Huo Churan's heart was already completely consud by the flas of his hatred.
"I want him to watch as I crush him beneath my feet! I will disable him bit by bit, crushing his limbs and his dantian, and finally, I will put an end to his life! That's the only way I can let go of my resentnt!"
While Huo Churan's party was preparing to make a move, the sa applied to Qian Sanjiang.
However, soti in the morning, Qian Sanjiang suddenly spotted a General from the Divine Heavenly Church, accompanied by four Great Grandmasters.
Furthermore, as soon as they arrived in the city, they imdiately made a tour around White Cloud Warrior Academy, focusing the majority of their attention on Fang Che's manor.
Clearly, the Divine Heavenly Church's retribution had also arrived.
It was imdiately apparent to Qian Sanjiang that these five warriors only comprised the scouting party, and that there were definitely more powerful warriors lurking in the shadows.
"Pope Yin, the people from the Divine Heavenly Church have also arrived! The leader of their initial party is a General, and they appear to be targeting Night Demon as well."
Once again, Yin Shengong gave no response.
Just as Mu Linyuan said: "Pope Yin doesn't know anything."
With that in mind, Qian Sanjiang notified Fang Che of the situation.
"In that case, I have to hide. I can't deal with both churches at once!"
"Alright, make sure to look after yourself."
Following the conclusion of their brief correspondence, Fang Che sat in his study with his brows tightly furrowed.
He wasn't expecting the Divine Heavenly Church to show up at a ti like this.
After so careful consideration, Fang Che decided that he couldn't claim all of the accolades as it would be too suspicious. He had to keep a relatively low profile and refrain from revealing just how much power he could draw upon.
Ye ng entered the room with a cup of tea to find Fang Che sitting in silence with a vexed look on his face and a slip of paper in his hand.
"What's wrong, Young Master?" she asked in a concerned manner.
"Just so problems with my cultivation," Fang Che replied as he flipped over the slip of paper and pressed it down onto his desk to conceal its contents.
This subtle gesture didn't escape Ye ng's notice, and she promptly departed.
After that, Fang Che left the manor, seemingly with sothing on his mind, even skipping a al in the process.
Ye ng escorted Fang Che out of the manor, then asked him what he wanted to eat that night, but he ignored her and hurriedly departed.
Following his departure, Ye ng imdiately snuck into his study in search of that suspicious slip of paper.

That afternoon, Chen Ruhai and Fan Tiantiao received a secret report.
The Divine Heavenly Church is making a move?
Their eyes instantly lit up, and they imdiately mobilized so powerful warriors in the Hall of Protectionists, then contacted Huang Yifan so that he could also make so preparations on his end.
It was a dark and cloudy night.
The stars and the moon had all been concealed behind an inky-black veil, resulting in extrely low visibility.
All of a sudden, a burst of flas erupted into the sky, tearing through the veil of darkness, and this was followed by a resounding explosion, heralding the comncent of a fierce battle.
To the shock of both Chen Ruhai and Fan Tiantiao, the Divine Heavenly Church had sent two Kings after Fang Che, the very sa two Kings that had wiped out the entire Xin Clan not too long ago!
After rushing into their stronghold, many warriors of the Hall of Protectionists imdiately fell prey to Poison King's poison, and only then did Chen Ruhai and Fan Tiantiao realize what they were dealing with.
"Snake King and Poison King are here!" Chen Ruhai yelled. "Dean Huang, we need your help!"
Eight instructors from White Cloud Warrior Academy were deployed with a single command from Huang Yifan, and the tables were instantly turned.
Chen Ruhai and Fan Tiantiao possessed sufficient power to deal with the two Kings on their own, but they wouldn't have been able to avoid casualties among their subordinates. Furthermore, these two Kings were extrely cunning and adept in the art of disguise, and it would be a catastrophic failure if they were allowed to get away.
With White Cloud Warrior Academy getting involved, the accolades would have to be shared, but it ensured that the two Kings wouldn't be able to get away.
Chen Ruhai had a very clear objective: to capture the two Kings alive!
The lineup that they had assembled was complete overkill, so it would be downright absurd if they failed to capture the two kings alive.
Sure enough, after an intense battle, both Snake King and Poison King were dealt severe injuries before being personally apprehended by Fan Tiantiao, while the rest of the Divine Heavenly Church warriors were all killed.
It was a very brief battle, but it was more intense than any battle that the city had seen in years, and countless people were awoken by the commotion.
In particular, Qian Sanjiang almost shat himself!
He had been covertly observing the Divine Heavenly Church warriors on this night, and all of a sudden, countless powerful warriors from the Hall of Protectionists and White Cloud Warrior Academy had stord onto the scene, almost trapping him in their encirclent!
Initially, Qian Sanjiang was wondering to himself how the Divine Heavenly Church warriors had been exposed.
However, those questions were imdiately answered once he caught sight of Snake King and Poison King. Those two had just wiped out an entire ninth-tier clan, yet here these two idiots were strutting into the territory of While Cloud Warrior Academy like a pair of tourists!
