The most terrifying thing about humans is that sotis, even when you want to die, you simply cannot.
For instance, just now, Ashi Luo could not sever his heart, decapitate himself, or even cause his dragon power to explode.
Because more than a dozen top warriors had suppressed every inch of his muscles and veins, not to ntion suicide, he couldn’t even move.
However, the physical explosion of a Dragon Temple warrior’s body was sothing not even the most skillful martial artist could stop.
Ashi Luo hadn’t prepared the dan dicine bomb inside his body just for today; it was sothing that had always been inside him, ready to be used whenever he wished to commit suicide.
The dan dicine bomb wasn’t gunpowder, but its power was greater than that of gunpowder, more than enough to pulverize his entire body.
Demon blood is powerful, capable of instantly healing dozens of pierced wounds in the chest.
But instant disintegration and bone-crushing were beyond even the demon blood’s abilities to repair.
…
Upon witnessing the scene of Ashi Luo’s body disintegrating.
The entire place fell into a silent stillness, which, of course, was not due to shock but anger.
This ant that this Demon-Subduing Bureau’s mission had only succeeded halfway or had been a complete failure.
The Dragon Temple had dispatched its two finest undercover priests and had them infiltrate for over a decade.
Now, with the Sky Priest presiding, the elite from Rage Wave Kingdom’s Dragon Temple had erged in full force, and they were after more than just a Hell Knight.
Their true target was to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor.
This demon star’s master could very likely be hiding among the countless people within the Human Kingdoms, showing no outward signs and growing stronger every day.
A plan that had been laid out for over a decade could have brought them infinitely close to the World-Ending Demon Emperor.
However, with Ashi Luo’s self-destruction, everything vanished into smoke and ash.
In the entire Human World, with dozens of nations and powers, and a population in the billions, finding one person was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Monts later, a priest said, “We tried to absorb Ashi Luo’s soul and spiritual power to the maximum, but…”
Soul and spirit are the most mysterious and high-end domains in this world, and even the Dragon Temple’s research in these areas is quite limited.
In the Dragon Temple’s specially built spiritual shield chamber, an attempt might be made to capture spirit and soul energies, in a relatively absolute energy shield that makes it hard for these energies to dissipate.
But in a place like this.
The mont a person dies, their soul is almost certainly shattered to pieces.
Holy Priest Ge Li, Chief Judge Luo Ge, the future Sky Priest, and the Holy Maiden Ji Xiuning of the Dragon Temple suddenly exchanged glances and then nodded.
“Let’s go,” Holy Priest Ge Li said indifferently.
Chief Judge Luo Ge pointed at the Ashi Liren and Suo Lun inside the room and said, “Dispose of these two.”
By “dispose,” he ant they would be killed directly.
Although all of Suo Lun’s senses had been shielded, he still had to be killed to silence him.
Red Cloak Mrs.
Huo said, “This Mr.
Yan Ziyu is actually Tianshui City Lord Suo Lun.”
Chief Judge Luo Ge said, “So what?”
A re vassal lord was no different from an ant, wasn’t he?
A Grand Priest standing by said, “He is a reincarnated being who has not yet awakened, and his mind contains the mories of a Grand Priest from two thousand years ago.”
Reincarnates and the Heaven Tomb are both incredibly precious; they exist to preserve certain top-secret information of the Dragon Temple or advanced research findings.
It is a kind of immortality in another sense.
After a slight hesitation, Chief Judge Luo Ge said, “Eliminate him anyway.
When compared to the World-Ending Demon Emperor, a reincarnate ans nothing.”
Ji Xiuning said, “Perhaps we could erase their mories of this period.”
Chief Judge Luo Ge said, “Princess Xiuning, you should also be aware that so-called mory erasure is difficult to accomplish completely.
Killing them settles things once and for all.”
With that, Chief Judge Luo Ge left without another word.
Ji Xiuning said, “I feel this is not appropriate.
