Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 431: Chapter 175: Fighting Qi Breakthrough, Body Refining Mage!

They began to ponder if Duke Frost Wolf truly possessed the secret to advancing to Tier Eight.

Then perhaps they too could reach that legendary realm.

The knights started discussing among themselves; some planned to meet Duke Frost Wolf, but most remained observant, hoping to gather more evidence.

Regardless of their stance, the emergence of Duke Frost Wolf undoubtedly sent unprecedented shockwaves through the entire knight realm.

As the news spread, the atmosphere in the Holy Light Church grew even more solemn.

They had just lost a Saint, and must exercise caution.

Although the Holy Light Church had recently produced several Tier Seven Holy Light Knights and Saints, no Tier Eight Saints had yet emerged.

If Duke Frost Wolf had truly advanced to Tier Eight and mastered the path to that level, it would pose a severe threat to the Holy Light Church’s dominance.

In the highest council chamber of the Holy Light Church, several high-tier Holy Professionals in ornate holy robes sat together, their expressions stern and grave.

They were the closest to the Light God and the decision-makers of the Church.

Duke Frost Wolf’s rise in power made them feel an unprecedented threat.

An elderly Saint slowly spoke, his voice tinged with worry, “We must take action to ensure the Church’s position remains unshaken.”

Another Saint, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, said, “We must hasten the descent of the Divine Envoy; only the power of God can counter this threat.”

The Divine Envoys are a special existence within the Holy Light Church, holy professionals directly favored by the deity, able to wield the power of the Holy Light God.

Their descent often signifies the Church is about to unleash its most formidable power.

Decision made, the upper echelons of the Holy Light Church began preparing for the descent ceremony of the Divine Envoy.

This was a complex and solemn ceremony, requiring a massive expenditure of energy and resources.

During the ceremony preparations, the high-tier Holy Professionals of the Holy Light Church were also actively enhancing their power, knowing that every ounce of strength was crucial in the face of the impending challenge.

Simultaneously, the Holy Light Church also began secretly contacting other forces, attempting to form an alliance to jointly counter the threat posed by Duke Frost Wolf.

With the information David intentionally disseminated, the entire world’s situation changed greatly once again.

…

Frost Wolf Ridge.

“Hmm? Not planning to come?”

“Then I shall meet you all personally.”

David squinted slightly as he looked at the information in his hand.

That day, he left Frost Wolf Ridge and arrived at the Flame Kingdom via the Teleportation Array.

Subsequently, he entered the neighboring Flaming Kingdom from the Flame Kingdom.

The Flaming Kingdom and Flame Kingdom were like two twin kingdoms, but their relationship was not good.

David chose this place partly because of the adversarial relationship between the two kingdoms, and partly because of the Flaming Kingdom’s relationship with the Holy Light Church.

The Flaming Kingdom had always been a staunch supporter of the Holy Light Church.

It even adhered to the divine right of kings, binding itself deeply with the Holy Light Church.

Recently, with the success of the king of the Flaming Kingdom in breaking through to Tier Seven, the kingdom had also begun to stir restlessly.

David’s arrival did not attract much attention from the Flaming Kingdom; he entered the country as an ordinary traveler.

The capital of the Flaming Kingdom, Blazing Flame City, was a vibrant and heated city, with architecture primarily in red tones, distinctly different from the Flame Kingdom’s style.

David walked through the city, absorbing the unique atmosphere of this nation, while also observing everything around him.

He knew that although this was a staunch supporter of the Holy Light Church, it was also an excellent place for him to gather intelligence.

In Blazing Flame City, David first visited some taverns and markets, places where information often circulated the fastest.

He quickly learned that Edmund VII, the king of the Flaming Kingdom, after successfully breaking through to Tier Seven, indeed changed the entire country’s atmosphere.

Edmund VII was an ambitious ruler, harboring a strong desire to expand his territories.

And his rise in power undoubtedly provided strong support for that ambition.

David’s informant report in the Flaming Kingdom.

Recently, the Flaming Kingdom’s interactions with the Holy Light Church had become more frequent; high-tier Holy Professionals from the Church often entered the royal palace, seemingly planning something significant.

This intelligence made David realize that the Holy Light Church was already moving in the shadows.

David did not rush to take action.

According to the information he gathered, the Holy Light Church would dispatch a Saint here.

Moreover, the Flaming Kingdom was also summoning the kingdom’s nobility to convene a meeting.

He planned to wait until everyone had arrived, then decisively capture them all in one fell swoop.

Thus, after three days.

In the council chamber of the king’s palace in the Flaming Kingdom

David, using his extraordinary perception, continuously sensed his surroundings and successfully infiltrated.

With his current power as a Tier Eight Mage, ordinary barriers were completely unable to hinder his steps.

David silently infiltrated the council chamber of the king’s palace in the Flaming Kingdom, his figure fading in and out in the shadows, seemingly merging with the darkness.

His extraordinary perception allowed him to clearly capture every movement around, and no subtle sound escaped his ears.

Inside the council chamber, the nobles of the Flaming Kingdom were arriving one after another, dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing badges symbolizing their status, whispering among each other, the atmosphere tense yet expectant.
