Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

This is not impossible; after all, many intelligent people can come up with ideas for temples.

If they don't want to be incorporated into the temple in the future, they will inevitably have to stand on the opposite side of the temple.

Taking advantage of the magician's situation, many people wanted to see the outcome of this battle and also wanted to see the temple's trump card.

After all, the Forbidden City is a very complex place!

Apart from Eternal Day, no one dares to easily antagonize the temple.

"Most of these people are probably just here to watch the battle and try to find out what's going on with the temple."

"I don't believe they would fight the temple alongside magicians; they probably don't have the guts."

The head of the Long family looked deep and spoke coldly: "After all, we haven't infringed on their interests yet, so they won't openly break ties with us."

"That being said, we must still be on guard."

The king tapped the table lightly with his index finger and said, "Master and the magician have always had a good relationship. It's hard to say he's not here to help the magician."

Everyone held their breath.

The Master Brother's Thriller Paradise boasts two super-S level powerhouses, which is something that deserves serious attention.

"How many powerful figures have entered the capital from Yongzhou's side?"

"Among those we discovered were Vice President Liu Shiyun, as well as experts from the Iron-Willed Tenderness Team, the Thunder Team, and the Rainy Night Team."

"As for Chen Jing'er and Lin Xiaoyou of Black Rose, they are nowhere to be found, but they will definitely not be absent."

The old man then recounted the newly received intelligence.

In today's world, with order broken down, it is incredibly difficult to know the movements of the world's strongest individuals and their true strength without cameras.

Much of their intelligence can only be obtained through eyewitnesses.

"Within the Eternal Day, there are only four S-rank powerhouses: the captain of the Iron-Willed Tenderness Team, Divine Punishment of the Thunder Team, Chen Zuoshang of the Black Rose Team, and Lin Xiaoyou. The others should all be at the peak of A-rank."

"Even with the addition of the Magician, who is a super S-rank, it would still be enough to mobilize the Ten strongest warriors."

The head of the Langya family spoke slowly.

"You may be overlooking something."

The king's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said, "The magician has subdued a fourth-tier mutated tiger; its strength is terrifying. In addition, there is a third-tier giant panda, whose strength is at least S-rank."

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

Very few people present knew this information.

"but……"

The king looked at the people below and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry about Eternal Daylight; the Temple is more than capable of handling it. If they can't even suppress one guild, how can they talk about unification?"

"The key point is—"

The king paused at this point, then added, "Those experts who have entered the capital are the ones we need to deter and stop."

"Your Majesty, we can send someone to contact them and find out their intentions. If they are here for the magician, it would be best to send strong men to stop them outside the Forbidden City, otherwise, it will cause more trouble."

The head of the Long family said calmly.

"That's what I think too."

The king nodded in agreement.

"I've already contacted quite a few guilds, asking them to stop the powerful figures from Yongzhou from entering the capital. I've also contacted Qin's Moon and Xinyue Club to help Master Brother."

"This time, let the world see the power of the temple."

"The king is wise," the crowd praised.

Just then.

The doors of the main hall suddenly shook, and blinding beams of light shone in through the cracks.

A powerful aura surged forth, shaking the entire hall.

"Who?"

The head of the Long family shouted.

However, even faster than his voice came a terrifying blade of light.

The blade beside the king struck instantly.

The terrifying blade light, as if splitting the heavens and earth, slashed towards the gate of the main hall.

Wherever the blade's edge passed, everything was cleaved into dust, even the earth itself was carved with a deep trench.

"boom--"

The terrifying strike cleaved the temple gate into pieces, then plunged into the blinding light.

What's shocking is...

The blade's edge, upon encountering the light, crumbled into nothingness and vanished without a trace.

Everyone was utterly shocked to see this.

The blade's power was terrifying to the extreme; they had never seen anyone easily neutralize it.

"alert!"

A terrifying magical power surged through everyone's bodies as they solemnly looked towards the doorway.

This is the heart of the temple. Who on earth dares to trespass here?

And they actually broke into this place.

A figure slowly appeared in the light.

"Shuguang greets Your Majesty." The visitor bowed slightly and offered a salute.

"Dawn!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone's pupils contracted.

Because of this name, in the temple's overall strength assessment, he is ranked among the top tier of super strong individuals, alongside only a handful like the Magician and the Master.

It belongs to the top level among the Super S level.

"Dawn, you've been a bit presumptuous to force your way into the temple," the king said, his eyes narrowed and his voice low.

"I'm sorry, I had no choice but to do this." Shuguang bowed again.

Seeing the man's actions, the king's expression softened considerably.

"Dawn, what brings you here?"

"Shall we talk privately?" Dawn glanced at everyone in the hall, clearly not wanting them to know.

The king was silent for a moment, then said, "Come with me!"

With that, he led Blade into the back of the temple.

"This glimmer of hope gives me a very bad feeling; it's extremely dangerous."

After the others left, the Long family patriarch finally relaxed.

"I feel that Blade might not be his match."

"This is the core of the temple, guarded everywhere. How did he get in so silently?" The more the family heads talked, the more horrified they became.

"This person could kill anyone with ease, including me."

The head of the Langya Xiao family squinted as he spoke. He was the only S-rank expert among those attending the meeting.

He said that, which shows how terrifying the dawn is.

"Are the magicians in the same tier as Dawn also this strong?" Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath.

Then they all fell silent.

"I wonder what he and the king were talking about?"

No one answered.

Half an hour later, two terrifying auras suddenly surged up from behind the temple, but quickly subsided.

"What happened?"

Everyone jumped up from their seats in shock.

Then the king and Blade came out, their expressions not good.

"It seems the talks have fallen through?" This thought silently arose in everyone's minds.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please go back and prepare."

"I want you to understand that as long as the temple exists, you are the ten pillars of power. If the temple loses its prestige, you will be no different from the guilds outside."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill and silently withdrew.

"Blade, do you think Dawn can persuade the magician?"

After everyone left, the king slowly spoke.

"I think it will be difficult. Things have gotten too big now, and neither side has a way out. Just as he couldn't persuade the king, it will be difficult for him to persuade the magician as well."

Upon hearing Blade's words, a glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes.

"It doesn't matter. This troublemaker who is challenging the temple must be eliminated."

"Let's arrange those things first. We must stop Yongzhou's people heading north beforehand. I only allow the Magician to enter the capital; I want him to be isolated and helpless."

"I'll take care of it right away."
