"Great Elder Demis … Y-You … You're not joking, right?"
The other three Temple Elders' faces were also filled with shock. They looked at the First Elder of the Temple in disbelief … They had thought of all sorts of countermeasures, but they had never thought of this.
"Now that things have come to this, how could I possibly joke about it?"
Great Elder Demis shouted with a grave expression.
"B-But …"
The three Temple Elders were clearly still somewhat hesitant. They knew better than anyone else … Mobilizing the Celestial Guard was a serious matter. If they were the slightest bit careless, the four of them would definitely be destroyed.
"Sigh, give the order … We have no other choice!"
However, after thinking it over and over again, the three Temple Elders had no choice but to agree … Qin Fang had broken the God-trapping Magic Array and escaped from here, which brought them a very bad influence.
If they could not capture Qin Fang, or bring back the God-Slaying Spear and Angelic Wings, then the four of them would have to bear the consequences of this matter. The outcome would be very tragic … Even if their statuses in the Sacred Mountain were rather high, it would be useless.
"Your Excellency Holy Son …"
Great Elder Demis stopped the other three Temple Elders from speaking and turned to look at Holy Son Peter. "This matter arose because of you, so I presume … You won't stay out of it, right?"
Speaking of which, this matter had indeed arisen because of Holy Son Peter …
Even the ambush on Qin Fang this time had been arranged by Holy Son Peter.
Unfortunately, there was a flaw in every plan. Qin Fang had actually easily found the weakness of the God-Trapping Array, broke it with one strike, and then calmly escaped!
"Of course I won't stay out of it …"
Looking at the four Temple Elders with grave expressions and ominous gazes, Holy Son Peter very calmly said, "In order to cooperate with the Sacred Mountain's Celestial Guard in encircling Qin Fang, I will also send four Saint Knights to participate in the encirclement …"
"Good!
Then it's settled … "
Great Elder Demis took a deep look at Saint Peter. In the end, he made his decision.
The Sky God Guard was one of the ultimate forces of the Holy Mountain. It was the strongest force guarding the Holy Temple and the most loyal troop to the Holy Temple.
They were carefully selected from the most devout believers. From their conception, birth, cultivation, and so on, the Sacred Mountain had spent an enormous amount of resources to nurture them step by step.
Although there were only twelve of them, they were the strongest warriors!
At the same time, they were the most cold-blooded butchers and executioners!
Once they received an order, they would do whatever it took to complete the order … Any power that tried to stop them would be met with their cruel counterattack!
No one could do it!
Including the person who gave them the order!
This was also the reason why the other Temple Elders reacted so strongly when Elder Demis mentioned the Empyrean God Guards. Once the Empyrean God Guards were mobilized, the consequences would be hard to control.
If things went wrong, it could lead to a chaotic war between the two superpowers or even the three superpowers.
It was just like the Holy Mountain's trial. No matter how great the enmity between them was, everyone was relatively restrained. Towards some trial takers with special statuses, they generally wouldn't kill them … This was because they had to take into account the background and backing behind them.
But the Empyrean God Guards didn't care about this and killed without mercy!
Just chasing down Qin Fang wasn't a big deal. Although there were rumors that Qin Fang was a disciple of the Righteous Path Alliance's Kunlun Sect … the Kunlun Sect wasn't enough to make the Holy Mountain feel apprehensive.
But if the Righteous Path Alliance acted, it would be a completely different story.
The Empyrean God Guards didn't care who the other party was and would kill without mercy. This would easily lead to a blood feud between the Holy Mountain and the Righteous Path Alliance, and the consequences would be hard to control.
If the Crazed Emperor was enraged, who knew how many people from the Holy Mountain would die!
Even the twelve members of the Empyrean God Guards might not be able to escape alive …
But …
Great Elder Demis and the other Temple Elders didn't care so much. Only by capturing Qin Fang or taking back the God-Killing Spear or Angelic Wings would they be able to get through this crisis.
Saint Knights were one of the top forces of the Church.
Normally, the most outstanding Saint Knights would be selected from the Holy Light Knight Regiment to be trained independently … and after countless eliminations, they would be able to grow into the most powerful Saint Knights.
However, these Saint Knights weren't under the command of the Holy Light Knight Regiment, but under the personal command of the Pope. They could be considered one of the Pope's personal guards.
Of course, Saint Peter hadn't yet taken over the position of Pope. At most, he could be considered a crown prince. But the old Pope regarded him highly, and Paul had directly sent six Saint Knights to protect him.
