Chu Tianjiang didn't intend to let Holmes go, and it wasn't a deception, because everything Holmes said was not to give himself a chance to survive, but to use the opportunity that Chu Tianjiang gave him to obtain some important information and tell this information to Feist.

The point is that Holmes didn't believe that Chu Tianjiang would be able to kill Feist at all.

If he betrayed because he was persecuted, Fest would never forgive him and would even let him die a painful death. In contrast, Holmes is more willing to take risks, even if it is possible to be exposed by Chu Tianjiang and then killed by Chu Tianjiang, at least he will not suffer much before he dies.

Holmes's judgment was not wrong, Chu Tianjiang really didn't let him suffer much.

Killing Holmes is nothing more than dissipating the mass of energy that has accumulated Holmes's consciousness, and the direct death of consciousness will not cause any pain.

Being able to kill Holmes so easily was actually not expected by Chu Tianjiang.

After leaving Doomsday City, Chu Tianjiang took Iska, Soya and Laika back to the Old World as quickly as possible, and came directly to the temple.

It's just that Homs is not in the temple.

Although the temple has been repaired and at least doubled in size, there are no elders stationed here, just ordinary concoctors who pose no threat at all. Iska's spiritual power not only allowed Chu Tianjiang and them to enter the temple without risk, but also allowed Chu Tianjiang to make more discoveries. Although the ordinary members of the church knew very little about the Dao, it roughly allowed Chu Tianjiang to understand the situation here.

Crucially, the temple is the center of the church's research.

Although he didn't go to the concoction field, and it was impossible to predict that Long Baduo would die, according to what he knew, Chu Tianjiang realized that the relationship between Holmes and the patriarch sent by Feist, that is, Uma, was not harmonious, and her appearance made Holmes feel threatened.

In a sense, Umma's appearance shows that Feist no longer trusts Holmes.

It's not that Feister thinks Holmes is half-hearted, it's that he no longer trusts Holmes's abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have made a patriarch like Uma.

Obviously, one day, Uma will replace Homs.

What's more, with Holmes's mind, it is impossible not to see this problem, and it is impossible to do nothing and wait to be replaced by Uma.

Of course, Holmes simply could not tolerate such an outcome.

For more than 500 years, Holmes has been managing the church as the spokesperson of Fest, and is the de facto ruler of the church. The appearance of Uma undoubtedly threatened the authority of Holmes. If replaced by Uma, even if he retains his status as a patriarch, Holmes will not be able to face the rest of the church, especially those who have been orchestrated by him. For an old man who has lived for more than 500 years and has contributed to the church for more than 500 years, status is more important than anything else.

That is, Holmes will definitely try to prove himself, prove his strength with his actions.

The problem is that Holmes is not a fighting senator, and it is impossible for him to prove his strength by defeating his enemies like other senators.

Because he knew so many things, Feister wouldn't let him fight like a warrior.

If Holmes wants to prove himself, he can only use other methods, such as creating a super powerful patriarch with his own hands, preferably to surpass Uma.

Thinking about this, Chu Tianjiang formulated this set of plans to deal with Holmes.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't come forward in person, and he didn't let Iska come forward. Although he and Iskar were able to deceive the people of the church by changing their appearances, Holmes knew them well and might not be able to hide them from Holmes. Neither can Soya, because Homs has seen her too.

Only Laika fits, because Holmes has never seen her.

What's more, Laika was originally a person from the United Continent and did not participate in Chu Tianjiang's actions on the Northern Continent and the New Continent.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't let Laika take too much risk.

Although Laika is an energy person and will not be driven by Holmes's spiritual power, Holmes understands the energy body, and if he is allowed to enter Laika's body, he is very likely to control Laika and even occupy Laika's body. For this reason, Chu Tianjiang prepared the energy sphere for Laika that was specially designed to contain Holmes's consciousness. Just doing so, there is a certain risk, that is, it may be recognized by Holmes.

Fortunately, Holmes was not aware of the anomaly at all before falling into the trap.

Perhaps, he didn't look closely at Laika at all, so he didn't know that Laika was an energy person.

After killing Holmes, Chu Tianjiang was silent.

After returning to this world, there were several people that Chu Tianjiang wanted to kill the most, and Holmes ranked second.

Prior to this, Chu Tianjiang had always believed that it would take a lot of effort to kill Holmes. When Holmes did die at his hands, he felt a little lost.

