The strong men on the top floor of the temple were all puzzled, Lin Lei's soul was still far from condensing into a substance, and Lin Lei was only a 7th-level magician at present. To say nothing of being a 7th-level magician, even a 9th-level great mage would not be able to resist the purification of the 'Lord of Light' faith.

  "How is this possible?" The ascetics on the scene, the senior deacons, and the deputy judges all muttered to themselves, unable to believe it.

  "It actually failed, the divine pet's descent didn't succeed in creating a divine pet master. Then, what should be done with Lin Lei?" Haitings looked at Lin Lei floating in mid-air, "A person with such talent, within 100 years, can definitely make him a peak Saint Realm expert. Possibly even stronger than me. At that time, the glory of my Light Master will surely shine to an even broader place."

  Haiting really didn't want to kill Lin Lei.

  "Your Majesty?" Gilmer called out softly.

  Haiting's eyes, which had been bewildered and uncertain for a moment, suddenly cleared up, and he had already made his decision.

  "Your Majesty, if Lin Lei didn't become a divine pet, then what about us?" Gilmer asked.

  Haiting looked at Lin Lei, and under his control, Lin Lei's body slowly floated to the ground. At this moment, Lin Lei stood up directly with one hand supporting himself. At this moment, there was not a single injury on Lin Lei's body, it had to be said that being favored by the gods also had its advantages.

  Lin Lei looked around at the strong men in a big circle.

  "This group of people, at the very least, are all ninth-level strongmen. If I were to resist, I'm afraid I wouldn't have any chance at all." Lin Lei gazed coldly at Haitings and the others, saying aloud, "Your Holiness, what exactly do you plan to do with me?"

  Haiting's face suddenly broke into a smile: "Don't ask any more questions, several attendants, you will take Lin Lei back to the secret room."

  "Yes, Your Majesty." The six senior attendants nodded in unison.

  Without giving Lin Lei any chance to ask questions, the six special-grade attendants walked directly towards him. One of them even shouted, "Hurry up! Do you want us to drag you away?"

  The situation is forcing him, Lin Lei has no choice.

  "Alright." Lin Lei directly opened the large door and headed downstairs. The six Special Class Stewards followed closely behind him, with Lin Lei descending floor by floor. Every guard they passed showed great respect upon seeing the six Special Class Stewards.

  These six senior deacons, all wearing blue robes, looked at Lin Lei with icy gazes that made him feel... if he had any misbehavior, these six people would probably kill him directly.

  After the six senior deacons forced Lin Lei to leave, another female Red Robe Archbishop Marina asked: "Your Majesty, since Lin Lei did not become a divine pet, although we do not understand the reason, now we must make a decision on how to deal with this Lin Lei."

  Gillmer and others looked at Hitchens.

  Lin Lei is a genius, everyone knows that, but Lin Lei did not become a divine pet. Moreover, Lin Lei's mother was killed by their Holy See. The Holy See must make a decision - whether to take the risk of taking in Lin Lei and hiding the news about his mother, or to directly kill Lin Lei.

  Concealing Lin Lei's mother's news can be concealed for a while, but after Lin Lei becomes an absolute high-ranking official of the Glory Church, it will probably be impossible to conceal.

  Haiting's face was expressionless, and he said in a cold voice: "Kill."

  Gillmer and others were shocked at heart.

  "In two more days it will be the Yulan Festival, which occurs only once in ten thousand years. Let's set the date for after the festival." Haiting announced directly.

  Gillmer, who had a deeper contact with Lin Lei, also secretly sighed in his heart.

  A genius, who was originally able to roam freely across the Yulan continent, now has his fate sealed. Gilmer knew clearly that at this moment, Lin Lei was being held captive in the Temple of Light, and it was impossible for him to escape, not even having a chance to escape from the secret chamber.

  "That 'Xie' has some connection with Lin Lei, but even Xie doesn't have the ability to break into the Temple of Light and rescue Lin Lei." Gillmer sighed.

  Lin Lei is doomed to die.

  ...in the secret chamber of the ninth floor of the Temple of Light.

  "Go in."

  As soon as Ling Lei entered the secret room, the six special-grade attendants immediately closed the door again.

  When the six senior deacons turned to leave, one of them, a middle-aged man with silver hair, turned his head and looked at Lin Lei: "Kid, let me remind you, your strength has recovered, but don't think about breaking out of this secret room."

  The other five high-ranking deacons also stopped, and a bald old man smiled faintly: "Break open the secret room? Young man, you can break open this secret room, which means your strength has at least reached the level of His Holiness the Pope."

  "What does it mean?" Lin Lei asked aloud.

  Lin Lei himself couldn't see what was special about this secret room. With his power as a 9th-level warrior after dragonization, ordinary stone structures seemed like paper that could be easily pierced.

  "The Temple of Light is the greatest structure of our Order of Light, and the temple itself contains a gigantic magical array known as 'The Glory of the Lord of Light'. Whether from outside or inside, it is impossible to damage the temple in any way." The middle-aged man with silver hair said proudly, "Young one, I can tell you that the only way for you to break out of this secret room and escape is to destroy the chain that locks the great door. And I can also tell you that this chain contains 'Black Jade'."

  After finishing speaking, the six senior attendants laughed at each other and left.

  Lin Lei fell silent.

  As soon as Lin Lei heard the name 'Hei Yu', he understood in his heart that he probably couldn't break through.

  "Hei Yu, legend has it that when the earth-based magic 'Terra Shield' reaches divine level, the Terra Shield is composed of 'Hei Yu'. Its defense is so strong that it can withstand multiple attacks from divine-level powerhouses. As for the strong in the sacred realm, it's simply impossible to break through."

  Lin Lei himself was an earth-based magician and naturally knew the legend of the 'Earth Guardian Holy Armor' at its peak.

