Chapter 525: Chapter 332 Lin Yan’s Fury!_2

Lin Yan’s expression remained unchanged, clearly having already known of the other’s arrival.

Then the Great Temple Priest, supporting himself on the staircase, came up.

Ling He sighed in relief and stepped aside.

"It was my order, to have her pay special attention to the north," he said.

The Great Temple Priest moved forward and said, "In recent days, Mr. Liu Qi has been frequently appearing in the north, and within a hundred miles radius, he has been closely associated with the people of Tribulation Ash!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan fell silent.

He knew the once Seventh Temple Priest of Liu Zun Temple, who had been in charge of the Observatory Tower.

This person was aware of Liu Zun Temple, and even the various arrangements and all kinds of secrets of High Willow City.

If it were leaked, Tribulation Ash infiltrating the inner city would become a major disaster!

"I had sent out the guard army, wanting to kill him outside the city, to have Ling He’s attention, all focused on the north," the Great Temple Priest continued.

He paused then spoke in a low voice, "Most importantly, I was too conceited, thinking that with the Commander’s cultivation, should he lose control and turn into an evil spirit, it would surely alert Liu Venerate! Therefore, I believed there was no need to specifically pay attention to the direction of the Observatory..."

Lin Yan exhaled and said, "But he did lose control and Liu Venerate wasn’t alerted, nor did you, the Great Temple Priest, notice."

His earliest suspicion was that there was something wrong with the Great Temple Priest himself, and he had used incense to cover the slumbering Liu Venerate, making the Commander’s loss of control seem calm and uneventful.

But now, it seemed there was another reason.

"I couldn’t figure it out earlier, but on my way here just now, I remembered something," said the Great Temple Priest.

The Great Temple Priest glanced at Lin Yan with a complex tone.

Lin Yan did not reply, simply watching him quietly.

"The flags of the Observatory are originally from the Holy Land, sent over by Prefecture City," he whispered.

The Great Temple Priest spoke softly, "From the Commander to the garrison commander, the General Flag Envoy, and the Flag Commander, all have the function of absorbing ’Liu Venerate Qi Mechanism’."

Lin Yan was not unfamiliar with Liu Venerate’s Qi Mechanism.

This belonged to the thoughts of the Old God, also corrupted under the bizarre night.

If not collected promptly, these various queer auras would form what’s known as a divine intent seed.

A divine intent seed could turn a person into Tribulation Ash, or allow demons and evil spirits to hide in High Willow City, even unaffected by typical temple secret techniques.

"Just now, Mr. Liu Three came here before me; I was a bit late mainly because I had the City Guard Mansion send over the city defense entry ledger," he said.

The Great Temple Priest paused and then said, "In the past before the start of spring, there would be new flags sent to replace the old ones, but this time there were none!"

Lin Yan did not reply.

He roughly understood now that there was trouble in the Holy Land, and the new flags were insufficiently refined.

And the Prefecture City Sky Observation Department had all its focus on him, Lin Yan.

Concerning the new laws of an eternal age, the entire inner city of Qifeng Prefecture had been completely sealed off!

The replacement of new and old flags by the various city observatories had been postponed from before spring until now!

"It must be the flag on the Commander’s body that contained a large amount of ’Liu Venerate Qi Mechanism’, which was not sent to Prefecture City in time for destruction by Wutong Divine Mother," he whispered.

The Great Temple Priest spoke softly, "Affected by this, even if he turned into an evil spirit... he was almost seen as a part of Liu Venerate, undetectable by the Heavenly Observation Divine Mirror, nor could I have noticed."

Lin Yan looked intently at the Great Temple Priest, and after a long while, he said, "So it seems, I cannot blame you; if there is to be any blame, it also lies with me..."

The Commander’s loss of control was originally irretrievable, but all these coincidences were indeed too much.

For instance, the Seventh Temple Priest had previously escaped outside of High Willow City, and in recent days appeared in the north, specifically within a hundred miles.

Having once been in charge of the Observatory Tower, this Mr. Liu Qi must know that within a hundred miles, he would be detected by the Heavenly Observation Divine Mirror.

Lin Yan found it hard not to suspect that the Commander’s loss of control was also connected with Mr. Liu Qi.

To be precise, it was not just for the Commander’s loss of control.

But to have the Commander assassinate him, the Saint Master!

"Before this, a person came to the Blessed Land of Residual Prison Mansion, claiming to be the Commander’s old friend, helping the Commander suppress signs of losing control," Lin Yan said.

The Great Temple Priest frowned and said, "I have heard of it, but never had any dealings with this person."

Lin Yan exhaled and said, "The signs of the Commander losing control were not restrained at all; instead, many malicious thoughts that didn’t belong to the Commander appeared... There is something wrong with this person!"

He paused, then Lin Yan said, "Recently, that person entered the city; I would like to ask you both to use the Heavenly Observation Divine Mirror to help me locate him!"

"Yes!"

Ling He stepped forward and immediately responded, thinking this could also be considered as making amends for her wrongdoing.

"Also..."

Lin Yan paused, then seriously said, "I was disrespectful earlier, please forgive me!"

As his voice fell, he bowed, then walked down the stairs.

Watching his back, the Great Temple Priest then turned to Ling He beside him and remarked reflectively, "A Saint Master should be above the clouds; a young man, esteemed and elevated at a young age, not only does he not see everything beneath him, surveying all living beings, but he is also willing to lower his status and humbly apologize, truly rare."

"Moreover, this matter indeed was the oversight of our Liu Zun Temple, which could have detected and responded earlier."

"The Commander is extremely important to him; by his own hands, he had to end the life of this guide, surely carrying a tremendous rage."

"He is already ruthless, killing like flax; this time I was prepared, under his fury, to offer my head to mourn the Commander."

"Unexpectedly, the higher his cultivation, the more steadfast his resolve, even three parts calmer than before."

The Great Temple Priest slightly stroked his beard and sighed, "If in my younger days, had I been in his position, not tearing down the Observatory Tower would already be considered rational."
