Chapter 727: 358: Fang Qingshu’s ending! Zhi Ning is home!

"Lord Fang Qingshu, you are suspected of provoking the dignity of the Sky Holy Palace and defiling the Dragon faith. We are officially arresting you!"

With that, four inspectors from the Dragon Temple moved forward and seized Fang Qingshu’s arms.

In an instant, Fang Qingshu was completely stunned, looking incredulously at the scene unfolding before him.

What on earth was happening?

And what was even more infuriating was that the ones arresting him were not the inspectors from the Sky Holy Palace, not even those from the Yanjing Holy Temple, but from the Zhi Du Sanctuary.

Fang Qingshu immediately roared, "Holy Priest Ge Li, do not forget that the arrest warrant for Yan Nai’er was signed by both you and Luo Ge himself."

Initially, Holy Priest Ge Li did feel a certain level of guilt toward Fang Qingshu, but hearing Fang Qingshu try to drag him down too, his heart immediately filled with anger, and he coldly said, "Indeed, the arrest warrant for Yan Nai’er was signed by Luo Ge and myself, but what does that have to do with you destroying Priest Gu Ban of the Sky’s protective amulet? Suo Lun has already brought Yan Nai’er to the Dragon Temple to surrender."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingshu was struck as by thunder.

The traitor Suo Lun, the traitor Suo Lun, so cunning and sly.

He realized at once that his only chance for survival was to bind Luo Ge, Ge Li, and himself together, so he decisively took the initiative to enter Zhi Du Royal City ahead of others, completely severing himself from the two men.

Now, Suo Lun had succeeded, and Luo Ge and Ge Li had abandoned him, Fang Qingshu.

The huge trap that Suo Lun had dug truly buried him, the young master of Yin Zhou.

What fate awaited him now? Fang Qingshu dared not imagine, but without a doubt, being abandoned by Luo Ge and Ge Li was merely the first step.

Would his family stand up against Priest Gu Ban of the Sky for his sake? Fang Qingshu was very pessimistic!

"Take him away!" declared Holy Priest Ge Li.

Then, the four inspectors escorted Fang Qingshu away from the high tower, out of the Zhi Du Sanctuary.

Subsequently, under the supervision of several hundred Holy Temple samurai, Fang Qingshu would be taken to the Yanjing Holy Temple for an internal tribunal.

As for his eventual fate, that depended entirely on the outcome of this tribunal. And the outcome of this tribunal depended entirely on how much Yin Zhou was willing to pay to protect him.

But at the very least, all of Fang Qingshu’s accomplishments in the Hidden Yuan Association, in the Rage Wave Kingdom, turned to naught.

...

At the top of the highest Dragon Tower of the Zhidu Tribunal.

Luo Ge looked at Fu Lingxi with relish. While he found this woman’s beauty and figure quite tempting, he had many concerns that prevented him from acting upon his desires.

This woman’s identity was too special, and the specialness was something she herself was unaware of.

"What brings you to see me?" Luo Ge inquired.

Fu Lingxi said, "In the operation to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor, in the activities of the Demon-Subduing Bureau, although we faced some setbacks, the majority was still successful. At least the discovery of the Hell Knight Ashi Luo was completely the credit of the Zhidu Tribunal. It’s unfair for Priest Gu Ban to completely dismiss our efforts just because of a temporary setback!"

Luo Ge’s eyes narrowed at once.

Fu Lingxi continued, "Huai Bingyi has taken over all actions to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor, but as the person most directly responsible, he has never contacted or transitioned with me. This is clearly a lack of trust in both the Zhi Du Sanctuary and the Zhidu Tribunal!"

Luo Ge couldn’t help but laugh.

Fu Lingxi said, "Several months have passed since the death of Ashi Luo, yet Huai Bingyi has made no progress. I think he needs to take some responsibility. The capture of the World-Ending Demon Emperor and the search for Ashi Luo’s Demon’s Tear should be handed over to us, the Zhidu Tribunal and the Zhi Du Sanctuary."

Luo Ge said, "Fu Lingxi, do you think I should fight with Ge Li and Fang Qingshu against Priest Gu Ban of the Sky to vie for the initiative to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor?"

Fu Lingxi said, "Yes, the situation is now very clear, finding the Demon’s Blood is tantamount to indirectly finding the World-Ending Demon Emperor. And whoever finds and successfully captures the Demon Emperor could ascend to the throne of the Sky Priest. I think neither you nor Lord Ge Li should give up."

Luo Ge’s eyes narrowed and he said, "So you think we should take the initiative to strike and wrest the power to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor from Gu Ban’s hands?"

Fu Lingxi nodded, "Yes, I’ve spent the most time with Ashi Luo, so I have an advantage in searching for the Demon’s Blood."

Luo Ge looked at Fu Lingxi intently; this woman was indeed very clever. She had certainly made some kind of deal with Fang Qingshu.

Suddenly, Luo Ge spoke in a strange tone, "I am aware of the incident with Fang Qingshu destroying Gu Ban’s protective amulet. I didn’t expect you to collaborate with him. You know perfectly well that he aims to doom your son, don’t you?"

Fu Lingxi’s expression trembled, "My discussion pertains to taking the initiative in capturing the World-Ending Demon Emperor, which has nothing to do with Suo Lun."

Luo Ge sighed and said, "It is necessary for me to inform you, Suo Lun has already arrived at Zhi Du Royal City ahead of you, bringing his wife Yan Nai’er to surrender. Thus, although I personally signed the arrest warrant for Yan Nai’er, it was just and correct. As for Fang Qingshu destroying the protective amulet of Priest Gu Ban, it has no connection with the arrest of Yan Nai’er, nor does it have anything to do with me and Ge Li."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lingxi looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turning ashen.

Luo Ge said, "Whether it’s me or Ge Li, we are unified with the Sky Holy Palace, we are absolutely loyal to the leadership of the Sky Holy Palace, and we hold the noble Priest Gu Ban in the highest esteem. We are very indignant about Fang Qingshu’s actions, which is why we have dispatched inspectors to arrest Fang Qingshu and bring him to the Yanjing Holy Temple for trial!"
