Outside the door of the last secret cell.

Su Ye, Yao Jin, and the heavily armored servants are all waiting.

The first elder closed the door of the secret cell. No one knew what happened inside...but some things can be speculated. The second elder would not commit suicide for no reason.

Yuan Yang was Meng Xizhou’s mentor.

He helped the Meng family a lot, and it was due to him that Meng Xiao was able to sit on the throne of the Holy Son of the Temple as the Grand Duke of Beizhou.

But everyone in Guangming City knows that the reason why Yuan Yang did this is just because Meng Xizhou——

He treated Meng Xizhou very well. He had no children for more than seventy years, so he regarded him as his own son.

The Goddess of Light's talent, understanding, and qualifications are all top-notch. The temple has not encountered such a genius in the past hundred years. The great elder has trained countless young devotees in Xihaidu, and has searched all the churches.

The talented boy inside.

Yuan Yang only found one and found the most powerful one!

The longer I stay in the temple, the more I realize that the relationship between the great elder and Yuan Yang is extraordinary.

These two senior brothers rarely communicate with each other on weekdays, but their relationship is extremely deep.

Yuan Yang has been desperately searching for the [Immortal] over the years, offending many people and causing a lot of trouble...

When these troubles reached Guangming City, it was the Great Elder who stepped in to resolve them.

Yao Jin was sitting in a wheelchair, wiping the blood on the corners of his lips with a handkerchief. His cheek was still in burning pain after being slapped.

But his eyes were dull.

These injuries are nothing.

What he was worried about... was what would happen after Yuan Yang committed suicide.

If the second elder used his own death as the price to let the elder fulfill a last wish... then it would be difficult for the elder to refuse.

If this wish is to let Meng Xizhou leave the secret prison.

So maybe today, Meng Xizhou can really leave here.

Yao Jin didn't know what the scene would be like after the secret prison door was opened.

…

…

Everyone didn't wait too long.

Less than a moment.

The heavy door of the last secret cell slowly opened, and a faint smell of blood floated from the darkness. The great elder appeared in everyone's sight, dragging his blood-stained and dirty robes.

He is only one person.

The heavily armored servants who were waiting nervously were startled. They were not fools. They knew what it meant for the second elder to commit suicide.

Only the great elder appeared.

This means...the goddess is still imprisoned in the secret prison.

"Yao Jin, from now on you will be deprived of your status as the 'Secret Cell Master', and you will no longer need to participate in the subsequent fire trial."

The Great Elder spoke calmly: "Shengzi Su Ye, could you please temporarily take over the secret prison for a period of time... Until a new 'master' is found, the guardianship of the goddess will be left to you."

"Yes...this is what I should do."

Su Ye spoke in a deep voice and agreed happily.

After Yao Jin heard this treatment, he felt a little complicated. The goddess was still imprisoned, which showed that the death of the second elder did not change anything.

But, has nothing really changed?

He looked into the great elder's eyes, and he saw an imperceptible hint of fatigue in those eyes.

"Great Elder——"

Yao Jin spoke, but he did not mention the secret prison, nor did he plead for mercy for himself.

He just asked softly: "Where should I go?"

"..."

The great elder looked silently at this junior whom he had admired so much.

He only needed to take a glance to understand what happened in this secret cell.

As for how Yuan Yang died, he also knew exactly who had pushed him invisibly at this stage.

In fact, Yao Jin did nothing wrong, because the Temple of Light only looked at the results, not the process... If Yuan Yang successfully obtained the whereabouts of the [Holy Book], even if he was told that Yao Jin secretly tampered with the plan during the mission, he would not

Real penalties will be imposed.

But now, the whereabouts of the [Holy Book] have not been obtained.

His junior brother committed suicide in prison.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Sunset Mountain."

Sunset Mountain next to the Red Lake is a place where many members go to quietly cultivate their minds.

If those former important members of the temple are old or physically incapable of performing their tasks, they will be assigned to Sunset Mountain. This is still the core of the "temple", but those on the mountain no longer have a grasp of the actual situation.

of divine authority.

They still wear temple robes.

But it no longer belongs to the core of the temple's power hub.

As soon as these three words were spoken... everyone understood that this "shadow", who had finally been appreciated and reused, was rearranged into the darkness before he could stand in the light.

"……yes."

Facing this arrangement, Yao Jin's face looked very calm.

The great elder left the secret prison, and Su Ye also left with him.

Those heavily armored servants followed Su Ye away... The dark cold wind blew by, and Yao Jin, who was left behind by everyone, looked back at the slowly closing heavy door of the last secret cell.

He smiled silently, pushed his wheelchair alone, and left this dark place that no longer belonged to him.

From one place of darkness to another.

…

…

In the days that followed, Guangming City seemed to become much cleaner and more peaceful.

The celebration of Holy Days continues without interruption.

Countless believers parade in the streets day and night. No matter who comes to see this scene, this scene has nothing to do with the word purity.

However, the night watchmen of the Gu family scattered around Guangming City only eat, drink and sleep every day. The mission of the Holy Inquisitors is just to keep track... For the temple, this is the greatest purity!

Su Ye stared at the Gu family mission.

He knew the relationship between Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou, and also knew what Gu Nanfeng was going to do on his journey west this time.

After Yao Jin was deposed, Su Ye got his wish and took control of the "Secret Prison", but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate. Instead, it gradually worsened as time went by.

The night before a storm is always silent.

He did not think that Gu Nanfeng had the ability and means to break through the layers of arrangements in the Temple of Light and reach the secret prison.

Not only is he here, but also the Holy Inquisitor Jia Wei and the Great Elder.

All the experts from the temple have gathered together. Although they cannot keep an eye on the secret prison all the time, as long as there is any disturbance, the entire City of Light will focus on it.

But he always felt that he was missing something.

In the mist of the Red Lake, a small boat came. The boat made countless ripples and finally stopped slowly in the middle of the lake.

"..."

Yao Jin looked at the Holy Inquisitor wearing bright light armor. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just remained silent.

It has been several days since I came to Sunset Mountain.

He looked at the extraordinary beings coming and going down the mountain...

The Fire Trial in Guangming City has entered its third round. Those extraterrestrials who have passed the Heart Washing Pool trial have received the "Fire Dream" gifted by the temple. If they want to be truly recognized by the Light Fire, they must pass

The spiritual test of "Fire Dream" is much more difficult than the previous Heart Washing Pool.

Only those who match the "Fire Dream" are eligible to participate in the final round.

In a few days, the temple will open up permissions, and everyone can come to the Red Lake to watch the final competition. Those extraordinary people who pass the Fire Dream Compatibility Test will have the opportunity to set foot on the Red Lake.
