King of Creation-Chapter 1623 - 1608: Slaughter at the Temple

What Ye Zhen found bizarre was that the sensation of being stuck in a quagmire was only in his lower body, which remained underground. His upper body, which had already emerged from the ground, did not feel this at all.

At this moment, Ye Zhen had no time to ponder this difference. Having emerged above ground, Ye Zhen gave a slight struggle to completely free himself from the earth.

Immediately, Ye Zhen felt a weight lift from his heart. The sensation of standing firmly on the ground restored his confidence.

As for the reason behind this difference, it was likely that Ye Zhen, while underground, had accidentally triggered some kind of restriction beneath the temple of the Heavenly Temple Branch with his Divine Sense, which in turn activated the Creation Spirit Light.

However, such restrictions did not exist on the surface.

Even so, Ye Zhen’s wariness towards the Heavenly Temple increased to its peak in an instant.

In a short period of time, Ye Zhen had warned himself countless times that whenever he faced the Heavenly Temple in the future, he must be extremely cautious.

Especially today, as Ye Zhen had been careless.

The Mirage Dragon Pearl on Ye Zhen’s chest trembled slightly, reminding him of its sensitivity to this place.

It was at this moment that Ye Zhen felt a sudden chill around him, as if many people were watching him simultaneously. Looking up, he was taken aback.

The spot where he had emerged was rather unfortunate, right at the main square in front of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace of the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch.

At this moment, dozens of Heavenly Temple Great Spirit Masters were floating in the sky, looking down on Ye Zhen with varied expressions.

Some looked puzzled, some amused, some disdainful, and some indifferent, with eyes resembling those looking at a dead man.

Moreover, the number of Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters and Grand Spirit Masters flying towards the sky kept increasing.

Soon, Ye Zhen realized he was heavily surrounded!

"Audacious fiend, our Heavenly Temple always keeps its doors open; if you wished to enter our branch temple, you could have walked in through the front door, yet you chose to sneak in from underground!

Tell us, what are you planning?" Abbot Zhaoshi, having pursued from the underground, saw Ye Zhen was surrounded but didn’t act immediately, instead shouting angrily.

Since he was discovered and surrounded, Ye Zhen decided not to hide anymore.

"You must be the abbot of the Shahe City Branch, Zhaoshi?" Ye Zhen’s gaze fell on the man with a fat face and big ears, "I came for you."

"What do you want with me?"

"Of course, to kill you!"

Ye Zhen’s words caused surprise in Zhao Shi, who then couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Zhen, "Just you?"

"What, do you think I’m not qualified?" Ye Zhen was not in a hurry at this moment; since he was surrounded, a fierce battle was inevitable.

"A mere Fifth Stage of Divine Communication Realm trash dares to threaten my life? Ha, this must be the most ridiculous joke I’ve heard in my life....."

Before Abbot Zhaoshi of the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch could finish laughing, his voice was interrupted by the exaggerated sound of teeth chattering behind him.

The sound of teeth chattering was just too exaggerated.

Zhaoshi turned around and frowned, "Yong Kun?"

"Abbot, he... he... is the notorious Ye... Ye Zhen, who killed our Divine Master Canghe, nearly a hundred Great Spirit Masters, and over a thousand Spirit Masters!" Governor Yong Kun stammered through his chattering teeth, causing Zhaoshi’s expression to shift to incredulity as he looked at Ye Zhen!

Zhaoshi couldn’t help but take this seriously; losing a hundred Great Spirit Masters and a thousand Spirit Masters meant they’d lost half of the Shahe City Branch’s power.

"It really... is him... boom!"

Just as Abbot Zhaoshi started to doubt, realizing the situation, he kicked Governor Yong Kun away angrily and said, "Utter nonsense! Clearly, it was your dereliction during the battle that led to such a catastrophe, and now you’re making up excuses to evade punishment!"

"Abbot, it’s true, I..."

"Take him away and imprison him!" Without letting Yong Kun say more, Abbot Zhaoshi decisively waved his hand, and two trusted aides swiftly apprehended Yong Kun, dislocating his jaw and dragging him away.

Truth be told, if it weren’t for receiving an emergency Talisman Communication, Zhaoshi wouldn’t have believed what Yong Kun said.

But the truth was, Yong Kun was telling the truth.

The problem was if this person in front of them was indeed so terrifying, letting Yong Kun continue his warnings would deter his followers; how many would dare attack Ye Zhen?

"Who here will capture this insolent fool for me!" After dealing with Yong Kun, Zhaoshi immediately commanded.

As the Abbot, his declaration immediately prompted hundreds of Spirit Masters and Great Spirit Masters to step forward, eager to deal with Ye Zhen and make a name for themselves in front of the Abbot.

In principle, with Ye Zhen at the mid-stage of Divine Communication Realm, a mid-stage Spirit Master would suffice. However, Abbot Zhaoshi set his sights on a Great Spirit Master.

"Ru Hui, show them what you’re capable of." Finally, Zhaoshi chose a Great Spirit Master at the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm, just to be safe!

"I accept the abbot’s decree!" The Great Spirit Master named Ru Hui accepted the order, subtly moved his Divine Sense, and surrounded by a radiant glow, slowly flew towards Ye Zhen.

"Audacious fiend, submit now before the might of the Heavenly Temple!"

Right then, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly shifted to Abbot Zhaoshi, "This Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch, everyone currently in the temple, from top to bottom—including you, the Divine Master, down to the various attendants—a total of 1,431 people, am I correct?"

The abbot’s gaze turned into shock as he exclaimed, "How do you know that?"

Honestly, the number Ye Zhen mentioned—even Zhaoshi didn’t know for sure; Ye Zhen must have calculated it, with only a minor error of two or three people.

But the question was, how could this outsider, Ye Zhen, be so knowledgeable about their branch temple?

"Don’t worry about how I know! What matters is that as long as the numbers are confirmed, I can make my move!"

A chilling, formidable killing intent emerged on Ye Zhen’s lips as he suddenly shouted, "Slaughter the entire temple, spare no one!"

Ye Zhen had awaited dozens of breaths for Big Ears to confirm the exact numbers, ensuring the cleanest execution.

"Execute!"

Five differently colored Spirit Lights flew out from Ye Zhen’s body at once, heading in various directions.

At the same instant, two Xuan Fire Drills emitting terrifying auras blasted towards the approaching Great Spirit Master Ru Hui and the distant Abbot Zhaoshi.

"Slaughter the entire temple? Aren’t you afraid the wind might—"

Before the words were finished, Abbot Zhaoshi’s eyes suddenly widened in horror, reminiscent of the time Governor Yong Kun witnessed Great Spirit Master Ru Long being reduced to ashes by Ye Zhen’s Xuan Fire Drill, looking exactly the same.

However, Zhaoshi reacted much faster than Yong Kun.

While his eyes were filled with disbelief, seeing the Xuan Fire Drill rushing towards him, Zhaoshi let out a shrill, piercing scream!

The scream was filled with terror!
