Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 164: Compromise
The death of the Holy Pope and the disappearance of most of its Priests made the situation of the Holy Church quite dire, and coupled with Chu Wuyao’s subtle suppression over the past few months, the Holy Church had almost become a thing of the past by now.

Floating in the air above the headquarters of the Holy Church and looking down, Chu Wuyao remained expressionless.
With a move of her mind, she landed on the ground, and then, with her hands behind her back, she began walking around the headquarters.
Glancing around her, Chu Wuyao found that this small city, which used to be bustling with people and was home to many powerful practitioners, was now completely silent.
Recalling the scene she had seen when she first arrived in this place, Chu Wuyao couldn’t help but let out a sigh, once again understanding the impermanence of life.
The Holy Church, a massive force with transcendent status and supreme power, had now ended up like this.
Of course, although Chu Wuyao was a little emotional, as one of the main reasons behind this change, she wasn’t planning to help rebuild it.
Shaking her head and suppressing these thoughts, Chu Wuyao continued moving forward, navigating through the various luxurious, tall buildings.
A few minutes later, she arrived at the main building of the headquarters, which used to be the residence of the High Priests and the Pope himself.
The ball-shaped statue of the Creation God was still standing outside, but without the Priests kneeling in front of it and praying, it looked way less majestic and even more funny.
Chu Wuyao only took a look at it, and then, she stepped inside the building and climbed down a long spiral staircase, before arriving in front of a familiar large door.
Without needing anyone to help her, she pushed the door open and walked inside the familiar underground prison.
The torches that hung on the prison’s wall illuminated this place, and their light fell on the various cells, revealing the figures of the prisoners.
Previously, this place was used to imprison "extraterrestrial demons", but now, many terrifying demons were lying inside the cells.
Many big metal chains were binding these demons, and many runes flashed on the surface of their bodies and sealed their power. Experience more on novelbuddy
The moment the gate opened and Chu Wuyao walked inside, the originally sleeping demons woke up and opened their red eyes.
Their eyes were scarlet, and filled with hunger, bloodlust, and hatred.
When they saw Chu Wuyao, they let out loud horrifying growls and they immediately pounced forward, wanting to tear her apart and taste her flesh.
Chu Wuyao saw there was a large purple scorpion in the cell closest to her, which moved closer and controlled its stinger to attack her.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, before the stringer could land on her, the chains that bound the purple scorpion made a loud rattling noise and held it back.
Despite this, the scorpion didn’t stop its attempts and continued struggling to break free and attack her.
A similar scene happened in the other cells of the underground prison, as the demons were held back by the metal chains that bound them.
Chu Wuyao wasn’t surprised by the demon’s violent reactions, having become used to it by now.
Over the last couple of months, many demons had tried to cause trouble in the Sun Kingdom, either by launching large-scale massacres or by trying to kill power practitioners.
Since Chu Wuyao felt that this kingdom belonged to her and that its citizens were her subjects, she wouldn’t tolerate such a thing and personally stepped forward to hunt these demons down.
As a result, most of the demons were killed on the spot, while the few that she found interesting were kept here.
Ignoring the struggling demons, Chu Wuyao stepped forward and walked deeper into the prison.
A little while later, she stopped in front of an empty cell, opened its door, and then moved her right hand.
As if in response, an extremely large snake appeared out of nowhere and landed on the floor of the prison, causing the cell to tremble.
The snake was covered in tiny white scales that looked like fine pieces of art and shone with a strange luster.
The snake was huge, and if it were not for the fact that this prison had been built by the Holy Church and was quite large, it would be impossible for it to fit inside the cell.
Even though the snake landed on the ground, it didn’t move at all, remaining unconscious.
Even then, its body exuded a high-level aura that spread everywhere in the underground prison.
Inside the cells around it, the demons that felt this aura immediately stopped struggling and knelt on the ground, letting out loud growls and begging for mercy, as if they had met their king.
Unlike those demons, although Chu Wuyao was right next to it, she would of course not be affected.
Let alone in its current condition, even if this snake was conscious, she would still be able to wipe it out easily.
Ignoring its aura, Chu Wuyao’s mind moved, and she controlled the chains that hung on the walls of the cell to move and wrap around the snake’s body.
At the same time, she moved her right hand and painted many complicated runes with her index finger in the air in front of her, which then flew towards the snake and landed on its body.
Subsequently, the runes flashed and sealed its power, causing its aura to slowly decrease until it finally disappeared.
A few seconds later, although the snake still looked terrifying because of its large size, it was actually completely harmless.
When she saw this, Chu Wuyao nodded her head in satisfaction, knowing that another demon had been added to her collection.
Moreover, this demon was relatively special and had another identity.
It was a powerful Holy Realm demon and a high-level member of the Demon Cult.
