141: Chapter 141 Even Saints Can Fall?
Three days ago.
Baichuan Holy Academy.
In a mountain forest eight hundred trillion li away from Vice Dean Qiu Tianji's pavilion.
"Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?"
The High Priest of the Dragon Clan said with a calm expression. He understood in his heart that these people suspected him, but he did not want to admit anything.
"High Priest of the Dragon Clan, I saw you enter Vice Dean Qiu's pavilion earlier. How is it that such a massive explosion occurred just a short while later? Could it be related to you?" A giant at the God Emperor Peak spoke, his voice as loud as muffled thunder.
This giant had only one golden eye in the center of his forehead, emanating a mysterious and powerful aura.
This was a member of the Cyclops race, also known as the Golden Eye race. They were born with Divine Power and possessed pure Divine Power comparable to experts in the Pseudo-God Realm from birth, making them one of the most powerful races on this starry continent of the Divine Realm.
"Great Deacon Jin, you cannot speak nonsense. I left as soon as Vice Dean Qiu finished the calculation for me. I only just heard the explosion you speak of!" The High Priest of the Dragon Clan retorted calmly, his tone firm and confident, making it difficult to doubt his words.
"Regardless, until the matter is clarified, no one can leave Baichuan Holy Academy. High Priest of the Dragon Clan, trouble yourself to come back with us!" Another God Emperor Peak expert from Baichuan Holy Academy spoke, his gaze sharp, as if he could see through everything.
"This…" The High Priest of the Dragon Clan hesitated.
The High Priest was just about to refuse when another deacon from the Law Enforcement Hall of Baichuan Holy Academy arrived from the distance.
Before the deacon arrived, he shouted from afar: "It's bad! Three Great Deacons, Vice Dean Qiu has fallen! This matter is related to the High Priest of the Dragon Clan. Don't let him run!"
"What?" The three Great Deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall who had surrounded the High Priest of the Dragon Clan were startled.
In their understanding, no Saint had ever fallen in the Divine Realm.
"Deacon Bai, are you telling the truth? You didn't misspeak?"
"Are you sure? Say it again."
All three spoke in shock.
"That's right, Vice Dean Qiu has fallen. The Hall Master has personally verified it. Through the Hall Master's time regression, it was shown that before Vice Dean Qiu fell, he was talking to the High Priest of the Dragon Clan!" Deacon Bai said with a panicked expression, his voice trembling.
Hearing the deacon's words, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the High Priest of the Dragon Clan, but it was fleeting, and he soon returned to his calm expression.
The three looked at each other, seeing doubt and shock in each other's eyes. After confirming they had heard correctly, they each took out their top-grade Divine Artifacts, looking cautiously at the High Priest of the Dragon Clan to prevent him from suddenly launching a sneak attack.
"Three Great Deacons, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" The High Priest of the Dragon Clan waved his hands to explain, wearing an innocent expression. "I only asked Vice Dean Qiu to help me calculate something. I left as soon as he finished. I truly know nothing about the explosion that happened afterward!"
"Hmph, High Priest, you had best come back to the Law Enforcement Hall with us to explain things clearly, or don't blame us for being impolite!" Great Deacon Jin Dou said with a gloomy face and a stern voice.
"Hmph, High Priest, I advise you to think it over carefully. If you dare to resist, you will only have a dead end." Another Great Deacon also warned.
"You must know that the Hall Master has not personally taken action for billions of years. This time he has acted personally, surely because he sensed that something happened to Vice Dean Qiu. The power of a Saint is something neither you nor I can imagine. Therefore, you had best cooperate with us obediently and not seek your own death."
"Oh?" The High Priest of the Dragon Clan sneered. "And so what? Do you think that with just the three of you, you can capture this High Priest?"
"Hmph!" Jin Dou snorted coldly, a trace of frigid killing intent flashing in his eyes. "High Priest, you are too confident. Although you are also a God Emperor Peak, don't forget that we are Great Deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall, representing the authority of the Law Enforcement Hall. Today, even if we have to fight to the death, we will take you back to the Law Enforcement Hall."
"That's right, High Priest. If you are sensible, come with us. Otherwise, bear the consequences." The other Great Deacon echoed.
The High Priest of the Dragon Clan's eyes flickered, as if he were thinking about something. A moment later, he suddenly smiled: "Fine, since that is the case, then this High Priest will go with you. However, I believe that Baichuan Holy Academy will surely give me justice."
"I hope so." Jin Dou glanced at him coldly, then turned to the other two Great Deacons and said, "Let's go, take him back to the Law Enforcement Hall."
"High Priest, please." Jin Dou cleared a path.
Meanwhile, at the pavilion where Vice Dean Qiu lived.
The protective formation above the pavilion, which possessed the might of a Saint, had been forcefully broken.
The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Shen Wansan, was standing next to the large hole in the center of the main hall.
The large hole was a full hundred trillion li deep, and at its deepest point lay a pool of golden Saint blood.
He looked at the Saint corpse of Qiu Tianji beside the large hole, from which golden Saint blood was flowing continuously.
He could not believe what kind of person could actually kill a Saint from across the endless starry sky in such a short time without even showing their face.
Although he had attained sainthood late, he had never heard of a Saint falling.
He had originally thought that after attaining sainthood, one became an undying and indestructible existence, because he could no longer feel where the limit of his lifespan was, as if he could coexist with heaven and earth, possessing endless life.
However, when he witnessed the Saint corpse beside him, which was even more powerful than himself, he suddenly realized that Saints could also die!
And even fall completely!
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a sense of sorrow, a feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox grieving surging in his heart. Unknowingly, his back had already been soaked in cold sweat!
While still feeling lingering fear, a trace of greed arose in his heart for the Saint corpse beside him. If he could refine it, perhaps he could make a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm!
Shen Wansan took a deep breath, shook his head, and thought: "This is a member of the Saint Elder Hall, and a Vice Dean at that!"
Others would definitely not agree to doing this!
Thus, he sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes tightly, and continuously released Saint power towards the center of the main hall.
Soon, the scene that had happened earlier was replayed in the main hall.
He saw the High Priest of the Dragon Clan running out of the main hall with a look of lingering fear, rushing toward the gate of the Holy Academy.
He also saw the High Priest of the Dragon Clan fearfully dodging the Saint blood spat out by Qiu Tianji.
Afterward, under the interference of a mysterious power, the time reconstruction was interrupted, and the image shattered.
A mouthful of Saint blood surged into Shen Wansan's throat, but just as it reached his throat, he forcibly swallowed it back down.
He had just been injured by the aura of the mysterious power!
"Come here, go and bring the High Priest of the Dragon Clan."
After speaking, he sent a voice transmission to the other Dean of Baichuan Holy Academy, Tianzimu, and the other members of the Saint Elder Hall.
