Fu Lingxi's breathing stagnated as a trace of fear flashed across her eyes. Her entire body froze.
But she quickly fell into silence. Without saying a word, she raised her hands and let the Sky Paladin put on the shackles.
She had already expected this scene, hadn't she?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to Søren and said those strange words.
However, Fu Lingxi still felt an incomparable fear when the scene unfolded before her eyes. It was a fear that was released from the depths of her soul.
She was a member of the Dragon Temple, a high and mighty person who didn't care about the power of the secular world.
She had completely offended Søren, but even if Søren controlled the entire Raging Wave Kingdom, he could only take revenge on Marquis Fu E and not her, Fu Lingxi.
Even if Søren became the Regent in the future, he still couldn't do anything to Fu Lingxi because she was a member of the Dragon Temple.
But in the face of the power of the Dragon Temple, Fu Lingxi had no way to resist.
Rogo and Ge Li's martial arts were shockingly high.
But when they were arrested, they didn't dare to resist at all. Not to mention the fact that they were being arrested by a Sky Paladin, even if it was an ordinary priest who didn't have the strength to truss a chicken, Rogo and Ge Li could only surrender.
Because everything they had came from the Dragon Temple.
The collective will of the Temple of the Sky couldn't be disobeyed! Only top figures like Rogo and Ge Li knew how powerful the Sky Temple was.
About a few hours ago, Fu Lingxi learned that her name was in Zhi Li's confession.
At that time, Fu Lingxi was very shocked. One had to know that she was only ranked in the top 30 of the Dragon Temple in Fengdu, not a big shot.
Why was she, Fu Lingxi, one of the five names in Zhi Li's confession!
This time, Zhi Li mentioned Gray, Rogo, Fang Qingyi, Fu Lingxi, and a Warlock from the Sanctum's laboratory.
However, among the five of them, the only one who was truly related to the demon's blood was the Warlock in the laboratory. He was the one who stole a portion of the demon's blood and gave it to Fang Qingshu, then passed it on to Zhi Li.
The remaining four were at least innocent in this matter.
Rogo and Fang Qingyi could still be forgiven for Zhi Li's actions. This was to protect the Raging Wave Kingdom.
However, there was only one reason why he would give up a relatively minor character like Fu Lingxi: for Søren.
That's right, Zhi Li was helping Søren take revenge, helping Søren vent his anger.
Søren used to be Zhi Li's greatest enemy, but he was not the person he hated the most!
When all of his ambitions disappeared and all of his lofty aspirations went down the drain, the people Zhi Li hated the most were the Dragon Temple and the Hidden Island.
It was these two forces that turned Zhi Li from a human into a ghost.
And Søren, on the other hand, became a like-minded person.
Zhi Li gave up Fu Lingxi to avenge Søren, reconciling with him and entrusting him to take care of his family and protect the entire Raging Wave Kingdom.
In this matter, Fu Lingxi was really implicated. It was a gift from Zhi Li to Søren.
It was a complete tragedy!
…
With the arrest of Holy Priest Ge Li, Chief Judge Rogge, and Inquisitor Fu Lingxi, the entire Fengdu Divine Temple fell into a panic, as if the sky had fallen.
Most of the people in the Fengdu Divine Temple had never left the Raging Wave Kingdom in their lives. They had never been to the Yanjing Temple, let alone the Temple of the Sky.
To them, the Fengdu Divine Temple was their entire world.
Rogge and Ge Li were their heavens!
Everyone in the Fengdu Divine Temple thought that even if the Raging Wave Kingdom was destroyed, the Fengdu Divine Temple would be safe and sound, and the two Supremes, Rogge and Ge Li, would remain unmoved.
But now, these two Supremes were actually arrested.
It was really collapsing. Everyone was in a state of panic, as if the end of the world had come.
And it was obvious that the arrest of these three people was just the beginning.
Next, the Yanjing Temple's inspectors would enter the Fengdu Divine Temple, and that would be the real start of the purge.
When the tree was uprooted, it was unknown how many Inquisitors, priests, and cultivators would suffer.
According to past examples, the fall of a Holy Priest basically meant the arrest of thousands of people. And half of them would be burned alive.
This was also the unspoken rule of the Dragon Temple. The fall of a Holy Priest meant that at least three thousand people would be buried with him.
How many Holy Priests were there in the entire human world? There were only about twenty of them!
And this time, the Chief Judge and the Holy Priest had fallen together. How many people in the Fengdu Divine Temple would die? Only the heavens would know!
Without a doubt, everyone who was close to the two Supremes would not be able to escape.
