Chapter 270 – Vessel

Chapter 270 - Vessel

Wen Ying pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath before saying, "I really don't have that kind of..."

He searched for a long time but couldn't find an appropriate substitute for the term "pervert."

"You must have seen it wrong," Wen Ying scratched his hair, "It's crucial, are you sure about the location?"

His actions in the Flower Planting Nation were just a decoy to draw the attention of the Church, while Yun Lao silently made his way to Acefa. Those three exorcists were indeed from Acefa. Wen Ying extracted some information from their mouths, allowing Yun Lao to follow the trail.

Chupse Town, a rural village located near Acefa's capital, was a place where high-ranking members of the Church often went on vacation for a few days.

"Found a suspicious spot," Yun Lao said with a hint of doubt in his voice, "But is it really wise to alert the snake by stirring the grass? That guy doesn't even know we're aware of his existence, and the Devil's order was just to search for a storage location."

Wen Ying answered confidently, "How would you know if the place is right without checking it out?"

Yun Lao pondered for a moment, feeling that something was off but also acknowledging the logical reasoning.

Forget it, it wasn't a big deal anyway. Yun Lao, who followed his heart, quickly dismissed his strange concerns and cheerfully infiltrated a guesthouse in Chupse Town.

Exciting events brought joy to Yun Lao, his eyes turning into vertical slits, shimmering with excitement.

The call between the two demons was temporarily disconnected.

The night's turmoil had occurred and vanished without the knowledge of ordinary people. As expected, Wen Ying didn't find that most demons across the regions had made significant gains.

While the Church was relocating evidence, their online warfare continued unabated.

Wen Ying opened her phone and scrolled through various platforms' keywords for a while. The heat was still high.

The Church had purchased many internet trolls, brainwashing anyone they encountered with the notion of demonic conspiracies. With a lazy tap of her small hand, she released a video of an exorcist she had caught saying something, leaving those trolls working in vain.

In the video, an exorcist revealed that the domestic Church would capture some exorcists as materials to extract life force and magic power. Among the exorcists reported to have died accidentally during missions, a portion were actually betrayed by their fellow teammates and captured by the Church.

Upon the release of this video, the world was in an uproar. It touched upon the most basic morals, causing many to demand a thorough investigation in indignation.

The Church had even less interest in the Chupse Town incident now, fully focused on the battle of public opinion.

Receiving a request from the Church in Huaxia, the Pope pondered for a moment before responding, "Let them sacrifice the pawns to save the king. Advance the plan for the extremist demon party to disguise themselves as members of the demonic army and attack humans."

The one who heard this lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes."

Less than half an hour after the video was uploaded, both the Disaster Control Department and the Church responded, vowing to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Wen Ying continued to post videos and texts online that were causing headaches for the Church. With a simple tap of his finger, he exposed the motives of the Church's upper echelons to eliminate him.

After the initial shock over Wen Ying's identity, the demons at the Exorcist Academy viewed the current turmoil as a chance to earn points.

If this kept up, Wen Ying, that bastard, would snatch the top spot in the semester again!

In the past, they were suppressed by the Demon Mirror Devil. Now, they were being dominated by a Demon Mirror Devil with at least half human blood. It was a burning humiliation for those demons who took pride in their lineage and competitive spirit.

If things went on like this, they wouldn't have the face to return to the Realm of Devils.

Taking advantage of the strict investigation, they instructed the demons under their command to probe the Church's influence in their respective territories. While they didn't uncover any major discoveries, they managed to expose numerous smaller ones.

No matter how insignificant, every bit counted. The demons weren't picky.

Wen Ying waited for an hour before Yun Lao called him again.

"Darling, I have good news and bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first?"

"Either way, it's good news to me if you drop the formalities."

A hint of disappointment echoed from Yun Lao's phone: "In human terms, you're just being stubborn like a dead duck."

"Wen Ying, I am not a pervert," he declared firmly. He was indeed an upright young man, and the excitement from whipping and stepping on someone's back was merely an illusion.

"The good news is that I've found the container through the secret passage," Yun Lao spoke softly. "The bad news is, with my powers currently suppressed, I can't completely destroy it. At best, I can only damage part of it. What do you think?"

If he couldn't fully destroy it and alerted the enemy, there might not be another chance to damage the container in the future.

After a moment of contemplation, various scenarios flashed through Wen Ying's mind. After weighing his options, he made a decision.

Wen Ying whispered, "Do as much damage as you possibly can."

A sharp glint flickered in Yun Lao's eyes: "You'll bear the consequences."

"No problem."

The success of neither the Demon King's scheme nor the Angel's could be allowed; balance between the two worlds must be preserved.

Wen Ying's silver eyes held an unfathomable depth of emotion and thought, perhaps this was what the angel meant by destiny.

After revealing his identity, he should no longer see himself as a spy from the human world in the demon realm, nor as an executor of the demonic invasion plan into the human world.

—He was the pivot that maintained equilibrium between both realms.

Is that what you mean, Law? Wen Ying gazed at the azure sky outside the window.

"I have no more issues then—" Yun Lao's voice betrayed the gathering of his strength.

A tremendous explosion echoed from the phone, a deafening blast that seemed to burst out from the device itself.
