”My beloved son enjoyed tea culture, so came to this place.”
Wuqiong Bi stared into her husband's eyes as if she was staring at her foe. She hatefully spat, ”What do you still need to investigate? What more evidence do you need? Or is it that you still can't believe that the His Holiness the Pope you so admire has killed your son? Or is that you don't even dare to take vengeance for your son, so are doing your best to explain things for him?”
Bie Yanghong still said nothing. Turning around, he entered a restaurant by the river.
He knew that his son had stopped here for some time, and he wanted to know what had happened.
But regretfully, there was no one he could ask.
The restaurant was full of corpses.
He quickly left the restaurant. Relying on the sliver of heavenly mystery that he had forcefully calculated, he found his target on a boat in the river used for transporting tea.
That person did not give him a chance to ask any questions. The moment they saw him flying through the air, they took in poison and died, their face carrying a wretched, despairing, and bizarre smile.
Bie Yanghong recognized this person.
Priest Xin of the Hall of Announcements had played a very important role in the revival of the Orthodox Academy.
As he gazed at Priest Xin's corpse, Bie Yanghong maintained his silence.
Wuqiong Bi angrily yelled, ”What are you still waiting for? Better to quickly kill Chen Changsheng!”
Bie Yanghong's silence persisted for yet longer, and then he finally said, ”Chen Changsheng is the Pope.”
”And just what is the Pope? Are you afraid?”
Wuqiong Bi wept and cried, ”I am not afraid! I'll butcher that black dragon… I'll rip out her muscles! Peel off her skin!”

South Stream Temple wanted to close the temple for ten years, cutting itself off from the world?
This news was certain to shake the entire continent, but for the moment, it had not been spread very far. The Imperial Court's diplomatic mission and those great sects and noble clans who had arrived at Holy Maiden Peak last night had been informed of this matter in advance. They had naturally made ample preparations to assist the three martial grandaunts of South Stream Temple in resisting the pressure of the Orthodoxy.
The Imperial Court's diplomatic mission was led by the Prince of Xiang. This prince had broken into the Divine Domain not too long ago and was currently at the peak of his strength. In addition, the Old Lady of the Mutuo clan and the head of the Wu clan had also personally come. The Longevity Sect had sent one elder and several disciples, and then if one also took into account small sects like Gentle Stream Monastery, Singing Water Temple, and the Blazing Sun Sect, there were around one thousand people in attendance.
The Li Palace's response was far inferior. They had only sent a bishop from a missionary church located in the south. Scholartree Manor and Mount Li were closer, so although they had learned of the news a little late, they arrived at the same time, alleviating the situation slightly. Scholartree Manor had sent one of its vice principals and disciples like Zhong Hui. On the other hand, the Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect needed to stabilize his cultivation, and the experts of the Sword Hall were still on the northern border so as to intimidate the demon experts, so Mount Li had sent Gou Hanshi and ten-some other disciples. Gou Hanshi was only a second-generation disciple, but he had a very steady personality, was well-versed in the Daoist Canon, had a vast store of knowledge, and was profoundly skilled in the sword. Many people were quite optimistic about his future, especially since Qiushan Jun had now been missing for five years, making him the most likely candidate to be the next Sect Master.
