To the west of the city there is a series of buildings, and in the center of them is a temple that occupies a large area.

In the center of the temple there is a gilded bronze statue ten zhang high, this person is wearing a robe, the aura is extraordinary, but the face is blurred, and the facial features cannot be seen. But instead of detracting from the majesty of the idol, it made it more mysterious and majestic.

Although the clouds are thick now, there is still a light shining down and falling on the idol, and a halo rises around the idol, as if a god has descended into the world.

Some devout believers knelt down under the idols and prayed incessantly, with sincere eyes and humble tones, saying, "May the light of the sun shine on me." ”

This is the believer of the New Yang Religion.

This is naturally the holy place of the New Yang Religion, the Sun Temple.

The Xinyang Sect is different from the two forces of the City Lord's Mansion and the Sand Gang, its scope of influence is actually larger, and many cities in the western part of the Fengyin Continent have followers of the Xinyang Sect, and naturally there are temples of the Xinyang Sect.

However, the first leader of the Xinyang Sect was the religion founded in Decheng, so Decheng is naturally the holy land of the Xinyang Religion, and it is also the place where the heritage of the Xinyang Religion is hidden.

There are many powerful deacons and bishops, and even more powerful archbishops, as well as godlike leaders in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of believers.

The head of the church and the archbishop rarely appear in ordinary times, and only appear on a few important days stipulated in the doctrine, and the bishops and deacons are naturally in charge of the affairs of the church.

Occasionally, the archbishop will intervene, naturally because of some emergency.

At this time, in a side hall at the back of the temple, an old archbishop with a pale face was sitting in front of the pool in the courtyard with his eyes closed. The next moment he opened his eyes and looked at the pool in front of him.

There are twelve palm-sized lotus flowers in the pool, it stands to reason that it is already early autumn, and these lotus flowers should wither and wither, but most of these twelve lotus flowers are still delicate and beautiful, and they are planted cleanly.

With one exception, the lotus flower withered rapidly in a short period of time, as if all its life force had been exhausted.

Seeing this, a chill flashed in the vicissitudes of life.

The withering of this lotus flower meant that a new Yang bishop under his jurisdiction had died.

It has been a long time since a bishop has died in the Xinyang Church, and even the deacons rarely have accidents.

In the early years, when the Xinyang Sect was founded, it was natural that there were many twists and turns in this chaotic city, with frequent friction and disputes with other gangs, and bloodshed often occurred.

Later, after twists and turns, the Xinyang Sect finally gained a firm foothold in this German city.

After that, almost no one wanted to fight them.

Because they are religious.

Perhaps people of faith will think that people without faith are fools.

But everyone knows that people with religious beliefs generally turn into paranoid "madmen", those who are devout believers, who are willing to give anything to defend their faith.

No one wants to go against a madman.

The Xinyang Sect also rarely provoked other gangs, and their attention was focused on the common people and some idle people who had just entered the city, so the Xinyang Sect really hadn't died for a long time.

The archbishop took a deep breath and muttered: "Two hundred catties of Xuanjing Iron were born, and the major forces poked out their minions, and Decheng was in chaos at this time, and the masters were like clouds. But who killed me, Bishop Xinyang? ”

The archbishop closed his eyes again.

A moment later, the three figures walked into the courtyard and knelt respectfully on the ground. The one in the middle is a woman, her bangs cover the left half of her face, and the right half of her face can also be seen in a bit of posture, which can be called a beauty.

And this woman, who didn't look very old, was actually a chief deacon. With a solemn face, she said, "The dead bishop is Bishop Zhuji. ”

The archbishop did not open his eyes, and said, "Find out." ”

"Yes." The three bishops got up and were about to leave.

"Shen Fang." The archbishop called a name.

The other two chief deacons, seeing that the archbishop had no intention of continuing to speak, hurried out of the courtyard.

And the woman stayed, she knelt on the ground again, and responded, "Shen Fang is here." ”

The archbishop asked, "What is the situation in the city now?" ”

Shen Fang replied quickly and clearly: "The Sha Gang held an elder meeting an hour ago, and it is rumored that several elders had a fierce verbal battle, and Sha Jingtian still didn't seem to make a clear statement. ”

"There are five guests in the Tianzi room of the Jin family's restaurant, and the person in charge should be the fourth master of the Jin family. The Park's pawnshop has been closed since this morning, but in the morning, seven people walked into the pawnshop through the back door, and their identities could not be confirmed. Song Tiancheng killed his city lord's mansion steward, and the steward should be someone from the Qi family. Qijia's firm... But there was no movement. ”

"It is rumored that it seems, should, cannot be confirmed." The archbishop repeated the words with a blank face.

Shen Fang's head suddenly lowered, and his voice trembled slightly: "The subordinates are incompetent. ”

"As for the Qi family firm, how can there be no movement." The archbishop shook his head lightly and said, "The people of the Qi family must have also arrived, and this calm indicates something worse. ”

Shen Fang nodded respectfully, and then added: "And today, there are several young people whose identities are unknown, but whose strength is good, have entered Decheng and are from... Unknown. ”

"How many?"

