The main hall was silent for a moment.
Outside the hall, Chen Luoyang looked at the Basaltic Temple's Chief Tang Yiming and nodded. "Come in and sit down, let's talk slowly."
Tang Yiming listened to Chen Luoyang's tone as the master of this place and felt quite strange for a moment.
Even when Lian Buyi was still there, there was no real clear leader in the Demonic God Palace.
If there was one, it would be the head Hierarch Jiang Yi herself. But as the head of a sect, naturally no one would regard Jiang Yi as the Palace Master of the Demonic God Palace.
Today, when he came to the Demonic God Palace, he suddenly met Chen Luoyang, which made Tang Yiming a little uncomfortable for a moment.
But he quickly calmed down and bowed to Chen Luoyang. "I'm visiting an old friend. I'm not in the palace at the moment, so there's nothing special. I won't disturb Deputy Hierarch Chen any longer. Please allow me to take my leave."
Chen Luoyang nodded. "I won't see you out."
Tang Yiming turned and left. Chen Luoyang watched the other's disappearing figure with a playful expression.
Speaking of which, the person in front of him was also an exception.
The internal structure created by the Ancient God of the Divine Land and continued to this day was modeled by the "Nine-armed Devil" Fei Chen based on the Red Dust Headquarters.
Therefore, the two sides were roughly similar in many aspects.
For example, because of its special function, the Basaltic Temple did not have as strict requirements for the martial arts cultivation of most of the high-level members of the temple as compared to the other three temples.
In theory, in addition to the need for a powerful figure to oversee everything, the rest valued the ability of internal affairs more.
And this powerful figure did not necessarily have to be the Basaltic Temple's Chief Monk.
No one asked the God of Fortune to be able to fight well.
The key was that the Basaltic Temple itself had to be able to do its job well.
There were specializations in the field, and everyone had their own strengths. Being a martial arts genius did not mean that one was also outstanding in other aspects.
Su Wei, the first seat of the Basaltic Temple, a branch of the Ancient God in the Divine Land, was the best example.
Among the Black Tortoise First Seats in the Divine Land, Su Wei could be considered as one of the few with relatively high attainments in martial arts.
However, Tang Yiming from the Mortal World was clearly different.
Nothing was too strange in this world, and there were always exceptions.
Tang Yiming was the biggest exception.
As the first seat of the Basaltic Temple of the Ancient God of the Mortal World, he managed everything in good order, and his own cultivation and strength did not fall behind at all.
Although he was not very old, he was already a sixteenth stage Martial Sage, no weaker than the First Seats of the other three palaces.
In terms of cultivation, among the younger generation of the Ancient God, he was probably only inferior to Lian Buyi.
In the entire history of the Ancient God of the Mortal World, there were only a handful of First Seats of the Basaltic Temple with such a high cultivation base.
Martial artists of the same realm, in actual combat, of course, there would also be differences in strength.
However, from a certain point of view, Tang Yiming, who could be said to be "well-versed in both the pen and the sword," undoubtedly had a huge advantage for him in the future competition for the position of the next Hierarch.
Like the Ancient God of the Mortal World, the head of a Demonic Path Holy Land, if his strength was not enough, it was absolutely impossible.
However, in many cases, only having expertise in martial arts was obviously easy to cause problems.
If one made a huge mistake in a decision, it would not only be oneself who would suffer.
It was worth mentioning that the current Hierarch of the Main Church, Jiang Yi, had also once held the position of the first seat of the Basaltic Temple.
However, Tang Yiming was not Jiang Yi's personal disciple, which added a lot of suspense to Tang Yiming's competition for the position of Hierarch's successor.
Chen Luoyang watched Tang Yiming disappear, smiled slightly, and walked into the hall.
Then he saw a man and a woman in the hall.
The woman was expressionless, and her gaze did not avoid Chen Luoyang, who walked in through the door.
Her gaze was firm and unyielding, revealing a bit of unscrupulous feeling.
However, her gaze was a bit erratic, and she seemed to be surprised and uncertain.
The man, on the other hand, was full of smiles, and greeted Chen Luoyang with a smile, "Subordinate Xie Buxiu greets Hierarch Chen."
Chen Luoyang nodded nonchalantly, and then looked at the woman.
The woman took a deep breath, and also bowed to Chen Luoyang, "Demonic God Palace, Ning Jiuwei greets Deputy Hierarch Chen."
"Subordinate congratulates Hierarch Chen for transcending the mortal world and entering the Divine Realm.
The young man called Xie Buxiu put on a smile and said carefully.
Hearing this, the woman beside him also held her breath.
Both of them were direct descendants of the Ancient God of the Fifteenth Realm, and their strength was strong. Even in the entire Mortal World, they were the top existences of the same realm, and it was not difficult for them to compete with the direct descendants of other Holy Lands.
However, just now, they did not notice Chen Luoyang's existence at all.
If it was a martial artist of the same realm, even if the other party was good at hiding, it would be difficult for him to hide from their eyes and ears.
Just now, they were talking about someone behind their back. Ning Jiuwei was fine, but Xie Buxiu, who was cautious, was constantly paying attention to the movements outside, and did not make the slightest mistake.
However, if it wasn't for Tang Yiming, the two of them would not have noticed that Chen Luoyang had already arrived outside the hall.
If it was only Chen Luoyang, it would not have been a big deal, but now that they saw Tu Shanyi come in with Chen Luoyang, Xie Buxiu and Ning Jiuwei's hearts sank.
They were very familiar with Tu Shanyi, and his cultivation was lower than theirs. Logically speaking, even if he could not detect Chen Luoyang, he should be able to detect Tu Shanyi, right?
Judging from the current situation, Chen Luoyang had also covered up Tu Shanyi's presence.
