After a sigh, Eddy regained his composure.
After organizing his thoughts, he spoke, "I now believe that after Xiao Zheng’s failure this ti, he is likely to make a coback. So, I have decided to stay in Mingwa City with Joseph to await his appearance."
Hearing this, the Pope pondered for a mont before speaking, "Okay, but only you two can stay. Let the other elders lead teams to hunt him down; we can’t put all our eggs in one basket."
"By the way, are you all in Mingwa City now?"
Eddy nodded.
The Pope subsequently fell into deep thought and frowned, saying, "First Arthur, then Eric, and now Allen. What on earth is this Xiao Zheng up to? After killing so many of our Saint Heirs, what is his intention?"
"I don’t know, and that’s currently the most perplexing thing for us." Eddy said bitterly, "No matter how we analyze it, we can’t fathom his motive for killing."
"With Xiao Zheng’s realm and status, every action he takes cannot be without aning." the Pope said sternly, "As long as we can find a clue, we are sure to unravel this mystery."
"By the way, send the list of all the slain Saint Heirs."
After speaking, he ended the call.
Eddy acted swiftly and imdiately organized the list, then sent it over.
As soon as the Pope received the list, he imdiately began analyzing it: "All these incidents began with Arthur’s murder. What kind of deal did he and Xiao Zheng initially make? And why did Eric later et Xiao Zheng with Joshua? It further incited Xiao Zheng to wildly massacre afterwards."
"What is the connection among all these events?"
The Pope’s gaze fell on the list, and he stared at each na for a long ti.
Ultimately, his gaze focused on Arthur and Eric.
If one wants to know the reason behind Xiao Zheng’s relentless hunt for Saint Heirs, perhaps the investigation should start with these two, as all the causes are closely tied to them.
Especially Arthur...
The Pope began to recall information related to Arthur, including how many tis he visited the East before interacting with Xiao Zheng.
Wait!
The East? That ancient relic in Fei Country?
The Pope suddenly thought of the most crucial thing, a thing that would help him solve all the mysteries!
That is the Golden Bone!
During his lifeti, Arthur had only left Europe once, and that ti was when he was in Fei Country, promoting the doctrine of the Bright Church. During that mission, he unexpectedly found a piece of Golden Bone in a relic.
The Pope had heard about this incident from others before.
As for the Golden Bone, the Church has also collected many, and has bestowed them as rewards to many Saint Heirs. And these Saint Heirs who received the Golden Bone appeared on the list of those hunted by Xiao Zheng.
Not one more, not one less!
Thinking of this, a cold smile finally appeared on the Pope’s face: "So the Golden Bone is the motive behind Evil God Xiao Zheng’s killings. But what exactly is the function of this Golden Bone? Why would it make the Evil God so mad?"
When he obtained the first piece of Golden Bone, he conducted experints.
However, apart from being indestructible, he was unable to find anything miraculous about the Golden Bone.
"Could it be that my experintal thod is wrong?"
Thinking of this, the Pope imdiately summoned a Divine Servant, ordering him to fetch a piece of Golden Bone from the treasury.
Though the servant was puzzled, he asked no questions.
Before long, he returned to the Temple with a piece of Golden Bone.
After receiving the Golden Bone, the Pope attempted to infuse his own power into the Golden Bone, but no matter how hard he tried, he received no response. The Golden Bone remained unchanged, with no alteration.
"This is strange; what is Xiao Zheng’s intention in collecting Golden Bones?"
Holding the Golden Bone in his hand, the Pope stood in the Temple, once again falling into deep thought.
But soon, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
No matter what Xiao Zheng’s intention in collecting Golden Bones is, knowing his motive ans he has already shown a flaw.
The Pope smirked coldly in his heart and then resud video communication with Eddy.
At this ti, Eddy was busy dealing with the aftermath at the Mingwa City Temple. After the video connected, he asked curiously, "Your Holiness, did you find any clues this ti when you contacted ?"
Upon hearing this, the Pope nodded, saying, "Indeed, I have already found Xiao Zheng’s motive for killing. The reason he has been attacking the Saint Heirs is actually to seize their Golden Bone!"
"Golden Bone?" Eddy paused for a mont, then realized and couldn’t help but express surprise, "It really does seem like it might be the case! Whether it was Arthur initially or Allen in the end, they all possessed Golden Bones!"
"But what does he want to collect Golden Bones for?"
Hearing his words, the Pope shook his head, saying, "At this point, I haven’t figured that out either. But that’s okay; just knowing his motive for killing is enough."
"We can use Golden Bones as bait to lure him out!"
Eddy remained silent, saying nothing.
The Pope continued, saying, "Allen is not dead yet, and he also has a piece of Golden Bone on him. For Xiao Zheng to get hold of his Golden Bone, he will certainly strike again."
"So what exactly should we do now?" Eddy asked.
"You absolutely cannot sit back and wait; imdiately take Allen back to the Church." the Pope instructed, "Of course, your return cannot be too quick, and the news must be spread in advance, preferably well-known to all."
"Only then can we force Xiao Zheng to show himself."
Hearing this, Eddy was startled, asking, "Does the news really have to be widely disseminated? But then during that ti, won’t Xiao Zheng realize this is a plot against him? Knowing there’s danger, are you sure he’ll take the bait?"
"He will definitely take the bait! The Golden Bone must hold significant importance to him. Otherwise, he would not risk opposing us to hunt our Saint Heirs." The Pope said with a cold smile, "And, he is an extrely arrogant person; having failed once, he will never allow himself to fail a second ti."
"As long as you actively leak this news, he will certainly show up!"
"Anyway, just do as I say. As for what happens when Xiao Zheng shows up, leave it to to handle."
Eddy did not speak further, and after ending the call, he imdiately set about preparing...
