Xia Yao laughed, shook her head and said: "I appreciate Your Highness's good intentions. There were many experts in Divine Pool, and they probably did not know his true identity yet, so they did not give it their all. But the moment his Highness took Xia Yao away, the experts in Divine Pool would definitely rush over to intercept him, wouldn't that mean that Xia Yao harmed his Highness? Just knowing that Young Master Ren is safe and sound right now means that Xia Yao is very at ease. "
Hearing her words, Tang Yin had nothing to say. Even though he did not want to show weakness, he had to admit that what Xia Yao had said was not without reason. If he really used all his strength to stop his, let alone not being able to take Xia Yao away, he himself would not be able to leave the Divine Pool.
Seeing Tang Yin frown and not say anything, Xia Yao smiled slightly, then bowed and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured here, within the Holy Temple, even if an elder from the Divine Pool arrived, he would not dare to barge in rashly."
Just as she finished speaking, a maid hurriedly ran in. She first looked at Tang Yin and the others, then quickly walked to Xia Yao's side and said softly: "Holy Maiden, Lady Chen Miao requests an audience!"
Xia Yao stopped smiling, she muttered to herself for a moment, then nodded and said: "I will go now." After she finished speaking, she said to Tang Yin, "Xia Yao will be back soon."
After she brought the maid and left, Tang Yin asked Ling Ye: "Who is Chen Miao?"
Ling Ye thought for a while, then said: "If I remember correctly, he should be the Guard Leader who is guarding the Sacred Mountain. It seems quite strange, but on our way here, we actually did not encounter any of the guardians of the Sacred Mountain. "
"There's nothing to be surprised about, because they were all transferred to Zhuyu Mountains and surrounded us." Tang Yin said with narrowed eyes.
Ling Ye and the rest took in a cold breath, after thinking for a moment, they anxiously spoke: "That Chen Miao is now requesting to see the Holy Maiden, he shouldn't have noticed that we have escaped into the Holy Temple, right?"
Tang Yin laughed bitterly: "Eighty to ninety percent." With that, he stood up and walked out.
Ling Ye's heart tensed up, he anxiously stood up and asked: "Where is Your Highness going?"
"Let's see what the situation outside is like!"
Ling Ye thought for a while, then sternly replied: "I'll go with Your Highness!"
Chen Miao had come here to chase after Tang Yin, Ling Ye and the others. At this time, the area outside of the Holy Temple was densely packed with Disciple of Divine Pool s and all of the torches were linked together as if they were made into a fire blanket.
When Xia Yao walked out from the Holy Temple s under the escort of many female servants, what she saw was exactly this scene. Seeing that the Holy Maiden had come out, all the Disciple of Divine Pool outside bowed respectfully.
Chen Miao who was standing in the front did not dare to be negligent, and respectfully bowed to Xia Yao and said: "I greet the Holy Maiden!"
"Sir Chen, there is no need to be so courteous." Xia Yao once again covered her face with the veil, with a gentle tone, she waved her hand at Chen Miao, and then pretended not to understand: "Sir Chen, have you brought these people to Holy Temple for anything?"
"The Holy Maiden doesn't know?" Chen Miao's eyes revealed a look of doubt.
Xia Yao asked in puzzlement: "What do you not know?"
Chen Miao cleared his throat, and said sternly: "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, today, Feng Country has sent a group of Spirit Cultivator of Dark s to break into the Zhuyu Mountains forbidden grounds."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xia Yao interrupted him with a soft voice. "What does that have to do with me?"
"Oh ?" Chen Miao subconsciously looked back, and said with a troubled expression: "According to the scouts, those Spirit Cultivator of Dark s from the Feng Country have escaped into the Holy Temple now."
"What a joke!" How could it be possible for a person to enter the limelight inside the Holy Temple? This is utter nonsense. Leave this place as soon as possible. If you offend the Holy Spirit, you will be punished by the heavens! " After saying that, Xia Yao no longer looked at him. She turned around and planned to return to the Holy Temple.
Chen Miao did not stop him, nor did he stop him. He stood there in a dilemma. Just then, someone from the back suddenly laughed out loudly, following that, Great Clan Elder Nie Zhen slowly walked out, accompanied by a group of disciples.
"Holy Maiden, please wait!"
Hearing that, Xia Yao turned to look, and saw that the person who came was Nie Zhen, she frowned, why is even the Great Clan Elder here! She stopped and gently nodded her head, saying, "So it's Elder Nie."
"Holy Maiden, the scouts had personally witnessed the Spirit Cultivator of Dark escaping into the Holy Temple, they would definitely not be lying. With such a huge matter, I believe the scouts would not dare to lie."
When Nie Zhen walked up to Xia Yao, the latter saw clearly that Nie Zhen was actually injured. His arm was wrapped in bandages and there were scratches on his face, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.
Xia Yao was the Great Clan Elder, and the Spirit Force that she had learnt could be considered unrivalled in the world, who could harm him? Could it be Feng King and the rest? That's impossible.
She was secretly curious in her heart, but didn't show it. She smiled and asked, "Elder Nie's meaning is, if a spy doesn't dare to lie, then I'm lying?"
