Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 719 - 714: Holy Light Church

Chapter 719: Chapter 714: Holy Light Church

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the Law Emperor smiled slightly, no longer probing into Bai Qi’s origins. His gaze only lingered briefly on the Husky and absurd clown next to Bai Qi.

“I don’t think I’ve seen these two pets before, it seems like you are quite the talented breeder.”

The Law Emperor paused, then said, “Our Ten Thousand Laws Empire recruits all sorts of talents, young man, have you ever considered joining us?”

“A breeder? I’m afraid I am not.”

Bai Qi flatly rejected the Law Emperor’s presumption, his eyes darting around as he thought of a way to escape.

Although confronting a legendary character like the Law Emperor was interesting, he didn’t belong to this era. If the Law Emperor discovered his secret, it would create complications.

He didn’t believe he could trick the Law Emperor with his wisdom.

What? You think the Law Emperor might not notice?

It’s a joke, how could a man who spread the knowledge of runes to all humanity and incidentally built a powerful empire, be a fool?

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I have some matters to attend to, so…”

With this thought, Bai Qi immediately asked the Law Emperor for leave. But before he could finish speaking, a loud voice rang out. Following it, a group of fully armed knights enveloped in holy light came from the west.

“Holy Light? Could it be the Bo Ge family? No, it should be the Holy Light Church in this era?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes flashed. He wondered if he could gain any information regarding the Death Round Table from the Church of a millennium ago.

Perhaps, he might strangle the Death Round Table in its cradle a thousand years ago?

Immersed in his thoughts for a long time, Bai Qi snapped back to reality to discover the Holy Light Knights had already arrived.

“Your Majesty, I didn’t expect to find you here, please forgive my rudeness.”

A man in a red robe with golden hair arrived before the Law Emperor, bowing respectfully.

“Archbishop Samue, what brings you all the way down south?”

Seeing the red-robed Archbishop, the smile on the Law Emperor’s face disappeared abruptly. It was replaced by the dignity befitting an Emperor. The switch in demeanor left Bai Qi impressed.

“We received a divine proclamation warning us of darkness encroaching upon this land. The Pope dispatched me here to exorcise the darkness.”

Hearing Samue’s words, the Law Emperor laughed, “To send a Cardinal to such a remote place to purge the darkness, the pope is truly heartfelt.”

“Unfortunately, you seem to have arrived too late.”

At his words, Samue’s eyes flashed with unease, quickly replaced by respect. He bowed to the Law Emperor.

“Your Majesty, it’s of course nothing for you to tackle the Undead Catastrophe.”

Samue hesitated, then said, “However, the Undead excel at deception. Given Your Majesty’s many duties, you can’t stay for long. We of the Church would like to take your place…”

Before Samue could finish, a blade of light came from the distance, landing between them. Soon after, Enma Legend appeared with a skeleton skull in hand.

“No need to trouble Archbishop Samue. I am enough for this task.”

Enma Legend emitted a fierce aura, his gaze turned sharply towards Samue, interrupting him abruptly.

Seeing such a confrontation, a smile appeared on Samue’s face, “So Enma Legend is here too. It seems our Church was indeed overly solicitous.”

Samue gave a small bow, “Your Majesty and Enma Legend surely must have matters to attend to. We would not intrude further. The Holy Light Knights will be stationed nearby for a time and can be summoned at Your Majesty’s convenience.”

After his speech, Samue led the Holy Light Knights back in the direction they came from, showing no intention of entering Wuxian City.

“Your Majesty, I suspect the Church knew about the Undead Catastrophe beforehand?”

Watching the departing Holy Light Knights, Enma Legend spoke.

“Mmm, I reckon the ferocious beasts we encountered on the way here were provoked by them.”

The Law Emperor nodded his agreement, a fleeting unease in his eyes, but he covered it up quickly. Turning to Bai Qi with a smile, he said, “Young man, would I have the honor of inviting you for a drink as a token of my gratitude?”

“Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t insist…”

“Not at all, not at all!”

Barely had the Emperor finished speaking when Bai Qi agreed to his invitation. His swift change in attitude surprised the Law Emperor.

What an interesting young man.

“In that case, please follow me.”

The Law Emperor’s smile widened, he turned to Enma Legend, “Enma, you handle the army arrangements.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Enma Legend took a knee, then flew towards the path by Wuxian City, a huge army could be seen coming their way.

So, the reinforcement mentioned by the city’s garrison was this?

The Law Emperor leading the team personally, and even the Holy Light Knights are also here. Could something unusual be happening here?

Bai Qi glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the Holy Light Knights. He was only shaken out of his thoughts by the Law Emperor’s call, to follow him.

…

“Hahaha… It seems young Bai Qi is not just strong, but quite adept with runes as well.”

The Law Emperor did not hide his admiration for Bai Qi and extended another invitation, “Bai Qi, are you certain you won’t consider joining our Ten Thousand Laws Empire? You can name your terms, so long as you are willing.”

