Chapter 662 Self-inflicted!
In front of the Great Temple’s doors, a man with triangular eyes was intently watching for any changes in the entrance.
As soon as the doors opened, he would immediately enter and, following Master Dao Kong’s instructions, obtain the treasure chest containing the sacred artifact as quickly as possible.
Hidden behind him, Bai Ran and Su Lengyun were confused by this motionless stranger, unsure of his purpose or intentions.
“Click, click, click…”
At that moment, the two doors of the Great Temple suddenly emitted a stiff creaking sound.
The doors revealed a slight gap once again!
The triangular-eyed man standing before them brightened with excitement, believing the Great Temple was finally opening.
“Whoosh!”
In the next second, a powerful suction force pulled the man inside.
“Clack!”
The two doors closed again.
After waiting several seconds, Bai Ran and Su Lengyun emerged from behind the railing where they had been hiding.
“This man… was also sucked in through the door crack! He didn’t even insert a key…” Bai Ran said in shock.
Su Lengyun furrowed her delicate brows, her beautiful eyes revealing concern.
…
After experiencing a dizzying sensation, the triangular-eyed man arrived in a completely unfamiliar space.
The surroundings were dim, with only a cauldron burning with green flames before him.
Noticing two puppets standing on either side of the cauldron, the triangular-eyed man was startled and tried to back away.
But at that moment, he realized his limbs couldn’t move at all!
Some mysterious force had completely restrained his four limbs!
Was this the interior of the Great Temple? It was completely different from what he had expected!
The Immortal had instructed him to proceed deep inside and retrieve a treasure chest, but now he couldn’t even move a finger!
What was happening?
Judging by the atmosphere around him… his arrival in this place certainly didn’t bode well!
The triangular-eyed man’s heart sank to the bottom.
He never dared suspect that Immortal Dao Kong would deliberately harm him.
But given the current situation… something was definitely wrong!
“You rest. Let me handle this.”
Just then, the triangular-eyed man heard a male voice coming from above.
But due to the mysterious pressure weighing on him, he couldn’t even lift his head.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, light flared from behind the cauldron.
The person appearing behind the cauldron was Fang Yu.
“Your arrival here can’t be called fate. It can only be described as you… or rather the person behind you, bringing this upon yourself,” Fang Yu said calmly, looking at the triangular-eyed man before him.
The man before him only had cultivation at the early Yuan Ying stage. With such limited power, he clearly couldn’t be the true mastermind.
At the same time, Fang Yu sensed a special aura emanating from this man.
It was the unique aura of a Source Devourer…
Half-Spirit Race… Dao Kong!
Fang Yu’s gaze sharpened.
This confirmed that Dao Kong and the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association… at least several high-ranking officials within the association were connected!
And this relationship was very likely one of superior and subordinate.
Connecting this with his previous encounter with Shi Muyu, and the mind-controlled Zhao Jidao…
It was almost certain that Dao Kong’s influence had deeply penetrated various levels of the Martial Arts Association.
“I need to find an opportunity to tell Huaixu about this,” Fang Yu thought.
Strictly speaking, this matter wasn’t directly related to Fang Yu, but for Huaixu, who had dedicated his life to enhancing the influence of the Martial Arts Association, this would definitely be a major issue.
Fang Yu and Huaixu had communicated infrequently in recent years, but their relationship remained good, especially since Huaixu had recently helped Fang Yu significantly.
This matter needed to be brought to his attention.
Meanwhile, hearing Fang Yu’s words, the triangular-eyed man’s face turned pale, his heart pounding violently.
Now he was finally certain that the entire situation had gone wrong!
He hadn’t entered the Great Temple at all! Instead, he had fallen into a trap!
“Who are you!?” the triangular-eyed man shouted at Fang Yu.
“My name is Fang Yu, but to you, the name Fang Changsheng might be more familiar,” Fang Yu smiled.
“Fang Changsheng…” The triangular-eyed man’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this name!
Recently, powerful beings of the Half-Spirit Race had been perishing one after another.
First, it was Celestial Master Fu Yunhe… then Divine Flow Master…
Just a few days ago, news came of two high-level guards, Ming He and Han Meiren, also perishing!
All these deceased individuals were genuinely powerful figures, all capable lieutenants under Immortal Dao Kong!
And the culprit behind these deaths… all pointed to one person, Fang Changsheng!
In other words, this Fang Changsheng was the perpetrator of the Half-Spirit Race’s recent tragedies!
But Immortal Dao Kong seemed preoccupied with other matters lately, and despite Fang Changsheng’s repeated provocations, he hadn’t issued a kill order.
Therefore, other high-level guards and those even higher up hadn’t made any moves to punish Fang Changsheng.
The triangular-eyed man’s position in the Half-Spirit Race was that of an insignificant underling.
Someone like Fang Changsheng, capable of killing high-level guards, was completely beyond his reach.
So, even in his wildest dreams, he never imagined he would stand before Fang Changsheng!
The triangular-eyed man sensed the aura of death.
Though still standing, his entire body trembled violently, his face completely drained of color.
“Dao Kong sent you here, presumably to enter the Great Temple when it opened and retrieve a certain item,” Fang Yu said.
“Y-yes… please spare, spare my life, I don’t know anything…” the triangular-eyed man cried.
“What did he want you to retrieve?” Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes.
“…” The triangular-eyed man wept bitterly but didn’t answer Fang Yu’s question.
“If you won’t speak, I’ll throw you in here,” Fang Yu pointed at the cauldron before them.
Seeing the turbid liquid boiling in the cauldron, the triangular-eyed man completely broke down.
“He, he told me to retrieve a treasure chest… containing a sacred artifact…” the triangular-eyed man said tremblingly.
“Sacred artifact? What sacred artifact?” Fang Yu asked.
“I, I really don’t know… please spare my life, I truly know nothing…” the triangular-eyed man cried out.
Fang Yu was satisfied with the results of his interrogation.
Previously, he had doubts about what was inside the Great Temple.
But now, he was certain.
Dao Kong’s elaborate scheme, the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association’s roundabout approach… all for this so-called sacred artifact!
For Fang Yu, this sacred artifact held no allure whatsoever.
But he still needed to take it.
Because Dao Kong was his enemy.
And anything that would displease his enemy, Fang Yu was willing to do countless times.
“Whether you live or die depends on its decision, not mine,” Fang Yu said indifferently.
After speaking, he turned around, leaped upward, and disappeared from the triangular-eyed man’s sight.
