After being trained as slaves, they all became masters of their own affairs.

Lu Ya said, looking at the people coming and going around, and smiled: "But forget it, we can talk about anything after you come back from the Holy See Church, exchange student~"

……

At noon, eleven o'clock sharp.

Karen followed the itinerary without any deviation and returned to Church Ark after being interviewed by reporters.

Bao Jing Chizuru pressed the elevator button for the eleventh floor for her, and then bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the church staff are waiting for you in the conference room."

Kailin said "hmm" softly, then seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "Where's he?"

Bao Jing Qianhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Yu Ze should be having dinner in the hall. Do you need me to contact him to come and see you?"

Kailin shook her head: "Let's finish the meeting first, there's no rush."

The exchange student matter has been confirmed and the people are still on the ship and cannot escape.

So... there's no need to rush.

Karin took the elevator to the large conference room in the Ark.

Bright and blazing conference lights illuminated the entire conference room. The room was filled with high-ranking church officials sitting in their respective seats. Some of them were semi-transparent images, which were projected through EVA's virtual images. They came from the star, and many meetings were conducted in this way.

After a long wait, the blonde woman in an elegant long dress walked into the conference room under countless expectant gazes after Chizuru Baojing opened the door.

She was tall, dignified and beautiful. She looked around at the people present and said slowly, "After the church ark stays in Pingcheng for three days, it will officially set off to return to the Holy See Church. Do you have any suggestions or opinions?"

Bishop Norton from Lixing raised his hand and said, "Your Holiness, the purpose of the church coming to Pingcheng before was, first, for Ji Ningshuang, and second, for Pingcheng Dongtian... At present, Ji Ningshuang's purpose has not been figured out, and no one has been sent to collect the mysterious substance in Pingcheng Dongtian. Wouldn't it be a bit... too hasty to leave now?"

When he finished speaking, there was a hint of cautious inquiry in his tone.

After these words were spoken, many clergymen in the meeting nodded secretly.

For the mysterious substance in Pingcheng Cave Heaven, the church did not come out in full force, but even His Holiness the Pope came to Pingcheng in person, which was enough to show that the church was determined to obtain this mysterious substance.

But now, if we leave without obtaining the mysterious substance, wouldn’t all our efforts be wasted?

Seeing a low discussion coming from the conference room, Chizuru Baojing, who was standing quietly aside, subconsciously glanced at Kailin.

The Pope, with brilliant blond hair, remained calm as he reached out and pressed a button beside the table.

A huge 3D screen came into view, and on the screen were the photos and identities of the dozen or so demon cultivators who were captured last night.

Amid the low-pitched discussions, Kailin said in a gentle voice, "I think everyone has heard about the movement of the demon cultivators in the church's Ark last night, right?"

"Have you ever thought about why these demon cultivators dared to sneak into the Ark and try to get information from within the church?"

Everyone present subconsciously looked at Kailin.

The Pope paused for a moment and announced the answer: "The Demon Realm Overlord, Demon King Su Dieying will appear in the world when the next passage is opened."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people in the meeting changed drastically.

Su Dieying... This name was not unfamiliar to any of the clergy present. In the past, when they were fighting with demon cultivators on the inner star, they had heard Su Dieying's name from many demon cultivators.

Including when I traveled to the heavens, I had also heard about the ruler of the demon realm.

"Why did His Holiness the Pope suddenly mention her? Could it be that the owner of Pingcheng Dongtian is related to Su Dieying?" Bishop Mainin suddenly hesitated.

Kailin nodded without comment: "The owner of Pingcheng Dongtian is Su Dieying's best friend."

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

Many clergymen looked at each other with dissatisfaction, surprise and some disbelief on their faces.

The owner of Pingcheng Dongtian is Su Dieying’s best friend... ?

If this is true... then Pingcheng Cave Heaven really cannot be moved.

Even if we leave Su Dieying aside, the master of Pingcheng Cave Heaven is able to become close friends with the Demon King... The strength of the master himself is probably not too bad.

If we really invade Pingcheng Cave Heaven by force, even if we can take away the mysterious substance inside, we will probably have to pay a heavy price.

Paying such a price for the mysterious material in that cave, and also offending Su Dieying... Is it worth it? Karen's decision has already given the answer.

At this time, Kailin slowly spoke to break the silence: "The church has no plans to become enemies with Su Dieying and the Demon Realm for the time being, so this action must be abandoned."

"Compared to this matter, there is another matter to deal with right now."

Kailin's eyes suddenly turned cold: "The Church Ark has been inspected by the EVA, but demon cultivators were still able to sneak on board. This means that someone is colluding with the demon cultivators."

"After returning, it's time to clean up the church."

……

After finishing the meeting, Karin did not leave immediately, but looked at Modesty who was about to leave, as if thinking about something.

"Modesty, wait a moment."

Suddenly he called her.

Modesty stopped and subconsciously looked back at Karin.

"Your Holiness, do you have any instructions?"

"If I remember correctly, among the demon cultivators imprisoned in the Light Prison last night, there was a demon lord named Hong Yuan in your hands, right?" Kailin asked.

Modesti nodded, and then said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry... I haven't been able to get any useful information from the demon lord yet."

"No need."

Kailin said calmly.

Modesti's heart tightened and she subconsciously looked at Karen.

What does no need mean...?

