Clyde exclaimed in disbelief.

But the dark monster, or the Godzilla-ized Linley, ignored Clyde's words.

He just held the Purple Blood Sword, stared coldly at Clyde with his azure eyes, and then said softly:

"The Secret of Wind - The Rhythm of Wind!"

In an instant, countless purple sword shadows appeared in front of Clyde, like the omnipresent wind, bombarding Clyde from all directions.

In just a moment, the "Guardian of Destiny" that had suffered the full-strength attack of countless ninth-level strong men was shattered.

The purple sword light continued to move forward, passing through Clyde's body like lightning, cutting off his left arm and both thighs.

"thump!"

Clyde, who was cut into a human stick, fell to the ground and looked at Lin Lei with horror on his face.

Linley simply raised his hand to stop the blood from Clyde’s body, then turned his head to look at the door of the palace and said in a complicated tone, “Father, my uncle’s guess was correct. The murderer who killed my mother was the Church of Light.”

As he spoke, the black scales on Linley’s body quickly faded away, revealing his young, sad face.

Seeing this scene, Clyde, who was originally filled with fear, was slightly startled and couldn't help but exclaimed:

“You are… Linley Baruch?”

“…”

Linley ignored Clyde. He walked towards the bedroom door with a sad look on his face, and then hugged the man who walked in from outside.

This person was none other than Hogg, who had already transformed into a half-dragon with his arms covered in green dragon scales.

Behind Hogg was the dormitory boss Yale, one of the three people Linley trusted most in Finlay City.

Seeing the father and son hugging each other in front of him, Yale had a complicated expression. He sighed and didn't say much.

After a moment, Hogg let go of Linley, patted his head tenderly, and then walked towards Clyde, who had been cut into a human stick.

Yale remembered Hogg’s instructions and immediately put his arm around Linley’s shoulders, saying gently, “Third Brother, leave the rest to Uncle Hogg. Let’s go to the West City District together and witness the demise of the Holy See of Light!”

"Um."

…

…

"From today on, there will be no more Holy See of Light in Yulan Continent."

Above the former Temple of Light, Haven's wind-type lower-level god clone was suspended there, looking at the scarred ground beneath his feet and speaking calmly.

"Little guy, you are young, but you have such a big mouth~"

A slightly smiling voice came from not far away.

Haiwen frowned slightly, a light blue arc appeared on the edge of his palm, and he looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw an old man who was not very tall floating in the air. He was wearing a very simple black robe, with long black hair loose on his back and a black beard that grew to his chest. His eyes were not big but very bright, and there was always a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

The moment he saw the old man in black robe, Haiwen became alert.

Because he couldn't sense the black-robed old man's strength, it was obvious that he was also a god-level powerhouse.

Fortunately, the old man in black robes didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He turned his head and looked at the ruins under his feet, smiling and said, "It's just a temple of light. The Holy See of Light also has a Holy Island of Light!"

"There is also the 'Glory of the Lord of Light' there, and there are more powerful people in the Holy Land than here. It can be regarded as another headquarters of the Holy See of Light."

"To put it simply, the Temple of Light in Fenlai City can only be regarded as the headquarters of the Holy See of Light for spreading its faith, while the Holy Island of Light is the place where the Holy See of Light's strongest power is gathered."

"If you destroy the Temple of Light, it will only cause great damage to the Holy See of Light, but it is far from being destroyed..."

Hai Wen said calmly, "It's okay, it's just one more trip!"

The old man in black robe laughed: "Haha, indeed, there are no god-level strongmen in the Church of Light in Yulan Continent. As long as you are determined to kill them all, you can indeed uproot the Church of Light here."

"But if that happens, the disappearance of a source of faith power will allow the Lord of Light to notice something."

"Don't you care about the consequences?"

Hai Wen frowned slightly, and finally looked the old man in black robes squarely and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man in black robe stroked his beard and smiled, "My name is Beirut, and I currently live in the Dark Forest of Yulan Continent. Since you have met that kid Di Lin, you should have heard of my name, right?"

“…You are Beirut?!”

Haven opened his eyes wide and looked at Beirut in astonishment.

Beirut chuckled and said, "Don't pretend. I know you are not surprised. Di Lin has already told you that I will come to find you."

At this point, Beirut paused slightly and said with emotion: "Haven Baruk, a descendant of the Dragon Blood Family, practiced for nine years and became a lower-level god of the wind at the age of fifteen!"

"There are beings with talents like yours in countless planes, but humans..."

Beirut shook his head and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the first time I've seen this!"

