Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Trial (4)_1

"Master Xie, I’ll take Baili Xie with me," Lei Fengqi said to Xie Ping, "The Hall Master will ensure a fair result for all."

"I think I’d feel more comfortable going with you," Xie Ping said, looking at Yu Batian, whose killing intent hadn’t diminished."

"Hmph!" Yu Batian snorted coldly and turned away from Xie Ping.

"Principal, we want to go too!" the students from Mors stated firmly.

Lei Fengqi glanced at them and said, "Since you are our guests, you may follow. But whether you can enter will depend on your luck." With that, he turned and walked toward the city.

Lei Bin came over and said, "Young Master Baili, let’s go."

Dugu Qianye looked at Lei Bin, recognized him as the person from last night, and silently cursed in his heart before walking towards the city, the others following beside him.

As the group arrived at the center of the city, passing by the altar, Dugu Qianye glanced at the black pillars above and then nonchalantly withdrew his gaze.

After a short while, Lei Bin brought Dugu Qianye to the courtyard where the Divine Temple Master resided. The guard at the entrance said, "The Hall Master has ordered that only Master Xie and Baili Xie may enter. All others must stop here."

At that moment, Shen Wanqing came out and addressed the crowd, "With this incident, I know everyone is upset. The Divine Temple will provide an answer to all, and we will not take Young Master Baili’s life at the moment. Additionally, the Hall Master invites everyone to attend our decennial grand sacrificial ceremony in 10 days. It will be the liveliest day at the Divine Temple in ten years. You’ve all had a tiring day, so please go back and rest now."

After speaking, Shen Wanqing then said to Xie Ping, "Master Xie, please."

Giving everyone a reassuring look, Dugu Qianye entered the gates of the Divine Temple with Xie Ping, officially starting the engagement with the mysterious Divine Temple Master.

Shen Wanqing led Xie Ping and the rest towards the Tribunal Hall of the Divine Temple. This was the ultimate seat of power within the entire Divine Temple; no authority could outweigh an order issued from this place.

"You’ve got quite the nerve," Shen Wanqing commented to Dugu Qianye while they walked.

"I’ve always been bold. Quite a few people have recently told me I have nerve, heh heh."

"Hmph! I am not praising you," Shen Wanqing said, and then seemingly off-handedly remarked, "If we weren’t preoccupied with the sacrificial rituals, and killing wasn’t disrespectful to the Divine Master, you would have been dead by the sea already."

Although Shen Wanqing seemed casual, Dugu Qianye felt as if she was specifically reminding him. Even though he was aware of the situation, Dugu Qianye still accepted her goodwill at the moment. Shen Wanqing would later learn that because of her kind act today, she reaped a good consequence.

The Tribunal Hall was reached quickly. While it was referred to as the Tribunal Hall, its layout resembled a conventional living room quite closely. A single chair was placed at the forefront, and on each side, there were five, all stark in their simplicity, not in keeping with the usual opulence of the Divine Temple.

After Shen Wanqing led Xie Ping and Dugu Qianye inside, they sat down on one of the chairs at the lower end. As Xie Ping entered, a maid swiftly brought a chair for him.

Dugu Qianye, as the subject of the tribunal, naturally had no right to a seat. She glanced over the people above and roughly committed them to memory.

All four Hall Masters were present, now minus Niu Yan, the other three were also there, along with the Divine Temple’s Saintess Shen Wanqing. There were two empty stools, one was Niu Yan’s, and the other must belong to the Saint Heir, Yun Jin.

She had already met the Thunder Temple Master and the Rain Hall Master, the other two, one looked about four parts similar to Fen Jian when he was showing off, he must be the Wind Temple Master Fen Lai. The other, wearing fiery red clothes instead of the standard white required by the Divine Temple, was presumably the Fire Temple Master, Huo Xiu. Huo Xiu had glanced at Dugu Qianye when she entered, a trace of puzzlement in his eyes, then it dimmed and he looked away.

Lei Bin and Fen Jian had arrived before Dugu Qianye and were now seated in their places. The other person was naturally Huo Yu, the young Hall Master of the Fire Temple. Huo Yu seemed to be deep in thought and didn’t even look up when Dugu Qianye came in.

"The Hall Master has arrived," came a report from outside. Everyone from the Divine Temple stood up to greet him, Dugu Qianye hadn’t sat down to begin with, so it didn’t matter to her. However, Xie Ping twisted uncomfortably with a bit of disgruntlement.

A man walked in from outside, his waist-length hair casually draped behind him, adding to his transcendental aura. He paused briefly as he passed by Dugu Qianye, but it wasn’t obvious.

Shen Xingzong arrived and took the highest seat, signaling everyone, then the Hall Masters and young Hall Masters took their seats as well.

Shen Xingzong looked down at the people below, so this was Mo Qiushui and Dugu Yixuan’s offspring, that once worthless person, now a genius? Looking at her small frame, who would have thought she could even kill Niu Yan. He knew about Niu Yan, who had advanced to the rank of Phantom Emperor many years ago. If Dugu Qianye was able to defeat him, then her strength was not what it appeared to be during the Empire’s contest. But her age was clear for all to see, she used to be a waste who couldn’t cultivate, so even if she wasn’t as strong, she must have relied on something else to defeat Niu Yan.

Shen Xingzong looked at Dugu Qianye but didn’t speak. Dugu Qianye also looked at him, locking eyes. This Shen Xingzong appeared holy and untainted, yet who knows what color his heart was, or else he wouldn’t keep a Ferocious Beast like Huagui.

"Why did you kill my Rain Hall’s young Hall Master?" Eventually, it was Shen Xingzong who broke the silence.

"He wanted to kill me, so if I didn’t resist, was I supposed to just stand there and let him kill me?" Dugu Qianye replied, as if Shen Xingzong had asked a very stupid question.

"Hmph, if my disciple wants to kill you, that’s your fortune, and you should’ve obediently stood there to be killed," Yu Batian said, upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words.

"Tsk," Dugu Qianye scoffed, saying, "Old man, are you ill? Did you damage your brain while cultivating? If someone wanted to kill you, would you just stand there and let them kill you? Or are you not a person, but—a ghost?"

"Impudent!" Yu Batian’s face turned red with anger from Dugu Qianye’s mockery, and he smashed the tea table next to him with a slap.

"Where was I impudent?" Dugu Qianye, not intimidated by Yu Batian, said, "You ask the other Hall Masters, who would wait to be killed by someone without resisting. If not that your brain is damaged, what else could it be? Divine Temple Master, I suggest you have Fire Temple Master take a look at Rain Hall Master, maybe if he really has a brain issue, you should treat it promptly, perhaps it might cure his foolishness!"

"Pfft—"

Fen Jian, Lei Bin, and Shen Wanqing couldn’t help but laugh, but, noticing the inappropriate setting, bowed their heads. Fire Temple Master glanced at Dugu Qianye and then focused on the teacup in his hand, seemingly lost in thought. Huo Yu’s line of thought was interrupted, and he began to pay attention to Dugu Qianye.

Shen Xingzong, looking at Dugu Qianye, said, "You’re very bold."
