Chapter 651: Chapter 623: Outrage (Please Subscribe)

Almost at the same time, in front of a pavilion at the easternmost corner of the Divine Palace, Han Baxian presented the dispatches sent by ‘Lin Hao’ to the Great Celestial Master of the Divine Palace.

The Great Celestial Master did not reach out to take them; he merely glanced at the contents of Lin Hao’s document and instantly understood every word.

“They’ve retrieved the shard of the Divine Tablet from our East Continent? From King Ming?”

The Great Celestial Master was slightly surprised and then frowned: “What exactly happened?”

Three months earlier, the Great Celestial Master had concluded that the likelihood of Lin Hao and his disciple retrieving those three shards of the Divine Tablet was exceedingly slim.

Even though he, through Stargazing Skill, had deduced that these three shards were still within a 5,000-li radius around Luojing, the range was simply too vast, and it was impossible to completely seal off the area even by mobilizing all of the Great Song Dynasty’s troops.

Especially those Purgatory Demons, they were like a bunch of moles, continually burrowing tunnels, nearly impossible to guard against.

Those experts of the Nine Realms Emperor rank could freely come and go within an army of a hundred thousand, and with a single use of Escape Skill, they could travel tens of thousands of li.

Therefore, only masters of the same level could station themselves in the area to deter them, or at the very least, a ‘Vice Divine Envoy’ of the next level down would have the capability to somewhat restrict them.

In such a circumstance, unless All Gods remained fully conscious for thirty to fifty days, scouring the heavens and earth with His omnipotent Divine Power, investigation by investigation, it would be very difficult to locate the remnants of those shards.

The Great Celestial Master did not expect the masterminds of Purgatory to expose themselves by using the ‘Divine Tablet shard’ as bait in their plot to kill Lin Hao, showing themselves openly at the River Pass to the east of the Capital.

According to the video footage transmitted from the River Pass area and the various information held by the Great Celestial Master, those three shards of the Divine Tablet seemed to have truly fallen into their hands.

The Great Celestial Master also did not expect that Luo Wangshu and his disciple, after stepping into the trap prepared by Purgatory and not only getting out intact but also actually retrieving a piece of the shard.

But why from King Ming?

“Master, please look!”

Han Baxian then took out several letters from his sleeve, along with a black object resembling a brush handle, which he presented before the Great Celestial Master: “These are the Flying Book messages sent by several participants in that battle, detailing the events at the time. Among them, the Commander of the Demon Destruction Bureau, Wang Chenghua, used this portable camera pen originating from the Heavenly Demon to record the scene at that moment.”

“Wang Chenghua?”

The Great Celestial Master was familiar with this person, the current Commander of the Demon Destruction Bureau, an Eight Realms Emperor Rank and originally a Third-rank Heavenly Official with boundless prospects!

If not for the previous incident involving the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy being ambushed, this person could have been promoted to a Second Rank Vice Divine Envoy, stationed across different regions, within a year.

The case of the kidnapping of the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy shows that this person is a typical shrewd operator in the Great Song’s official circles, slippery and hard to grasp, showing a lack of loyalty to the Divine.

Afterward, he gestured with his hand and summoned the letters and camera pen from Han Baxian’s hand to his own.

The Great Celestial Master first read the letters, then skillfully released the video footage from the portable camera pen.

However, even though this portable camera pen was a high-end model sold by the Heavenly Demon, the footage it captured was extremely limited under the circumstance of Luo Wangshu and King Ming’s full-powered confrontation.

Under such circumstances, even the most top-tier situational perception devices from the Heavenly Demon would probably not be able to capture much.

The Great Celestial Master then fell into contemplation: “So this means that the real Divine Tablet shard has always been in King Ming’s possession, and Lin Hao’s claims of the Demon Sect’s King Ming colluding with Purgatory are obviously exaggerated and unrealistic.”

Given that the genuine Divine Tablet shard was in King Ming’s possession, obviously, those touted by Purgatory were counterfeits.

It’s quite possible then, that those Purgatory Demons indeed have the capability to create fakes.

As for why Lin Hao would claim in his document that the Demon Sect’s King Ming was colluding with Purgatory, the purpose is to exaggerate the overall strength of the enemy in order to shirk responsibility.

In the eyes of the Great Celestial Master, this is common human behavior. Clearly, Lin Hao does not wish to delve further into the mines and continue risking it all.

However, this is different from the character of Wang Chenghua. Lin Hao and his disciple Luo Wangshu have already shown their loyalty, fulfilling their respective duties.

Previously, when the Divine Tablet was taken, it wasn’t really the responsibility of Luo Wangshu and his disciple; these two were actually quite wronged.

“Master’s discernment enlightens!” Han Baxian respectfully bowed and said: “So now the situation is quite troublesome, we can only ask for Master’s decision.”

“I understand what you mean, Lin Hao and Luo Wangshu may give their all next, but they will definitely prioritize stability in their actions.”

The Great Celestial Master rubbed his brow, thinking that if they could not retrieve the other two shards, then the Great Song’s lost dignity could not be reclaimed.

But this mentor and disciple will certainly not take risks anymore.

Even the Great Celestial Master cannot oppress them or hold them accountable harshly.

