Chapter 173: His Majesty the Pope
Wang Jie's face changed slightly, and he immediately took this light in his hand as soon as he exercised his hand.
Ying Chengfeng's heart moved, and said, "This is ......"
A complicated look flashed in his eyes, Wang Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this is a message from His Majesty the Pope. ”
Ying Chengfeng's brows furrowed, His Majesty the Pope's control over the Light Holy Sect was so strong, and he was aware of the fact that something had just happened here in such a short period of time.
As if to see through Ying Chengfeng's thoughts, Wang Jie sighed lightly and said: "Master, every ghostly space is registered, and the changes in the space may not be noticed quickly, but if there is suddenly one less space, then His Majesty the Pope will not know the reason." ”
Ying Chengfeng pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "What did His Majesty the Pope say?" ”
"Your Majesty wants me to go over and explain immediately. ”
Ying Chengfeng took a deep breath and said, "Brother Wang, I'll go with you." ”
A hint of gratitude flashed in Wang Jie's eyes, but he shook his head and said, "It's not right, Your Majesty just wants me to go alone, and the master doesn't have to come forward." ”
Ying Chengfeng snorted lightly and said, "This matter started because of me, how can I let you bear it alone." ”
Wang Jie laughed and said, "Master don't worry, don't forget that I have been promoted to the king level, even if I am guilty, Your Majesty will be extra gracious." He paused and said, "At most, I was sent to the battlefield by His Majesty, where I would make up for my mistakes today." So, Master, rest assured. ”
Ying Chengfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "It is said that the loss rate of the battlefield is extremely high, and few people can survive it. ”
Wang Jie smiled and said, "Master, in any battlefield, death is cannon fodder. However, although our Light Saint Sect is powerful, it has not yet reached the point of using king-level powerhouses as cannon fodder. ”
Ying Chengfeng nodded slowly, and this sentence is indeed true.
What a powerful existence a king-level powerhouse is, even among the tens of billions of people in the entire Bright Holy Sect, there are only a few hundred.
If someone frantically uses a king-level powerhouse as bait and cannon fodder, I am afraid that it will immediately cause an uproar.
However, let Wang Jie bear the wrath of His Majesty the Pope alone, this kind of thing can't be done.
He opened his mouth, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Wang, since His Majesty the Pope has summoned, then let's go see his old man." ”
Wang Jie's brows furrowed and said, "Master, Your Majesty is letting me go and explain alone." ”
"It's okay, I'll stay with you. Ying Chengfeng's face was full of smiles, but the look in his eyes was extremely firm.
Wang Jie looked at it in a daze, and finally reluctantly agreed. Because he felt the uncompromising momentum from Ying Chengfeng's body.
Gently opened the ghostly light channel, and the two of them left the place one after the other.
Unleashing the canoe, they sped towards the very center of the entire Cult of Light.
Within the Holy Sect, except for the king-level powerhouses and the knights directly belonging to His Majesty the Pope, the rest of the people are not allowed to fly.
However, now that Wang Jie has not only been promoted to the king level, but he is also in charge of guarding the Ghost Light Passage, he naturally has the privilege of flying.
Soon, the sky flickered, and it was already in front of the tallest and majestic palace in the central area.
This is the residence of His Majesty the Pope. Although there is no luxury and sluggishness here, there is a sense of nobility and simplicity everywhere, and anyone who comes here will feel small and self-conscious.
"Whoever is forbidden to fly here, come down quickly. ”
Suddenly, a loud roar rang out, which pierced the clouds directly and clearly reached the ears of the two people, as if it was roaring in their ears.
Wang Jie didn't dare to slack off, his true qi was running, and the canoe immediately landed.
In front of this palace, dozens of knights guarded it.
Each of them has the strength of the pinnacle of the Purple Gold Realm, and it seems that with a little effort, they can break through the limit and advance to the title.
Although in the guards of other palaces, knights of this level can also be seen.
However, being able to send one or two of these knights to guard the gate is already quite a luxury. But here, dozens of knights turned out to be in this realm.
Such a large amount of money can only be done by His Majesty the Pope.
The leader is tall and burly and draped in a light suit, and the whole person is bathed in light, like a huge light bulb, releasing endless light power.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Jie flew the light out, and said: "Wang Jie of the Ghost Light Channel, come here, please let me go." ”
The tall knight held the light in his hand, sensed it slightly, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be His Majesty's emergency warrant, you come with me." ”
In fact, when the two sides just met, they had already sensed the strength of each other's breath.
This tall knight actually has the strength of the peak Grand Duke level.
If it is based on the breath alone, this person's cultivation is afraid that it is not under Wang Jie before the breakthrough.