Could it be that His Holiness the Pope dislikes my interrogation efficiency and decides to hand this task over to someone else...

At this time, Kailin continued: "She has already told us everything she knew last night, let her go."

Modesti was stunned for a moment: "Release...?"

She once wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

A fourth-rank demon lord... just let go like that?

"In three days, the travelers in this world will return to heaven."

Kailin said in a gentle and calm voice: "Unless Hong Yuan is killed here, she will be able to return to the demon realm when the time of crossing is up."

"The Holy See Church has no plans to become an enemy of the Demon Realm for the time being."

"What's more, we already have the list of chaebols who are secretly colluding with the Lixing demon cultivators."

Modesti's eyes moved slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "Did Hong Yuan confess?"

She had tried every possible means yesterday, but the demon lord refused to confess. In the end...

By the way, when did Hong Yuan secretly confess to His Holiness the Pope?

While Modesty was still in shock, Kailin handed her a piece of letter paper and said, "After returning to the church, have someone find out what to do with the people on this list. You can then consult Chizuru Hosui."

When Modesti heard the name of Chizuru Baojing, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

She had always dreamed of serving Karin in the future, and she wanted to take over the job of that woman from the Divine Island.

But now, I have to ask her for instructions...

But soon, Modesti thought of something and her eyes lit up slightly.

No... If it were in the past, this kind of task would definitely be given directly to Chizuru Baojing, but now that the task is given to her, it means that His Holiness the Pope is intentionally cultivating her!

This is a very good sign!

Modesti took the list and bowed respectfully: "Yes."

After bowing and retreating, Modesti immediately came to the top deck and threw the woman in the red dress with the lantern out of the cage of light.

The fiery red figure, which was originally only the size of a palm, gradually transformed into a charming and attractive woman.

“I didn’t expect the church to be so honest.”

Hong Yuan looked up and down at the nun in front of her, with a charming and seductive smile on her face.

And that little brat from last night, I didn’t expect that he could actually speak in front of Karen, it was really surprising.

"That's the mercy of His Holiness the Pope. Let's leave quickly before we change our minds." Modesty put her hands in front of her, with a smile on her face.

When Hong Yuan turned around, she seemed to remember something and suddenly smiled and said, "Thank that little devil for me when you get back."

Imp?

There was confusion in Modesti's eyes at first, but soon, a look of slight realization appeared on her face.

Yu Ze...

So, the reason why Hong Yuan was willing to hand over the list last night was related to him... ?

……

That day, Yu Ze woke up in the early morning sunshine. Feeling the soft touch of the delicate body beside him, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the woman next to him.

Karin.

During this period, in addition to taking Baiyin to the church Ark to eat and drink, Yu Ze spent most of his time "serving in the bed".

Well... this description is actually quite accurate.

Because most of the time he might be summoned by Ji Ningshuang during the day and called back by Kailin in the afternoon...

After all, Yu Ze is now an exchange student, so traveling back and forth between the church's Ark would not arouse suspicion.

Only Chizuru Baojing looked at him with increasingly strange eyes during this period. In the whole church, only this confidant of Karin knew the real reason why His Holiness the Pope summoned Yu Ze.

"God of Light, I'm sorry..."

Early that morning, Chizuru Baojing was standing at the door of the room, making the sign of the cross and praying devoutly, apologizing to the God of Light.

It was she who brought Yu Ze to see Kailin yesterday.

This made her feel full of guilt towards the God of Light.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

Kailin, wearing a loose nightgown, stood at the door of the room and said softly, "Qianhe, I have something for you to do."

"Yes... I will go and ask Mr. Yu Ze right now -"

"I didn't come to you for this kind of thing, and isn't he in the room?"

Kailin sighed faintly: "Qianhe, don't always think about the love between men and women."

Chizuru Hosoi: “???”

Kailin continued, "It will be time to return from the time travel this afternoon. After the time travel is over, the church's ark will be activated immediately. Before that, you should go see Ji Ningshuang first and confirm with her and the official personnel whether there are any other issues regarding the cooperation between the inner planet and the outer planet."

Bao Jing Chizuru quickly came to her senses and saluted: "I will do it right away."

Karen closed the door and went back into the room, looking at the boy who was mentally exhausted after the ordeal last night.

A gentle smile appeared on her face and she gently hugged him in her arms.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time of travel came silently.

Countless travelers stayed quietly in their rooms, waiting for the countdown to begin.

Heaven, the realm of demons.

If the monks from heaven were asked to evaluate where the most cruel place to live in the Eastern Continent is, most of them would give the same answer - the Demon Realm.

This is because the demon realm is a world where strength is paramount, and demon cultivators are born with amazing combat power, and most demon cultivators have blood on their hands.

In the past, when the previous Demon King died and the Demon Realm was leaderless, there had been countless conflicts.

But now, the demon realm has gradually stabilized.

The reason for this is because of the woman who stepped on countless corpses and achieved the title of Demon King.

Su Dieying.

Even the most bloodthirsty demon cultivators would not have the slightest intention of resisting the Demon King who held supreme power in the Demon Realm.

After all, being able to stand out from the brutal struggle among twenty-six demon lords and turning the demon cultivators who were her enemies in the past into friends, it is hard not to be impressed by her broad mind and charm.

The moment the time travel began, the first thing the demon lord Hong Lian did after opening her eyes was to rush to the palace hall.
