Chapter 465 - 358: 【Plague Sect】_2
The next day, he learned that Patrick had been killed by someone else, and even the "Hurricane" had been taken.
Lis sailed the "Hurricane" to the port of Giant Horn Island, coercing and tempting the Guardian of Giant Horn Port to hand over those involved with Patrick. Had he not been meticulous and prepared in advance, he would have been captured as well.
At that time, Messian was at the port and naturally sensed the special aura emanating from Lis.
It was the mark left on Lis by the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of their followers.
The aura was quite clear, indicating it was recently marked by the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
In no time, Messian had locked onto the person who had attacked Patrick!
After reporting the matter to Patrick’s teacher, the Legendary Strongman Elvin, he carried Elvin’s orders to Bright City.
In fact, Messian was a subordinate of another legend, the leader of the All Beast Church. Despite this, he took the initiative to take charge of the matter concerning Patrick.
Although as an important member of the Evil God Church, he didn’t value loyalty like ordinary mercenaries, Patrick was one of his good friends, and he naturally couldn’t swallow the insult.
"Who is it?"
The Divine Envoy’s heart sank.
Messian was someone he knew; although not strong, his standing in the All Beast Church was indeed not low.
The most important thing was that Messian was one of the few in the All Beast Church known for clever stratagem and cunning, unlike the majority who knew only mindless fighting.
Since Messian had come to him, it meant that the person who killed Patrick was in Bright City or would soon arrive.
Could someone capable of killing Patrick be easy to deal with?
The Divine Envoy had a headache; the failure of the Blood Sacrifice Chaos had already greatly weakened him, and now he was secretly licking his wounds, slowly gathering strength and waiting for the next opportunity.
However, he couldn’t ignore the command of Elvin.
"There’s no need for that, I think you’ll be interested in this target as well," Messian said, smiling at the slightly unfriendly expression on the Divine Envoy’s face.
"Hmm?"
The Divine Envoy stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Messian.
"It’s Marquis Kane, Lis Kain."
Messian nodded and said with a hint of significance:
"The one who disrupted your plans in Bright City, he has returned to Bright City."
"Him!"
The Divine Envoy paused, picturing a handsome young man wearing a black and elegant evening gown, full of vigor.
"But, he was silver level just last year. How could he possibly kill Patrick?"
"The ’Blood Shark’ really is getting old, isn’t he, living only to regress!"
Messian didn’t mind the Divine Envoy’s taunt about Patrick and said lightly:
"I hope it’s not true, because if it is, then that’s a big problem."

"Unfortunately, I’ve seen the man who killed Patrick, and after comparing him with the portrait of Marquis Kane, I’m certain they are the same person."
"But..."
The Divine Envoy sat back at his desk, the tapping of his right hand on the desk growing more agitated.
"Messian, you know, when I learned that it was Lis who ruined my planned Blood Sacrifice and prevented the Divine Incarnation of My Lord, I have constantly wanted to kill him, to offer his flesh and soul to My Lord as atonement."
"But his teacher is the ’Judgement Flame,’ and as far as I know, the ’Judgement Flame’ has always been within the Feis Royal Magic Academy in Bright City. It’s almost impossible to strike at his disciple under his watchful eye."
"The ’Judgement Flame’ has certainly provided Lis with magic items to protect himself; it’s very difficult to make a move on Lis!"
The Divine Envoy said through gritted teeth, his gaze turning towards Messian.
Messian nodded in understanding of the Divine Envoy’s sentiments.
He was no foolhardy brute; he would certainly have investigated thoroughly before plotting anything.
"I am well aware of that and have reported the matter to Elvin. Of course, there is a plan," Messian replied confidently.
"There are roughly two plans to choose from."
"Lis has stolen Patrick’s Hurricane, and according to my investigation, some of his subordinates are still wandering the Pearl Sea on this magic ship,"
"I estimate that Lis is unlikely to stay in Bright City for long and may return to the Pearl Sea afterward. We can take action against Lis there, but that would require the aid of the Divine Envoy,"
"However, Elvin said that ’Judgment Flame’ is extremely skilled in space magic, so distance within the Gaia World means little to that person."
"The second plan is to strike at Lis in Bright City, which would also serve as revenge against the Feis Kingdom for daring to hinder my lord’s divine descent."
The Divine Envoy fell silent for a moment, then looked at Messian and said,
"In Bright City, the difficulty is much greater."
"According to the revelation I received from my lord, including ’Judgment Flame,’ four legendary strongmen took action the last time my lord descended,"
The Divine Envoy thought for a moment, then still shook his head.
He naturally wanted to wash away the shame of the last Blood Sacrifice Chaos, but reality told him that without sufficient strength, it was nearly impossible to achieve.
Their last plan set in Bright City might have succeeded in Luminous Stone City of the Boditch Kingdom, but it got thoroughly schooled in Bright City.
Apart from those four legendary strongmen who took action, the most crucial was this Lis Kain.
He became a Marquis because of his achievements during the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, which made Lis all the more thorn in the Divine Envoy’s eye.
"This time won’t be like the last time, our main target is this Lis Kain."
"Since he’s so important, killing him will make my lord even happier,"
Messian said with a smile, and then added,
"This time, Elvin will also take action, and the lord has contacted some other helpers as well."
"Elvin... is going to take action personally?"
The Divine Envoy could hardly believe it.
It wasn’t that he doubted Elvin’s strength, but he believed more in the notoriety of ’Judgment Flame.’
After all, the number of legendary strongmen who had fallen at the hands of ’Judgment Flame’ had already exceeded a dozen, and most of them were legends from the Evil God Church, which spoke volumes about this person’s fame.
Especially among the transcendent professionals of the Evil God Church!
During the last Blood Sacrifice Chaos, the Divine Envoy was confident that as long as the Divine Incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts could descend, facing ’Judgment Flame’ wouldn’t be a problem.
But reality had given him a harsh lesson!
The thought of Elvin personally confronting that person at the pinnacle of legend made the Divine Envoy feel less confident.
"There are other helpers too."
Messian glanced at the Divine Envoy and said softly,
"Like members of the Plague Sect."
"...I understand."
The Divine Envoy did not continue to ask and nodded to indicate he had no further questions.
The Plague Sect, also a part of the Evil God Church like the All Beast Church, worships the Evil God, Lady Plague!
Although Lady Plague is a mid-level divine power Evil God and not one of the most powerful bunch of Evil Gods.
But the existence of the Plague Sect, even amongst the many Evil God Churches, is a group of extremely twisted individuals; they all carry unique plagues and diseases to be closer to their deity, Lady Plague.
The most common cause of death for followers of the Plague Sect is not the purging by the True God Church, but dying from the plagues they nourish.
This has also made every survivor of the Plague Sect a complete madman, and almost everyone keeps their distance, fearing they might contract the plagues that they bear.
But undoubtedly, the strength of the members of the Plague Sect is mighty.
At the very least, they are like untouchable bombs!
I didn’t expect Elvin to join forces with them!
With this in mind, we don’t need those legendary strongmen of ’Judgment Flame’; focusing solely on Lis will be enough.
The Divine Envoy comforted himself internally, feeling much relieved.
