Leng Yue asked, "Do any of you know him?"
Wutian and You Mo shook their heads.
Leng Yue frowned, "That's strange. We've only met this person by chance, yet he wants to kill us. Is this not his true appearance?"
Wutian asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Leng Yue said, "Yes, I suspect that he has changed his appearance. Observe him carefully and see if he's your enemy."
Wutian shook his head, "Even I don't know how many enemies I have. Forget it."
You Mo added, "Same for me."
Leng Yue said, "Can you be a little more serious? This is a special period. What if there's some lawless person who wants to harm us?"
Wutian thought, "Then let's observe him a little more and see if his killing intent is directed at one of us or all of us."
Leng Yue was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Wutian explained through a communication technique, "If it's only directed at one of us, it means it's just a personal grievance. However, if it's directed at all of us, it means he has grievances with the entire sacred hall."
With that, You Mo also realised the severity of the problem. He began to pay close attention secretly.
In next to no time, You Mo and Leng Yue noticed that no matter which one of them the white clothed old man looked at, a wisp of killing intent would flash within his eyes. Even though it only flashed for a moment, they were still able to clearly notice it when they intentionally paid attention.
Leng Yue said sternly, "Clearly, he has grievances with our sacred hall. The only people who have grievances with our sacred hall across the entire Saints' World are the various desolate beast clans of the western continent."
You Mo said, "In that case, it's extremely likely that he's a member of one of the desolate beast clans on the western continent, or he's a transformation of a desolate beast. But why has he come to the Holy City? And why does his bearing seem so unfamiliar? "
Leng Yue said, "Since he can enter the Holy City, not only has he changed his appearance, but his bearing as well."
Wutian asked, "We're currently recruiting adjudicators. Do you think it has something to do with this?"
Leng Yue and You Mo looked at each other when they heard that. It really was possible.
A cold light flashed through You Mo's eyes. He said, "I'll capture him and interrogate him!"
"Don't go!"
Leng Yue shouted and sent a voice transmission, "Since he dares to enter the Holy City, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Don't alert him."
"I agree with Leng Yue. If he's a Paragon and we go to interrogate him, it'll be fine if there's no problem with his identity. But if he's really someone from the Western Continent or a Desolate Beast, not only will we be in trouble, but the people of the Holy City will also be in trouble," Wutian said worriedly.
"Then what should we do?"
You Mo frowned. Suddenly, his eyes brightened as he suggested, "Why don't we report this to the Grand Hall Master?"
Wutian and Leng Yue exchanged glances before nodding slightly.
You Mo immediately took out the Earth Sign Token and sent a message to the Grand Hall Master.
Not long after, a reply came.
You Mo glanced over and transmitted his voice, "First Hall Master told us not to alert him. Let's leave the Pearl Moon Pavilion first and wait for him in another courtyard."
Wutian said, "Then let's go, buddy. Here's the bill."
The waiter hurriedly ran over and said with a flattering smile, "Sirs, the Patriarch has instructed that your expenses are free of charge. Our Patriarch is Lord Zhu Wei."
"Zhu Wei?"
Wutian shook his head. He took out three divine herbs and stuffed them into the waiter's hands. Then, he strode away with Leng Yue and You Mo without looking at the white-robed old man again.
"He said it's free of charge. Why are you still giving me divine herbs?" The waiter was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly chased after them and said, "Sirs, this table of dishes isn't worth three divine herbs."
You Mo laughed and said, "Take the extra as a reward for you."
"Reward?"
The waiter was extremely shocked. Then, he was overjoyed and thanked them. "Thank you for your reward, sirs. Please come often when you're free."
After Wutian and the other two left, the waiter stood at the door and smiled foolishly. "So, the Adjudicator isn't as cold and heartless as the rumors say!"
"Just you wait. Tomorrow will be your doomsday!"
The Tenth Elder sneered in his heart.
After returning to the courtyard, Wutian and the other two waited while pondering.
An hour later, the Grand Hall Master finally arrived at the courtyard, accompanied by a white-haired old man.
"Greetings, Grand Hall Master."
Wutian and the other two bowed.
The Grand Hall Master smiled and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is the famous Inner Hall Master."
"Greetings, Inner Hall Master."
The three bowed again.
The Inner Hall Master nodded, his old face filled with gratification. "The three of you were able to discover that person's identity from some small details. Such insight is commendable."
You Mo cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the praise, sirs. Sirs, Grand Hall Master, should we take action immediately and nip the hidden danger in the bud? "
The Grand Hall Master looked at Wutian and asked, "Fu Chou, do you have any thoughts?"
Wutian pondered for a moment and said, "This subordinate thinks that we should hold back for now."
"Why?"
The Grand Hall Master was puzzled.
You Mo and Leng Yue were also puzzled.
The Inner Hall Master also looked at him curiously.
Wutian said indifferently, "This person's identity and purpose are just our guesses and have not been confirmed. If we take action now, what if we kill the innocent?"
Leng Yue said, "Can't we search his soul?"
