Chapter 399: Chapter 399: The Church of Light No Longer Needs to Exist (4th Update)
Xue An first lowered his head and tenderly smiled at his two daughters, “Good girls, wait for Daddy to wipe out all these bad guys!”
“Mm! Daddy, these bad guys are so horrible, they even cut my finger!” Xue Nian pouted, stretching out her finger to complain.
Although the small wound had already healed, Xue An’s heart still ached immensely.
“Don’t be afraid, Nian Nian, Daddy will avenge you now!”
Having said that, Xue An turned his head to look at Garry, standing alone in mid-air, his eyes filled with blazing killing intent.
“Church of Light?”
Garry shivered all over, watching Xue An with terror and stammered, “You… you dare to kill a Radiant Knight? The Holy Knight will not let you go!”
Garry was most afraid of Alonso’s death.
After all, that Holy Knight was known for being fiercely protective, and if he learned of Alonso’s death, he would certainly vent his anger on him.
Xue An, however, just smiled, “Holy Knight? No, he will be gone soon! As for you, you must die today!”
Garry was taken aback at first, then his face turned a mix of shock and rage, “Do you know who you’re talking to? I am the cardinal of the National Cult in Euros…”
Before he could finish, Xue An vanished from where he was, appearing in front of Garry the next second and said indifferently, “There will be no cardinals anymore, because even your church… will cease to exist!”
With that, pristine flames emerged.
Garry trembled all over, yelling in disbelief, “Divine Flame of Light, how can you possess such a divine flame?”
Xue An spoke lightly, “The god you worship might enjoy gilding his own face, but since when did this divine flame have to be named after his deity?”
“Who the hell are you?” Garry shouted in terror.
“The one to obliterate your Church of Light!” Xue An stated calmly, and with a wave of his hand, the white flames enveloped Garry completely.
Screams of agony rose from within the flames, and then Garry was burned into nothingness.
Thus, all members of the Church of Light who invaded the Elf Sanctuary died.
Xue An landed on the ground and hurriedly picked up his two daughters, thoroughly checking them over. Only after ensuring they were unhurt did he relax.
At that moment, Chloris approached, her face full of shame as she bowed and said, “My lord, I failed to protect the two young ladies, please punish me!”
Seeing the Mother Goddess speak like this, all the members of the Elf Race knelt down, “My lord, it is our oversight, please punish us!”
Xue Xiang said, “Daddy, it’s all the fault of those bad guys, don’t blame Mother Goddess sister or them!”
Xue Nian also spoke, “Yes, sister is right!”
Xue An smiled and said to a guilt-ridden Chloris, “Stand up. This isn’t your fault, the blame lies with the people from the Church of Light!”
Hearing Xue An say this, Chloris finally stood up straight.
“Daddy, where’s Mom?” asked Xue Xiang.
Xue An smiled, “When I sensed something was wrong here, I immediately rushed over. Your mom is slower than me, so wait a little longer for her to arrive!”
As he was speaking, An Yan, carrying a frying pan and brimming with anger, also appeared in the Elf Sanctuary.
“Who, who dares to hurt my daughters?” Typically gentle, An Yan was now like a cat with its tail stepped on, her fur completely ruffled and her face filled with murderous intent.
“Mommy, the bad guys have been wiped out by Daddy!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian quickly jumped out of Xue An’s arms and rushed over to her.
An Yan squatted down and hugged her two daughters tightly, her heart still racing with fear.
She had been terrified moments ago.
Suddenly, Xue An became furious and informed An Yan that something might have happened to their daughters, saying he had to go ahead and then he disappeared into the sky.
Upon hearing these words, An Yan’s heart almost burst, and she immediately followed suit to rush back!
With her strength, she couldn’t return to London so quickly.
Thankfully, with the help of the two Blood Clan members, Selina and Quintina, she just barely made it back in time.
Even though An Yan had blind faith in Xue An, her heart was still a tumultuous mix of emotions all the way.
Now, seeing that the father and daughters were all safe and sound, they could finally relax.
At that moment, Xue An waved his hand, dispersing the Power of Light that had filled the entire Elf Sanctuary.
The Force of Nature returned, and withered trees began to grow anew.
Everyone returned to the Mother Tree of the Elves.
Chloris once again formally apologized, and Xue An shook his head, “I have said, this matter has nothing to do with you, the fault lies with the Church of Light!”
The Church of Light!
An Yan, upon hearing these words, clenched her teeth with hatred.
Chloris then asked, “My lord, what do you plan to do?”
“What else can I do? If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone, but if someone offends me, I shall kill! This Church of Light… has no reason to exist anymore!” Xue An stated indifferently.
His words caused a great uproar.
Many elves looked at each other in bewilderment.
Indeed, they had just heard the words Xue An said to Garry, but they thought that Xue An was just speaking off the cuff.
But now, Xue An was serious.
Could this be possible?
After all, they were up against the Church of Light, which had been glorious for a thousand years!
Yet even the usually good-tempered An Yan couldn’t help but nod her head, “Husband, I agree! These people are utterly reprehensible, it’s time to deal with them!”
Chloris’s eyes sparkled at the prospect.
If Xue An could truly eradicate the Church of Light, the days for the Dark Night Elves would be much better.
And how could she stand by on such a matter that affected her own interests?
Thinking this, she bowed, “Chloris wishes to follow my lord into battle!”
Seeing their goddess act thus, all the elves also bowed in unison, “We wish to follow my lord into battle!”
Xue An smiled faintly.
At this time, Elder Luna spoke up, “My lord, although your cultivation level is unmatched, the opponent is a massive force that has ruled Europe for thousands of years, so relying solely on yourself might not be enough. Why not spread the news, to draw those who share our enmity?”
Xue An did not express agreement or disagreement, but still nodded slightly, “Alright! Then you shall be in charge of this!”
“Yes!”
Soon, a shocking piece of news spread throughout Europe.
The cardinal of the national cult in Country Y and the former deputy leader of the Radiant Knights had all perished.
The murderer, Xue An!
This news alone was shocking enough.
But the news that followed was truly jaw-dropping.
Xue An declared he would completely eradicate the Church of Light.
This was akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest.
All of Europe was violently shaken by this incident.
True, the Church of Light had been increasingly unpopular over the years, and its current state was nowhere near its heyday in the Middle Ages.
But even a camel emaciated to death is larger than a horse.
The Dark Council and the Blood Clan, both ancient powers that had been passed down for a thousand years, had not managed to eliminate the Church of Light.
Xue An alone was challenging the Church, a world-class massive organization?
How is that possible?
