Gallo is thinking about how to deal with the Morning Star Sect, and the other party's senior officials are not idle either and are having a tense meeting to discuss the matter.
More than ten senior leaders of the Morning Star Sect were sitting in a conference room, which was located in an extremely luxurious church. Its area and hardware facilities were second only to the three major orthodox churches, making it the fourth largest church in the city.
This place originally belonged to the Illuminati Sect, but like the Wisdom Sect, they suffered heavy casualties in the evil god's invasion. The Morning Star Sect took advantage of the situation and took over this place, and established it as the central cathedral in the City of Innocence.
This conference room has been renovated, and the walls are covered with artistic paintings of the night sky and stars. Sitting in it feels like being in a sea of stars, making people unable to help but feel the vastness and boundlessness of the starry sky.
But the people sitting inside were indeed ashen-faced and silent. They formed a circle, and in the middle lay the cold body of the assassinated officiant.
The body was intact, and there was no trace of any injuries on the body, but the person died suddenly and suddenly. The death was so strange that it was really puzzling.
In addition, the assassin's origin, purpose, and the mastermind behind it are even more difficult to figure out.
There is also the guard captain who has not returned yet... He is a second-level divine envoy. Why did he disappear inexplicably?
A series of troublesome issues made the atmosphere in the conference room very solemn, and no one vented their anger loudly, let alone spoke.
After a long period of silence, a man with a heavy back, a hooked nose, and a shiny bald head spoke:
"You self-proclaimed experts, strong men, and smart people, why are you silent? Aren't you usually eloquent?"
His voice was originally low and calm, but the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he shouted angrily with a loud voice:
"How come you can't even figure out the cause of death of Chief Priest Column?"
As he became angry, black lines appeared on his face, bald head, and exposed arms. They looked like tattoos, but they also seemed to be moving and entangled.
Twisting, as if trying to form some pattern.
When the people nearby saw this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they quickly shouted:
"No, Senator Wade is having a seizure. Bring a woman in quickly!"
The priests who had been waiting outside the conference room quickly brought in a beautiful young female believer wearing the same black sect style.
With a fanatical light on her face, the female cultist knelt willingly in front of the bald head and tried her best to serve him.
The bald head took a deep breath, his mood temporarily calmed down, and the black lines on his body gradually faded.
"Hmph~ Compared to the witch, it still tastes a bit worse after all..."
He glanced at the female cultist who was struggling to swallow with some disgust, then continued as if nothing had happened:
"Priest Column is my mentor, friend, and the person who introduced me to Christianity...Although I relied on the favor of the stars and luckily entered the Council of Elders, I will always regard him as my elder..."
"I know him very well. With his strength and caution, he will never die in the hands of some witch. Those little bitches have no ability to murder a chief priest in public..."
"Stop making excuses for your incompetence!"
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the female cultist's head hard.
Next to him, a man with squinting eyes who was equally strong but wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an intellectual began to persuade:
"Wade, you thought that when you came to the City of Innocence, you should learn to be calm and restrained, but you didn't expect that you would still need this method?"
"I've always been calm, it's just that the Star God's blood in my body is boiling."
The bald man said with disdain, his body trembled suddenly, and the black lines on his body finally disappeared completely.
"Go to my room and wait for me."
The bald man patted the female cultist on the head with satisfaction, asked her to step back, and continued with a melancholy expression:
"Perhaps the plan went too smoothly and we were a little negligent, which is why we lost our beloved Priest Column..."
"I understand how you feel, Wade, but this is not the time to be sentimental. We still have many things to consider..."
With narrowed eyes, he could call the bald head directly by his name, and his tone was not polite at all, which showed that his position was on the same level as the bald head, and he was also a member of the powerful class of the Morning Star Sect, the Elder Council.
The two of them are the top leaders of the sect in the City of Innocence, and they are also the most powerful third-level envoys in the sect, with strength comparable to that of a demigod.
However, they do not have the suffocating substantive coercion of the powerful demigods. They do not even have much power fluctuations, and they have no specific rank. This is how they were able to hide from everyone's sight and enter the City of Innocence.
