Dawn left somewhat lost, returning to his own room. He was caught in a dead-end dilemma, unsure if he should rescue his mother. If saving her overturned the entire situation, would he then be a sinner, and would his mother be one too?

Camille watched the back view of the departing Holy Angel, a slight smile on her lips. Though the Holy Angel’s talent was formidable and his current power had reached the early stage of the Azure Sky Realm, he still had a long way to go in terms of mindset.

"By the time the Holy Angel figures it out, the Holy Spirit King’s army might have already slain the Bright Saintess!" Camille thought to herself with delight. As long as the Bright Saintess was dead, Camille was confident that she could mold the Holy Angel into a perfect leader.

Camille’s happy mood didn’t last long before she heard a piece of news that was both infuriating and terrifying: Dawn had disappeared!

Strictly speaking, Dawn left a letter and then disappeared.

"Leader Camille, you were right. I cannot let my concerns for my mother ruin the hope of the Angel Race. Otherwise, both my mother and I will be sinners to the race. So... I will go alone to rescue my mother. Rebuilding the Angel Race, I leave to you!"

Camille nearly crushed the letter in her hand, gritting her teeth: "This Dawn... how dare he... go alone to rescue the Bright Saintess? Doesn’t he value his life? Damn it, it’s truly damnable! What’s so special about the Bright Saintess that the Holy Angel values her so much!"

In her rage, Camille was like a raging lion, and the surrounding angels didn’t dare provoke her.

Camille took a deep breath: "What are we waiting for? Gather everyone, chase after the Holy Angel! If the Holy Angel dies, how will we resist the Holy Spirit King’s forces in the future?"

"Yes, leader!" At Camille’s words, the entire Angel Resistance Army sprang into action.

To be honest, Camille had no desire to rescue the Bright Saintess, but the Holy Angel’s determination to save her left her no choice; the Holy Angel was the last hope for all of the Angel Race.

"Bright Saintess, I was right. If you continue to live, the Holy Angel will sooner or later become your puppet! Our Angel Race cannot allow such a thing to happen; we need a supreme king, not a puppet!"

Meanwhile, surrounded by the Holy Spirit King’s army, the Bright Saintess and her trusted aides struggled to resist, suffering heavy casualties in no time.

The Bright Saintess continuously provided light healing to her wounded aides, but her power was limited, unable to promptly heal the injured warriors.

"Holy Mother, we can’t escape!" a mid-sky realm angel leader said gravely. "The enemy has at least someone at the later stage or even peak of the Azure Sky Realm holding fort; escaping would be next to impossible!"

The Bright Saintess’s expression turned grave. Facing such an impasse, she wasn’t too flustered: "How many warriors do we have left to fight? When can our reinforcements arrive?"

That angel commander had a bitter look on his face: "Holy Mother, we... have no reinforcements. The Holy Spirit King’s army has launched a full-scale attack on our Angel Resistance Army. Each of our bases is under attack, so..."

The Bright Saintess took a deep breath: "So we have no reinforcements?"

The angel commander nodded silently.

The Bright Saintess closed her eyes, Ling Feng’s face appeared in her mind. All the previous hardships and dire situations were borne by Ling Feng. In the past two years without him, the Bright Saintess realized that bearing this responsibility wasn’t easy!

"Ling Feng, if it were you, what decision would you make?" muttered the Bright Saintess to herself. "I don’t believe you’re dead, I really don’t! If I survived, so did you, with your intelligence and strength, you must have!"

"So, I must protect the hope you left behind; I won’t let this flame of hope extinguish in my hands!" the Bright Saintess said inwardly, "But... if possible, I so wish I could see you one more time before I die!"

With a loud boom, the outside echoed with another violent explosion, and several severely wounded warriors were brought in again.

"Did they attack again?" The Bright Saintess asked, "If they have enough strength to crush us, why don’t they just charge in instead of wearing us down? Could it be..."

In the Holy Spirit King’s army, a pinnacle Azure Sky Realm expert asked the same question: "General Tudiel, why don’t we just kill her, why bother with all this trouble?"

Tudiel let out a cold laugh: "Kill her? Do you know who she is?"

"Isn’t she said to be an important figure in the Angel Resistance Army?" the expert asked with some confusion, "Or is there some other special identity?"

"She is the person closest to the Holy Angel!" Tudiel said indifferently. "Although the Angel Resistance Army has tightly sealed this secret, my people have uncovered everything! Do you know how we found her? It was because Camille revealed everything to us!"

"How is that possible!" The expert was shocked: "Isn’t Camille the leader of the Angel Resistance Army? Why would she do such a thing?"

Tudiel replied indifferently: "Camille is an intensely ambitious person. How can she tolerate a second voice in the Angel Resistance Army she created? Although the Holy Angel is still young, if he grows up, no matter in strength or influence, he would easily replace Camille!"

"But Camille can’t do anything to the Holy Angel because he’s the biggest hope for the Angel Resistance Army! So she has only one way, and that’s to brainwash the Holy Angel, turning him into a puppet of her will!" Tudiel sneered. "But in this process, she had one formidable enemy, and that’s the one we’re encircling today!"

Gasp! The expert was wide-eyed: "So complicated? I didn’t expect that!"

"Wherever there are people, there’s intrigue and deception!" Tudiel sneered. "If we kill this person now, we are essentially aiding Camille. Do you think I would do such a thing?"

"Lord Tudiel, you have great foresight, far beyond my reach! However, since we’ve seen through Camille’s plot, why not release this person and reveal Camille’s conspiracy to her, letting them destroy each other?"
