towards Lena, to recruit him.

At this point, Lena's remarks had essentially cut off any possibility of entering the church, which Shinlu was naturally pleased to see.

In his view, there was no need to compromise with Lena.

After all, even the large practitioner alliance could only hold their noses and endure in front of the church.

How much could a mere second tier priest like Lena achieve? Who knows, one day he might be eliminated by the abyssal demon gods simply for being too arrogant without the church even needing to intervene.

Historically, how many talented individuals have fallen due to being too conspicuous? Chinlu didn't care about these things at all, or rather, would it matter if he did? Meanwhile, inside the hall, Chin Doofen lowered his head deep in thought.

He found some resonance with Lena's words.

However, this was completely contrary to the education he received since childhood, leaving him with a sense of inner conflict.

His mind was in turmoil, torn between two sides.

He even found it hard to understand what the archbishops were saying.

Doofing.

At that moment, a dissatisfied shout startled Chin Doofing.

He immediately looked up to see Chin Lu staring at him with displeasure.

Archbishop, do you have any orders? Chin Doofing quickly bowed in greeting.

As the head deacon, his duty was to execute any tasks assigned by the archbishop.

He was supposed to be an emotionless machine carrying out chin lu's commands.

Of course, he would generally bear the consequences of those commands as well.

Ultimately, it was a position that involved both working and taking the blame.

Moreover, such a position could not be held by just anyone.

Only the side branches of the 12 noble families were qualified.

After all, using these people to take the blame could maintain order.

In other words, it was persuasive.

You take some people to support the third regiment and ensure the recently captured stronghold is held.

Chinlu commanded, "The third regiment? That stronghold? Wasn't it already prepared to be abandoned?" Chin Doofing reacted and asked, "Did you not listen to a single word I just said?" Chinlu slammed the armrest of his chair in frustration, saying, "I have decided to hold that stronghold.

If we abandon it, the alliance's strongholds on the east and west flanks will be able to connect in a line.

And that situation cannot be allowed.

That's right.

We now have a reason to hold the third regiment stronghold.

It doesn't team matter what price we pay.

The main thing is that we cannot allow the alliance to take this entire area.

We have already contacted the mad god guild.

They will come to assist you in resisting the demons onslaught, so it shouldn't be a problem.

The other archbishops chimed in.

However, this task from the archbishops left Sheen doofing somewhat confused to hold onto a stronghold that was originally going to be abandoned just to prevent the alliance's stronghold from forming a connection.

How do you want to refuse this task? Chinlu pressed, irritation evident in his gaze.

He was already annoyed by Lena's matter, and he couldn't understand why the usually obedient Chinoping would provoke him now.

Understood.
