Chapter 716: Decision
"Archdeacon, I think there may be a conspiracy in this matter."
When they heard that the archdeacon was going to take action in person, some deacons hurried to persuade them, not because they had deep feelings for the archdeacon, but because they knew very well that their interests were one with the archdeacon, and at the moment in the temple, the archdeacon was almost equivalent to the needle of the sea god.
"Yes, how can a new celestial be allowed to let the archdeacon take action himself?" Another said.
The reason why they are reluctant to come forward in person is because they are worried, and on the other hand, they don't know that Shadow has failed, after all, Shadow, as the trump card in the hands of the archdeacon, is far from being accessible to them, but they are not fools, and they can more or less think that since the archdeacon wants to take action in person, he must have encountered something tricky.
And the more this is the case, the less reckless it is.
The archdeacon didn't say anything, but sat high on the throne and listened to the people below.
"Situ Wenjing sent him a prayer post before." Qi Jun said suddenly.
Hearing his words, everyone around was shocked, and even the archdeacon also looked at Qi Jun.
As soon as the four words Situ Wenjing came out, there was suddenly more pressure in the hall, and then in Yongzhou City, I don't know what the name of the archdeacon is, but I must remember the four words Situ Wenjing, because the other party represents Yongzhou City.
As for the temple, although it is high up and has greater power than Situ Wenjing, the meaning of the two is completely different, one is responsible for the specific affairs of Yongzhou City, and the other stands in a higher position, and the layout is very large, so for ordinary people, Situ Wenjing is obviously more awe-inspiring.
Of course, this does not mean that the majesty of the temple will be damaged, after all, the temple has long been described as the patron saint of the human race.
As the deacon of the temple, they know better, Situ Wenjing was originally from the temple, and even one of the holy sons of the previous generation, but the competition failed, but they didn't expect that he actually became the city lord of Yongzhou City, and this position was actually not lower than the archdeacon.
Moreover, Situ Wenjing is a celestial-level powerhouse, as for how many heavens he has reached now, few people know.
"Situ Wenjing, no wonder." The archdeacon said softly, he had been a little worried about the defeat of the shadow before, but he was still puzzled, how could he not understand how to use the strength of the shadow to deal with a strong man who had just stepped into the heavens, how could he still fail? If it was Situ Wenjing's shot, then it would be natural for the shadow to fail.
The original intention of making a personal move suddenly faded a lot, after all, Mu Yi and Situ Wenjing are two opponents of different levels, facing Mu Yi, maybe they can be killed directly, but Situ Wenjing is a temple, and it is not easy to take it down, unless one of the eight elders nods.
But behind Situ Wenjing, there is also an Eight Great Elder, which is also the reason why he was able to withdraw from the temple and turn around to become the city lord of Yongzhou City.
The temple belongs to the eight elders, but not all of the eight elders belong to the temple.
"Archdeacon, what should I do about this?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
The archdeacon was silent for a moment before he spoke: "This matter is not just a provocation to the majesty of the temple, once the other party is co-opted by Situ Wenjing, then the power of the City Lord's Mansion is bound to increase greatly. ”
"What the archdeacon said is very true."
"Yes, the City Lord's Mansion has a long-standing grudge with me, and there may not be no City Lord's Mansion behind this matter."
As Zheng Jun said the name Situ Wenjing, the center of everyone's discussion has unconsciously shifted from Mu Yi, although Mu Yi is also a celestial, but in the eyes of everyone, it is far from being comparable to Situ Wenjing, at most it can create some trouble.
As long as Situ Wenjing doesn't make a move, then the archdeacon will make a move, and if he wants to kill Mu Yi, it will be an easy thing at all.
"I don't think so, if Situ Wenjing makes a move, how can he visit him? Did you do it on purpose to show us? I think with Situ Wenjing's mind, he would not have done such an unwise thing. There were also deacons who raised their own questions.
Suddenly, the deacons in the main hall were divided into two groups, each holding on to their own words, arguing endlessly, don't look at these deacons are all pseudo-heavenly level powerhouses, but sometimes, they are no different from ordinary people.
But the archdeacon did not speak again, in fact, most of the time, he would support whichever side he felt worthy of support, but this time, he could not make up his mind.
"Archdeacon, in half a year, it's this Holy Son showdown, right?" A deacon said, the people around him suddenly quieted down, every duel between the Holy Son is a big event for the temple, after all, the word Holy Son itself represents heaven and man.
Except for the archdeacon, the rest of the deacons are far inferior to the Holy Son regardless of their status or strength.
"Yes." The archdeacon nodded slightly.
