Chapter 1023: 468: Sky Holy Palace? The Secret of Fu Lingxi!_3

Although there weren’t many nobles and lords in attendance, guests were still bustling around.

Many of the guests were commoners, among whom were hundreds of elderly couples, signifying longevity and a lifetime of togetherness.

There were also hundreds of children, as they symbolized a thriving family lineage and an abundance of offspring.

Thousands of guests filled the City Lord’s Mansion of Tianshui City to the brim, making a buzzing and bustling atmosphere.

There were dozens of music bands playing celebratory melodies without cease.

Undoubtedly, this was a joyous wedding, a wedding to be remembered for a lifetime.

...

Yanjing Holy Temple!

Fu Lingxi, completely naked, stood by the roaring flames, stretching out her jade hand to burn in the fire, watching her skin char inch by inch, then miraculously heal back to its original state.

"Ah..." The strange sound she emitted seemed both pained and pleasured.

"Hurry, go and notify your masters to report to their superiors," Fu Lingxi said. "I cannot leave, and it is imperative that a Sky Priest of the Heretic Faction come to see me. The moment for our desperate counterattack is now; delay would mean it’s too late."

The priest spoke with a trembling voice, "Your Excellency Fu Lingxi, are you truly confident in turning defeat into victory? The Radiant Faction has come with an overwhelming force, and our highest echelons are prepared for the worst—total annihilation of the Zhi Du Sanctuary, submission to the Radiant Faction. Luo Ge executed, Ge Li executed, Fang Qingyi executed, the Lord of Yin Zhou stepping down, the entire Yin Zhou submitting to the supervision of the Radiant Faction. All Heretic Faction members of the Dragon Temple Laboratory are expelled, and any connections are to result in execution. The Lord of the Demon Continent, His Majesty of the Monster Sect, personally went to the Sky Holy Temple to atone and is confined for twenty years. The entire Heretic Faction is ready to have a hundred thousand die, to lay dormant for twenty years."

Suddenly, Fu Lingxi gasped in shock.

They say a thief’s bite penetrates three layers deep.

A bite from the just and stern Saintess Ji Xiuning wounds to the bone.

She is not only looking to bring down Yin Zhou and Zhi Du Sanctuary, but also to take this opportunity to uproot the Heretic Faction completely.

This is truly a storm of bloody carnage!

The power struggle within the upper echelons of the Dragon Temple is even more intense than in the Rage Wave Kingdom.

Zhi Li and Suo Lun fought for three years, with tens of thousands killed or injured.

Yet the factional struggle among the Dragon Temple’s high ranks, for just one case, would cost a hundred thousand lives.

Keep in mind, the total number of members in the Dragon Temple across the entire Human Kingdom is just a few million.

Many high-ranking officials in the Rage Wave Kingdom originally followed Zhi Li, but after defeat, they surrendered to Suo Lun and managed to keep their lives.

However, in the struggle for power within the Dragon Temple, the losers are often completely destroyed, both physically and mentally.

And the prelude to this bloody storm was ignited by nothing more than the demonic blood on Zhi Li’s body.

Fu Lingxi coldly said, "Our Saintess Ji Xiuning is indeed bursting with ambition, yet she has not even ascended to be the supreme leader of the Dragon Temple."

However, the fiercer the struggle, the happier Fu Lingxi was.

Because, in this way, her merit in turning the tide would be all the greater, and she could clearly see the position of the Sky Priest right before her eyes!

"Your Excellency Fu Lingxi, are you sure you can lead the entire faction to victory from defeat?" asked the priest. "Conveying your message is to bear a tremendous responsibility."

Fu Lingxi said, "I’m certain, you must hurry. Because my influence is too light, Ji Xiuning doesn’t even consider my existence yet. Once she remembers me, you all won’t have the chance to send a message anymore."

"I’ll go immediately," the priest ran off swiftly.

The other two monks hurriedly tied Fu Lingxi back to the torture rack in the ghostly prison.

At this moment, Ji Xiuning’s focus was indeed not on Fu Lingxi but on seriously interrogating Fang Qingyi, Luo Ge and Ge Li.

In the eyes of Ji Xiuning, Fu Lingxi was just a small fish caught in the crossfire, too insignificant to matter.

Therefore, the Power-Holding Faction took advantage of the void to burn her to death, to prevent her from speaking recklessly.

Being tied up in the ghost prison again, Fu Lingxi felt no fear, instead, she was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Waiting for the leader of the Heretic Faction of the Dragon Temple to come and meet with her.

Who would it be? A Sky Priest?

Poluo Sha? Or Modu?

...

Three hours later!

Suddenly, Fu Lingxi smelt a strange fragrance.

Then, her eyes began to dazzle, and she felt as if she were floating on air.

The scenery around her began to change.

The dreadful ghost prison had disappeared, replaced by clouds.

This was a sky, with nothing but white clouds!

Where was this? The Sky Holy Palace?

Fu Lingxi had never been to the Sky Holy Palace; unless one became a Sky Priest or the heir to a Sky Priest, no one was eligible to go there.

Not to mention her, Fu Lingxi, even Chief Judge Luo Ge and Holy Priest Ge Li had never gone to the Sky Holy Palace.

Then, a figure appeared in the distance and approached slowly.

Enveloped in a black cloak, this person came to Fu Lingxi and asked: "You are Fu Lingxi?"

The voice of this person was neither male nor female, completely androgynous.

It was as enchanting as the sound of the heavens and yet as terrifying as the sound of a demon.

"Yes," whispered Fu Lingxi.

The Sky Priest lifted the black cloak from their head, revealing their true face.

It was an extraordinarily beautiful face, yet still indistinguishable as male or female, and even more eerie was that this person had no hair, no eyebrows.

So, while they looked extremely beautiful, it was still utterly chilling.

This person was none other than one of the leaders of the Heretic Faction of the Dragon Temple, Poluo Sha!

"Fu Lingxi, you say you can help our Heretic Faction turn defeat into victory? Is that so?" Poluo Sha asked slowly.

"Yes," said Fu Lingxi.

Poluo Sha said: "If you can really do that, you will be the Chief Judge of the Zhidu Tribunal, the future Sky Priest."

Fu Lingxi knelt down, her voice trembling: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Poluo Sha said: "Alright, what trump card do you have that can be revealed, how exactly do you propose to lead the faction to victory?"

Fu Lingxi said: "I can find the Lord of Yao Xing, the World-Ending Demon Emperor!"