Similarly, although this person also sensed the kingly aura on Wang Jie's body. However, this breath was not enough to make him feel afraid, so when he greeted him, he was neither humble nor arrogant.
However, after seeing His Majesty's decree, he immediately moved several times faster, eliminating the cumbersome inspection procedures and directly leading him into the palace.
A moment later, they had arrived in a large hall.
An old man, barely recognizable, walked in and took the edict from the hands of the knight of the Grand Duke in armor.
He checked it and said slowly: "Your Excellency Wang Jie, have you read His Majesty's edict clearly?"
"Of course I saw it clearly. Wang Jie said in a deep voice: "This is His Majesty's edict, do you think I will ignore it." ”
The old man coughed lightly a few times and said, "But in His Majesty's edict, I only let you come alone." He looked at Ying Chengfeng, and a strange brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes that seemed to be old eyes, and said, "Who is this person?" ”
Wang Jie said in a deep voice: "This is the Yingchengfeng Master of the Forging Temple, and it is also the powerhouse I decided to follow. ”
The old man's eyes finally showed a little surprise, he looked at Ying Chengfeng for a while, and said, "It turns out that Master Ying is disrespectful." ”
Ying Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite. ”
Although this old guy is not young, the aura on his body is not strong, and at most he is just a knighthood powerhouse.
However, he is responsible for handling some matters around His Majesty the Pope, but he has great power, so Ying Chengfeng is not willing to make enemies with such a person.
The old man laughed, turned his head, looked at Wang Jie, and said suddenly: "Your Excellency Wang Jie, if you are not mistaken, if you have a strong person who wants to follow, then you must step down from the duties of the Ghost Light Channel." ”
Wang Jie nodded slowly and said, "I know, this time, in addition to confessing my guilt, there is another thing, which is to hand over the guardian duties of the Ghost Light Channel. ”
The old man nodded and said seriously: "Since you have decided, then it is good." ”
There was a bit of regret and emotion in his words.
Then, he saluted Yingchengfeng and said, "Master Win, I'm really sorry, Your Excellency Wang Jie came here by edict, and His Majesty did not summon you, so please wait here." He paused and said, "I will tell Your Majesty, and it is not for me to decide whether Your Majesty is willing to see you or not." ”
Ying Chengfeng returned the salute and said sincerely: "Your Excellency, the change in the ghost light channel this time is actually caused by the Xia. He glanced at Wang Jie and said solemnly: "No matter what, I will not shirk my responsibility and let Brother Wang Jie bear His Majesty's anger alone." ”
The old man stumbled his mouth a few times, and finally sighed softly, and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty can summon you at the same time." ”
With that, he turned around and walked away slowly.
In the entire spacious hall, there are only two people left, Ying Chengfeng and Wang Jie.
After glancing at each other, Wang Jie's expression was slightly nervous.
After all, he is a Grand Duke-level powerhouse of the Bright Holy Sect, although he has already identified Ying Chengfeng and become his follower. But over the years, His Majesty has taken on a status that borders on mythology in the minds of these people.
Therefore, when the audience was about to be met at this time, it was naturally a little nervous.
After a while, the old man came back from the palace, and he said slowly, "Your Majesty is willing to summon both of you at the same time, please come with me." ”
"Yes. ”
The two men answered, and followed the old man into a hall deeper in the palace.
In the center of this hall, there is also an old man.
At this time, the old man sat upright in his chair, his eyes closed, as if resting.
There was nothing precious on his body that would prove his identity, and there was even a faint stain on his gray fitted robe.
However, when Ying Chengfeng and Wang Jie's eyes fell on the old man, they invariably lowered their heads and saluted him respectfully.
What they are worshipping is not an ordinary person, but His Majesty the Pope, the representative of the gods in this world.
Slowly opening his eyes, His Majesty's wise gaze, which seemed to be able to see through everything, swept around the two people.
Then, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he slowly sat up straight.
"Wang Jie, you have finally advanced. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Jie said excitedly: "The disciple has been wandering in the ghost light channel for decades, but fortunately, he recently met Master Win, and with his guidance and help, Wang Jie was lucky enough to advance successfully. ”
Ying Chengfeng nodded secretly in his heart, Wang Jie's words were not exaggerated.
It was indeed a large part of his luck that he was able to be promoted, and if it weren't for the excitement of seeing the long sword alone and bear the heavenly taboo, he might not have been able to succeed.
A faint smile crossed the corner of His Majesty's mouth, and he said, "If you can succeed, you can do it." After that, he turned his head, and when his gaze fell on Ying Chengfeng, it was inexplicably a little more dignified.
"Master Win, can you show up with your equipment and let this seat take a look. ”
