Wuqun said, "The enlightenment room is in Chongming Pavilion. We need to go around it from the main hall."
Chongming Pavilion was the three-story temple to the north. In addition, the east was Qing Shen Pavilion, the west was Mu Yue Pavilion, the south was Zi Ling Pavilion, and the center was the main hall. The four pavilions were each managed by a divine envoy of the Central Domain Divine Temple, holding the same status as the divine lords of the Four Great Divine Temples.
Bai Shengyi and the others lived in Mu Yue Pavilion. The four pavilions were not adjacent. To go to other pavilions, one had to pass through the main hall.
"Divine Envoy Ming is responsible for Chongming Pavilion and also manages the daily affairs of the Central Domain Divine Temple. If we want to enter the enlightenment room, we need his approval."
Yue Jun shook Wuqun's arm and said worshipfully, "Brother Qun, you know so much! I really admire you!"
Wuqun cleared his throat. "It's nothing. If you came for the second time, you would know these things too."
Although he said this, his face showed a smug smile, clearly enjoying Yue Jun's flattery.
Han Bei saw Wuqun's reaction clearly and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Ah, men...
He couldn't help but look at Bai Shennu, who hadn't spoken much, beside him. "What are you looking at?"
Bai Shengyi turned her head upon hearing him and saw it was Han Bei. She said faintly, "Don't you think it's too quiet here?"
The vast Central Domain Divine Temple actually had quite a few people inside. Just as Bai Shengyi and the others walked to the main hall, they encountered no less than five groups of people coming and going.
However, whether they were divine attendants or female slaves, whether they were in a hurry or patrolling slowly, all these people moved very quietly, so quietly that Bai Shengyi could even hear the wind whistling through the hall.
"It's like this," Wuqun said, hearing this, not surprised at all. "It is said that the Great Divine Lord prefers quiet. There are formations inscribed everywhere to prohibit noise. Once the sound is too loud, it will be attacked by the formations."
No wonder his voice was so low.
"Then let's walk slower and make less noise," Yue Jun said in a high-pitched voice, his heart sinking continuously.
Why would the Central Domain Divine Temple have formations? Could there be a formation master here?
But according to his observation at the West Divine Temple, the cultivation level of the cultivators in the Green Rong Small World was inferior to that of the Divine Enlightenment Small World. Those cultivators only knew how to control spiritual plants, and very few could even control beasts, let alone anything else.
Take the West Divine Temple for example. He had stayed there for such a long time, but he had never seen any formation masters or alchemists!
The group, with their own thoughts, did not notice a squad of guards suddenly emerge from the north of the main hall and hurry out of the temple.
At this time, in an inconspicuous corner of Xianrong City.
"Xi Men Hongchun, how are you?" Qin Sanxiang, sniffing the aroma of meat buns wafting from a nearby shop, felt invigorated by the craving.
But when she thought of her current predicament, she withered away at a visible speed.
"I'm not going to die," Xi Men Hongchun leaned against the wall, panting heavily. "Let's leave quickly, or we won't be able to escape if the temple people catch up!"
Neither of them knew whether their luck was good or bad. They had originally entered the Mustard Seed Layer to find Chu Tianle, but not only did they not find Chu Tianle, but they also fell into an illusion created by Yue Jun and Tang Qiao.
After finally escaping the illusion, they painstakingly found the exit of the Mustard Seed Layer, only to be swept into a strange small world by a spatial turbulence.
"Who would have thought that one day I, Qin Sanxiang, would crave a meat bun!" Qin Sanxiang stared longingly at the meat buns in the shop and turned her gaze away with great difficulty.
Seeing Xi Men Hongchun about to collapse as he walked, she quickly stepped forward to support him.
At this moment, she no longer cared about propriety between men and women, or about Xi Men Hongchun's engagement and the need for discretion. They had fought side by side all the way from the Mustard Seed Layer, and their bond was no longer what it was before. Moreover, Xi Men Hongchun's injuries were almost half due to her.
"It will be fine once we leave this divine temple," Xi Men Hongchun asked, "How is your cultivation recovery?"
