Back then, when Qian Zhan returned to the Taiyu Secret Realm to report, the First Palace Master secretly summoned the five Palace Masters in the middle of the night to discuss in the secret room.
The First Palace Master mentioned what had happened to the Shang Qing Temple and the Kongming Temple. After accepting the foreign God Emperor of unknown origins, accidents happened one after another.
The Shang Qing Temple, in particular, hurriedly explored the Chaos Sea. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties and suffered great losses.
At that time, the Palace Masters were a little worried that there would be any problems if the Taiyu Shrine accepted Dao Xingyun, the foreign God Emperor of unknown origins.
The First Palace Master suppressed the objections of the crowd and comforted the Palace Masters. He also proposed a plan to start the operation 20 years later.
Everyone thought that there would be no problems under the First Palace Master's careful plan.
However, no one expected that something would still happen to the Taiyu Shrine. Dao Xingyun still brought trouble to the Temple.
More than eight hundred thousand people were kidnapped. Half of the city and a town's people disappeared at the same time. The atmosphere of panic spread to the various Temples in the South.
Moreover, the three Palace Masters led thousands of elites to the South for two months, but they did not even find out what the murderer looked like.
It was foreseeable that the three Palace Masters were helpless, and the murderer's evil deeds would continue.
If the situation continued to escalate, the South would be in chaos sooner or later!
The Third Palace Master blurted out this sentence in a hurry. After he finished speaking, he realized that he was too straightforward.
In his position, even if he had this idea, he could not say it out loud.
After all, only the Fourth Palace Master and the Sixth Palace Master opposed Dao Xingyun's appointment as the Seventh Palace Master.
Fortunately, the Second Palace Master understood his feelings and nodded. "Yes, after I investigated the results, I had the same idea as you.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, I thought of a solution and told the First Palace Master tonight. "
"What solution?" The Third Palace Master was very interested. He quickly asked and listened attentively.
The Second Palace Master lowered his voice and said, "The murderer is obviously targeting Dao Xingyun. I sent Dao Xingyun to the South to join forces with the Fourth Palace Master, the Fifth Palace Master, and the Sixth Palace Master to capture the murderer.
Dao Xingyun was a bait to lure the murderer out.
However, Dao Xingyun was the Seventh Hall Master and should contribute to the Divine Hall. It was also his responsibility to catch the murderer.
In any case, with the cooperation of the three Hall Masters, there is no need to worry about his safety. The murderer will also be caught quickly, and the chaotic situation in the south will also be quelled … "
The Third Palace Master nodded and praised, "That's right! The Second Palace Master's analysis was very reasonable, and this countermeasure was very feasible.
But … why didn't the First Palace Master agree?
Doesn't he want to catch the murderer as soon as possible and end the chaos in the south? "
The Second Palace Master smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, of course I do. However, the First Palace Master is more concerned about the safety of the Seventh Palace Master. "
"This …" The Third Hall Master was a little speechless. He did not know how to solve the problem, so he could only think to himself, "The First Hall Master treats Dao Xingyun with such importance and care. This has already surpassed his attitude towards us. This is not a good thing."
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while.
The Third Palace Master was about to stand up and leave. Before he left, he said to the Second Palace Master solemnly, "Don't worry, Second Palace Master. I support your decision and plan.
This matter was originally caused by Dao Xingyun. He brought trouble to me, so of course he has to solve it himself. "
The Second Palace Master nodded and personally sent the Third Palace Master off.
In less than two days, the related news spread in the Great Universe Mystery Realm.
First, it was the generals under the Third Palace Master, then the generals and commanders of the other peaks.
After a few more days, even the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Palace Masters who were far away in the south, who were exhausted from running around, also knew that the owner of the mysterious mark was the Seventh Palace Master, Dao Xingyun.
For a time, everyone in the Great Universe Mystery Realm was talking about it. They all believed that the murderer came for Dao Xingyun.
The three Palace Masters who were still searching for the murderer in the south were also complaining and complaining that Dao Xingyun had brought trouble to the Divine Hall.
Especially the Fourth and Sixth Palace Masters, they felt a sense of victory.
Back then, they had objected to the First Palace Master appointing Dao Xingyun as the Seventh Palace Master. They were worried that Dao Xingyun would bring trouble to the Divine Hall.
Now, it turned out that their worries were right.
Therefore, they bore a grudge against Dao Xingyun for the humiliation they had experienced in the past two months. They were extremely resentful.
The three Palace Masters secretly contacted the Third Palace Master and the Second Palace Master to ask for a countermeasure while they were hunting for the murderer.
Seeing that the matter had spread, the Second Palace Master did not hide it anymore and told them his idea.
After the three Palace Masters heard about it, they all agreed wholeheartedly. They could not wait to kidnap Dao Xingyun and bring him to the south.
However, this countermeasure still needed the First Palace Master's approval and approval, and the First Palace Master was reluctant to make a decision.
In righteous indignation, the three Palace Masters jointly sent a message back to the First Palace Master to agree with the Second Palace Master's plan.
The Third Palace Master also contacted the Second Palace Master. The two of them went to the First Palace Master to ask for the Second Palace Master's approval of the plan.
For a time, the five Palace Masters jointly wrote a letter to the First Palace Master to send Dao Xingyun to the south to participate in the battle as a bait to lure the murderer out.
Moreover, the five Palace Masters had sufficient excuses. The slogan they shouted was to maintain the peace and stability of the Divine Hall.
No matter how much the First Palace Master protected Dao Xingyun, he also felt a lot of pressure in the face of the five Palace Masters joining forces to "abdicate".
…
One evening, the sun was setting in the west.
Under the towering ancient tree in the backyard of the Fanxing Palace, the First Palace Master and Dao Xingyun sat at the stone table, drinking tea and chatting.
There was not a single guard in the entire courtyard. It was so quiet that one could hear the falling leaves.
The atmosphere was solemn and serene. The First Palace Master was deeply worried. Dao Xingyun also had a bad premonition and looked unnatural.
In the end, it was the First Palace Master who spoke first. He said in a low voice, "I believe you can guess the purpose of my visit today."
Dao Xingyun gently put down the teacup in his hand and smiled bitterly. He said, "During this period of time, there were rumors and slanders in all the peaks in the Mystic Realm. Even if I didn't pay attention, I heard some rumors and roughly understood what was going on.
It seems that there is a mysterious powerhouse who is burning, killing, robbing, and kidnapping hundreds of thousands of people in the south.
The three Palace Masters have gone to the south to search for the murderer for more than two months, but there is no clue.
They don't even know who the murderer is, let alone catching him.
However, every time the murderer commits a crime, he will leave a mark at the scene.
It is said that the mark is my emblem. "
Of course, the First Palace Master knew that Dao Xingyun was not a heartless and unscheming person.
He must have known about this long ago and secretly thought of countermeasures. He just pretended not to know.
Therefore, the First Palace Master asked again, "What do you think?"
Dao Xingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Now, rumors and slanders are flying everywhere. Everyone is saying that I brought disaster to the Divine Hall and should go to the south to be the bait to lure the murderer out. Then, the three Palace Masters will work together to capture the murderer.
Logically speaking, there is no problem with this plan, but … "
