Today, many things had happened that surprised Zheng Chi.
The experts of the Green Bull Temple had intervened, Chen Luoyang had mastered the Sky-Stealing Art, and so on.
But all of these combined were not as shocking as this moment.
The experienced Luori King was not just shocked at this moment, he was even more horrified.
Jiang Yi's conversation with him had been repeated word for word by Chen Luoyang.
Two people, but actually one person!
Who had replaced who?
Did Jiang Yi, whose voice was only heard but not seen, really exist?
He had actually been replaced by Chen Luoyang?
Then where was the real Jiang Yi now?
Although he had fought with Jiang Yi for a lifetime, Zheng Chi did not take pleasure in his misfortune at this moment. His first reaction was to feel a chill all over his body and his heart.
Zheng Chi had just opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, Chen Luoyang had already killed him with his palm.
Elder Zheng died with his eyes open, and his body fell to the side.
Chen Luoyang clapped his hands lightly, and controlled the sound to pass through the restriction of this room and to the outside world.
Soon, members of the Church of the Ancient God were ordered to come in.
Hierarch Jiang's voice came from the quiet room, "Zheng Chi's crime should be punished according to the rules of the Church. Considering that he had done meritorious service to the Church, let him be buried with an intact body."
"Yes, Hierarch." The members of the Church hurriedly responded and left with Zheng Chi's body.
Then Hierarch Jiang ordered the high-level experts of the Church who were still at the headquarters to come.
The door of the quiet room opened at this moment.
Everyone entered in a single file and saw Jiang Yi sitting calmly.
The group of people hurriedly bowed.
The Jiang Yi at this moment was naturally still an illusion.
However, Chen Luoyang had integrated the entire "Illusion" Heavenly Book into it.
With his current cultivation of the 17th level, the scene in front of him was enough to pass off as real.
Other than the two Grand Masters, Tang Yiming and Hong Biao, there were also four elders of the Church, all of whom were in the Martial Sage Realm.
However, the one with the highest cultivation level was the same as Chen Luoyang at the 17th level.
Without a major accident, it was impossible to see through the illusion of the "Illusion" Heavenly Book.
Apart from one or two people who were in closed-door cultivation, the rest of the sect's higher level experts were outside the main altar. Lian Buyi, Peng Feng, Du Qiming, and the others all had errands to attend to.
"No need for formalities," the phantom Jiang Yi said calmly.
Everyone stood up and split into two sides.
"Jing Fei colluded with the enemy. I am very sad. Since I have been executed, I will not say anything more."
In front of the crowd, "Jiang Yi" Slowly said, "The position of the White Tiger Hall's First Seat has been vacant for a long time, which hinders the Divine Sect's teaching affairs. However, the position is important and cannot be neglected.
For the time being, Old Du will be in charge of supervising and leading the troops. He will also be in charge of the investigation to see if there are still people who colluded with the enemy. "
Tang Yiming, Hong Biao, and the others responded in unison.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
As Jiang Yi's personal disciple, Hou Jingfei had died at the hands of Chen Luoyang.
The current Chen Luoyang naturally did not view Hou Jingfei as a threatening opponent.
The person who should be his equal should be Jiang Yi, who was in the silent room.
If one had to say that something fishy was going on, it could also be that Chen Luoyang had gotten rid of dissidents and the current Hierarch's henchmen.
The White Tiger Hall was responsible for discipline and a portion of internal security, as well as supervision of the sect.
Now that the position of First Seat had been vacant, the successor was truly sensitive.
Chen Luoyang had been in the mortal world for too short a time, not enough for him to cultivate trusted aides.
The person closest to him was Xie Buxiu of the Fifteenth Realm.
Not to mention whether or not he was competent enough to be the White Tiger Hall's First Seat, just his cultivation, which had yet to reach the Martial Saint realm, was destined to be impossible for him to take over this position.
However, if Jiang Yi had temporarily placed the White Tiger Hall under Chen Luoyang's command like the Demonic God Palace, then there would be no problem.
It was fine if Chen Luoyang did not have the time himself. He could just place his trusted aides in the position of White Tiger One or White Tiger Two.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi had not made such arrangements.
This made the others breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Jiang Yi trusted Chen Luoyang and had condoned many of his transgressions. However, from the looks of it now, this condoning was not completely without a bottom line.
Now that Zheng Chi was dead, would there be any changes in Hierarch Jiang's appointment of Deputy Hierarch Chen?
If it was said that Deputy Hierarch Chen had previously checked and balanced and even dealt with Elder Zheng …
Then he should also arrange for someone to check and balance this Deputy Hierarch Chen …
At this moment, everyone's imagination ran wild.
As for Elder Du Qiming temporarily managing the White Tiger Hall, it was not so surprising.
Within the Ancient God, among the four Great Elders with a cultivation of the Eighteenth Realm, who were at the peak of the Martial Saint realm, Zheng Chi could be disregarded, but the other three were loyal to Jiang Yi.
However, there were also some differences among them.
In the competition for the successor to the Hierarch, Elder Peng Feng was the Master of the current Basaltic Temple's First Seat, Tang Yiming.
Elder He, who was currently in seclusion, was the Master of the former Rosefinch Hall's First Seat.
Only Elder Du Qiming was not involved.
At present, Elder Du Qiming was undoubtedly more suitable than Elder Peng Feng to clean up the White Tiger Hall under Hou Jingfei's rule.
Because of the suppression of Zheng Chi's rebellion, the White Tiger Hall, which also had the responsibility of internal defense, was currently outside. Under Elder Du's rule, they were hunting down the remnants of Zheng Chi's faction.
