The anesthetized Fiery Cat Demon was tied up by Demon Lancer Shi Ku with a rope and carried on his long spear all the way back to the foot of Lotus's mountain. Soon, other Adventurers also got the news and gathered around curiously.
“Watch closely. Once this fiery red Cat Demon wakes up…”
Po Feng pulled out a purchased World Instrument from his embrace, poured it into the Fiery Cat Demon's mouth, and quickly retreated a few steps.
Whoosh!
Under everyone's terrified gaze, the Cat Demon's four claws began to burn with an orange-red flame, and sparks shot out from between its sharp fangs. It looked eerie no matter how one saw it.
Po Feng's fist glowed blue, and he pummeled the Fiery Cat Demon to death with a flurry of attacks. He then scanned the Adventurers who had gathered around and said in a deep voice, “Now that the weather is dry and hot, if this thing wakes up, it will inevitably run around due to the unfamiliar environment, and the consequences…”
Before he finished speaking, almost everyone's skin felt a chill. They were currently on the Tian Wei Giant Beast, thousands of meters high in the sky. Without parachutes or mogaduo, it would be difficult to escape even if they wanted to.
Although Po Feng didn't explicitly say who left the Fiery Cat Demon, some people had already guessed a bit. While a surge of anger fermented, their admiration for Ye Lin also deepened.
“Big shot, you really didn't lie to us!”
“That's right, that's right.”
“Lotus, it seems he has been killed by the big shot?”
On the mountaintop, the majestic temple had completely collapsed. The enormous Lotus lay motionless amidst a pile of ruins. The tentacles that had previously given the Adventurers so much trouble were also still. The entire area suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Lotus was killed by The team?
After Lotus's death, the mental control was lifted. The believers who hadn't yet turned into octopuses sat limply on the ground, bewildered. For a moment, they couldn't figure out what had happened. They only remembered a giant Apostle descending from the sky, and then... they couldn't remember.
“The GBL Church sincerely thanks you, but please allow me to handle the current situation. I will personally visit to express my gratitude another day.”
Isha Dula first bowed to The team, then hurried off with Ophelia, who had jumped off the airship, and Van Zhelis, who had just woken up and arrived, to deal with the believer issues.
“Hey, are our matters over? Can we go home? We need to tell the Bishop about this.”
Yuena couldn't help but lower her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. The Adventurers watching were too fanatical. That extremely reverent gaze made Mai Lu hide behind Siate.
“No, there's still something unresolved.”
Ye Lin was very dissatisfied now, extremely dissatisfied. The reason was that Lotus was too stingy!
He kept calling him Luo Zong, and he was an Apostle, the primordial darkness, yet he only gave three epics and one artifact. Stingy, too stingy!
【Lotus's Spiked Tentacle】: (Artifact) (LV35) (Katana)
Physical Attack +361
Magic Attack +399

The three epics were 【Eye of Lotus】, 【Heart of Lotus】, and 【Touch of Lotus】.
【Lotus's Remnant Thought】: (Epic) (Set)
When attacking, 7% chance to cause the enemy to enter a confused state.
Consumes all magic power to temporarily transform the enemy into an octopus. Success rate decreases as the opponent's level increases.
………
“Three things. Ophelia's adoptive father, Judge Marcel, is still inside the Tian Wei Giant Beast. I want the technology for donier and the Dragon Head Cannon, but that can wait until I talk to Isha Dula. And finally, Mo Mei is about to… awaken.”
Siate and Yuena were both incredibly surprised upon hearing this. They looked sideways at the motionless Mo Mei, and sure enough, strange Nianqi petals slowly floated around her, and a more powerful aura seemed to be brewing within her body.
Mo Mei closed her eyes tightly, her powerful Nen floating her twin ponytails behind her. She held a flickering Lotus in her palm, but her delicate brows were furrowed, looking very troubled.
He patted Siate's shoulder and comforted her, “She has the orthodox Nen inheritance of Heoju. The path of an Awakener has the experience and methods of predecessors, which is simpler than for many Professionals.”
“Yes, but she seems to have encountered some difficulties.”
While Siate was envious, she couldn't help but sigh to herself. Sword Control Technique was a forbidden sword technique; there was no one for her to reference, and she had to explore it on her own all the way.
“Fighting is the best way to cultivate, but Mo Mei's Nianqi Shield is too strong. We might not be able to break her defense. We need to find an opponent that gives her pressure.”
The team used to dislike Mo Mei for getting a share of the spoils just by casting Nianqi Shield, never considering that if Mo Mei became an enemy, her terrifying Nianqi Shield would be despair-inducing!
Ye Lin walked over to Ophelia, who was dealing with the believer issues, and whispered something, pointing at the Adventurers at the foot of the mountain. Then Ophelia nodded and walked towards Po Feng and the others.
“Respected Adventurers, thank you for your contributions to expelling Lotus. Please accept this medal that can provide attribute boosts. However, the GBL Church still has many aftermaths to deal with. I will send someone to send you all away from the Tian Wei Giant Beast using donier.”
In fact, many Adventurers were very interested in Lotus's corpse—an Apostle-level wild game!
But the big shot who killed the Apostle hadn't spoken yet, and this was the source of the GBL Church's suffering, so it wasn't good to shamelessly ask for the corpse.
Holding the medal title of 【GBL Church Honorary Believer】, the Adventurers felt they had gained something and left contentedly.
He pulled out a strange black scroll from his hand. The scroll was made of magical fabric. After tearing it open, a golden and silver thread magic circle was clearly engraved in the center of the scroll.
Abyss Party Challenge Scroll!
Whoever opens the scroll is considered to have challenged an Abyssal Devil. A powerful Devil phantom will descend, and defeating it will grant equipment rewards.
Boom!
An Abyss Pillar broke through space and appeared in front of Mo Mei. The Nen beads surrounding her body activated the monster hidden within the Abyss Pillar.
“Who is it that provokes me, Dark King Styr!”
His body was tall, his grayish-blue skin looked like it was cast from steel, a golden yellow horn on his head, and on his shoulder, he carried his weapon, a massive all-metal pillar, commonly known as a “coffin” or “steel pipe”…
“It's her!”
Dark King Styr stared at Ye Lin and the others, but he saw the few of them shaking their heads, indicating it wasn't them, and then pointed at Mo Mei, who was still closing her eyes. Selling out teammates had to be quick.
“Good momentum, but it still can't stop my attack.”
He swung his steel pipe weapon down towards Mo Mei's head, letting out a sinister laugh, as if he saw the other party explode.
Just as Yuena couldn't help but want to cast a Guardian spell, the Nen petals floating around Mo Mei automatically gathered above her head, blocking the powerful blow. At the same time, Mo Mei's eyes opened.
【Chaotic Dance · Thousand Petals】 is the second symbol of Hundred Flowers Chaos. The Nen petals will automatically defend against enemy attacks when they appear.
“If Mo Mei defeats Styr, she should be able to become an Awakener and instantly join the ranks of the strong.”
Dark King Styr is just a phantom. With Siate and the others watching, there shouldn't be any problem. The problem is how to drag Marcel out and obtain the tears of the Tian Wei Giant Beast that Alice wants.
Marcel is a member of the GBL Church. Isha Dula is familiar with various forbidden curses and magic, so she should be able to find a way to save this leader of the Bloody Purification.
As for the tears, after learning his intention, a believer drove a mogaduo and took him close to the equally massive eye of the Tian Wei Giant Beast.
“If he doesn't cry, will it work if I smear chili powder on him?”
