At this moment, the Lord of Hell said to Yun Fan, "After this battle, the Temple of Light will likely send stronger warriors, and you are also heavily depleted. Later, I'll have Allie take you to the treasury to see if there are any miraculous pills to restore your strength!"
"Okay, that sounds good!"
Yun Fan didn't stand on ceremony. After all, the real fight was yet to come, and he had to maintain his peak combat power.
"Follow me!"
Allie led the way, and Yun Fan followed her to the treasury of the Hell organization.
To be honest, when Yun Fan saw the dazzling array of treasures inside, which were both numerous and valuable, even he felt a tinge of envy.
The Hell organization was truly rolling in wealth. Any single item here would be enough to grant someone financial freedom for several lifetimes in the secular world.
And this did not even include those peculiar cultivation techniques.
Allie enthusiastically introduced the items to Yun Fan, but he had little interest in listening.
In fact, Allie simply wanted to spend more time alone with Yun Fan.
She also subtly remarked to him, "These things were originally prepared by my father as my dowry. Since I'm unable to marry, they've just accumulated a lot of dust!"
What on earth was she implying?
Yun Fan was speechless. Allie seemed to be missing the point. He wanted something to restore his strength, not to look at her dowry.
Subsequently, the two arrived at the deepest part of the treasury.
The items here looked as though they hadn't been touched in a long time, covered in dust, and even the boxes were rusted.
Yun Fan casually opened a rusted box. Upon opening it, he found a piece of blood-red crystal.
Upon closer inspection, he detected a faint scent of blood. Just as Yun Fan was about to dismiss it, he discovered that the crystal contained a powerfully alluring energy.
"What is this?"
Yun Fan asked Allie.
Allie took a look and replied, "It's said to be a werewolf blood crystal!"
"Werewolf blood crystal?"
Yun Fan glanced at Allie in confusion. Did werewolves really exist in this world? It was ridiculous.
Allie said, "That's right. This blood crystal was found by our Hell organization by chance among the common folk. My father told me after examining it that it's a blood crystal formed by a powerful werewolf!"
"Have you seen a werewolf?"
Yun Fan curiously asked Allie.
Allie shook her head, "No, I haven't."
"Then that settles it!"
Yun Fan said, "Your father definitely doesn't know what it is either. However, the power within is incredibly strong!"
"You must not use it carelessly. My father said that no one can control the power within, because it's extremely overbearing!"
She quickly warned Yun Fan. If someone could control it, her father would have used it long ago.
Yun Fan said, "I'll try it."
"You're really going to use it?"
Allie was surprised by Yun Fan's boldness.
Yun Fan said, "If I can't control it, I'll stop refining it."
In fact, in his opinion, although the power within was overbearing, with his physique, controlling it would be as easy as drinking water.
"Alright then!"
Allie said worriedly, "But I'll watch beside you. If there's any danger, I can stop it immediately!"
"Okay, as you wish!"
Yun Fan did not refuse.
Then, he took the blood crystal in his hand and began to refine it.
Admittedly, the blood crystal was an excellent item, as Yun Fan could feel the power of the crystal continuously surging into his body.
After only half an hour, Allie saw the blood crystal in Yun Fan's hand shatter, indicating that Yun Fan had successfully refined its power.
A look of shock flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to actually be able to control the power of the werewolf blood crystal.
But then again, Yun Fan was a monster in her eyes. For a monster to control the power of a werewolf blood crystal, wasn't that normal?
"Not bad, not bad, my strength has been fully restored!"
Yun Fan was quite satisfied with the blood crystal. The only disappointment was that refining it hadn't allowed him to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
At this moment, he realized that his physique seemed very peculiar. If it were anyone else, they would have broken through long ago.
But he still couldn't break through. He felt as though his body was a bottomless abyss, requiring an immense amount of power.
"You truly exceed my imagination!"
Allie exclaimed excitedly.
"Let's go! It's time to leave."
Yun Fan showed no outward emotion, as he would soon face even stronger enemies.
"Oh!"
Just as Allie was about to turn and leave, she suddenly noticed Yun Fan's eyes turn red.
"You... what's wrong with you?"
Allie looked at Yun Fan in horror. Could this be a werewolf's backlash?
Yun Fan also sensed something was amiss, as he now felt a trace of werewolf-like ferocity within him.
This ferocity was indescribable. If he had to describe it, it would be similar to himself after using a forbidden technique.
At this moment, Yun Fan quickly suppressed this emotion.
However, unexpectedly, the emotion suddenly surged violently.
"Not good!"
