However, even though Chen Luoyang had grasped the other party's weakness, he could not know what the other party was thinking.
Through Black Pot, he looked up Nie Guangyuan's information. There was nothing special about the other party's experience when he was a teenager.
He did not have a special background, or was instructed by someone when he was a child.
The change should be a personal problem, and it was a decision made after adulthood.
This made Chen Luoyang curious.
Although he could see that the other party's desire for power was strong enough, he should be a person who could weigh his own weight.
No matter how ambitious he was, his current target should be Yan Mingkong, Chen Chuhua, and the others.
Even if he defected to the Xia dynasty, subverted the Devil religion, and overthrew Hierarch Chen, it would not be his turn to sit in the Hierarch's position.
It was reasonable for Zhou Pancheng to be dissatisfied with the current situation.
However, could Nie Guangyuan, other than the Devil religion, provide him with a higher position of power than he had now?
This made Chen Luoyang curious about what was going on in this guy's mind.
However, he was more concerned about another matter.
It was not Nie Guangyuan, nor was it Zhou Pancheng who threw the Heavenly Stone of Two Extremes into the crater of the volcano, triggering the eruption of lava under the Ancient God Peak.
There was another spy, who was it?
The Hierarch's public execution of Nie Guangyuan was seen by others as a warning to others.
Chen Luoyang himself was secretly observing the movements of the other Devil religion masters.
Nie Guangyuan was so cautious and hid so deeply, but Chen Luoyang found him and publicly executed him.
Would this trigger the other spy and cause him to reveal a flaw?
Chen Luoyang had already inquired about the eunuch chief of the Xia dynasty, Gao Zhen, through Black Pot.
The Heavenly Stone of Two Extremes was passed from the Xia dynasty to the Devil religion spy through him.
However, according to the information provided by Black Pot, the person who contacted Gao Zhen was a deaf-mute.
At first, Chen Luoyang suspected that this person was a hidden expert, but after investigating, he found that there was nothing special about him.
This person was only following orders, but the person who passed the orders to him did not come into contact with him.
All he had to do was go to the agreed hiding place to pick up or drop off the items.
Such an insignificant matter could be glossed over in the written accounts of his life experiences. He might not even mention it at all.
After Chen Luoyang secretly ordered his men to take down this small fry, the interrogators spent a long time gesturing and shouting before they could barely get a more detailed picture of the situation.
For example, according to the instructions, this person took the mask and the special crystal, and then went to see the eunuch of the Xia dynasty, Gao Zhen, and stood in front of him.
According to Gao Zhen's confession of gesturing and shouting, the strange crystal might be able to transmit a voice on its own to talk to Gao Zhen.
Then, another special treasure that looked like a belt helped him disappear with a camouflage spell.
Gao Zhen was probably kept in the dark all along. He thought that the tall masked man in front of him was a high-level expert of the Devil religion.
All of you are so careful …
Chen Luoyang smiled bitterly in his heart. He felt that he was being targeted.
Alright, I don't blame all of you.
After all, it was a job that would cost one's head if they failed.
For example, it was like now.
"Guangyuan, you have disappointed me."
Chen Luoyang sat on the seat and no longer looked at the former Chief of the White Tiger Hall.
The fist intent condensed and manifested Chi You's image increased its strength. It pressed down on Nie Guangyuan until the bones in his entire body creaked.
Chi You's image stretched one of its arms to the top of its head. From the nine divine weapons suspended in the air, it grabbed a long pole and giant axe. Then, it moved to the top of Nie Guangyuan's body.
Nie Guangyuan chuckled strangely, "You are stronger than before, which proves that my decision was right. If I don't prepare for a rainy day as soon as possible, I won't even have half a chance."
Chen Luoyang seemed to be deep in thought. He seemed to have figured it out.
The other party's exuberant ambition was far more intense than what was shown on the surface.
This person, was actually aiming for the seat under my buttocks?
However, he seemed to have completely lost hope of surpassing the current Hierarch in terms of martial arts cultivation base.
Instead, he considered the technical route, deep ploughing and careful cultivation.
To be honest, Chen Luoyang was actually quite interested in this.
He wanted to know in this martial arts world where individual strength was obviously attributed to a body's characteristics, if a person who was not proficient in martial arts, at least not a person who was the number one specialty, could reach the peak.
If he had to say, Nie Guangyuan's fall this time could be considered as directly falling because of the huge difference between his overall level and Black Pot's. He was beaten by an irresistible force.
However, if he knew Black Pot's secret and function, he would definitely be more careful in his actions.
With his cautiousness, it was a little strenuous for Black Pot to catch his little tail.
He followed Chen Luoyang to ascend to the position. It had only been three to four years since then.
If he was given a longer period of deep ploughing and careful cultivation, carefully weaving a net, would there be a great movement that could change the world in a snap of a finger?
Of course, with this kind of technical style of play, one must be careful of the other party directly flipping the table.
The obstacles in front of little Comrade Nie's great career, it was not just me, the Hierarch …
Chen Luoyang put away the random thoughts in his heart, he said calmly, "I admire your ambition, but no matter what you do, you have no chance at all."
Nie Guangyuan finally stopped struggling in vain, "That's right, I have underestimated you. You are different from idiots like Wang Fei and Su Ye."
He was pressed to the ground by Chen Luoyang's fist intent, he could not move. His head could only tilt to one side, half of his face was pressed to the ground.
The tilted face happened to be facing Wang Fei.
