Chapter 351: 351
Chapter 351: Expanding: Part 1
A few days later, Cainphas’ injuries saw a reversal as his wounds started to heal .
But he did not immediately approve the Holy Sanctum’s request to study the weaponry, so Lin Sheng was not able to disguise himself as a normal Holy Sanctum member to pick the weapons from the school’s arsenal .
The official reason was just to let someone rest inside the arsenal for a few days without taking out any of the weapons . Apparently it was for a high-level Holy Sanctum member that was a weapon nut .
But no one would buy that reasoning .
Cainphas knew the dark power weaponry inside the arsenals is extremely destructive, and if it does get smuggled out, large casualties would be inevitable . So he did not believe the Holy Sanctum’s motives were pure .
So he delayed and delayed .
But the effect of the holy power was greater than he had imagined .
Not too long later, Lin Sheng had gotten news from Margaret as accepted new Darksiders who had joined the Holy Sanctum .
The lady did not went home and instead roamed around the nearby cities as she secretly recruited potential members to join the Holy Sanctum .
The Holy Sanctum’s training of one’s holy power greatly stimulates the dark power and as the two co-exist, they could see multiple-fold increase to their powers after training .
And for the Darksiders among the civilians, this was unimaginable, so any Darksider who had the opportunity to come over had gladly joined .
And time soon passed .
Very quickly, it was the time for the first Holy Sanctum congregation for the imparting of the Ashen Seal .

Madillan, Margaret, even Melissa and a few other Darksiders from other places all came to the congregation as everyone put down whatever they were doing and headed to the point .
The meeting point of the temporary Holy Sanctum was inside one of Madillan’s private estate chosen by Lin Sheng .
The estate was outside the city, and had a wide underground basement .
7 December, noon, weather clear . Cloudless .
Inside the hall of Blackplum manor .
Crimson-armor warriors stood in line on both sides, and these normal soldiers, while low level transcendents had impeccable discipline, and that left an impression with the guests .
There were at least twenty odd people in the hall at a glance, and the weakest of the lot were at least two-wing level .
“This is Miga, powerful, complicated, yet free . ”
Lin Sheng stood together with Margaret, Madillan and Cainphas together inside a room with a one-way mirror on the second floor as they looked down at the boisterous scene below .
“There’s not much freedom to speak of . ” Margaret shook her head . “Many of the freemen are being pressured by Carta Blache, and they are almost an extinct breed now . ”
“Being able to get to this level by self-study is already very commendable . ” Madillan smiled .
“That aside, the Holy Sanctum and Baine have mutual interests, and in this respect I hope that the Holy Sanctum could openly cooperate with us to suppress the spread of the Blacktide . ” Cainphas had made good recovery as the holy power within his body had clearly broken through level three .

The moment he brought up the Blacktide, he could not help but to look at Lin Sheng .
Lin Sheng was clad in his white armor as he wore a green crystal mask . His frame was large and continuously releasing powerful holy aura .
“Suppressing the Blacktide is our calling, but our manpower in the Migan Holy Sanctum is just too low . We need to take in a few more people and that will increase the conversion through training and to stimulate mutual growth . That will allow the holy power to complete its initial accumulation . ” Lin Sheng said calmly . His voice had been distorted using a voice distortion technique to hide his original voice .
He did not wish to have his true identity seen Cainphas, the wily old fox . He was not afraid of being discovered, but he was allergic to potential problems .
“The Sevenlocks Tower’s raid had damaged the seal in parts of the city and the academy, unleashing a large amount of Blactide aura . We need to quickly suppress that . ” Cainphas rumbled .
“There’s such a thing?”
“Forget it . Let’s see how it goes then . ” Cainphas suddenly sighed, and said nothing else .
After the wily old dean stopped talking, Margaret went up to speak to Lin Sheng to report what she had accomplished after she left .
Recruitment, investigation, formulating the development plans for the Holy Sanctum and paying people to spread rumors about the holy light being the only thing that is able to combat the Blacktide .
The moment he heard Margaret’s report, he felt that she was much more suited than him to run the sanctum .
“If nothing goes wrong, we will officially set up a branch here . ” Lin Sheng gave Margaret a special assurance . “When that happens you’ll come over here to run the daily operations . ”
“I’ll do my best!” Margaret nodded .

She was not born out of a small family, rather she was one of Olro’s main noble family . With her established familial background, she had learnt a lot of things since young, so she had a good grasp on how to run things .
And after making contact with the Holy Sanctum, she quickly realized what sort of hidden potential this organization had .
After a short conversion later, all of the new Holy Sanctum recruits had arrived .
There was a total of 28 Darksiders .
This was a terrifying number, as Darksiders were different from the common folk .
After joining the Holy Sanctum and started training, the growth from the mutual stimulation of dark and holy powers was much more exponential .
And that is to say, the 28 person here would greatly surpass their peers in the future not too far away as they build up their own careers .
Once all had arrived, the crimson armor warriors closed the door and started taking attendance . The Holy Sanctum was not some cult, rather it was a secretive sect, so they had a membership list .
While their attendance were being taken, the crowd too started measuring their fellow attendees . Perhaps not long later, they will be able to form a mutually-beneficial grouping . The Holy Sanctum had provided them the network, stronger abilities and also faith .
So Lin Sheng gave them a little bit of time to themselves .
About half an hour later, he slowly got up and walked towards the barricade on the second floor and down to the most eye-catching spot on the first floor .
There was a small microphone being set up there .
Lin Sheng stood before the microphone as his gaze swept past the crowd as he waited for them to quiet down .
The cacophony of chatter soon gave way to silence as all of the Darksiders here today knew why they had all gathered at this place .
The Ashen Seal .
This was the first thing the Holy Sanctum had informed everyone . This was something that would allow them to gain powerful abilities aside from the dark powers, and to also increase the rate of training of one’s holy power .
Besides, everyone present were curious as well . Perhaps this man in white armor was the manager of the Holy Sanctum here?
What would he be saying? The Holy Sanctum is definitely not a charity that gives and does not take, so when they were all called here, they had made preparations for the price they need to pay .
Lin Sheng smiled slightly beneath the mask as he stood before the microphone and spoke .
“I’m very glad to be able to stand here today, and talk to everyone about the problem of the Blacktide . ”
“I am Taros Seagal, an orphan saved from the hollows of poverty by the Holy Sanctum . ” He started to wax lyrical .
