"Now, I have comprehended 20,000 martial arts. Although I haven't been officially promoted to the god-level realm, my strength is no less than that of some god-level masters."

"And the things in the sanctuary can still scare me. What the hell is that!"

After thinking for a moment, Fade Chen shook his head, let out a long sigh, and ran back.

Back at the hotel, Fade Chen washed up, and then received a call from the saint Selena.

"Fade Chen, are you okay? Are you injured? Is it serious?"

Fade Chen said: "Saint, don't worry, I am not injured, and I have returned to the hotel safely."

"No injury, that's great!" Selena on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again, "How about your Jerome battle? He hasn't returned to the church, and we can't get in touch He, now, the whole church is looking for him."

Fade Chen narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Does the saint want to hear the truth or lie?"

Selena was taken aback, and then said, "What's a lie?"

"The lie is that Jerome and I fought a battle, regardless of the outcome, and finally left separately. As for where he went, I don't know." Fade Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, Selena couldn't help being silent for a while, faintly, she had already guessed the result.

But she still asked, "What about the truth?"

Fade Chen's tone was heavy, and there was a sharp chill in his voice, "The truth is, Jerome was killed by me, and there is no bone left!"

"ah!"

Even though Selena had some guesses in her heart, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation at this moment.

Fade Chen said lightly: "I was frightened. This is the truth, how do you want to deal with it and report it to the higher-ups of the church?"

"I—" Selena hesitated.

Chen Fei said: "You are a saint, you should report this matter, you should do it, I can understand, I will not blame you. Besides, since I killed Jerome, I will do it Be prepared to suffer the consequences."

Selena seemed to have made a decision, and said, "I, I won't report it. Just pretend that I didn't make this call with you. I don't know anything."

"Are you really going to do this?" Fade Chen was a little surprised.

Selena said: "Jerome plotted against you and wanted to kill you. It's normal for you to resist killing, I can understand."

"Thank you for your understanding." Fade Chen softened his tone, "However, if you ask the higher-ups of the church, you don't have to hide it for me, just tell me."

"But, in this case, wouldn't you be in danger—" Selena said excitedly.

Fade Chen chuckled, and said: "This kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime. The murder of Jerome will be found out soon. And I am the one who fought Jerome in the end. , it couldn’t be easier to find me.”

"Well, what should I do? Or, let me talk to Princess Irene and ask her to intercede with Lord Holy Master for you, maybe there will be a turnaround." Selena said.

"It's enough for you to have this kind of intention. But don't worry about it, I'm not afraid if it finds out about me." Fade Chen said out loud.

After finishing the call, Fade Chen rested in the hotel room.

As for the death of Jerome in the Holy Church, although the news did not spread on a large scale, all the families and personnel at a certain level knew the news.

The majestic genius disciple of the holy hall was killed, which naturally aroused heated discussions.

The focus of heated discussions naturally included Fade Chen, the most suspicious murderer.

The Holy Church even sent someone to inquire about Fade Chen, but Fade Chen didn't know anything, and after that, no one came from the Holy Church.

On the other hand, the Walton family, during this time, has been sending people to follow Fade Chen, 24 hours a day, completely without sleep.

After all, for the Walton family, Fade Chen can be said to be a veritable disaster star.

First, the second son of the family, Renny Walton, was disturbed by Chen Fei and his dantian was abolished. Many years of martial arts cultivation were wasted, and he became a useless person.

Then, the eldest son of the family, Jerome Walton, the favorite of the church, the future hope of the Walton family. After the battle with Fade Chen, he disappeared and was very likely to be killed.

Such a situation brought the entire Walton family's resentment towards Fade Chen to its peak.

Many members of the Walton family clamored to kill Fade Chen and take revenge.

However, all of these were suppressed by Old Walton.

As a marquis, he knew that Chen Fei, who could kill Jerome, was not something his family could handle.

………

In this way, amidst discussions, doubts and resentment, Fade waited for the day of the Sword in the Stone ceremony.

This morning, Selena arrived in person early in the morning, picked up Fade Chen from the hotel, and then went to Princess Irene's manor. After meeting up, Fade Chen was dressed up again.

After having lunch in the manor, in the afternoon, the group took a car to the royal manor where the sword in the stone was located.

Two hours later, when we arrived at the manor, Fade Chen felt the aura of densely packed high-level warriors outside before he got out of the car.

It seems that as expected of a royal ceremony, this defensive force is really different.

After going through layers of strict inspections, Fade Chen and the others finally entered the manor.

The manor was very old and even looked a bit shabby, but everyone present was very respectful.

Because, according to legend, this is the castle where King Arthur once lived.

Fade Chen accompanied Selena and Irene for a stroll, listening to them introduce the royal relatives with some boredom.

Finally, in the evening, it was time for the ceremony.

The backyard of the manor, which had been sealed off before, was finally opened, and many royal nobles, with bright eyes, filed in.

The area of ​​the backyard is not too big, and it still retains the original dirt floor, and the scattered weeds of the surrounding elders look a bit messy.

But at this time, everyone who came in looked very serious and even respectful.

At this moment, their gazes were all focused on the square stone in the middle of the backyard.

A long sword was stuck on the stone half a meter high and nearly one meter long and wide.

The body of the sword was stained with dust, rust, and moss, and it looked quite worn out, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of reverence, which attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Is that the Sword in the Stone? Doesn't it look special?" Fade Chen was a little puzzled, and whispered.

Selina explained to Fade Chen in a low voice: "The sword in the stone looks ordinary, but it is said to have magical effects, which can enhance people's strength and make people submit. It is not the breath of true vitality, nor is it the strength of energy, it is a kind of You can’t tell what you don’t understand.”

"It's so mysterious!" Fade Chen said.

Selina said: "The Sword in the Stone is a legendary item, it's a bit mysterious, it's nothing more than normal."

"That's right!" Fade Chen nodded.

"What are you going to do next, go up and draw your sword?" Fade Chen felt a little bored and asked.

Selena gave Fade Chen a blank look, and said, "You'll know it when you look at it."