The Law Emperor looked sincere, but Bai Qi still shook his head, saying, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I’m a person who is rather afraid of trouble, so I should decline.”

“If that’s the case, I won’t insist.”

The Law Emperor felt a bit regretful, then curiously asked, “Bai Qi, you said you were originally living in seclusion with your teacher, and this time you came out for training?”

“Yes, my teacher wanted me to see the world a bit, it does not benefit my personal growth to isolate myself.”

Bai Qi said.

“Indeed.”

The Law Emperor laughed and said, “However, your teacher allowed you to go out for training only after you became a legend, it seems your teacher is quite powerful.”

“Indeed very powerful.”

Bai Qi nodded, even though the Law Emperor was very powerful, Bai Qi could still notice the gap between him and Bai Heguang.

Whether it was the Law Emperor or the Enma Legend, the pets they had all didn’t reach the Demi-God Realm, although they were both legendary, their auras were still quite different.

Perhaps it’s due to the limitations of the world.

“Your Majesty, may I ask about Archbishop Samue just now? They should also be here to help defend the city, but Your Majesty seems to…”

Bai Qi stopped mid sentence, the conflicts between royal and divine powers are common everywhere, not to mention in this extraordinary world.

The reason he asked knowingly was just to fish for some information about the Holy Light Church.

“That’s right, I really hate the Holy Light Church.”

The Law Emperor’s words were astonishing, he did not intend to cover up his feelings, which made Bai Qi, who wanted to ask more discreetly, feel rather embarrassed.

“Looking at you Bai Qi, it seems you truly know nothing about the outside world.”

Seeing this, the Law Emperor patted Bai Qi’s shoulder and said, “Almost everyone in the dynasty knows about my dislike for the church, this isn’t a secret.”

“I do not mind turning powerful pets into gods and allowing the citizens of the empire to believe in them, after all, appropriate faith can help humans persist longer in difficult situations.”

“However, I absolutely can’t tolerate forfeiting one’s will and even everything for the sake of faith!”

Having heard the explanation from the Law Emperor, Bai Qi immediately understood.

No wonder there was no existence of a church after the Ten Thousand Laws Empire, it looks like they were disbanded by the Law Emperor.

“My apologies, I couldn’t help but talk more than necessary.”

Noticing the strange look on Bai Qi’s face, the Law Emperor also realized his slip up.

“I don’t know why, but I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity with you, so much so that I even talk about these things.”

An inexplicable sense of familiarity?

Holy cow, does this uncle Law Emperor have some wicked taste?

Bai Qi’s eyes twitched and he quietly stepped back, while the Law Emperor continued, “Although it’s a bit personal, I still suggest that you, Bai Qi, should avoid any involvement with the Holy Light Church, otherwise it might have an impact on your training.”

“I understand.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded, not asking anymore about the Holy Light Church.

“By the way, Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come to Wuxian City?”

“I wasn’t originally needed here, just that the Twilight Tomb in the Mud Wild Foothills was recently being riled up, so I personally came to have a look.”

The Law Emperor paused and said, “Speaking of this, earlier on the battlefield, I sensed a strong Shadow Department Power, was it your pet?”

“Your Majesty’s sensing ability is quite strong, indeed it was.”

Bai Qi shrugged nonchalantly, directly summoned Alpha.

Even though Alpha had returned to the secret realm after the appearance of the Law Emperor, trying to hide from the Law Emperor was apparently unrealistic.

“This is my pet Alpha, part of the Undead Clan, I did not summon it earlier to avoid trouble.”

“Undead Clan… and some Dragon Race aura? Your teacher actually let you contract with an undead creature, seems like you, Bai Qi, really need to keep your distance from the Holy Light Church.”

The Law Emperor carefully sensed the aura emanating from Alpha and could not help expressing his lament.

Even a thousand years later, in the Federation, the acceptance of various creatures had improved a lot, it was only after Bai Heguang that the Undead Clan was truly acknowledged.

In this era, those who dared to contract and would contract with undead creatures were essentially not any good characters, according to the Holy Light Church, they were heretics!

“Indeed.”

Bai Qi shrugged and said, “However, rest assured Your Majesty, Alpha is not like other Undead Creatures, it won’t attack others at will.”

The Law Emperor slightly nodded, was about to say something, when suddenly a blade light pierced through the wall, flying towards Alpha.

Seeing this, Alpha immediately drew out the Sword of Silent Annihilation, shattered the blade light, and then with another sword attack, aimed at the figure rushing from behind the wall.

“Your Majesty, I sensed the presence of a Legendary Dead Soul here, are you alright?”

Enma Legend intercepted Alpha’s long sword, anxiously scanning around. On seeing the innocent-looking Bai Qi and the Law Emperor with a strange smile on his face, he was stunned.

“Your Majesty, are you… alright?”
