With Lin Ye's words, he has practically severed any possibility of reconciliation with the Church Court.

Because this goes against the centralization of faith that the Church Court attempts to inculcate within itself.

Lin Ye's statement essentially suggests that faith doesn't matter; as long as you adhere to the Path of Holy Light, one can become the Holy Light themselves!

Such an interpretation of 'Holy Light' is deemed exceedingly rebellious in the eyes of many within the Church Court.

After all, the Church Court's appearance relies on constantly centralizing faith and turning itself into the representative of the Holy Light...

Lin Ye is now trying to dismantle the doctrine of centralized faith of the Church Court, which is tantamount to completely cutting off the Church Court's path to survival.

"If Senior Luo Daohe knew that someone carrying the Path of Holy Flame would utter such words, how gratified he would be?"

Liang Houyun muttered, the light in his eyes remaining for a long time.

In an instant, as if he'd made up his mind, he directly pushed through the crowd, heading forward.

"Why are you pushing me?"

"Why are you squeezing like a chicken..."

Those pushed aside complained, but upon seeing the tall and strong figure of Liang Houyun, they immediately shut their mouths and obediently made way.

Of course, height isn't the key; the key is that the aura this strongman emits is clearly not to be trifled with.

Even his aura alone is enough to completely sap the fighting spirit of ordinary Professionals.

And at this moment, Liang Houyun's will was particularly focused, his emotions even more heightened, and the light surrounding him almost about to materialize.

With each step he took, Holy Seals fell to the ground, seemingly followed by chants, and his aura escalated step by step to the point that those around found their legs weak.

Everyone present saw this scene.

Lin Ye naturally noticed too and couldn't help but look over.

He saw Liang Houyun already parting the crowd like the sea and walking up to him.

Even as Wu Xiao and others stood in front of Lin Ye, trembling under Liang Houyun's aura of a Third-Turn Powerhouse, they refused to retreat.

"Alliance Army Warriors, please step aside. I, Third-Turn Holy Knight Liang Houyun, have come to seek the Holy Light within my heart, and I request to follow Saint Lin into battle!"

Liang Houyun straightforwardly declared.

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar!

Even Wu Xiao and others were directly dumbfounded.

A Third-Turn Holy Knight!

Within the Church Court, such a figure is at least equivalent to a Grand Knight Commander level in the Holy Temple Knight Order.

It's the kind of position that could soon step into the top leadership levels.

The most crucial part is, this Holy Knight appears to be in his thirties, meaning he has substantial room for growth.

A Grand Knight Commander's height, which others might struggle their entire life to reach, would probably just be a starting point for him.

And now, this kind of individual wants to follow Lin Ye?

Although he says he seeks his own Holy Light, in most people's eyes, Liang Houyun's intention still seems to be following Lin Ye.

That alone is sufficient.

Lin Ye didn't expect Liang Houyun would be in Shenzhen.

Upon seeing Liang Houyun's attitude of enjoying the spectacle, he knew everything.

This fellow has come due to his previous words!

The average person wouldn't understand what Lin Ye's previous words meant, but how could someone from the Twelve Noble Families' direct lineage, like Liang Houyun, not understand?

His grandparent's generations have been meticulously plotting, hoping to make the Church Court the embodiment of Holy Light in the mortal world.

And although Lin Ye's previous words were casually made up on the spot, they truly reflected his inner thoughts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have blurted such a theory.

The power of Holy Light was initially humanity's self-saving light during the peril of the Abyss's descent.

The Church Court's actions essentially aim to monopolize this power.

To many insightful people, this is seen as an overreach, a desire driven by greed.

But the Church Court has operated for years, and a couple of enlightened individuals cannot shake its monopoly on the Path of Holy Light, only Lin Ye's emergence brings a different light.

Liang Houyun is considered an oddity among the Twelve Noble Families, so his current actions are not surprising.

"Wu Xiao, make way for him," Lin Ye ordered.

Lin Ye didn't have a good attitude toward the Church Court, and with Liang Houyun clearly intending to stir things up, he naturally didn't mind.

Both men were restless souls; otherwise, they wouldn't be close friends despite decades apart in their past life.

The difference is that Liang Houyun is externally flamboyant, while Lin Ye is subtly flamboyant.

And subtle flamboyance is evidently more lethal.

"As you command!" Upon hearing Lin Ye's order, Wu Xiao immediately made way.

Liang Houyun stepped forward, the Holy Light surrounding him gradually collected, standing silently and upright behind Lin Ye.

Clearly in a pose of submission to Lin Ye.

This scene greatly emphasized Lin Ye's authority.

To have subjugated a Third-Turn Powerhouse, and notably a powerful Holy Knight, Lin Ye's prestige indeed needs no further words.

Liang Houyun stood behind Lin Ye, internally laughing gleefully.

He delighted in making those old cronies of the Church Court feel uncomfortable.

"Wait, isn't Liang Houyun... the Liang God of the Tower of Competition?"

"It's really him! No wonder he's so willing to follow Lin Ye; turns out he's been defeated by Lin Ye!"

"Exactly! He's the one, defeated by Saint Lin with just one elbow!"

"The spectacle of that elbow strike, tsk tsk..."

Finally, people around started recognizing Liang Houyun.

But those comments somewhat made Liang Houyun feel embarrassed...

What does 'the man defeated by Lin Ye's elbow' even mean?

That was about an elbow? Please, that was a belly full of scheming; the elbow was merely the closing move!

You claim credit for the final bite when you're full, while negating the previous bites?

Do you guys even know how to watch a competition?

Liang Houyun was utterly frustrated...

...

Lin Ye's words were not confined to just that tiny area of the square.

Through almost every channel, they spread swiftly to every region where humans could communicate.

"Indeed, excessively arrogant!"

"This child wields the Power of Holy Light, but doesn't show gratitude, even casting the Church Court into unrighteousness—a true turncoat!"

"Satanic words deceiving the public! He deserves to be punished for blasphemy!"

Within the Southern Church Court, a group of bishops became enraged upon receiving the information.

Sitting in the main seat, Qin Lu merely sneered and said, "Now even the Holy Core should realize, this child is not worth recruiting!"

In his view, Lin Ye's words were like a fox revealing its tail!

This guy is a blasphemer through and through, never to be converted.

Time to abandon illusions.
