After Wutian and the other two left, the City Lord returned to his seat with a hint of a smile in his eyes. He muttered, "Recruitment of adjudicators is really timely."
He took out the Earth Sign Token and sent out a message.
Not long after, Zhu Wei came back.
Obviously, the message was sent to Zhu Wei.
As soon as he entered the living room, Zhu Wei said anxiously, "City Lord, is what you said true?"
The City Lord smiled. "Of course it's true. I've already told you the news. Whether or not it succeeds depends on your performance."
Zhu Wei cupped his hands. "Thank you, City Lord. If my son can become an adjudicator, I'll definitely prepare a big gift for you."
The City Lord shook his head. "You and I have been friends for many years. Is there a need to be so polite?"
Zhu Wei smiled, and so did the City Lord.
Zhu Wei suddenly frowned and said, "This matter needs to be dealt with properly. City Lord, do you know who's the leader?"
The City Lord said, "Needless to say, it must be Lady Leng Yue. I've heard that she's highly regarded by the First Palace Master. She used to be the leader whenever she went on a mission. This time will be no exception."
However, Zhu Wei didn't agree with this statement. He said, "City Lord, it's not that I doubt your judgment, but when I saw them, I felt that the masked man was extraordinary. Did you notice that the masked man looked a little familiar?"
"Familiar?"
The City Lord was slightly stunned and shook his head. "You're thinking too much. There are many people in the world who wear masks. What's so strange about that? Besides, he's just a Ninth Tribulation Divine Spirit. What background can he have? Don't worry, my judgment has never been disappointed. You just have to treat Lady Leng Yue well. "
Zhu Wei also felt that he was thinking too much. He smiled and said, "City Lord, do you know if Lady Leng Yue has any special hobbies?"
The City Lord said, "As far as I know, she seems to like playing the zither. Why don't you give her a zither?"
"Understood. I'll arrange it now."
Zhu Wei cupped his hands and turned to leave.
The City Lord shouted, "Guards."
With the sound of hurried footsteps, another guard arrived at the entrance of the reception hall.
The city lord said, "Pass down the order. From today onward, the Holy Sanctum will be recruiting Adjudicators. All Deities of the Tenth Tribulation and above can come to the Holy City to register. The time limit is three hundred years. After three hundred years, the official assessment will be held. If any of you guards want to participate, you can also register."
"Thank you, City Lord, for your guidance!"
It was said that the guard shed tears of gratitude.
The City Lord said indifferently, "Don't thank me too early. I still don't know the criteria for the recruitment of Adjudicators this time. Whether or not you can enter the Holy Sanctum will depend on your luck and good fortune. You may leave!"
"Yes!"
The guard bowed and retreated. He immediately began to spread the news.
The Temple's recruitment of adjudicators was a major event in the Eastern Continent. Once the news spread, it was like a plague that quickly spread throughout the Eastern Continent.
In less than three days, more than half of the Eastern Continent knew about it!
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and began to move towards the Holy City.
The natives of the Holy City were also rubbing their hands in anticipation.
City Lord's Mansion!
In a secluded corner, there was an independent courtyard. The courtyard had birds chirping and flowers fragrant, and the environment was beautiful. It was definitely a good place to cultivate one's mind.
This was the residence that the City Lord had arranged for Wutian and the other two to stay.
That night, the sky was clear and the wind was clear. The courtyard was silent.
Dong!
Suddenly, the sound of a zither echoed. However, there was a trace of coldness in the zither sound. It was like an iceberg that was cold to the ears.
Wutian lived on the third floor. After hearing the zither sound, he could not help but get up and walk to the balcony. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Leng Yue sitting in the flowerbed alone. Her jade-like fingers were plucking the zither strings. There was no expression on her face, like an ice beauty.
Swoosh!
You Mo appeared out of thin air beside Wutian. He shook his head and said, "Leng Yue is not only beautiful, but also very talented. However, she's too cold and difficult to approach."
Wutian said, "Aren't all the people of the Holy Sanctum like this?"
You Mo smiled and said, "Are they? At least I'm not. "
Wutian said, "That's just because you feel good about yourself. If you don't want to admit it, you can ask the City Lord. He will tell you how cold you are."
Hearing that, You Mo could not help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, the zither sound came to an abrupt end. Leng Yue looked up at Wutian and asked, "When do you plan to play a song with me?"
Wutian said indifferently, "Your zither sound has a kind of coldness, while my zither sound has a kind of calmness. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to play a song together in our entire lives."
"I see!"
A trace of disappointment appeared in Leng Yue's cold eyes.
Wutian said, "I'll leave the matters here to you guys. I'll go find a place to stabilize my realm."
You Mo frowned and said, "No one is here to disturb you. Why don't you stabilize your realm here?"
"I like to be alone."
Wutian smiled faintly and disappeared without warning.
"Uh!"
You Mo was stunned and shook his head. "How irresponsible."
"He's the captain now. It's his freedom to do whatever he wants. We have no right to interfere," Leng Yue said and then returned to her room to cultivate.
"Aren't these two too boring?" You Mo was stunned and then pursed his lips. "Since you all like to be alone, then I'll go to the city alone."
