As the spokespersons from various factions slammed their hands on the table, outside the Church's combat command center, their close subordinates immediately relayed messages to call for reinforcements.
People from numerous factions converged, and for a moment, the air was filled with a murderous intent.
Of course, among the many factions, there were still organizations and powers that kowtowed to the Church.
The forces within Yun Cang City immediately split into two factions.
One side, led by Lu Dingjia of the Ninth Division, consisted of numerous forces determined to eradicate the Church.
The other side was the Church itself and the lackeys they had cultivated.
The two sides immediately gathered outside the Church's combat command center, poised for action.
Upon seeing this situation, Lu Bian abruptly rose, his expression changing repeatedly. He clearly hadn't expected the people of Yun Cang City to harbor so much resentment towards the Church.
Outside, more and more people were gathering, and small-scale skirmishes had already broken out.
"Lu Dingjia, the Eternal Night Army is pressing on the city. At a time like this, are you trying to instigate a mutiny?" Lu Bian's throat bobbed up and down.
"The Church's scum have no other abilities, but they're quite good at arbitrarily labeling people and assigning blame!"
As he spoke, Lu Dingjia's body emanated a vast amount of spiritual energy, which swelled into a massive sphere. Viewed from above, it formed a giant yin-yang fish diagram, radiating an astonishing aura, clearly indicating his intent to fight.
Seeing this, Lu Bian's expression changed again. "Old Lu, isn't this a bit too impulsive? I think we should sit down and discuss this matter, don't you agree?"
"I agree with your grandmother's leg!"
Lu Dingjia directly raised his hand and pressed it towards Lu Bian.
Lu Bian's body immediately erupted with dazzling golden light.
"Old Lu! Let's talk this out!"
Lu Dingjia sneered disdainfully, "A contemptible wretch who is arrogant at first and then obsequious!"
As he spoke, the yin-yang fish sphere around Lu Dingjia's body grew larger.
He directly flashed forward, charging towards Lu Bian.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the wall exploded and was directly pierced through.
A black-and-white yin-yang fish sphere was seen chasing a ball of golden light, pushing through everything with unreasonable brute force, tearing through dozens of buildings one after another, the deafening sound of walls being smashed through echoing continuously.
Following Lu Dingjia's initial move, Shang Tianque, without a word, immediately unleashed his giant python, sweeping towards the Church's people.
Others quickly followed suit, and for a moment, the entire Yun Cang City was in chaos.
Zhuge Heng sat in his seat, raising his hand to touch and examine the golden circlet on his head, as if nothing was happening.
Bai Mao Zai took out his phone, looked at himself, and muttered, "Even Eddie Peng would have to give me a wide berth. But this thing is good, it's mine!"
Outside, shouts of battle shook the heavens.
The two sides immediately engaged in bloody combat. The Church's people had always been disgusting in their daily conduct, causing many to harbor resentment towards them.
Now that they finally had this opportunity, how could they let it go? With Old Lu Dingjia leading the charge, they only needed to follow. With so many people, even if the Church held immense power, the law couldn't punish everyone, and the Church couldn't do anything to them.
Fang Xin, caught in the crowd, hadn't expected Old Lu Dingjia to be so unyielding, directly resorting to violence without a word. He had never seen such a person before.
Watching Lu Dingjia fighting Lu Bian fiercely from a distance, Fang Xin couldn't help but exclaim, "This old guy is truly awesome."
Since Lu Dingjia had opened such a breach, others naturally seized the opportunity to return all the bullying they had suffered from the Church.
Fang Xin led his small team, joining the fray and unleashing a massacre.
Others might only gain a sense of satisfaction from killing, but when Fang Xin acted against the Church's people, the Light-Based Talent of those individuals in the Church was continuously absorbed by Fang Xin. Fang Xin felt that if he continued killing for a while longer, his Light-Based Talent could even reach SSS-rank by devouring this essence blood.
The entire Yun Cang City had descended into chaos. The more arrogant the Church's people had been before, the more humble they were now.
Just as the battle raged in the city, a golden crown suddenly appeared in the void.
Beneath the crown, a figure was vaguely visible. Merely standing there, the figure exuded an aura of profound majesty.
A voice emanated from within:
"Lu Dingjia, your anger has subsided enough, put down your hands. The enemy army is pressing on the city. Now is not the time to fight our own people. Don't let outsiders laugh at us!"
Lu Dingjia looked at the nearly transparent phantom and naturally knew that it was a big shot, second only to the supreme being of the Church.
With the appearance of that figure, Lu Dingjia smiled at him, "I can stop, but whether others will stop is unknown!"
The crown suddenly erupted with dazzling yet gentle light.
This ball of light was like a rising small sun, yet its radiance did not burn; it even gently brushed against everyone's hearts.
Everyone felt their complex emotions within them dissipate.
Anyone who has fought knows that before a fight, anger accumulates. When that anger reaches a peak, a big fight ensues. However, the radiance emitted by the nearly transparent phantom in the sky was like someone coming to mediate, and at the same time, it smoothed out the accumulated anger of both parties.
The battle between the two sides gradually subsided.
The phantom beneath the crown merely glanced at Lu Bian, "Let this be the last time!"
After speaking, the phantom completely disappeared, and the crown vanished with it.
Lu Bian exhaled, looking at Lu Dingjia. In the past, the Church's people were accustomed to their superior status, always feeling that bullying others was nothing. But today, he finally knew and realized that the resentment accumulated by the Church among these factions was truly too great.
He had someone compile the data: in just this short time, over a hundred Church members had died, and over three hundred were injured. The Church had only brought a total of over five hundred people here. If the fighting had continued a bit longer, it was likely that all five hundred people could have been wiped out.
Lu Bian returned to the dilapidated combat command center. "Everyone, let's turn the page on this matter. We will be stationed here for a long time to come. I hope everyone can support each other! Let's not have anything like today happen again!"
Everyone smiled knowingly; they had finally had their fill of fighting today.
Suddenly, loud shouts came from the city wall, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
At that cry, many immediately rushed to the city wall to begin resisting the new wave of beast attacks.
Lu Bian's face was grim. "Over a hundred people dead? This is a malicious incident unprecedented in recent years!"
Jiang Weiqi stood beside Lu Bian. "Envoy Lu, these people are truly too much! We must make them pay for this!"
"In the current situation, how can we make them pay?"
Jiang Weiqi's eyes darted around, and he thought of a sinister plan. "Envoy Lu, I have an idea. You know about Fang Xin from the Ninth Division, right? He's someone the Ninth Division has carefully nurtured, very likely to become the second Zhuge Heng. When the fighting starts later, that Bai Mao Zai and Lu Dingjia will definitely go out of the city to meet the enemy. We can use this opportunity, during the chaos, to kill him. It would also be revenge for the more than a hundred brothers who died!"
Lu Bian frowned and said in a deep voice, "Can this be done?"
Jiang Weiqi immediately guaranteed, "Envoy Lu, don't worry, I will personally handle this! I will definitely bring you his head!"
After a brief moment of thought, Lu Bian said, "Good! Then I await your good news!"