Such extravagance was not something a Martial Emperor could possess.
Ning Jiuwei was shocked and doubtful. His only hope was that Chen Luoyang had used some kind of treasure to cover his and Tu Shanyi's tracks.
Xie Buxiu thought a little more.
Tang Yiming, the Chief of the Basaltic Temple, had acted a little strangely just now.
He was also familiar with Tang Yiming and guessed that he had come to the Demon God Palace to ask for their help.
Although the Demon God Palace was under the direct command of the Hierarch Jiang Yi, such things were not forbidden. It mainly depended on the willingness of the person involved.
In the end, after Tang Yiming had met Chen Luoyang, he turned around and left.
Based on Xie Buxiu's understanding of Tang Yiming, he was not necessarily afraid of Chen Luoyang. However, it was obvious that he did not have enough confidence to face Chen Luoyang and did not have any psychological advantage.
Most likely, something unexpected had happened to Chen Luoyang, which made Tang Yiming retreat cautiously. Slowly, Tang Yiming planned to deal with Chen Luoyang slowly.
From the looks of it, it seemed that what had happened was about to be revealed …
Thinking that it was better to be safe than sorry, Xie Buxiu tried to compliment him.
When Chen Luoyang heard Xie Buxiu congratulating him for transcending mortality and entering the Divine Realm, he first nodded and then shook his head.
"It's only six hundred years now. It's still a long way to go."
Xie Buxiu was shocked.
As a direct descendant of the Ancient God, how could he not know that six hundred and sixty years was the lifespan of a Martial Sage in the sixteenth realm?
The point was not six hundred years or a long time.
It was that the young man in front of him had actually stepped into the Martial Sage Realm.
Although he had already guessed it, it was still difficult for him to calm down after it was confirmed.
However, his expression did not change, and he did not slow down at all. He smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's not far, not far. A long time is within your reach."
Ning Jiuwei, who was standing to the side, felt her vision go dark.
She was not afraid of a Martial Sage.
As a direct descendant of a sacred ground, she often dealt with Martial Sages.
But at this moment, when she recalled the conversation she had with Xie Buxiu, she felt her face burning.
There used to be two Martial Sages in the Palace of Gods and Demons.
When Chen Luoyang, who was in the realm of Emperor Wu, took charge of the Palace of Gods and Demons, many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself and see how he could subdue the Martial Sages in the palace.
Relying on the prestige of the Hierarch Jiang Yi of the headquarters was not a real skill.
If he always relied on the prestige of a tiger, his position as the unprecedented Deputy Hierarch would gradually become a joke.
Rosefinch Hall happened to be vacant, and one of the two Martial Sages in the Palace of Gods and Demons would most likely have to fill the position.
Even so, there was still one.
But with the unexpected death of Lin Yan, the Chief of the Blue Dragon Hall in the war against the Western Qin, the situation immediately changed.
Now, there was no need to worry about whether Lian Buyi was suitable to be the Chief of the Rosefinch Hall.
She and Hong Biao, another Martial Sage in the Palace of Gods and Demons, just filled the two positions.
In the Palace of Gods and Demons, the two big stones that had been pressing on Chen Luoyang's head were suddenly removed.
He had a conflict with Lin Yan, and now he benefited from Lin Yan's death.
Maybe he did not have the ability to kill Lin Yan, but it was hard to say whether it was related to him or not.
When the news reached the headquarters, there were more than one or two people who had this idea.
But at this moment, Ning Jiuwei looked at Chen Luoyang and could only smile bitterly.
In their eyes, the two big stones of the Martial Sage that were pressing on Chen Luoyang's head were really big stones for Chen Luoyang. Could they really suppress him?
The natural chasm between Emperor Wu and the Martial Sage had been crossed by him in one step!
With such a Chen Luoyang, would it be necessary to kill Lin Yan?
As a Martial Sage in the Sixteenth Realm, would Hong Biao be an obstacle to him taking control of the Palace of Gods and Demons?
Even if Lian Buyi, who was one of the Ten Heroes of the Red Dust, stayed in the Palace of Gods and Demons, could he really suppress him?
Before today, Ning Jiuwei would have firmly believed that he could.
But now, she was really uncertain.
She was not completely ignorant of Chen Luoyang. She had long heard of him from Tu Shanyi.
At the age of sixteen, he had reached the Realm of Emperor Wu.
At the age of eighteen, he had reached the Realm of the Fourteenth Realm.
At the age of twenty, a few months ago, he had reached the Realm of the Fifteenth Realm.
If it was only this, although he was amazing, it was still within the scope of the Mortal World's understanding of the top Holy Lands.
But a Martial Sage at the age of twenty …
Ning Jiuwei sucked in a breath of cold air. This was already slightly faster than Lian Buyi.
Yes, this person had previously obtained a page of the Heavenly Book in the Divine Land. Was it related?
But even so, it was really shocking.
Compared to Xie Buxiu, who was full of smiles and did not mention anything about what had just happened, Ning Jiuwei Slowly exhaled at this moment, bowed deeply to Chen Luoyang, and said straightforwardly, "This subordinate made presumptuous remarks behind his back and was disrespectful to the Vice Hierarch. I sincerely ask the Vice Hierarch to forgive me."
"The people of my Palace of Gods and Demons do not need to go to the White Tiger Hall. But meritorious deeds will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished. It is the same principle everywhere." Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "In troubled times, there is a task that is somewhat difficult. I will leave it to you. If you do well, I will let bygones be bygones. If you fail, there is no need for you to come back."
Ning Jiuwei was very calm, "Please instruct me, Vice Hierarch."
"Assassinate a target." Chen Luoyang said, "The eldest son of the Southern Chu Emperor, Cheng Longyuan."
