Chapter 1534: The Divine Emperor’s Conditions

The moment Adams spoke, everyone in the Divine Court was startled. Many of them knew about Ferguson's death, but they never thought it was related to this Young man.

Helena quickly cried out, "Impossible! The Cardinal's death has nothing to do with Ye Dage."

Adams said with a stern expression, "Step back. You have no right to speak here."

Helena immediately pouted in displeasure and was about to say something, but Ye Bufan stopped her with a wave of his hand.

Finally, he looked at Adams and smiled slightly, "Lord God-Emperor seems very certain that I killed him?"

"To be honest, I had some doubts before, but after Casillas's investigation, I dismissed that idea.

But just now, I changed my mind again. You can even kill the Vampire Queen, let alone a Cardinal. That means you are fully capable of silently killing Ferguson.

And looking at the entire Western world, you are the only one who can do this."

Ye Bufan's expression remained calm, "It seems a bit inappropriate to convict someone based solely on speculation."

Adams said, "That's right, these are just inferences. However, there's one substantial thing you can't hide: when you killed Valentina just now, you used our Divine Court's Holy Light. How do you explain that?

The sudden disappearance of Holy Light from Angel Mountain and the abrupt end of the Saintess Trial—is all of this related to you?"

"This…"

Ye Bufan couldn't help but frown slightly. If he hadn't used Holy Light just now, he wouldn't have been able to kill Valentina. Once this power is used, it's impossible to deny it. In the entire world, only the Divine Court can use Holy Light.

However, this was not a big deal. The reason he had hidden it before was to avoid trouble, but now that trouble had come knocking, there was no need to hide anymore.

"You're right, I did kill Ferguson."

The moment Ye Bufan said this, everyone present was stunned.

One must know that he was the Divine Court's First Cardinal, especially in a place like Angel Mountain, where he possessed almost the strength of the Emperor Realm. Yet, he was killed by this Young man, and it seemed quite effortless. Had the opponent already become so strong?

Helena, Sophie, and others were even more surprised; they hadn't expected it was truly Ye Bufan who had killed him.

The most affected was Casillas. He had personally investigated that day and ultimately cleared the opponent of suspicion, but he hadn't expected his own misjudgment.

Adams said coldly, "You even dared to kill our Divine Court's Cardinal. Aren't you afraid of the Lord God's punishment?"

Ye Bufan smiled and shook his head, completely disregarding the expressions of others.

"I am who I am. If someone wants to kill me, I will naturally kill them. Don't say it's just a Cardinal; even your Lord God cannot do anything."

"How dare you! You killed our Divine Court's Cardinal and still dare to disrespect the Lord God. Today, you must die!"

Adams's words were filled with murderous intent.

"I did kill Ferguson, but he deserved to die," Ye Bufan said. "That Old thing painstakingly tried to snatch the medicinal formula from my hands and wanted to kill me to silence me. Such a person, I naturally should kill him."

"Nonsense! Cardinal Ferguson was highly respected. How could he do such a thing? You're clearly just making excuses for yourself."

Adams said with a stern expression, "No matter what, you killed my Divine Court's Cardinal, and you must accept the Lord God's punishment."

Ye Bufan said indifferently, "I've already made things clear. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"Lord God-Emperor, you must believe Ye Dage."

After the shock, Helena quickly stepped forward to plead for Ye Bufan, "Although Ye Dage killed Ferguson, it was for a reason.

Moreover, he previously helped Sophie and me become Cardinals, so his merits and demerits can cancel each other out…"

"Alright then, seeing as you killed Valentina and contributed to our Divine Court,

I'll give you a chance."

Adams's expression softened considerably as he looked at Ye Bufan and said, "Now, submit to my Divine Court, swear allegiance, and hand over the secret of Holy Light.

Not only can I let bygones be bygones, but I can also marry Helena to you."

Helena immediately looked at Ye Bufan with anticipation, hoping he would agree immediately.

The other people in the Divine Court also looked over. In their opinion, this was an incredibly great opportunity, and this Young man had no reason to refuse.

Especially Casillas and other informed individuals, although Helena's identity had not yet been announced, she was the Divine Court's princess, Adams's daughter.

Marrying Helena would be a step to the heavens, directly becoming the Divine Court's consort.

Such a heaven-sent opportunity, as long as one's mind was sound, would surely not be refused.

Meanwhile, the Blood Clan immediately became anxious. At this moment, they had fully realized the formidable nature of this Young man.

Most importantly, Situ Dianmo followed his lead in everything. If he submitted to the Divine Court, their ultimate fate was imaginable.

At this moment, whether it was the Blood Clan or the Divine Court, everyone's gaze fell upon Ye Bufan, and to everyone's surprise, he simply shook his head.

"I am a Huaxia person. I don't believe in your so-called god, and I don't want to join the Divine Court."

"This…"

Everyone showed surprised expressions. They hadn't expected this Young man to refuse; he actually rejected an opportunity that countless people dreamed of.

Adams also frowned, clearly somewhat surprised by this outcome.

He said again, "You don't have to join, but as long as you hand over the secret of Holy Light, my conditions just now are still valid."

Ye Bufan chuckled, "I'm afraid that's your real purpose, isn't it?"

For so many years, the Divine Court could only use Holy Light but not store it. The God-Emperor in front of him saw that he could absorb the Holy Light from Angel Mountain into his body and use it flexibly. It would be strange if he wasn't greedy.

Adams's expression changed slightly. This was indeed what he had in mind. Just now, when he saw Ye Bufan use Holy Light to kill Valentina, an uncontrollable desire had already risen in his heart to understand everything.

Since his purpose had been exposed, he no longer hid it and said grandly, "As a child of God, it is my duty to clarify the matter of Holy Light."

Ye Bufan's face showed a hint of playfulness, "That sounds really good. Since you're a child of God, why don't you just ask God directly? Why do you need to ask me?"

Being rejected repeatedly by the other party, Adams's expression instantly turned cold.

"Ye Bufan, do you know what you're doing? If you remain so stubborn, you can only accept God's punishment."

"If you want to punish me, you'll need to have the strength."

Although the opponent was an Emperor Realm expert, Ye Bufan also had his trump cards, and there was no fear in his expression.

"In that case, accept the punishment."

Adams was furious. In his opinion, if he didn't show the other party some color, his goal would simply not be achieved.

He pushed Helena, who was trying to stop him, away and directly launched an attack.

"Great Prophecy Technique, Imprisonment!"

When his cultivation reached this level, he had already reached the Realm of forming a formation with a single thought. There was no need for incantations. After a loud shout, Holy Light descended from the sky, transforming into a pillar of light that enveloped Ye Bufan.
