In the middle of the round table, a white-haired old man spoke slowly.

There is a pendant hanging around his neck. The pendant has a pattern of an angel stepping on a devil, but unlike Simmons's pendant, the angel on his pendant has six wings.

He is none other than the head of the Chinese Diocese of the Church of Light, Meredith Harris.

"What, Simmons is dead? How is that possible?" asked a lean red-haired man next to his seat.

The red-haired man is another red-robed bishop from the Chinese Diocese, his name is Holmes Murphy.

"I have confirmed that Simmons' soul statue has been completely shattered. Even his guardian angel has been eliminated." Harris said.

"Hiss! The guardian angels have been killed? Who did it?" Murphy asked with a shocked look on his face.

In his eyes, guardian angels are powerful beings beyond imagination.

Is there anything in this world that can destroy a guardian angel?

The other party can destroy the guardian angel, which is a huge threat to all red-robed bishops.

"Unfortunately, we still don't know who the murderer is." Harris sighed and said helplessly.

"Could it be the Dark Council?" Murphy asked.

The Dark Council is the enemy of the Church of Light. It is a loose alliance composed of werewolves, vampires, wizards, ghouls and other dark creatures.

Four hundred years ago, a protracted war broke out between the Church of Light and the Dark Parliament on the continent of Europa.

In the end, the Church of Light won the war, the headquarters of the Dark Parliament was breached, and the core members of the Parliament were burned to death in Romania Square.

After the Hundred Years' War, the power of the Church of Light completely covered the continent of Europe.

The Dark Council was greatly weakened, and the remaining members were always being hunted by the Church of Light.

If there is anyone in this world who hates the Church of Light the most, it is undoubtedly the Dark Council.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The last place Bishop Simons appeared was in Dragon City in the south of the Yangtze River. According to the information provided by the local church, it was said that a dark creature was discovered in Dragon City." The last red-robed bishop nodded.

After looking at the information in his hand, he added.

Unlike the other two people, he has black hair and standard Chinese facial features.

His name is Kang Baobo, and he is responsible for the intelligence work of the Bright Church in China.

There are four red-robed bishops in the Chinese diocese, and he is the only Chinese.

"According to intelligence, there is no powerful existence in Dragon City that can threaten Simmons. The Dark Council is most likely to plan this incident..." Kang Baobao continued to add.

"Dark Church?" Lord Harris frowned and tapped the table with his knuckles, as if thinking about something.

His voice was very cold, and just listening to it made people feel a chill.

"This is just my judgment based on the available intelligence. Moreover, according to the intelligence analysis on the scene, there are indeed residues of dark energy." Bishop Kang Baobao turned over the report in his hand and distributed it to Harris and Murphy, and continued.

.

He had served the church for twenty years, and it was the first time he saw Bishop Harris, who was known for his kindness, so cold.

"It must be the Dark Council. Apart from the Dark Council, what other force has the ability to kill a red-robed bishop with a guardian angel?" Murphy put the report together and immediately made his own judgment.

"Since the Hundred Years War, the Dark Council has been hiding for three hundred years. Now it suddenly kills a red-robed bishop. What do you think this means?" Harris asked doubtfully.

The other two red-robed bishops present fell silent.

There was no sign of Simmons' death, and even the intelligence agencies didn't receive any information about it. It was full of conspiracy.

Taking the risk to kill a red-robed bishop shows that the Dark Council has the strength to start a full-scale war again.

Could it be that the Dark Council has regained its strength?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"No matter what, we have lost a red-robed bishop! This is the first red-robed bishop to die in our church since the Hundred Years' War. No matter who the target is, we should avenge our Simmons brothers." Murphy broke.

fell silent.

"I will report our speculation to the Pope. As for how to act, we need to wait for God's guidance! Before that, no one is allowed to act without authorization! Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. May the light be with me." Harris.

His face was heavy and he spoke slowly.

He wiped the angel pendant with his fingers, and he had never felt so tired.

"Is a war really going to start?"

…

The next day is Friday

Rong Xiaoya helped clean up what happened last night, saving Ye Xiao a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Ye Xiao went to Tianlong Villa on a whim to see the progress of Rong Xiaoya's cultivation.

But before he reached the door of the Rong family, Ye Xiao discovered that this place was a little different from usual.

The usually empty parking lot of Tianlong Villa is now filled with many luxury cars.

There were many bodyguards in black guarding the door, all looking vigilant.

"Excuse me, is there anything going on with the Rong family today?"

Ye Xiao casually stopped one of the bodyguards and asked.

"Master Ye...Ye...Master!" The bodyguard recognized Ye Xiao and seemed a little shocked. He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Today, the shareholders of the board of directors came to force me to marry him. You will know when you go in."

"Shareholders? What are shareholders?" Ye Xiao was a little confused, but he didn't pay too much attention and walked straight towards the reception hall.

Before he entered the hall, he heard a loud noise.

"Rong Tianqiu, why are you so stubborn! If the Rong Group continues like this, we will all be doomed."

"All our shareholders are here, just give me the right word."

…

Ye Xiao did not rush into the hall. He stood at the door and swept his consciousness, and the situation in the hall was instantly clear.

In the living room of the Rong family, seven well-dressed people were sitting, talking around Rong Tianchou, as if they wanted to get some promise from him.

I think these are the "shareholders" that the bodyguard just mentioned.

Ye Xiao knew one of them, Rong Tianen, who was kicked out of the Rong family by Rong Hanhai.

Rong Tianen was surrounded by the remaining six people, and there was a faint feeling that he was following his lead.

"I heard that last night, Rong Xiaoya used all the capital flow of our group and went to the Dragon City Auction. With this kind of chairman who has no regard for the overall situation, our board of directors believes that she is no longer qualified to be in charge of the Rong Group." A

The old man in Tang suit said seriously.

"Yes, I also heard that she actually wanted to use 600 million Chinese coins to buy a set of useless talismans." Another middle-aged woman in Chinese clothes said.

All of them were talking to each other, talking aggressively, giving Rong Tianchou almost no chance to interrupt.

For a time, the reception hall of the Rong family was as lively as a vegetable market.

"The talisman is useful for martial arts competitions in the ring. If Master Ye wins..." Rong Tianqiu finally found an opportunity to interrupt and hurriedly explained.

But before he finished speaking, someone else immediately stood up and retorted:

"Rong Tianqiu, it's already this time, can't you see the situation clearly? Long Yuanba is a strong man in the Golden Core stage, and that Ye Xiao won? Even if you buy the talisman, what's the use? Are you going to watch it helplessly?
