Felice spoke.
Hill and the other fallen angels were stunned, all looking over. Hill’s brow furrowed, his gaze falling on a young man from the Dark Church. He had previously asked the youth to investigate Zhang Wei’s information and had mentioned that Zhang Wei had enemies.
Instantly.
The young man from the Dark Church felt Hill’s gaze and responded:
“It’s not impossible, Lord Hill. I showed you Zhang Wei’s information. He has had a grudge with the Senluo Division for a long time. In the past, the Senluo Division sent people to assassinate Zhang Wei. The two sides are sworn enemies, especially since Zhang Wei has advanced to the half-step Zhenguo level.”
“I think no one would let a half-step Zhenguo level enemy go unchecked. They would wish for him to die sooner. However, Zhang Wei possesses a Zhenguo-level artifact, which might make it difficult for the Senluo Division to act. But now is indeed a good opportunity.”
Before he finished speaking.
The Dark Church stated directly:
“Lord Hill, you said that if Zhang Wei’s life was threatened, we could eliminate the Senluo Division. Therefore, I subsequently investigated the Senluo Division. This ghost organization, the Senluo Division, is very powerful. It has existed for hundreds of years and has been repeatedly suppressed, yet it has not been destroyed.”
“Even after each suppression, not only did they resurface, but they became even stronger. A few months ago, the Yin-Yang Division, a ghost exorcist organization from Sakura Country, was approached across borders by the Senluo Division. It is said that the Senluo Division wiped out a ghost power in Sakura Country with a Zhenguo-level expert overnight.”
“That ghost power was also a major force that had existed for over several hundred years. After being eliminated overnight by the Senluo Division, the Yin-Yang Division went to investigate and was also affected. One Zhenguo-level Onmyoji was killed on the spot by the Senluo Division.”
“Therefore… the Senluo Division is capable of threatening Zhang Wei’s life. However, if our Dark Church were to eliminate them, it might not be smooth sailing and would require a great price. I did not lead people to act, especially since we have suffered too many losses this time with the Church.”
It could be seen that.
As Hill listened to the young man’s words, his frown deepened, and his eyes gleamed with thought, pondering something.
At this time.
Wilber, who was beside him, was the first to respond:
“If the Senluo Division is that large, given Zhang Wei’s current situation, they are highly likely to act. We need to take this matter seriously.”
Felice also nodded in agreement:
“If I were a high-ranking member of the Senluo Division, I would choose to kill Zhang Wei at this time. After all, it is easiest to kill Zhang Wei now, and by killing him, one could also obtain a Zhenguo-level artifact for free. I think no one would be unwilling to obtain a Zhenguo-level artifact.”
Other fallen angel leaders also chimed in:
“If Zhang Wei is recuperating in the Church, he should be fine. But if he returns to Great Xia, his chances are slim.”
“Zhang Wei shouldn’t be foolish. If he returns to Great Xia now, he will definitely be targeted by the Senluo Division. He should stay in the Church to recuperate.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t forget, besides the Senluo Division, Zhang Wei has also offended the Dark Church and the fallen angels. He doesn’t know that Lord Satan has forbidden us from killing him. Do you think he would prefer to stay in the Church or return to his own country to heal?”
It was also at this time.
Hill finally made a move, raising his hand to interrupt the conversation of the fallen angels and said in a deep voice:
“We cannot let Zhang Wei be in mortal danger. Even if he is protected by the Pope in the Church, we cannot be at ease. The full details of the Senluo Division are not clear, and we cannot rule out the possibility of the Senluo Division making a move against Zhang Wei within the Church.”
Upon hearing this.
Felice couldn’t help but say:
“Then what is your intention, Hill?”
Hill looked over at her and slowly said:
“Rather than letting Zhang Wei be protected by others and worrying about his safety from afar, it is better for us to protect him ourselves.”
At that moment.
Felice and the other fallen angel leaders were stunned for a moment, but then quickly nodded, agreeing with Hill’s idea:
“If others protect him, we won’t be at ease. If we protect him ourselves, at least we can be more at peace.”
“Indeed, if we protect him and something happens, at least if Lord Satan blames us, we can say we did our best and were not blamed for failing to do our job.”
“This idea is indeed good, but… how should we protect him ourselves? Should we tie Zhang Wei up? That would likely be counterproductive. The Church and the Great Xia Guard Division attach great importance to Zhang Wei. If we do that, we might face not the Senluo Division, but an encirclement and attack by three forces.”
As they spoke, they all looked towards Hill.
Hill looked up and glanced sideways:
“We definitely cannot tie him up. And why would we tie him up? We don’t want Zhang Wei’s life; we want to protect him. Therefore… we can protect him openly.”
As he said this.
Even Samwell and the others were stunned.
…
The next day.
In the room where Zhang Wei was staying in the Church.
“Zhang Wei, this is your protector sent by the Guard Division. He is also my second martial uncle.”
Lu Lianxue introduced an old man who walked in from the door.
He was wearing the Daoist robes of Mount Longhu and had an immortal-like demeanor. Just standing there, even an ordinary person could tell that this old man was extraordinary. Even if he were pretending to be a fortune teller now, one would not think he was a charlatan or a swindler.
“Greetings, second martial uncle. I am Zhang Wei.”
Upon learning that the other party was a relative of Lu Lianxue, Zhang Wei immediately asked Lu Lianxue to help him up to pay his respects.
However.
The second martial uncle stopped Zhang Wei:
“Zhang Wei, there’s no need to be so formal with this old Daoist. You are injured now, so you don’t need to worry about those worldly courtesies. This old Daoist has heard much about you from Miss Lianxue, and seeing you now is even better than hearing about you. You are truly like a dragon among men.”
In his words.
The second martial uncle stroked his gray beard and took out the medicinal drugs brought by the Guard Division, preparing to treat Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei smiled and said:
“Second martial uncle, you praise me too highly. I am nowhere near that excellent.”
“No need to be modest. If you weren’t excellent, you wouldn’t have made it into the top ten of the Old Generals Ranking. Your strength is evident to all.”
Speaking of which.
Lu Lianxue also whispered into Zhang Wei’s ear:
“Zhang Wei, you don’t know, but yesterday the Old Generals Ranking was updated again, and your ranking has moved up one spot. You are now fourth, and my second martial uncle is third. If you say you are not excellent, then aren’t you also saying that my second martial uncle is not powerful? After all, he is only one spot higher than you, and the seniors ranked below you would also be spitting blood from anger.”
Towards the end.
Lu Lianxue covered her mouth and chuckled, happy in her heart that Zhang Wei had moved up in the rankings and become even more famous and powerful.
It was also at this time.
Upon hearing Lu Lianxue’s words, Zhang Wei immediately looked at his second martial uncle and said:
“Second martial uncle, I am indeed very excellent, excellently outstanding. Not only am I like a dragon among men, but I think I am a reincarnated immortal, incredibly powerful, the kind that is invincible in the world.”
The second martial uncle was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh out loud:
“Young friend Zhang Wei, you are very amusing.”
“Not at all, I… hmm?”
Just as Zhang Wei was about to say something, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the window.
At the same time.
The second martial uncle also looked over, his brow furrowed.
In addition to this.
The Pope and the cardinals in the Church also sensed something and looked in the same direction.