When they were in the Mustard Seed Layer, because it was extremely dangerous, the two of them had stimulated their potential in desperate situations, both breaking through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. However, after arriving in the Green Rong Small World, their cultivation had plummeted to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Hearing Xi Men Hongchun's question, Qin Sanxiang's face turned very grim.
"Don't mention it. The spiritual energy here is problematic and not suitable for cultivation at all. You shouldn't circulate spiritual power anymore either."
"What's going on?"
Qin Sanxiang said with a dark expression, "I was about to form my core yesterday, but when I woke up this morning, the spiritual energy in my dantian was completely stagnant."
Xi Men Hongchun's mood also became heavy. "No wonder you were so slow this morning."
Qin Sanxiang snorted, "No spiritual energy, no spiritual energy. Even if dozens more divine attendants came, with my sword, Qin Sanxiang, I could still break through—"
Qin Sanxiang shut her mouth immediately as she saw rows of divine attendants suddenly appear in front of them. She turned to support Xi Men Hongchun and ran!
"Damn it! How did they find our location so quickly? When did my luck become so 'good'!"
She wished she could slap herself. Why did she have to boast!
Xi Men Hongchun added expressionlessly, "Our luck has always been 'good'."
If not, how could they have ended up in this cursed place?
Qin Sanxiang wanted to cry without tears. "Don't say it!"
She pointed forward helplessly, signaling Xi Men Hongchun to look for himself.
In front of them, dozens more divine attendants blocked the exit of the alley tightly.
Surrounded from front and back, with Qin Sanxiang's spiritual energy stagnant and Xi Men Hongchun seriously injured, the two, after a brief struggle, were tied up and taken back.
"Divine Envoy Ming, we've brought them back."
The person called Divine Envoy Ming was wearing a green robe, embroidered with a lush green ancient tree from the hem upwards, making him look like a pine or bamboo.
However, when he picked up a long whip, that pine-like or bamboo-like temperament instantly vanished.
Divine Envoy Ming whipped Qin Sanxiang and said with a gloomy expression, "Trying to run?"
Qin Sanxiang disdainfully retorted, "Should I stay here to be tortured by a pervert like you?"
Divine Envoy Ming's face turned ashen, even more so. He whipped her a few more times, while reprimanding, "Bitch, do you know how many people are begging me to become a divine maiden? I asked you to become a divine maiden, and you dare to insult me?"
The whip was dipped in saltwater. Qin Sanxiang gritted her teeth in pain, but her mouth was unyielding, "So what if I curse you? Divine maiden? What a nice name, but everyone knows you just want us as sacrifices! Pervert!"
If she hadn't overheard Divine Envoy Ming and the Great Divine Lord, she might have actually believed that that so-called divine maiden was a good thing!
Her thoughts hitting the mark, Divine Envoy Ming's expression changed slightly. Then he sneered, "Since you already know, I'll tell you directly. You two are sacrifices I'm presenting to the Wood God. If you run again, I'll break your legs!"
He didn't know the origin of these two people. Although their cultivation was low, similar to ordinary divine attendants, they had abundant spiritual energy within them.
As long as these two were offered to the Wood God, the Wood God would bestow the most generous blessings upon the divine temple.
Thinking of this, Divine Envoy Ming became even more enraged at the two fugitives and raised his whip to strike again.
Qin Sanxiang's spiritual energy could not circulate, and the whips that fell on her were real pain. Soon, blood splattered everywhere. Seeing that Qin Sanxiang was about to faint, Xi Men Hongchun gritted his teeth and stood in front of her.
"Oh, you are truly devoted to each other! Then I, Divine Envoy Ming, shall see whether your feelings run deeper, or my whip..."
"Dong dong!" A cautious knocking came from the door.
Divine Envoy Ming retracted his whip with a gloomy expression. "Enter."
A divine attendant walked in from outside. He did not dare to look around, and said with his head lowered, "Reporting to Divine Envoy, the divine maidens and holy sons from the East and West Divine Temples request an audience."
