Chapter 1003: 460: Fu Lingxi Tragedy! The Death of Fang Qingyi!_2

This very day, a tumultuous scandal was indeed stirred up by her.

She actually, with her own power alone, confronted both the vast entities of Yin Zhou and Zhi Du Sanctuary, and even faced the looming menace of the Demon Continent behind them.

What kind of will is this? How tremendous the difficulty? How exceedingly intricate are the interests involved?

She actually did it!

At this moment, Suo Lun finally began to understand why Fu Lingxi sought him out, uttering such bizarre words.

But he only understood half of it; the other half remained a mystery to him.

Fu Lingxi said that someone utterly despicable and shameless sought to feel the warmth and guilt brought by the noble.

Suo Lun could comprehend this point, as if Zhi Li, in his final moments, was touched by the radiance of his wife Fang Qingzhuo’s humanity, bringing a hint of warmth to his heart, removing his complete despair for this world.

Therefore, before his death, Zhi Li chose to use his own life to protect Rage Wave Kingdom, his wife and daughters, the entire Zhi Clan.

And amazingly, his confession even involved Fu Lingxi?

Without a doubt, Zhi Li’s action was a gesture of goodwill towards Suo Lun, an act of vengeance on his behalf.

But after Suo Lun refused to release FuE and denied Fu Lingxi the last warmth, she actually breathed a sigh of relief, something Suo Lun could not fathom.

...

Suo Lun asked for a jar of wine and poured two cups.

"Brother Zhi Li, I have received your message, I will protect Rage Wave Kingdom, and your family, this cup is to honor you!"

Then, Suo Lun poured the first cup onto the ground.

The other cup, he drank in one gulp!

After finishing the drink, Suo Lun let out a long sigh and sat back down on his chair.

All is truly well now, all the crises besieging Rage Wave Kingdom have passed, there will be no more dangers!

Initially, even if Suo Lun had recovered the reserve of eleven million Gold Coins, even if he had thwarted the conspiracy of the City Defense Army’s rebellion, even if he filled the national treasury by confiscating the properties of corrupt nobles, the danger to Rage Wave Kingdom would still loom.

Yin Zhou would not let things go so easily, they would certainly seek revenge.

Zhi Du Sanctuary would not relent either, they too would seek retribution.

Moreover, the very moment Zhi Yan Princess ascends the throne as Queen, perhaps Flame Empire and Xiliang Kingdom would become restive.

Suo Lun still needed to tread carefully, the whole Rage Wave Kingdom was still in a state of jeopardy.

But now, all the dangers have vanished!

Yin Zhou and Zhi Du Sanctuary are now in great crises of their own, struggling to preserve themselves, and are unlikely to trouble Rage Wave Kingdom again.

As for Flame Empire, they’re wholly intent on dealing with Zhi Du Sanctuary and Yin Zhou, without the possibility of invading Rage Wave Kingdom.

Even when necessary, the Flame Emperor Royal Family would forge an alliance with Rage Wave Kingdom to jointly combat Yin Zhou and Zhi Du Sanctuary.

Without the backing of Flame Empire, Xiliang Kingdom would be even less likely to traverse a thousand miles of desert to mount an expedition against Rage Wave Kingdom!

Furthermore, the ongoing power struggle within Dragon Temple is a long-lasting battle, one that won’t conclude in just two or three years.

Now, it is merely the beginning!

Perhaps some might say that Zhi Li’s confession was obviously flawed, clearly an act of framing to protect Rage Wave Kingdom and trigger an internal struggle within Dragon Temple.

Of course, many people, including Saintess Ji Xiuning, could see through the inconsistencies in this confession at first glance.

But, Zhi Li is already dead, and that inconsistency has thus dissipated.

Moreover, did Saintess Ji Xiuning really instigate such an enormous scandal just for a vial of demon blood?

Certainly not!

The demon blood of Zhi Li was merely one of her pretexts, just a fuse for igniting this earth-shattering upheaval.

Her goal was to thoroughly reform Dragon Temple’s dark forces, to utterly purge the corruption among the upper echelons of Dragon Temple.

After thousands of years, whether it is Zhi Du Sanctuary, Xiliang Sanctuary or even North Court Temple, they are no longer bastions of light and justice, having completely fallen into corruption and filth.

And the four Great Secret Continents are even more wicked and inscrutable in their darkness.

Moreover, the four Great Secret Continents have formed a deep and inextricable collusion with the local Holy Temples, becoming an uncontrollable force.

Every time a decree from Sky Holy Palace is issued, the local Holy Temples comply outwardly but oppose it secretly.

What happened to Ashi Luo made Ji Xiuning shudder!

If it weren’t for the pervasive darkness of the world, would the four Great Secret Continents under Dragon Temple be so evil? How else would Ashi Luo have been reduced to a Hell Knight?

Ashi Luo had never seen the World-Ending Demon Emperor, yet in the end, he chose death over betrayal, steadfast in his dark faith.

If there were thousands upon thousands like Ashi Luo, the entire Dragon Temple would be utterly annihilated, and the whole human civilization would collapse.

Ji Xiuning could understand Dragon Temple’s use of special methods to govern the Human World, hence the four Great Secret Continents.

But now, these continents have degraded into the epitome of evil, becoming the dark garden of Dragon Temple.

When Ashi Luo was reduced to a plaything, how many priests of Dragon Temple had indulged themselves in his flesh?

Every year, how many handsome young boys and girls from the Human Kingdoms disappear, sent off to the Demon Continent, to Yin Zhou?

Every year, how many lands in the Human Kingdoms become private property of the four Great Secret Continents? How many landlords and farmers from Human Kingdoms go bankrupt?

Dragon Temple expands every year, more and more join the Temple; they do not produce but live in luxury, leeching off the Human Kingdoms.