Wang Fei was infuriated, his eyes stared like copper bells. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but was blocked by the power of Chi You's appearance, he was forced to stop on the spot. He panted heavily, looked at Nie Guangyuan unwillingly, and wished that he could tear him into pieces.
Nie Guangyuan's face revealed a smile with difficulty, it was full of disdain, "Only idiots who can fight. No one helped to remind you, I will play you to death, and you are still busy thanking me."
"Senior brother, please hand him over to me!" Wang Fei's veins on his face were bulging, "I will make him regret being born!"
Chen Luoyang's gaze swept over, there was no joy nor anger.
Wang Fei was panting like a bull, he suppressed his anger with difficulty, he lowered his head and said, "It was a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, senior brother."
Su Ye gently tugged at her brother Su Wei's sleeve, "Brother, why did he scold me?"
Nie Guangyuan laughed and said, "All of you, continue to swallow your anger and grovel in front of others. Although I will die today, I will be free. I will truly spread my wings and fly high, returning to my true colors!"
Su Wei stared at him with a pair of panda eyes for a long time, then bowed to Chen Luoyang in the seat.
"Sect Master, this bastard refuses to repent even in death. Wouldn't killing him be letting him off too easily? Why don't we lock him up in the White Tiger Hall's prison and lock him up with the other prisoners?"
The others' faces twitched slightly.
Nie Guangyuan used to be the White Tiger Hall's first seat.
At present, every single prisoner in the White Tiger Hall's prison had suffered at his hands.
If this former first seat of the White Tiger Hall was thrown in, the result could be imagined. It was really a double torture of dignity and body waiting for him …
Wang Fei's anger turned to joy, he rubbed his palms together and pleaded to Chen Luoyang, "Senior brother, please let me send him to the White Tiger Hall. I promise to find the best people to take care of him and let him feel good every moment!"
He stared at Nie Guangyuan and grinned nastily.
When Chen Luoyang had thrown him to the White Tiger Hall for punishment, Nie Guangyuan had not been polite at all.
The Heavens have eyes! Today, I, Grandpa Fei, will have my revenge!
Nie Guangyuan did not pay attention to Wang Fei.
His vision was limited, and he could not see Su Wei on the other side.
After hearing Su Wei's words, he snorted, "Su Wei, people often say that you are a leopard born of a willow, but in my opinion, you are more like a snake."
"There is no need," Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "Those who collude with the enemy will be killed without mercy."
The person who spoke was Su Wei, not Nie Guangyuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, the long-handled greataxe flickering with dark golden light also fell together!
Before Nie Guangyuan could say anything, he had already been chopped in two!
Chi You's killing intent and evil qi instantly extinguished his vitality.
Just as Nie Guangyuan's voice came out of his mouth, it seemed to be cut in the middle by a pair of scissors. The remaining bit of sound trembled in the air.
"If I killed him, then I killed him."
Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "I am not interested in whether a dead man is happy or sad."
Su Wei cupped his hands. "The Hierarch is right. This subordinate's vision is still too low, and I am too attached to small grudges."
Zhang Tianheng waved his hand, and the few Devil religion followers under his command immediately stepped forward to clean up Nie Guangyuan's corpse and bloodstains.
"From today onwards, Tianheng will temporarily take over the position of White Tiger Hall's First Seat." Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "I will not hand over the position of Protector to Zhu Rong for now. Observe the progress of the war in the Central Plains and then make arrangements. The Dian Prefecture branch take care of its own affairs, and do not interfere with others."
Zhang Tianheng said loudly, "Thank you, Hierarch, for your great kindness. This subordinate cannot repay you even if I die ten thousand times!"
The other Devil religion followers present said in unison, "We solemnly obey the Hierarch's decree."
This so-called "temporary" position could be promoted at any time.
It wasn't that no one had objections, and it wasn't that no one had thoughts about the position of White Tiger Hall's First Seat.
But right now, Chen Luoyang's prestige was like the sun in the sky. Even Great Elder Xie Chong, who often sang a different tune, temporarily remained silent. The others were even less likely to come out and touch this bad luck.
The blood stains on Nie Guangyuan's corpse were still being cleaned up, and they were not done yet.
"As for the remaining vacant positions, the various First Seats and Stewards, submit a list of suitable candidates to fill in to me later," Chen Luoyang said calmly.
Su Wei, Zhang Tianheng, and the others immediately responded.
At this moment, the eyes of Chen Chuhua, who hadn't had much of a presence since the beginning of the conference, as if hidden in the crowd, suddenly flickered.
She stepped forward.
Chen Luoyang looked at her.
Chen Chuhua said softly, "Reporting to the Hierarch, we have just received news that Saber Emperor Yuwen Feng has appeared by the coast of Min Province."
Min Province was also a part of the Demon Domain. This time, the United Armies of the South had used the eastern route as a feint to invade Min Province. They fought fiercely with the followers of the Min Province branch of the Devil religion, attracting and suppressing the attention of the followers of the Devil religion in Min Province and Yuezhou.
However, after receiving the news of the battle at Nanyun Mountain, the other side had already ceased all banners and drums, turning around and withdrawing their troops. Meanwhile, the followers of the Devil religion had begun to switch from defense to offense.
The expressions of the people of the Devil religion in the hall all turned solemn.
Although Min Province wasn't the core of the Demon Domain, it was still one of the important areas of influence of the Devil religion.
It had only been two days since the Saber Emperor came out of seclusion.
His first destination was the Demon Domain's territory?
What did he want to do?
