Grasping the gift box, Xiao Yefeng swiftly entered the Cathedral, weaving through the crowded sea of people. Just as he was about to pass through, a man in a white robe holding a thick book emerged from the last door.
"The engagement ceremony is currently underway. Please wait a moment, sir!" the man in white said with a smile, cradling the book.
At that moment, the vampire who had just spoken to Xiao Yefeng noticed him being blocked. He pushed back one of the obstructing individuals with a claw and said, "Eren, what are you doing? That's the target! Go stop that man in white!"
Meanwhile, the werewolf who had just attacked Catherine paused, turning to look at Xiao Yefeng and the Cardinal at the entrance. With a sneer, he said, "Hmph, this is your first and last time commanding me. After this mission, when we meet again, I will crush your heart, White!"
With that, the werewolf dashed forward on all fours like a beast, ignoring the astonished onlookers. Seeing the werewolf charging at him, the Cardinal dared not resist. He quickly pressed his hands against the book he held close to his chest and earnestly proclaimed, "God created everything; please have mercy on your followers and purify these sinners before us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pure white light shone down upon the werewolf and vampire. The vampire furrowed his brow and prepared to flee, but the werewolf shouted, "Old fool! Stop pretending! You pray while I unleash my power! If you're going to leave, do it quickly!"
In an instant, Xiao Yefeng caught a glimpse of a large werewolf standing on two legs behind the first werewolf. The first one lunged at the Cardinal and quickly overpowered him. Although both were at the Peak of Bright Strength in terms of realm, their cultivation systems differed significantly. The Cardinal's abilities resembled traditional Feng Shui techniques—weak in physicality but possessing bizarre powers—while the werewolf represented Eastern Martial Arts cultivation. In close combat at equal levels, Martial Arts cultivation had an overwhelming advantage. Moreover, the Church's methods were designed to counter vampires; for werewolves, their true adversaries were the holy knights under the Church.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng felt a slight sense of appreciation for both the vampire and werewolf; after all, they were creating opportunities for him while Li Xiangjun had already forced her way into the inner hall.
The one who should have left was himself. Nodding towards the vampire and werewolf, Xiao Yefeng stepped into the final corridor leading to the inner hall. Just then, a man clad in light leather armor wielding a Western sword emerged. He was one of the knights stationed there alongside the Cardinal. Seeing Xiao Yefeng approach ignited his anger; he had just been thwarted by an old man and now found himself face-to-face with a young man.
Unable to contain his frustration any longer, he drew his Western sword and lunged at Xiao Yefeng. In that instant, he felt a blur before his eyes—the young man holding the gift box had vanished from sight. As he turned to see what was happening behind him, Eren—the vampire who initially commanded the werewolf—struck with Blood Energy towards this knight.
As vampires battled knights and werewolves clashed with Cardinals, they carved out one last path for Xiao Yefeng. However, within the Cathedral where divine power was omnipresent, it suppressed both vampires and werewolves alike. The initial ability to overpower bishops and knights stemmed from sheer force; but as Xiao Yefeng traversed through the corridor into the inner hall, the Church's counterattack began.
Yet even amidst this counterattack, there was no shortage of vampires and werewolves; coupled with some Gene Warriors modified by werewolves' genetics, fierce battles raged outside while Xiao Yefeng finally faced his enemies upon entering the inner hall.
Crossing through a long corridor, Xiao Yefeng arrived at the inner hall where he found a man leaning against a pillar at its entrance, panting heavily. The overturned tables and chairs indicated that Li Xiangjun had already been here; however, her restraint left Xiao Yefeng facing an obstacle in his advance.
"Here again? I never expected you Huaxia people to join forces with the Divine Descent Society to attack our Cathedral. Have you fallen so low?" The man, clad in leather armor similar to the one worn by the previous man, drew his Western Sword, ready to fight Xiao Yefeng.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng laughed heartily and replied, "What Divine Descent Society? I don't know anything about that. I'm here to rescue my sister, and anyone who stands in my way will die! You manipulate Aunt Qing with such despicable means—what right do you have to speak?"
Clearly, this man was aware of the Church's inner workings, as he had no retort to Xiao Yefeng's words. However, just as Xiao Yefeng was about to defeat him, a group of Divine Descent Society members rushed in from behind, seemingly ignoring Xiao Yefeng. Three or four Gene Warriors surrounded the knight, while others charged into the corridor behind them, leaving Xiao Yefeng bewildered.
Xiao Yefeng was prepared for battle, yet this group from the Divine Descent Society directly surrounded the knight. The last person to enter the corridor even gestured for Xiao Yefeng to hurry up!