Shen Fang's head was eager to be inserted into the soil in front of him, but he could only reply, "I haven't found out either." ”

"Ugh." The archbishop sighed lightly, and then said, "I can't blame you, after all, Decheng is destined to be full of storms today, and it is not something that our Xinyang Sect can control." ”

"Then we... What should I do? Shen Fang tried to ask.

"The stakes are very high, so I'll go and ask the master." The archbishop stood up, and then said: "First of all, show the outside world that our Xinyang Sect is doing our best to find out who killed our Bishop Zhu Ji, and we don't care about other things. Also, don't just pay attention to the movements of the three major families, the city lord's mansion and the sand gang, there are still many dormant beasts and maggots in this chaotic city, they don't dare to compete with the three major families for Xuanjing Iron, but they will take the opportunity to do something, those things, may blaspheme our gods. ”

"My subordinates understand." Shen Fang responded.

"Go ahead." The archbishop waved his hand.

Shen Fang lowered his head and left backwards.

The archbishop turned and walked towards the apse where the head of the sect was.

He walked to the door, but instead of knocking, he knelt down respectfully. The archbishop, who had just been in front of the deacon, was now respectful as the most ordinary believer.

He didn't make a sound, and after a few moments, no sound came from inside.

The archbishop said with a solemn expression: "Please give a holy message." ”

But there was still no reply.

After a moment's wait, just as the archbishop was repeating it again, a voice finally came from the temple, a solemn and calm voice, as if with a kind of magic that made people worship.

"Those who call themselves servants of God are coming."

Hearing this, the archbishop's vicissitudes of life were sharp, and his expression was surprised.

He did not ask the sect leader where he knew about it and whether the information was accurate, because what the sect leader said must be the truth and the truth.

Without waiting for the archbishop to ask, the voice rang out again: "There are several rootless people who have descended here. ”

The archbishop's expression changed slightly, he could understand what a rootless person was, so he was even more surprised.

No wonder the deacons of the Xinyang Sect couldn't find out the identities of those people, it turned out that they were not people from this world at all.

"There are some hidden villains and secrets in the city, and they are about to surface."

The sect leader slowly said these three news, and the archbishop suddenly understood that today's matter was only more serious than he imagined, and immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "Please ask the sect master to make it clear." ”

"In this chaos, we in the Xinyang Sect need to protect ourselves wisely, and we must not get involved in this pool of troubled waters."

"But... Our bishop was killed. The archbishop spoke: "This is blasphemous..."

"Kill my bishop, this revenge is naturally to be avenged, but not today." The sect leader's voice was still calm and majestic, and he said, "This is someone who wants to force our Xinyang Sect into the game. ”

"Force us in!?" The archbishop repeated this in his heart, and immediately thought about it with great fear, and then a cold sweat couldn't help but rise on his forehead, originally he thought that he had paid enough attention to this matter, but he didn't expect that the hidden danger was even more serious than he imagined. He said solemnly: "This game is for our Xinyang Sect?" ”

"No, the key to today's matter is still the two hundred catties of Xuanjing Iron, but this thing is too precious, attracting many forces to intervene. And in the midst of chaos, people with ulterior motives want to take this opportunity to stir up the storm. Don't say it's my Xinyang Sect or the Sand Gang, even if it's the three major families, if you're not careful, you will inevitably hurt your muscles and bones. ”

It doesn't seem to be a very serious result.

But for the families who have stood on the mainland for hundreds of years, they haven't broken their muscles and bones for too many years.

What would a dispute that could make the three major families stumble?

It must have been a very scary picture.

These two hundred catties of Xuanjing Iron were like a whirlpool, and another one or several powerful forces stirred this whirlpool even more violently.

And the Xinyang Sect, which has a history of only a few decades, can only choose to protect itself in this whirlpool.

"Send someone to find out who killed my bishop, but don't rush to action. Then teach the other bishops to be careful not to cause trouble. ”

The archbishop bowed respectfully: "Obey the Lord's oracle." ”

The archbishop waited for a moment, and after confirming that no more sound came from the Master, he saluted again and turned to leave.

The archbishop walked among the temples and listened to the bell ringing from the bell tower announcing noon, with a solemn expression.

Servant of God.

People without roots.

forced the Xinyang Sect to enter the game.

The archbishop kept repeating these words in his heart.

This city of virtue is in chaos, and people often die violently, even the masters of the Heavenly Transformation Realm will die on the streets. The woman who sells tea may have been an elder of a certain sect, and the butcher who sells meat may have been the prince of a certain country.

There were also provocations and strife in the past, but for the first time the archbishop felt a real crisis.

The archbishop had just returned to his courtyard and was about to summon some of the deacons to speak, but before he could give the order, one of the deacons came running and fell to his knees in a panic.

The deacon spoke, "Chief Deacon Shen Fang, dead!" ”