Hearing Beirut's words, Haven's expression gradually changed from surprise to calmness.

He frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Beirut showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Who I am, you will know in the future."

"As for now, I advise you to forget about the Church of Light for now and practice hard. You are the first genius born in Yulan Continent in thousands of years, but how far you can go in the end depends on your own efforts."

"So, practice well!"

"Only when you become strong enough, will you be able to get your cousin's soul back..."

Haven frowned and couldn't help asking, "Wait, what do you mean?"

"So you didn't know yet?" Beirut suddenly realized, and then said with a smile, "All pure souls dedicated to the Lord of Light will become angels in the Angel Reincarnation Pool. Angels are actually humanoid weapons under the Lord of Light. Their souls have been cleansed and have no memories of the past. They only believe in their own Lord God devoutly."

"Your cousin's wife was sacrificed to the Lord of Light. She must have been reincarnated as an angel."

"Moreover, according to the records within the Holy See of Light, the scale of God's grace that time was unprecedented, which shows how pure your cousin's sister-in-law's soul is. Such a soul will be reincarnated into an extremely powerful angel, and the Lord of Light will not let her go easily."

"So, if you want to avenge your cousin's wife, it is not enough to just destroy the Church of Light."

"You must become stronger, strong enough to fight against the Lord of Light, so that you can take back your cousin's soul."

"And then, I will help you..."

Haiwen interrupted unceremoniously: "Why, why are you helping me?"

The smile on Beirut's face gradually faded.

He sighed, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura that made Hai Wen tremble. Then he said lightly: "Little guy, don't get me wrong. I do have high hopes for your talent, but this does not mean that you are irreplaceable."

"Next time, before you talk to me, think carefully about your words. If you are always so arrogant, you will suffer in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, Beirut waved his hand, and a black light flew out instantly, as if intending to teach Haven a lesson.

At this moment, invisible space ripples spread out, fixing the black light that was enough to injure Haven in the air.

Seeing this scene, Beirut was slightly startled, and then he heard an even more arrogant voice coming.

"That's enough!"

Zuo Yu flew out of the golden-red bracelet, and floated beside Hai Wen with his arms folded across his chest. He stared at Beirut with dark red eyes and said arrogantly, "Old man, look carefully, this kid is under my protection!"

“…”

Beirut opened his eyes wide and looked in astonishment at Zuo Yu who had just appeared and the black light that was fixed.

"……What's this?!"

"The power of space, a natural magical power?!"

"And you, who are you, and why is there a power in you that I have never seen before?"

Seeing Beirut's surprised look, Zuo Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You old riddle man, it turns out that there will be a day when you will be riddled!"

"Hey, listen carefully. I am the legendary Supreme God of Space. In my previous life, I fought with Hongmeng for Hongmeng Space. After being defeated, I was forced to reincarnate. That's why I came to this small place called Yulan Continent..."

"Nonsense!" Beirut couldn't help but say, "I only know of four Supreme Gods, Life, Death, Fate, and Destruction. There is no such thing as a Supreme God of Space!"

Zuo Yu said with a grin: "That's because you are ignorant!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted Haiwen beside him, and said in a frivolous tone: "Haiwen is my recognized brother, so naturally I will protect him. You are just a lower-level main god of the wind system, so don't take the initiative to arrange his future!"

……What?!

Beirut's pupils suddenly shrank, and then a strong murderous intent rose in his eyes.

This guy actually knew that he was a lower-level god of the wind element, but he knew nothing about this person.

...Should I take action?

Just when Beirut was hesitating, Zuo Yu noticed his thoughts, flew over with a smile, put his arm around his shoulders without any hesitation, and whispered something in his ear.

Beirut's expression kept changing.

But in the end, he smiled and chuckled and said, "So that's it. I understand."

“Sir Zuo Yu, please follow me to the Dark Forest for a chat. I still have some questions about Haven and Linley’s future.”

"Okay, okay!" Zuo Yu smiled and put his arm around Beirut's shoulders. Then he turned to look at Hai Wen who was confused and said, "Okay, go and do your thing. I'll be back after chatting with Beirut for a while."

"……oh."

Haiwen nodded as if he understood, and then watched Zuo Yu and Beirut leave together.

After the two disappeared from his sight, Haiwen frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed.

"Forget it, Zuo Yu's affairs are not something I can get involved in, so I should just take care of the current affairs first!"

After saying this, Haven leapt down and flew. The Holy Domain’s original body hidden in Fenlai City immediately flew up and merged with him, then flew in the direction where Linley and Hogg were located according to his spiritual sense.
