Chapter 612 - 610: Meeting
"Hello, Mr. Tie!"
Yan Tong’s face was a bit stiff, and she forced a smile in response.
Even though Ambassador Ke had briefly introduced Tie Xiong’s situation beforehand.
But when she saw Tie Xiong for the first time, she was still shocked by his appearance and aura.
A face full of scars, a grin that was both fierce and terrifying.
He looked more like a professional killer or a homicidal maniac than the head of an important domestic department!
Tie Xiong naturally noticed Yan Tong’s reaction.
However, he just smiled faintly and didn’t mind.
After all, his current appearance was quite frightening.
He had long become accustomed to it.
After greeting Yan Tong, he continued with a smile, "Miss Yan, could you please recount your previous experience to us in detail?"
"Of course!"
Yan Tong nodded without any hesitation.
She described how she was first persuaded to board the ship by Zhang Songkang, and then kidnapped by Lars and others on the way.
Then how Lars and others used the kidnappers to test opening doors, and finally how she escaped from the Blood-colored Divine Temple...
She narrated the entire process in great detail, leaving out none of the remembered details.
After hearing her account, Tie Xiong, Yang Qingshu, and others showed expressions of surprise.
Everyone marveled at Yan Tong’s luck.
She was just the fifth person to push open the second door.
And happened to discover the incense burner under the Evil Ghost statue.
Finally, she happened to find the half-burned incense...
In this process, had she missed just one crucial moment, she wouldn’t be standing before everyone today.
Tie Xiong did not immediately speak.
He kept mulling over Yan Tong’s account, pondering the key points repeatedly.
At this moment, no one else spoke either.
After a while, Tie Xiong finally said, "Miss Yan, could you please describe the statue behind the second door again?"
"Alright!"
Yan Tong nodded slightly and described again, "The statue was located in the center of the square behind the second door."
"Its height was at least as tall as a ten-story building."
"Standing beneath it, I felt as small as an ant."
"As for the statue’s appearance, it was extremely ferocious and terrifying, like an Evil Ghost baring its fangs and brandishing its claws."
"It seemed as if at any moment it would lower its head and swallow me whole..."
"Ferocious and terrifying, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws?"
Tie Xiong quickly caught two key phrases.
He immediately exchanged a glance with Yang Qingshu.
Yang Qingshu also realized something and quickly took out his own Evil Ghost statue from his waist.
"Sister Yan Tong, does it look like this?"
He handed his Evil Ghost statue straight in front of Yan Tong.
"Yes, yes, it looks exactly the same!"
After just a glance, Yan Tong nodded repeatedly and said, "Your statue looks like a scaled-down replica of that one!"
After receiving Yan Tong’s confirmation, the answer became obvious.
Tie Xiong said gravely, "It seems that the Blood-colored Divine Temple is indeed a shrine to worship the Blood God!"
"Hmm!"
Hearing this, Yang Qingshu nodded gently and said, "I really wonder what this Blood God is all about."
"The current large-scale supernatural events nearly all relate to the Blood God."
At this point, he hesitantly asked, "Brother Tie, should we inform the girl in the red dress about the Blood-colored Divine Temple?"
"Well..."
Hearing this, Tie Xiong also hesitated a little.
Technically, he and Yang Qingshu are considered Blood Spirits, the subordinates developed by the girl in the red dress.
Such discoveries as the Blood-colored Divine Temple should be reported to her.
But who knows what that temple is hiding?
If there is something inside that could increase her power, and she obtains it, wouldn’t they then become the sinners of Blue Star?
The current silence of the girl in the red dress is because she and the Immortal Taoist Zhenyuan fought to a draw.
The forces are evenly matched, neither capable of defeating the other, so naturally, peace prevails.
But this peace is fragile.
Because if one side’s power level changes drastically, the present peace will immediately collapse.
If the girl in the red dress gains the upper hand first, then all of humanity, and indeed all of Blue Star, will face disaster!
"Let’s keep it hidden for now!"
Tie Xiong shook his head after considering for a moment.
"That’s what I think too."
"But I’m afraid she’ll somehow sense it!"
Yang Qingshu said with a look of helplessness.
Mentioning this, Tie Xiong also showed signs of anxiety.
Pretending to be a double agent is indeed challenging.
"If we could quickly resolve the issue with the Blood-colored Divine Temple, we should be able to keep it a secret from her, no?"
At this point, Tie Shanshan, standing aside, spoke up.
"That does make sense."
Tie Xiong nodded, then sighed, "But the Blood-colored Divine Temple has already vanished completely."
"Heaven knows when it might appear again."
This issue was indeed troubling them critically.
The Blood-colored Divine Temple appeared very suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly.
No one knows when or where the Blood-colored Divine Temple might next appear.
"We better stay here and wait for a bit longer."
"To see if the Blood-colored Divine Temple reappears nearby."
Tie Shanshan suggested again.
Tie Xiong, hearing this, exchanged a glance with Yang Qingshu before slowly nodding.
There was no choice but to rely on this tedious waiting method.
...
Southeast Asia, Celebes Sea.
A speedboat sped across the sea like an arrow, kicking up white waves, seemingly leaving a silver lightning trail across the sea.
Onboard, several young men and women enjoyed the sea breeze, drinking and cheering.
"Dangda! Dangda! Stop quickly!"
"Look over there, what’s on that island!"
Suddenly, a young girl shouted loudly to the person piloting the speedboat.
Hearing the call, Dangda looked in the direction she pointed.
Only to see a few hundred meters away, on a small island, stood a building entirely blood-red in color.
"Hmm?"
Seeing it, Dangda immediately showed surprise.
He thought it was an illusion and rubbed his eyes hard.
But after rubbing, the blood-colored building appeared even clearer.
"I remember we didn’t see any structures on that island before!"
Dangda quickly slowed down, exclaiming in surprise.
"Yes, I also remember clearly, there was nothing on that island."
Another young man with dreadlocks nodded in agreement.
"This... This is the Blood-colored Divine Temple!"
A short-haired girl stared blankly at the blood-colored building, her voice trembling.
