Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 724 - 465: Rescuing Xu Feng (3)

This question instantly hit the sore spot.

The playful expression on Xu Feng's face slowly faded, replaced by unprecedented solemnity.

"This matter... is a long story." He took a deep breath, looking intensely at Lin Chen, "Brother Lin, do you remember the Ancient Book you gave me in Celestial Realm City?"

Lin Chen nodded, a slight ripple rising in his heart.

Could it be that all of this is truly connected to that mysterious Ancient Book?

"The Ancient Book records an earth-shattering secret!" Xu Feng's voice was pressed extremely low, speaking mysteriously: "The book says... there's an Immortal above the Immortals!"

"The history we know, this world we live in, might be only a small part of it!"

"Apart from our Cangling Ancient Country, similar records about the 'Immortal of Immortals' exist in the Nanfen Ancient Country!"

"And these records, these clues pointing to the true ancient core, according to my deduction, are very likely hidden within the Ah Tuo Sect."

After speaking, Xu Feng solemnly handed the ancient leather scroll snatched from the Divine Envoy back into Lin Chen's hands.

...

Meanwhile, in Holy City Aman, deep within the palace that symbolizes supreme divine authority.

Inside the cold hall, five enforcing Divine Envoies were all kneeling on the ground, trembling, not daring to breathe heavily.

In front of them, a middle-aged man donned in a blue, gold-rimmed divine robe, with a grim face, stood with his back to them, coldly watching the burning holy fire in the hall.

He is not the Pope, but his status is below the Pope, above millions, and can even be equal to the Vice Sect Hierarch; he is the Great Divine Officer of the Ah Tuo Sect –

Reese.

"Useless! A bunch of useless fools!"

Reese slowly turned around, his hawk-like eyes emitting a murderous chill, making the five Divine Envoies bow their heads even lower.

"Originally, he was caught, the Holy Map was in hand, yet you five allowed him to be saved by a mere outsider?!"

The lead Divine Envoy trembled as he replied: "Great Divine Officer, please calm your anger! It was truly... a mysterious powerful figure suddenly appeared halfway through, with terrifying strength, we... we were not the match..."

"Have you ascertained the identity of the opponent?" Reese's voice was as cold as falling ice shards.

"Temporarily... still unknown. But from their conversation, it seems to be someone from Cangling Ancient Country."

Seeing the anger in Reese intensifying, the lead Divine Envoy quickly added:

"Rest assured, Great Divine Officer! We will now go all out to investigate, even if we have to turn Nanfen Ancient Country upside down, we will surely find them!"

"Wait."

Reese suddenly stopped them. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Now, if we go, they may already have run far away. Searching like a needle in a haystack, what meaning does it hold?"

His voice returned to calm, but the chill beneath such calmness was even more terrifying.

"Issue my command, immediately seal all passes and cities nationwide, imposing the highest Level of martial law!"

"Your main focus should be the Sacred Ceremony a month from now, for the Saint Heir's pilgrimage!"

"Yes!" Five people answered in unison.

"Remember," Reese's gaze swept over the five faces, his voice eerie, "There must be no mistakes during this pilgrimage ceremony! If any vermin from the Cangling Ancient Country dare disturb the ceremony..."

He paused, his lips curling into a cruel arc.

"The Pope, in wrath, what consequences may ensue, I suppose I won't need to protect you anymore."

"Yes! We will obey!"

The five Divine Envoies knelt and kowtowed fervently, cold sweat soaking their backs.
