Above the Luozhou Branch Temple, a burst of green suddenly exploded above the Thousand-Pearl Tree before the gates. Wherever the green light spread, Wood Hall Master Mu Xu, Moon Hall Master Baili Fei, twenty Grand Divine Masters, and eighty Divine Masters appeared out of thin air.
The surviving Divine Masters and Grand Spirit Masters who had reported the matter earlier fell to their knees at once when they saw the two Hall Masters arrive in person.
According to the rules of the Heaven Temple Branch Temple, the few of them had done nothing wrong; they had left the temple under normal circumstances.
But the Luozhou Branch Temple had been massacred, its abbot slain, while they alone had emerged unscathed. From that standpoint, they were guilty.
It was like the commander of a great army whose camp had been razed. Under military law, every surviving soldier would bear a grave crime.
But at this moment, neither Baili Fei nor Mu Xu had the time to dwell on such matters.
"How long has it been since the incident?" Baili Fei asked as he strode into the Luozhou Branch Temple.
"Reporting to Hall Master, it has been exactly two hours since we arrived here and saw those Devil Race murderers fleeing," one of the surviving Divine Masters replied.
"What cultivation were they at? Were there any above the Dao Realm?" Baili Fei asked.
"This subordinate pursued them for some distance. There were absolutely no Dao Realm experts among those Devil Race members."
"Two hours, and no Dao Realm experts. Even if they had grown wings, they could only have fled fifty or sixty thousand li. If they possessed some Spatial Divine Ability and spared no expense, at most they could have gone a million li."