Even Allie sensed that something was wrong with Yun Fan, so she quickly ran out, preparing to ask her father for help.
But just as she was about to leave, Yun Fan suddenly grabbed her.
"You... what do you want?"
Allie asked warily, as she noticed that Yun Fan's consciousness seemed completely unclear.
However, Yun Fan did not answer her. Instead, he directly pounced on her, pushing her to the ground.
Allie seemed to already know what Yun Fan intended to do. She did not resist and was even very cooperative.
Only her eyes showed a hint of complaint. Couldn't they have found a better environment? After all, when she had fantasized about this moment, it was definitely not in such a shabby place.
An hour later, Yun Fan suddenly regained consciousness. He had been in a state of blurred consciousness and didn't even know what he had done.
It was a very strange feeling, but he disliked it intensely.
At this moment, he turned his head and saw Allie lying beside him, utterly exhausted. Strangely, a hint of enjoyment could be seen on her face.
"I apologize for what happened. I will take responsibility!"
Yun Fan, now understanding what had transpired, decided to admit it frankly, as the deed was done.
There was no room for turning back.
Allie complained, "Let's not talk about responsibility for now. You were very rough just now!"
Fortunately, she had a good physique and could withstand such relentless torment. If it were another woman, she might have been in danger.
Although she had gotten what she wanted, the price of getting what she wanted was too high.
"I'm sorry, my consciousness was blurred just now. I don't even know the process!"
Yun Fan said apologetically, while inwardly feeling indignant. Looking at the conspicuous scratches on his own body, who was being rough was obvious.
Afterward, he tidied Allie's clothes and helped her up. Due to the circumstances, Allie could only walk with great difficulty.
Otherwise, she would have asked for a stretcher to carry her out.
She had always imagined such moments to be wonderful, but after they actually happened, she realized they weren't as glorious as she had imagined.
To be honest, although a devastating battle had just taken place, she somehow looked forward to this kind of relentless torment.
However, that would have to wait until her injuries healed.
Otherwise, someone would truly die.
As the two emerged, they were spotted by Lin Shufen.
After handing Allie over to Lin Shufen, Yun Fan left, as he still needed to discuss the upcoming combat plan with the Lord of Hell.
At this moment, Lin Shufen helped Allie back to her room.
"How did you get yourself into such a state?"
Lin Shufen said with concern. She had already come to regard Allie as half her daughter. Seeing Allie in such a state, she felt heartbroken.
"Auntie, don't mention it!"
Allie said through her pain, "He's too much of a monster!"
Hearing this, Lin Shufen became extremely worried. Of course, her worry was not for Allie.
It was for her daughter, Lin Tianxin.
If even Allie, a Foundation Establishment realm expert, couldn't handle it, then her daughter's situation would be extremely precarious.
No, she had already secretly decided that she would find an opportunity to remind Yun Fan that he absolutely could not behave like this.
In fact, Lin Shufen had misunderstood Yun Fan. At that moment, even Yun Fan had been affected by the ferocious energy within him.
At this moment, Yun Fan intended to see the Lord of Hell, but just then, he discovered an unexpected surprise.
He realized that he could potentially utilize this ferocious energy.
Although this ferocious energy seemed like a disadvantage, he was surprised to discover that when unleashed, it was remarkably similar to forbidden techniques.
The biggest difference was that forbidden techniques had a time limit. Once that time was up, no matter how powerful you were a moment before, you would become a lamb to the slaughter the next.
Furthermore, after using a forbidden technique, one needed many days of recovery, and it caused significant damage to the body.
But this ferocity was different. It caused no harm to the body after being unleashed. Moreover, Yun Fan was delighted to discover that there was no time limit, meaning he could fight for as long as he wished.
After the battle, his body would not be weakened; he would be like a normal person. This was a tremendous advantage for him!
This was even more surprising than breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment. After all, he would eventually reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, but this kind of opportunity was fleeting.
At this moment, Yun Fan couldn't be happier.
As long as he could precisely control this ferocious energy, he would essentially be able to achieve legendary feats of fighting enemies above his level.
This kind of scenario was only written in brainless online novels. In reality, it was akin to a legend.
He never expected to achieve something that was considered legendary.
However, he felt extremely guilty towards Allie. Although they hadn't spoken much earlier, he was determined to take responsibility for Allie, as she had now become his woman.
...
Temple of Light.
At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with anger and shock.
The anger stemmed from the fact that the Grand Elder of the Temple, along with two envoys, had been eliminated by their opponents. This was unprecedented in the history of the Temple.