Nie Zhen might be able to show off his power and prestige in front of other people, but in front of the Holy Maiden, he still did not dare be too rude. He smiled apologetically and said: "Of course I don't have that intention, it's just that, with Holy Temple is so great, and there are less than a hundred attendants serving the Holy Maiden, there is bound to be some kind of mistake. If some thief steals inside without being discovered, wouldn't even the Holy Maiden be in danger?"0
Hearing that his words made sense, Xia Yao asked, "Then Elder Nie, what do you mean ?"
"May the Holy Maiden open her Holy Temple, and let us enter to search. It is best if there are no thieves, and if we really find one, it would be equivalent to helping the Holy Maiden escape death!" Nie Zhen said with a serious expression.
He felt that his attitude was already polite enough, but he didn't know that it would still cause Xia Yao to feel disgusted.
The latter growled, "Impudent! How could a mighty Holy Temple be something that you can enter and leave whenever you want to? Even if the Holy King were to come, without my permission, they would not be allowed to enter.
Nie Zhen was the Great Elder. Under one person, above tens of thousands of people, who would normally dare to be so rude to him, who would dare to speak to him like that, what's more, the other side was only a young girl in her early twenties. He and Huangfu Xiutai had just fought a fierce battle, and both of them had sustained injuries. In the end, it ended with Huangfu Xiutai taking the initiative to retreat, as he had originally been holding back his anger and resentment. Now, being scolded by Xia Yao in front of everyone, the old man's face alternated between red and white.
If not for taking into account Xia Yao's identity as the Holy Maiden, he would have already fallen out with her. He clenched his fists tightly, and after a long while, Fang Ning asked, "What if I insist on entering the Holy Temple today?"
"You dare?" Xia Yao's originally gentle voice suddenly became sharp. She furiously glared at Nie Zhen and coldly said: "Entering the Holy Temple is even worse than breaking into the forbidden grounds. If Elder Nie dares to do so, all Disciple of Divine Pool will be punished!"
When these words came out, even Chen Miao subconsciously retreated a few steps, instinctively pulling away from Nie Zhen. At the same time, he raised his hand to grab onto the sword hilt, and stared at Nie Zhen without blinking.
Entering the Holy Temple was even more of a crime than barging into the forbidden grounds. Entering the forbidden grounds, if Holy King was merciful, she might be able to stay alive, but barging into the Holy Temple was an insult to the Divine Pool and Holy Spirit, even if Holy King came out herself.
Moreover, Chen Miao was a Guard Leader who guarded the Sacred Mountain in the first place. His duty was to protect the Sacred Mountain, Holy Temple and the safety of the Holy Maiden.
Not to mention Chen Miao, even the disciples of Nie Zhen trembled in fear when they heard Nie Zhen's words. They all stepped forward and tried to persuade him in a low voice, "Master, you mustn't be impulsive. Entering the Holy Temple is a capital offense that will flank the entire family. You aren't afraid of death, but we are! These were the words from the hearts of the disciples.
Nie Zhen was only saying that, if he really wanted to barge into Holy Temple, he didn't have that kind of guts.
He looked at Xia Yao, then looked at the people around him, heavily stomped her feet, and waved her hand: "First surround my Holy Temple, and don't even let a mouse escape. I will return to the city to meet Holy King right now, and request Holy King's instruction!"
After saying that, he did not forget to glare at Xia Yao fiercely, and laughed sinisterly: "Holy Maiden, you better pray that there are no thieves within the Holy Temple, or else, I'm afraid that the Holy Maiden will commit the crime of protecting the thieves, and will be punished with a burning punishment!"
Thank you for your kind reminder, Elder Nie, Holy Temple is a holy land, there will definitely not be any thieves hiding, so what do I have to be afraid of?!
"Good, good, good. I will go and ask the Holy King's overseer!" I want to see how long your mouth can last! Without further ado, Nie Zhen turned around and separated the disciples behind him and walked down the mountain with big strides.
"Elder Nie, take care. I'll be leaving."
"Humph!" Nie Zhen responded with a snort.
Seeing that the old man had left, Xia Yao did not linger outside the temple, and returned to the Holy Temple with gentle steps.
Just as she returned to the Holy Temple, the people outside started to move under the guidance of the Nie Zhen disciples. The crowd spread out, surrounding the enormous Holy Temple by three levels, three levels to the outside, with not even a drop of water being able to trickle through.
Although Xia Yao looked tough on the surface, she wasn't sure either. If Nie Zhen really invited the Holy King as an overseer and insisted on entering the Holy Temple, she wouldn't be able to stop him either. When the time comes, the Feng King would be discovered.
frowned as he entered the hall, he lowered his head and pondered. Then, Tang Yin and Ling Ye walked over. Seeing the two of them, Xia Yao asked anxiously: "Why did Your Highness come out? Right now, everyone outside is searching for His Highness, so His Highness has to hurry back and hide. "
Both Ling Ye and Ling Ye had heard their conversation outside. The latter lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Tang Yin said: "Nie Zhen wants to come in and search, right?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will do my best to stop them ?"
"If Nie Zhen brought an order that Guang Han had listened to, even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to stop it. Moreover, they have already surrounded our Holy Temple; we will be discovered sooner or later, and at that time, you will definitely be implicated as well."
Tang Yin frowned as he said to Ling Ye: "Since Nie Zhen is not here, we should leave quickly!"