These two have just experienced a bitter battle, they have shed blood for the Divine, endured injuries, and risked their lives.

As for Lin Hao’s request, saying Zong Xiushan requests to have the numerous Ninth Realm and Eighth Realms near the abandoned mine placed under his command—that is absolutely impossible.

These people are the foundation of the East Continent, the family fortune of the Divine; how can they be handed over to outsiders?

The Great Celestial Master let out a slight sigh: “Actually, they have a tough job, knowingly walking into a trap.”

His eyes then narrowed, his robes billowing: “So what is this Lin Hao is saying about these Candidate Divine Envoys shirking their duties, defying orders, and procrastinating—how is it that our revered East Continent can’t even mobilize a few Nine Realms Emperors?”

“Master, all twenty-four Vice Divine Envoys of the East Continent are stationed in various localities, at a time when local chaos abounds, indeed these Vice Divine Envoys dare not make a move.

Besides, at the time of the incident, there were frequent movements in the Purgatory army beneath the Sky Pool Passage, clearly a tactic of coordination and restraint. As a result, the Candidate Divine Envoys within the Sky Pool also dare not to leave their posts lightly. As for the court’s ministers and generals, Lin Hao has no authority over officials of Third rank and above; as for the military, Luo Divine Envoy has also mobilized all the heavy generals that could be deployed.”

Han Baxian frowned: “What Lin Hao refers to as shirking responsibilities, defying orders, and procrastinating, mainly points to the First Candidate Divine Envoy, the Second Candidate Divine Envoy, and the Sixth Candidate Divine Envoy, particularly the First Candidate Divine Envoy who summoned the Spiritual Sky Dragon needed by Lin Hao before the battle.”

He thought to himself that his words justified the hundred thousand silver note stuck in the Flying Book by Lin Hao.

The Great Celestial Master let out a cold sneer: “Senseless! Ignorant of the larger picture!”

The Great Celestial Master doesn’t mind these Divine Envoys and Candidate Divine Envoys competing with each other, even encourages it, but if this leads to infighting and failure in the tasks assigned by the Divine, it crosses his bottom line.

And that Second Divine Envoy, his vision is indeed a bit narrow.

Previously he had appreciated how the Second Divine Envoy had been diligent in the inspection of arms, and yet he went on to cause such a situation.

Han Baxian thought that this was exactly Lin Hao’s intention, he cupped his hands: “It is worth noting that the numerous troops under the command of Luo Divine Envoy did not participate in the mine battle either, remaining stationary.”

The Great Celestial Master frowned, walking to the edge of the pavilion, looking down at the vast Luojing City below: “Is it the Emperor and All Divine Envoys mutually restraining each other, none daring to act?”

He knew that while the Emperor and the Second Divine Envoy were inspecting the local areas, not only did they take down more than a dozen high officials of Third and Fourth Rank under Luo Wangshu, but they also attempted to investigate the properties of several major families under Luo Wangshu’s wings.

Because this involved struggles among several Divine Envoys, the Great Celestial Master had reviewed the files of these dozen people.

To be fair, none of these dozen or so had made any significant mistakes—their shortages were left by predecessors, they had merely been following the old ways, and their situations were neither critical nor negligible.

The Third Divine Envoy didn’t say anything, but he intensified his defenses and became more cautious.

That Luo Wangshu’s numerous experts remained stationary was also understandable; they were guarding against the Emperor and the Second Divine Envoy making a move against them.

However, the internal strife and consumption of the Great Song Dynasty has indeed reached a level that cannot be ignored.

The Great Celestial Master, upon considering this, turned around and said: “Lin Hao has mentioned the Eleventh Candidate Divine Envoy Shentu Rong and the Twelfth Candidate Divine Envoy Situ Xiu three times in his letter, clearly trying to clear the way for these two to argue for their cause.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Upon reflection, it is indeed a waste to put these two Candidate Divine Envoys in the Sin Army. Go and transfer them out, let them roll over to Wanshi Mountain to await orders, and also tell Lin Hao and his disciple to summon their remaining strength, and not to disappoint the Divine expectation!”

Han Baxian’s expression turned serious as he heard this, cupping his hands: “But in this way, Shentu Rong and Situ Xiu will inevitably be grateful to Lin Hao and Luo Wangshu’s disciples.”

Moreover, even if these two rush over, it cannot be guaranteed that they will be able to recover the Divine Tablet fragments.

“That’s not a bad thing at all.”

The Great Celestial Master brushed his sleeve, his eyes sharp: “Haven’t you read the words in Lin Hao’s letter? Luo Wangshu stated that King Ming was severely injured to begin with, and then got struck in the lungs by her Sword Qi, now becoming the target of all!”

Han Baxian realized in an instant; the Great Celestial Master cared not for those two fragments of the Divine Tablet, but for King Ming.

King Ming, Yin Qianqiu, had only taken up the position for thirteen years. With his death, the Light God Sect would inevitably fall into internal chaos and might be unable to cause trouble for several years, allowing Great Song to concentrate more power to deal with the Purgatory demon surge.

However, there was one thing that Han Baxian couldn’t understand.

Since the three Divine Tablet fragments were in the hands of the Divine Sect’s King Ming, why would he go to that abandoned mine? Was it out of sheer boredom?
