Paul the Pope was not afraid of anything. Since the master was here, they couldn't kill him if they wanted to.
Playing along with them to extract secrets was a major contribution.
Pope Paul's acting skills had reached a level of perfection that would make an Oscar-winning actor seem unworthy of even carrying his shoes.
After all, he often resorted to sneaky tricks to harm others, so he needed strong acting skills to execute his surprise attacks flawlessly.
One of them, hearing Pope Paul's subtle threat, grew angry. The implication was clear: if you don't talk, I won't cooperate. You want people, and only I can help you.
"You're looking for death," the man said, unleashing a blast of wind. Just as it was about to reach Pope Paul, another person intervened, blocking it.
Pope Paul was terrified at that moment.
He was merely suppressing his fear and feigning indifference.
"My brother was a bit impulsive just now, please don't mind him. Since you want to know, I will tell you," one of them said to smooth things over, then continued, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xavier, and this is my brother, Zevia. We are from the Immortal Realm."
Seeing the two fall for his act, Pope Paul inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and then became overjoyed.
Xavier then continued, "We are looking for people in the lower realm because our tribe is short on population. We want to find suitable individuals for cultivation and bring them up to replenish our numbers."
"Is it that simple?" Pope Paul asked.
"Of course, there's no need for us to deceive you, as we are partners," Xavier replied with a smile and a nod.
Pope Paul clearly didn't believe him, feeling that these two were trying to trick him.
Xia Feng, listening from the shadows, also didn't believe them. The Immortal Realm had more than enough people, with plenty of time for procreation every day.
Xia Feng suspected that anyone they found and took with them would likely not survive.
"I don't believe you. You lack sincerity, so I won't cooperate with you," Pope Paul said, spreading his hands and feigning helplessness.
"You're courting death," Zevia said, preparing to attack again.
The two played their roles perfectly, one acting tough and the other conciliatory. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Wait," Pope Paul suddenly called out.
Zevia stopped his hand, assuming Pope Paul was afraid for his life, and then mockingly sneered at him with a playful expression. "If you're told to do something, just do it. If you do it well, I'll give you an opportunity."
"You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I suspect you're looking for people for sacrifices, soul-snatching, or something similar. In any case, none of them survive. Seeing your pathetic appearance, I know you have ill intentions."
Pope Paul dropped the act. He had already extracted the information he needed.
Trying to get more out of them would be futile.
Hearing Pope Paul's words, a flicker of surprise flashed in their eyes, which Pope Paul quickly noticed.
"So it's true, I guessed correctly," Pope Paul said with a smile.
"Tsk, tsk... Since you insist on courting death, we have no choice but to act. Zevia, take his life," Xavier said with a condescending chuckle, instructing Zevia beside him.
Zevia had long wanted to kill Pope Paul. How dare a person from the lower realm speak to him so arrogantly.
Zevia directly locked down the space where Pope Paul was and sent a blast of wind towards him, shouting, "Die!"
He could already envision Pope Paul being torn limb from limb, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Instead of being torn limb from limb, Pope Paul looked at him with a mocking smile.
As the two brothers looked on in confusion, Xia Feng emerged.
Xavier and Zevia were both taken aback, their gazes becoming sharp as they looked at the suddenly appearing Xia Feng.
"Who are you?" Zevia demanded, looking at Xia Feng.
Xia Feng ignored his question and calmly asked, "Are you from the Hong Ming Continent?"
Upon hearing this, both of their expressions changed. Zevia exclaimed in shock, shouting, "How do you know about the Hong Ming Continent?"
With Zevia's involuntary confession, Xia Feng obtained the answer he sought.
It seemed all these scoundrels were on the Hong Ming Continent, and perhaps even Susanoo and the others were there.
"You don't need to know that," Xia Feng said coldly.
"A mortal from the lower realm dares to defy this Celestial Envoy? Truly eye-opening, I've learned a lot," Zevia said with an arrogant tone, not considering Xia Feng human at all. Da Feng Novel.
"Remember, my name is Xia Feng. I will take your lives next time I see you on the Hong Ming Continent," Xia Feng said, then directly locked onto the two brothers.
Xavier and Zevia's faces changed drastically. They felt a power not of this world pinning them down. Before they could speak, their avatars dissipated into the space.
Xia Feng then directly sealed their passage to the lower realm, preventing them from descending again.
Pope Paul witnessed this, his heart filled with excitement.
The master was truly incredible. Such powerful celestial envoys were like dogs in his hands, easily dealt with, with no chance to resist.
"Master, is this matter settled?" Pope Paul asked quickly.
"I don't know if they have other channels to descend, but for now, it's handled," Xia Feng replied slowly, unsure himself, looking up at the sky.
"With the master here, no matter how many of them come, these scoundrels are but fleeting moments before the master, not worth mentioning," Pope Paul flattered him.
Xia Feng smiled and said nothing.
"Let's go. I'll give you all an opportunity in some time," Xia Feng said, turning to leave.
Pope Paul's face was filled with a deep smile as he happily trotted behind Xia Feng.
The next day, Xia Feng returned to Peter Castle with Pope Paul.
"Brother, you're done?" Xia Lin excitedly called out, seeing Xia Feng.
Being abroad, she felt more at ease with Xia Feng by her side.
Huang Heng now looked at Xia Feng with a different gaze, filled with deep respect and sincere admiration.
"Yes, starting today, I'll take you all around," Xia Feng nodded.
This "playing" was not just simple sightseeing, but the main purpose of this trip: to find the cultivators who were secretly causing trouble for China and use them for practice.
"Yay, can we go anywhere?" Xia Lin asked excitedly.
"Anywhere," Xia Feng replied with a nod.
After receiving Xia Feng's confirmation, Xia Lin began discussing with everyone where to go. Meanwhile, Xia Feng summoned Dula Peter and the other five.
"Pope Paul, you know best which places have forces secretly targeting China. Your mission for this trip is to clean them all out," Xia Feng said to Pope Paul.
"Master, I know of some places, and I am willing to serve you," Pope Paul replied, bowing to Xia Feng.
King Hughes narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. How did that damned old schemer start calling him "Master" after just one trip?
Dark Spirit felt a bit dejected. Everyone present was either a disciple or a servant. He was anxious.
Was he the only useless one?
