"Hiss!"
Everyone in the meeting room gasped!
They simply couldn’t believe—
Elder Dean, whose strength was among the top tier of the Dark Church Court, was actually frightened upon seeing that Eastern man enter!
Isn’t this too exaggerated?!
Is that Eastern man really that terrifying?
But immediately!
A fire of anger ignited in everyone’s hearts:
"What’s with calling him a lord or whatever! No matter how powerful this guy is, could he be stronger than the two Ancient Demon Gods behind the Dark Church Court?"
"If you ask me, Dean’s already scared out of his wits. Any random person could scare him half to death!"
"Really putting the Dark Church Court to shame!"
"After we deal with this man, Elder Dean will naturally realize how outrageously wrong he was!"
Thus!
The followers redirected their anger towards the unexpected guest!
"Hey! Didn’t you hear us talking?"
"Who are you? How dare you come here? Do you know what this place is?"
"Hurry and kneel down, or we’ll make you die in an extremely painful way!"
The followers chattered away, spewing insults at Lin Lang!
Beside them, Dean, upon hearing these words, was scared out of his wits!
At first, he worried that Lin Lang might get angry and punish these people!
After all, they were from the same sect, and he felt a bit reluctant!
But now!
He no longer cared about their lives!
He only hoped that when they died, they wouldn’t affect him!
However!
Upon hearing their disrespect towards him.
Lin Lang showed no sign of displeasure, but instead smiled and asked:
"Don’t any of you recognize me?"
Among the numerous followers present, naturally, some had heard of Lin Lang’s reputation!
But it was just vague rumors!
Whether Lin Lang was truly as formidable as the legends said, probably no one knew except Dean, who had witnessed it firsthand.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are, why should we know you?"
"Haha! We didn’t know you before! But we’ll soon know... you’re about to become a dead man!"
These followers spoke with no courtesy.
But Lin Lang didn’t stoop to their level and instead looked at Dean, who was cowering silently.
With a smile, he said:
"Mr. Dean, we meet again. The matter I asked others to convey to you before, you haven’t fulfilled it properly."
What Lin Lang referred to, of course, was his earlier request for Sunlight Qianyu to visit the Beautiful Country and offered the Dark Church Court two choices:
One was death!
One was submission to Lin Lang!
Dean had vowed to submit to Lin Lang!
But now!
None of the Church Court members even recognized Lin Lang!
Not only did they insult him!
But also wanted to elect a new Pope without his consent?
Isn’t this completely disregarding him as the new master of the Dark Church Court?
"I, your subordinate, admit my mistake."
Upon hearing Lin Lang’s questioning, Dean’s heart sank to the bottom!
He then took a step forward, facing Lin Lang, and knelt on one knee, bowing his head.
Even though it was just one knee!
Yet!
Within the culture of the Dark Church Court, this was the highest form of etiquette!
Generally speaking!
Even as the Great Elder, Dean didn’t need to pay such respects to the Church Court’s supreme ruler!
But he did so towards Lin Lang!
This signifies!
In Dean’s mind, Lin Lang’s status is already higher than the Pope’s!
"Dean! You’re going too far!"
And Dean’s action undoubtedly broke the defenses of many followers!
As the Great Elder of the Dark Church Court, a distinguished person beneath one and above thousands!
To actually be so deferential before an unknown figure!
Isn’t this putting the Dark Church Court to shame!
"Hmph! After I beat this Eastern Country brat to his knees, I’ll clean our ranks!"
A black-robed Elder finally couldn’t hold back!
He got up and flew towards Lin Lang!
Dark aura surged from him!
Carrying a powerful pressure!
Clearly intending to defeat Lin Lang in one strike!
But!
Witnessing this scene!
Lin Lang remained unmoved and didn’t even blink!
While Dean!
Lightly sighed, then closed his eyes, unable to bear watching:
"Those who bring misfortune upon themselves, cannot live!"