This time, Saint Peter had directly sent four Saint Knights to accompany the Empyrean God Guards to hunt down Qin Fang. This could be considered a huge investment … He had even cast aside his own safety.
It was also because of this that Great Elder Demis and the others didn't have much of a problem with Saint Peter.
Of course, although the Saint Knights were very powerful, they couldn't compare to the cold and heartless Empyrean God Guards … Thus, these four Saint Knights could at most be considered as errand boys. The true main force was still the Empyrean God Guards.
Perhaps this was Saint Peter's little scheme …
As long as they weren't at the forefront, the Saint Knights could escape at any time before the situation worsened, and the Empyrean God Guards would take all the blame.
In any case, the Empyrean God Guards were notorious and had already taken the blame countless times, so it didn't matter if it happened one or two more times.
How could Great Elder Demis and the others not see through Saint Peter's little scheme?
However, they hadn't really planned on letting Saint Peter get involved in this matter … They simply wanted Saint Peter to make a statement and bleed a bit … Otherwise, they would have to take the blame themselves.
And once the Empyrean God Guards succeeded, Qin Fang's treasures would naturally be taken away by them. Trifling four Saint Knights couldn't hope to take away those treasures from the Empyrean God Guards.
Although both sides were collaborators, they both had their own plans.
And as the central figure of this chase … Qin Fang, at this moment, was leisurely walking on the road of the Holy City. He swaggered, and didn't look like being chased at all.
Naturally, he hid his aura, changed his clothes, and changed his appearance. He was a completely different person. He was just a tourist in the Holy City, so there was naturally no need to worry.
'No good, it's better to leave this place as soon as possible … These people are all lunatics, who knows what they'll do?
If I stay here, I won't be able to completely relax … '
On the surface, he seemed very relaxed, but in reality, he hadn't relaxed his vigilance.
This was the headquarters of the Holy Mountain lineage, and he had caused such a huge commotion. Holy Son Peter and the Holy Mountain lineage would definitely not let him go … To avoid any more trouble, he decided to leave as soon as possible.
"Who is it?"
But at this time, Qin Fang's mind suddenly shook as he subconsciously cried out in alarm.
At the same time, he was on high alert. A boundless killing intent surged as a berserk power condensed in his palm.
"Mister Qin, how could you forget about me so quickly?"
A woman's voice echoed in Qin Fang's ears.
"Athena?"
Qin Fang was startled and looked at this woman in surprise.
Athena had also changed her clothes and hair accessories … Even her appearance had slightly changed. If she hadn't released her aura to Qin Fang, Qin Fang might not have been able to recognize her.
A western beauty proficient in the art of disguise!
This was also why Qin Fang was so surprised … More importantly, Athena was actually able to recognize him with a single glance.
"Hehehehe ~ I spent a lot of time studying your eastern disguise techniques and gained some understanding!
It is indeed a very magical skill … "
Athena wasn't worried by Qin Fang's sudden hostility. Instead, she said with a smile.
"I originally thought that my attainments in the art of disguise were already at the top level in the world!
But I never thought that Mister Qin's attainments in the art of disguise would be so high … If I hadn't already confirmed your identity, I wouldn't have dared to believe that it was true! "
"You can actually confirm my identity?"
Qin Fang attached great importance to some of the information revealed by Athena's words … He didn't care too much about the art of disguise, but the fact that Athena could confirm his identity made him very concerned.
That was to say, Qin Fang's almost invincible Shapeshifting Technique was meaningless to Athena.
"Don't underestimate some of our western techniques …"
Athena did not answer him directly. Instead, she smiled and replied ambiguously, "Other than me, there may be others who can confirm your identity, and … they are coming!"
"They …"
Qin Fang was slightly taken aback. The news brought by Athena was very important to him.
"I don't know if Mister Qin has heard of … the Celestial Guards?"
Seeing Qin Fang become so cautious, Athena didn't seem to intend to hide it and directly asked with a smile.
"The Celestial Guards … it's them?"
Qin Fang originally felt that this matter wouldn't go so smoothly, but he didn't expect that the Holy Mountain was much fiercer than he imagined. They even sent out the Celestial Guards that were rarely used.
And Athena revealed an important piece of information … the Celestial Guards could also see through his transformation technique!
"This is not good news …"
Qin Fang's expression became more and more dignified, his brain working at high speed, quickly thinking of countermeasures!
