In the late night, under the cold moon and chilling wind, Bu Mei furrowed his brow, heavy with thoughts as he stepped out of Sean Sterling's residence.
Regarding the matter of Wendy, Sean Sterling was astonished after hearing the details. He pondered for a long time before revealing some secrets he knew about the Water Temple.
Sean Sterling had long been famous and had many adventures. With his level of strength, he was somewhat aware of certain hidden forces in the Fran Continent. As he narrated, the mysterious veil of the Water Temple gradually lifted before Bu Mei's eyes.
The Water Temple was an affiliated force of the most powerful ancient power, the Blood Temple, from the Unified Era of Huabao. While people might be unfamiliar with the Water Temple, almost all old-timers were aware of the terrifying force known as the Blood Temple, which was considered taboo.
The reason it was deemed taboo was due to its founder, who had dominated for thousands of years—the foremost figure in the Fran Continent.
The Blood God, Ouyang Nuo Hua, was the most powerful individual five thousand years ago and could be regarded as the greatest person in the history of the Fran Continent. In people's impressions, such an existence transcended humanity and became a deity—the strongest divine being in Fran Continent's history, the Blood God.
A force created by the strongest deity in Fran Continent is undoubtedly terrifying.
The strength of Ouyang Nuo Hua, the master of the Blood Temple, goes without saying. The Guardians within were also unmatched warriors. With tens of thousands of disciples at the Demigod Stage, each one was a prominent figure of their time—truly a gathering of formidable talents.
At that time, the Blood Temple's authority overshadowed the entire Fran Continent; it could be said to reign supreme across all realms.
Among the eight Major Forces under the Blood Temple, the Water Temple was just one. It was rumored to have been established by Loy, known as the Water Goddess and Ouyang Nuo Hua's only companion. Because it rarely participated in wars for unifying the continent led by the Blood Temple, it remained extremely mysterious and little-known.
When a person becomes extraordinarily powerful, their ambition and dissatisfaction will swell even more; they will never be content with their current state. Ouyang Nuo Hua was such a person. He founded the Blood Temple and supported what was then the most powerful dynasty, the Hua Bao Dynasty. After sending disciples and elders to control the entire dynasty, he turned his gaze towards the entire Fran Continent.
Thus began a war; flames of conflict ignited across various nations. With the mightiest Blood Temple backing it up, no one could hinder Hua Bao Dynasty's advance. Even when nearly a hundred countries formed an alliance to resist them, after Ouyang Nuo Hua intervened, seven Demigods fell, and dozens of legends vanished into thin air—the coalition of a hundred nations ultimately became a joke.
No one could stop the expansion of the Unified Empire of Huabao; with each stretch of territory gained, disciples from the Blood Temple would transport vast resources back to it—rare treasures beyond count—and Ouyang Nuo Hua's ambition grew boundlessly.
For over a thousand years, Hua Bao thrived continuously while Blood Temple's explorations across the continent never ceased for even a moment. From stormy seas in Antarctica to ancient ruins in northern regions where gods fell, from cursed grasslands in western desolation to timeless deserts in eastern mysteries—Blood Temple's footprints were everywhere. Its affiliated eight Major Forces also gained fame throughout Fran.
Later on, for reasons unknown, it was rumored that Water Goddess Loy sought to forge a divine weapon and ventured into eastern timeless deserts. For over three hundred years, there was no news from her; it seemed she had fallen into some kind of perilous situation.
This incident alarmed the long-secluded Blood God. When his companion faced danger, regardless of divine matters—even a pig would know to go rescue her—Ouyang Nuo Hua did not hesitate to leave seclusion and headed towards timeless deserts to investigate.
A hundred years passed, and Ouyang Nuo Hua never returned, disappearing into the depths of the ancient desert alongside Water Goddess Loy.
The leader of the Blood Temple, Blood God, along with the Water God of its affiliated force, Water Temple, went missing. This incident caused panic throughout the Blood Temple and the Hua Bao Dynasty. It was treated as an absolute secret, with no information leaked to the outside world. However, secrets cannot be hidden forever, and eventually, the news got out, leading to an inevitable outbreak of war.
The first conflict was a civil war initiated by the two Guardians of the Blood Temple. The other seven halls, excluding Water Temple, joined in.
One faction was led by the left Guardian, Wang Chao, known as the Loyalists, who insisted on maintaining Ouyang Nuo Hua's rightful position as Blood God. The other faction was led by the right Guardian, Chen Feiran, known as the Ambitious Faction, aiming to seize the title of Blood God and control the highest power over the continent.
Following the outbreak of civil war, many nations and forces on the continent that had been suppressed by the Hua Bao Dynasty and Blood Temple for a thousand years seized the opportunity to launch military campaigns.
