Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

By the time Yang Ling rushed to the scene, the Church had already rescued the prisoners-of-war, and was in a stalemate situation with the guards with the Pear Blossom Crossbows.

The White-Robed Cardinal Bishop personally led an army. Apart from two Holy Knights, there were also three Sage Level Spellcasters and five Red-robed Cardinals, along with the ordinary knights and spellcasters, the total number of people came up to about three hundred. They were powerful and came at Yang Ling with the full fury of their forces.

Apart from the Church, what surprised Yang Ling was that the Warrior with the golden cloak, Casia, and Elder Klive had returned after having left. But, it was precisely the two powerful factions who prevented the White-robed Cardinal Bishop from attacking immediately. If not, even the Pear Blossom Crossbows the soldiers were holding would not be able the stop the Domain Expert.

“His Lordship, why have most of our knights and spellcasters become like this?” With an indication from the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, a Red-robed Cardinal with a big beard stepped forward, and coldly said, “Please give us a reasonable explanation, or else...”

“Hmph, what happened to these houses? Who killed those innocent old people and babies?”Pointing to the whole plot of burnt houses, Yang Ling, his expression grave, returned the favor, saying “Please give me a reasonable explanation, or else...”

“You...” Looking at Yang Ling, who refused to budge and then at the burnt houses they all burnt, Big Beard was momentarily at a loss of words.

After falling silent for a while, he ruthlessly said, “Whoever has been infected by the Zombie Poison must be purified immediately, so it is unavoidable that innocents will be killed unintentionally in the process. If the Church did not take action in time, Black Water City would have been a dead town, with Zombies everywhere! You should count yourself lucky to have met the Church, and thank god for his blessing!”

After burning alive so many innocents, they still wanted his people to thank them for their massacre?

Shameless, extremely shameless, definitely worthy to be called a fraud!

“Hehe, okay, then I’ll thank you on behalf of the dead for your massacre, and the fire you set.” Yang Ling smiled in anger and said coldly, “I now regret helping the prisoners-of-war purge the Zombie Poison out of their bodies after capturing them. In order to repay you for your bestowing your kindness upon us, I should have tied them up to a pole and slowly burnt them to death to let them thank the Magical Beasts Realm for its return in kindness before their deaths!”

“You...”

After listening to what Yang Ling had to say, Big Beard’s face turned bright red, and was speechless from anger. However, traces of smiles could be seen on the faces of the others like Elder Klive and Casia standing at the side.

After a short recuperation at Black Water City, they worked together to continue to pursue the Corpse Wizard King. They did not expect the crafty Corpse Wizard King to make use of his speed to circle around the Darak Mountains, sneak back into Black Water City, and use Undead Spells to hide.

After finding out that Yang Ling had led his Magical Beasts Army to attack the knights and spellcasters stationed there and locked them up, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop sent part of his elites to search for traces of the Corpse Wizard King, while leading the other elites to charge into Black Water City. To prevent the Church and Magical Beasts Realm from exchanging blows, Elder Klive and Casia had no choice but to follow the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, to persuade him to restrain himself before the Corpse Wizard King was defeated.

“His Lordship, what proof do you have to say that our knights and spellcasters were infected with Zombie Poison?” After instructing Big Beard to step down, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, spoke while looking coldly Yang Ling, his face calm, as if it did not matter to him. His voice was not loud, but it carried clearly to every person at the scene.

“Some people are really stupid. In my hometown, we would call them stupid donkeys!” Looking at the terrifyingly calm White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Yang Ling’s expression did not change. “The corpses of those who were infected by the Zombie Poison should be buried deep underground. Using fire is the most foolish method. One could accidentally breathe in the Zombie Poison released from the corpses. As for evidence, just ask your own people to see if I did help purge the Zombie Poison out of their bodies!”

Speaking of proof, Yang Ling had it all planned out. Be it the so-called Holy Maiden, Angel, or the more than a dozen confused fellow, they did all see him force clouds of Zombie Poison from their bodies.

Sure enough, after an investigation, very quickly, the Church no longer had any doubts over the issue. Even if they were bothered about why so many knights and spellcasters all breathed in the Zombie Poison, so coincidentally, they could not doubt the more than a dozen of their own men, who all said that they saw Yang Ling purge the poison out of their bodies with their own eyes.

The Zombie Poison was so rare and horrible that even a Sage Level Expert did not dare come into direct contact with it. No one, not even the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, would have thought that Yang Ling could directly touch, and use the Zombie Poison in such a cunning way.

“Okay, even if every one was infected by the Zombie Poison, why have almost all of them taken leave of their sense? What is this about?” Seeing that Yang Ling had not done anything to give himself away, Big Beard could not help but loudly question Yang Ling, who was standing opposite him.

Even if Angel herself had said that Yang Ling did help them purge the Zombie Poison of their bodies, as a high ranking and powerful Red-robed Cardinal who had dealt with various types of people before, he could not help but feel that somewhere, something was wrong.

