Chapter 2724 Taking the Fall

Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~

...

The heirloom artifact is indeed very powerful, but it is not without flaws... At least, using the heirloom artifact will drain quite a bit of strength from a Supreme Powerhouse, and it takes at least three to five days to recover slowly.

In other words, if someone really has used the heirloom artifact in this Mystic Realm, then that Supreme Realm Powerhouse is currently in a weakened state.

A weakened Supreme is still just a Supreme Realm Powerhouse.

If pursued by two Temple Envoys from the Freemasonry who have reached the Supreme Realm Level, facing two against one, there's a very high possibility they'd be killed by these two joining forces... at the very least, they'd be gravely injured and near death!

Using the heirloom artifact?

That's just wishful thinking; a weakened Supreme Realm Powerhouse no longer has the strength to activate the heirloom artifact... Unless they use some particularly forbidden elixir to forcibly restore their strength, they could then activate and start the heirloom artifact.

But the problem is...

During this short process, this Supreme Realm Powerhouse could be killed several times over by the two Temple Envoys!

So, Radrosi and Aaron are clearly aiming for this.

If they can take down this Supreme Realm Powerhouse wielding the heirloom artifact, it would, on one hand, eliminate an enemy for the Freemasonry and avenge Ocello and the Golden Bull Sacred Beast, and on the other hand, they can claim this heirloom artifact for themselves.

They are Temple Envoys for the Freemasonry, thus everything they do is loyal to the Freemasonry beyond measure, with no intent of hiding anything, even if they retrieve the heirloom artifact, they'll hand it to the core of the Freemasonry for communal safekeeping.

Being Earth's most powerful force, aside from the twelve Temple Envoys, Freemasonry actually possesses one heirloom artifact of its own...

If they could have two heirloom artifacts, then the strength of Freemasonry would absolutely soar rapidly...

Imagine, twelve Temple Envoys attacking a Great Sect together, ten Temple Envoys restrain the opponent's Supreme Realm Powerhouse, while the remaining two Temple Envoys can use two heirloom artifacts to wipe out all enemies.

Even if the opponent also has an heirloom artifact, after canceling each other out one-on-one, Freemasonry still has one heirloom artifact available, maintaining an absolute advantage!

Perhaps, the balance of the entire world might change drastically due to the change of ownership of such an heirloom artifact.

"Do we need to wait for others to join us?"

Aaron fell silent for a moment, but couldn't help but remind.

Chasing down that Supreme Realm Powerhouse who destroyed a Temple of the Freemasonry is a task they must complete, but there will be other Temple Envoys arriving later; if they gather more Supreme Realm experts, the chances of seizing the heirloom artifact will be much higher.

"The opponent has already left for some time; time is quite urgent, and the distance to the shoreline is not particularly far... Once the opponent lands, it won't be so easy for us to act!"

Although Radrosi seems fierce, he is actually bold and meticulous, and he immediately and simply explained.

"Since that's the case, then let's set out immediately to pursue... Meanwhile, leave some people to alert those coming after us! Maybe they can still help us at the critical moment!"

Aaron also gave a simple instruction.

Though this Temple has been destroyed, with the Temple, Temple Envoys, and Divine Beast Spirit altogether eliminated, whether Freemasonry will set up the Taurus Sanctuary again in the future remains unknown.

However, this place is a base of Freemasonry, so it won't be easily abandoned.

Rebuilding this base is almost certain.

Therefore, they've also left some people here to guard...

Firstly, to prevent others from intruding, occupying the place, and secondly, to alert the Temple Envoys coming later so they quickly catch up to Radrosi and Aaron, joining the pursuit of the Supreme Realm Powerhouse.

Catching up means they can join forces to surround and kill such an opponent.

Even if they arrive a bit late, they can help protect the heirloom artifact as it returns to the Freemasonry Main Temple...

Can't seize the heirloom artifact?

Clearly, Radrosi and Aaron have never entertained this scenario.

...

"If there's a chance next time, we can let the Little Dragon feast heartily!"

The reaction from the Freemasonry was something Qin Fang had already predicted, so after he walked out of the Treasure Repository, he made almost no stops and quickly left the Mystic Realm directly!

He certainly didn't want to run into the people from the Freemasonry...

The people from the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect left even earlier than Qin Fang did.

The ship that Qin Fang came with was naturally taken away by them, so Qin Fang could only rely on himself to land... The journey of several hundred nautical miles is almost an impossible mission for many, but for Qin Fang, it was rather easy.

The Little Dragon is still digesting the Golden Bull Sacred Beast's Beast Soul power...

