The chaos in the Champion Battlefield quickly spread through human society.

Even though the majority of lower-tier Professionals had never even heard of such a competition, the fact that one of the participants was Lin Ye immediately sparked heated discussion.

It’s normal not to know about the competition, but not knowing Lin Ye is unusual.

Although Lin Ye had been relatively quiet lately, not causing any global announcements, the fact that he triggered two miracles in Shan City within a single day was still quite sensational.

Spurred by these various events, Lin Ye’s fame had far surpassed that of many renowned powerhouses.

The ‘Champion Battlefield,’ a contest only for select elites, also drew significant attention immediately.

Yet, under such pressure, the Professional Alliance had yet to come up with a solution.

…

“Has the Church Court given no response?”

“If the Church Court is willing to act and join us in storming the Abyss to force the Celestial Calamity Demon God to stop, those participants could come out safely.”

“There’s no need for such a grand scheme; if the Pope teams up with the ten Cardinals to perform the Great Prayer Technique, they could pull Lin Ye directly out of the battlefield. The Celestial Calamity Demon God would naturally let the others go since Lin Ye is his only target.”

“Heh… Even if the Celestial Calamity Demon God would actually spare the others, getting the Pope to act is still highly unlikely…”

“Let’s not speak of impossibilities… It’s better to just directly find that Gongsun fellow and pay a price to have him extract the people!”

“Finding Gongsun? Isn’t that seeking a tiger’s skin?”

In that strange space, the runes that glowed continuously flickered.

There was no decision yet on how to resolve the matter.

This issue seemed nearly irresolvable!

Even a Level 100 Fourth-Turned Array Master couldn’t forcefully open a passage to the battlefield regardless of energy consumption.

In such circumstances, all rescue efforts had to be resolved from the outside.

“I’ve already contacted Gongsun, and he’s unwilling to act, as for the Church Court, the Holy Core has sent word that the Pope is praying for the participants.”

From the most brilliant light group above all the runes, a voice spoke.

The scene fell silent for a few seconds before someone couldn’t help but speak up.

“That old scoundrel! Truly regressing as he ages!”

“Pray… They really have the gall to say that!”

“Forget it! Expecting them to act is just impossible…”

“Heh heh… It’s more like this incident suits their agenda perfectly!”

“Indeed… Whenever anything happens on the Alliance’s side, they are always the most delighted, let alone this time the focus is on Lin Ye!”

All these people in the discussion were holding in their anger.

Over the years, they’ve clearly endured quite a lot from the Church Court, but had no choice but to endure it.

Even the Alliance had to weigh things carefully before the Noble Families who consider themselves the Holy Light Orthodoxy and control the Church Court…

After all, fighting the Abyss is impossible without strong healing support.

And the Church Court has the most high-tier Healers and Priests, besides having a large number of Holy Light Believers in human society…

So, on the surface it seems like the Church Court doesn’t have much hard power, but even the Alliance doesn’t dare to truly challenge them.

Otherwise, the Alliance’s military wouldn’t be considering establishing their own Holy Light Legion.

But due to the Church Court’s obstruction, this legion has never been formed.

It wasn’t until Lin Ye’s appearance that this idea finally materialized.

This made the always self-possessed Church Court feel threatened…

If the greatest threat to all of humanity is the Abyss Demon God, then to the Church Court, Lin Ye’s threat is no less significant.

“Everyone calm down… Although Gongsun is unwilling to act, he did tell me Lin Ye is not entirely without a chance to escape safely…”

“Gongsun’s words can be trusted.”

The highest rune flickered.

As the only Fifth-Turn Ultimate Powerhouse present, his words always carried the greatest authority.

And they also heard the implied meaning in Gongsun’s words—

“The game has begun!”

…

While the outside world was in chaos over their entrapment, the participants inside the battlefield were also trying every means to save themselves.

As time passed second by second, in the blink of an eye, the participants had been cut off from the outside world for nearly ten hours.

“What a bother…”

Kong Feiliu held a magic staff of an azure hue, surrounded by undead soldiers frozen into ice sculptures.

At the end of these ice sculptures was a colossal beast enveloped in a hard ice layer.

A battlefield beast!

It was roughly as strong as a boss from a common Abyss Level Small Secret Realm.

But under Kong Feiliu’s magic staff, it could still only be slain instantly.

“Demon Monarch…”

Kong Feiliu waved his magic staff, muttering words under his breath.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head, seeing in the distance a figure exuding black aura, with several small shadows lingering around.

“Yuan Danqing?” Kong Feiliu frowned.

“Shall we join forces or not?” she spoke directly.

“Join forces for what? To kill Lin Ye? Qin Yi has already come to me with Lin Ye’s approximate location. Guess if I cared or not.” Kong Feiliu sneered.

He indeed didn’t want to die unidentified in this space.

But that didn’t mean he would actually attack Lin Ye!

Not out of reluctance, merely because he believed his fate shouldn’t be dictated by others’ life and death.

His fate should be controlled by himself!

“No… I want to kill Sikong Ming!” Yuan Danqing’s tone carried a strong intent to kill.

Kong Feiliu was startled…

“Just the two of us? What about Zong Muxue?” He was somewhat tempted.

After watching Lin Ye make big headlines every day, it would be a lie to say he didn’t feel a bit resentful.

If he could kill Sikong Ming, wouldn’t he be the most dazzling on the battlefield?

Additionally, if given time to stack his spell strength, he still had a little confidence…

Not to mention Yuan Danqing!

If they could add Zong Muxue…

The likelihood of success would certainly increase!

Given the Zong Family’s background, Kong Feiliu didn’t believe Zong Muxue would lack life-saving treasures!

“She said if you participate, she will too!” Yuan Danqing said.

Hearing this, Kong Feiliu pondered briefly before finally saying, “Alright, count me in!”

“Then come with me!”

Yuan Danqing turned and left decisively.

…

“Actually wanting to kill a Demon Monarch Level powerhouse…”

In the distance, Lin Ye peered into Kong Feiliu’s situation through the raven’s perspective.

At this moment on the battlefield, the three most likely to make a move against him were all under his surveillance.
