The bell tolled nine times, immediately silencing the martial artists inside the Great Hall.
With nine bells, an external enemy attacks!
"Not good."
Miao Jue's eyes narrowed, unable to spare a moment to think why they came so quickly. He immediately leaped out of the Great Hall, followed by several head seats.
Hundreds of Bright Temple martial monks held staves, their faces heavy with vigilance towards the outside.
At this moment, two hundred Heavenly Patrol Envoys of various ranks had already blocked the entrance, and all other exits had been surrounded. Leading them was the Shuzhou Golden Envoy, Lu Renyi.
Miao Jue's face remained calm as he stepped forward to the front, scanning the surroundings and noting the absence of Chen Yuan. He furrowed his brows, brought his hands together, and asked:
"May I know your esteemed surname, benefactor?"
"I am Lu Renyi, the Golden Envoy of Shuzhou."
"Since you are a Shuzhou official, why have you come to our Qingzhou Bright Temple?"