And this time, it was the highest Saintess of the Temple of the Sky who had stirred up a monstrous case. Behind her stood the overlord of the world, the Yan Empire, and at least three Sky Priests.
At that time, perhaps half of the high-ranking members of the Fengdu Divine Temple would be annihilated.
A real purge, a catastrophe!
…
Ge Li, Rogge, and Fu Lingxi were arrested!
Zhi Li was dead!
Half an hour later, Søren officially received the news.
Then, he was stunned for a few minutes!
Although Søren once had extravagant hopes and fantasies about this result, when it really happened, he was completely shocked!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Ji Soo-ning was really amazing, too amazing!
Today, the monstrous case was really stirred up by her.
She actually used her own strength to fight against the Hidden Continent and Fengdu Temple, the two colossal beings, and even had the Demon Continent behind her.
What kind of willpower was that? How difficult was that? How complicated was the relationship of interest in this matter?
She actually did it!
At this time, Søren finally understood why Fu Lingxi came to see him and said such strange things.
However, he only understood half of it. There was still the other half that he did not understand.
Fu Lingxi said that a completely despicable and shameless person wanted to feel the warmth and guilt of a noble person.
This was something that Søren could understand. Just like Zhi Li's last moments, because of his wife Fang Qingzhuo's humanity, there was a trace of warmth in his heart, and he no longer completely despaired of this world.
Therefore, before he died, Zhi Li also chose to use his life to protect the Raging Wave Kingdom, to protect his wife and daughter, and to protect the entire Si Family.
Moreover, his confession actually included Fu Lingxi?
Without a doubt, this action of Zhi Li was an expression of goodwill towards Søren, to avenge Søren.
However, after Søren refused to release Fu E and refused to give Fu Lingxi the last bit of warmth, she actually heaved a sigh of relief. This was something that Søren could not understand.
…
Søren ordered a pot of wine and poured two cups.
"Brother Zhi Li, I have received your message. I will protect the Raging Wave Kingdom and protect your family. This cup of wine is for you!"
Then, Søren poured the first cup of wine on the ground.
The other cup of wine, he drank it in one gulp!
After drinking, Søren let out a long sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.
It was really all right. All the crises of the Raging Wave Kingdom had passed. There would no longer be any danger!
Originally, even if Søren had recovered the 11 million gold coins in reserve, even if he had foiled the rebellion plot of the city guards, even if he had filled the deficit of the national treasury by confiscating the properties of the corrupt and influential officials, the danger of the Raging Wave Kingdom still existed.
The Hidden Island would not let it go and would definitely retaliate.
The Fengdu Sanctum would also not let it go and would definitely retaliate.
Moreover, the moment Princess Jung Yeon ascended to the throne, perhaps the Yan Empire and the Western Liang Kingdom would become restless.
Søren still had to tread on thin ice, and the entire Raging Wave Kingdom was still in danger.
But now, all the dangers had disappeared!
The Hidden Island and the Fengdu Sanctum were already in a huge crisis. They could not even protect themselves, so it was impossible for them to find trouble with the Raging Wave Kingdom.
As for the Yan Empire, they were focused on dealing with the Fengdu Sanctum and the Hidden Island, so it was impossible for them to invade the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Even if it was necessary, the royal family of the Yan Empire would still form an alliance with the Raging Wave Kingdom to deal with the Hidden Island and the Fengdu Sanctum together.
Without the Yan Empire, it was even more impossible for the Western Liang Kingdom to cross thousands of miles of desert to attack the Raging Wave Kingdom!
Not only that, the high-level struggle of the Dragon Temple this time was a protracted struggle that would not end without two or three years.
Now, it was just the beginning!
Perhaps some people would say that there was something wrong with Zhi Li's confession at first glance. It was obvious that he wanted to protect the Raging Wave Kingdom, and he framed him to cause an internal struggle in the Dragon Temple.
Of course, many people could see this, including Saintess Ji Soo-ning. She could see the flaws in this confession at a glance.
However, Zhi Li was dead, and this flaw was equivalent to disappearing.
Moreover, was Saintess Ji Xiuning really causing such a monstrous case just for a tube of Evil Demon Blood?
Of course not!
Feng Li's demon blood was only one of her reasons, and it was only the fuse that detonated this earth-shattering change.
Her purpose was to completely rectify the dark forces of the Dragon Temple and thoroughly clean up the corruption of the high-level officials of the Dragon Temple.
After thousands of years, whether it was the Fengdu Sanctum, the Western Liang Sanctum, or the Norland Sanctum, they were no longer bright and righteous. They had completely fallen and were filthy.