After all, an Elder-level expert was considered the pinnacle of power in the West. Yet, someone had managed to kill their strongest.
The shock came from how the Hell organization had suddenly become so powerful. Before, they were merely a force that existed in the shadow of the Temple, barely surviving.
Now, they could contend with the Temple.
They believed that the Hell organization alone did not possess such capability. The killing of the Temple's Grand Elder was definitely the work of someone else.
If the Hell organization had this strength, why would they have been so timid for so many years? They would have rebelled against the Temple long ago.
Everyone now understood that the Pope was right. The person invited by Dai Qisi from the East had the strength to kill the Saint Son and the Grand Elder.
However, at this moment, they did not blame Dai Qisi. The situation had progressed to this point, and everyone knew that Allie and the Pope were already vying for power.
The reason they did not pursue the matter was that most of them had secretly sided with Allie, while a small minority did not wish to get involved.
After all, this was a contest between two powerful figures. As subordinates, how could they dare to interfere?
If they chose the wrong side and one party was defeated, they would suffer the consequences as well. Therefore, it was better to mind their own business.
Given the history of the Temple, the Pope was already at an age where he should retire. It was normal to hand over the position to Dai Qisi.
In any case, it was better to hand it over to Dai Qisi than to the Saint Son. Fortunately, the Saint Son was already dead, and their concerns had been completely dispelled.
Now, they were gambling, betting that the Pope would have no other choice but to cede the position to Dai Qisi.
Therefore, their attitude was to neither offend the retiring Pope nor Dai Qisi, the soon-to-be Pope.
When the Pope witnessed this scene, he was furious. After all, he was the Pope! As long as he was in power, wouldn't everyone have to listen to him?
Unexpectedly, they were all adopting a stance of indifference. This made him extremely angry.
Admittedly, he had underestimated Dai Qisi. He had thought that Dai Qisi had been under his control all these years.
As the supreme Pope, he could suppress Dai Qisi at any time, no matter how conspicuous her actions were.
However, he hadn't expected that after years of covert maneuvering, Dai Qisi's influence and methods had far exceeded his expectations.
At this point, even he, the exalted Pope, could not erase Dai Qisi's existence.
However, in the Pope's view, although the situation was no longer under his control, there was still hope for a solution.
The reason Dai Qisi was so audacious was undoubtedly due to the help of this young man from the East. If he could eliminate this young man from the East, then Dai Qisi would not be so arrogant.
Unfortunately, this young man from the East was surprisingly powerful, having even killed the Grand Elder of the Temple. It seemed that this time, he would have to seek help from that particular individual.
Once Yun Fan was dealt with, he would then deal with Dai Qisi. How could a mere Saintess dare to defy him? If Dai Qisi were to ascend to the position of Pope, she would likely turn against him.
Although he was powerful and held a high status, he did not fear Dai Qisi's retaliation. However, he had descendants and a family.
If Dai Qisi were to target these individuals, it would be as easy as flipping a hand. The reason he had supported the Saint Son before was solely for the sake of his descendants and family.
According to his original plan, he would support the Saint Son's ascension, and then, after cultivating his own descendants, have them replace the Saint Son.
But now, all of that was a pipe dream, because the Saint Son was dead, and even his position as Pope was not as stable.
If no changes were made, Dai Qisi would truly succeed.
Therefore, at this moment, he entered a secret chamber of the Temple.
This secret chamber was his private sanctuary. Apart from him, no one knew what was inside.
The secret chamber did not contain any treasures or cultivation techniques, but rather a person, or rather, someone being held captive.
To be precise, the individual was not purely human, but a werewolf. After all, the person exuded the same kind of ferocity as Yun Fan.
However, the ferocity emanating from this individual was not as powerful as Yun Fan's.
"Why are you here?"
Upon seeing the Pope, the individual showed no fear or respect, only anger and defiance.
The Pope said with a smile, "White Wolf, I've come to set you free!"
Upon hearing this, White Wolf said disdainfully, "I don't think you're so kind as to let me go!"
It was clear that he did not believe the Pope. Who would believe that someone who had imprisoned him would actually let him go? It was simply laughable.
But the Pope said, "I have a condition for letting you go. As long as you help me kill someone, you will be free!"
"Really?"
He looked at the Pope in surprise.
"Of course it's true. And I promise, I will no longer attack your werewolf tribe in the future!"
The Pope guaranteed.
Upon hearing this, White Wolf immediately said, "Fine, I accept your offer. But you must swear in the name of the God of Light. After all, the most common practice of your Temple of Light is to break promises!"
