After a moment of silence, the bishop finally stood up, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Lord Archbishop, the strength shown by the Wu Zhou Dynasty has obviously surpassed that of the ordinary intermediate dynasty, if it is forcibly settled, I am afraid that the consequences will be unbearable. ”

The others nodded in agreement and looked at Zhong An one by one.

"What do you mean by unbearable?" Zhong An's face instantly became a little gloomy, and he said dissatisfiedly: "It's not the local branch that has settled in this seat, but the southern branch that has settled in the Wuzhou Dynasty, what else is he dissatisfied with? This seat treats him like a high-level dynasty, why should he refuse such a good thing?"

"What?"

Hearing Zhong An's words, the bishop's expression changed when he had just spoken, and he immediately looked at Zhong An in shock, the Southern Branch settled in a middle-level dynasty, which had no precedent in the history of the Holy Religion.

"Your Excellency, this is not a trivial matter. If it is settled in the name of the Southern Branch, then it is necessary to send five cardinals of the Yuandan realm, as well as a hundred priests of the Great Grandmaster realm, five thousand holy knights, and a total of zero, the Wuzhou Dynasty only needs to pay 100 million yuan a year to get the treatment of entering the high-level dynasty, and the headquarters will not agree. ”

"Yes, there has never been a precedent for this matter, if we set this precedent, then how can we explain to those high-ranking dynasties? Their annual offerings are as high as two billion stones, which is just such a treatment, and the Wu Zhou Dynasty only needs to spend one-twentieth of them to get the same treatment, which is impossible. ”

"Your Excellency, you must not set this precedent, otherwise, the Southern Tang Dynasty will definitely refuse to pay tribute to the Southern Branch, the Southern Tang Dynasty is a high-ranking dynasty that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the Southern Branch cannot afford to offend them. ”

"That is, the Southern Tang Dynasty's tribute to our Southern Branch is all for the sake of the face of the Holy Sect Headquarters, and it is inevitable that such a move by the Archbishop will affect the attitude of the Southern Tang Dynasty towards our Southern Branch. ”

In the conference room, the major deacons and bishops refuted one by one, feeling that this kind of decision made by Zhong An was not feasible.

Judging from the influence of the Holy Sect in the Continent of Living Beings now, the middle-level dynasty is not worthy of their recruitment, and besides, the value of the Southern Tang Dynasty is far greater than that of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and they are not willing to give up the Southern Tang Dynasty, a high-level dynasty with strong capital.

No matter how you say that the Holy Sect Headquarters will punish them, it will only be Zhong An who is unlucky, but if the Southern Tang Dynasty is dissatisfied because of this matter, then there will be many unlucky people, at least in this conference room, one is counted as one, and all of them have to be hated by the headquarters.

Zhong An, although everyone is a supporter of his faction, it does not mean that they are willing to put all their future on Zhong An alone.

Maybe loyalty can make them climb fast in the Holy Sect, but compared to their own lives, they are more willing to take the latter principle and let Zhong An alone be unlucky.

"So, do you want to settle in the Wuzhou Dynasty in the name of the Southern Branch?" Zhong An's face was very ugly, and he asked in an extremely cold tone.

He looked at these 'henchmen' and felt very uncomfortable, since he had become an archbishop in the Southern Branch, he had never felt comfortable, and the local branch had disobeyed his orders. The minds of his subordinates gradually became intoxicated with power, and they no longer supported him as fully as before.

"Yes, if the Archbishop insists on this, we will have no choice but to take care of the headquarters, and none of this has anything to do with us. It was all the archbishop's doing, and even if he was held accountable in the future, he would not implicate us and others. ”

One of the bishops said solemnly, very firmly.

However, Zhong An did not get angry on the spot, nor did he directly dismiss them from their duties, but just said lightly: "Hand over the information of the Wu Zhou Dynasty." ”

"Yes, Lord Bishop!"

The faithful servant distributed a stack of intelligence documents to everyone in the room.

With a little hesitation, everyone glanced at each other, and then opened it in confusion and read it carefully. After reading all the intelligence documents, the whole conference room suddenly became a sensation.

"This information must be fake!"

"Impossible, in a place that has just been promoted to an intermediate dynasty, how can there be a Buddhist sect behind it. ”

"It is completely impossible for so many strong people to appear one after another, the Wu Zhou Dynasty does not have this background to cultivate so many strong people. ”

"Zhou Chuan's cultivation is also very strange, in less than a year, he has become a powerhouse in the realm of grandmasters from a warrior, there must be something strange in this, and there must be a big force behind it. ”

"Yes, it must be the Buddhism Gate behind the scenes, the big rooster of the Bodhisattva's descendants is enough to prove this, and after the Fenglin Dynasty was broken, there was a Bodhisattva who appeared, all these signs show that the Buddha Gate is standing behind the Wuzhou Dynasty. ”

In the conference room, the deacons and bishops were discussing, and all of them were shocked by the news in the intelligence. In this information, the history of the Wu Zhou Dynasty is all included, and even the population is recorded.

Everything was very ordinary, until after the invasion of the Demon Shadow Force, Zhou Chuan ascended the throne strongly, and the Wu Zhou Dynasty rose in a very short period of time like the chosen son, not only purging the court and the people, but also defeating the Fenglin Dynasty and becoming an intermediate dynasty.

In this way, their hearts began to gradually waver, if the Wu Zhou Dynasty really had the support of Buddhism behind it, it seemed that the Southern Branch would not be out of the ordinary to settle in the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Buddhism is behind the scenes, and it is only a matter of time before the Wu Zhou Dynasty is promoted to a high-level dynasty, and they have no doubt that the water of Buddhism is too deep, and even their holy religion may not be as mysterious as Buddhism.

Zhong An saw the change in everyone's mood, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said indifferently: "This is the reason why this seat is stationed in the Wuzhou Dynasty in the name of the Southern Branch, and there is another reason, the Southern Branch has suffered too much criticism during this time, and this seat hopes to take this opportunity to divert the attention of the people, and it is also to stop the mouths of the bishops of the local branch." ”

"A middle-level dynasty with a force like Buddhism behind it, the Southern Tang Dynasty will not have any objections to this. In the continent of sentient beings, even in the high-level dynasties, Buddhism is a force that is very respected by them, to be precise, it is afraid of the power of Buddhism. ”

"And this Zhou Chuan must be the person who came out of Buddhism, with many masters around him to protect him, and the heirs of the Bodhisattva by his side, which is enough to prove the truth of the information. ”

Zhong An looked at everyone in the conference room with his head held high, and said with a smile: "So, do you have any objections to this seat entering the Wuzhou Dynasty in the name of the Southern Branch?"
