...

Although knowing that within this secret realm, there might be a Temple Envoy stationed in the small town, Qin Fang contemplated for a moment before transforming his appearance and heading towards the town… compared to the previous stealthy approach, this time Qin Fang was much more open.

The reason being, at this moment he was wearing the robe of a Temple Executor…

This was originally collected secretly by Qin Fang when dealing with Ace of Hearts Richie, Diamond A Steve… originally intended for unexpected situations like this, yet it came in handy so quickly.

"This town seems to have existed for quite a while…"

Gradually approaching the town, Qin Fang became more cautious, although always mindful of his surroundings, he didn't deliberately look around, which would have easily exposed him… Yet despite being careful, he discovered the long-standing history of this town.

"Estimated to be at least two hundred years old…"

Qin Fang murmured silently.

In comparison to Dragon Country, such an age is insignificant, but to Freemasonry, it's immensely long… After all, although Freemasonry has a long heritage, its history since sailing across from Europe to the Americas is only about four hundred years.

Excluding the lengthy initial period of struggle over a hundred years, the time truly rooted in North and South America is maybe only over two hundred years!

Calculating from this, perhaps this secret realm was discovered by them just as they crossed the ocean, and rooted step by step… over two hundred years of construction and development, it's unsurprising this secret realm has turned out like this.

Qin Fang steadily moved towards the town center, lowering his profile further… within this town, almost all residents were members of Freemasonry; even an inconspicuous child by the roadside couldn't be underestimated.

Approaching closer to the town's center, the guarding became increasingly stringent, and the scrutinizing gazes Qin Fang received grew numerous… especially after the knights of the Knights of Glory appeared, Qin Fang didn't dare to proceed further.

Should he move further ahead, he would inevitably expose himself… the strict hierarchy within Freemasonry severely limited the activity scope of Temple Executors, the patrols of Knights of Glory indicating the entry into an important zone ahead.

Moreover…

"It seems my luck is quite terrible indeed…"

Qin Fang inwardly murmured, although his little map couldn't cover the Temple ahead, making it impossible to know who populated the Temple, he was almost certain the worst-case scenario he anticipated had arisen.

"The Temple Envoy really resides here…"

This was a neglected detail by Qin Fang earlier, for one of Freemasonry's Three Knight Orders, the Knights of Glory wasn't casually mobilized, and it could only be mobilized by an Envoy of the Temple.

In previous encounters, Qin Fang only saw a few knights from the Knights of Glory, thinking they were stationed by command in this secret realm… now seeing so many knights from Knights of Glory, even patrolling outside the Temple, clearly meant an Envoy of the Temple resided there.

Moreover, not long ago, the young experts from Demonic Gate, Sinister Sect were all sent into the Temple…

Qin Fang's goal of obtaining that array map seemed virtually impossible… unless he infiltrated the Temple immediately, forcefully seizing the array map from those captured Demon Sect Disciples!

Grabbing the array map seemed trivial, those from the Demonic Gate couldn't stop him, even those Temple Executors and Knights of Glory mostly couldn't impede his actions, yet… the real trouble was the Temple Envoy residing within the Temple.

Temple Envoy…

That's the supreme strength of Freemasonry, almost every one of them is at the Supreme Realm level… not a Half-Step Supreme Realm but genuinely refined to the Supreme Gang Body, condensed the Gangqi Territory of a Supreme Realm Powerhouse!

Although Qin Fang's current strength was indeed invincible below the Supreme Realm, against a Supreme Realm Powerhouse, he hardly stood a chance…

Utilizing the strength of Human Origin Golden Pill, barely allows the countering of the Gangqi Territory of a Supreme Realm Powerhouse, yet is still unable to match the Paramount Experts.

"That's… Taurus Sanctuary!"

Qin Fang dared not approach the Temple further, managing past without incident, yet upon sighting the golden statue at the Temple entrance, he already knew the exclusive Temple's owner.

"Taurus Temple Envoy…"

Immediately recalling the information Steve divulged to him, "His strength… seems relatively ranking towards the end among the twelve Temple Envoys, having only advanced to the Supreme Realm for a few years!"

With Steve as an insider, Qin Fang could precisely learn these extremely confidential details, even including some peculiar preferences of Temple Envoys.

