Tao Xiaotong looked up at the door and saw Lian Ding, Han Lingxiao, Gu Xie and others walking in.
In addition, there was another person walking side by side with Lian Ding, but Tao Xiaotong had never seen him before.
She couldn't tell the other party's state, but judging from the other party's aura, it was Lian Ding, a little stronger.
Over the years in the Black Fire Sect, Tao Xiaotong has gone through a lot of hardships. She tried her best to stay calm, looked at Lian Ding, and said in a deep voice: "Pope Lian, why did you bring so many people here?"
Han Lingxiao stood up and shouted coldly: "Tao Xiaotong, stop pretending to be stupid. Don't you still understand the situation?"
"Bold Han Lingxiao, how dare you call the Pope by his name!"
Situ Hang stood up, pointed at Han Lingxiao, and shouted angrily.
Just as Han Lingxiao was about to retort, Lian Ding raised his hand and said, "Han Shenghuo, the Pope has not given up his throne, so of course you can't call him by his first name. Do you understand?"
"Haha, that's right." Han Lingxiao said to Tao Xiaotong with a sarcastic look on his face: "Sir Pope, you may not be the Pope for long, so you'd better enjoy your last time."
Seeing the other party's smug look, Situ Hang became furious, pointed at Lian Ding and others, and said in a deep voice: "What on earth do you want to do? Are you committing the crime below?"
"Situ Holy Fire Envoy, please don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
Lian Ding glared at Situ Hang fiercely, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
For him, Situ Hang and Tao Xiaotong are even more troublesome. They are on his must-kill list. As long as he wins the position of pope, he will find a way to get rid of Situ Hang.
Situ Hang looked ugly and looked past the people blocking the door. He was wondering why there was such a big commotion right now. The other deputy pope Gu Yu and the Holy Fire Messenger Liang Ce had not shown up yet.
Seeing Situ Hang's demeanor, Han Lingxiao sneered: "Situ Holy Fire Envoy, are you waiting for Vice Pope Gu and Liang Shenghuo?"
Situ Hang's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Han Lingxiao: "Did you kill Vice Pope Gu and Liang Shenghuo?"
Lian Ding said: "I have been friends with them for thousands of years, how could I kill them? I just asked people to block the news. I also stopped those who wanted to sneak in and report the news along the way.
.So, Vice Pope Gu and Liang Shenghuo probably don’t know what happened here.”
The strong men of the Black Fire Sect are the power of the Black Fire Sect. If Lian Ding wants to be the Pope, he naturally does not want to weaken the power of the Black Fire Sect.
That's why he adopted a gradual cannibalization strategy before, because he didn't want to kill too many people.
Situ Hang's face turned even darker and he said, "So, now it's just me and the Pope, facing off against hundreds of you?"
"Situ Holy Fire Envoy, your words are a bit unpleasant to hear."
Lian Ding shook his head and said: "I brought you all here to pay my respects to the Pope. After all, the Pope has led the Black Fire Sect for several years, and he has worked hard despite no credit. We are still very grateful to him."
Situ Hang said angrily: "Lian Ding, if you have anything to say, just speak up and don't beat around the bush."
"Situ Hang, please pay attention to your attitude, you are talking to the future Pope!"
A deputy hall master in the Condensation stage standing behind Lian Ding took the opportunity to flatter Lian Ding and yelled at Situ Hang.
"We are here for peaceful negotiations, please don't get angry."
Lian Ding turned around and glared at the person who spoke, with a smile on his face, obviously he was very pleased with the flattery just now.
What else was Situ Hang thinking about? Tao Xiaotong held him back, stood up, and said to Lian Ding: "Vice-Pope Lian, you have been coveting the position of Pope for a long time. This is a well-known thing. Since you came to force the throne today, then you also
Don't wait, just kill me. However, I hope you can release Situ's Holy Fire to create a way out."
"Killing you is not an option."
Lian Ding shook his head and said: "If I could kill you, I would have killed you long ago. But now the people of the Black Fire Cult are thinking about it. Everyone is bewitched by you, with you as the leader. If I kill you, I will become the target of public criticism.
, even if you have the position of Pope, you can’t control the Black Fire Sect, so what’s the point.”
This was also the reason why Lian Ding did not take action after he came in.
Tao Xiaotong frowned and said, "Then what do you want?"
Lian Ding said: "It's very simple. You convene a Demon Dang Conference, gather all the members of the Black Fire Cult in the Holy Mountain, and announce that you will pass on the position of Pope to me. In this way, my name is justified, and those people will naturally listen to my orders.
.”
"no."
Before Tao Xiaotong could agree, Situ Hang immediately objected.
Lian Ding glared angrily: "Situ Hang, my patience is limited. If you speak one more word, I guarantee you will turn into a corpse."
Situ Hang was not afraid and shouted: "Lian Ding, you..."
"Situ Holy Fire Envoy, please step back."
Tao Xiaotong said, stopping Situ Hang.
Situ Hang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Sir Pope, it was not easy for you to make the Black Fire Sect change. Now everyone likes this change. Moreover, the way everyone practices magic has become correct. Although after further progress
The steps are a little slow, but there is no need to be murderous and bloodthirsty. If Lian Ding becomes the Pope, then all this will be in vain."
"I know how to do it."
Tao Xiaotong looked calm, showing his mature side.
She looked at Lian Ding and said, "I can pass the throne to you, but you must agree to two conditions."
"What?" Lian Ding asked.
Tao Xiaotong said: "First, after I changed the Black Fire Sect's canon and doctrine, there must not be any changes. Moreover, the agreement between us must be added to the canon when the throne is passed on;"
"Second, after passing the throne, you are not allowed to settle grievances with anyone or harm anyone;"
After hearing Tao Xiaotong's conditions, Lian Ding nodded without hesitation: "Very good, I agree."
Tao Xiaotong looked helpless and muttered: "In that case, then you summon all the members of Mo Dang Holy Mountain to gather at the Demon God Square, and I will announce the succession."
"Han Lingxiao, Gu Xie, you are here to serve the Pope."
Lian Ding Chunfeng was proud, gave an order, and then walked out of the hall with Ye Li.
Han Lingxiao and Gu Xie led half of the people and still blocked the entrance of the hall, not giving Tao Xiaotong and Situ Hang a chance to leave.
Ye Li's voice came from outside the door: "I thought that there would be strong resistance from the other side and a war would break out. But I didn't expect that it would go so smoothly."
Lian Ding said: "It's indeed a bit unexpected, but we still can't take it lightly. If they make trouble during the party, Liang Ce and Gu Yu will be there, which will eventually be trouble."
Ye Li said: "As long as I'm here, they won't have anything to worry about."
Lian Ding said: "I am not afraid of fighting, but I am worried that there will be too many casualties, which will damage the strength of the Black Fire Sect. If it were not for this, I would have assassinated Tao Xiaotong."
Lian Ding passed these words into the room without any concealment.
"This Lian Ding is really abominable."
Situ Hang cursed angrily and smashed the table with his palm.
However, facing the general trend, he felt powerless.