"Searching his soul is indeed a way, but have you thought about the consequences of forcefully searching his soul? Without a doubt, he will become an idiot. "
"Of course, you may say that for the safety of the Eastern Continent, we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. But don't forget, the Temple's duty and mission is to protect the people of the Eastern Continent."
"If he is innocent and we kill him by mistake, not only will it go against the Temple's mission, it will also make the people bitterly disappointed."
"Maybe you will say that we can explain, but what's the use of our explanation when he is already dead? On the contrary, the people of the world might take our explanation as an excuse for us to shirk our responsibility. "
Wutian spoke with fervor and assurance, speaking in an orderly manner.
The Inner Hall Master nodded. Obviously, these words were what he meant.
You Mo frowned and said, "But what if he really has ulterior motives?"
Wutian said indifferently, "Don't we have the First Hall Master and the Inner Hall Master? With the two of them around, even if this person really has ulterior motives, he will not be able to cause any big waves, unless he is a Heavenly Venerate. However, would a Heavenly Venerate do such sneaky things? "
Leng Yue and You Mo nodded. They had to admit that Wutian's thoughts were on point.
The Inner Palace Hall Master smiled and said, "First Palace Master, in the past, you always praised him in front of this old man. Originally, this old man thought that you were exaggerating. However, after seeing him today, he is indeed a promising talent."
The First Hall Master said proudly, "Of course!"
"Look at how proud you are."
The Inner Hall Master shook his head and laughed. He looked at Wutian and said, "Fu Chou, you have the same idea as this old man. Tomorrow, during your inspection, this old man and the First Hall Master will disguise ourselves as adjudicators and follow you. If this person really comes to cause trouble, this old man will immediately capture him."
"Capture him?"
Wutian frowned and cupped his hands. "Then, I will have to trouble you two."
Capturing him was equivalent to capturing him alive. If he captured him alive, it would not be a big problem. However, Li Tian would be implicated.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to make the Inner Hall Master kill the Tenth Elder!
The night passed in silence!
The next day, early morning!
The sky had just turned white when Wutian woke up from his meditation. He walked out of the attic, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and walked to a pavilion. He looked up at the sky that was gradually turning red, and his eyes flickered.
After a while, he sat on a stone bench and took out the Smokeless Zither. He gently stroked the strings with both hands. His eyes were as gentle as water.
Then, he took a deep breath and plucked all ten fingers. A beautiful and pleasant melody faintly reverberated in the courtyard.
However, there was a trace of anxiety and confusion in the sound of the zither.
This proved that his heart was not calm enough at this moment!
The most important step was to wait. He had to maintain a calm state of mind and be ready to adapt to any situation.
He was now used to playing a song when he was confused and anxious. He could find the peace that belonged to him in the sound of the zither.
Gradually, the anxiety and confusion in the sound of the zither disappeared and was replaced by calmness. His heart also became as calm as an ancient well!
The morning sun rose from the horizon and the sunlight shone on the mountains and the earth.
This moment was the most beautiful moment of every day.
He put away the zither and stopped playing!
Wutian stood up and turned to walk toward the pavilion.
In front of the flowerbed outside the pavilion, the Inner Hall Master and the others stood side by side. They were all silent and seemed to be immersed in the sound of his zither.
Wutian came to them and said lightly, "Everyone, it's time for us to set off. Get ready."
…
On the square.
Before the sun rose, people came one after another.
At this moment, all the people who were going to participate in the assessment had already arrived and were looking forward to it.
Soon, surrounded by several guards, the City Lord also walked into the square. He stood at the front and counted the number of people.
Whoosh!!!
Less than an hour later, five figures descended out of thin air.
The one in the lead was Wutian, followed by Leng Yue and You Mo. Finally, there were two unfamiliar faces. They were precisely the Head Hall Master and the Inner Hall Master in disguise. They all had the appearance of young burly men.
Not only did their appearances change drastically, even their auras were completely different from their original selves.
Furthermore, they all wore a pure white badge on their chests.
Wutian trio also already wore their badges. But among the five people, only Wutian's badge was blood-red. It was extremely eye-catching!
The City Lord took a look at that blood-colored badge and his pupils suddenly constricted. He shouted, "What are you waiting for? Quickly pay respects to Lord Fu Chou!"
The attention of the thousand over people in front was also on the blood-colored badge. They did not understand the meaning of this.
But after hearing the City Lord's shout, everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly said with cupped hands, "We pay respects to Lord Fu Chou."
Wutian nodded.
At this time, the City Lord jogged in front of Wutian. Looking at the Head Hall Master two people in puzzlement, he asked, "Your Excellency, these two are?"
Wutian said coolly, "Didn't you see their badges? They are all adjudicators and specially came to assist me. "
The City Lord hurriedly said, "Paying respects to the two lords."
The Head Hall Master two people nodded their heads coldly.
The City Lord did not mind either and looked at Wutian again. "Your Excellency, there's still one person who hasn't come. Do you want to wait a little longer?"
Wutian looked at the horizon and said with a nod, "It's still early now. Let's wait for another hour."
He was not really waiting for this person. He was waiting for Tenth Elder to take action!
If he wanted to kill all the people who came to participate in the assessment, now was undoubtedly the best opportunity!
