The fight between Chu Kuangren and Ming Fei continued.
However, they both knew it was just a spar, and neither of them would try to hurt each other.
After a while, they both stopped.
"You are strong enough to rival a common Grand Dao Supreme Honorable cultivator," Ming Fei said.
She did not use her full strength in the spar, and neither did Chu Kuangren.
However, it was enough for her to have a clear insight into Chu Kuangren's current strength.
"Right Sky King, you are powerful too."
Chu Kuangren used Lil Ai to scan Ming Fei and realized she was just a Grand Dao Supreme Saint.
However, not everyone should be measured by common standards, such as himself and Ming Fei.
She might only be a Grand Dao Supreme Saint, but Chu Kuangren knew she could easily defeat most of the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable cultivators.
"Do you know someone named Lan Yu?" Ming Fei asked.
Chu Kuangren was surprised by the name. "How do you know the name?"
"She's my disciple now," Ming Fei explained.
Chu Kuangren was intrigued by Ming Fei's revelation. Many thoughts flooded his mind instantly, one of which was why Ming Fei would take Lan Yu as her disciple.
Was it because he was once a heretic and Lan Yu became her backup plan to oppose him?
Was it a threat?
As though Ming Fei had seen through the concerns in Chu Kuangren, she explained, "Before I took her in, I didn't know about her relationship with you."
"Is that so? What a coincidence."
Chu Kuangren simply smiled it off and did not elaborate on the point.
"Where is she now?"
"She's out training. She should be in Yin Gale Domain. A branch of our church is there. If you want to meet her, you can easily locate her at any time."
"I understand. I'll be on my way now."
With that, Chu Kuangren got up and left.
After he left, the Radiant Goddess smiled at Ming Fei. "It sucks to be misunderstood, right?"
"I don't mind," Ming Fei said.
"Heh, he'll know everything when he meets Lan Yu," the Radiant Goddess said with a smile.
It was the reason why she did not interrupt the conversation earlier.
Sometimes, intervention would make things worse and more complicated.
All she could do was wait for him to understand the truth himself.
…
Chu Kuangren left the Holy Radiant Church and headed for Yin Gale Domain.
On the way, he pondered why Ming Fei took Lan Yu as her disciple.
Was it because of Lan Yu's potential?
Or did Ming Fei take Lan Yu in as a backup plan to counter himself?
He was forced to ponder the topic. He was once the heretic, the enemy of the church, and had close contact with the Darkness Tribe.
It was normal for Ming Fei to be cautious against him.
She would do anything for the Radiant Goddess.
"If it's the former, I have to apologize to her for my rude behavior earlier when I get back. But if it's the latter…"
Chu Kuangren's expression turned cold. "Ming Fei, are you ready to become my enemy?"
Lan Yu was one of Chu Kuangren's closest people.
Anyone targeting her just to get to him would certainly face his wrath.
…
In the Radiant Church's branch in Yin Gale Domain, several cultivators of the church were praying while some were slacking off, chatting.
"I heard the Left Sky King and his men are fighting the heretics in Black Water Domain and that it's getting fierce. I heard they even sent a dozen Bishops."
"I heard that the few powerful heretics on the battlefield are all legendary beings recorded in the books."
"Let's hope for the best for the Left Sky King."
Then, someone came into the church in a hurry.
The person looked terrified as he screamed, "W-We found Jiu Yin in North Sky City, and Divine Maiden Lan Yu and the Bishops are fighting him to protect our people!"
Everyone was shocked.
Jiu Yin was one of the Eight Great Heretics, one of the evil beings recorded in the books.
"Hurry up and contact the Bishop! Tell him to send backup!"
"Most of our forces are in Black Water Domain with the Left Sky King. Even if we can send more Bishops, we won't be able to send help in time!"
Everyone got nervous.
Then, a white pillar of light descended from the sky.
A white figure with golden eyes emerged from within.
His snow-white robes and vast aura announced his arrival.
One of the Grand Priests was surprised by the person's arrival. However, he quickly led the other Priests and believers to kneel before the person.
"Child of Light!"
It was Chu Kuangren.
He asked, "Where is the Bishop of this branch?"
"Child of Light, the Bishop is fighting Jiu Yin at North Sky City with Divine Maiden Lan Yu. Please… Huh? Where did the Child of Light go?"
The Grand Bishop wanted to ask if he could assist Lan Yu, but before he could finish, Chu Kuangren had disappeared.
The Grand Bishop pondered for a moment before smiling in relief. "This is great! With the Child of Light here, we'll be fine!"
"Father, is the Child of Light that powerful?" asked one of the believers.
The Grand Priest smiled. "It's normal for you to question him since you have never seen the Child of Light in action. However, I assure you that, with the Child of Light here, Jiu Yin is no threat."
As he once followed Chu Kuangren into the Hongmeng Spirit World with Liu Hu and the others, he had seen Chu Kuangren in action.
Chu Kuangren was strong enough to kill a Killer Star from the Apocalypse Martial Society with ease.
Meanwhile, in North Sky City, people were fleeing in fear.
A massive snake with nine heads roamed free, wreaking havoc across the streets. The Yin qi it released was chilly.
The unfortunate people who got caught in the Yin qi were corroded and dissolved into cinders.
Suddenly, two flashes of light appeared before Jiu Yin.
One was the Bishop of the Yin Gale Domain branch and the other was a woman in silver armor, wielding a scepter.
"Bishop Li, I believe he's here for me. Bring the people to safety. I'll lure him away," Lan Yu said.
Then, she transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the city.
Jiu Yin went after her immediately.
"Hahaha! Divine Maiden of the Radiant Church, once I absorb the Yin core in you, I will be able to recover completely from my injuries." Jiu Yin roared in laughter.
He had not yet recovered from the injury he suffered during the fight against Chu Kuangren in Black Flame City.
Hence, when he sensed the aura in the Divine Maiden, he realized that her Yin core was extremely powerful.
If he could absorb it, he could recover to his prime.
"Nine Yin Heavenly Snake Roar!"
One of the snake heads roared at the fleeing Lan Yu.
The rumbling Yin qi expanded together with the soundwave from the roar.
"Bang!"
Lan Yu was struck, but the white light on her armor protected her from the Yin qi.
She got the armor from Ming Fei. It was a Premium Chaos Supreme Treasure, and because of it, she was capable of fighting Jiu Yin.
"Even if you have the Supreme Treasure as protection, how long can you last?" Jiu Yin scoffed.
All eighteen of his eyes stared at Lan Yu with greed.
Then, a vast Radiant aura came crashing down on Jiu Yin from the sky like a falling mountain.
"Bang!"
Caught off-guard, Jiu Yin was slammed to the ground by the force. He looked at the endless light in the sky in astonishment.
