Bai Di transformed into a white tiger and pounced on the red tiger from behind.
The two tigers tore at each other and roared fiercely.
Bai An helped Huanhuan up. "Mom, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Huanhuan looked in Clement's direction and saw that he had been picked up by Bai Hao.
Bai Hao carried Clement and quickly ran to his mother's side.
Seeing that her youngest son was safe, Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. She covered her chest and coughed. Her voice was hoarse. "Go help Bai Di and kill Wen Qian. Don't let him leave here alive."
"Alright!"
Bai Hao placed Clement on the ground, then transformed into a white tiger and pounced at Wen Qian with his brother, Bai An.
Bai Di was strong to begin with. Coupled with the help of his two sons, Wen Qian quickly fell into a disadvantage and was beaten back.
Wen Qian was forced into a corner. At the end of his rope, he saw Lin Huanhuan and her son standing not far away.
If he caught her, he could make Bai Di and his sons hesitate. He could then have a chance of survival!
Wen Qian pounced on Lin Huanhuan desperately.
Seeing this, Bai Di's heart tightened. He jumped onto Wen Qian's back and bit his neck!
With his fatal spot bitten, Wen Qian had no choice but to slow down and shake Bai Di off his back.
The moment Bai Di landed, Bai An and Bai Hao pounced on Wen Qian at the same time. They bit Wen Qian's forelimbs on both sides and tore off a large piece of flesh.
Bai Di had just seen Wen Qian almost kill Huanhuan with his own eyes. If he had been a step slower, Huanhuan might be a corpse right now.
Killing intent rose in Bai Di's chest.
Wen Qian was seriously injured and staggered to his knees. When he saw Bai Di approaching, not only was he not afraid, but he also laughed sinisterly.
"I'm the high priest of the Sun God Temple. So what if you can beat me? Do you dare to kill me?!"
In this era of divine authority, divine authority reigned supreme.
Priests who violated the law and committed crimes could only be judged through an internal meeting of the temple. Outsiders had no right to interfere, let alone punish them.
According to the rules, even if Wen Qian was guilty, Bai Di could only tie him up and send him to the 10,000 Beast Temple. He could not touch Wen Qian himself, or he would be violating the temple. At best, Bai Di would be exiled, but at worst, his entire family would be executed!
Although Bai Di was a member of the royal family, he was also controlled by the temple and could not interfere.
Wen Qian was the best at scheming. He knew Bai Di's weakness.
"I know you're not afraid of death, but aren't you afraid of implicating your brother and demoting him from a beast king to a commoner? Aren't you afraid that your sons will become wanted criminals? Aren't you afraid that your entire family will be tied to the stake and burned to death?!"
Bai Di's gaze had turned extremely cold.
But he had to slow down.
Seeing this, Wen Qian became even more arrogant.
He only dared to kill Lin Huanhuan in broad daylight because he knew that no one in Sun City would dare to touch him.
What could the royal family do?
In front of the temple, they were just puppets!
Wen Qian transformed into his human form and stood up shakily. In any case, they had already fallen out. He could not be bothered to maintain his usual gentle appearance.
He laughed and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I have a backer in the 10,000 Beast Temple. Even if you escort me to the 10,000 Beast Temple, I'll be able to walk out unscathed in less than three days. At that time, I'll still be the high priest of the Sun God Temple. What can you do to me?!"
Bai Hao gritted his teeth in anger. He wished he could rush forward and kill this bastard!
Bai Di stepped on Wen Qian with his claws and looked down at him.
"Do you really think I can't kill you?"
Not only was Wen Qian not afraid, but he also provoked the other party. "If you kill me, Sun City will immediately turn upside down. The throne left behind by your father will change hands. Will you let the old man down?"
Wen Qian had been the high priest for many years and had deep roots in Sun City. If he died at the hands of Bai Di, the entire white tiger royal family would become the target of public criticism. At that time, not only would the throne change hands, but even their lives would be difficult to keep.
Bai Di wished he could kill Wen Qian now.
However, reason told him that Wen Qian could not die.
At the very least, he couldn't die here at his hands.
Bai Di raised his claws bit by bit.
At this moment, Huanhuan's voice suddenly sounded.
"Kill him!"
Bai Di paused and looked at Lin Huanhuan.
She jogged over and handed Clement to Bai An. Then, she raised the bone dagger and handed it to Bai Di.
"Now that the prophet is unconscious, as the prophet's successor, I've temporarily taken over the position of prophet. I'll be in charge of the matters of the 10,000 Beast Temple. Wen Qian deceived the people and tried to murder the royal family and a high priest. He should be killed according to the rules. I'll now give you the right to execute Wen Qian!"
They could not let Wen Qian leave. Otherwise, the whereabouts of the prophet would be exposed. At that time, it would definitely attract the pursuit and competition of various factions.
Wen Qian had to die!
Wen Qian's expression immediately changed.
He tried to escape, but Bai Hao, who was prepared, grabbed him.
Bai Hao looked at his father, waiting for his decision.
Bai Di was still in his white tiger form. The tall white tiger was as majestic as a mountain, and his metal armor refracted a cold light. He was an extremely ferocious beast, but he looked gentle when facing his beloved.
He lowered his head and stared at the little female in front of him.
If he accepted this order, it would mean that he admitted that Huanhuan had become the successor of the prophet.
But he didn't want Huanhuan to take on this responsibility.
He didn't want to see her caught in the whirlpool of power struggle.
Huanhuan looked up at the white tiger in front of her and said word by word, "In order to protect me and the children, you were willing to scar your body. In order to protect you, I'm willing to overcome all obstacles and walk to the highest point."
The white tiger didn't move. His blue eyes flickered.
Huanhuan extended her hand. "Will you walk this thorny path with me?"
Bai Di didn't want Huanhuan to be injured and put herself in danger.
He only hoped she could live safely and happily.
However, in this era where the strong were respected, if she wanted to survive, she could only stand higher than anyone else.
He couldn't stop her.
In that case, he could only do his best to protect her and send her to the highest point!
The white tiger became a handsome man.
He looked helplessly at the little female in front of him. "I'll do whatever you say."
Huanhuan was very happy to finally be forgiven by her lover. She quickly asked, "Then are you willing to be my divine guard?"
"Of course."
Bai Di knelt on one knee, clenched one hand into a fist, and pressed it to his chest. "I swear on my soul beast that I'll live and die with you!"
To become a divine guard, one had to sign a contract with the prophet.
Only the prophet knew what to do with this contractual ritual.
Huanhuan didn't understand this, but it didn't matter. As long as Little Brat understood it!
