Just as the Storm Temple had expected, Gray's temporary residence arranged by the Order Temple received a steady stream of visitors.
One after another, Saint-grade organizations came to visit with gifts and smiles on their faces. Their attitudes were polite, without the slightest arrogance of a Saint-grade organization.
If the top clans under these Saint-grade organizations saw this, they would probably doubt their eyes.
Was this really the arrogant Temple that they used to be?
Was this really the unsmiling Temple Head that they used to be?
This was all because the value of a law weapon was too great, so great that even these lofty Saint-grade organizations had no choice but to lower their posture.
And Gray also showed the due enthusiasm towards the goodwill of these Saint-grade organizations. These Saint-grade organizations were his future 'potential customers', so he had to show the necessary enthusiasm.
During the conversation, two Saint-grade organizations clearly expressed that they wanted to ask Gray to refine a law weapon for them, and Gray agreed.
In two or three days, he would be able to obtain something of the same value as a law weapon. He was naturally very happy to do this kind of business that had almost no cost.
After sending off another wave of people, the sky was already dark. Just when Gray thought that no one would come to visit him again, an unexpected person appeared.
This was a middle-aged man, a tall and thin middle-aged man. It was the middle-aged man standing behind the Saint of the Star Temple a few days ago.
Because of the conflict a few days ago, he originally thought that the Star Temple would not send anyone, but he did not expect them to send someone.
Of course, their sincerity was just that. They only sent a Powerhouse without even a congratulatory gift, and their attitude was still very high.
"Congratulations, Sir Gray, for successfully refining a law weapon!"
There was no smile on the middle-aged man's face as he congratulated Gray in a formal manner.
"Many thanks."
Gray responded in a neutral tone, which could be considered as a response.
Gray did not wish to say much, and the middle-aged man did not speak for a long time due to his' reserved 'nature. The atmosphere fell into silence, and after a while, the middle-aged man broke the silence.
"Sir Gray, I actually have a request for this visit."
"I'm sorry. My abilities are limited. I might not be able to help."
Gray decisively refused. Just a few days ago, he had wanted to "forcefully buy" his Rule Bending Weapon, pinching his nose and glaring at him. Now, he actually had the gall to come knocking on his door. He could be considered to have witnessed the thickness of his skin.
"No, His Excellency Gray can do it. This time, I'm here on behalf of the Starry Temple to ask His Excellency Gray to forge a weapon of laws for us. The reward will be the same as the Order Temple's, a rule-type mana herb."
Although it was a request, the middle-aged man's attitude was still very lofty.
"I'm sorry, but I've already agreed to help other Saint-ranked organizations refine law weapons. I don't have time."
As expected, they came for this. Gray sneered in his heart and decisively refused.
Although rule-type magic herbs were good, it also depended on who the trade partner was. Trading with a force like the Star Temple would only make him unhappy. Since he was unhappy, then forget it.
"That's not a problem. My Starry Temple can wait."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"Let's talk about it later. Ying Ba, see the guest out."
Gray had already lost his patience and directly called for Ying Ba to see the guest out.
After being chased out by Gray, the middle-aged man stood up with an ashen face and glared at Gray. He didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Although he was furious, he understood that the other party was a law powerhouse and wasn't someone he could contend against.
The middle-aged man returned to his temporary residence in the Starry Temple with an ashen face.
"Did it fail?"
Seeing his expression, Sage Huo Lei had already guessed the result.
"Yes, Sir Huo Lei. That guy doesn't know what's good for him. My Starry Temple has already lowered our stance, but he still didn't want to let it go."
The middle-aged man furiously said.
"Hmph, he doesn't know what's good for him."
Sage Huo Lei coldly snorted.
"Naive. Do you really think those Saint-ranked organizations can protect you forever?"
His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and his previous plan became even more intense. Since he wasn't willing to help forge a law weapon, then he would just have to contribute his life and the law weapon.
The reason why the Saint-ranked organizations were so enthusiastic about him was because he could forge a law weapon. Once he was killed, the Saint-ranked organizations might not stand up for him.
…
In a few days, new Saint-ranked organizations arrived one after another. After another Saint-ranked organization trade fair was held, the Sacred Trade Fair was nearing its end.
With Shadow Eight and Allen, Gray walked between the trading square and the trading courtyard as a leisurely stroll.
