Cillian lifted the pot and poured water into the teacup. His

movements were graceful as he maintained a calm and composed

expression.

Barton snorted coldly and immediately dialed a number. The call connected, and a respectful voice sounded from the other end, “Mr. Barton, why have you decided to call me?”

Barton cast a disdainful glance at Cillian and asked, “Do you know a purple-robed Path taker with white hair?”

“A purple-robed Path taker with white hair? Are you in Jonford?”

“That’s right!”

“Then it must be Father Cillian from Quiet Winds Church,” the voice

answered with certainty.

“He has crossed me. I hope you can expel him from the Path!” Barton

demanded coldly.

There was silence for a full ten seconds on the other end of the

phone. Just when Barton was starting to get impatient, the voice

finally responded in a troubled tone, “Mr. Barton, could you pass the

phone to him? Let me talk to him.”

Barton handed the phone to Wookie to pass to Cillian.

Wookie put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table.

“Cillian, how did you manage to upset Mr. Barton?” the voice asked,

sounding both amused and puzzled,

Cillian remained silent.

“Motadine is an autonomous region. The Bullhog family holds sway

over both legal and illegal affairs. Moreover, the family has four peak Mystique Loyalty Realm experts. Offending the Bullhogs will not benefit you in any way!”

“So?” Cillian asked succinctly.

“So, I hope you don’t antagonize him!” the voice replied.

“In that case, just expel me from the Path,” Cillian replied lightly.

The Quiet Winds Church no longer existed. He had long lost any

connection to the Path.

When Skadi heard Cillian’s words, her heart trembled slightly. If Cillian were to leave the Path and return to secular life, would she have a chance? She suddenly felt slight gratitude toward the Bullhogs.

There was silence on the other end of the phone before the voice responded, “Cillian, you have a great reputation among those on the Path and are one of the top ten influential figures recognized by the

Path.

“If you return to secular life, we’ll contact the relevant departments to block all your social media accounts!”

Eric could not bear listening to this anymore and picked up the phone. “Master Yakov, do you believe me when I say I can have you expelled

from the Path first?”

The Path Master Sect was one of the Path. Association’s governing

bodies. They held significant authority. Even the application to be a Golden Amulet Master required the Path Master Sect’s seal.

As the vice chairman of the Path Association in Capiton, Yakov did indeed have the authority to dismiss the head priest of a Path sanctuary. However, Eric did not even acknowledge the man.

“You… Are you… Master Eric?”

Yakov’s voice began to tremble when he heard Eric’s voice. Eric was

not only one of the top ten renowned Golden Amulet Masters, but he was also the head of Clear Dew Court. It belonged to the reclusive

sects.

If Clear Dew Court was willing to intervene in the national Path community’s affairs, then the Path Master Sect would have to step aside. Moreover, Yakov had also learned that Eric had become the deputy director of the Religious Affairs Management Institute two

years ago.

The religious affairs managing body was divided into county-level

associations, provincial-level associations, state-level associations,

and the Capiton General Association. The highest was the Religious

Affairs Management Institute.

Although Yakov worked at the Capiton General Association, he was a

level below the Religious Affairs Management Institute.

“The head of the Quiet Winds Church will always be a member of the

Path. You’re not qualified to expel him from the Path!” Eric snorted

coldly.

Yakov trembled and stammered, “Yes, yes! Your word is final!”

Eric hung up the phone and threw it toward Barton emotionlessly. The phone cut through the wind and landed in Barton’s hand. The moment he caught the phone, it exploded.

Barton felt a numbness in his wrist as his feet sank into the sand by ten centimeters. The Mystique Loyalty Realm!
