At this moment, they were doing their utmost to assist the church staff in guiding the continuously arriving believers.
As for why it was so lively, it wasn't surprising at all.
The news of Linia's safe return had spread through various channels long ago.
Almost all the followers of the Holy Flame sect were ecstatic and flocked to the nearby Holy Flame Church to celebrate this event.
Strangely enough, they viewed Lini as the one and only pope of this new sect because aside from Lini, no one else had the qualifications.
However, this position of pope was essentially assumed by default.
Even Lini, who was regarded as the pope, learned today that such a sect existed.
Thus, he was the last to know that he had become the pope.
Linny glanced toward the church again to see if Bishop Lu was present.
He noticed that the emblem on the robe of the little priest Zo Xiaoi, who had originally been at the Holy Light Church, had already changed to that of the Holy Flame.
This little priest, who had previously managed the church together with Lu Ching Sha, had also defected to the Holy Flame.
However, among the busy staff, he did not see Lu Ching Sha.
But to Liy, that was just fine.
There was no need to think.
Luing Shan must have chosen to hide in the staff living area in the church's backyard, avoiding the crowd.
After all, dealing with so many followers at his age was certainly not something one should expect of him.
Luing Shan had already aged, and after these years, it was time for him to start declining.
It would indeed be unfair to expect the old man to handle such a large number of believers.
Despite the throngs of people in the front yard, it did not disturb the old man's peace in the backyard at all.
As for Lin Yi wanting to sneak in, it was naturally not difficult, especially now.
Lini had constructed a source cyclone within his body, and his perception abilities had reached an astonishing level.
He could easily sense everything within a radius of 4 or 500 m without needing to use mechanical animals.
Everything around him would automatically form a special image in his mind.
Given such a terrifying ability, scaling the wall to enter the yard posed no challenge for Lini.
He didn't even need to employ the abilities of a spatial mage.
Without going through the front yard, Lini silently climbed into the backyard.
He skillfully found a tea room where Lu Ching Shan would likely be and knocked on the door.
Kmine.
He heard Lu Ching Shan's voice from inside.
Linny smiled slightly and pushed the door open.
Have the believers all left? You just came in to slack off? Luing Shan said without looking up, pouring tea into an empty cup for himself.
Linny said nothing, walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down with a smile, watching Luing Shan.
Why are you silent? Lost your voice? Lu Ching Shan pushed the teacup toward Lii, still not lifting his head.
Clearly, he mistook Lini for the little priest, Zo Xiaoi.
Bishop Lou, it's been a long time.
Ly finally spoke, a hint of a smile in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ching Shan s hand which was about to retract trembled slightly.
He dare not believe it and looked up at Li.
You clearly he recognized this young man who had emerged from Sha Chung and created many miracles.
No, he was no longer a boy but a young man now.
After more than 3 years, Lin Yi was no longer that recent high school graduate.
After a long silence, Luqing Shan smiled and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect you would still remember to visit this old man.
I would not dare to forget the help of Bishop Lu.
" Lin Yi said earnestly.
Luing Shan smiled heartily, genuinely pleased.
Seeing Lin Yi returned safely, and remembering him proved he had not misjudged him.
After all, Lin Yi<unk>s holy light feather skill was passed down to him by Lu Ching Shan.
What does it mean to inherit a skill? It is naturally something passed from elder to younger.
In a certain sense, Lini could indeed be considered Lu Ching Shan<unk>s disciple.
It's worth noting that often in those large families, even a grandfather might hesitate to pass on his skills to a grandson.
Yet, Lu Ching Shan had passed his precious skills to Lini, a young man with whom he had no substantial connection.
This kindness was something Lynn you would always remember.
However, neither Luing Sha nor Lin Yi was particularly talkative.
After inquiring about Luing Sha<unk>s well-being, Lin Yi prepared to leave.
As Lini exited, the church was still bustling, and it even felt like the crowd was growing larger.
