Chapter 97

His entire person was instantly shrouded in demonic Qi!

"A demon, how is that possible!"

Bishop Feilun's expression changed drastically!

Not just him, but all the bishops around him had their expressions change simultaneously!

Because the demonic Qi that erupted from Lance's heart was too terrifying; not only was it terrifying, but there was also a vast amount of it!

He never expected that Lance, whom he had chosen as his successor, would actually hide such dense demonic energy within his heart!

Heavens!

Had Lance's heart actually been corroded by demons to this extent?

Why did the previous examinations fail to detect it at all? What were those divine spellcasters doing?

"How is this possible!!!"

Lance's expression changed as well; even as composed as he always was, he was completely stunned!

How could there be so much demonic energy in his heart!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Didn't he know himself? He had never once come into contact with demonic energy.

His golden finger determined that he was destined to follow the path of the Holy See; how could he possibly touch demonic things!

"It's you, it's definitely you who played this trick!"

Lance pointed dead at Su Mo and shouted.

"Audacious! We have all checked the energy released by the Count, and it is entirely the holy energy bestowed by the Goddess. Now that you are facing death, you actually still want to frame my lord Count!"

A divine spellcaster shouted.

The energy within Lance's body had first passed through a Sanctuary Realm inspection.

Then, it had passed through an inspection by a group of divine spellcasters, and this group of divine spellcasters had even personally taken action to monitor the operation of this energy.

This was pure, holy energy.

There was absolutely no problem whatsoever!

Moreover, this energy was bestowed by the Goddess of the New Moon!

What kind of problem could there be?

In their view, this was merely Lance's deathbed struggle!

"This is impossible, this is definitely his trick. He is bent on killing me. I request another inspection, even if it means letting the Goddess inspect it personally!"

Seeing that all the divine spellcasters were standing guard for Su Mo, Lance panicked.

Hearing Lance's words, Bishop Feilun hesitated for a moment.

But immediately after.

"Pfft~"

Lance spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at his own chest in disbelief; there, a dagger was plunged into it.

The dagger struck his heart dead center, also causing even denser demonic energy to appear in his heart.

"You... you..."

Feeling his life rapidly slipping away, Lance pointed at Su Mo, his face full of disbelief.

Before coming out, he had imagined many scenarios for his confrontation with Su Mo.

In his view, it was merely a struggle for power within the Holy See.

And then, just being careful of Su Mo's underhanded tactics would be enough.

In his view, this clash would be very spectacular, spectacular enough to give birth to multiple "famous scenes."

Later on, it would also become a very colorful stroke in his record of achievements!

He was destined to step on the Count of Moshi Territory and walk toward a more vast sea of stars!

This meeting had also been carefully designed by him.

He wanted to overwhelm the Count of Moshi Territory, who made people hear his name and tremble, in terms of momentum!

However.

He never expected that things would actually develop like this!

The Count of Moshi Territory didn't know what tricks he had played, but he actually caused such terrifying demonic energy to appear in his body!

Not only that.

To prevent him from making a comeback, the other party had forcibly killed him at the Holy See's headquarters in front of so many bishops!

This method was too decisive!

Too ruthless!

So ruthless that even before dying, Lance felt a trace of chill!

Now, he finally understood.

Why the sign-in style protagonist had his mentality collapse!

Why the sweeping monk style protagonist was defeated so quickly!

Why, in the entire New Moon Royal Capital, so many protagonists and villains who were incomparably excellent people before transmigrating, ended up not being able to defeat the Count of Moshi Territory!

However.

He still couldn't figure it out.

How that demonic energy appeared!

What the Count of Moshi Territory used was clearly the Goddess's holy energy!

It couldn't be wrong!

A Sanctuary Realm expert and a large number of divine spellcasters were watching!

How could the Count of Moshi Territory play tricks?

Impossible!

If it were demonic energy injected by the Count of Moshi Territory, it would have been discovered immediately, and at that time, the one to die would be the Count of Moshi Territory!

How did holy energy turn into demonic energy?

He couldn't figure it out!

And he was unwilling to be defeated just like this!

"Save me, this is definitely his trick!"

Lance shouted; even with his heart pierced, he could still make a comeback.

As long as a high-rank divine spellcaster used a divine spell to heal him, he could be saved!

"Count..."

Bishop Feilun's expression changed.

"Bishop, this person has long since fallen into being an apostle of the Demon God and is extremely good at disguising himself. A friend of mine was harmed to death by him. I have been looking for him all these years, and today I finally found him. If the Bishop doesn't believe me, you can have someone check his heart; there should be a very obscure Demon God mark at the core of his heart."

Su Mo said indifferently.

Lance was so angry he spat out a mouthful of blood: "Save me first, he is deliberately trying to let me die!"

"I'll do it!"

A legendary-rank divine spellcaster appeared, first using a divine spell to stabilize Lance's injuries, and then probing his power into Lance's heart.

Upon this probe, the divine spellcaster was startled, and then his expression changed drastically.

"There really is one, it's very obscure, and it will become more and more obscure as time passes. If it hadn't been discovered by the Count this time, by the time he officially became an Archbishop, even if the Goddess inspected him personally, she might not have been able to detect it!"

This divine spellcaster said.

"Wow!"

The surrounding bishops were in an uproar.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, impossible, impossible, this is his trick!"

Lance was in despair and began to scream.

First demonic energy, then the Demon God mark; he completely didn't understand how this appeared.

He also fundamentally couldn't understand how Su Mo managed to do it.
