"Haha, old man’s back again, Divine Temple, you’ve kept us locked up for so many years, today let’s settle our grudges," said Liu Jilin, hands on his hips, astride Qingluan, addressing the crowd below.
Qingluan circled above the altar before flying behind Dugu Qianye. While they were hovering over the altar, Liu Jilin threw sothing that landed on the White Jade Stone, splashing droplets of blood. While the others had no idea, Lei Fengqi recognized it was Little One, Little Two, Little Three, and Little Four.
"A gift for you all, hope you fancy it," Liu Jilin laughed out loud. "Since no one’s looking after your Wuyou Island now, we took the liberty of burning it down for you."
The faces of Shen Xingzong grew darker as they glared at Dugu Qianye, wishing they could tear her to shreds. If she hadn’t gone to Wuyou Island, how could their people have escaped? But they had forgotten that they were the ones who had locked her up.
"Boom—" The gates of Holy Sea City burst open, and a swarm of people in black clothes rushed towards the altar. They saluted the altar and said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master, Third Pavilion Master. All of Secret Pavilion have now assembled."
The people of the Divine Temple were stunned by this scene. mbers of the Secret Pavilion at the altar?! The Divine Temple Authority Center’s personnel were supposed to be there, yet Secret Pavilion mbers had infiltrated!
"Haha, good, all have arrived," Fen Jian, holding Shen Wanqing, flew in front of the people in black, handed Shen Wanqing over to soone below, and said, "Take good care of her."
"Fen Jian, you’re actually a mber of the Secret Pavilion?!" Lei Bin exclaid in surprise.
"Haha, indeed," Fen Jian laughed loudly as he ripped off the white robe outside, revealing the black clothes underneath.
"I’m saying, Qie Yue, you wear two coats, doesn’t that bother you?" Dugu Qianye teased.
"Qie Yue? The Third Pavilion Master of the Secret Pavilion!" soone on the altar exclaid.
"Never would have guessed that the Young Hall Master of the Wind Temple is actually the Secret Pavilion’s Third Pavilion Master!"
By now, Shen Xingzong had cald down, looking at Qie Yue, he said, "The Divine Temple has treated you well. I never thought you would betray and your master."
"Don’t make it sound as if you’ve been imnsely gracious to . Do I not know what the Divine Temple has done over the years? Old man Feng never really considered as a disciple, he hasn’t imparted anything to all these years! When he was helping you plan this grand sacrifice, thinking of using as a sacrifice, he didn’t think of as his disciple, huh," Fen Jian, also known as Qie Yue, said. "Oh right, let remind the rest of you too, you’re standing on the altar now, and soon you’ll also be food for Huagui. Except for Shen Xingzong and a few Hall Masters, the rest of you are just pawns in their plan."
Hearing Qie Yue’s words, the people on the third layer of the altar were alard. Did Qie Yue an they would be abandoned too? They looked towards Shen Xingzong and the Divine Master, but neither of them responded to them.
Shen Xingzong looked at Qie Yue and said indifferently, "You’re the Third Pavilion Master, then who is your Pavilion Master?"
It was only after Shen Xingzong’s reminder that everyone rembered the earlier reference to the Pavilion Master, Third Pavilion Master. They had been so shocked by the revelation that Fen Jian was Qie Yue that they had overlooked the ntion of the Pavilion Master.
"Haha, you want to know who our Pavilion Master is? Alright then," Qie Yue smirked devilishly, "They’ve already called you, why aren’t you coming out? Don’t let people say our Secret Pavilion puts on airs; co on down, you bastard!"
"Pfft—" Everyone was amused by Qie Yue’s words, not expecting the normally gentle Young Hall Master of the Wind Temple to be like this.
"Ah, the Pavilion Master of the Secret Pavilion is actually in the Divine Temple. Haha, your Divine Temple is really rubbish, letting the enemy right into your stronghold," Liu Jilin laughed boisterously from the back of Qingluan.
Although they had been detained on Wuyou Island for so many years and were out of touch with the outside forces, they were sharp enough to grasp the situation quickly, and they began mocking the Divine Temple.
Dugu Qianye was also slightly taken aback. Was that shaless rascal Zi Xiao also here?
"Ah, since everyone is so interested in Mr. Zi, how could I not oblige?" A gentle voice rang from above the altar, then a figure flew over to Dugu Qianye’s side.
When the crowd saw who had spoken, their jaws dropped in shock.
"Saint Heir!"
"The Pavilion Master of the Secret Pavilion is actually the Saint Heir!"
"How is this possible?"
"Wasn’t it said that the Pavilion Master Zi Xiao of the Secret Pavilion was sinister, cruel, capricious, and bloodthirsty? How could it be our gentle and refined Saint Heir!"
The people of the Divine Temple exploded into uproar all at once, if knowing Fen Jian was Qie Yue was surprising, then the fact that Yun Jin was Zi Xiao was truly shocking.
The faces of those from Shen Xingzong had turned as black as could be. Even the Divine Master herself could hardly believe it.
"Good, good, good!" Shen Xingzong looked at Zi Xiao and said, "I’ve been raising a white-eyed wolf indeed!"
Dugu Qianye looked at the person who had flown to his side. No wonder the first ti he saw Yun Jin during the competition period amongst the four major empires, he had winked at him. So it was that scoundrel!
"What, are you stunned? Is it because you’ve realized how handso I actually am?" Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye and said.
"You’re not wearing a mask?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"No," Zi Xiao said, "Do you think anyone can possess the ’Thousand Faces’?"
"Then how co you have two different appearances?"
"Shape-shifting Fruit."
"Shape-shifting Fruit?"
"Yes. If you’re interested, I’ll give you a few to study later. Shouldn’t you be focused on dealing with the enemies ahead of us right now?" Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye with amusent.
"Quite impressive, you both are." The Divine Master, who had been silently observing everything, suddenly spoke up.
"Old witch, what’s quite impressive?" Qie Yue Fei also arrived by Dugu Qianye’s side and asked the Divine Master.
By then, Jiang Yu had completed his task and returned to Dugu Qianye’s side. The people of the Divine Temple had been bewitched by the Yellowstone Fiend and were now slowly coming to their senses after Jiang Yu’s intervention. Rembering everything the Divine Temple had done to them, all of them were seething with anger.
"I had been worried that my Guigui wouldn’t eat the evil girl before the celestial prophecy and be unable to complete its evolution; I never expected you would bring so many sacrifices here. I must really thank you," the Divine Master said with a smile. She motioned for Huagui to return to her side.
"Aoooo, aoooo, I love eating human flesh the most!" Huagui returned to the altar and said to the Divine Master.
"Alright, I’ll let you eat in a while," the Divine Master said as she stroked Huagui’s fur. Her movents were graceful, but the act itself was wickedly evil.
"Now that you all know, I won’t deny it any longer. Today, none of you shall leave here alive. Let my Guigui have a good al and grow to maturity. I’ve been stuck at this bottleneck for a hundred years now, and once my Guigui reaches maturity, I’ll be able to break through. I have been planning this for fifty years; no one will spoil my grand plan today!"
"You claim to be the servant of the gods, the representative of light, yet for your own selfish desires, you are willing to sacrifice the people of the entire Xuanyue Continent!" Qie Yue spoke out indignantly, "Our Secret Pavilion exists solely to deal with an old witch like you!"
