Vatican!

In this ancient holy city bathed in Holy Light, an unexpected guest arrived today.

"Buzz!"

After the void twisted slightly, Mu Jinyu's figure gradually emerged from it, shifting from afar to hover above this holy city.

"Vatican... This is my first time here."

Suspended high in the air, Mu Jinyu gazed down at the holy city below, murmuring to himself.

"Who goes there?!"

As Mu Jinyu appeared above the Vatican, without concealing his aura or presence, he was immediately detected by the people of Brilliant Divine Authority.

"Rustle, rustle!"

"Whiz, whiz!!"

One by one, the red-clad Archbishops emerged from an ancient and sacred church, staring intently at Mu Jinyu above.

"Dragon King?!"

"Mu Jinyu!"

They naturally recognized Mu Jinyu, their expressions changed slightly, some turned pale, thinking Mu Jinyu came for revenge for the recent Eastern Expedition led by Francis.

Everyone grew tense.

The air was filled with a sense of unease and fear.

"Dragon King, if there's anything, come at me, they are innocent..."

At this moment, Francis, the Pope of Brilliant Divine Authority, appeared, holding a Golden Scepter, looking up at Mu Jinyu, eyes filled with unwillingness yet helplessness, finally lowering his proud head with a sigh.

Mu Jinyu glanced at him and waved his hand, "For the sake of Pope Reinhardt who sacrificed himself during the dark turmoil, and those red-clad archbishops, I won't hold this too much against you, I am here for another matter to discuss!"

"What matter?"

Hearing that Mu Jinyu was not here to settle scores, Francis and the red-clad archbishops behind him slightly relaxed, asking in a more gentle tone.

Mu Jinyu slowly descended, landing near Francis, then, in a tone similar to introducing Sheng Rulai and Ning Fan, simply explained the matter of the scapegoat to the people of Brilliant Divine Authority.

"This..."

"How could this be?"

"Is the Dragon King joking with us?"

After hearing Mu Jinyu's words, everyone felt that Mu Jinyu might be joking and didn't quite believe it.

Mu Jinyu didn't waste more words, and directly cast a spell.

Immediately, Holy Light, even more brilliant and sacred than that of Brilliant Divine Authority, burst forth, enveloping Francis and the red-clad archbishops.

"Ugh-oh..."

"Hiss-ugh..."

As this group bathed in Mu Jinyu's Holy Light, quite a few people suddenly emanated Demonic Qi, resembling devils.

What was more shocking was...

Pope Francis of Brilliant Divine Authority also emitted Demonic Qi alongside them.

He looked at Mu Jinyu with red eyes, his face twisted in struggle, no longer displaying the original firmness and confidence!

Like a Fierce Ghost emerging from Hell!

"This..."

"How did the Pope become like this?"

"Is it the Dragon King's light, is he the culprit?"

"No, if it were the Dragon King's secret technique that turned the Pope and them into this devilish ghostly form, we couldn't possibly have been spared..."

"So, is this the scapegoat form that the Dragon King mentioned earlier?"

At this time, most of the unaffected bishops of Brilliant Divine Authority, witnessing the change in Francis and others, all changed their expressions drastically.

Some initially thought this was the result of Mu Jinyu's secret technique, causing them to become demonically grotesque, but soon they realized they were also under Mu Jinyu's light, and were unharmed?

Thus, the earlier words of Mu Jinyu were actually true, and many among them also had issues?

Mu Jinyu looked at Francis, struggling painfully within the Demonic Qi, with a calm expression, yet a slight ripple formed in his heart.

So that's it...

No wonder Francis suddenly desired an Eastern Expedition!

It turns out he had problems long ago, with parts of his memory altered by Chu Tiance.

In that case, can I still involve him in this matter?

If he is involved, will there be problems?

"Buzz!"

Mu Jinyu stopped the spell, reining in the divine light.

Immediately, the members of Brilliant Divine Authority, who were struggling painfully under the divine light, all regained their presence of mind, returning to their original appearances.

"Dragon King... I..."

Regaining consciousness, Francis found himself half-kneeling on the ground, looking at his dirt-stained hands in disbelief at his own corruption!

He did not suspect Mu Jinyu's spell made him that way; he knew that he indeed had a problem!

At this moment, he finally realized he did have some issues, remembering the Eastern Expedition now seemed peculiar, and he couldn't even recall why he made such a decision!

"Dragon King, I'm sorry... I..."

Realizing this, Francis immediately raised his head, looking at Mu Jinyu with a complex expression, "Dragon King, as for me, it's irrelevant, but please you must help save them..."

He pointed behind him at the group of red-clad archbishops, their faces showing bewilderment and despair, who had also become ghastly under Mu Jinyu's light just like him!

Francis could endure this outcome himself, but he did not want them to be the same.

Having heard Mu Jinyu mention a possible remedy earlier, he immediately abandoned all pride and dignity, pleading for Mu Jinyu's help to dispel this Demonic Qi for them.

As Francis spoke, gritting his teeth, he prepared to kneel to Mu Jinyu right there in Vatican, in front of countless people.

Mu Jinyu immediately waved a hand, channeling abundant True Yuan to intercept his kneeling movement, then said, "No need to plead for my help; I came here seeking your assistance, so let it be mutual aid..."

"This..." Francis's movement being intercepted by Mu Jinyu left him stiff and awkward, but upon hearing Mu Jinyu's sincere words, his expression changed slightly before finally sighing faintly, "Then it would trouble the Dragon Master, just say whatever needs our help..."

"Hmm, I won't be modest with you..."

Mu Jinyu's expression remained unchanged as he said, "This matter is of great importance, I will invite those who showed no problem under my spell to go to Huaxia together to explore solutions. As for you, Pope, and those who had issues earlier, please sleep for some time..."

"Alright!" Francis, understanding the gravity of the situation, had no hesitation upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, nodding immediately.

His demeanor and tone carried a sense of going to a gallant death.

Mu Jinyu smiled slightly, then waved a hand, promptly knocking out Francis and the bishops who had been corrupted by Demonic Qi, throwing them into the church, and setting up a formation over it to keep them in slumber for the time being.

Likewise, if anyone were to arrive at the Vatican during this period, they too couldn't enter this church.

"Let's go."

After temporarily settling Francis and the others, Mu Jinyu looked at the group of apprehensive yet untouched bishops, speaking gently.

"Alright." These bishops nodded lightly, then boarded Mu Jinyu's Flying Boat, swiftly heading towards Huaxia!