"But... it's still not something I can handle!"

The Taurus Temple Envoy was actually a substitute who only came into power a few years ago, and his influence among the Temple Envoys is very low... It can be said that the reason there are so many Honor Knights guarding outside his sacrum is partly to protect the temple, but a significant reason is to protect him as the Temple Envoy.

The position of a Temple Envoy is prestigious, but at the same time, the risks are very high...

The Freemasonry has a huge influence globally and naturally has many conflicts with various major forces... The existence of these Temple Envoys is not only for military deterrence but also requires them to personally take action from time to time.

They are akin to nuclear weapons themselves, but when facing Paramount Experts of the same "nuclear weapon" level, they too must make a move.

"Something's off, there's a problem..."

But suddenly, Qin Fang exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the direction of The Sanctuary.

"Even if his strength has weakened a bit, he's still a Supreme Realm Powerhouse... Although the Knights of Glory are pretty strong, all these Honor Knights combined aren't the match for a Supreme Realm Powerhouse. Adding the Hexagram Array only makes it a fight at most!"

Qin Fang immediately muttered, "Which means, there's no need to send so many Honor Knights to protect one Supreme Realm Powerhouse... Moreover, if I remember correctly, the Knights of Glory should be under the Leo Temple Envoy..."

"But now they're showing up here, unless..."

Suddenly, Qin Fang's eyes widened as if he realized a possibility that shocked him to near speechlessness, "The Temple Envoy is gravely injured, he's here at the sanctuary to heal..."

Beyond this possibility, Qin Fang couldn't think of any other reasons.

"A Temple Envoy who just advanced to the Supreme Realm not long ago and got hurt, even needing Honor Knights for protection... Now that's interesting!"

Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle as he muttered to himself.

"I originally planned to abandon this operation, but now it seems... this sanctuary still needs a visit!"

Qin Fang immediately left this small town.

There were too many eyes here, and although his disguise was impeccable, it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't be discovered. So, Qin Fang quietly left this small town and hid in the forest outside.

There, Qin Fang's strength would be more assured...

Similarly, Qin Fang also needed to make some preparations for his next actions.

"The Split Wind Wolf King's strength has now almost fully recovered, not quite reaching its peak, but close enough... Even if my guesses are wrong, with it and the Human Origin Golden Pill as double insurance, I can still escape."

Qin Fang calculated silently...

"But if my guess is accurate, then the situation... might take another turn!"

"Tsk tsk, a Supreme Realm Powerhouse... even imagining it feels a bit thrilling! If I can take down one, whether it's experience points or items... it'll be a jackpot for me!"

This is absolutely not a joke.

Supreme Realm Powerhouses are already the group of experts standing at the pinnacle of this world, and globally there are only about a hundred of them. Each one possesses terrifying strength, comparable to a Terrestrial Immortal.

Even though Qin Fang's current strength is incredibly terrifying, encountering a Supreme Realm Powerhouse... even a newly ascended Supreme Powerhouse could beat Qin Fang thoroughly, it represents a true gap in Realm.

But if Qin Fang had the chance to eliminate one Supreme Powerhouse... even an injured one, it would be an enormous breakthrough for him.

Experience points are just a small matter... they're guaranteed to be abundant, but Qin Fang can accumulate them gradually and won't lose out much.

Items, secret techniques, and more, these are what Qin Fang is truly interested in.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang's strength has hit a bottleneck, and he needs a breakthrough opportunity... Battling against the Half-Step Supreme Realm Experts several times has benefited Qin Fang immensely, but the effects have started to wane, making him naturally want to set his sights further.

Until now, Qin Fang dared not covet Supreme Powerhouses... the disparity between them was too vast, and reckless confrontation would be a nightmare.

But now it seems a very good opportunity is right in front of him... a Supreme Realm Powerhouse who has been injured, Qin Fang is unsure of how much strength he has left, but no matter how weak, it's certainly much stronger than Half-Step Supreme Realm Experts, making it perfect for Qin Fang right now.

Thus, as night fell, Qin Fang set out from the mountain forest, swiftly heading toward the small town, toward that temple... this night was destined not to be peaceful, as almost simultaneously, the Eighteen Underworld Beasts, Split Wind Wolf King had also prepared themselves.
