Chapter 651: Chapter 224: Confronting the Martial Saint Horse Face Exposure, My Daughter is 5 Years Old [Seeking Monthly Ticket]
Spring rain pattered down relentlessly.
Striking the black tiles, it produced a ticking sound akin to the hands of a clock being moved.
Under the eaves, Old Chen who was brushing his teeth abruptly stood up.
He looked over from afar, a hint of worry briefly surfacing on his aged face.
The Temple Control Bureau?
And it’s the Dao City Temple Control Bureau at that!
It’s well known that the Temple Control Bureaus established by the Imperial Court in major Dao Cities not only suppress the Strange Temples but also serve to counteract the Divine Sect.
Thus, the Dao City Temple Control Bureau is certainly not an ordinary force.
Far from being comparable to the Temple Office of Golden Light Prefecture City.
It belongs to the true leviathans, nearly on par with the Authentic Divine Sect, and although there are disparities in heritage, each and every Temple Guardian dispatched by the Imperial Court to Dao City is an exceptional master.
Inside the house, Zhang Ya also stepped out, her fine eyebrows furrowing as she quickly trotted over.
“Darling…”
Li Che raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder.
“It’s nothing. Lord Xie has some business with me; I’ll just go and return shortly.”
Li Che said with a calm and gentle smile.
His demeanor was very mild, without a trace of anxiety or worry.
“As a Second-Class Guest Official of the Qintian Observatory, I accompanied the Observatory on a trip to a Strange Temple to observe the Temple God. Later, that Strange Temple vanished… perhaps it’s mere coincidence.”
Li Che’s voice was very stable, comforting his wife.
Xie Jing, watching Li Che’s demeanor, couldn’t help but feel admiration in his heart.
After all, most cultivators invited by the Temple Control Bureau often feel uneasy within.
To the cultivators in the world, the Temple Control Bureau is an extremely formidable entity, an organization specifically dealing with Strange Temples, filled with mighty figures. Although the number of Divine Envoys is not large, each is exceedingly powerful.
Once one joins the Temple Control Bureau, if anything occurs, escape is nigh impossible.
Li Che’s composure dissolved Xie Jing’s suspicion of him.
Prior to his arrival, Xie Jing had indeed harbored doubts about Li Che.
After all, some coincidences…
Could such coincidental events all happen to Li Che?
Both Strange Temples that Li Che visited to observe the Temple Gods mysteriously disappeared from the human world, how could one not speculate?

“Lord Xie, let’s be on our way.”
“A clear conscience fears no accusation,” Li Che said with a calm smile, his black robes fluttering.
Xie Jing’s genuine admiration surfaced, “Please.”
After reassuring Zhang Ya not to worry about his safety, Li Che left with Xie Jing, boarded the Temple Control Bureau’s carriage, breaking through the tilting curtains of spring rain, and headed towards the direction of the Temple Control Bureau.
Inside the carriage, a charcoal stove boiled water, the seething water scalding, brewing the tender shoots of early spring. A few verdant tea buds were dropped into the teacup, instantly unraveling when swept up by the boiling water as if stretching lazily.
The clear water gradually infused with a hue of verdant green.
Xie Jing and Li Che discussed many matters, mostly concerning the events in Golden Light Prefecture City.
Both coming from the same Prefecture, they naturally shared a closer bond.
“The Temple Control Bureau of Golden Light Prefecture City will soon receive a new Governor from the Imperial Court. After the Temple God Resonance, the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince’s Sinister Temple will likely fall into a long period of calm. The next time it erupts, it could be a significant event…”
“Perhaps then, I might be reassigned back to Golden Light Prefecture City.”
Xie Jing said with a smile, sipping his tea.
“Oh? So the Temple Control Bureau believes the Third Prince’s Strange Temple in Golden Light Prefecture will have a major outbreak?”
Li Che asked, puzzled.
“That’s inevitable. Compared to the other Four Royal Strange Temples, the Third Prince’s Strange Temple appeared in a relatively short span of time. Every Strange Temple goes through a major eruption…”
“Such an eruption… has been referred to as ‘Temple God Returning Light’ by the Great Supervising Minister of Divine Machine from the Capital Divine Heaven Bureau.”
“Prior to the ‘Temple God Sublimation,’ the Four Royal Strange Temples aren’t particularly dangerous, even if Divinity infection spreads, it remains within controllable limits.”
“That is why neither the Divine Sect nor the Imperial Court has dispatched strong figures to garrison the Third Prince’s Strange Temple. However, once ‘Temple God Returning Light’ commences and the Temple God revives from death, Golden Light Prefecture may very well become the center of the vortex…”
“By then, it won’t just be one Divine Fetus Great God or Martial Saint descending.”
Xie Jing said in a soft voice.
He leaned back against the soft cushioning of the carriage, a serious look glinting in his eyes.
“Moreover…”
“I feel that the Third Prince’s Strange Temple in Golden Light Prefecture might be different from the other Four Royal Strange Temples…”
“I have previously experienced two of the Four Royal Strange Temples within the Strange Que of Qianyuan Dao City…”
“Be it the Wonderous Way Manifest Saint Three-Eyed True Lord Strange Temple suppressed by the Qianyuan Divine Sect, or the Nine Chi Demon-Expelling Evil-Suppressing Celestial Cover Strange Temple jointly suppressed by the Su Family, Zhou Family, the Yun Family, and the Zhong Family from the Four Great Families…”
“None gave me a terror as profound as the Strange Que of the Third Prince’s Strange Temple.”
Xie Jing, holding his sword, his gaze took on a distant look.
“It was a night of the full moon, I had not even entered the Strange Que of the Third Prince’s Strange Temple, merely being outside the Mysterious Fog, I vaguely sensed… numerous terrifying presences, as if parading in columns.”
