"You...!"

Smith’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the "Jesus’ Palm" worn by the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, his blood surging to his face.

His body just swayed slightly.

Wu Zhao snorted coldly, "What, are you planning to start a war?"

"Damn! This is the Holy Object of our Church!"

Smith stood up abruptly, and simultaneously, Watty, also a Tier Nine of the Church, stood up.

In an instant, Yan Motong, Gao Ya, and Wu Zhao blocked in front of Shen Fei, their eyes cold.

In a flash.

The entire conference room was filled with tension, as if swords were drawn. Dugu Hongchen and Fang Lingyun exchanged a glance, squinting their eyes slightly.

They also stepped forward to stand in front of Shen Fei, facing off against Smith.

"Everyone, calm down, calm down." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At this moment, three people walked into the conference room with strides like dragons and tigers, the leading person speaking.

"General Steve, it’s not us who are not calm right now."

Gao Ya said calmly.

"Bishop Smith, calm down a bit." Steve, the leading one, had a much colder voice.

They were only near Europe, but they were inherently at odds with the Church.

After all, they internally had a religious ideological opposition with the Church.

The Church had already broken the unspoken rule last time.

This time, Fur Bear had already planned to kick the Church out, but Europe and America said it was a predetermined thing.

The Hand of God is the Hand of God.

There is no connection between the two; if Fur Bear does not let the Church come, then America and Europe will not come either.

"Mr. Pierre. Previously, you guaranteed the stability of the Church in this action."

Steve looked towards America’s representative, the middle-aged white man who had spoken before.

Pierre spoke up, "Bishop Smith, we are guests here in Fur Bear, and the host has spoken."

Smith looked at the five people of Gao Ya, clenching his fists as he looked at Shen Fei, "The Ice Abyss is extremely dangerous, so don’t blame me for not warning you if you die in there."

"Bishop Smith should also be cautious; if you’re not careful, you might end up embracing your God and won’t be able to serve your Pope, that old woman."

"How dare you insult the Pope!"

Smith roared lowly, as Shen Fei referred to the Pope as bullshit and an old woman.

Steve smiled wryly, "You two, can’t we just have Shen Fei... well, calm down a bit?"

"Shen Fei is the Walking with a Sword of the Breaking Abyss Army and the Commander-in-Chief of this Wu Xia operation.

His actions represent the will of Wu Xia, and after the last incident, the relationship between Wu Xia and the Church has already changed to ’hostile.’

Gao Ya’s voice turned cold, different from before, "This Smith is threatening our Walking with a Sword with his words.

The Church has already violated the UN agreement last time, and the UN agreement clearly states.

All forces on Blue Star, when collectively initiating Abyss exploration actions, must adhere to the non-aggression pact."

"Are you planning to abolish all past UN treaties?"

"If that’s the case, we’ll also ignore things over at Tianshan..."

"Wait a minute."

Steve quickly said, "No, definitely not! Confucian Emperor, calm down."

The others also raised their eyebrows, wondering what they heard; Shen Fei had actually become the Walking with a Sword?

They naturally knew what Walking with a Sword meant; the previous one in Wu Xia had already looked down on them from Tier Ten.

In a moment.

"Bishop Smith, I think we should focus on the Ice Abyss and Ancient Secret Realm first."

Pierre’s voice broke the tension at the scene, and Smith could only sit down with a flushed face.

Shen Fei just gave a cold laugh, "No wonder there are so many strong people on Blue Star, yet things are like this.

Truly with insects like you, it’s no wonder Blue Star is not doing well."

After Shen Fei finished speaking, he also sat in Wu Xia’s designated seat, while Gao Ya and the others took their seats too.

Smith and Watty just glared at Shen Fei with grim faces, wishing to chew him up and swallow him whole.

Shen Fei paid no attention to the numerous glances directed at him.

He simply returned the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable to the Summoning Space and gave Smith a slight smile.

But his smile was the ultimate provocation in Smith’s eyes.

’He must be killed!!’

A moment later.

Shen Fei listened to Steve’s briefing on the distribution for this operation, and realized that when the base city was built,

it included the Awakening Stone Fragment and a large amount of purified Abyss Core.

With something like the existence of the Professional Union also in place, the city could be maintained.

If it was a new Abyss entrance, it would be about establishing Zhenyuan City, essentially the same.

Only the Ice Abyss now occupied what was once Siberia.

Although still on Blue Star, essentially, all of Siberia was now Abyss territory.

It’s almost indistinguishable from the surface of a new Abyss.

Thus, the task this time also involved city-building and gradual advancement.

"Building a city is the only way to reclaim lost land. No wonder such a large team is required."

Shen Fei estimated that Fur Bear was leading this time, but it likely came at a cost significant enough to persuade the other four countries to do such a thing.

More specific discussions were led by Gao Ya, occasionally consulting with Dugu Hongchen.

Fang Lingyun and Wu Zhao occasionally chatted.

Despite different stances, both were Tier Nine of Wu Xia and had met many times.

Gao Ya continually sought Shen Fei’s opinions, especially regarding the direction for team travel, ultimately leaving the final decision to Shen Fei.

It made the other Tier Nine understand that Shen Fei’s position as Commander-in-Chief was not just for show, as Gao Ya seriously considered Shen Fei’s opinions.

Two hours later.

The basic matters seemed to have been settled, as many were previously agreed upon by consensus.

But Shen Fei noticed that the discussions were mainly about the Ice Abyss, and no one mentioned the Battle of Zhulu Secret Realm inside.

The implication was that it all depended on one’s skills.

Until leaving the conference room, Smith and Watty cast a cold smile at Shen Fei.

But before parting, Dugu Hongchen offered a word of advice to Shen Fei, "Lord Walking, be mindful of the Church’s people in the Abyss."

"Don’t worry, Senior Hongchen, I won’t be the one to die no matter who does."

Shen Fei nodded with a smile, and if it weren’t for their enemy relationship with the Heavenly Pride Club,

it would have seemed that the two had a good relationship.

Yan Motong also went to arrange matters concerning the school, leaving only Shen Fei, Gao Ya, and Wu Zhao.

Gao Ya then expressed concern, "Walking, the Church will definitely seize this opportunity to take action.

And this counts as a prolonged battle; if they get the chance, they will use any means to keep you here."

"And with you provoking them like this, the Church probably won’t wait for the Ancient Secret Realm to appear before making a move on you.

As long as they seize the opportunity."

Shen Fei nodded, "I’m aware; no need to worry, I have my methods."

"As long as it’s not all the Tier Nines surrounding me, I still have some confidence."

Shen Fei laughed.

The time he instantly killed a Celestial Corpse let him understand how powerful the ’Cross Binding’ combined with the True Martial Prince and Empress’s [One Thought, a Flower Blooms] was.

If a team really came to kill him, they would consider the death of a Tier Nine first.

"If the Church dares to come, they should be prepared to lose a Tier Nine."

"Moreover, the more I act like this, the more they’ll suspect my master left me with some trump card, making them more cautious."

Gao Ya nodded, "That’s true."

"As long as it’s not Tier Nines, honestly, no matter how many come, they’ll die."
