Chapter 31 Fear of Death
The reason why the Temple of Light has grown to its current size in just over a hundred years is not only due to the deliberate indulgence of His Majesty Ceres of the Frost and Snow Empire, but also related to the foundation on which it was built.

As long as one finds a woman with this pure soul, one can go to the Temple of Light and sacrifice this woman with the pure soul, so that the sacrificer can receive the reward from the God of Light and directly improve his strength.

Now all the upper-class figures in the Temple of Light have become members of the Temple of Light through such means.

Locke was even certain that, in addition to the upper echelons of the Temple of Light, there were also many people in the Frost and Snow Empire who were looking for women with pure souls.

The main reason why these people are still standing on the side of the Frost and Snow Empire is that they have not yet found a woman with a pure soul, or rather, they have found one, but the number is not large.

One or two girls with pure souls are not enough to ensure their 100% advancement to the Holy Land.

Once they have a 100% chance of being promoted to the Holy Domain, perhaps in the next second, they will announce their separation from the Frost and Snow Empire and become the new high-level officials of the Holy Domain of the Temple of Light.

Don't try to overestimate the bottom line of human beings in this world.

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, powerful strength and eternal life are what almost all human beings pursue.

When someone suggests that such a dream can be achieved by sacrificing two or more special humans, the "evil" of this world becomes outrageously cruel.

The knight commander who was seriously injured by Locke was not very talented.

In Locke's opinion, it might be difficult for such a person to even become a level seven strong man.

After all, Locke didn't find much evidence of hard work in this guy's practice.

Obviously, this guy was able to achieve the sanctuary by sacrificing at least three pure souls.

Locke would not waste his compassion on such a person.

"Very good, it seems you are recovering well."

"It's worth it that I used a recovery magic on you."

Although this guy hung his head and closed his eyes, Locke's mental power had already detected his mental fluctuations.

"Humph!"

Seeing that his disguise had failed, the Knight Commander raised his head and looked at Locke, with a look of fear in his eyes.

It’s not like the man had never seen other powerful saints in the Temple of Light.

However, in the man's opinion, in the holy land of the Temple of Light, after His Majesty the Pope, perhaps only the Son of God of the Temple of Light can be comparable to the guy in front of him.

Can a forbidden spell of that strength really be released by a strong person in the Holy Land?

As a newly promoted Saint, this man obviously didn't know that the cultivation of Saints was completely different from what it was before.

Before entering the Holy Land, one must cultivate fighting spirit and magic power. As long as these two have reached a certain level, one can complete the level upgrade.

After reaching the Holy Land, although cultivating fighting spirit and magic power can also increase one's strength, if one wants to embark on a stronger path, one must comprehend the mysteries of the laws.

Judging from the strength of fighting spirit alone, the peak of the Holy Domain is the limit.

Only by comprehending the mysteries of the laws can one break through the peak of the Holy Domain, reach the limit of the Holy Domain, and even surpass the limit of the Holy Domain and ascend to the Divine Domain.

"You bastard, kill me if you can!"

"I will not reveal any secrets of the Temple of Light."

"Oh?"

There was a hint of teasing at the corner of Locke's mouth. How afraid of death is this guy?
He said that he had the ability to kill him, but what he revealed was that he knew the secret of the Temple of Light.

If Locke wants to know the secret of the Temple of Light from him, he cannot kill him.

Sitting in his seat, Locke raised one foot and said calmly, "My Lord Knight Commander of the Temple of Light, I think you may have some misunderstanding about me."

"I have no interest in the secrets of the so-called Temple of Light that you mentioned."

"So, you don't have to be so nervous. I won't force you to ask anything."

Hearing Locke's words, the Knight Commander's pupils suddenly shrank and a trace of fear rose in his heart.

If what this guy said was true, and he had no interest in the secrets of the Temple of Light, does that mean that in his eyes, I have no value at all and can be killed at any time?

He had finally gathered three girls with pure souls in his territory, and directly became a strong man in the Holy Domain from a sixth-level warrior. He killed the members of his family who looked down on him and became the master of the family.

Moreover, more than 20 years ago, he successfully cooperated with High Priest Anderson to launch a sneak attack and kill the Sanctuary Magician of the Frost and Snow Empire before he could release defensive magic, and he also received a large amount of rewards.

Perhaps the Sanctuary Magician of the Fifth Legion of the Frost and Snow Empire would never have imagined that when High Priest Anderson fought with him before, he did not wait for him to release defensive magic before launching his attack.

It was because he habitually released defensive magic in every battle, which prevented Anderson and the Knight Commander from finding opportunities to launch a sneak attack.

And when he got used to using defensive magic and High Priest Anderson would not start attacking, one of his feet had already stepped into the world of the dead.

The Knight Commander of the Temple of Light thought back to his entire life. He had only been a Saint for less than thirty years, and there was still an endless amount of life to enjoy in the future...

How could I be willing to die here?
Just when the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light wanted to say something, Locke's next words put him at ease temporarily.

"As for your injuries, I'm very sorry. I left the barracks some time ago, so I didn't continue to treat you."

"Let's just make up for it for now."

Locke waved his hand, and a blue light appeared on the body of the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light.

"hiss……"

Under the treatment of this blue light, the complexion of the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light instantly improved a lot.

Three minutes later, the light on the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light dissipated, and now the wounds on his body have almost completely healed.

The bones in his body showed no signs of healing.

However, this also made the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light feel at ease.

Obviously, the guy in front of him didn't want him to die.

As long as you are alive, you have the opportunity to enjoy a more and better life.

After all, he is a powerful saint with an infinite lifespan!

After sensing that this guy's breath had stabilized a bit, Locke nodded slightly.

I will still need this guy's help with some of the things I'm going to do next.

We can't let him die so easily...
