"We haven't received notification allowing you to enter yet..."

At the entrance of the Southern Church, Lin Ye was stopped by a group of priests.

At this moment, each of these priests acted as if they were facing a great enemy, looking nervously at Lin Ye, afraid that this guy might just wipe them all out.

Of course, this was obviously just a strange persecution fantasy. Lin Ye had no intention whatsoever of making a move.

The Alliance members who followed him here also stood quietly behind Lin Ye, not resorting to any tough measures.

"So, is there a regulation prohibiting me from entering? I remember there being no time-related regulations during the Holy Prayer Meeting, right?" Lin Ye said very calmly.

In terms of understanding the various internal affairs and regulations of the Church, how could these junior priests in front of him possibly compare to Lin Ye, this old priest?

Otherwise, Lin Ye would not have delayed until now to come because the Church had never made any regulations in this regard.

From their perspective, it was indeed impossible for anyone to dare to be late. Moreover, given the Church's usual attitude towards rogue Holy Light Professionals as if they were stray dogs, if these priests really wanted to pick on you, they wouldn't need any regulation as a crutch; they could just find an excuse to expel you.

So regulations have no meaning whatsoever in the face of absolute power.

Lin Ye's words indeed caused these priests to look at each other in disbelief, with many of the younger priests looking towards the eldest among them.

The middle-aged man being watched by his colleagues simply said, "Please wait a little longer, we are also waiting for notification before we can enter; after all, someone is currently undergoing trials inside, we ask for your understanding."

Lin Ye laughed, still playing a deft hand at being noncommittal.

Obviously, this guy also knew that there was no such thing as being late since the Holy Prayer Meeting had never had time restrictions.

But given the current situation, he was also quite passive!

No matter what they did now, if something went wrong, they would certainly be the ones to take the blame, so they definitely had to wait for a clear answer from above before deciding what to do.

"Alright, then let's wait..." Lin Ye nodded. He was in no hurry, anyway.

And he also knew very well that those people inside the Holy Core would absolutely not refuse his arrival.

Lin Ye understood that the so-called Holy Prayer Meeting was nothing more than an event for Holy Light Professionals to plead with the Holy Core for benefits.

If those inside the Holy Core were in a good mood, they might reward you with something. But if they were in a bad mood or simply didn't like you, you were very likely to leave empty-handed.

Under such a system, idle Holy Light Professionals who manage to get good things from the Holy Core are few and far between.

Usually, only the Church's own people can get real benefits.

This is already pretty much predetermined.

In this regard, the old immortals inside the Holy Core, as long as they aren't completely irrational, will certainly give Lin Ye the absolute best.

After all, the Church is not short of these things, and these old immortals won't lack the perspective to provide them.

Because Lin Ye getting recognition from them is what truly holds the most value for the Church!

After all, even the de facto leader of the Holy Flame Sect must come for the Holy Core's approval, so who is in the dominant position needs no further explanation.

This is what holds the most importance for the Church and the Holy Core, and they cannot resist such temptation.

Bear in mind, the authority to interpret the Holy Light is the very foundation upon which the Church stakes its existence, and it is the lifeblood of the Church!

If they were to lose this authority and leadership, they would just be a bunch of imposters.

When those priests saw that Lin Ye was actually willing to wait, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn't afford to offend such a figure!

It's worth noting that the previous Archbishop of the Southern Church, Qin Lu, was hastily removed because he mishandled his relationship with Lin Ye.

And their positions as priests came at a high cost.

If they had a conflict with Lin Ye, it would be a minor issue to be reprimanded, but a major issue if they were dismissed!

They couldn't afford such a consequence.

But that doesn't mean they're in the clear because everything now depends on the decision from above.

If above granted permission, then everything would be fine. No matter what happened later, even if Lin Ye blew up the Church, it wouldn't be their concern.

But if above didn't allow Lin Ye to enter the Holy Prayer Meeting, then they were essentially about to be sacrificed...

Especially now as more and more bystanders gathered around, they felt the pressure spike to the limit.

"Isn't that Lin Ye? Why is he only coming now?"

"Is there a problem with coming now? The Church didn't say when you have to come..."

"Yes, I just saw someone else go in."

"So is the Church deliberately trying to make things difficult for Lin Ye now?"

The onlookers were now pointing and talking among themselves. After all, the hobby of watching drama and discussing people is proportionally far higher than any other in human crowds.

Facing this much pointing, the priests blocking Lin Ye couldn't help but feel tremendous pressure.

Especially Lin Ye, who kept giving them a mysterious smile, making them feel weak at heart.

They just felt like they were being roasted on a fire.

"What are you doing? Why are there so many people here!" At this moment, a shout came from the inside.

Several priests' expressions froze immediately, obviously very afraid of the newcomer.

A black-robed priest emerged from within the Church, his demeanor stern and his eyebrows sharp.

"Greetings, Steward!"

Several priests turned and saluted, their attitude particularly humble.

This black-robed priest was the current Steward of the Southern Church, the most capable assistant to Archbishop Liang Jintian.

"What happened?" He came over, glancing at Lin Ye before looking back at the priests to inquire.

"Steward, it's Mr. Lin Ye here, but since it's so late, we couldn't decide whether to let him in." The middle-aged priest immediately explained.

"Who it is doesn't matter; as long as they are sincerely here to participate in the Holy Prayer Meeting, they should have the opportunity. As the Meeting is not yet over, let them in quickly!" The Steward said with hands behind his back, seemingly uninterested in Lin Ye's identity.

With this, the huge burden in the hearts of the priests finally dropped, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, above had no intention of roasting them alive.
