Chapter 434: Anger
It is precisely because of this that Bai Li will say that over, and the other hall masters will also choose to protest silently.
And such a scene falling into the eyes of the Pope is tantamount to disobedience, at this moment they dare to do this, then at the critical moment of the life and death of the Divine Cult Empire, how many of these people in front of them can sacrifice their lives for the empire?
The Lord of the Thirteen Halls may not think about it so much, but the Pope, who is the supreme power center of the Divine Empire, has to think about it, because no matter when and where, he needs a group of subordinates who can absolutely obey his orders, not a group of scattered soldiers with their own thoughts.
Thinking about it a lot like this, the Pope also felt that this muddy water should also be stirred, otherwise his authority would be greatly affected by this, and I am afraid that there will be an embarrassing situation where no one can be available at the critical moment of life and death, so after thinking for a long time, he spoke up again.
"If you don't speak, it means that you still have this careful mind in your hearts, so let's do it, from now on, the right of pardon in the Thirteen Halls will be withdrawn, and if you commit a crime, it will be carried out according to the laws of the empire, Bai Li, do you understand?"
The Pope's words were tantamount to a bomb sounding in the huge hall, shocking the thirteen hall masters silently, and their eyes were replaced by thick incredulity.
They really couldn't understand that the Pope was going to withdraw the right of pardon because of such a trivial matter, and the Pope would rather be on the side of the common people than win over the Lord of the Thirteen Halls?
At this moment, they can't understand it, but Lu Feng, who knows the Pope's thoughts, can clearly know the intention of the Pope's actions, after all, the Thirteen Halls have been fighting for each other for many years, and the contradictions have been concentrated for a long time, if they can't be given warnings and deterrence, when the holy war starts in the future, these people still have a few people who can be of great use.
Therefore, the Pope's actions are tantamount to a slap in the face, wanting the head of the Thirteen Hall Masters to sober up.
But at the same time, Lu Feng was even more worried about whether the Lord of the Thirteen Halls would have a grudge against the Pope because of this, and if it really backfired, how would the Pope respond.
Lu Feng didn't know whether to speak or not, looking up at the Pope's determined gaze, and then looking at the blank eyes of Tongliao, he suddenly understood, and stood silently with everyone without saying anything.
"Belle, didn't you hear me?"
Belle, who was in a trance, was pulled back by the Pope's questioning voice, and she nodded a little flusteredly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
The Pope let out a "hmm", and then the seemingly cloudy gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, but all the thirteen hall masters who looked at him chose to retreat without exception, lowering their heads as if they were surrendering.
But the Pope obviously didn't feel that this kind of submission was from the bottom of his heart, just because of his status and strength, which was far from achieving the result he wanted, and in order to stir up this troubled water, the Pope's next words surprised everyone at the same time, and one by one they refuted it vigorously.
"The Son has returned, and you have all heard about it."
The sudden change in the topic made everyone a little out of the pope's rhythm for a while, and the shock in his eyes had not disappeared and was replaced by confusion, but before everyone could think about it, the pope said to himself.
"Since this incident was discovered by the Holy Son, then this matter will be handled by the Holy Son."
As soon as these words came out, the thirteen hall masters all looked up without exception, their eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension, but more of them were a worry that was intense to the extreme.
As for the reason for the worry, it must be that the Holy Son at this moment is not yet a member of the Holy Sect Empire, and the Pope suddenly asked the Holy Son to deal with this matter, which is tantamount to a time bomb for the Hall Master of the Thirteen Halls.
If it is really detonated, what will happen to the thirteen halls, although everyone in the current situation does not know, it is also a predictable thing.
After all, compared to the Pope, the Holy Son is like an outsider in their eyes, whether it is the deep-rooted power of the Thirteen Halls, or they are accustomed to power, they are allowed to need an outsider to influence their children, there is no doubt about this, I believe that once it happens, the power of resistance will definitely be earth-shattering.
Such an idea is not only clear to Lu Feng, even if the other hall masters can faintly understand all this, but looking at the Pope's sharp eyes now, it is obviously not a casual remark, and the war hall master Sabo, who has always been reckless, is the first to speak out to stop it.
"No!"
The Pope snorted coldly.
"Why not?"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Son has just returned, and I still don't know much about the affairs within my Divine Sect Empire, if I rashly hand over this matter to an outsider, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary trouble."
"Trouble? What's the trouble? Tell me about it. ”
Seeing that the Pope's tone was getting colder and colder, Lu Feng beside him hurriedly pulled Sabo, who was puzzled, turned his head to look, but saw Lu Feng signaling him not to speak, and just about to ask, Lu Feng responded instead.
"Your Majesty, after all, the Holy Son is an outsider, and it is difficult to determine whether he is loyal to my Divine Sect Empire at this moment, if he makes a big deal because of his improper handling, I am afraid that it will affect the prestige of my Divine Cult Empire, and if it is used by someone with a heart, it will definitely be a great hidden danger for my Divine Empire, so I suggest that this matter should be handled by Bai Li, the hall master of the Hall of Law."
What Lu Feng said was reasonable, and he seemed to be thinking about the empire in and out of his words, and such words also attracted the echo of other hall masters.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Lu said is true, now that the people of the major empires are gathered in my Divine Sect Empire, if this kind of thing happens at this stall, it will not only make my Divine Sect Empire lose face, but it is also very likely to be used by them."
"Yes, Your Majesty, now is the critical moment for the goddess to choose a husband, and you must not lose the big because of the small."
The echoes of everyone sounded one after another in the main hall, but the Pope was unmoved and said lightly.
"You don't need to say any more, this matter is settled, Lu Feng, you go and inform the Holy Son of my decision."
Seeing that the Pope's words were resolute, Lu Feng did not dare to disobey, and nodded.
"Your Majesty, but ......."
"But what?"
"Your Majesty, whether the Holy Son is willing to accept it or not is still unknown, I am afraid ......."
Lu Feng wanted to speak and stopped, but the Pope's next words made everyone present confused again.
"Go ahead, if he refuses, then I will ignore this matter, and if he accepts, he will handle everything."
With that, the Pope ignored everyone's obstruction, and slowly got up and left the hall, leaving only the stunned and puzzled eyes of everyone.
