If it had happened in the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
However, the situation was completely different now. Especially after the Origin World was destroyed, there was no threat from the outside world.
In the residence, Xuanyuan Ling and Li Tian had just finished dealing with the few people who had followed Ke Yan to East Saint City.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Ling and Li Tian frowned slightly as they felt helpless.
"Troubled times," Li Tian whispered.
Li Tian muttered softly. Xuanyuan Ling did not say anything about this.
No one knew what Ancestor Hei's attitude would be after Ke Yan was killed. Of course, Xiao Chen and Lin Yun weren't afraid of Ancestor Hei.
However, it wasn't a good thing for the entire Sacred Palace and the entire Land of All Beings.
Once Ancestor Hei had any ideas, it might cause a split in Sacred Palace.
In the past, Xuanyuan Ling and Li Tian wouldn't be worried about such things. However, after the Origin World was destroyed, there was no threat from the outside world. Therefore, such things might happen.
Previously, everyone knew that their main enemy was the Origin World.
Therefore, they could tolerate some unimportant things. After all, it was beneficial for both sides if they cooperated and harmful if they didn't. Everyone knew that.
However, now that the Origin World was gone, there was no threat from the outside world. Sacred Palace had become a dominant force.
In a situation where there was no threat or pressure at all, some things would obviously change.
This was especially true for the human heart. This was the most fickle thing. People said that experts with high cultivation levels were all existences whose hearts were as still as water.
However, was that really the case? Not necessarily. The human heart was the most difficult thing to control and the most unpredictable.
Moreover, people often said that it was easy to share hardships but difficult to share happiness.
They didn't know what Ancestor Hei's attitude would be, but it wasn't something that Xuanyuan Ling and Li Tian could control.
No matter how smart or scheming they were, they couldn't control the thoughts of others.
"I hope there won't be any chaos."
Xuanyuan Ling murmured.
While the two of them were talking, Ancestor Hei was sitting in the courtyard with a gloomy face.
In front of him, there were several members of Sacred Palace standing respectfully. These people were the old men who had followed Ancestor Hei all the way. They were Ancestor Hei's trusted subordinates.
In the Temple, he was considered a core member of Ancestor Hei's faction.
At this moment, all of them had gathered at Ancestor Hei's place. It was obvious that they were discussing something. However, looking at the ugly expressions on their faces, it was obvious that it was not something good.
"Ancestor Hei, that Xiao Chen is too much. Even if Ke Yan did something wrong, he didn't even say a word before killing him. He doesn't put you in his eyes at all."
"That's right. Ancestor Hei, you and he are both Divine Ancestors. If you kill Ke Yan so openly, who will take us seriously in the future?"
Sure enough, these people were all here for Ke Yan's matter.
Moreover, everyone's words revealed their resentment towards Xiao Chen.
It wasn't that they felt bad for Ke Yan. It could even be said that many people didn't care about Ke Yan's life at all.
What they really cared about was Xiao Chen's attitude.
Killing Ke Yan in such a grand manner gave people the feeling that the teeth would be cold without the lips.
Today, Xiao Chen could kill Ke Yan in such a grand manner. What about next time? Would he be able to kill them in the same way?
Moreover, they were all members of the Temple. It was just that they belonged to different factions. However, Xiao Chen and Lin Yun's factions were undoubtedly the strongest among all the factions in the Temple.
It couldn't be helped. It was because Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were the strongest among the Divine Ancestors.
Previously, because of the threat of the Origin World, no one cared about this. They even hoped that Xiao Chen and Lin Yun would be stronger.
Because the stronger they were, the greater their chances of winning in the Land of All Beings.
But now, the Origin World had been destroyed. The entire world belonged to the Land of All Beings. Naturally, everyone's thoughts had changed.
We are all members of the Holy Sanctum, so why is it that you, Xiao Chen, and Lin Yun's faction are superior to ours?
We also have Divine Ancestors behind us. Why are we inferior to Xiao Chen and Lin Yun?
These people had such thoughts now. In fact, such thoughts had existed for a long time. Ke Yan's death, to put it bluntly, was just an explosive point.
Just as Xuanyuan Ling and Li Tian had said, the times had changed. Therefore, people's thoughts had changed.
If it was in the past, these people would definitely not say such words.
Ke Yan's death was nothing.
But now, it could only be said that where there were people, there would be underworld. There would be scheming and fighting. This was unavoidable.
Ancestor Hei's expression turned ugly when he heard his subordinate's words.
He was mainly concerned about his reputation. If he didn't say or do anything about this matter, his subordinates would definitely be bitterly disappointed.
In that case, who would sincerely follow him in the future?
Things that he had never thought about before were constantly surging into Ancestor Hei's mind.
For example, Ancestor Hei had never thought about how much authority he had in the Temple. He had never thought about whether his faction was strong or not.
At that time, Ancestor Hei only thought about one problem, and that was how to defeat the Primogenitors and how to end the war that affected the entire world.
To put it bluntly, Ancestor Hei had no selfish motives at that time.
But it was different now. Ancestor Hei began to have selfish motives and began to think about his authority in the Temple.
He began to wonder why Xiao Chen and Lin Yun could suppress him when they were all Divine Ancestors.
Ancestor Hei even felt that Xiao Chen was trying to show him who was the boss. He wanted him to understand that even though they were both Divine Ancestors, he couldn't be compared to Xiao Chen.
With many thoughts, there would naturally be a lot of suspicions. And these suspicions were often the source of conflicts.
In addition, the people below were fanning the flames. Ancestor Hei was even more certain of this idea.
Ancestor Hei said coldly with a cold glint in his eyes.
"At this time, I am free to make a decision. I will definitely make Xiao Chen give me an explanation."
During this period of time, he temporarily appeased the hearts of his subordinates, but this sentence alone was obviously useless.
Looking at the current expressions of these people, each and every one of them was filled with righteous indignation. If this continued, there would probably be more and more conflicts between the factions of Ancestor Hei and Xiao Chen.
The atmosphere in the Temple became a little subtle, and the major factions slowly became estranged.
In particular, the factions of Xiao Chen and Ancestor Hei were even more displeased with each other.
With the disappearance of the external enemy, internal strife began. This seemed to be an inescapable law. It was okay to share weal and woe, but it was very difficult to share blessings. Even blood brothers were like this, let alone people from different universes.
