Chapter 258: Don't you want to take a look together?

At the Sais Wang Ting, Dai Sen was politely and courteously sent onto a carriage, exchanging distant well-wishes with the esteemed Anthony and the gods, bidding each other a courteous farewell.

Then, the Empire's Emperor led a group of royals to stand on the steps, watching Dai Sen's convoy, waving with a smile, a picture of a host and guest enjoying themselves and being reluctant to part.

Dai Sen, sitting inside the carriage, also kept poking his head out to wave, and only when the carriage drove out of the Wang Ting did he sit back inside and pull down the curtains.

Once the curtains were pulled down, his face immediately fell: "A bunch of old foxes, they're going to be the death of me."

In the shadows of the carriage, a figure emerged and said disapprovingly: "This is normal. A hunter won't let go of the hawk in their hand until they see the rabbit. My lord, we must concede more benefits."

"What benefits? A barren land in the desert, what benefits could it have? Can't they uphold the spirit of dedication to the Light, contributing money if they have money, and effort if they have effort, to conquer the heretics?" Dai Sen began to act unreasonably.

The figure didn't take the bait, hiding back in the shadows, and only after Dai Sen finished venting did they slowly say: "Those beauty treatments in Meishencheng are aimed at nobles and the wealthy. Surely many people are eyeing that place, especially those old folks. Don't they want to regain their youth and extend their lives?"

"Although there is currently no evidence to prove that Meishencheng can extend life, judging from the situation of Duke Lite's old mother, even if it can't extend life, it can allow one to live with high quality, instead of lying in bed, unable to even take care of one's own waste."

"Surely someone will be interested. There are definitely more than just us eyeing them, it's just that because of the elves, everyone doesn't want to provoke them."

"But not wanting to provoke them is one thing, and watching us swallow it all alone is another. This time, because of the Pope's face, they are willing to move, but that only goes as far as guarding against the elves; they will absolutely not help us take action. Whether we can chew down Meishencheng depends on ourselves."

The figure's self-contained analysis completely calmed Dai Sen down. In fact, Dai Sen was very calm, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to wave goodbye to the people of Sais with a smile, but he was still full of anger, and it felt better to vent it out.

"Can we take down Meishencheng?" Dai Sen asked.

The figure slowly said: "According to the current balance of power, as long as the elves don't intervene, taking down Meishencheng is no problem. The strongest force in the hands of these Abyss wanderers should be that newborn god who calls themselves the Beauty God. This kind of minor god who popped out of nowhere might be okay at surface-level work like beauty and skin rejuvenation, but their combat power might not even be as good as a Truth Mage."

Dai Sen nodded. As an Archbishop, he knew too much about things like gods to be blindly afraid. As long as one possesses enough power, god-slaying is not impossible.

"According to intelligence, these people can disguise Holy Light. When they cast divine arts, the effect is exactly the same as Holy Light, bluffing many people. Some even thought they were from our church. Unfortunately, their divine arts lack the effect of Holy Light and can only fool those who don't understand."

Dai Sen nodded. He actually already knew these things, but hearing someone repeat them could deepen the impression and also inspire more ideas.

"Like all Abyss wanderers, their composition is too complex—humans, Black Knights, half-blood Titans, corpse dragons, silver dragons, goblins, everything is there, making it hard to unite them. We have already sent people to infiltrate and spread rumors, saying the Black Knights want to blood-sacrifice the humans, the humans want to skin the dragons, and the corpse dragons and silver dragons want to eat the goblins, and so on."

Dai Sen nodded: "Hmm, standard operation. By the way, spread rumors that the Goblins have abducted ninety-nine elf maidens and are preparing to sell them to underground brothels, to see if we can enrage the elves."

The figure nodded: "That's a good idea. By the way, go to the Dwarves' territory and spread rumors, saying that the half-blood Titans look down on them, these shorties, and warn them not to claim they have Titan blood, and so on. Isolate them as much as possible. You said that at the Plane Safety Assembly, these Abyss wanderers actually got five supporting votes."

After some discussion, the figure asked: "Their god, how do you plan to deal with them? Even a weak god is still a god."

Dai Sen smiled slightly: "My Lord had a hard clash with Harvey before. This kind of minor god is just right to be taken to supplement My Lord."

When mentioning My Lord, Dai Sen's chest glowed slightly.

Just at this moment, Dai Sen felt the carriage slowly decelerate and finally come to a stop.

They had just left the Sais Wang Ting and were currently estimated to still be on the edge of the Wang Ting. For a great empire of tens of millions, the Wang Ting's garrison was strict; no enemy could organize an attack at such a close distance, unless it was that kind of lone-wolf attack.

And Dai Sen's own protective power was not weak. Ever since Anthony claimed to have been assassinated and Nikolai was truly assassinated, capable people across the entire plane had unanimously strengthened their security forces, and Dai Sen was no exception.

He was very certain that Anthony was definitely plotting in the dark to kill him, and he was no exception; not only was he plotting, but he had already implemented it once.

It was just a pity that the Dominion Angel Luna was not up to the task and was actually forced by Anthony to reveal her fallen power, and then beaten to death by a group.

Now, Dai Sen's guard force was the strongest lineup he could muster, and having just left the Wang Ting, it was impossible for anyone to launch an attack here, unless the Sais Wang Ting wanted to kill him.

However, this possibility was minimal, so Dai Sen opened the carriage window with peace of mind and asked outside: "What happened? Why did we stop?"

"Uh, my lord, I don't know how to say it. You'd better come down and see for yourself," the guard beside the carriage said hesitantly.

Dai Sen walked out of the carriage puzzled, and the figure hidden in the shadows also followed down.

That was an armored person wearing full-body armor, revealing only a pair of eyes. From the gap between leaving the shadows and pulling down the mask, one could see their face, which actually looked exactly like Dai Sen's.

Walking to the front of the convoy, Dai Sen looked forward and instantly understood why the guard didn't know how to say it and insisted on him coming down to see it himself.

I saw that on the side of the road in the distance, dozens of Holy Spirit Angels were gathered in a circle, poking their heads and looking toward the middle.

Yes, dozens of Holy Spirit Angels, each with snow-white wings on their backs, emitting a holy faint light. Among them, one pair of wings was particularly large; it might be a four-winged angel.

These Holy Spirit Angels, who were rarely seen, had their backs to Dai Sen's convoy, poking their heads and looking toward the middle, where holy light was being emitted.

Seeing such a scene, aren't you curious? Aren't you shocked? Don't you want to crowd over and take a look together?

The mages, divine officials, and saints in the convoy kept reporting:

"Safe."

"Air safe."

"Underground safe."

"There is a horse wearing a fur hat a few kilometers ahead, safe."

Listening to the sounds of "safe," Dai Sen also felt relieved and stretched his neck to look at the place surrounded by the Holy Spirit Angels. If the other party weren't Holy Spirits, he would have already sent a Wizard's Eye over. Now, he could only signal the guards to send someone over to take a look.