"Although Zheng Chi's rebellion was quickly suppressed, it was still somewhat of a blow to our vitality." In the quiet room, "Jiang Yi" continued, "It's time to add some new blood. Luo Yang will be in charge of the selection of the Demonic God Palace, and the Basaltic Temple will cooperate with all the needs."
Tang Yiming's heart sank.
The others also sighed in their hearts.
Looking at this situation, the relationship between Hierarch Jiang and Deputy Hierarch Chen had not deteriorated.
In a situation where Deputy Hierarch Chen was restricted in certain aspects, they had to make up for it in other aspects.
Chen Luoyang had suppressed Zheng Chi's rebellion, which was a great merit, and he should be rewarded.
But now, even if he could not be said to be above tens of thousands of people, he was almost there.
Although it was not to the point where he could not be rewarded, shouldn't there be some room for him to continue to rise in the future?
Since Chen Luoyang would not be rewarded, nor would he be willing to hand over the White Tiger Hall to him, then he would reward his subordinates.
Presiding over the selection of the Demonic God Palace and adding new blood.
This meant the Ancient God's most top-notch inheritance, as well as the supply of the best resources.
In particular, it was rumored that the Seven Great Secret Treasures for cultivating the Demonic God Blood were gradually being gathered again.
This meant that the Demonic God Blood, the sect's most treasured divine art, might have a new successor.
Chen Luoyang could use it to buy people's hearts in the sect and trade favors, or he could directly bring people up from his own Divine Land.
Saying that he had a weak foundation and few trusted followers, he immediately had the conditions and opportunity to support him.
If this went on, Chen Luoyang would really be unable to escape …
Could it be that Hierarch Jiang really had the intention of letting Chen Luoyang take over the position?
Wasn't he worried that Chen Luoyang would forcibly kick him out before he was willing to give up the position?
Everyone present was nervous.
Chen Luoyang's expression was calm as he replied, "I understand."
"… I will follow the Hierarch's order." Tang Yiming sighed secretly and also replied respectfully.
At this time, the others looked at Chen Luoyang again and began to have new ideas in their minds.
Chen Luoyang, who held the power of selection, was now very popular.
"Next, our sect will focus on recuperating. For the time being, we will not get involved in the chaos of the Western Qin. As for the Sea of Bitterness, Luoyang will deal with it." Hierarch Jiang continued, "As for the Wilderness, we must always be vigilant. For the time being, Junior Brother Bu Yi and Junior Brother Peng will be in charge. After Elder Du has cleaned up the remnants of Zheng Chi's clique, lead the White Tiger Hall back to the headquarters as soon as possible."
Everyone immediately responded and then retreated.
There was still some relief in everyone's heart.
Before the pursuit of Zheng Chi, Chen Luoyang had sole authority outside.
Now that he had returned to the headquarters, a lot of power naturally returned to Hierarch Jiang Yi.
In a situation where Jiang Yi was not in seclusion, if Chen Luoyang acted too recklessly, then he could report it to Jiang Yi.
Thinking of this, everyone was in a much better mood …
Chen Luoyang came out with everyone, his expression calm, and went to the Demon God Palace.
When they arrived at the Demon God Palace, the young disciples of the palace, as long as they were not in seclusion, were all gathered together at this moment, waiting for Chen Luoyang's return.
The news that Chen Luoyang had reached the seventeenth realm and had captured Zheng Chi had also spread here.
Compared to when Chen Luoyang had just taken over the Demon God Palace, the atmosphere in the palace at present was completely different.
A twenty-year-old seventeenth realm cultivator was even younger than Lian Buyi.
Such an existence was already at the level of the Red Dust Ten Heroes, symbolizing the most outstanding figures of the younger generation of the Red Dust World.
If that was all, there might still be arrogant and unruly people who thought that they might be able to challenge him in the future.
Most martial artists were not convinced of others, and those who could reach a high position did not lack confidence that bordered on unreasonable.
When Lian Buyi was in the palace, although everyone was convinced of her current strength, they did not think that their future achievements would be lower than hers.
But facing Chen Luoyang in front of them, everyone was a little short of heroic spirit.
To jump from the fourteenth realm to the seventeenth realm three times in a few months was really too shocking.
So much so that most people felt that Chen Luoyang would not be included in the Red Dust Ten Heroes.
To put it in an exaggerated way, it was not that he was not worthy, but the honor of the Red Dust Ten Heroes was not worthy of him.
God knows how fast he would improve in the future.
Even if he did not jump three times in a row like now, even if he was a little slower than now, his speed would still be extremely exaggerated.
Just like the Empress of the East Zhou.
To this day, if she was placed in the Red Dust Ten Heroes, according to age, she would be ranked backward.
And as early as many years ago, no one regarded her as a junior.
The current Chen Luoyang's momentum of rise was shocking, and it was the same situation.
When Chen Luoyang stepped into the main hall of the Demon God Palace, everyone in the hall bowed to Chen Luoyang.
"Greetings, Hierarch Chen."
"At ease." Hierarch Chen nodded slightly, then sat in the middle.
The people in the Demon God Palace stood up after bowing, their eyes looking directly below them, not daring to look directly at Chen Luoyang's face.
Chen Luoyang's gaze swept around, then fell on a person. "How are your injuries?"
It was a woman, who raised her head and bowed to Chen Luoyang, then answered, "Reporting to the Hierarch, although I have not fully recovered, it is no longer a serious problem."
It was Ning Jiuwei, who had been ordered to go to the capital of Southern Chu to assassinate him.
"You completed the last task well, consider it as atoning for your crimes." Chen Luoyang said, "I have another task for you. If you do well, there will be a reward, and if you fail, there will be a punishment."
Ning Jiuwei bowed and said, "Please instruct me, Hierarch."
