Even if I can’t touch Suo Lun, I will ruin his beloved woman. Moreover, once it truly involves demon energy, Suo Lun, even as the so-called reincarnated one, will undoubtedly die.
Of course, the breathtaking beauty, Yan Nai’er, is meant for Zhi Li.
This was a deal that the two had already agreed upon.
"Master Fang, we’re approaching the borders of Tianshui City Territory. Shall we send someone forward to announce our arrival?" a Holy Temple samurai stepped forward and asked.
"No need. Just charge in and capture Yan Nai’er," Fang Qingshu commanded.
Then, with an order from Fang Qingshu, they were about to break into Tianshui City Territory.
At that moment, a griffin appeared in the sky behind them, with a priest from the Zhen Du Divine Dragon Temple riding on it.
"Fang Qingshu, stop immediately. You are not to enter the Tianshui City Territory," the priest on the griffin ordered.
Fang Qingshu and his men were taken aback.
Griffin beasts were extremely rare, and Zhen Du Divine Dragon Temple only had a few.
What kind of important matter could it be, to send a priest to deliver the command?
It was known that Zhen Du Divine Dragon Temple had only one Grand Priest, four high-level priests, and sixteen priests.
The griffin landed, and the priest did not dismount.
Fang Qingshu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "So it is Priest Datan himself. May I ask what the matter is that requires your personal presence?"
Priest Datan said, "There is a divine command. Fang Qingshu and all judges are to return to Zhi Du immediately. You are not allowed to enter Tianshui City Territory, nor are you allowed to capture the target, Yan Nai’er."
Fang Qingshu was shocked and said, "But the one we are going to capture is someone with Anti-Dragon beliefs and Anti-Dragon Power, a wielder of demon energy. This is a matter of great importance. Please forgive me for I cannot comply."
Priest Datan said, "This is an order from the Grand Priest himself."
Then, he took out a Dragon Holy Token, which had seven golden dragons engraved on it.
The Seven Dragon Holy Token, of which there was only one in the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, represented the highest authority of the Divine Dragon Temple in the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, representing the Grand Priest.
Fang Qingshu was stunned and said, "The mission to capture the wielder of demon energy also had the Grand Priest’s personal approval. Why am I now being recalled? What is the reason?"
Priest Datan said coldly, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."
Fang Qingshu said, "This is a wielder of demon energy. If we let them go, it will be a great sin. What’s the reason?"
Priest Datan said, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."
Fang Qingshu’s expression turned cold, and he said, "Without a sufficient reason, I can only say that some commands from the ruler may not be applicable when his subject is abroad."
At this moment, Fang Qingshu fully displayed the arrogance and high-handedness of the young master from Yin Zhou, planning to defy the command from the highest leader of the Divine Dragon Temple of the Rage Wave Kingdom.
Priest Datan said, "At my level, I am not qualified to answer your question. Even the Grand Priest cannot answer your question because he does not know why!"
Fang Qingshu was utterly shocked and trembled.
Did this mean that this command was not given by the Grand Priest, but by... the Sky Priest?
One of the highest leaders of the Divine Dragon Temples around the world?
What in the world could it be?
Forget one Yan Nai’er; even a hundred Yan Nai’ers coupled with a hundred Suo Luns wouldn’t warrant a Sky Priest personally issuing a pardon. What could be the reason?
A Sky Priest doesn’t involve themselves in any matters unless it concerns the survival of the Divine Dragon Temple or the entire Human Kingdom.
Priest Datan said, "Please return to Zhi Du immediately, and you must not disclose this capture operation to anyone. Let no one know about it, as if it never occurred. Do you understand?"
Fangs Qing’s heart trembled, and he bowed, "Yes!"
With his influence in Yin Zhou, he would not be too fearful of a Grand Priest.
But the Sky Priest, a leader of the Divine Dragon Temples around the world, even his father could not resist.
He vaguely sensed that something momentous had happened; otherwise, the Sky Priest would not have come to the Rage Wave Kingdom!