“If the Church could not guarantee that innocents would not be harmed in the process of purification, in the same vein, no matter how careful I was, I too, could not guarantee I could completely cure everyone!” As Yang Ling spoke, he looked at Big Beard and shook his head, pretending that there was nothing else he could do.

After a pause, he continued, “Everybody should clearly know that apart from rotting the flesh, the Zombie Poison can also eat away at one’s soul. Getting brain damage and becoming an idiot is the best possible outcome. At least they didn’t turn into a green, hairy Zombie. According to what you said, they were lucky to have met a Lord like me!”

They should count themselves lucky even when turned into idiots?

Seeing that Yang Ling was bragging without shame, Big Beard hatefully gritted his teeth. At the same time, he wish he could put his foot in his mouth. He did not expect this fellow, Yang Ling, to use his own words against him, and furthermore, did not expect this Lord to treat the Church like it was nothing in his eyes.

“Hmph, only the devil and Corpse Wizard King can suck people’s souls and turn them into idiots!” After gritting his teeth, Big Beard gave up on trying to find a reason to attack and just commanded the knights and spellcasters to march forward, preparing to capture Yang Ling.

As long as they could capture Yang Ling and bring him back to the Holy City. They could tie him to the fire column, and then, they could torture him however they wanted. There was no need to continue wasting their breath on him.

“The people nowadays are becoming more and more degenerate. To think that they are repaying other people’s kindness in this manner. Sigh, to sink so low! How dare they still call themselves the Holy Church. They might as well change their name to the Concentration Camp for the Despicable Devils!”

Seeing that Big Beard had nothing more to say and was desperate like a cornered animal, Yang Ling summoned his Magical Beast Army while talking. His army was spread vast and wide. There were Dark Dragons baring their teeth and waving their claws, loudly roaring Twin-legged Dragons, Evil Eyes which speedily got into formation... Seeing this, the Church warriors marching forward were stunned, and involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

Both sides were on guard and ready to fight on a hair trigger. Elder Klive and the Warrior with the golden cloak, Casia, standing at the side, stepped forward to be the mediators again. Given a way to back down without losing face, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop used the opportunity to order his men to stand down.

At the moment, there was nothing he could do about Yang Ling who refused to budge!

If it was the common nobility or lesser Lords, he could let Big Beard do whatever he wanted, be it to kill the other party or to bring them back to the Holy City to be tied to the fire column and be burnt to death. But Yang Ling was different. Yang Ling himself was hard to deal with already, not to mention the suffocatingly scary Magical Beast Army.

All this time, he had, through various sources, found out that this Lord, Yang Ling, had power beyond measure. However, he had not expected that Yang Ling had already broken past the Sage Level barrier, and had a strong and powerful Domain Space. Recalling the Domain Space Yang Ling had used to trap and severely wound the Corpse Wizard King, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop knew he had no choice but to proceed with caution.

A lesser Lord would be easy to deal with. Even a big Lord, or a King of a country, was nothing in the eyes of the Church. But a Domain Expert is different. A powerful Domain Expert could easily deal with tens of thousands of forces. It was even normal for one Domain Expert to vanquish an entire country.

You could not have too many defenses against a Domain killer who moved in the shadows!

If it was not necessary, the Church was unwilling to make mortal enemies with a Domain Expert. Furthermore, Yang Ling had a mysterious background. It was rumored that he came from a strong and powerful Summoner family. If Yang Ling could be a Domain Expert at such a young age, what more the old fellows, who were thousands of years old, in his family?

Additionally, he also had to seriously consider the stand of Elder Klive and the Warrior with the golden cloak. It was obvious where Elder Klive’s Dark Association stood. Even though both were on opposite sides, at least they were able to show restraint towards each other on the surface. If they were to have an all out battle because of Yang Ling, it would not be in the Church’s best interests at the moment.

The Warrior with the golden cloak, Casia, did not bring many masters with him, but the White-robed Cardinal Bishop did not dare take them lightly. Even though other people may not know how scary the Bellimore Family could be, the Church, with thousands of years of history, knew full well. No matter how powerful they were, he was unwilling to provoke this ancient family. If they managed to anger the God of Swords of the other party, who had been in hiding for thousands of years, the trouble it would bring them would be no walk in the park.

“His Lordship, two of my clansmen have been infected with Zombie Poison. Can you...” After persuading the Church to remain calm, the Warrior with the golden cloak, Casia, instructed his men to carry two Warriors in red cloaks, who were infected with Zombie Poison, forward.

Originally, he was preparing to send some men to quickly send them back for the Experts in his clan to handle. But since Yang Ling had a way to resolve it, he might as well seek help from nearby rather from afar. After all, it was a long way home and time is of the essence. The clansmen who were infected might not even be able to make halfway before they succumbed to the infection.

Clansmen who were infected by the Zombie Poison?

While looking at the two Warriors of the Bellimore Family, who were emitting a dark gas from all over their bodies, the people at the scene harbored different thoughts. Casia and his people naturally could not wait for Yang Ling to start the treatment, but the Church was hoping that Yang Ling would make a fool of himself, in order to find an excuse to humiliate and attack him.
