The Holy Church mbers were getting closer, and even Mie Feng could see them now. She whispered, "They’re from the Holy Church. Do you really want to deal with them? I don’t. I fear they might sense the dark aura on . The Holy Church has always hated us deeply." Her battle aura was of the dark attribute, much like how Ah Dai’s Vital Qi radiated a sacred aura; her dark battle aura naturally emitted darkness. As a mber of the dark forces, she naturally had no desire to engage with those from the Holy Church. Right now, she could only hope Ah Dai would leave quickly. However, Ah Dai didn’t move; he showed no intention of leaving and remained where he was, watching as those people gradually approached. Mie Feng grew anxious and said, "Did you hear ? If you don’t leave, I’m leaving!"
Ah Dai glanced at her and said, "Don’t worry, I have sothing to ask them. Trust , as long as I’m here, no one will harm you. Even the Pope himself wouldn’t be able to."
Mie Feng froze, taken aback by Ah Dai’s overwhelming confidence. Deep within her heart, an intense sense of security surged forth, filling her with a warmth that made her eyes cloud over slightly. She gently nodded, leaned closer to Ah Dai, and remained silent. She felt that as long as Ah Dai was by her side, she would always be safe.
The Holy Church mbers got closer to the intersection and naturally noticed Ah Dai and Mie Feng as well. Leading the group was Mang Siu, the Red Robe Priest in charge of patrolling the Empire of Sunset City. When he saw Ah Dai, his body trembled involuntarily. Ah Dai’s appearance was unremarkable, and he wore the plain clothes of an ordinary civilian. Yet his hidden aura, as immovable as a mountain, was incomparably mighty. Just by standing there, Mang Siu felt stifled, as though he couldn’t catch his breath. Alard, he raised his hand, signaling for the Holy Church mbers to halt. The Judges who accompanied him instantly sensed the erging danger. Swiftly, they ford a defensive formation around Mang Siu, gripping their weapons tightly and vigilantly watching Ah Dai to guard against any hostile action.
Lowering his head, Ah Dai spoke to Mie Feng: "Wait here for . Don’t move. I’ll just ask a few questions and we’ll leave." After saying this, he soared into the air, enveloped in a white energy, and charged toward Red Robe Priest Mang Siu.
The group of Judges grew even more tense. They were all elites of the Holy Church and could naturally see that Ah Dai’s skills were extraordinary. Four Judges of Light instantly lined up in formation, swinging their longswords downward. Four golden beams streaked across the air, leaving dazzling trails as they aid directly at Ah Dai’s head. Because of the constant battles with the dark forces, the Holy Church mbers were already on edge. Their mission was to protect Priest Mang Siu, and they couldn’t allow Ah Dai to charge through.
Ah Dai didn’t intend to antagonize the Holy Church. It wasn’t until he charged forward that he realized he’d acted recklessly. But since he’d already initiated the charge, retreating was not an option. Helpless, he spread his hands outward, conjuring two purple Vital Transformation energy shields to counter the four Judges of Light. The Judges of Light were comparable in skill to the top-tier assassins from the Assassin’s Guild, but their attacks lacked coordination. Compared to the combined assault of Mie Yi’s seven-mber group from before, they were far less formidable. With a light wave of his hands, Ah Dai easily neutralized their attacks with a few muffled impacts. His hands shifted, and the purple energy shields transford into two radiant ribbons, swiftly entangling two of the longswords. With a vibrate of his arms, he moved the four Judges of Light aside without injuring them. The shift occurred in an instant—a seamless display demonstrating Ah Dai’s absolute mastery over the Vital Transformation technique. Without pause, he diffused their offensive and even turned the situation against them. Ah Dai did not advance further; leveraging the recoil from their attack, he landed on the ground and spoke in a resonant voice, "Don’t fight. I an no harm."
Mang Siu, as the Red Robe Priest who held authority second only to the Pope within the Holy Church, was deeply shocked by Ah Dai’s formidable strength. Yet he maintained an air of composure, ensuring none of his astonishnt showed outwardly. He said with a calm tone, "Who are you?" Though his words were few, they carried an undeniable sacred profundity. The auditory resonance, imbued with imnse force, struck at Ah Dai’s senses. Despite this, Ah Dai was no longer the sa person who, in the Yajin Tribe, was outmatched by four elders. After the fusion and subsequent separation of the Golden Body within his Sea of Consciousness, Ah Dai’s spiritual power had grown substantially. Although Mang Siu’s resonant command affected him sowhat, it wasn’t enough to shake his will. White Vital Qi radiated from his body as he bowed slightly toward Mang Siu and said, "I am a third-generation disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect. Stopping you was not ant in hostility; my earlier recklessness was unintentional. I ask for your forgiveness."
Mang Siu’s astonishnt deepened—not only because his spiritual shockwave hadn’t affected Ah Dai, but also because Ah Dai claid to be rely a third-generation disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect. Yet, his skill was clearly far beyond that of even a Holy Judge. To repel four Judges of Light in one move was impossible for any Holy Judge! Based on this calculation, the strength of the Tian Gang Sword Sect could only be described as terrifying. Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Mang Siu said, "So you’re from the Tian Gang Sword Sect? In that case, you’re not an outsider. Your sect has already allied with our Holy Church to resist external threats. What is it that you need? I am Mang Siu, the Red Robe Priest of the Holy Church." Mang Siu didn’t doubt Ah Dai’s claim of affiliation with the Tian Gang Sword Sect; the Vital Qi emanating from his body was evidence enough. For this unassuming yet tall young man before him, Mang Siu couldn’t help but harbor a subtle sense of admiration.
