Chapter 1510: The Divine Emperor’s Speculation

“This…this…how could this be?”

The clergyman was instantly terrified, his hands and feet turning to jelly. Ferguson was second only to the Divine Emperor, the First Cardinal of the Divine Court. How could he have fallen just like that?

Just as he was wondering if the Holy Light Jade Tablet was malfunctioning, there was another crack, and Douglas’s Holy Light Jade Tablet also shattered into pieces.

“Uh…”

Both father and son were dead. Thinking of this, he no longer cared about anything else and scrambled towards the palace where the Divine Emperor resided.

“Your Majesty, Divine Emperor, something terrible has happened.”

Upon seeing Divine Emperor Adams, the clergyman was already pale with fright and in a state of panic.

“What’s wrong?”

Adams asked with a majestic expression.

“Your Majesty, Divine Emperor, just now, the Holy Light Jade Tablets of Cardinal Ferguson and Cardinal Douglas both shattered.”

“What? How is that possible?”

Even as the Divine Emperor, Adams was startled by the news. He stood up and hurried towards the side hall where the jade tablets were kept.

Upon arriving and seeing the positions of Ferguson and Douglas, his expression immediately turned grim.

For how many years had no Cardinal of the Divine Court fallen? Yet now, the First Cardinal had fallen.

Moreover, Ferguson was currently presiding over the Saintess Trial. Since he had fallen, didn't that mean the Saintess Trial was in trouble?

Concerned about his daughter’s safety, he could no longer remain calm. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Casillas’s number.

“Tell me, what exactly happened on Angel Mountain?”

Casillas was at a loss, but then he received a call from the Divine Emperor. Daring not to conceal anything, he quickly recounted the entire sequence of events from beginning to end.

Finally, he said, “Your Majesty, Divine Emperor, the Saintess Trial was inexplicably terminated, and Cardinal Ferguson and his son, for some unknown reason, suddenly disappeared. We still haven’t found them.”

“The Holy Light vanished, the Saintess Trial terminated?” Adams asked urgently, “What about them? How are Helena and the others? Are they in any danger?”

“No, they aren’t. All ten Saintess candidates are unharmed. It’s just that this trial cannot proceed.”

Hearing that his daughter was safe, the weight in Adams’s heart finally lifted. His mind became much calmer, and his brain regained its ability to think.

“Tell me again, what exactly happened on Angel Mountain? Were there any unusual phenomena?”

“Everything was perfectly normal before. Cardinal Ferguson took the Saintess candidates into Angel Mountain, and then there was no more movement. Later, the Holy Power suddenly disappeared, and the Cardinal could no longer be found.”

Casillas was still completely bewildered and could only answer truthfully.

Adams pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t look for Ferguson. He and Douglas have both fallen.”

“What? How is that possible?”

Although Casillas had searched all over Angel Mountain and hadn’t found Ferguson, he was still startled by the news.

One must know, this was the First Cardinal of the Divine Court, a powerhouse only one step away from the Emperor Realm. How could he have died so silently?

Could it be that the Vampire Queen had made a move? He then shook his head. Even if a powerhouse of the Divine Emperor’s level had acted, killing Ferguson was possible, but doing so without a sound was impossible.

Moreover, this was Angel Mountain, with endless Holy Light blessings. Ferguson, while on the mountain, was a powerhouse comparable to the Emperor Realm.

Not only was he confused, but even Adams couldn't figure it out.

He pondered for a moment and asked, “How is Angel City doing recently? Has there been any unusual activity in the Dark World?”

Casillas said, “No, everything is normal. We haven’t detected the appearance of any Dark powerhouses here at all.”

“Moreover, this is Angel Mountain. People from the Dark World would have their cultivation significantly weakened here. It’s impossible for them to appear casually.”

“And after Angel Mountain opens, there is a Holy Light barrier. Not to mention people from the Dark World, even we cannot enter, unless we have the Sacred Artifact, the Golden Cross, from the hands of a Cardinal.”

Adams frowned. It was true. From every angle, it didn’t seem like the work of someone from the Dark World.

But besides the Western Dark World, who else had the ability to kill Ferguson, who was blessed by Holy Power, and do it so silently? This made him rack his brains but he still couldn’t figure it out.

“Think again, recently, in Angel City or even the entire M Country, are there any other powerhouses present?”

Casillas thought hard for a moment, then affirmed, “No.”

“M Country was originally a place where the power of the Dark World was relatively weak, with only a Vampire Family and the Black Wizard Alliance.”

“However, the Black Wizard Alliance was completely crippled by Ye Bufan some time ago. They should not have the ability to attack now…”

“Wait a minute.”

He was in the middle of his analysis when he was suddenly interrupted by the Divine Emperor, “What did you say? The entire Black Wizard Alliance was defeated by Ye Bufan?”

“Yes, when we arrived at the Federal Capital some time ago, we just happened to encounter their great battle.”

“We originally intended to help, but by the time we got there, the battle had already ended. It is rumored that Chiravette, the leader of the Black Wizard Alliance, was defeated by him.”

Adams suddenly said, “Then do you think it’s possible that Ye Bufan did it?”

Casillas was startled by this idea: “That’s impossible, isn’t it? How could he be a match for Cardinal?”

“We used to think it was impossible, but if you think carefully, we have never fully seen through the strength of this Huaxia person.”

Adams said, “According to the information we currently have, he seems to have never suffered a loss since coming to M Country. First, he annihilated the Ghost Witch Sect, and now he has defeated the Black Wizard Alliance. His strength is much stronger than we anticipated, and we have no idea where his true limits lie.”

“In terms of strength, Ferguson and Chiravette are not too different. Our Divine Court has an advantage in attribute suppression, but for a Huaxia person, we have no such advantage.”

“That is to say, since Ye Bufan can defeat Chiravette, he can defeat Ferguson. Besides him, we truly cannot think of a second possibility in the entire M Country.”

Casillas thought for a moment, then said, “Your Majesty, Divine Emperor, what you say makes a lot of sense, but I still feel it’s unlikely.”

“Firstly, Ye Bufan should have no motive to do so. After all, our Divine Court has been on relatively good terms with him, and there is absolutely no reason for him to attack Cardinal Ferguson.”

“Secondly, after the Saintess Trial ceremony began, he returned to the hotel and was not near Angel Mountain. And even if he were here, he wouldn’t have the ability to enter.”

“Moreover, Guardiola and I have been guarding the foot of the mountain, and we haven’t seen anyone enter, nor have we found any trace of him.”

“Finally, even if his ability is strong, and even if Cardinal Ferguson is not his opponent, it is absolutely impossible for him to do it without a sound.”

Divine Emperor Adams nodded: “What you say also makes sense, but besides him, I can’t think of any other possibility for this matter. We still need to investigate thoroughly.”

Then his expression instantly turned cold: “No matter who opposes our Divine Court, they will ultimately suffer the wrath of God!”
