Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Wuyou Island (1)_1

Dugu Qianye smiled faintly and said, "Whether I’m bold or not all depends on whether others want me to be bold. If being bold can save my life, why not be bolder?"

Without such boldness, she would have lost her life countless times already!

"Do you know what the consequences of killing a Hall Master of my Divine Temple would be?" Shen Xingzong asked.

"Not sure about the consequences, but I do know what would happen to me if I didn’t kill him," Dugu Qianye replied.

After hearing Dugu Qianye’s reply, Shen Xingzong stopped questioning her and turned to the people of the Divine Temple, "What do you think should be done?"

"For me, just kill her to avenge my son Niu Yan," Yu Batian had been obsessively wanting to claim her life.

The others remained silent.

"I’ve heard your Grand Priest is arriving soon, aren’t you? Planning to commit murder during this time?" Dugu Qianye spoke faintly, her smile beaming, which angered Yu Batian, causing both his heart and liver to ache.

"Fengqi, what do you say?"

"Indeed, we cannot kill anyone before the Grand Priest arrives, as it would be disrespectful to the Divine Master," Lei Fengqi replied. "Moreover, Master Baili is also a titled Lord of the Mors Empire; we cannot simply kill him. It would be better to let her stay on Wuyou Island for a few days, and after the Grand Priest’s ceremony is over, we can discuss with the Mors Empire and make a decision then."

When Lei Fengqi mentioned Wuyou Island, Fen Jian tensed up, and Dugu Qianye then understood that was the place for detaining outsiders, the true destination she had intended to cause a stir and reach.

Shen Xingzong looked at the others and noticed that everyone agreed, only Xie Ping was busying himself with cleaning his ears, showing no reaction, so he asked, "Venerable Xie, do you have any comments?"

Xie Ping removed his earpick and said, "This is your territory, what can we say? Even if we did have any objections, would speaking up make any difference?"

"Heh," laughed Shen Xingzong, his voice pleasant to hear. He looked at Xie Ping and said softly, "No use. Since it’s been decided, Baili Xie, I’m afraid you’ll have to be inconvenienced to stay on Wuyou Island for a few days. Fengqi, take her there later. Alright, let’s adjourn."

After Shen Xingzong finished speaking, he left the Tribunal Hall. Yu Batian sprang up, stormed off in a huff. As he passed by Dugu Qianye, he glared fiercely at her and said, "I’ll let you live a few more days! Hmph!"

As Huo Xiu passed by Dugu Qianye, he paused a moment and then walked away briskly. Huo Yu, following behind him, was still pondering the previous question.

After everyone had left, Xie Ping said to Dugu Qianye, "Just tell me if there’s any problem. If anyone bullies you, hit them back hard, got it?"

Dugu Qianye nodded, indicating she understood. Lei Fengqi approached Dugu Qianye and said, "Indeed, you are very bold." Then he summoned a Fiery Phoenix, its massive body and red feathers like a blaze of flames. Lei Fengqi took Dugu Qianye onto the Fiery Phoenix and flew towards Wuyou Island.

In the courtyard, Shen Xingzong stood watching Dugu Qianye’s retreating figure grow distant, imagining that grand scheme, as a hint of bloodthirst flickered through his calm eyes.

A simple tribunal had decided a person’s fate, even though Dugu Qianye had killed Niu Yan because he wanted to kill her, there was still no leeway. If it was an ordinary person, they might just wait, wait for the Great Sacrifice, wait to negotiate with the Mors Empire but still end up with the same fate. Sadly, Dugu Qianye was no ordinary person, and she was bound to stir the Divine Temple upside down!

Wuyou Island was a small island far from Holy Spirit Island, with strong prison cells built to hold those who had angered the Divine Temple. Since some of those imprisoned were famous or highly respected individuals, their incarceration had to be kept secret to avoid tarnishing the Divine Temple’s reputation. Thus, aside from Shen Xingzong and Lei Fengqi, no one knew where the island was. Whenever someone needed to be imprisoned, it was Lei Fengqi who personally took them there.

Of course, the name Wuyou Island implied that once you were there, you should not think about leaving, because those who left were dead. Putting you there, they were not afraid of you knowing who else was inside. But since you knew, you could only join them. Even the guards didn’t have the privilege of leaving the island.

So when the Temple said they would let her stay for a little while, it was simply a deception. They had not intended for her to live from the start!

The Fiery Phoenix swiftly brought the two of them to Wuyou Island. Looking down from above, Dugu Qianye noticed that many Sea Phantom Beasts swam around the island, all of them ferocious and man-eating, like giant piranhas the size of elephants. It seemed these were the Divine Temple’s external guards for the prisoners. If you couldn’t fly, even if you escaped from prison, you wouldn’t leave Wuyou Island. Presumably, no one on Wuyou Island had a flying Contract Beast.

After dropping them off, the Fiery Phoenix returned to the Phantom Beast Space, and Lei Fengqi led Dugu Qianye to the only building on the island.

"Hall Master Lei," the Prison Guard greeted Lei Fengqi with a salute upon his arrival.

"Where are Xiao Yi and Xiao San?" Lei Fengqi asked, noticing only one person guarding the gate.

"Reporting to Hall Master Lei, they’re on room inspection," Xiao San replied.

Lei Fengqi nodded and instructed, "This gentleman is a Marquis from the Mors Empire, arrange accommodations for her."

The guard glanced at Dugu Qianye with a hint of pity—such a young lad doomed to spend his lifetime here.

At that moment, Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, and Xiao Si returned from inspecting the rooms. Seeing Lei Fengqi, they saluted him one by one. Observing them, Dugu Qianye realized the four guards were quadruplets!

Xiao San mentioned Dugu Qianye’s situation, and Xiao Si went to prepare a room.

"Young Master Baili, you’ll reside here for some time. After the Great Sacrifice, we will send someone to discuss with representatives from the Mors Empire," Lei Fengqi said. "I know you have a flying Phantom Beast, but I hope you’ll stay put. If you disappear, the lives of others from the Mors Empire could be in jeopardy. They have alarm devices on them that can directly contact me if there’s any trouble. So, Young Master Baili, I wish you a pleasant stay here."

It was a blatant threat!

Having said his part and left a few instructions with Xiao Yi and the others, Lei Fengqi then departed on his Fiery Phoenix.

Afterward, Xiao Si led Dugu Qianye to a room, and along the way, she carefully observed the surroundings. She had heard from Fen Jian about this place, imagining it to be a dark prison, but it turned out to be a delicately manicured courtyard with rockeries, pavilions, ponds, and in those ponds, fish swam alongside lotus leaves.

The living quarters were tidy little huts lined up neatly, with even pots of fresh flowers outside each room. Her eyes flickered at the sight of those flowers. Walking through the corridor, Dugu Qianye arrived at her room.

"Young Master Baili, this will be your room. If you need anything, just press the bell here, and someone will come to you," Xiao Si pointed to a small button by the door and said to Dugu Qianye.