Since Linu was from Sha Chong, and this church had once been the sight of his miraculous appearance, and now was also a branch of the Holy Flame sect, the believers viewed this church as a sacred place.
With the news of Lynn Ye s returned to the human world spreading, more and more holy flame believers were heading to this church for pilgrimage, ensuring that it would not be quiet for the time being.
However, these matters were not Lynn Y's main focus.
In his view, this sect was merely a tool used by some individuals to leverage his name against the Holy Light Church.
And now, it seemed that the effect was indeed impressive.
Just from a scale of the pilgrims, the holy flame sect had grown large enough to threaten the church.
This clearly indicated how rapidly this sect had developed over the past 3 years, even shaking the foundations of the church that had stood for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Of course, unlike the church, even though Lynn had never admitted it, he was undeniably the leader of this holy flame sect as long as he wished.
All the resources and the large number of believers in this organization could be at his disposal.
As for the person responsible for all this, Leon Ho Yun, I really thank you.
Linny looked at the bustling church and couldn't help but scratch his head.
Chapter 310.
The unexpected visitor, the main initiator of this emerging holy flame sect is actually Leong Ho Yun.
After joining the Holy Knight Legion founded by the Alliance, all his actions have revolved around undermining the disgusting church, especially with the support of the Alliance.
It's not surprising that such a sect has emerged.
The key point is that at that time, Lini was at the peak of his reputation to save the military training competitors.
Liy risked himself and got lost in the alternate space.
And once this incident spread, his entire image had become that of a contemporary saint.
It was also with this favorable wind that the entire holy flame sect could develop rapidly in just a few short years.
It can be said that Lin's contributions are significant to the rise of this sect.
Without the image of risking his life that Lini had created, it would have been quite challenging for the Holy Flame sect to seize the interpretation rights of the Holy Flame from the Holy Light Church in such a short time.
Moreover, there are quite a few former church members within the Holy Flame sect.
The number of original church personnel like Lu Ching Shan who have switched to the holy flame sect is not small and there is no need to worry about whether there are spies among them.
Of course, it's not something Linu needs to worry about.
Leon Ho Yian after all was a knight commander of the original church's holy temple knight order and hails from a family of the twel apostles.
If he had no sense of precaution and let a bunch of spies in, then he wouldn't he be able to continue in this line of work.
Not to mention, there are plenty of sharp-minded individuals like Yen Sunun on the alliance side assisting.
So, there is really nothing to be concerned about.
Even if it's unavoidable that a few ill-intentioned individuals mix in with the group, it would still be somewhat difficult for them to enter the truly core positions.
Overall, from the current perspective, this emerging sect may not be able to truly compete with the church yet, but if given enough time to develop, it's hard to say what might happen in the future.
After observing the nearby church for a moment, Lini quietly stepped back and retreated into a spatial rift.
In the next moment, Linnie appeared outside a manor.
Looking at this manor, Linny couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia back in the day to create this private space of his.
He had taken on the position of vice president at the Iron Blade Guild to acquire a combat projection device.
In more than three years since the energy of the combat projection device should have been completely depleted, but now it seems someone has quietly replenish the energy for this device for a full 3 years.
This area is still shrouded in mist, not easily visible to others.
It seems he needs to find a time to thank President Huan Yuan.
Linu muttered to himself.
The only one capable of helping Lin Yi replenish energy for the combat projection device is undoubtedly Huah Han Yuan, the president of the Iron Blade Guild.
Although maintaining the operation of the combat projection device for over 3 years is not a huge drain for a guild of iron blades level, it's not about the size of the consumption, but rather about the attitude.
After all, Lineia have been lost in the alternate space at that time.
According to past history, there are rare cases of people being able to return safely after getting lost in secret realms.
However, getting lost in an alternate space means there s essentially no chance of returning because that place is t even in normal space.
The coordinates can't even be determined and it's basically a chaotic stream.
Getting lost in such a place makes it impossible to return to the human world.
