Ren Baqian sat on a rock in front of the Sea God Temple.
Not far in front of him was Zong Shang, looking in the direction of the temple with a gentle smile on his face.
He had just witnessed a Branch Hall Master enter the Divine Temple.
A gust of wind blew past, and a malnourished, skinny man with dry hair and an abnormally pale face appeared in front of Ren Baqian and Zong Shang. His body was wrapped tightly in a large black coat.
"Deputy Palace Master, why don't you go in?" the man asked with a smile.
"So it's Bo Hai. You can accompany me here to wait for a few people! "Zong Shang immediately smiled.
"I'm fine with it." Bo Hai turned to look at Ren Baqian and asked softly, "What are you trying to do?"
"You'll know soon." Zong Shang smiled and changed the topic.
Bo Hai furrowed his brows and shook his head slightly. "You know my body's condition. I caught a cold on the way here. Let's go in and rest a bit."
After saying that, he cupped his hands at Zong Shang.
Zong Shang's expression darkened and he stopped talking.
He turned around and watched Bo Hai enter the Sea God Temple, his eyes filled with regret.
She wanted to help him, but it was a pity …
Ren Baqian watched everything coldly from the sidelines with a sneer on his face. This was really like the King of Hell telling you to die at midnight, but who would be able to keep you alive until midnight?
However, Zong Shang didn't ask them to stay after the rejection, which made Ren Baqian very satisfied. Zong Shang was very wise to save those that he could and give up on those that he couldn't.
The scariest thing these days was to have a lousy teammate.
If that was the case, he might as well just leave and blow everyone up.
Ren Baqian watched coldly from the sidelines as the people came one by one.
Some people began to stay by Zong Shang's side. Although they were puzzled, they still waited for Zong Shang's explanation.
In the evening, in addition to Zong Shang and Ren Baqian, there were 13 other people waiting outside the Sea God Temple.
This included Xu Wuming and Wen Xiaosheng.
To be honest, Ren Baqian hoped that the two of them would go in so that he could blow them up and make the empress happy.
It could only be said that these two people were not fated to die.
"It's time," Ren Baqian said faintly as he got up from the rock and stretched.
"Vice Palace Master, what's going on?" The one who spoke was a graceful woman in black with a veil over her face. This person was the Fu Shi Palace Master, Fei Yan.
"I have a few words to say to everyone." Zong Shang turned around and said to everyone.
Everyone's eyes narrowed as they knew that the show was about to begin. They had all seen how Zong Shang had been testing the Temple Lord all these years.
These people were either trying to persuade Zong Shang to reconsider or simply standing on his side, which was why they were here.
He didn't know what Zong Shang was going to say.
They wouldn't want to start an internal strife, right? Zong Shang wouldn't be so unwise.
While everyone was pondering, they saw Zong Shang carrying Ren Baqian and speeding away. "Everyone, please take a step forward."
"Hall Master Zong, what are you trying to do?" A figure appeared in front of the Celestial Temple and shouted.
"Qing Yang!" Zong Shang ignored him and didn't stop.
Everyone hesitated for a moment. A few of them gave Qing Yang a look before catching up to him.
Qing Yang's face was filled with anger and resentment. What was this Zong Shang trying to do at this moment?
In the main hall, the Temple Lord's face was gloomy, and his eyes flickered. What exactly was Zong Shang trying to do?
He shouldn't have been kept alive all these years!
The others either closed their eyes and remained silent, or their eyes flickered. Some people thought that Zong Shang was stopping the others outside and wondered if he was going to break ties with the Temple Lord.
Some people were also thinking about Ren Baqian, but unfortunately, there was no way to make him give in. What exactly did the Temple Lord want?
Just as everyone was having all kinds of thoughts and Qing Yang was hesitating whether to catch up, Ren Baqian pressed the button in his hand with a relaxed smile.
At that moment, everyone felt a great sense of danger coming from under their feet. Their hair stood on end as they immediately ran forward with all their might.
A loud, dull sound was heard almost at the same time as the ground shook.
Almost instantly, the Sea God Temple disappeared.
It was replaced by a pillar of fire that soared into the sky, mixed with broken bricks and stones.