The Four Secret Continents were even more evil, dark, and unfathomable.
Not only that, the Four Secret Continents and the local sanctums had completely colluded, and they had completely become too big to be dealt with.
Every time the Temple of the Sky issued an order, the local sanctums would pretend to obey but secretly oppose.
What happened to Aslo made Ji Soo-ning shudder!
If it were not for the darkness of the world, would the Four Secret Continents of the Dragon Temple be so evil? How could Aslo become a Hell Knight?
Aslo had never seen the World Destroyer Demon Emperor, but in the end, he was willing to die to be loyal to the World Destroyer Demon Emperor and strengthen his dark faith.
If there were thousands of Aslo, then the entire Dragon Temple would be completely destroyed, and the entire human civilization would be destroyed.
Ji Soo-ning could understand that the Dragon Temple used a rather special method to rule the human world, so there were the Four Secret Continents.
But now, the Four Secret Continents had become completely evil, and had become the dark back garden of the Dragon Temple.
When Aslo became a male pet, how many Dragon Temple Saint Priests had enjoyed his body?
Every year, how many handsome virgin boys and girls disappeared from the human kingdoms and were sent to the Elf Continent, to the Hidden Island?
Every year, how many lands in the human kingdoms became the private property of the Four Secret Continents? Every year, how many landlords and farmers in the human kingdoms went bankrupt?
Every year, the Dragon Temple expanded, and every year, there were people joining the Dragon Temple. They didn't work, but they wanted to live a luxurious life. They were completely lying on the human kingdoms and sucking blood.
At this rate of development, there would be a day when the Divine Dragon Temple would overwhelm the entire human kingdom.
All these dark secrets made Ji Soo-ning decide that no matter what price she had to pay, she had to pierce through the sky and cleanse this dark filth completely. She had to return the human kingdoms to peace, and let the people restore their faith in the Dragon Temple.
From Ji Soo-ning's point of view, it was still not too late to act now. When this dark corruption seeped into the core area of the Dragon Temple, it would be too late!
So, this shocking case was just the beginning of the internal struggle of the Dragon Temple!
The righteous faction represented by Ji Soo-ning, and the evil faction led by the Four Secret Continents, would have an extremely fierce battle in the coming days.
At that time, how many people would fall? How many people would die?
Only God knew!
Even whether Ji Soo-ning could keep her position as the Saintess, whether she could successfully become a Sky Priest, and whether she could successfully assume the leadership position of the Dragon Temple was still unknown.
But what was certain was that in the next few years, the Raging Wave Kingdom would be safe!
These few years would be Søren's golden time.
In these few years, Søren would completely clean up the Hidden Island's infiltration in the Raging Wave Kingdom, carry out a certain degree of internal reform, and restore the whole kingdom to prosperity.
Moreover, he would strive to build the Southern Punitive Camp within five years, gather 800,000 troops, and attack the Barbarian Territory to continue the expansion strategy of the Raging Wave Kingdom!
In the next 20 years, Søren would offer half of Tianshui City's territory as the kingdom's Southern Punitive Camp!
Everything was for the Raging Wave Kingdom!
In 20 years, Søren must double the territory of the Raging Wave Kingdom!
…
"Master, the Hidden Island's Fang Qingdi requests to see you!" Zhuang Zhixuan said.
Søren could not help but be stunned.
Fang Qingdi? The sister of Fang Qingzhuo, Ji Mengbai's wife?
Why did the Hidden Island send her here at this time? Looking for trouble with the Raging Wave Kingdom? Impossible, now that the Hidden Island was facing a huge crisis, they would not have the leisure to look for trouble with Søren.
"Invite her in," Søren said.
A moment later, a pair of fairy-like lovers entered the palace.
Søren saw Fang Qingdi!
In terms of appearance and figure, Fang Qingdi and Meng Tuoluo were comparable, both were stunning beauties.
But in terms of style, this Fang Qingdi was definitely a stunner.
She looked very gentle and beautiful, and her temperament was somewhat similar to Fang Qingzhuo, both were very gentle, as gentle as water.
Fang Qingzhuo's gentleness was virtuous and kind, while the Fang Qingdi in front of him hid a hidden charm, even seductive!
Speaking of which, her temperament was somewhat similar to Fu Lingxi's.
As for the Ji Mengbai beside her, he really made people feel inferior and ashamed at a glance.
This was the most handsome man Søren had ever seen, even more so than Fang Qingshu and Søren.
Moreover, his temperament was noble, as if he was untainted by even a speck of dust, really making people wonder if he was a celestial being.
