"Retreat!"

There was no doubt, the two of them immediately reached a consensus, retreat!

They didn't want to end up like that Knight Commander, crushed into a pulp!

After all, their goal was merely to provoke a Level 80 war here, not to truly fight to the death.

At that moment, a Strongest appeared to stop them, and if they weren't sensible, they were certainly doomed.

And upon hearing the order to retreat, those guild warriors and knight order soldiers felt like they had received a special pardon, exceptionally excited!

Leaving aside other things, that terrifyingly powerful ally was simply their savior!

Without his intervention, each one of them, regardless, would be nothing but pawns sacrificed on the battlefield—a means to incite war.

This senior who stood up against injustice could be said to be their lifesaver.

"Let's go!"

"Quickly retreat, lest we anger that senior."

"Grateful for the lifesaving grace, senior!"

At this moment, those soldiers were full of gratitude towards 'Sikong Ming'.

As for the Knight Commander who was crushed...

"You all, come over here and take this... uh, take the valiant sacrificed Knight Commander back!"

The burly man took a glance at the pile of blood-soaked scrap iron on the ground, feeling extremely fortunate.

Thankfully, there was this fool to be the first bird.

Otherwise, it might have been him who died.

Evidently, the other side was only killing to establish dominance; as for who died, it didn't matter to them in the slightest.

And this Knight Commander, thinking himself gallant, had stepped out only to be directly chosen by the other side.

Simply put, deserved death!

Two people stepped out from the crowd, lifting this mass of twisted flesh and armor, entangled beyond separation.

And the entire team retreated in the direction from which they came.

Clearly, between strictly executing orders and their own lives, they all chose the latter.

As for the now pile-like Knight Commander...

Everyone will remember your good deeds.

...

In the sky, several crows hovered, seemingly seeing the team off.

And beneath the ruins of a broken wall, Lin Ye looked in the direction those guys retreated.

"These two people were sensible, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome." Lin Ye muttered.

At this moment, a shadow stood beside him.

Lin Ye snapped his fingers, and the shadow directly merged into the ground, fusing with the ground beneath Lin Ye's feet, becoming Lin Ye's shadow.

The 'Sikong Ming' who appeared in the air and crushed the Level 80 Knight Commander of the Divine Hall Knight Order with one hand, was merely Lin Ye's shadow doppelganger.

As Lin Ye's shadow, when Lin Ye used the Rule Coin to gain the ability to ignore Level Suppression, he naturally could enjoy the same rule.

And the shadow, with attributes completely identical to Lin Ye's, in the absence of rule suppression, was certainly much stronger in terms of values than ordinary Level 80 powerhouses.

Using the abilities of a Space Mage, casually crushing a Level 80 powerhouse was a breeze.

As for why the Knight Commander was chosen...

It was naturally because this guy exuded an air of self-righteousness.

If any of the other two had been killed, or even both, there's no guarantee that the foolish Knight Commander wouldn't refuse to leave.

Based on Lin Ye's understanding of church personnel, fools marinated in the arrogance of the Church Court could certainly do such things.

So Lin Ye did not need to consider; the one to kill could only be this guy.

After all, in this kind of scenario, wanting to kill to establish dominance should target those who don't know when to advance or retreat for it to be effective.

This way, other wise ones will know whether to advance or retreat.

If you kill a wise one, a fool might even think you're scared of him and didn't dare to attack him.

As for leaving those two Level 80s alive, naturally from their perspective, it could more effectively allow people to evaluate 'Sikong Ming's level.

Simply having those small soldiers run back was meaningless!

Having done all these, Lin Ye exhaled a breath of relief.

If even killing a Knight Commander wasn't enough for the Church Court to know when to stop, then indeed, the Church Court's time was up.

"Go back, get some sleep, and then talk."

Lin Ye stretched, having been on the run for days, it was truly time to rest.

...

The next day, the outskirts of Shenzhen were filled with news of a great victory, large numbers of demons had retreated, and humanity's stronghold had temporarily stabilized.

And another piece of news spread through some channels.

These rumors did not reach the general public but were widely known in some small circles.

For instance, Lin Ye received the news immediately.

"Lin Ye, there's urgent business requiring you at the center, do you have time?"

Lin Ye received a letter from Chen Daosheng early in the morning.

"Yes, I'll head over now."

At that moment, Lin Ye had just woken up not long ago.

As for why Chen Daosheng was looking for him, Lin Ye didn't even need to guess.

It was evidently about the appearance of 'Sikong Ming' that he was coming to find Lin Ye.

Because logically, Lin Ye should have been the last one to contact Sikong Ming.

It was Lin Ye who delivered Sikong Ming's relics to the alliance officials at that time.

Now with the reappearance of Sikong Ming, naturally, Lin Ye would be the first to be approached.

But since Lin Ye managed to orchestrate all this, naturally he had no fear of being questioned...

After all, no one would ever suspect him of this matter.

How could he, a Holy Light System Professional, possibly possess such Space System means?

And by using the name 'Sikong Ming', it could further divert suspicion away from Lin Ye.

Even if Lin Ye himself would be drawn into this...

But even so, no one would ever imagine that Sikong Ming was actually Lin Ye in disguise.

Having prepared himself, Lin Ye went to the Professional Center.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Ye arrived at a secret meeting room.

In attendance, besides Chen Daosheng, there were others present.

Yan Xun and Marshal Gu, who had rushed back to Shenzhen, represented the Professional Alliance.

There were also those from the Church Court and Mad God Guild.

Even Bishop Qin Lu was present, sitting beside him was a middle-aged man with a stern expression.

And standing behind him were the two surviving Level 80 powerhouses from the Mad God Guild.

Lin Ye glanced at the middle-aged man briefly, recognizing the guy…

Mad God Guild's Vice President, Ding Hongsheng.

As to why they were there, it wasn't difficult to guess; it was definitely because of last night's events.

These people in attendance, Chen Daosheng had already informed Lin Ye of them on the way.

So when Lin Ye saw these individuals in the meeting room, he appeared calm, without the slightest loss of composure.

"You must be Lin Ye? Not bad, truly a heroic figure." Ding Hongsheng's eyes showed approval.

Among those present, each one was a renowned figure.

For a young person like Lin Ye to remain so calm under such pressure was indeed quite remarkable.

Alas, today he was merely accompanying an important client...

Otherwise, he would have preferred not to sit here.

But since he was here, naturally he had to understand what exactly had happened last night, leading to the loss of a noble Knight Commander for his esteemed client at his side.
