After soothing Les, Xiao entered a dark chamber, where a middle-aged man sat meditating on a bed, radiating subtle, beast-like fluctuations that set one's heart trembling.

Xiao stood quietly aside, careful not to disturb the man's breathing.

"Huu!" the middle-aged man exhaled sharply, opening his eyes, "How are things progressing?"

Respectfully from the side, Xiao said, "Everything has proceeded as we anticipated. Kevin is now dead, and Les has pinned the blame on the Dragon King. I presume the people from the Dark Church will soon infiltrate Huaxia!"

The middle-aged man spoke disdainfully, "It's only a minor A-grade Werewolf. You don't really think the Dark Church would offend the Dragon Group over him, do you?"

Xiao frowned, "So Kevin died for nothing?"

"Heh, those Undying wouldn't be so shortsighted," the middle-aged man, standing by the window and looking out, said indifferently, "The Dragon Group has risen too quickly and grown too powerful! Xiao, do you believe that ancient powers like the Bright Church and the Dark Church would just watch the Dragon Group become powerful?"

"The Underworld isn't big, and the rise of any one power means a decrease in the pie available to the others!" the middle-aged man said, "Although the Dragon Group wisely stopped expanding, those people will still not be reassured! For them, only crippling the Dragon Group suits their interests!"

Xiao nodded, "No wonder the Dark Church secretly supports us. They aim to profit from the conflict, just like a fisherman benefits from the fight between the snipe and the clam."

"Exactly!" the middle-aged man licked his lips, "But no matter how well they calculate, they can't keep up with changes! Now, we have a perfect opportunity to overturn the entire Dragon Group!"

A look of surprise appeared on Xiao's face, "Leader, is it time to counterattack the Dragon Group?"

"Counterattack the Dragon Group?" the middle-aged man chuckled, "Of course not. You don't really think the Dragon Group is unaware of our movements, do you? If we make any move, the Dragon Group's experts would immediately come here! Besides, what I need is not a fragmented Dragon Group, but a sword to help me cut through obstacles! So..."

At this, the middle-aged man paused, staring in the direction of the Dragon Group, "Liu Chengfeng, it's time to settle our old scores! Under your leadership, the Dragon Group is merely a pearl cast into the darkness! If it had been under my control from the beginning, Huaxia would already be invincible!"

…

"The Scepter of Kings?" In the campus of Yan University, Ling Feng stopped Saint Di Anfu, the Scepter of Kings flashing before her. Saint Di Anfu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed joyfully.

Ling Feng chuckled, "See? I didn't lie to you, did I? Now that I've got the Scepter of Kings, when will you fulfill your promise?"

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, the fanaticism in the Bright Saintess' eyes slightly faded, but her gaze towards Ling Feng still held an eager challenge, making Ling Feng somewhat helpless. It seemed that the Scepter of Kings was indeed very important to the Bright Church.

Saint Di Anfu, struggling to restrain her impulse to snatch the Scepter of Kings from Ling Feng's hands, steadied herself and said, "Ling Feng, you must let me verify whether it is truly the Scepter of Kings, mustn't you?"

"Are you doubting my authenticity?" Ling Feng said, frowning.

Saint Di Anfu waved her hands, "Of course not. I am just worried that you might have been deceived! After all, only we from the Bright Church can confirm it, so..."

Before Saint Di Anfu could finish speaking, Ling Feng waved his hand, and the Scepter of Kings was already thrown into Saint Di Anfu's arms!

Saint Di Anfu, terrified, fumbled to catch the Scepter of Kings, and was very displeased with Ling Feng's "disrespectful" act of handling the scepter.

Yet, holding the Scepter of Kings, Saint Di Anfu felt her Heart of Light constantly trembling!

Yes, it was it! This was the Scepter of Kings lost by the Papal Court of Light! After more than half a century, the Papal Court of Light finally had the Scepter of Kings again!

Without waiting for Saint Di Anfu to properly feel it, Ling Feng had already snatched the Scepter of Kings from her arms, "Alright, now that you have confirmed it, can we fulfill our earlier promise? When can I borrow the Crown of Light?"

Saint Di Anfu reluctantly looked at the Scepter of Kings in Ling Feng's hands and said, "I will contact the Pope right now. You must protect the Scepter of Kings, otherwise..."

Ling Feng interrupted Saint Di Anfu, "The item is now in my hands, you'd better hurry up, my patience isn't that great!"

Saint Di Anfu glared fiercely at Ling Feng and then turned and left.

Playing with the Scepter of Kings in his hands, a hint of relief flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. With the Scepter of Kings, there was finally hope of removing the Mental Bomb in Yun Hanrui's mind!

The news that Ling Feng had obtained the Scepter of Kings made the normally stoic Pope laugh out loud three times!

As for Ling Feng's previous request, the Papal Court of Light had no objections, but since the Crown of Light was a heritage artifact of the Church, they did not want it to leave the Vatican!

However, Ling Feng insisted on having someone from the Papal Court bring the Crown of Light to Yanjing for the transaction!

Ultimately, after two days of negotiations, the Pope finally compromised! After all, the Scepter of Kings was too important to the Papal Court of Light!

But to ensure the safety of the Crown of Light, the Papal Court of Light decided to send their strongest member to Huaxia for the transaction!

Grand Knight Kaidiluo, one of the Eight War Gods from the Underworld, was said to have the shadow of a Blood Angel at his birth. He successfully joined the Holy Knight Order and became the Grand Knight at the age of forty, possessing the strongest Soul of the Blood Angel.

As the Grand Knight who protected the Papal Court of Light, Kaidiluo led the Holy Knight Order in an unrivaled charge in the Underworld, particularly pursuing members of the Dark Church to the death, which made the people of the Dark Church hate him bitterly, even wishing they could flay and disembowel him!

Kaidiluo's War God battle was an epic where he alone fought against three Elders of the Dark Church. He defeated all three S-rank Great Elders, one dying on the spot, and although the other two escaped with their lives, they were severely injured and have yet to recover!

Therefore, notifying the Dragon King was necessary before such a figure entered Huaxia; otherwise, it could imply a challenge from the Papal Court of Light to the China Dragon Group!

"Nonsense!" In the Dragon Group, the Dragon King looked at Ling Feng, who seemed unconcerned, and said sternly, "Ling Feng, what are you trying to do? Kaidiluo is bringing the Crown of Light to Huaxia. Do you know how much commotion this will cause?"