  Reach the realm of Demon Master, the Earth Guardian Sacred Armor is at the "Diamond" level, break through the realm to reach the Divine level, and it will be the "Black Diamond" Sacred Armor.

  "Lin Lei, in my estimation, this should be the secret chamber where the Radiant Church imprisons 9th-level strongmen and even Saint Domain strongmen," said Deling Kwovart. "Although that chain only mixed with black iron, not entirely made of black iron. But to break it off, even a Saint Domain strongman would find it very difficult."

  Lin Lei nodded slightly.

  He already understood that the special executive said those words: 'You can break through this secret room, which means your strength has at least reached the level of His Holiness the Pope.'

  The next morning.

  Monroe Dawson, Yale, Reno and George were sitting around the breakfast table eating together. During this time, Yale, Reno and George had been worried about Lin Lei's situation, but even Monroe Dawson couldn't do anything, what could they do?

  Will Guangming Temple save Lin Lei? Even Munro Dawson wouldn't dare to do it.

  "Yale, the day after tomorrow is Jade Orchid Festival. This time's Jade Orchid Festival is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we may only encounter it once in our lifetime. You three little guys must have a good time playing." Monroe said with a smile.

  Munro Dawson was very kind to several good brothers at Yale.

  Because of Yale's three good brothers, Lin Lei, Leino, and George, who are all extraordinary, Leino's family has astonishing power in the Aubrey Empire, and George's family behind him has an influence in the Yulan Empire that is not much weaker than the Laine family.

  Although Lin Lei's family has declined, it is also a Dragon Blood Warrior family. And Lin Lei himself has infinite potential.

  Suddenly footsteps sounded.

  "Your Excellency, people from the Holy See of Light are outside." a servant said respectfully.

  Yale, George and Reno's eyes lit up as soon as they heard the words "Illuminati". They all looked at this servant. Monroe understood what his son and the other two were thinking, and immediately smiled and ordered: "Let him in."

  "Yes."

  Just then, a white-robed priest came in and said with a slight bow: "President Dowson, His Holiness the Pope has ordered me to bring you a letter." As he spoke, the white-robed priest took out an exquisitely decorated envelope from his bosom.

  A servant immediately took over the letter and finally delivered it to Monroe Davidson.

  Munro Dawson opened the envelope directly, but when he saw the content of the letter, his face changed involuntarily, and he said coldly: "You can go."

  The man in white made a slight bow and then left.

  "Father, what does the letter say?" Yale asked anxiously at once. "Is it about Old Three?" Reno and George also looked expectantly at Munro.

  Munro Dawson nodded.

  "The Illuminati told me that they have made a decision within the Illuminati to secretly execute Lin Lei." Monroe's words were like thunder, causing Yale, Reno and George's faces to turn white instantly.

  The three Yale men were stunned for a while.

  "No, it's impossible."

  Yale was the first to call out, and with one swift motion, he snatched the letter from his father's hand, trembling as he held it up to read. Reno and George, who were standing beside him, also immediately leaned in to take a look. But when the three of them saw the contents, they became frantic.

  "No!!!"

  Yale rushed out of his seat and wanted to rush out of the hall.

  "Yale." Monroe said with a frown.

  "Stop him." Monroe ordered directly.

  Yale turned to his father, anxiously saying: "Father, I beg of you, quickly send someone to rescue Lin Lei. Even if we have to give up some of the business's profits, I don't believe that the Guangming Church won't take care of our business at all. Father, I'm begging you."

  "Hmph, what do you know? If there were really conditions to discuss, the Pope would have talked to me already. Lin Lei's grudge against the Radiant Church is definitely not as simple as we understand it. Otherwise, the Radiant Church wouldn't want to execute a genius like him. Alright, take him away and lock him in his room. Let him calm down for a while."

  At once guards seized Yale and dragged him away, no matter how angrily and desperately he shouted.

  Reno and George could only remain silent.

  They had nothing to do with Monroe Dawson after all, but they were also anxious about Lin Lei in their hearts.

  On December 30, 9999, at noon, a red-robed archbishop came out of the secret room where Lin Lei was. It was Gilmer.

  "Gilmer." Lin Lei looked at Gilmer with some surprise.

  Gillmer brought in a sumptuous feast, handing it through the small opening one by one.

  Gillmer looked at Lin Lei, let out a sigh: "Lin Lei, I had high hopes for you. But, alas... it's probably destined that you can't become a member of our Glorious Church after all. Alright, eat well, you don't have many days left to eat anyway."

  Lin Lei was taken aback by these words.

  "What do you mean by that, Lord Gilmer?" Lin Lei looked at Gilmer.

  Gillmer sighed: "The day after tomorrow, that is January 2nd, will be your last day in this world." Gillmer still liked Lin Lei, especially after knowing why Lin Lei wanted to kill Clyde, he couldn't help but sigh at Lin Lei's fate.

  Originally could have had a bright future, but for the sake of his parents' revenge, he can still give up everything to take revenge.

  Although he might not show it, Gilmer had a certain degree of admiration for Lin Lei.

  January 2nd?

  Lin Lei's face changed several times, and finally slowly closed his eyes. He had completely understood that it was obvious that the day after tomorrow would be the day he was executed.

  "Thanks to you, Lord Gilmer. If it weren't for you, I might still have thought there was a chance of survival." Lin Lei smiled faintly.

  Gillmer glanced at Lin Lei, sighed softly and shook his head, then turned around and left. Only Lin Lei was left alone in this secret room.

  "On January 2nd, I won't be executed until after the Yulan Festival. Tomorrow is the Yulan Festival, and it seems to also be the day of Kalan and Aries' grand wedding." Lin Lei, who knew he was doomed, felt an unprecedented calmness and indifference at this moment.
