Chapter 276 - 129: Opening the Door to Endless Consequences

Heavenly Pride Club’s meeting room.

"So Shen Fei just left like that?"

Even the Heavenly Pride members who were seriously planning to study Shen Fei’s exposed strength were stunned when they saw him disappear from Shencheng City.

That elegant man, Ni Yi, couldn’t hold back his expression either.

"Did Shen Fei just leave?"

Originally, they thought those people would take drastic measures against Shen Fei.

After all, so many resources were mobilized.

Even if Shen Fei could leave, at least he should have left a bit embarrassed, right?

But who knew they just made a mess?

After killing so many demons, did Shen Fei just run away smoothly?

"So Shen Fei escaped to safety.

But why are those people still staying in Shencheng City? If they don’t leave soon, they’re going to die there."

That stunning woman, Wen Qingqiu, frowned deeply.

What are these people hesitating about?

Are they waiting to die in Shencheng City?

Xu Zixu, who had a previously relaxed expression, heard Luan Yan’s words in the live broadcast, and his face changed dramatically, "These guys brought the Hand of God! Are they crazy?!"

The elder in the middle couldn’t hide his shock, "Are they planning to break the United Statute?"

"Dragon Emperor, what is the Hand of God?" Ni Yi, upon hearing this special name, was full of curiosity.

The remaining Heavenly Pride members listening also shared this curiosity.

Xu Zixu exhaled lightly, his previously calm eyes filled with traces of uncertainty, seemingly confused about the future situation.

Hearing Ni Yi’s question, his tone carried a bit of a confusion that had never been there before.

"The Pope of the Church, a Tier Ten Professional, his profession is ’Left Hand of God’, hence also called ’Left Hand of God’.

And he has a rather special ability to create the Hand of God.

A special artifact that can directly kill any Tier Eight or below professionals, ignoring defense, the Substitute Death Technique, and existing resurrection techniques."

"Huh? There’s such a thing?"

Not only Ni Yi, but the other young people were also stunned. It directly ignores defense, the Substitute Death Technique, and the resurrection technique to kill outright?

How can we even play with that?

"In fact, it’s not just the Church; all five great nations have it. Wu Xia has it too.

This thing is useless after the Third Transformation."

"But there’s a crucial point: anyone can use this thing."

Xu Zixu furrowed his brow as he spoke, "So, to avoid the five great nations from constantly using this thing to easily slay each other’s Heavenly Pride members."

"A long time ago, the five great nations made a United Statute.

These types of instant-kill items cannot be used against professionals from other great nations."

"So even if they appeared, it would be in other countries. But if the Church really brought them now."

"Shen Fei’s situation is minor; the subsequent consequences are major!"

"Because fundamentally, it represents Tier Ten acting directly against Low Tier professionals. If Shen Fei dies under the Hand of God."

"All professionals who haven’t undergone the Third Transformation will be in deep danger."

"When the first shot hasn’t been fired, everyone defaults to fighting with cold weapons. Once the first shot is fired."

Xu Zixu, contemplating the consequences, couldn’t help but swallow, "It’s all about who kills faster then."

"By then, you all wouldn’t be safe either, because Wu Xia will certainly retaliate."

"Once both sides start retaliating, all exhibited talents of the Heavenly Pride will become targets!"

Xu Zixu couldn’t help but slam the table in front of him while saying this, "Is the Church planning to start a war directly now?!"

After hearing Xu Zixu’s explanation, Ni Yi and others’ expressions froze.

This even involved them?

But if this really happens, and everyone can use this kind of item,

if they become targets, wouldn’t they even dare not step out the door?

"Opening the gates to endless future troubles, are the Church crazy?"

The elder sighed, even though they sparred furiously within the country with the Breaking Abyss Army.

But the blatant use of instant-kill items.

Is virtually non-existent.

Xu Zixu immediately asked, "Which Emperor is in the South China Area?"

"The Elf Empress."

"Have her rush to Shencheng City to provide support, eliminate any Church individuals at all costs, absolutely prevent her from firing the first shot."

"Otherwise, the future Heavenly Pride members will all be in danger!"

This time the elder didn’t object either, nodding, "Qingqiu, contact the Elf Empress, have her act immediately!"

...

Meanwhile.

Shencheng City.

Catherine frowned deeply upon hearing Luan Yan’s words.

Because using the Hand of God now doesn’t align with her expectations, whether it’s to complete the Nest Mother’s plan or the Church’s plan.

The Nest Mother’s instructions were to send Shen Fei to the Eye Demon Abyss.

To transform him into part of the Abyss, contributing to the grand plan of the Eye Demon Abyss.

If the Hand of God could kill Shen Fei, it would mean Shen Fei’s methods aren’t enough and he has no potential for transformation.

But if he couldn’t be killed, she would have to see Shen Fei in person to send him to the Eye Demon Abyss.

So no matter which objective is to be completed.

Now isn’t the time to use the Hand of God remotely.

"It’s too far, if he has any special abilities left, and he doesn’t die, then the damage won’t connect and it’ll be wasted."

Catherine stated.

Luan Yan, who was furious, "Hasn’t your Hand of God failed before?"

Don’t think she doesn’t know the power of the Hand of God.

While yelling, she also had to defend against the Empress’ attacks. But she kept losing ground.

In just a few moves, she was spat out again by the giant insect, her expression extremely grim.

"But he is Shen Fei!"

Catherine’s words silenced Luan Yan.

Shen Fei is indeed different.

"Richard, move us to the Flame Demon’s location!" Luan Yan shouted.

"With me, I can only send two Tier Eight people over." Richard’s words left everyone else helpless.

Currently, even with the Church’s people included, the best they could do was a stalemate.

If they sent three Tier Eights over, those left wouldn’t need mentioning; they were certain to die.

And it’s all for just a chance to kill Shen Fei.

"Decide quickly!"

Bai Yan, getting more and more desperate being hunted by Xue Hansong.

Xue Hansong’s blade cut into him over and over, blood flying everywhere.

He exhausted all the resources he had stored for years, using equipment skills and items madly now.

There’s no choice.

He’d be hacked to death by Xue Hansong.

Now, hearing Luan Yan and Catherine still hesitating, he couldn’t help but loudly remind them, "Do you really think killing Shen Fei will allow you to get away unscathed?"

"If you can’t kill Shen Fei, you’re sure to die. If you kill him, the Tier Ten members might spare us for our accomplishment!"

This one sentence.

Immediately brought Luan Yan and Catherine to their senses, they weren’t here to kill Shen Fei of their own accord, it was a mission.

If the mission failed.

Not to mention what punishments the organization might have, they might not even escape Wu Xia.

Conversely, if successful, the Pope (Sect Leader) might even lend a hand.

In an instant.

Catherine made a swift decision, "Then Bai Yan and I will go!"

Richard is from the Celestial Destiny Sect, and she must go over there, along with Bai Yan.

Perfectly representing the three forces.

In the midst of resisting the Empress’ attacks, Luan Yan gritted her teeth, "Fine!!"

In less than two minutes after Shen Fei disappeared, several quickly made a decision.

The main problem was that Shen Fei’s power far exceeded their intelligence before coming to this mission, they really thought it would be easy.

Who would’ve predicted the current outcome would be.

That they’d have to sacrifice some to ensure the possibility of eliminating Shen Fei.

"Hurry up!"

Richard’s palms surged with spatial magical power, a silver light spreading everywhere, enveloping Catherine and Bai Yan.

They disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

At the same time, several Tier Seven members from the Church swarmed out to fill in the gaps left by their departure.
