In the battle over the Bridge of Helplessness, Chen Changsheng had narrowly defeated Xu Yourong, thus confirming his position as successor to the Orthodoxy.
But that night, he did not go to the [Light Palace]. Instead, he went to Fortune Peace Road to eat beef ribs with Xu Yourong.
Under countless shocked gazes, the person who raised his hand to ask for leave for him was Tang Thirty Six.
The one who had lowered his head to receive the Divine Staff that represented the authority of the Orthodoxy was also Tang Thirty-Six.
Today, it was still Tang Thirty-Six who was using the Divine Staff to control the Li Palace's array and lock onto the courtyard full of snow.
This kind of pressure was too great. Even someone like Tang Thirty Six didn't want to experience it again.
Chen Chang Sheng looked at him and smiled. He turned around and looked at the courtyard in the wind and snow. His smile gradually disappeared.
The gathering of the halls in White Emperor City was tantamount to moving the Li Palace's grand array over.
If the Demon Lord had attacked earlier, he really would have taken the risk and tried to kill him.
Regrettably, but also perhaps rejoicing — the Demon Lord had not intervened.
Based on the current situation, Madam Mu would not give them another chance like today.
If he and the Demon Lord could both safely leave White Emperor City, then …
"There's something that I need your help with."
He said to Tang Thirty-Six.
Tang Thirty Six's expression changed slightly and asked, "What is it?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Help me write a few letters."
Tang Thirty Six didn't understand what letter he wanted him to write. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and his expression became very interesting, "A love letter? Even though your literary talent isn't as good as mine, why do you need to learn from those foolish youths? Could it be that you want to write to Princess Luoluo and are afraid that the Holy Maiden will see it? "
Chen Chang Sheng wanted to explain, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
…
…
Tang Thirty-Six had only arrived at White Emperor City this morning.
Because he had come in such a hurry, he did not bring too many of the Tang Family's subordinates. He only brought Fivekind Man.
It was the Fivekind Man from Wenshui City a few days ago.
In the struggle between Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng, the Tang Old Master was still biased toward the former, but when it came to major matters related to the demon race, his response was extremely clear. As long as Chen Changsheng needed something, he would provide it.
The people of the Orthodoxy had also arrived in the wee hours of the morning.
Chen Changsheng had known of this matter the entire time, so when the Demon Lord invited him to meet, he had set the meeting today.
The Tang Old Master had sent his strongest force, and the Li Palace had sent even more. It could even be described as vast and mighty.
After Hu Thirty-Two brought back Chen Changsheng's decree, Daoist Siyuan set out from the Li Palace that very night. Along the way, he rendezvoused with Linghai Zhiwang and An Lin and led the seven thousand Orthodoxy Cavalry from the Mount Song Army headquarters to the western plains. After passing through the Cong Province Army headquarters, they met up with the Bear tribe and quietly entered the Red River region.
The seven thousand Papal Cavalrymen were currently hidden in the mountains on the other side of the river. Although they could not shake the overall situation of the demi-humans, they could still serve as a form of intimidation. As for the four archbishops who carried the treasures of the Li Palace with them, they were a valiant force that no one could ignore.
With the expulsion of Mu Jiushi and the execution of Daoist Baishi, the Six Prefects of the Orthodoxy had been replaced with the Upper Hu Thirty-Two, leaving five.
Four of them had left the capital and come to White Emperor City, tens of thousands of li away.
Mao Qiuyu had not come. Many people believed that this Prefect of the Orthodoxy with the highest cultivation level had not come because he had to guard the Li Palace. However, Chen Changsheng knew that this was not the case. It was because Mao Qiuyu was in seclusion, waiting for the heavenly secrets that would allow him to break into the Divine.
The matter of White Emperor City was naturally extremely important, and the safety of the Pope was of the utmost importance. However, in Chen Changsheng's view, Mao Qiuyu was at an important moment. Whether or not he could be disturbed by external forces and successfully enter the Divine Domain were equally important matters.
He turned to Linghai Zhiwang and asked, "Who is standing guard for Principal Mao?"
"The Heavenly Dao Academy is temporarily managed by Daoist Shu Xin. Zhuang Zhihuan has been living in the Li Palace this entire time."
Linghai Zhiwang added, "Besides them, the Archbishop of the Temple Seminary and several senior sisters of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green have also been at his side."
Zhuang Zhihuan had been born in poverty, but because he had received financial aid for his studies, he had always been close to the Wenshui Tangs. After serving as Mao Qiuyu's deputy for many years, he had finally become the Principal of the Heavenly Dao Academy several years ago. Whether it was in terms of cultivation, strength, insight, or methods, they were all extraordinary.
With him personally standing guard for Mao Qiuyu and those similarly powerful figures of the Six Ivies, Chen Changsheng logically had nothing to worry about. However, when he thought of Zhuang Zhihuan's son, he couldn't help but have a rather strange expression.
Everyone present knew of the story of the Garden of Zhou and Zhuang Huanyu's tragic suicide by the well, so they understood Chen Changsheng's worries.
Linghai Zhiwang glanced at Daoist Siyuan, but Daoist Siyuan pretended not to see.
An Lin felt very helpless. She stepped forward and said to Chen Changsheng, "Before leaving, the venerable Daoist issued a decree ordering the Prince of Xiang to take charge of this matter."
Chen Changsheng was at first surprised at these words, but then he came to his senses and said no more.
It was obvious that his teacher would not do anything in the current situation, so having the Prince of Xiang take charge of this matter was probably to reassure him.
Linghai Zhiwang and Daoist Siyuan seemed to have different thoughts.
Chen Changsheng asked, "What's wrong?"
Daoist Siyuan explained, "Before Priest Xin went to Fengyang City, he met with a Daoist from the Monastery of Eternal Spring."
Chen Changsheng fell silent.
Priest Xin had gone to Fengyang City and died there.
This was to make Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi believe that the person who killed their son was Chen Changsheng.
Master, do you really want me to die so badly?
Chen Changsheng could no longer remember how many times he had thought of this question since the coup of the Mausoleum of Books.
The situation had changed, and both the Imperial Court and Shang Xingzhou were placing their hopes on him to do something in White Emperor City.
But who knew how deep this obsession ran?
Linghai Zhiwang said with a gloomy expression, "At this crucial moment, if someone stabs a knife in the back, it will be very difficult to deal with."
The Orthodoxy possessed an unimaginable reserve and hidden strength. Even if Chen Changsheng brought the entire Li Palace to White Emperor City, it still wouldn't matter. But if Shang Xingzhou did not want to see the Orthodoxy gain another expert of the Divine Domain, who could stop him?
Chen Changsheng indicated that there was no need to discuss this matter any further.
Linghai Zhiwang and Daoist Siyuan were a little surprised, but they said no more.
After traveling tens of thousands of li and enduring a long period of pressure outside the Snow Wind Academy, the people of the Orthodoxy and Tang Thirty-Six were extremely tired, but they couldn't rest yet because Chen Changsheng needed their opinions on a certain matter.
The Daoist church became very quiet.
Ever since the coup of the Mausoleum of Books, the return of the Human race's Divine Domain experts to the sea of stars had become a very common occurrence in the last few years. But in the end, this was an internal struggle of the Human race, and Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi had died at the hands of a foreign race.
Linghai Zhiwang declared, "Madam Mu must die."
Not even the Prefects of the Orthodoxy had the right to speak about the life and death of a Saint. In the past, this could have been called wild speculation.
But he had said this, and the crowd was very calm.
Because in their view, this was a matter of course. (To be continued.)
