"It's time to leave …"
Qin Fang had caused too much of a ruckus twice in a row. The entire Eagle Kingdom was in a state of panic … If he didn't leave now, when would he leave?
If King Arthur and the others really reacted, it would be very difficult for Qin Fang to leave even if he wanted to.
Now, Qin Fang definitely couldn't use his official identity … When he entered the Eagle Kingdom, he purposely revealed his whereabouts to the Holy See. He purposely set up a trap for the Holy See.
The Holy See had suffered heavy losses, so they must have already taken action.
If Qin Fang were to appear with his normal identity at this time, it would be no different from courting death …
Leaving via sea seemed to be a good choice … However, Bilbados had already used it once. Whether it would be so smooth this time, Qin Fang wasn't particularly sure.
But Qin Fang and Bilbados weren't the same kind of people. The paths they chose were also different.
Qin Fang quickly left London and headed towards the northwest of the English mainland … He planned to use the sea route there to sneak into Ireland and then leave from there.
In this way, whether it was the Holy See or King Arthur, it would be difficult for them to track his whereabouts … Qin Fang had even planned to fly from there to America and then take a connecting flight back to Long Province.
But …
Would Qin Fang's journey be so smooth?
Obviously not!
Qin Fang had just left London when he realized that he was being watched, and the person who was watching him was an expert.
"Who is it?"
It was an expert who didn't appear on Qin Fang's mini map. Qin Fang stopped in his tracks and shouted very majestically. The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword immediately appeared in his hand, carefully guarding against the opponent who was hiding in the dark.
"Looks like … I've really underestimated you!"
Sure enough, a man in a long black robe walked out from the shadows. His tone was calm and slightly surprised as he spoke.
"So strong!"
This person's aura was very fleeting. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qin Fang wouldn't even have been able to sense his existence … However, the tiny bit of aura this person revealed was enough to show his terrifying strength.
"Late stage Supreme Realm …"
This person's identity was extremely powerful. He was at least a Late Stage Supreme Martial Artist … He was much more powerful than the Church's Ascetic Randolph.
As for his identity …
Qin Fang immediately used a Detection Skill.
"Sullivan …"
When the results came back, Qin Fang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Eh … you actually know me?"
The black-robed man was also very surprised. He subconsciously muttered. Obviously, he didn't expect that Qin Fang would be able to call out his name for the first time they met. After all, he hadn't shown himself for many years.
"The famous Sir Sullivan … the director of the Holy See's Heresy Tribunal, whose status is second only to the Pope. How could I not recognize you?"
Qin Fang's eyes stared straight at Sullivan as he replied coldly.
It was because of this that Qin Fang was so cautious and careful!
This wasn't an ordinary Late Stage Supreme Martial Artist, but a world-class expert … Apart from the 'Four Emperors', the Pope and a few others stood at the highest level. Sullivan was undoubtedly one of them.
"I really didn't expect … I haven't shown myself for more than twenty years, but there's still a young hero like you among the younger generation who can recognize me at a glance!"
Sullivan's face was hidden under the hood of his black robe, and his expression couldn't be seen … However, his tone was very calm, and there wasn't much surprise. Of course, there wasn't much arrogance on his face either.
This was a top-notch figure who had long since made a name for himself. He wouldn't be complacent just because of a few words of praise from Qin Fang … However, the calmer he was, the more it made Qin Fang's hair stand on end.
"Sir, you've come this time …"
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart as much as possible, Qin Fang asked very calmly … Even if he could guess the purpose of Sullivan's visit, there were times when it was necessary to feign ignorance.
"I've heard that the Angel's Wings, the Holy See's sacred relic, has fallen into your hands … I've come this time in hopes that you can hand it over!"
Sullivan was still the same as before, speaking neither hurriedly nor slowly. However, these calm words gave off a sternness that couldn't be refused.
As expected, he'd come for the Angel's Wings.
"I'm afraid that won't do … The Darkcloud Wings, or the Angel's Wings you speak of, is my treasure!
I can't just hand it over to you just because you say you want it … If that's the case, then what if I say that the Angel's Scepter is a missing treasure of my sect? Can I go to the Holy See and ask for it? "
Sullivan truly gave Qin Fang an enormous amount of pressure …
It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Even if Sullivan didn't deliberately release his aura to oppress Qin Fang, the aura of Sullivan, who'd matured for almost a hundred years, was simply too strong.
