When Gu Yu spoke, he did not hide it. After the people around him heard it, their expressions suddenly became solemn and there was silence.
Before Tao Xiaotong could speak, Han Lingxiao, who was standing next to him, said coldly: "Vice-Pope Gu, Liang Shenghuo, even the Pope has always respected the Pope, but what you said is a little inappropriate."
Gu Yu glanced at Han Lingxiao coldly, ignored him, with a look of resentment on his face, and said to Tao Xiaotong: "Sir, if Lian Ding dares to mess around, we will fight him, so why should we be afraid of him?"
Speaking of this, everyone's expressions became even more ugly.
There were more people in the square who heard this sentence.
It can be said that everyone in the entire Black Fire Sect knows that Lian Ding wants to be the Pope.
However, so far, this matter has never been brought to the table blatantly.
But now, it seems that they are about to break up.
For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely solemn. Both those who supported Tao Xiaotong and those who supported Lian Ding were alert in their hearts and prepared for battle.
"Vice-Pope Gu, don't get me wrong, even the Pope didn't do anything to me."
Tao Xiaotong spoke. She smiled at Gu Yu and Liang Ce, trying her best to hide her inner thoughts, but due to her poor acting skills, her smile looked like a bitter smile.
Seeing that Tao Xiaotong was hiding something, Gu Yu and Liang Ce were even more angry. They didn't know what Lian Ding had done to pressure Tao Xiaotong to this point.
Tao Xiaotong walked towards the statue of the devil and said: "Everyone is waiting, Vice Pope Gu, Liang Shenghuo, you all come with me, I have important matters to announce."
Gu Yu and Liang Ce frowned, followed Tao Xiaotong, and sent a message to Situ Hang to ask: "Situ Holy Fire Envoy, what's going on?"
Situ Hang looked solemn and said: "Lian Ding found an immortal helper from nowhere, and now he wants to force the Pope to give up his position. Seeing that the opponent is unstoppable, the Pope does not want the church members to suffer unnecessary casualties.
, so we decided to pass the position of pope to Lianding."
"What?"
After listening to Situ Hang's explanation, both Gu Yu and Liang Ce looked horrified.
They fully support Tao Xiaotong and are very satisfied with Tao Xiaotong's current reform of the Black Fire Sect.
After all, not all cultivators of the Black Fire Sect are murderers, and many of them are very happy to be able to correct their evil ways and return to the right path.
If Lian Ding becomes the pope, with Lian Ding's personality, the Black Fire Sect will not only return to its past, but will also become even more evil.
This situation is definitely not what Gu Yu, Liang Ce, and a large number of Black Fire Sect members want to see.
Gu Yu quickly followed and reached Tao Xiaotong's side, saying anxiously: "Pope, no, no matter what, the Black Fire Sect cannot fall into the hands of Lian Ding."
Because he was too anxious, Gu Yu almost shouted these words.
In an instant, all the members of the Black Fire Cult in the Demon God's Square turned their eyes towards this direction. After thinking for a moment, they figured out what was going on, and their faces were full of horror.
"What, Lian Ding actually wants to usurp the Pope's position, I will never follow him."
"I'm not convinced by Lian Ding."
"Even if the Vice-Pope wants to be the Pope, he must get the approval of the demon Suo Wenyan. Otherwise, the next time Suo Wenyan comes again, he will definitely be killed."
"The Black Fire Cult belongs to us. If you are so afraid of Suo Wenyan, you should quit the Black Fire Cult as soon as possible."
"I support the Vice-President to be the Pope. If any of you are dissatisfied, fight me."
…
For a time, the entire square was divided into two groups, and a fierce quarrel broke out.
Judging from the number of people, it is obvious that there are more people supporting Tao Xiaotong.
Regardless of whether it was the low-level, middle-level, or high-level, Tao Xiaotong had an absolute advantage. The only thing that was not as good as Lian Ding was the top Immortal Realm. The opponent had Ye Li.
"How dare you hit me!"
"How about beating you? If you betray the Pope and violate canon rules, I will beat you."
"I kill you."
"Let's see who kills whom."
The disputes in the square became more and more intense. These Black Fire Cult members were originally more fierce than the other, but finally some people couldn't help it and started to take action.
Seeing the surging demonic energy, everyone in the square was on alert and prepared to join the battle.
"Everyone, stop it. If anyone takes action now, they will be punished as traitors to the Holy Religion!"
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Tao Xiaotong rose into the air, looked down, and shouted.
Chen Yang wore a hood and looked up at Tao Xiaotong. He saw the little junior sister's black robes floating in the air, her demonic aura flowing freely, and her whole aura was very tyrannical. Even compared to immortal cultivators, she was not inferior in the slightest.
"Little junior sister...has grown up."
Chen Yang murmured to himself, lowered his head, and said to Jinggui: "Senior Jinggui, I may act in a play later. You cooperate with me in this way..."
Just as Chen Yang and Jinggui were explaining their strategies, the surging demonic energy in the square gradually dissipated, and those who were about to take action stopped.
Obviously, although Tao Xiaotong is not the highest level or the strongest in the Black Fire Sect, as the pope, she still has a high level of power and can shock the entire audience with just one word.
"Now, everyone please keep quiet. If anyone dares to speak rashly and disrupt the order of the Demon Dang Conference, he will be dealt with according to the canon rules."
Tao Xiaotong warned again, flew down and landed in front of the demon statue.
Lian Ding walked towards Tao Xiaotong, with a faint smile on his lips, he cupped his hands and said, "His Majesty the Pope is wise and righteous, and stopped their fight. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have caused a catastrophe, with countless casualties."
"Even the Pope, you don't need to say anything like this. As the Pope, I will naturally not do anything to harm the strength of the Black Fire Sect."
Tao Xiaotong glanced at Lian Ding, sighed secretly, looked up at the crowd, and said: "We have gathered everyone together today to announce a big event. I have decided to pass the position of pope to Vice-Pope Lian Ding.
Before the ceremony is officially held, there are a few conditions that I will put forward in public. If the Pope violates these conditions in the future, you can hold him accountable."
When word spread, Lian Ding's eyes flashed with satisfaction, this moment was finally coming.
The position of Pope finally belongs to me.
Lian Ding suppressed his excitement, cupped his hands to Tao Xiaotong, and said, "Pope, please speak."
"No……"
Gu Yu opened his mouth and saw Tao Xiaotong looking over and shaking his head slightly. After all, he did not continue, but lowered his head sadly, feeling helpless.
If it were the past, a war would begin.
However, Lian Ding has Ye Li, who is at the peak of immortality, to help him. If they really fight, they will only suffer heavy casualties in the end, but they will not be able to help Tao Xiaotong keep his position as Pope.
