Chapter 260: Chapter 45: Destroying Another Temple

Leaving Qingzhou Marsh, Chen Tang prepared to head to the nearest Longpan County, find the Qilin Guard or Vermilion Bird Guard, inform them of the situation, and send a message back to the Capital City, so Yuan Qingshan could prepare.

After that, he planned to head south, cross the river, and go to Xia Country.

At dawn, the city gate just opened.

Chen Tang left Thunder Leopard outside the city, entering the city alone.

Soon, he saw the emblem of the Qilin Bureau beside a secluded residence.

Chen Tang went in and recounted everything he had seen and heard on his journey.

The Qilin Department Captain in Longpan City realized the gravity of the situation and personally took people back to the Capital City to report to His Holiness.

The task Yuan Qingshan entrusted to him was completed.

With his ability, he couldn’t handle that Silver Flood Dragon.

As long as this message was relayed back, it would be considered completion of the task Yuan Qingshan gave him.

However, Chen Tang felt an uncomfortable stab in his chest.

Recalling the Evil Dragon Cave filled with heaps of white bones, he suddenly felt nauseous and couldn’t help but gag at the roadside.

Even though he was decisive in killing, seeing such a scene was still unbearable.

Behind each skeleton was a living person!

The Juvenile Flood Dragon had grown by devouring an unknown number of villages.

The fear of the Silver Flood Dragon had long dissipated, replaced by endless anger and a killing intent in Chen Tang’s heart.

The Profound Celestial Sect colluded with evil, feeding the Juvenile Flood Dragon with living people!

Those four alchemists guarding outside Longyin Village came from Longpan County.

Chen Tang suddenly turned, looking murderously at the Profound Celestial Tower in the direction of the West Gate.

He couldn’t kill the Silver Flood Dragon, but before leaving, he would target the Profound Celestial Temple!

Chen Tang strode towards the direction of the Profound Celestial Temple.

It was early in the morning, and the streets of Longpan County were already bustling with people coming and going.

Chen Tang made no attempt to hide his murderous intent, his gaze cold as he walked, seemingly stirring up a sinister breeze, attracting side glances from many passersby.

Before long, Chen Tang arrived outside the Profound Celestial Temple.

Many people were already waiting outside the temple gates.

After the temple doors opened, they would rush in to offer the first incense, praying for peace.

At the door, two guards of the Profound Celestial Temple stood with folded arms.

“Get to the back!”

One guard reached out, pushing an old man aside, spitting disdainfully, “Old fool, without any silver, you still want to be the first to enter the temple! Know the rules?”

“Old man, the first to enter the temple needs at least two hundred taels of silver, not counting the incense money!”

A young noble at the front turned, seeing this, sneered.

As the old man was about to fall, someone behind caught and helped him up.

The old man turned to see a tall man passing by, heading straight for the temple gate.

Another guard saw Chen Tang charging forward, frowned deeply, raised his chin, and scolded, “Where did this bumpkin come from, daring to collide with the Immortal Master! You’ll pay!”

Forget the guards of the Profound Celestial Temple, even a dog or a chicken within the temple carried extraordinary status, touched by celestial light.

These guards had been at the temple for so many years, and this tone was considered polite.

Clang!

’Eternal’ unsheathed, a flash of cold light!

Under countless gazes, two massive heads flew high into the air, seeming to hang for ages before crashing to the ground.

Splurt!

The necks of the two guards continuously spurted blood, splattering those at the front.

“Ah! Ah!”

“Murder!”

“Help!”

Screams erupted from the crowd, panic ensued, and people scattered away from the temple gates.

Boom!

A deafening sound!

Chen Tang kicked the grand door of the Profound Celestial Temple, immense power shattering it into pieces, kicking up a storm of dust!

Amidst the dust, Chen Tang charged into the temple with his saber!

“How dare you act recklessly in the Profound Celestial Temple!”

The commotion quickly alarmed the temple guards and disciples, many brandishing weapons, cursing as they charged over.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Chen Tang rushed into the crowd, swinging his saber to kill.

Under ’Eternal’, there was no match!

Before long, he carved a bloody path, heading straight for the Profound Celestial Tower!

A white light flashed from the Profound Celestial Tower!

Clang!

Chen Tang casually slashed, bisecting the incoming flying sword which fell to the ground as two pieces of scrap!

Hiss!

The Observatory Master of Profound Celestial Temple was taken aback, a flash of fear in his eyes.

…

“Murder at the Profound Celestial Temple!”

“Who killed who?”

“No, someone charged into the Profound Celestial Temple, slaughtering everyone, and wiped out the temple alone!”

“What!”

The streets of Longpan County were in chaos as people ran in all directions.

“Who is so bold, daring to kill at the Profound Celestial Temple, courting death?”

“I heard he is the Lion-Tiger Arhat appointed by His Holiness!”

“Lion-Tiger Arhat? You haven’t heard, this person wiped out a Profound Celestial Temple in Cloud County recently, killed the Commander of Cloud and the Azure Dragon Department Captain, known as the Demon Saber!”

“With an ill omen of a solar eclipse, the Demon Saber emerges; Qingzhou’s Profound Celestial Sect has sent people to hunt him down!”

At this moment, a team entered Longpan City.

Judging by their attire, some were from the Profound Celestial Sect, while others were from the Cyan Dragon Bureau.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, a voice came from the carriage: “Marshal Tan, it seems we have arrived just in time.”

“Yes.”

Marshal Tan responded seemingly nonchalantly, his eyes scanning the chaotic crowd ahead.

…

Chen Tang destroyed yet another Profound Celestial Temple, slaughtered everyone inside, and then ran toward the South Gate with ’Eternal’ in hand.

The commotion had already alarmed the County Governor’s Mansion and the Azure Dragon Bureau.

Catching the chaos before they encircled him, Chen Tang fought his way through.

This place wasn’t safe to stay.

The Azure Dragon Department Captain in Longpan County was a Fourth Grade Martial Artist.

If caught, it would be difficult to escape.

Thunder Leopard was waiting outside the city gate.

Once out of Longpan City, riding Thunder Leopard, even if pursued by a thousand troops, they couldn’t catch him!

Chen Tang sprinted down the long street.

The panicked crowd dared not obstruct his path.

At the end of the street was Longpan County’s South Gate.

Chen Tang even saw the city wall of the South Gate.

However, his pace gradually slowed.

Because beneath the city wall, a troop was waiting for him.

A quick glance estimated a few hundred people!

“Where did they come from?”

Chen Tang’s expression turned serious, his brow slightly furrowed.

The pursuers from Longpan City were mostly behind him.

Among this group ahead, there were Immortal Masters from the Profound Celestial Temple and Cyan Dragon Guards.

The attire of these Cyan Dragon Guards seemed to outrank those of Longpan County’s Cyan Dragon Bureau!

More than a dozen were clad in Copper Armor!

Only Fifth Grade and above Cyan Dragon Guards qualified to wear Copper Armor!

They were from Qingzhou City!

Chen Tang’s heart sank.

“Hmm? This person looks familiar…”

At this moment, Chen Tang noticed the person at the forefront of the Cyan Dragon Guards and had a strange look.

It’s him?

Tan Wujiu!
