Chapter 1931: Bright Church
Chapter 1931: Bright Church
After a brief chat with the three of them, Xiao Zheng left the headquarters with the information gathered by Long Qie.
He drove back home.
Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran were out shopping and hadn’t returned yet.
This gave Xiao Zheng the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the information he got from Long Qie. After arriving in the study, he dumped all the contents of the bag onto the desk.
Aside from a few photos on top, the rest was documentation about the thirteenth Golden Bone and some information about Arthur.
Xiao Zheng picked up one of the documents and began to read it.
It was a record from a family that had once been a vassal of the Demon God Sect and even reached its core level. However, it was eventually exterminated by Long Qie and his team, leading to the family’s demise.
According to this record, the Golden Bone Arthur acquired was found in the Fei Country, near the border with the Southern Border. This happened about two years ago when a mining team, during a routine excavation in the mountains, accidentally discovered an ancient relic in the rainforest.
As soon as this relic was discovered, the news was immediately sealed by Fei Country.
However, the forces of the Demon God Sect and the Bright Church had already infiltrated Fei Country, so both factions secretly sent experts to investigate the location of the relic.
The Demon God Sect initially had a good chance of seizing the relic, but in the end, due to the power of the Bright Church, the Demon God Sect chose to step aside, handing over the relic to the Bright Church.
At the time, Arthur, as the Saint Heir, was ordered to go to Fei Country to preach their doctrine. Upon hearing about the relic, he led the Bright Church’s experts into the relic and ultimately obtained the Golden Bone, bringing it back to Europe.
After reading the entire account of the ancient relic, Xiao Zheng felt increasing disdain for the Demon God Sect.
If the Demon God Sect had acted more aggressively and seized the relic sooner, the thirteenth Golden Bone would have naturally fallen into their hands. Once Xiao Zheng had eradicated the Demon God Sect, this Golden Bone could have been his trophy.
If things had gone according to this scenario, he wouldn’t have to face the Bright Church.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.
Because the Demon God Sect backed down, Xiao Zheng now had to contend with the Saint Heir of the Bright Church. Although he wasn’t afraid, he couldn’t help but blame the Demon God Sect in his heart.
After finishing this document, Xiao Zheng picked up another piece of information.
This information was about Arthur’s personal data.
The content was detailed, even recording embarrassing moments like Arthur wetting the bed at the age of eight.
Xiao Zheng skimmed through and got a rough understanding of Arthur’s strength.
Being a Saint Heir was undoubtedly a testament to his strength and talent as recognized by the Bright Church.
Especially ranking third among numerous Saint Heirs, it was enough to prove Arthur’s formidable strength.
His realm was likely at the Early Stage Martial Saint, although the document suggested he might be hiding some of his strength. If it came to a life-and-death battle, he should be able to unleash combat power equivalent to the Peak of Martial Saint.
After reading all of Arthur’s information, Xiao Zheng found himself not particularly interested.
After all, he had already killed several experts at the Peak of Martial Saint, and had even slaughtered two in the Supreme Realm. Instead, it was the power of the Bright Church that increasingly made him wary.
Arthur’s strength and talent alone were so outstanding.
It should be noted that the entire Bright Church houses 26 Saint Heirs. Although some may not be as strong as Arthur, anyone chosen as a Saint Heir must possess exceptional qualities.
Coupled with the Holy Temple Knights and elders, and the Pope with unfathomable power...
The vastness and strength of the Bright Church’s power were enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
This was definitely going to be a tough battle!
Xiao Zheng put down all the information in his hands, his gaze filled with icy determination.
Even though he hadn’t truly clashed with the Bright Church yet, he already anticipated how powerful the enemies he was about to face would be! Yet, at the thought of the Golden Bone, he had no intention of retreating!
No matter what, regardless of who it is or what means they use!
Xiao Zheng must obtain the Golden Bone in Arthur’s possession!
"In three days, everything will be settled."
Xiao Zheng thought to himself slowly.
He then burned all the documents before Leng Ruobing and Xiao Ran returned, to prevent them from noticing and worrying or fearing for him.
For the next while, Xiao Zheng acted as if nothing had happened.
There was no hint of anything amiss on his face.
Until the day came for his appointment with Long Qie.
Xiao Zheng actively sought out Leng Ruobing and said to her, "For the next few days, I need to go to Europe. Hades wants to discuss something with me, so I’m going to take a look. Rest assured, if there’s nothing urgently important, I’ll return as soon as possible."
There was no choice.
At this moment, he could only let Hades take the blame for him once.
Leng Ruobing indeed didn’t suspect anything, nodding as she replied, "Then you should go. If Hades is looking for you, it’s definitely something important. But remember to be careful when you’re out."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful," Xiao Zheng smiled. "You should also take care at home. If anything comes up, notify Long Qie and the others."
Leng Ruobing smiled and nodded, then waved him goodbye.
Xiao Zheng departed without much hesitance or sentiment.
Upon arriving at the airport, Xiao Zheng found that Long Qie, Titan, and Evil Eyes were all present there.
"Isn’t this a bit much? Why are all three of you here?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Seeing his relaxed demeanor, much of the tension on the three faces faded as well.
Evil Eyes then smiled and said, "It’s not like we’re going with you to Europe, you can at least let us see you off, right?"
"We came here mainly just to bid you farewell," Long Qie chuckled, then couldn’t help but sigh. "After all, you’re facing enemies from the Bright Church."
"Be sure to be cautious when you’re out!"
The concern of the Bright Church still weighed heavily on their hearts, as evident in their words.
Xiao Zheng chuckled and then said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. That’s all there is to say, I’m boarding the plane now. Don’t be so sentimental, I’ve already told you, I’m a hundred percent sure of coming back."
"So, I’m leaving now?"
Upon saying that, Xiao Zheng boarded the private plane prepared by Long Qie without hesitation.
As the three waved goodbye, the plane gradually took off and swiftly disappeared into the sky!
