With a joy that comes with further improvement in strength, Du Chen arrived at the "Tiger" tavern.

Bairu, Mars, and others were discussing something in the basement of the tavern, around a map. Bairu smiled when he saw Du Chen, his smile still mysterious and profound. "Bishop Francis, you must have brought me good news!"

"You're right!" Du Chen approached the map and glanced at an island located dozens of miles south of Fighter god Island. This is where King Mountain is located, a subsidiary island of the Fighter god Academy.

"I have discussed with the 'Knife'," Du Chen said as he looked at the map of King Mountain, his voice low. "He is willing to fully support the Holy Church and promised not to ask who helped him afterwards! However, he will take away the imprisoned demon afterwards, and you cannot ask who he is." At this point, Du Chen felt a bit bitter in his heart. In order to impersonate an expert, he never actually asked about Helen's strength, so he could only continue vaguely, "Besides himself, he also promised to provide at least one ninth-level divine pet with the ability to communicate and manipulate minds!"

"Communication and mind control? That's great news!" Bairu exclaimed excitedly. "With this, many divine pets in the waters around Fighter god Island can become our controlled puppets! March 3rd, haha, a riot of divine pets on Duoshen Island! Dear brother Mars, can you imagine Zieg's expression when he sees this?"

Mars shrugged and chuckled, "That stubborn old guy won't be able to smile for a long time!"

Looking at their joyful expressions, Du Chen suddenly said in a calm voice, "I have seen my friend! He has also agreed to help me, of course, helping me is the same as helping... the Holy Church! But if anyone tries to probe into his details, well, it will be a matter of life and death!"

Bairu's sharp eyes quickly focused on Du Chen, "Doesn't he want anything else as a price?"

"We are friends, aren't we? Besides, I am also a bishop of the Holy Church!" Du Chen said kindly. "It would hurt our relationship to talk about prices. Let's each take what we need!"

"You're right, we are friends, forever friends!" Bairu said sincerely, but only geniuses know how much his words can be believed. Du Chen didn't care and continued, "Philip's experiments must be completely destroyed! That is the request of the Holy Church. And my friend's request is for Philip's experimental subjects!"

"Does your friend also like alchemy?" Bairu's eyes showed a hint of unease. He was afraid that after Philip's removal, there would be another even more powerful alchemy maniac.

"Why would he? Honorable Bairu, they are just experimental subjects! Those experiments contain many precious and rare treasures! They have uses other than alchemy, don't they?"

Bairu turned to focus on one of the twelve guardian deities, and the person quickly lowered his head and said, "Honorable Bairu, according to my research on alchemy, if only the experimental subjects are taken away, it won't cause the results you're worried about. However, Philip, his assistants, and he himself must die! The crucial data must not be left behind!"

Satisfied with the expert's answer, Bairu nodded, "Francis, I agree to your friend's request. Now, tell me about your plan!"

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"Okay, my plan is simple. First, the Holy Church, in the name of His Holiness the Pope, will find an excuse to divert the attention of the academy's experts, those who are publicly known as experts. This will greatly reduce the resistance we face. Then, on March 3rd..." Du Chen spoke eloquently, and Bairu's smile grew wider.

"That's the general idea, but according to my friend, there may be two very powerful individuals protecting Philip. Their strength is not inferior to my friend!" These two individuals, of course, refer to the twitch and the corpse transformation beside Philip!

"What?" Bairu suddenly slammed the table, frowned, and gritted his teeth, "If there really are two people like that, your plan will never succeed!"

Du Chen smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, I have another friend who should be able to deal with one of them!"

"You have another friend?"

Du Chen's smile became even more mysterious. "Yes, I have many special friends!"

On March 1st, in Helen's attic dormitory, the two of them were sitting together discussing something. "Miss, these are the only information I got. Do you think they can convince Francis?"

"Sulan, I don't know, I really don't know! But we can only give it a try!"

Suddenly! Du Chen appeared again in front of Helen out of thin air.

"What information? Show me!" Du Chen sat coldly on the chair. Helen and Sulan, on the other side, were surprised, despite having the previous experience. If the last time could still be called an accident, this time they were more cautious, but the result was the same as last time, with no prior discovery!

"Your Excellency, all the information is here. Phillip is conducting an experiment called 'Spirit Seed' with Phoebe!" Helen handed Du Chen a stack of documents and waited by the side.

Du Chen took a look and was secretly surprised. Damn it, Phillip is indeed a genius!

The so-called 'Spirit Seed' experiment is treating humans as soil and planting something called 'Spirit Seed', invented by Phillip, in this 'soil'. Then, through a series of methods, Phillip first cultivates the 'soil', and then the Spirit Seed will bloom and bear fruit within the human body, absorbing everything from the host.

The final step, of course, is for Phillip to harvest the fruit after it has bloomed. By eating the Spirit Seed, Phillip obtains not just Qi but everything from the host!

The ultimate goal of Phillip's experiment is to obtain Phoebe's bloodline! That is, to obtain the bloodline of Francis' grandfather. This way, he would have a chance to obtain the extraordinary divine power bestowed by Faye!

Seeing this, Du Chen understood everything about Phillip's actions and couldn't help but laugh secretly. The so-called Qi inheritance and talent change were just means to make the 'soil' better! It's ridiculous how the Holy Church even associated it with his creation of gods!

But this is even better, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to manipulate them so easily!

Helen timidly asked, "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with these materials?"

Du Chen didn't answer him but instead clapped his hands.

‘Clap clap', a black figure appeared on the wall in front of Helen, seemingly embedded in the wall, revealing a menacing skinning knife outside the wall. It made both the master and servant feel a sudden drop in the temperature in the room.

"Your Excellency, I await your orders!" According to the plan, the Skinner bowed to Du Chen.

Helen and Sulan's psychological defenses completely collapsed. Is this Francis' friend? His aura is too powerful, even his father is not as powerful, no, even though they are unwilling to admit it, this person should be even stronger than his father!

Such a powerful character is actually bowing to Francis and using a humble, servant-like tone to inquire about his orders!?

Oh my god! How powerful is Francis really!?

Du Chen looked at Helen's reaction calmly and pointed at the Skinner without much concern. "The day after tomorrow, this friend of mine will go with you to rescue someone, and there will be a few other youngsters. He will tell you how to proceed! But be smarter, don't ask what you shouldn't! Understood? My friend doesn't have as good of a temper as me when it comes to talking!"

Helen nodded vigorously and said with joy, "Rest assured, I only hope for my father's safety! I won't speak a word more!"