It's still in its infancy, and wanting to grow rapidly was originally almost an impossible mission... Earth's environment is too harsh, and for the Little Dragon to survive is already a miracle, which is due to the blood covenant between it and Qin Fang. But similarly, due to the blood covenant, Qin Fang's strength imposes certain constraints on the Little Dragon.

This means that if Qin Fang's strength doesn't improve, then the Little Dragon cannot grow either...

That's why from the moment Qin Fang acquired the Little Dragon, he has been rapidly growing, while the Little Dragon has almost always remained stagnant... The Little Dragon is a Divine Beast; even at the infancy stage, its strength is quite formidable, almost equivalent to a human Martial Artist at the Great Grandmaster Level Peak, Half-Step Supreme Realm.

It wasn't until Qin Fang reached the Great Grandmaster Level and his strength achieved the Half-Step Supreme Realm that the Little Dragon truly began to grow...

However, the speed is naturally very slow; as long as Qin Fang doesn't enter the Supreme Realm, the Little Dragon will also be hard to advance... At most, it can only accumulate, accumulate again at this level, but the Little Dragon is a Divine Beast; innately strong, its combat power, even at this current level, is not weaker than that of Supreme Realm Powerhouses.

And now, having devoured such a Divine Beast's Beast Soul, it is akin to providing a hearty supplement to the Little Dragon...

Although it still can't make the Little Dragon advance directly, at least its Divine Soul level has been upgraded, and the power it can wield is much stronger than before... The combat power has leveled up substantially.

Only such a Divine Beast's Beast Soul could provide such a terrifying enhancement, and the Freemasonry still has eleven more Divine Beast Spirits, it's no wonder Qin Fang has set his sights on those Temple Envoys.

"However, now is clearly not the appropriate timing, it's better to wait and see later..."

Now the Little Dragon has just devoured the Golden Bull Sacred Beast's Beast Soul, fully digesting it will take some time, another Divine Beast Spirit won't be excessive, but will affect the efficiency of digestion and absorption.

Rather than wasting like this, it would be better to prepare well next time and conduct one complete devouring.

At this moment, Qin Fang is slowly drifting underwater, stealthily heading towards the coast... The Little Dragon is a Water System Divine Beast, and now it exhibits its formidable strength; even amid the closed consolidation of its Beast Soul power, it can still spare attention to assist Qin Fang.

The Freemasonry forces are certainly in such a marine area around the Mystic Realm, massively searching for the "culprit" Qin Fang, if the juniors from the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect don't run fast enough, they are likely to be caught by the other party.

However, the lives of these people are actually of no concern to Qin Fang.

The reason he saved them and kept them, was not out of goodwill, but entirely to let these folks take the fall for him...

The prowess of the Freemasonry in North and South America is very formidable, even the Madman Tribe rampaging in South America doesn't dare to provoke the Freemasonry lightly... Of course, if there occurs a very severe conflict, that may be another matter.

For example, the injury of Taurus Temple Envoy Ocello was actually inflicted by a Paramount Expert from the Madman Tribe, but despite being guilty first, the Freemasonry was angry with the sea people yet couldn't vent it.

Nonetheless, this doesn't negate the influence of the Freemasonry in South America...

Especially near the coastline towards the Main Temple direction, it has long been infiltrated by the Freemasonry... It's unknown how many of Freemasonry's agents are hidden here, watching the movement near the coastline.

The juniors from the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect might think their actions are careful and cautious enough, but they don't realize their actions have long been observed by the opposition,

Perhaps when they went over, the Freemasonry didn't suspect much.

But at this time, they're returning from the sea, which inevitably incurs suspicion from the opposition.

These individuals are from the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect, though individually much weaker than the Freemasonry, combined together, might not be far off, might even be stronger.

Among the major powers in the Underground World holding Heirloom Artifacts, there are only a few, but among them are the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect...

The Freemasonry will certainly investigate the cause of Ocello and the Golden Bull Sacred Beast's death, but disrupted by Qin Fang, it will reasonably implicate the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect, allowing Qin Fang to easily extricate himself from this whirlpool, but Qin Fang pushes the two major powers, the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect, into the water.

The Freemasonry is very powerful, major incidents like this, such an uproar, they won't let go easily, yet the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect aren't just for show...

If it really comes to a fuss, it's hard to say who would win, and naturally, as the instigator, Qin Fang is happy to watch from the sidelines, observing how he had orchestrated this "masterpiece", conveniently using it to deal with his competitors and enemies!
