Chapter 1649 1644: Lanni
The clergy of the Bright Church came quickly and left just as quickly.Leaving behind a scene of chaos.
More than two hundred clergy came to Nopheler Castle.
But in the end, only Jimmy and Guy managed to retreat.
And whether Jimmy will survive is still unknown.
Indeed, Jimmy is very powerful.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay the price after using Forbidden Magic.
However, unquestionably, the price he needs to pay is far less than that of the blood clan member.
Only about ten minutes after Jimmy and Guy retreated.
The blood clan member who used the sacrifice technique turned to ash.
He used the sacrificial method to gain immense power in a short time.
But ultimately, it wasn't his power, and he paid an enormous price and sacrifice.
However, he failed to keep Jimmy, and perhaps that is his regret.
The dogs of the Bright Church suffered heavy casualties.
And how could their own people possibly remain unscathed?
Among the younger generation of the blood clan, a hundred lives were lost in this incident.
Among them, there were direct descendants of the Thirteen Clans.
The blood clan was dealt a blow by this sudden accident.
The Nopheler Family bore the brunt!
"Patriarch Harlow, we hope you can give us a satisfactory explanation!"
A powerful blood clan member who had just lost his offspring questioned Harlow.
The Bright Church's raid was too bizarre.
People had no choice but to find a scapegoat for it.
As the host family, the Nopheler Family undoubtedly became the target of everyone's anger.
"Hmph!" Karloki snorted coldly.
The aura of a strong presence instantly filled the scene.
"Are you suspecting that my Nopheler Family has any ties with the church's dogs? Hmm?" Karloki crushed the duke's pressure onto the blood clan member who had just spoken.
"Hmph..." The blood clan member grunted after feeling the pressure from Karloki.
He was already injured during the previous battle.
How could he withstand the imposing pressure from a bloodline duke?
"Duke Karloki, even as a senior, you cannot bully others like this, can you?" A sinister voice arose from the crowd.
"Lanni Field? When did you, the old undying one, arrive?" Karloki's expression changed slightly.
Lanni Field was once a duke too.
But he used forbidden means in a battle with the Bright Church, gaining immense power for a short period.
Which ultimately resulted in the backlash from the Forbidden power.
Although he survived.
He fell from the Duke realm to the Marquis realm.
But even just a Marquis is not something a general Saint Realm strongman can handle.
After all, he was once a powerful Duke.
Even Karloki was quite wary of him.
The Nopheler Family and the Field family have always been rivals.
Worse than the relationship between the Othello family and the Kulich Family.
Karloki did not expect that the person sent by the Field family to attend the banquet today would be his long-time rival.
"When I arrived is not important, what's important is when did those dogs of the Bright Church arrive? They wouldn't have come without any warning, right?"
Lanni Field walked out from the crowd and approached Karloki step by step.
"Karloki, it's been many years since we last met, you are still so... insidious? Oh, haha, forgive me for using that word to describe you, but... can you give everyone an explanation?"
Lanni faced the blood clan crowd, his face was clearly visible to Su Chen.
Although he still looked like a middle-aged man, his hair was already turning gray.
The aristocratic aura unique to the blood clan made him look extraordinarily exceptional.
But his hooked nose completely ruined his handsome appearance.
"I have nothing to explain." Karloki said, his face dark.
"Nothing to explain? So our hundreds of bloodline descendants died in vain?"
Although Karloki knew what the person in front of was planning.
But what he said was so hard to argue against.
Because everything he said was a fact.
Hundreds of the blood clan people met an untimely fate, someone needed to take responsibility.
"I also don't know what's up with that group of Bright Church dogs, I've already brought over half of the elite of the Upper Society of The Sun Never Sets Empire, yet they dared to make a move..."
As Karloki spoke, something suddenly occurred to him.
He waved his hand, having a servant of the Nopheler Family 'escort' everyone in the banquet hall outside.
"Here they are, you can decide how to deal with them yourselves."
This was Karloki's reluctant move, he knew, that once he'd done this.
The Nopheler Family's influence in the Sun Never Sets region would plummet.
Many of their businesses and people they controlled may be affected and implicated.
But he had no other choice.
Making enemies of so many bloodline families, even the Nopheler Family could not afford to be so arrogant.
However, Lanni seemed to not notice this group of 'upper class people'.
But instead, he aimed at an unexpected presence.
"What about him?"
"He..." Karloki was startled.
The one Lanni pointed to was none other than Su Chen.
Su Chen had essentially become the de facto Guest Elder of the Nopheler Family.
If Lanni targeted Su Chen, this issue might really not be resolved smoothly.
Unless... the Nopheler Family abandoned Su Chen.
No, it's more than that, Lanni would likely demand that the Nopheler Family apprehend Su Chen.
But Karloki, fully aware of Su Chen's strength, would never do anything so thankless.
"He is a Guest Elder of my Nopheler Family," Karloki said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Is that so? But why did I see him aiding the dogs of the Bright Church against my bloodline?" Lanni sneered.
With Lanni's words, many started to recall and realized it seemed to be true!
Earlier, if it were not for Su Chen restraining most of the Bloodline Marquises.
How could that group of Bright Church dogs so easily massacre the bloodline youngsters?
In an instant, the crowd was furious, eager to kill Su Chen immediately!
Yet Su Chen wasn't frightened by this.
Instead, he laughed heartily: "Is this the blood clan? A bunch of brainless fools!"
The blood clan's impression of Su Chen was never favorable.
Especially since Su Chen restrained a large number of Bloodline Marquises, leading to the young blood members being slaughtered by the Bright Church.
Now they wished to skin him alive, eat his flesh and drink his blood.
And Su Chen dared to incite hatred?
Even Karloki was unsure of what Su Chen was thinking.
But at least for now, there was no need for him to step in.
"You think we don't dare to kill you?!" Lanni sneered repeatedly at Su Chen.
Su Chen's strength was nearly that of a bloodline duke.
If he were to join the Nopheler Family, he would certainly become a grave threat to the Field family in the future.
Hence, Lanni pointed his spear precisely at Su Chen!