"Mu Yi's matter is beyond the scope of what we can deal with, I think it's better to hand it over to the Holy Son, it just so happens that after the Holy Son duel, he also needs an object of prestige, I think this Mu Yi is the most suitable, the bigger the noise he makes now, the greater the shock of being killed at that time, and at the same time, it can also push the power of my temple to the peak in one fell swoop."
"Sacrificing a celestial to achieve this goal is a bit too expensive, isn't it? After all, no matter what, the other party is my Terran celestial after all. There are also deacons who have different opinions, not all of these deacons are fighting for power and profit, and many of them are sincerely for the development of the human race.
Although the previous lesson was unanimously agreed, it was only to maintain the majesty of the temple, and at the same time it was just to teach the other party, and now it was to be killed.
"My temple has begun to weaken, maybe there won't be any problems in the short term, but the demon and demon clans have obviously shown signs of invasion again, at this time, my temple must be foolproof and order the entire human race, only in this way, will not make the same mistakes as before." Qi Jun said menacingly, those who know understand that he has a grudge against Mu Yi, and those who don't know really think that he is selfless and dedicated to the temple and the human race.
"Okay, how to decide this matter, when the time comes, it will be handed over to the Holy Son, our duty is only to maintain the operation of the temple, as for the invasion of the demon and demon clans, there are eight elders, and even two demi-saints." The final word of the archdeacon is equivalent to deciding the fate of Mu Yi, at least in their eyes.
Originally, the archdeacon planned to deal with Mu Yi personally, but because of Situ Wenjing, he let him throw a mouse bogey, but now he has to let Mu Yi live for half a year longer, as long as the Holy Son comes forward at that time, I believe that Situ Wenjing is not easy to interfere.
After all, the Holy Son who won the decisive victory has the position of deputy hall master, and although there is only one Holy Son in each generation, but after so many generations of Holy Son, the number of deputy hall masters is already quite a lot, and in the face of this general trend, even Situ Wenjing is difficult to resist, which is also the origin of the archdeacon's confidence.
Mu Yi did not wait for the revenge of the temple, as for the shadow, he became his prisoner, although he was not banned, but the other party did not dare to leave.
At this moment, Mu Yi was sitting on a chair, still holding a book in his hand, but most of his eyes fell on the two people who were fighting in the courtyard, Jian Jiu and Shadow.
Jian Jiu is just the ultimate pseudo-heaven and man, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to be the opponent of the Shadow, but at the moment, the two of them look like they are on equal footing, and even to some extent, Jian Jiu has a trace of the upper hand.
The reason why this is so is because the strength of the shadow is limited to the extreme of the pseudo-celestial, if it weren't for the fact that his shadow true intent has been transformed, in the case of the same cultivation realm, it is impossible to be Jian Jiu's opponent at all, after all, the way of the sword is already fierce, and it is normal for the main killer to fight, and it is also the norm to fight beyond the level in peacetime.
However, the gap between the pseudo-celestial and the celestial is too big, even if it is sword cultivation, it will not be able to cross this heavenly chasm.
This battle is quite hearty for Jian Jiu, and even the kendo cultivation that has fallen into a bottleneck has faint signs of improvement, and all of this, in the final analysis, is because of Mu Yi, who followed Mu Yi for a month, which made his mood change, and it is precisely because of these accumulations that he can feel his own progress when fighting with the shadow.
Otherwise everything is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.
In fact, when he learned that Shadow was a celestial powerhouse, Jian Jiu was shocked, after all, Jian Jiu was different from the previous Situ Wenjing, Situ Wenjing just came to visit Mu Yi, and then left, and the two did not fight.
But the shadow was defeated because of the assassination of Mu Yi and became a prisoner, after all, compared to the difference in identity, the strength of this strength is more impactful and representative.
At the same time, Jian Jiu was also secretly glad that he had made the choice, as for how strong Mu Yi's strength was, he didn't know, he could only vaguely spy a few points from the attitude of the shadow, so it was scary enough.
"Your kendo lacks something that truly belongs to you."
When Jian Jiu finished sparring with the shadow and was about to express his gratitude to Mu Yi, he heard Mu Yi say.
Hearing Mu Yi's words, Jian Jiu was obviously stunned for a moment, there was nothing that really belonged to him?
If it was someone else, Jian Jiu would only scoff, but it was Mu Yi who said this, even if the other party did not practice swordsmanship, but one law and ten thousand laws, standing at the height of Mu Yi, he could easily see the shortcomings in his swordsmanship.
And through this period of contact, Mu Yi slowly understood that Jian Jiu was a person and could be used.
It is precisely because of the evaluation of these four words that Mu Yi pointed out, although the current strength of Jian Jiu is too weak, even insignificant, but once it breaks through to the celestials, the strength will definitely skyrocket, even if it is just a new celestial, it is not weaker than some old celestials, this is the strength of the sword, and the profound benefits accumulated before.