The ground was shaking and swaying as if an earth dragon was rolling under their feet. Cracks appeared on the ground as the flames surged underground, looking for a vent, and erupted with mud and gravel.
With a loud sound, holes appeared one after another on the ground, and flames rose into the sky. A large amount of soil burned and turned into a rain of fire in the air.
When they turned around and looked behind them, they saw that the world had completely changed.
The sky was reflected in a fiery red, and the ground was like a nation of fire.
Countless cracks and flames were spread all over it, and they were still increasing without any signs of abating.
The shaking under their feet didn't stop, and noises, screams, and the sound of houses collapsing could be heard from the nearby fishing village.
"This … What the hell is happening?" Everyone turned to look in that direction. The ground and air within a radius of more than a kilometer were filled with pillars of fire, flames, and scorched earth. Accompanied by continuous collapses and explosions, it was like purgatory.
In particular, the original location of the Sea God Temple had become a nation of fire.
Grayish-white smoke and all kinds of dust gradually formed a mushroom-like cloud in the sky along with the flames.
Everyone looked ahead in horror. Ren Baqian, who was wearing sunglasses, felt a little regretful that the explosion had been detonated underground. The scene seemed to be much smaller and less artistic.
However, for these people, this artistic scene was already shocking beyond their expectations.
He could feel that Zong Shang's body had completely stiffened.
Even Zong Shang, one of the initiators, didn't expect the momentum to be so terrifying. This was coming from underground, and the Temple of Heaven was dozens of meters underground.
If it was like this on the surface, then the people underground probably wouldn't even have their bones left.
"Zong Shang! What did you do? " Xu Wuming turned his head to look at Zong Shang and Ren Baqian with a murderous look in his eyes. It seemed like he could draw his sword at any time.
Everyone else also had a horrified look on their faces.
"The chief of the Temple of Heaven isn't a human, but a foreigner! For thousands of years, the Temple of Heaven has been influenced by foreigners and has become a weapon in their hands! "Zong Shang said bluntly.
"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned. Even the scorched earth in front of them didn't shock them as much as this sentence.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Zong Shang, you colluded with outsiders to rebel and even killed the hall chiefs. You are a sinner of the Temple of Heaven! " A sharp shout came from not far away. Qing Yang's body was covered in scorch marks, and his face was covered in dirt. His eyes were flickering.
"Don't you know whether she's a foreigner or not? Do you really think that no one knows what happened 3,000 years ago? "Zong Shang sneered.
"Nonsense!" Qing Yang rebuked, and his eyes flickered even faster.
"I'll let you know and make you die convinced. The evidence that the chief of the Temple of Heaven is a foreigner has always been in my hands. Everyone, follow me!" Zong Shang said to the crowd.
"Hmph, I want to see what evidence you have. You clearly colluded with outsiders to rebel and still tried to deceive us. Zong Shang, you will die a horrible death!" Qing Yang scolded.
"We will soon find out who will die." Zong Shang turned to look at him and sneered. Then, he led the way to the fishing village.
At this time, nearly half of the fishing village had collapsed. Fortunately, the fishing village was made of wooden houses, and it was a distance away from the Sea God Temple. Thus, there were not many casualties. However, people were still panicking. Many powerful people appeared outside the village and looked at the area shrouded in flames with panic on their faces.
When they saw Zong Shang and the others coming over, they calmed down and quickly asked, "Sirs, what happened?"
"Go back first and do what you need to do. Don't panic. We will summon you later." Zong Shang waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.
"Qing Yang!" Xu Wuming suddenly shouted. Everyone turned their heads and saw that Qing Yang, who had been following behind them and getting further and further away, had actually turned around and ran away … Ran away …
After a few flashes, they could no longer see him.
He didn't even dare to confront Zong Shang!
Now that everyone knew what was going on, they immediately believed Zong Shang's words.
Everyone was shocked and angry. They didn't expect the chief of the temple to be a foreigner. They didn't expect Qing Yang's branch to have known about it thousands of years ago. However, he had been hiding it for thousands of years because he was a foreigner.
Xu Wuming's face turned green and red. He shouted angrily and rushed straight into the sky.
In just a moment, everyone felt a majestic sword intent coming from afar.
