Chapter 725: Three Five Seven: Fang Qingshu Arrested! Suo Lun Turnaround!

Suo Lun, Zhi Yan, and Yan Nai’er made a swift decision, riding Griffin Beasts toward Wangcheng Zidu!

Certainly, flying on Griffin Beasts was much faster than riding horses.

Only a day later, the trio’s Griffins landed in Zhi Du Royal City, while Fang Qingshu and his people were more than a thousand miles away from Zidu.

Upon entering Zidu, Zhi Yan immediately took Suo Lun and Yan Nai’er to the Zhi Du Sanctuary to meet with Chief Judge Luo Ge and Holy Priest Ge Li.

If Fang Qingshu wanted to save himself, he had to drag the two high authorities down with him, making Priest Gu Ban of the Sky hesitant to act rashly against him out of fear.

If Fang Qingshu managed to drag the two with him, he could not only escape punishment but also turn against Suo Lun and Yan Nai’er, putting them in mortal danger.

Therefore, Suo Lun now needed to sever the ties between Fang Qingshu and Luo Ge and Ge Li. He had to pin the charge of humiliating Priest Gu Ban solely on Fang Qingshu.

Why should Fang Qingshu bring down Luo Ge and Ge Li with him, just because the arrest warrant was signed by both? Fang Qingshu was merely carrying out their orders.

Now, Suo Lun must completely separate the two issues.

Which two matters to separate? One is the arrest of Yan Nai’er, and the other is the destruction of Priest Gu Ban’s protective amulet.

Suo Lun needed to strive to maintain the dignity of Luo Ge and Ge Li, ensuring the righteousness of their signing the arrest warrant.

Thus, he needed to be on the brink of death before he could hope to survive!

...

"Chief Judge Your Excellency, Holy Priest Your Excellency, Princess Zhi Yan of Rage Wave Kingdom and her fiancé Suo Lun request an audience," Luo Ge’s attendant came in to report.

At this moment, Luo Ge and Ge Li, who were playing chess, were quite taken aback.

Fang Qingshu had already left to arrest Yan Nai’er, but Zhi Yan and Suo Lun had taken it upon themselves to come seek an audience in the Royal City; what was this all about?

Luo Ge frowned, feeling disinclined to meet them.

After all, during this battle for succession, they had supported Zhi Li.

"Suo Lun says it’s a matter of the utmost urgency, concerning their dignity," the attendant said.

In an instant, Luo Ge became furious and said, "Let them in."

Half a quarter hour later, Suo Lun, Zhi Yan, and Yan Nai’er appeared before Luo Ge and Ge Li.

Despite Zhi Yan being a princess of the kingdom and Suo Lun her fiancé, Luo Ge and Ge Li continued their game of chess, not even bothering to lift their eyes for a glance, showing complete disregard for the trio.

"Suo Lun greets Holy Priest Your Excellency, Chief Judge Your Excellency," Suo Lun came forward and respectfully greeted them.

Luo Ge glanced over and noticed Yan Nai’er in the midst of the three, and couldn’t help but ask, "Who is she?"

Suo Lun said, "My fiancée, Yan Nai’er!"

At those words, Luo Ge’s gaze turned icy, and he released an immense mental pressure, making the air in the room oppressively suffocating.

Luo Ge coldly said, "Suo Lun, you’ve got some nerve. Fang Qingshu led a team to arrest your fiancée, and yet you dare to arrest her?"

Suo Lun replied, "Yan Nai’er has a special status. Priest Gu Ban of the Sky once issued her a protection amulet, which was personally delivered to me by Huai Bingyi. However, Young Master Fang Qingshu disregarded this, and directly destroyed the amulet. The matter is of great importance, so I had no choice but to enter the Royal City to meet with Your Excellencies."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ge and Ge Li trembled sharply, exchanging a glance.

Almost instantly, they sensed a dangerous scent.

Priest Gu Ban of the Sky is the highest authority responsible for capturing the World-Ending Demon Emperor. The last operation, personally directed by Luo Ge and Ge Li through the Demon-Subduing Bureau, ended in failure due to Ashi Luo’s suicide. Though they weren’t directly held accountable, it had still caused dissatisfaction from Priest Gu Ban. As a result, the task of capturing the Demon Emperor was handed over entirely to his disciple, Huai Bingyi.

Yan Nai’er, being known in the Human Kingdom for bearing demon blood, could greatly contribute to the capture of the Demon Emperor, so it was only natural for Huai Bingyi to take an interest in her.

However, neither Luo Ge nor Ge Li had expected that Huai Bingyi would bestow on Yan Nai’er a protection amulet from Gu Ban.

And that fool, Fang Qingshu, destroyed it without even looking properly!

This is a grievous offense. To put it lightly, it’s a trampling of Priest Gu Ban of the Sky’s dignity. To take it gravely, it is the Dragon Temple of Rage Wave Kingdom challenging the supreme authority of the Sky Holy Palace, an act of rebellion.

Chief Judge Luo Ge and Holy Priest Ge Li began to fall silent, their minds racing swiftly.

This was a perilous situation that, if not handled correctly, could lead to dreadful consequences.

The one who destroyed the Holy Priest’s protection amulet was Fang Qingshu, but Luo Ge and Ge Li could not be entirely dissociated from the incident since the arrest warrant was signed by them personally.

Naturally, both Luo Ge and Ge Li understood that Yan Nai’er should not be arrested.

Since she could be of significant help in capturing the Demon Emperor, they should not touch Yan Nai’er before finding the demon blood.

But, driven by the benefits of Zhi Li’s agreement, which promised to double the strength of the Sanctuary Legion, Luo Ge and Ge Li temporarily set aside the Demon Emperor’s capture operation and agreed to arrest Yan Nai’er.

This amounted to the Dragon Temple’s sacred power being exploited by secular royal authority such as Zhi Li’s to strike down adversaries.

Under normal circumstances, this situation would not be grave because the Demon Research Room of the Dragon Temple had several samples of demon blood, making Yan Nai’er not singularly indispensable.

But, with Gu Ban having given her the protection amulet, the situation changed drastically.

The current scenario is, without doubt, the Dragon Temple of Rage Wave Kingdom putting the greater picture at risk by opposing the Sky Holy Priest.