Suddenly, his footsteps paused, and then he continued to walk forward.
"The Earth Vein Fruit has indeed been targeted by other Saint-ranked organizations!"
Just now, he had received news from Saint Walter that not long ago, three powerhouses of laws had attacked the island with the Earth Vein Fruit in an attempt to snatch it.
However, in the face of him and four law blood beasts with combat strength comparable to veteran law powerhouses, the three of them fled with serious injuries.
"There are quite a few Saint-ranked organizations that have their eyes on them. Three law powerhouses have actually joined forces."
Gray wasn't surprised by the three law powerhouses. Back then, when the news of the Earth Vein Fruit leaked, even the people he sent could find out the relevant information, let alone Saint-ranked organizations.
"The Sacred Trade Fair is about to end. Why don't we rush back now?"
Although the three law powerhouses had been repelled, Gray was still a little worried about the three Earth Vein Fruits, and the idea of rushing to the island as soon as possible arose in his mind.
With this decision, Gray immediately took action.
After bidding farewell to the Order Temple and agreeing on a refining time with the two Saint-ranked organizations that wanted to refine the weapons, Gray teleported to the island with Shadow Eight and Allen. In just a short while, he had already arrived at the island from the Order Temple.
Upon arriving at the island, Gray immediately rushed to the location of the Earth Vein Fruits. He saw that the Earth Vein Fruits, which were originally green, had almost completely turned yellow.
The entire runic array was filled with a rich fragrance, which was emitted by the Earth Vein Fruits. Fortunately, it was in the middle of the runic array. Otherwise, the entire island would probably be filled with the fragrance.
"They'll ripen in a week at most."
After personally checking, Gray came to a conclusion. While delighted, he immediately built a wooden house beside the Earth Vein Fruits with his wood ability and stayed there to guard them personally.
Soon, six days passed, and the green color of the Earth Vein Fruits completely turned yellow. The three Earth Vein Fruits were completely ripe.
Gray immediately took out a wooden box, plucked the three Earth Vein Fruits, put them in the wooden box, and stored them in his spatial item.
Even after he stored the Earth Vein Fruits in his spatial item, no law powerhouses came to snatch them. It seemed that the three law powerhouses had given up two days ago, and other than those three, there should not be any other Saint-ranked organizations eyeing the Earth Vein Fruits.
However, he did not know that the three law powerhouses had immediately given up after failing to snatch the Earth Vein Fruits.
The three law powerhouses had joined forces, originally thinking that the Earth Vein Fruits would be theirs, but they did not expect that it was not them who had the advantage in numbers but the other party.
Although the other party was only one person, he had the assistance of four law blood beasts comparable to veteran law powerhouses. His combat strength was almost twice their own.
They had originally planned to gang up on the other party, but they did not expect to be ganged up on and almost died there, paying the price of serious injuries to escape.
After escaping, the three of them did not think about how to take revenge. Instead, they warned themselves not to provoke the Earth Temple in the future. The hidden strength of this organization was too terrifying, and it was not something they could provoke.
In the temporary residence of the Star Temple in the Order Temple.
"He has already left in advance?
Looks like he's on guard against us. "
Saint Huo Lei pondered.
He had originally planned to wait for Gray to leave the Order Temple, but he did not expect the other party to have already left in advance. The other party was clearly on guard against him.
"That should be the case. Two days ago, after greeting the Order Temple and the two Saint-ranked organizations that asked him to refine a law weapon, he quietly left."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Then what should we do?
He doesn't have a fixed residence. It will probably be very difficult to find him in the future. "
The woman said.
"I have a way. He can't escape."
The middle-aged man smiled proudly.
"What way?"
Saint Huo Lei asked.
"I have already inquired about the time he has agreed to meet with the two Temples. Lord Huo Lei only needs to lay an ambush on the path that he must pass through on his way to the two Temples. We will definitely be able to wait for him to appear."
The middle-aged man revealed a cold smile. The memory of being chased out of the courtyard by Gray a few days ago was still fresh in his mind. He had never felt so humiliated before.
Since he could not kill the other party personally, he would contribute to killing the other party and give the other party a big gift.
"Well done!"
Saint Huo Lei's eyes emitted intense killing intent. He had schemed against the other party. Coupled with his strength as a three law powerhouse and his domain law ability that had a sealing effect, the other party would definitely die.
