Ling Xi, as the fourth hall master of the divine temple, naturally knew the rules of the divine race. How could she possibly allow Chen Ping to occupy her body so easily?
The third hall master was now slandering her, deliberately splashing dirty water.
The divine guards behind Ling Xi all showed angry expressions one after another. They gripped their weapons tightly, ready at any moment to protect Ling Xi.
Yun Xiu was even more furious, her eyes gleaming with killing intent. If she could beat the third hall master, she would have already struck to kill this fellow.
The third hall master waved his hand backwards. The third hall disciples behind him immediately stepped forward, assuming combat stances.
They rubbed their fists and palms one by one, their eyes revealing ferocity and provocation, as if they could not wait to make a move.
“Today, I am going to bring people into the divine king’s palace to check the situation inside and see if you have really turned the divine king’s palace into your own territory!”
The third hall master said. His voice was full of threats, trying to force Ling Xi to submit in this way.
“Outrageous!”
Ling Xi shouted sternly. Her voice was as loud as a great bell, making the ears of those around buzz. “How can the divine king’s palace be entered just because you say so? Without the divine king’s order, no one is allowed to enter!”
She knew that the divine king’s palace was the core of the divine temple. It contained many secrets and treasures, and she absolutely could not let someone with ill intentions like the third hall master enter.
“Hmph, the divine king is far away in the ninth heaven now. Here, I call the shots!”
After the third hall master finished speaking, he was about to lead his people to force their way in.
The disciples and divine guards behind him also surged forward one after another, trying to break through the defensive line of Ling Xi and the others.
Ling Xi and the divine guards behind her immediately drew their weapons, blocking the path of the third hall master and his group.
Their eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if telling the third hall master that if he wanted to enter the divine king’s palace, he would have to step over their corpses.
“Third hall master, are you trying to rebel by leading people to force your way into the divine king’s palace?”
Ling Xi asked coldly, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.
She knew that the third hall master’s actions had already seriously violated the temple’s rules. If she let him continue, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The third hall master’s face changed, but he quickly regained his composure. “Rebel? I am upholding the temple’s rules! You privately mobilised the divine guards and refuse to let us enter the divine king’s palace to inspect. Who knows what mischief you are up to inside?”
He tried to find an excuse for his behaviour, but it seemed so feeble and powerless.
Just as both sides were on the verge of drawing swords, with war about to break out, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.
That black shadow grew larger and larger, gradually revealing the figures of two people.
Everyone looked up and saw the witch prince and the great elder slowly descending from the air.
Powerful auras emanated from their bodies, as if carrying an invisible pressure that made everyone present feel a pang of palpitation.
“Hehe, it seems we have arrived just in time.”
The witch prince said with a smile. His smile revealed a sense of smugness and cunning, as if he had already anticipated the situation before him.
Ling Xi looked coldly at the witch prince and the great elder. “What are people from the evil path hall doing here?”
Ling Xi’s face was extremely unpleasant. She did not understand why people from the evil path hall had come to the divine king’s palace.
All along, the divine temple had no grudges or dealings with the evil path hall.
But as soon as the words were out, Ling Xi immediately turned to look at the third hall master, her brows furrowing. She seemed to have realised something.
“Third hall master, did you bring the people from the evil path hall? You actually colluded with the evil path hall. Are you not afraid of punishment?”
Ling Xi questioned the third hall master.
The third hall master had not expected the witch prince and the great elder to arrive so quickly. It had been agreed that they would appear after he entered the divine king’s palace, then make their move against it.
Now that the matter had not yet succeeded, the third hall master did not want to expose his collusion with the evil path hall too early.
