Rou Ran City, within the Ashi Liren Mansion.
Suo Lun had just received the message sent by Zhen Yan Princess via flying pigeon.
The text was written in a top-secret cipher agreed upon by Suo Lun and Zhi Yan, which only the two of them could decipher.
After reading the secret letter, Suo Lun was shocked.
He knew that Zuo Qiu might be an important figure, but had he realized just how important?
He was actually eight hundred years old and was indeed the founder of the Taoist School. Just a few decades ago he had become the State Preceptor of the Flame Empire.
He was the first, and perhaps the only one who confirmed that the Dragon Emperor was not dead. His life's mission was to find and save the Dragon Emperor.
The existence of this man was indeed the world's top secret.
Moreover, he could potentially have a revolutionary effect on the rule of the Dragon Temple.
So, he died.
He was betrayed by the ruler of the current Flame Empire to the Dragon Temple, and then burnt alive.