In short, this was definitely the most handsome man Søren had ever seen!
No wonder Meng Tuoluo was so infatuated with him, turning from a fairy into a witch for this man.
Even after falling into depravity and becoming a Black Widow, she still couldn't forget this man.
This man was really the kind of man that women would fly into like moths to a flame at first sight.
Purely in terms of appearance, his lethality to women was even higher than Søren's.
However, Ji Mengbai was clearly very low-key, always following behind his wife Fang Qingdi, with a harmless smile on his face.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Søren." Fang Qingdi bowed meticulously.
Søren stood up and said, "Greetings, Miss Fang Qingdi, greetings, Young Master Ji Mengbai."
Fang Qingdi said, "My elder brother Fang Qingyi once rudely offended Your Excellency Søren. We, the Hidden Island, are very sorry. To express our apology, the debt of more than four million gold coins that the Raging Wave Kingdom owes the Yinyuan Association will be written off from today onwards."
As expected, the Hidden Island, which was facing a huge problem, didn't have any intention of denouncing them. Instead, they took the initiative to express goodwill.
However, Søren didn't intend to repay this debt.
"Thank you, Miss Fang Qingdi." Søren said.
Fang Qingdi said, "May I ask if we can visit my younger brother Fang Qingyi?"
"Of course." Søren said, "I'll send someone to bring you to him!"
Next, Søren sent an Imperial Guard to bring Fang Qingdi and Ji Mengbai to the prison to visit Fang Qingyi!
An hour later, Fang Qingdi finished her visit and left the prison.
From start to finish, she only visited Fang Qingyi for a few minutes.
She didn't ask to take Fang Qingyi away because it was impossible. Very soon, a Sky Holy Knight would come to take Fang Qingyi away. He was on the list of five people Zhi Li gave him.
After Fang Qingdi and Ji Mengbai left the prison, Fang Qingyi sent someone to ask to see Søren. He also asked Søren to bring him a steamed bun and a bowl of red braised pork.
…
Søren brought three steamed buns, a pot of wine, and a bowl of red braised pork. The pig hair on the meat hadn't even been shaved yet.
When he arrived at the prison, he saw Fang Qingyi again.
He had only been imprisoned for five days, and Søren even came to see him yesterday.
But now, Fang Qingyi seemed to have aged twenty years.
Yesterday, when he looked at Sauron, his gaze was still high and mighty, filled with pride and arrogance.
But today, his gaze was unfocused, tired, and filled with despair.
His hair was like withered grass, and his beard had grown nearly half a centimeter. He looked incomparably bleak and dispirited!
"Did you bring the red braised pork and steamed buns?" Seeing Søren, Fang Qingyi asked anxiously.
Søren said, "I brought them, but I need to make sure if I can give them to you. If you die immediately after eating them, you'll drag my Raging Wave Kingdom down with you. "
"Hehe …" Fang Qingyi said, "Now, no one wants to drag the Raging Wave Kingdom down. Ji Soo-ning is too arrogant and doesn't want to drag the Raging Wave Kingdom down with her. Our Hidden Island already finds it difficult to deal with the Yan Empire and Ji Soo-ning. We don't want to provoke another Raging Wave Kingdom. I'm really too hungry, please give me some food. "
Søren handed over the red braised pork, steamed buns, and wine.
Fang Qingyi, who had always lived a luxurious life, immediately wolfed down the food.
He grabbed the steamed bun with one hand and picked up the red braised pork with the other. He ate a big piece at a time, almost unable to chew.
He didn't even look at such crude food before, but now it was like a supreme delicacy.
A mouthful of steamed bun, a piece of meat, and a mouthful of wine.
Fang Qingyi, who was extremely hungry, devoured everything in just four to five minutes.
Three big steamed buns, a catty and a half of red braised pork, and a catty of wine.
After eating, he licked the oil on his fingers reluctantly, as if he hadn't finished half of it.
Seeing this, Søren's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said, "If you're not full, I can ask someone to send you another portion."
Fang Qingyi exhaled comfortably, leaned back against the wall, and patted his stomach with his hand, saying, "This is the most delicious meal I've ever had. It's too comfortable. I'm indeed not full, only 70% full. But it's just right. Going too far is as bad as falling short!"
Yes, going too far is as bad as falling short. When the moon is full, the water will overflow.
"Thank you, Søren, for giving me such a supreme delicacy," Fang Qingyi said.
"You're welcome," Søren said.
Fang Qingyi let out a long sigh, "Søren, I'm going to die. Three days later, I'm going to die!"