They were asking for trouble!
Of course, Qian Sanjiang was oblivious to the fact that he was actually the one who had inadvertently sold out the two Kings.
Qian Sanjiang didn't even dare to move as he watched the fierce battle unfold.
After the event, he sent a ssage to Night Demon: "You can co out of hiding now. The people of the Divine Heavenly Church have already been discovered and eliminated by the Protectionists."
"Fantastic! What about the Three Saints Church?"
A speechless look appeared on Qian Sanjiang's face.
"You want them to take out the people of the Three Saints Church as well? What the hell are you thinking! The people of the Three Saints Church were never exposed!"
"I can't believe the Hall of Protectionists didn't take out the people of the Three Saints Church while they were at it! How are they this incompetent?"
Qian Sanjiang almost burst into incredulous laughter at Fang Che's naivete and wishful thinking.
"The Divine Heavenly Church was exposed because Snake King and Poison King have only recently wiped out the Xin Clan, so they're already on the radar of the Hall of Protectionists. In contrast, the Three Saints Church hasn't done anything to expose itself, so of course the Protectionists don't know to go after them.
“Hence, we'll have to take them out ourselves. Besides, if the people of the Three Saints Church are also wiped out by the Protectionist, then you'll have no accolades to claim."
"You're right, Uncle-master Qian! We have to be the ones to take out the people of the Three Saints Church! Now that I think about it, it's a real pity. If only we could've taken out the people of the Divine Heavenly Church as well."
Qian Sanjiang was rendered completely speechless, and he ended the correspondence there.
With that, Fang Che had taken out the people of the Divine Heavenly Church while also clearing himself of any suspicion.
If he were an undercover agent, then he would've surely sold out the Three Saints Church as well.The Divine Heavenly Church only had themselves to bla for their terrible luck.
As it turned out, Qian Sanjiang hadn't suspected Fang Che at all. In his eyes, they had been exposed as soon as Snake King and Poison King entered the city.
However, after concluding his correspondence with Qian Sanjiang, Fang Che imdiately sent a ssage to Yin Shengong.
"Pope Yin, Subordinate Night Demon reporting. I heard from Uncle-master Qian Sanjiang that the Divine Heavenly Church sent people to kill , only to be wiped out by White Cloud Warrior Academy. At the mont, the academy holds in very high regard, and they seem to have stationed powerful warriors near for my protection. It's just a pity that I won't get the rit points for those Divine Heavenly Church scoundrels."

anwhile, Yin Shengong was at a complete loss.
Even before Fang Che's report, he had already heard about what had happened to the people of the Divine Heavenly Church.
However, the root cause of this mishap was Fang Che, and two of their Kings had been captured alive, placing them in a terrible situation.
Kings weren't among the top brass of the Divine Heavenly Church, but they were still privy to so sensitive information, and for them to have been captured alive was an unacceptable outco.
Furthermore, there was a limit to how far one could go when it ca to infighting among the churches, and with two Kings captured, the line had well and truly been crossed.
Earlier, Qian Sanjiang had notified him that the Divine Heavenly Church had only sent a General to kill Night Demon. In Yin Shengong's eyes, it didn't matter if a re General were killed, so he had turned a blind eye to the ssage.
However, this went completely beyond what he had bargained for!
Do those two have dog shit for brains? How could they just casually co into White Cloud Warrior Academy's territory after what they just did to the Xin Clan?
Yin Shengong had already sternly admonished Qian Sanjiang.
"Why didn't you tell there were Kings involved? I swear you're going to be the death of soday!"
Qian Sanjiang didn't know how to defend himself. All I saw was a General, how the hell was I supposed to know there were two Kings lurking in the shadows?
Such a justification clearly wasn't going to work with Yin Shengong, so he didn't even bother.
Yin Shengong was beginning to develop a throbbing headache as he looked at Fang Che's ssage.
I can't believe he's still worrying about rit points at a ti like this! They're sending Kings after you, for heaven's sake! Are you not worried for your own safety at all? Who knows they're going to send after you next ti!
The problem was that as long as Night Demon's true identity remained concealed, the Divine Heavenly Church and the Three Saints Church would be sure to continue targeting him.
The more they failed, the more they would ramp up their assassination attempts, and eventually, his luck was going to run out.
Alternatively, progressively more powerful warriors were going to perish because of him, and neither of those two outcos were desirable.
There was no way that the two churches would simply accept these losses and move, and Night Demon wasn't just going to let himself be killed, either.
I have to find a solution to this problem fast! Why didn't Snake King and Poison King leave after wiping out the Xin Clan? Not only did they not leave, they ventured into the territory of White Cloud Warrior Academy! They're practically asking to be killed!
Right at this mont, he received a ssage on his communication jade, and upon opening the ssage, he was stunned by what he saw.
It was a ssage from Pope Kou Yifang of the Divine Heavenly Church: "I need your help, Brother Yin. Snake King and Poison King of my church have been captured."
