Li Fei Yu also looked serious as she murmured, “No one thought the situation would develop like this.”
There were two reasons why the news of the true Holy Son’s appearance was not revealed. Firstly, by entering the city, the fake Holy Son had effectively handed over the initiative to the Spirit Religion. Once he was in the city, they could decide whether to kill him or keep him with a single thought, so there was no need to leak such important information in advance.
Secondly, keeping the true Holy Son a secret for so many years made it difficult to persuade the disciples at this critical moment.
In addition, the authorities were also deeply concerned about the events that had befallen the imposter.
Who would show murderous intent towards a fake and secretly take action against him?
They had originally intended to let nature take its course, but they never expected the disciples to be this enthusiastic about it.
“Do you think he planned this all along?” Ma Cheng Ze suddenly asked.
Li Fei Yu seemed to not hear him as she remained silent for a long time before finally saying, “We can only find a way to resolve the situation now; otherwise, if all of the disciples gathered here and someone took advantage of them, there will surely be chaos!”
“Just look at these people. Each and every one of them is devout to the extreme. If you drive them away now, not allowing them to see the Holy Son’s appearance, they will probably fight you to the death!”
“Who said we won’t let them see him?” Li Fei Yu scoffed, “Since they want to see him so badly, let them. He’s just a fake anyway. Letting the disciples gather to observe him won’t damage the reputation of our Spirit Religion.”
“Do you have a plan?” Ma Cheng Ze’s eyes lit up.
Li Fei Yu didn’t respond but instead waved to a cultivator from the Lake Order who came over immediately. She gave him some instructions, and he nodded repeatedly before leaving quickly.
Ma Cheng Ze listened to the instructions and gave Li Fei Yu a big thumbs up, “What a great plan! I admire you, Junior Sister Li. The ones in charge of gathering information sure are quick-witted.”
…
30 kilometres outside the Eastern Second Gate, Yang Kai and Zuo Wu You flew straight towards Dawn City’s direction. Surrounding them were numerous elites from the Light Spirit Religion that were ‘protecting’ them from all sides, not leaving their side at all.
These people were part of the search team sent out to look for these two, so after finding them, they stuck with them all the way.
More and more people joined the group as they went.
When he saw this, Zuo Wu You became completely relieved and had nothing but admiration for Yang Kai.
With the protection of so many Spirit Religion elites, the person behind the scenes could no longer act recklessly, and all it took was the release of some information, which could almost be said to have been effortless.
They quickly arrived at the city. From afar, Zuo Wu You and Yang Kai could see the crowded people outside the city.
“Why are there so many people?” Yang Kai couldn’t help but be surprised.
Zuo Wu You pondered for a moment before sighing, “The people of the world have suffered for a long time under the threat of Black Ink Strength. With the emergence of the Holy Son, hope has arrived. They probably all came to witness the glory of the Holy Son.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
After a moment, under the gaze of many eyes, Yang Kai and Zuo Wu You landed outside the city gate.
A cold-looking woman and a friendly-faced fatty walked towards them. Zuo Wu You’s expression changed slightly when he saw them and quickly transmitted their identities to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai nodded imperceptibly in response.
As they approached, the fatty smiled and said, “Little Friend, you’ve been through a lot on the way.”
Yang Kai smiled and responded, “Thanks to Brother Zuo’s care, it has been a smooth journey.”
Ma Cheng Ze raised an eyebrow slightly and praised, “Zuo Wu You is indeed remarkable.”
Meanwhile, Zuo Wu You stepped forward to pay his respects, “Greetings, Order Lord Ma, Order Lord Li!”
Ma Cheng Ze patted him on the shoulder, “You’ve done a great job this time. The appearance of the Holy Son is a great joy for my Spirit Religion. After the matter is settled, it will ultimately be your credit.”
Zuo Wu You bowed his head low, “It is my duty, and I dare not take credit.”
“Good,” Ma Cheng Ze nodded, “Go with Order Lord Li, she has something to ask you.”
Zuo Wu You looked up at Yang Kai and replied after seeing him nod, “Yes!”
Then, Li Fei Yu led Zuo Wu You to one side.
Ma Cheng Ze waved his hand and immediately someone brought two spirited horses forward. He gestured, “Little Friend, please. There is still a journey to the Holy Temple.”
Although Yang Kai was a little puzzled, he went along with it and mounted the horse.
Ma Cheng Ze rode on the other horse, leading him towards the city. On the way, the bustling crowd automatically parted to make way for them.
