At the Saint Temple.
Zhao Tianyin, who had survived, slowly woke up from his near-death state.
A tingling pain came from his chest, stimulating him to quickly regain consciousness. His eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted, "I did not lose!"
Slap!
A loud slap landed on his face, and at the same time, a cold voice poured into his ears. "Awake?"
Zhao Tianyin stared at the person in front of him and immediately sobered up. "Temple Master!"
The Saint Temple Master's face was cold and gloomy. "Humph! Do you still respect me as the Temple Master? "
"In the arena, you did not even listen to me and used the forbidden technique twice. Did you know that the Saint Lady Temple Mistress and the Wang Clan Master were already suspicious? Did you know that the Sect Master was probably watching at the time? " The Temple Master's eyes were murderous. "I have repeatedly reminded you that practicing the forbidden technique of the wizard tribe is an act of treason. Once discovered, you will die! You actually lost your mind and used the forbidden technique twice in a row! "
Zhao Tianyin defended himself. "But if I didn't do that, how could I defeat Su Yu? If I didn't defeat him, how could I suppress the Saint Lady Temple? "
Slap!
What answered him was another loud slap in the face.
"Humph! You did it for yourself! " The Temple Master scolded. "Don't think I don't know that you just can't stand Su Yu stepping on your head, so you took the risk!"
Zhao Tianyin's face was defiant, and his arrogance was hidden in his bones.
Seeing this, the Temple Master said contemptuously, "You really think you are a genius after being praised by others? Your qualifications were forcibly enhanced by the forbidden technique you practiced. In terms of real level, you are only comparable to Wang Qingchen! In front of me, put away your arrogance. Without me helping you practice the forbidden technique, you are now just a pile of mud! "
Zhao Tianyin's face changed dramatically, and a pale color appeared on his face. He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and his eyes changed dramatically.
Slap!
At this time, another loud slap landed on his face, sending him flying.
"Kneel!"
Zhao Tianyin's eyes were full of humiliation, and his fists clenched even tighter. Finally, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
The Temple Master said coldly, "Do you think you are strong enough to resist me now? Remember, everything you have was given to you by this Palace Master. As long as I am willing, I can beat you down to the mortal world at any time! "
Zhao Tianyin lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Only then did the Temple Lord's expression soften slightly. He said, "Now, I need to send you on a mission. Send this item to the Black Wood Forest outside of Fan Capital. This item will lead you to a location where someone will be waiting for you. Just hand this item over to him."
It was a sealed scroll that contained the Temple Master's sorcery power. Unless one's strength was above his, no one would be able to open it.
Even if it was forcefully opened, it would cause the Wizard Power within to self-destruct and destroy the scroll. It would never fall into the hands of an outsider.
"Yes!" Zhao Tianyin received it with both hands.
"Let's move out quickly. We can't delay."
Zhao Tianyin stood up and immediately left the hall.
The moment he left, a cold light filled the depths of his eyes.
The Black Wood Forest ran between the Saint Capital and the Fan Capital. Ferocious beasts roamed freely, and there was no lack of Level Three Ferocious beasts.
It was difficult for an ordinary wizard to return alive after entering the depths of the Black Wood Forest alone without the protection of a group of strong men.
However, on this day, two extraordinarily handsome young men were treading on the green leaves of the forest. They were walking leisurely and carefreely, like two fairies walking in the mortal world.
"Brother Su, ahead of us is the outpost set up by Fan Capital in the Black Wood Forest. It has a flying ferocious beast, the Wizard Phoenix, which is extremely fast. It can save us a lot of time and unnecessary trouble," Xueying said.
Su Yu said, "I'll listen to your arrangements."
Along the way, he followed Xueying's advice and took a route that had very few ferocious beasts.
At least, Su Yu sensed that they had avoided the territories of several powerful ferocious beasts. It was obvious that Xueying was familiar with Fan Capital, just as the Saint Lady had said.
Su Yu trusted him very much.
Xueying nodded, his crystal-like eyes sparkling with a strange joy.
Swish!
After half a cup of tea's time, the two arrived at the outpost.
Rather than calling it a outpost, it was more like a village in the forest.
The dangerous Black Wood Forest was isolated by a powerful fence, and ferocious beasts could not enter.
Su Yu glanced at it. There was a large population, and more than half of it was the garrison army sent by Fan Capital.
However, the other half were wizards of all kinds. Judging from their attire, they came from different tribes or regions.
Xueying explained with a faint smile, "Although the ferocious beasts in the Black Wood Forest are dangerous, their hair, bones, internal organs, and even souls are the best treasures for practicing sorcery. Therefore, there is no shortage of wizards from all regions who come to the Black Wood Forest to hunt ferocious beasts! However, the Black Wood Forest is full of danger, and safe areas are extremely rare. Such outposts have naturally become the first choice of the wizards, which is why the outpost is so lively. "
Su Yu was deep in thought. "In a sense, the outpost should be the military organization of Fan Capital. It is a confidential place, and it allows different creatures to enter and leave at will. Isn't that a major loophole?"
Upon hearing that, Xueying smiled bitterly. "Haven't we thought of what you said? In order to obtain resources, the Chu Clan of Fan Capital allows wizards in the Black Wood Forest to enter the outpost to replenish their supplies after paying a certain amount of resources. In the long run, there will be trouble. "
"However, Fan Capital only listens to the Sect Master. The Saint Lady Temple has no control over them."
