ir, provoking a chaotic battle between the three factions vying for them."Something's not right..."In the heat of battle, the Devourer King looked up, his eyes fixed on the elusive Holy Fruit flitting..."And to determine that, we're going to need your help."

Xun Zun spoke, stood up, and walked around the desk, slowly approaching Xu Zhenyun.

"I told Nanyuǎn before that if that lock were opened, it would deal a huge blow to our Sacred Institute," Xúnzūn said slowly. "But I didn't tell her that only Fang Yu, Lín Dào chén and a few others... have the possibility of opening that lock."

As for you, even if you obtain that lock, you won't be able to threaten us with it.

So, Nuan Yuan's idea can be dismissed.

Listening to these words, Xu Zhenyun gritted his teeth, trying hard to keep calm.

Jun Zun had already stood before him.

And he felt immense pressure.

"You cannot threaten us with that lock, but if you could truly bring it back, I would represent the Holy Institution and express my sincerest gratitude to you," Junzun said. "You... can have everything you desire."

This sentence pulled Xuzhenyun's heart from the bottom of the valley instantly back to the sky!

He looked at the patrol officer in front of him, widened his eyes, and asked, "What does the patrol officer mean...”

"Retrieve the lock. That is your mission. If you possess the capability, then you shall obtain everything you desire," Jun Zun stated. "These words embody the will of the Sacred Institute; they shall never break their promise."

But remember, the precondition is... before you get that lock, absolutely do not let Fang Yu realize what the lock does. Absolutely do not let him open the lock!

"Then, the harm inflicted upon our Holy Institution will be repaid to you tenfold!"

Xun Zun's last words were filled with murderous intent!

Xu Zhenyun's heart trembled.

But he's realized... This is a golden opportunity!

Their attempt to counter the Holy See's intentions with that lock was discovered.

Ke Xun remained unangered and gave them even more opportunities!

As long as they retrieve the key, they will have everything they desire!

This is the words of Xun Zun!

Over all these years of collaboration, Qunzun has indeed kept its word.

Every promise, in the end, will be fulfilled.

Therefore, Xu Zhenyun did not doubt this sentence.

So, next... their target is, Fang Yu!

You must find out where that lock is!

"You can convey this to Nan Yuan, Lu Chen, and any other members... who are willing to work for our Holy Academy," Zun said calmly. "Remember, never attempt to oppose the Holy Academy. That will only hasten your demise."

"As long as you behave yourselves, the Holy Academy has no reason to deal with you."

Between their words, the figure of Xun Zun slowly faded away.

Soon, it disappeared completely into the swirling clouds.

Xuzhen stood still, her eyes flickering, thousands of thoughts racing through her mind.

Then Xun Zun told him to relay his words to Nan Yuan and Lu Chen, as well as the other members of the subsidiary bloodlines.

But now he has other ideas.

The prize of the Sacred Institution, if he could have it all to himself... that would be perfect.

at most, only Nanyuān and Lùchén, these two sisters, can be told!

As for the other members of the collateral bloodlines...they were not within his purview.

Therefore... he decided to keep the matter quiet for now!

Anyway, Nanyu and Lucheng can't come out now, so telling them is pointless.

...Now he has the chance to meet Fang Yu in person and get some relevant clues....

"Your Highness, I have an urgent matter to report!"

Just then, a voice full of urgency reached his ears.

"What's wrong" Xuzhenyun came back to his senses and asked.

"That Fang Yu appeared again, he brought a large group of subordinates to visit the residences of Nuan Yuan and Lu Chen Junzhu..." said one subordinate.

"What did he do" Xu Zhenyun frowned.

"He...he's ransacking the place! According to our informants, Fang Yu emptied everything from Nan Yuan Junzhu and Lu Chen Junzhu's residences. When he left, he even sealed the doors… preventing anyone from opening them!" The subordinate exclaimed in horror.

Upon hearing this report, Xu Zhenyun's brow furrowed. He was just about to continue asking when...

"The most, the absolute most crucial and urgent news is... Fang Yu went straight towards His Highness's residence after leaving Lady Lucheng's mansion. He said, maybe Fang Yu's next target is... us!" The subordinate gasped, saying.

As soon as these words were uttered, Xu Zhenyun's face changed drastically!

Fang Yu is coming towards his mansion!

This message came as a surprise to him!

But after a brief moment of surprise, Xu Zhenyun regained his composure.

He was just wanting to meet Fang Yu... and the opportunity came.

This is exactly what he wanted.

"I will have a seat set up in the Welcoming Hall and meet Fang Yu myself." Xu Zhenyun said solemnly.

"Meeting...Understood, my lord!" The subordinate hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

……

In a short while, the golden beetle demon flew to Xuzhenyun's manor gate.

Fan Yu and Qino descended from the sky.

Before it even touched the ground, a male cultivator in official attire was seen with four attendants bowing respectfully before the gate.anslate it probably won't be very helpful anyway.