In the midst of internal chaos within Blood Temple, where allies turned against each other, there was little concern for the safety of Hua Bao Dynasty. The details of the war were unknown even to Sean Sterling; he only knew that when major forces on the continent engaged in a mutually destructive war with Hua Bao Dynasty, they were suddenly attacked by mysterious forces from the underworld.
The war lasted for a century, leaving countless corpses and rivers of blood in its wake, with many twists and turns.
Faced with relentless pressure from mysterious forces in the underworld, all factions on Fran Continent united against this external threat and sought peace with Hua Bao Dynasty. The Blood Temple, fiercely protected by Wang Chao, also joined this alliance to combat the mysterious forces from below.
After sacrificing millions of lives in this war, it finally came to a halt. The Hua Bao Dynasty was destroyed; only eight thousand disciples remained from Blood Temple's original one hundred thousand. Of its eight affiliated halls, only three remained, including Water Temple. Nearly seventy percent of Fran Continent's forces were annihilated. The greatest enemy in this war, later known as Underworld Descendants, also suffered heavy losses and fled back to their underground realm. They were permanently sealed away by Wang Chao and two other remaining Demigod Stage experts.
From then on, the Unified Empire of Huabao ceased to exist. The fragmented Blood Temple chose to retreat into obscurity due to its severe injuries from this great battle.
For thousands of years afterward, although there were occasional rumors about Blood Temple resurfacing, these were merely fabrications by troublemakers. In reality, Blood Temple and its three remaining halls had gradually faded from public attention due to their prolonged seclusion.
However, among some final messages from Sean Sterling was an unexpectedly surprising piece of news.
After a long period of inactivity on the continent, Blood Temple's affiliated force Water Temple had become quite active in recent years.
It was rumored that twenty years ago, a disciple from Water Temple stole a treasured artifact from the temple and defected.
In response, Water Temple dispatched a large number of enforcement disciples to capture him but ultimately found nothing; it was as if he had vanished without a trace. Reluctantly, Water Temple issued a bounty across hundreds of nations for his capture, offering ten thousand Ninth-Grade Azure Jades.
Ten thousand Ninth-Grade Azure Jades represented an extravagant reward; even calling it extravagant seemed insufficient. At that time, all forces on the continent were stirred into action and dispatched numerous personnel for investigation. However, twenty years later, despite the bounty still being active, no one had managed to locate that defector disciple from Water Temple or claim the reward of ten thousand Ninth-Grade Azure Jades.
The story of Sean Sterling ends here. After this, he had nothing more to say, but Bu Shuang felt a chill creeping up his back. Once he stepped out of Sean Sterling's room, the cold wind hit him, causing him to shiver and furrow his brows tightly.
"The defector from the Water Temple, Treasure of the Water Temple," Bu Shuang thought as he retraced his steps. His mind was heavy with memories of Wendy's mother, who also had blue hair and blue eyes, known as the Second Lady.
"The mysterious woman Wendy dreamed of is meant to take her away to the Water Temple to become this generation's Goddess. However, she did not mention anything about the Treasure of the Water Temple. Could it be that this mysterious woman knows Wendy is not yet ready? She wants to find Wendy first and then use her to locate..." As he pondered this, Bu Shuang's pupils constricted and his heart raced. "If that mysterious woman only wants to bring Wendy back to become a Goddess, then there might still be room for negotiation. Even if I can't stop her, she shouldn't harm Wendy. But if it's the latter..."
If she intends to use Wendy to find the Third Lady and locate the Treasure of the Water Temple, then Wendy's life could be in danger at any moment, which would also implicate the Third Lady. What should I do about this?
For a moment, Bu Xin felt overwhelmed and couldn't think of a solution no matter how hard he tried.
According to Sean Sterling, that mysterious woman could send messages through dreams over an unknown distance. This indicated that she possessed at least transcendent power and some form of divine ability. Such a person stood at the top of the continent's hierarchy and was inherently part of the Water Temple. Even they at Holy Light Academy would not dare to offend her easily. If she truly came...
Bu still remembered clearly when Sean Sterling said this in the end, sighing and shaking his head: "If she really comes, Brent, I can't help you with anything. Even within Holy Light Academy, only four people are qualified to intervene in this matter. I advise you not to resist too stubbornly; perhaps things will take a turn for the better."
Such comforting words coming from the usually arrogant Sean Sterling carried a hint of helplessness. Bu understood the seriousness of the situation; it was practically hopeless.
The Tough Guy whom Holy Light Academy did not wish to offend easily—what could he do to resist? He didn't even need to run away; he could only sit and wait for doom because Wendy had already been locked onto by that mysterious woman's dream ability. Where else could he escape to?