Upon hearing that, Su Yu said, "Birds die for food, and men die for wealth. Sooner or later, Fan Capital will harm others and themselves."
After saying that, the two of them walked to the outpost's prohibition.
The scout inside the prohibition had already discovered the two of them. After confirming that they were not transformed demonic beasts, he relaxed his guard and said, "Do you know the rules?"
Xueying took out two high-grade beast bones and tossed them over.
The scout reached out and caught them, his eyes full of admiration. "What a good piece of top-grade beast bone. This is a treasure for crafting high-grade wizard tools. Alright, you are allowed to enter the city."
Su Yu shook his head as he watched. This kind of precaution was as good as nothing.
If anyone wanted to harm the outpost, it would be a piece of cake.
"Hey, another one." As soon as Su Yu and the others stepped into the outpost, another wizard came from the Black Wood Forest.
He was dressed in a black robe, and only his eyes were exposed.
He stepped forward and threw out a precious beast's eye without saying a word.
"Haha, another good treasure. Go in."
Su Yu subconsciously looked back at him, and his pupils shrank slightly. Then, he pretended as if nothing had happened and turned back.
Xueying noticed that Su Yu's expression was strange. He was about to look back, but Su Yu grabbed his arm and pulled him into a wooden house at the side.
"Brother Su …" Xueying said.
Su Yu gestured for him to keep quiet. Xueying had a strange look on his face, and his body squirmed a little. Then, he remained motionless and followed Su Yu's gaze.
Soon, a black-robed figure walked through the alley.
Although it was only a glance, Xueying recognized the person and was surprised.
When the black-robed figure had completely left, Xueying said in shock, "The Saint Zhao Tianyin? Why is he here? "
Su Yu stared at him. "Is it strange for the Saint to leave the Saint Temple?"
"It's not strange, but it's definitely unusual! Without the permission of the Saint Temple, the Saint is not allowed to leave the Saint Capital, and the same goes for the Saint Lady Temple. "
Su Yu was surprised. "Is that so? This is not the first time your Saint has left the Saint Capital. Two years ago, he left the Lost Nation and went to the God Realm. "
Upon hearing that, Xueying was shocked. "How is that possible? Two years ago, the Saint Temple announced to the public that the Saint was in isolation. How could he have reached the God Realm? "
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu voiced his doubts. "It was during that period of time that I accidentally found out about some things. It seemed like your Saint had infiltrated many people of the God Realm into the great army of the God Realm. They were helping him collect souls and cultivate some forbidden wizard techniques."
"Forbidden techniques?" Xueying was puzzled. "As far as I know, the sorcery of the Wizard Tribe is all inherited from the Wizard Ancestor. There is no such thing as a forbidden technique."
Oh? Su Yu was a little surprised.
If the forbidden technique that the Saint was cultivating was not a forbidden technique of the Wizard Tribe, then what was it?
"Should we follow him?" Xueying asked.
Su Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. "There's no need to follow him. Just wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
With a shift of thought, Su Yu concealed his figure and aura at the same time and followed Zhao Tianyin silently.
Xueying's eyes flickered and she muttered in surprise, "His Divine Path is getting more and more powerful. I could see through his invisibility technique at the relic of the Ice Sealed River, but now I can't sense him at all."
How could she know that there was a Fragment of the Rules in Su Yu's body that was constantly fusing with his body?
After being tempered by the Rules, his Divine Path had become more solid and profound. It carried a faint aura of the Rules, so it was normal that she couldn't see through it.
Along the way, Su Yu found that Zhao Tianyin had come to a secret wooden hut in the station.
Through his Transparent Eye, he saw that Zhao Tianyin was handing a sealed scroll to a mysterious black-robed man.
The mysterious black-robed man left the place without saying a word after receiving the scroll.
Zhao Tianyin stayed where he was for a moment before leaving as well.
When he returned to the alley, Xueying was leaning against the wall in boredom. He was twirling his hair around his fingers in a feminine way and humming a melodious tune.
Su Yu appeared and looked at him in surprise. At this moment, Xueying was behaving like a woman.
Xueying was startled by his silent appearance and screamed involuntarily. His voice sounded more like a woman's.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
A trace of panic flashed across Xueying's face, but he quickly regained his composure and his voice returned to normal. He asked hurriedly, "How is it?"
"Zhao Tianyin is here. He seems to have met up with someone and handed something to that person," Su Yu said.
Xueying pondered. "Did you see the identity of the person who met up with him?"
"No, he hid himself very well. He seems to be a wizard," Su Yu said.
Xueying thought for a moment and said, "Inform the Mistress of the Saint Lady Temple about this and let them investigate. Let's not waste any more time here."
The two of them left quickly after a while.
What they didn't know was that not long after they left, a black-robed figure appeared soundlessly at the place where they appeared. Who else could it be other than Zhao Tianyin with those arrogant and domineering eyes?
In his hand was a small golden figure that looked very similar to the Sect Master's Oracle.
The difference was that this object wasn't used to deliver edicts. Instead, it had an extremely powerful sensing effect on non-wizard living beings.
"Su Yu? What an unexpected discovery! "Zhao Tianyin said coldly, his eyes filled with hatred.
He had suffered a crushing defeat at the Saint Lady's Son-in-Law Recruitment. His years of reputation had been destroyed overnight, and the confidence he had built up over the years had vanished.
All of this had happened because of Su Yu!