Every reincarnate is a treasure to the Dragon Temple.
And besides, he hasn’t heard any secrets; from the mont we appeared, all his senses were shielded.”
Luo Ge turned his head and looked at Ji Xiuning’s incredibly beautiful face.
This Crown Princess was not only the Holy Maiden of the Dragon Temple but also the highest symbol of cooperation between the Dragon Temple and worldly royalty.
Even though she was not yet the Priestess of the Sky, he, as a Chief Judge of a kingdom, was not particularly afraid of her.
But…
Luo Ge had disciples and followers of his own, and to rashly offend the will of a future Sky Priest did not seem aningful.
“Fine.
We will spare Suo Lun,” Chief Judge Luo Ge said.
“But this Ashi Liren must be killed, as her heart is filled with absolute hatred for the Dragon Temple, and if she lives, she would beco an anti-Dragon Temple elent.”
Zuo Qiu trembled, “But she is a disciple of King Dongli Jiang Shang.”
Chief Judge Luo Ge said coldly, “So what?”
At this point, his gaze was filled with absolute anger.
It was one thing for the future Sky Priest Ji Xiuning to contest my will, but you, a re priest, dare to contradict too?
Red Cloak Huo Ya was subordinated to Chief Judge Luo Ge.
And the Fake Zuo Qiu was Holy Priest Ge Li’s man.
“All right, clean up and go back to the Holy Temple to continue your scholarly research,” Holy Priest Ge Li said to Fake Zuo Qiu.
“Yes,” Fake Zuo Qiu said, “I request to carry out the execution of Ashi Liren.”
“Fine,” Ge Li said.
Although the Demon-Subduing Bureau failed to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor, both Huo Ya and Fake Zuo Qiu, who had been undercover for over a decade, still deserved credit.
After returning to Zhi Du, both of them would be formally promoted.
Fake Zuo Qiu would beco one of the sixteen Grand Priests.
Huo Ya would beco one of the sixteen Judges of the Dragon Tribunal.
Chief Judge Luo Ge ordered, “After you return, you may capture anyone from Ashi Luo’s side; you must find the Tears of the Demon.
The operation to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor can only be intensified, not weakened.”
Holy Priest Ge Li said, “Use all the power of the Dragon Temple to search for the Blood of the Demon.
We must capture and eliminate the World-Ending Demon Emperor before he grows stronger.”
“As decreed!”
…
After Ashi Luo’s self-destruction, the first thing Liren felt was a pain piercing through her heart once again.
The agony was identical to when she lost her husband.
It felt like a bomb exploded in the depths of her heart, violently sweeping through her entire body.
Endless pain, endless tornt.
And then…
there was nothing but a complete void.
Her mind was blank, her body felt void.
She could barely see anything, nor could she hear anything; she couldn’t move at all.
Even when Chief Judge Luo Ge wanted to kill her to silence her, she had no reaction.
At that mont, the room was left with only a dozen or so Martial Arts grandmasters, a dozen or so Judges.
Fake Zuo Qiu held a rope glowing with a faint golden light in his hands.
This was the Execution Rope of the Dragon Temple; just by lightly placing it around soone’s neck, it would tighten automatically and then devour the person’s life force.
Dying this way would leave a whole corpse and wouldn’t be too painful.
Fake Zuo Qiu’s hands trembled slightly, his breathing was erratic, and as he slowly approached Ashi Liren, he said with a quivering voice, “Miss Liren, your ti is already running short.
Rather than die under the terrible tornt of the Dragon Yin Absolute Vein, wouldn’t it be better to leave this world quietly today, without any pain?”
Ashi Liren didn’t react and just sat there quietly, looking at the air in front of her.
Her brother Ashi Luo had already been reduced to dust; all she could do was desperately sense the remnants of his presence.
She had no reaction to Fake Zuo Qiu’s intention to execute her.
Fake Zuo Qiu’s face twitched slightly, then he gently placed the golden Execution Rope around Ashi Liren’s delicate neck.
