Chapter 250: Holy See of the Fourfold Order
"It’s because you are in trouble," Tushan Qing replied while patting his head affectionately. "After Tushan Chenye returned and told me about you, I remembered that more than three hundred years ago, I met your grandmother in the White Silver Secret Realm. Later, when the realm was destroyed, she said that among the three people she saw, two girls were not sent to the Spirit Realm. The clan leader believed they must have been responsible for destroying the realm, so he told me to find you and bring you back, and deal with those two girls along the way."
After hearing this, Xiao Shou felt as if thunder had struck his mind.
What did it feel like to dig a hole and bury yourself in it?
He had only wanted to trick this eccentric man, yet in the end, he had trapped himself instead.
Even if it indirectly saved his life, having Tushan Qing as a grandfather was far too overwhelming.
At this point, he no longer had the energy to envy Xiao Ran’s luck.
With her overwhelming fortune, anything could happen for her.
Turning danger into safety was practically routine.
Only now did Xiao Shou realize that the White Silver Secret Realm had indeed been destroyed by Xiao Ran.
It surprised him, yet also felt inevitable.
Back when he saw the world stone shattered, he had already suspected as much, though he dismissed it since she was supposed to have already gone to the Spirit Realm.
As for Yu Lin, Xiao Shou knew from the original story that she did not have that capability.
She was only an early stage antagonist, and her greatest advantage was the opportunity and inheritance she had taken from Xiao Ran.
Destroying a secret realm was beyond her capabilities.
But Xiao Ran’s Heavenly Orb could accomplish such a feat.
Unaware that Xiao Ran had not gone to the Spirit Realm and was still here, Xiao Shou could only nod helplessly. "So that is how it is."
"You... you have gone too far..." Tian Mingxue who had been completely ignored bit her lip and ran to the side.
She posed beautifully in the wind with tears glistening in her eyes forming a picturesque scene.
Tushan Qing glanced at the beauty with reluctance, then looked at his precious grandson.
If his dear grandson were not here, he would have already taken the beauty aside to do as he pleased.
Now he could only look but not touch.
For a man with the bloodline of a terrestrial fox, this restraint was truly cruel.
Even though the woman in front of him was clearly putting on an act, he could tell it would be quite entertaining to play with.
While comforting himself with the thought that he was restraining himself for his grandson’s sake, Tushan Qing let his thoughts wander.
Meanwhile nearby, Fu Young who had been pretending that using his divine ability was extremely taxing nearly burst into laughter at the absurd scene.
He forced himself to hold it in and withdrew his hand as if he had just finished.
At the same time, all the threadlike tendrils vanished.
He coughed lightly and said, barely suppressing his amusement, "Dao Lord, the soul restriction has been removed."
"In that case, let me see what is hidden within this soul," Tushan Qing said, a cold glint flashing in his fox like eyes.
A massive black fox claw formed from spiritual energy pressed down onto the captive’s head.
The expressionless prisoner that was like a puppet immediately began to convulse.
After a moment, blood flowed from all seven orifices as he collapsed lifelessly.
Tushan Qing frowned slightly and muttered, "The Holy See of the Fourfold Order?"
"Dao Lord, did you obtain any useful information?" The others immediately became alert, their eyes lighting up as they looked toward him.
Qing Shuang could not help but ask.
Tushan Qing nodded and briefly recounted the information he had extracted.
It included the hidden agents placed within various sects and families, identities of individuals being trained or observed for potential, the number of groups currently out on raiding missions, their movements, sources of intelligence, and channels for laundering stolen goods.
Most importantly, it revealed information about the Holy See of the Fourfold Order.
It turned out that the Holy See of the Fourfold Order was the true organization behind the Order of Assassins.
The Order of Assassins was merely one of its subordinate branches.
The real name of the organization was the Holy See of the Fourfold Order, which was divided into four divisions: the Order of Assassins, the Order of Holy Judgment, the Order of Silent Echo, and the Order of Golden Fortune.
Together, these four divisions formed the true structure of the Holy See of the Fourfold Order.
The leader of the Holy See of the Fourfold Order held an extremely high status in the Immortal Realm.
For unknown reasons, they were dedicated to collecting merit and resources, resorting to any means necessary.
They established branches of the Holy See of the Fourfold Order across the three realms and cultivated large numbers of Cycle of Cause and End Relics within the Immortal Realm.
Every hundred years, batches of these Cycle of Cause and End Relics were sent down to the Spirit Realm.
From there, they were distributed to various lower worlds.
The members of the organization would store the karmic sins accumulated from a century of slaughter into these Cycle of Cause and End Relics.
Then the merit collection unit, known as the Order of Holy Judgment, would release the sins and orchestrate events where innocent mortals acted as scapegoats.
Afterward, they would eliminate these scapegoats and reclaim the karmic sins into the flowers, thereby deceiving the Heavenly Dao and gaining merit as a reward.
According to orders, the Cycle of Cause and End Relics were left behind in each location.
Occasionally, instructions from the upper realms would designate certain individuals to be excluded from becoming scapegoats and instead be taken away for cultivation.