All of this came so easily.

Iskar and the others looked at Chu Tianjiang, Iska knew Chu Tianjiang's mood best, and knew that killing Holmes was equivalent to fulfilling a wish. What's more, Iskar knew that Holmes was not only Chu Tianjiang's sworn enemy, he also had the genes of Chu Tianjiang's best friend. Even if Chu Tianjiang never regarded Holmes as Luo Jinyong, Chu Tianjiang knew that Holmes and Luo Jinyong had some kind of relationship.

By understanding Chu Tianjiang's memories, Soya and Laika also knew this, but they couldn't understand Chu Tianjiang's mood.

Actually, Chu Tianjiang didn't feel sad.

If it is said that encountering a figure made Chu Tianjiang feel that Zhang Xiaogang was still alive, then meeting Holmes did not give Chu Tianjiang the same feeling. In his understanding, Luo Jinyong had already died, and he had perished with the underground human civilization, and he had done a lot of important things before he died. In addition to creating that subspace and colorful battle armor for Chu Tianjiang, he also laid a scientific foundation for the shadow empire behind.

Chu Tianjiang was thinking about something else.

The easy way to kill Holmes was actually a very important revelation.

That is, Holmes's position in the church has become insignificant, at least for Feister, Holmes has become a dispensable senator. Even without Homs, Feist could still get there. So, what about the senators concocted by Holmes?

The answer is obvious, perhaps except for Uma, the other patriarchs have become decorations.

Herein lies the problem.

In Chu Tianjiang's understanding, the church has always maintained twelve patriarchs, and Holmes concocted Laika to replace the finished Lombardo.

That is, the twelve patriarchs are a fixed formula, and they are very important.

Since Fest no longer valued Holmes and the other patriarchs, he must have been prepared, that is, Uma was not alone, and there were at least ten others like her. Otherwise, Fest would have had no reason to give up Holmes, and would not have let Holmes die so miserably.

It is important to know that if one of the patriarchs remained in the temple, Homs would not have died.

After discovering the anomaly, the patriarch was at least able to alert Holmes to his body and escape the temple. Don't forget, if Chu Tianjiang hadn't cut off the information channel between the two modulation devices, Homs's consciousness would not have been imprisoned in the energy body.

What's more, at any time in the past, Holmes would have had at least one patriarch by his side.

Obviously, this is definitely not a coincidence.

Besides, the fortress hadn't been built yet, and Uma didn't need to go to the concoction site immediately, and there was no reason to go to the concoction field alone with energy.

Could it be that this is carefully arranged?

Perhaps, it has nothing to do with Fest, but certainly with Uma. In other words, that woman had long known that they had infiltrated the temple and were looking for an opportunity to deal with Holmes, but not only did she not warn Holmes, but even took advantage of Lombardo's death to leave the temple, and deliberately let Holmes stay to deal with the aftermath, so that Holmes was left alone. What's more, it was these things she did that forced Holmes to desperately concoct a senator to replace Lombardo, and to make this veteran have super superpowers, so he did it himself.

If that's the case, that Uma is a character who is even more powerful than Holmes.

Of course, this is definitely not her personal behavior. She was concocted by Fest, so what she did must have been approved by Fest.

That is, these are all Fest's arrangements.

So, what did Fester deliberately sacrifice Holmes for?

Just borrowing Chu Tianjiang's hand to get rid of Holmes?

Obviously, this simply doesn't make sense.

It wasn't that difficult for Feister to get rid of Holmes, and it was possible to keep it from anyone else.

What's more, Feist can keep the secret by getting rid of Holmes himself.

Don't forget, before he died, Holmes told a lot of secrets, and all of them were secrets related to Fester.

From another point of view, Feist obviously hoped that Holmes would tell these secrets, or use Holmes's mouth to let Chu Tianjiang know these secrets and believe them.

Could it be that Holmes is telling a lie?

Chu Tianjiang was very surprised and worried.

These speculations have already illustrated a problem, that is, everything Chu Tianjiang did was under Feister's control, and he was moving forward according to Feister's arrangement. What's more, these things that Chu Tianjiang did not only did not pose a threat to Feister, but instead helped Feister.

So, what is the purpose of Feist?

According to the previous plan, after killing Holmes, Chu Tianjiang had to go to the concoction field.

The question is, is it appropriate to go to the modulation field now?