"Of course I'm not asking for your treasure for free … I want to make a deal with you!"
Sullivan was unmoved, and didn't get angry at Qin Fang's' blasphemy 'towards the gods. Instead, he spoke abnormally calmly, as if he didn't care about anything else.
"A deal?"
Hearing this, Qin Fang was slightly taken aback. He looked at Sullivan in disbelief, not knowing what this old man was up to. "Since you say that the Angel's Wings is a precious treasure of the Holy See, then you have to take out something of equivalent value to make this deal …"
The Dark Clouds Wings were indeed a first-rate treasure. Although Qin Fang had only touched it briefly, he already knew some of its uses … Because of this, he somewhat believed that the Dark Clouds Wings were a treasure of the Holy See!
However, if the Holy See was really willing to take out something of equivalent value, Qin Fang might be willing to make a deal …
"No, no, no …"
However, Sullivan stretched out a finger and waved it lightly. "I won't take out anything … Because I've already given you what I want to make a deal with!"
"Uh …"
Qin Fang was also slightly taken aback. He stared at Sullivan in shock, and at the same time became even more cautious and vigilant.
"A few hours ago, four Supremes of the Holy See fell …" Sullivan spoke slowly.
Sullivan said slowly. His tone was very calm, as if he was just stating a fact. There was no anger or anger in his voice, as if the lives of these people had nothing to do with him.
"This is the deal you were talking about?"
Qin Fang's gaze instantly became much colder. His pupils contracted slightly, and the aura around him changed completely. He became extremely vigilant, and even the faint murderous aura around him started to ripple.
However, he still tried his best to suppress his emotions as he asked.
"That's right!"
Sullivan replied straightforwardly. "Four Supremes … This kind of loss would be a huge loss to any faction!
I'm sure no one would feel that they're losing out in exchange for a treasure … "
"Is that so?
I don't think so … "
Qin Fang retorted nonchalantly.
The loss of four Supremes was indeed not a small matter in any faction … Even if it was the wealthy and powerful Holy See, it would still be a huge loss that would cause them great heartache.
Of course, the Angel's Wings were the most precious treasure of the Holy See …
If such a treasure were to be lost in the pugilistic world, it would cause a huge commotion, and a storm of blood would be unavoidable … It wouldn't be strange for it to cause the deaths of several Supremes.
Thinking about it this way, Sullivan's words did seem to make some sense.
However, this was only a fallacious logic!
The reason why the four Supreme-Being experts of the Holy See died was none other than because they came to snatch the Angel's Wings from Qin Fang … It was also because Qin Fang's strength was tyrannical that he won the counterattack and killed the four Supreme-Being experts.
If their strength had been ordinary, then the ones who would have died would have been Qin Fang's side …
Who could be the judge for such a loss?
"Since the people of the Holy See have the guts to come and kill me, then they should be prepared to be killed by me …"
Qin Fang wouldn't back down. Even if he was facing a terrifying expert that he couldn't deal with, he would definitely not be frightened.
"Then what about me?"
Sullivan asked with a grin.
"You … are the same!"
Qin Fang's brows furrowed even tighter. Sullivan was finally starting to press the issue, and it seemed like the negotiations between the two sides were on the verge of breaking down.
"Since that's the case, I'll add another bargaining chip …"
However, to Qin Fang's surprise, Sullivan didn't immediately fall out with him. It seemed like he really wanted to discuss this deal with Qin Fang, and his tone changed.
"Uh …"
Qin Fang was even more stunned. He looked at Sullivan with incomparable astonishment, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Dorosi …"
It was only now that Sullivan lifted his head. Half of his face was revealed, and a pair of old but bright eyes appeared in Qin Fang's eyes. He calmly spat out these few words.
"Hm?"
Hearing this name, Qin Fang's emotions unnaturally fluctuated, and he looked at Sullivan in shock.
"You don't have to deny it …"
Sullivan chuckled. "Since I dare to say this, it means that I've already investigated the matter thoroughly … Dorosi went to Long Province in search of the Holy See's divine weapon, the God-Killing Spear, but unexpectedly died tragically in Ninghai of Long Province …"
"Although the experts of the Holy See who accompanied him were almost all killed by you or the people of the Covenant of Darkness … as the people of Long Province say, there's no such thing as an airtight wall in this world!"
"Although you've cleaned up the matter very thoroughly, and almost couldn't find any loopholes … you still can't completely cover up the fact that Dorosi was indeed killed by you!"
