The moment Xiao De appeared, the steward of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had secretly notified the people within Mount Han. However, when he saw the brightening brown light in Xiao De's darkening beast eyes, he knew that they would be too late. He prepared himself to rush in front of Chen Changsheng to defend him and then hope that a response would come from Mount Han as quickly as possible.
This demi-human expert known for both his intellect and his insanity, this proud son of heaven, once he resolved to move, would have certainly calculated all possibilities. Even if he wasn't able to kill Chen Changsheng, as long as he humiliated the future Pope somewhat, he would consider his goal accomplished. However, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was not willing to see this occur.
There might be problems between the Pope and the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, but how could the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets simply stand aside as the future Pope was humiliated on their own territory?