He was about to take away her most beautiful and sacred life!
…
And just at that mont, Suo Lun opened his eyes.
The departure of the prominent figures of the Dragon Temple had lifted the sensory block from him.
The first scene he saw was Fake Zuo Qiu placing the Execution Rope around Ashi Liren’s neck.
Ashi Liren’s gaze had no focus, her expression no reaction, she still had no will to live.
Suddenly, Suo Lun said, “Liren, don’t you want to know the identity of the person behind you who wants to strangle you?”
Liren trembled slightly, then shook her head and said, “Sir, please take care of my son for , take care of Anan.”
She was already filled with a death wish, entrusting Suo Lun with her children.
Suo Lun didn’t respond to her entrustnt.
Instead, he turned to Fake Zuo Qiu and said, “Your Excellency, you give up on Liren’s life so easily.
Is it because you want to be her eternal beloved in her heart?
But once she discovers the truth, won’t your image be completely destroyed, and her love for you completely turned to ashes?”
Upon hearing this, Liren’s body shook violently.
Incredulously, she turned her head to look at Fake Zuo Qiu behind her.
Her previously unfocused eyes suddenly concentrated.
Suo Lun walked over and gently supported Ashi Liren’s shoulders.
Before, Liren would not allow any man to touch her, but now, she was in absolute shock.
“Don’t touch her…” Fake Zuo Qiu growled in a hoarse voice.
Then, several Grand Priests and Judges were about to step forward to grab Suo Lun.
However, Red Cloak Mrs.
Huo waved her hand, and the Grand Priests and Judges stopped in their tracks.
Suo Lun looked at Ashi Liren and said, “Liren, you’ve always worn a veil, not even taking it off at ho.
Why is that?”
Ashi Liren’s eyes were firmly fixed on Fake Zuo Qiu, and she didn’t answer.
Suo Lun said, “Because your husband Yan Ping is gone, your heart can no longer accommodate any other man.
Not even your peerless beauty is allowed to be seen by a second man.”
Fake Zuo Qiu’s body began to tremble.
Suo Lun continued, “I’ve always been curious.
As soone born a commoner with an ordinary appearance, even with profound knowledge, how could he have made you fall in love at first sight?
Liren said it was because of a scent that touched her heartstrings the mont she t him.”
Fake Zuo Qiu could barely hold the rope any longer.
Suo Lun said, “I did so digging, and ordinary won care about a man’s status and looks.
A bit higher, and it’s the man’s temperant they look at.
But the highest-order won almost pick n with their eyes closed because they believe in their spirit and feeling, which is essentially sniffing out a man’s scent.
Such a ‘scent’ is a form of spiritual power field.”
Ashi Liren’s eyes slowly turned to Suo Lun.
Suo Lun went on, “If there is a powerful spiritual organization that completely studies a woman, they could find out which kind of spiritual power field could instantly tug at her heartstrings.
Then, find soone with a powerful spiritual talent, specially trained in this spiritual power field.
When the two et, his release of a unique frequency of spiritual power can make the woman fall for him at first sight.”
Ashi Liren began to recall her first eting with Yan Ping.
Indeed, she had felt a palpitation even before seeing Yan Ping’s face—a palpitation of spirit and soul, the feeling of love at first sight.
At that ti, Yan Ping was teaching a group of impoverished children to read.
Suo Lun said, “You thought it was love at first sight, but little did you know that for this instant, the Dragon Temple had spent years and countless spiritualists’ efforts.
They even dispatched the brightest star of tomorrow, the youngest Grand Priest candidate.”
“Liren, this is the truth behind your love at first sight!” Suo Lun declared.
Then he looked back at Fake Zuo Qiu and asked with a smile, “What do you say, am I right, ‘Yan Ping’?”
At that, Ashi Liren’s eyes shot toward Fake Zuo Qiu like sharpened blades.
Then, Liren asked word by word, “Tell , who exactly are you?”