Thus, surrounded by the members of the Divine Descent Society, Xiao Yefeng passed through another obstacle. At this point, Liu Yiyi's engagement ceremony—the place of blessing—was just ahead. This time, the last group of Divine Descent Society members had also depleted their numbers; now Xiao Yefeng would truly have to face everything alone.
A pure white light emanated from the doors of the Cathedral before Xiao Yefeng, where Li Xiangjun stood alongside a man dressed in red with golden-trimmed sleeves. This man was Cardinal Torres, one of the two highest-ranking individuals in the Church after the Pope.
Upon seeing Xiao Yefeng arrive, Li Xiangjun was momentarily stunned and then exclaimed in surprise, "Uh? Feng, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yefeng's expression was icy as he fixed his gaze on the inner hall. "I'm here to rescue my sister. The Church has taken her to participate in a wedding, and I intend to bring her back!"
"Well! Feng, you see that the Church won't let us in! Why don't you just wait a moment?" Li Xiangjun was quite shrewd; if there were an award for best actor, Xiao Yefeng would definitely vote for him.
"I don't care! My sister has been taken away; I must save her!" With that, Xiao Yefeng stepped forward like a streak of light towards the inner hall.
Cardinal Torres knew that these two were merely putting on a show. However, everything about Huaxia's plan seemed so reasonable. At that moment, Cardinal Torres raised his hand and summoned a beam of pure white light aimed at Xiao Yefeng's path. Yet Li Xiangjun flicked his sleeve and sent a wave of water crashing against the white light. "You entered first and then attacked my Huaxia junior? Are you trying to provoke a war?"
His words dropped like a bombshell on Torres. At that moment, Torres found himself at a loss for how to respond. Just then, two more figures emerged from within the hall. Li Xiangjun raised an eyebrow; things were getting complicated. These two were old acquaintances: Holy Knight Davis and his apprentice Gold-Bruce, known as the Western Holy Knight.
Xiao Yefeng's abilities were undeniable; however, Li Xiangjun had personally tested Gold-Bruce's strength. Gold-Bruce had entered Inner Force seven years ago and earned the title of Holy Knight. After seven years apart, Gold-Bruce's strength must have undergone a qualitative leap. Although Xiao Yefeng was strong, he had only just entered Inner Force; seven years made for a significant gap—a gap of quality!
Xiao Yefeng was also at the level of True Spiritual Power, equal to Jin. This time, Jin had been brought out by Davis, clearly to obstruct Xiao Yefeng. It seemed that Torres' earlier words would come back to bite him.
"Ah, isn't this Brother Li Lao? Long time no see! Come, come, let's have the young people solve the young people's problems. It's been ages since the three of us got together; let's catch up!" Davis said as he pulled Li Xiangjun along.
Li Xiangjun couldn't just walk away; his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yefeng. He had come specifically to protect Xiao Yefeng, never expecting that the Church would be so shameless as to send out a thirty-seven-year-old Jin to block a twenty-year-old like Xiao Yefeng.
At that moment, seeing the worried look in Li Xiangjun's eyes, Xiao Yefeng understood his intentions. He smiled and nodded, signaling him not to worry. Li Xiangjun could only let out a sigh as Torres and Davis moved away from the entrance, making way for the two younger men. Of course, Jin couldn't really be considered young, but among those with Inner Force, he was still relatively young given his level.
"Are you here to disrupt my Church's grand event?" Jin was a standard Western handsome man, but his awkward Chinese made him sound somewhat stiff. Xiao Yefeng glanced at Jin but chose to ignore him, focusing instead on the inner hall.
Jin felt his anger rising when he realized Xiao Yefeng was ignoring him. Discovered by Davis in his teens, he had trained without any bottlenecks; although slow, his progress had been smooth. He was the first to enter Holy Knight Jin at thirty within the Church! However, this success had left cracks in his mindset over the past seven years. His cultivation had stagnated despite not being wasted time.
Jin's understanding of divine power had become more solidified during these years. Yet, with success came arrogance; he had endured too much flattery over these seven years, which had consumed his Dao Heart. He could no longer tolerate any insult directed at him, and Xiao Yefeng's indifference had crossed a line.
"Clang!"
Jin drew his Western Sword, which was different from the one held by the vampire. Though they appeared similar, Jin's sword was noticeably shorter and wider than the slender blade of the vampire's weapon.
Having lived in the West for over a decade, Xiao Yefeng was quite familiar with such swords. This was indeed a Western Sword but a variant known as a knight's short sword. It could combine with a spear shaft to form a knight's lance; when not combined, it served as a short sword. Since Xiao Yefeng didn't see any spear shaft on Jin's back, it seemed he wasn't carrying one.