…
Outside the Holy City, there were endless mountains in all directions.
Skyless turned into a streak of flowing light, heading straight for the north.
A few hours later, he stopped above a forest. His Divine Sense spread out and everything was clear in his eyes.
This forest was extremely vast and there was not a single person. There were many ferocious beasts, but their strength was only between the eighth and tenth tribulation. They were not a threat to him.
Swoosh!
With a flash, he descended on a short mountain below and released his aura slightly. A few nearby eighth tribulation ferocious beasts immediately fled in panic.
Then, he sat cross-legged and opened his 99 meridians and earth meridians. He began to absorb the essence of all things in this forest to stabilize his cultivation realm.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
On this day, a ray of golden light suddenly appeared in a corner of the Eastern Continent.
Immediately after, two young men walked out of the golden light one after another!
The two of them were about the same in terms of height and figure.
One of them wore a long black robe and had long hair that draped over his shoulders. His facial features were regular and his aura was extraordinary.
The other person wore a fiery red robe and his long hair was also red like fire. When the breeze blew, it was like clusters of flames burning and rising in the void.
Moreover, both of them had a pair of bright and deep eyes that were filled with wisdom!
After the man in the fiery robe walked out of the golden light, he scanned the world in front of him with a friendly smile on his handsome face.
The man in black waved his sleeve and the golden light dissipated, revealing an ancient mirror that seemed to be made of gold. He grabbed the ancient mirror and put it into his body. Then, he looked at the man in the fiery robe beside him in silence.
After a while, the man in the fiery robe looked up at the sky and smiled, "Holy World, I'm here."
The corner of the man in black's mouth curled up and he said jokingly, "If Xuanyuan Ao knew that you and Wutian have entered the Holy World, I wonder how he would react."
The man in the fiery robe smiled, "He would naturally be shocked. Then, he would personally come to persuade us to let go of the past and join the Holy World. If he couldn't persuade us, he would kill us. This is Xuanyuan Ao. He wants to save the world and I admire him very much. However, his way of doing things is a little too extreme."
The man in black shook his head and laughed, "How do you plan to explain to Wutian about Han Tian and the others?"
The man in the fiery robe said, "To tell the truth, send a message to Wutian and ask him where he is. Don't tell him that I'm here. I want to give him a surprise."
The man in black took out the Earth Manifestation Token and sent a message to Wutian.
In the forest, Wutian was cultivating when the Earth Manifestation Token suddenly vibrated.
When he took out the Ground Elephant Token and took a look, a glint flashed across his eyes, and he quickly replied with a message.
"So fast?"
The man in black looked at the Earth Manifestation Token in his hand in a daze. Then, he sent his spiritual sense into it and a playful look appeared on his face.
The man in the fiery robe asked, "What did Wutian say?"
The man in black said, "He asked me where I went in the past year and told me that he's in the Holy City. The Holy City is the Holy Temple's base in the secular world. He went to the Holy City on the orders of the First Hall Master to recruit adjudicators. Moreover, he has a plan."
The man in the fiery robe asked, "What plan?"
The man in black said, "He asked me to think of a way to kill everyone who came to participate in the assessment and push the blame to the desolate beasts of the Western Continent!"
The man in the fiery robe smiled, "It seems like he wants to completely infuriate the Holy Temple. However, I don't think it's appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?" The man in black frowned.
"Firstly, the various desolate beasts are not stupid. They won't easily take the blame."
"Secondly, if everyone who came to participate in the assessment dies, it means that Wutian's mission has failed again."
"In that case, he might lose the right to enter the inner hall. To completely destroy the Holy Temple, we have to start from the inner hall. As for the Judgement Hall, the Enforcers, and the Resource Hall, they don't matter at all. "
The man in the fiery robe smiled.
The man in black's eyes lit up and said, "You're right. Even if the Judgement Hall, the Enforcers, and the Resource Hall are destroyed, they can be rebuilt in a short period of time. However, the inner hall is different. The inner hall is the lifeline of the Holy Temple. Once it's destroyed, the Holy Temple will only exist in name."
The man in the fiery robe continued, "Moreover, just the ten great elders of the Kun Peng Race, the Kun Peng Emperor, and the Five Ancestors of the Kun Peng Race are not enough to shake the Holy Temple. We have to drag the other elders of the Kun Peng Race in as well!"
The man in black asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
The man in the fiery robe smiled, "I don't have any good ideas, but I do have a stupid idea."
"Tell me."
The man in black looked at him expectantly.
The man in the fiery robe said, "My idea is actually to kill those who are going to the Holy City to participate in the assessment. However, it's different from Wutian's plan. I want the people of the Kun Peng Race to come to the Eastern Mainland personally."
The man in black frowned, "I'm afraid that's difficult to do."
The man in the fiery robe shook his head, "It's not difficult. You have already gained the trust of the Kun Peng Race. I believe that with your ability, it will be easy to convince an elder. Furthermore, you have the Space-Time Mirror. Bringing him to the Eastern Mainland will be a simple matter. Furthermore, no one will find out."