Two elders with semi-god-level combat power successfully entered the City of Innocence without attracting the attention of the Orthodox Church. This is the advantage of the Morning Star Sect and one of their trump cards.
The plan went quite smoothly. The Orthodox Church was just as they expected. They were slow, stupid, and arrogant. They did not offer any effective resistance. They could not even repair their life-saving trump card, the Wall of Sighs, which made people laugh.
But the untimely death of an important chief priest gave them a blow, reminding them that the enemies they had to face might not be just the Orthodox Church?
At this time, an old man dressed as the officiant next to him suddenly said:
"This...could it be done by that 'mystery'?"
"I can think of an organization that has the ability to do this kind of thing, and its methods are weird and unknown."
Bald Wade glanced at him funny and asked:
"You actually believe what that madman says? Do you really think there is some unknown mysterious sect in this world, and it also holds shocking mysterious power in its hands?"
"But he is an important ally of ours, isn't he?"
The officiant retorted quietly.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so naive despite your age?"
"How can there be any allies in this world? All we can rely on are ourselves and the blessing of the Morning Star!"
"What's more, this is a guy who betrayed his mentor. I won't believe anything he says."
The man with narrowed eyes on the side also shook his head after thinking carefully, and said in a relatively gentle tone:
"On this point, I agree with Wade. Such a sect should not exist in this world because it goes against logic and common sense."
"You have great power, but you are willing to remain anonymous? Don't use power to satisfy your own desires and needs?"
"How can such a person exist in this world? Are they madmen and fools?"
"What's more, even the traitor is not sure whether this sect still exists, and even if they do exist, as long as our plan can go smoothly, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
When the chief priest heard the two senior senators saying this, he naturally did not dare to say anything more and lowered his head in shame.
However, his ridiculous statement also opened up other people's minds, and they all expressed their own ideas and started discussing.
"Could he be a high-level assassin from a certain assassin organization?"
"High-level assassins never assassinate. Don't you even know this common sense? In my opinion, the biggest murderers are the orthodox religions. They still have some powerful magic in their hands."
"But no trace of magical fluctuations was found at the scene... I still stick to my point of view. This should be a poisoning case. Those little bitches are very good at concocting poison..."
Everyone's opinions were various, but none of them were meaningful. The elder with narrow eyes frowned when he heard it. Finally he couldn't help it and shouted angrily:
"enough!"
Black lines appeared on his face, scaring everyone into silence.
But he was probably better than a bald man. He didn't need a woman's help, and those lines melted away on their own and returned to normal.
"These issues can be investigated later. The important thing is what should we do next?"
The other officiants and guard captains present suggested:
"First send people to retrieve Captain Bruce. Every divine envoy is an important fighting force of the sect."
"Captain Bruce is a second-level divine envoy with extraordinary strength. He has no opponents below the legendary level. There is no one in this city who can threaten him. The worst case scenario is that he is trapped by the enemy or is lured away by the assassin.
Far away?"
"He may be enjoying himself in the bed of some noble lady right now. With Captain Bruce's charm, what woman can't be easily captured?"
"I also believe in Captain Bruce's strength. Compared with his whereabouts, I feel that now is an opportunity to take action..."
"Since Orthodoxy is our biggest enemy, and we have also lost a beloved priest, then there is every reason to make the enemy pay the same price..."
"For example... let a bishop of Shenguang Religion disappear?"
As soon as he heard someone mention this, the bald man suddenly became excited and said quickly:
"Yes, I like this idea!"
He has long heard that the Shenguang Sect has a young and beautiful girl bishop, who not only has the title of a genius magical girl, but also has a charm that is no less than that of a witch.
You can definitely take advantage of the untimely death of the chief priest and take the opportunity to launch an attack and capture the young bishop and enjoy her...
The squinting eyes on the side probably guessed what his companion was thinking, and he quickly advised:
"I heard that the bishop is the jewel in the eye of the Shenguang Sect. If we attack her, it is likely to trigger a conflict in advance, and we are not fully prepared yet..."
"Hmph~ Are you still afraid of the Orthodox Church's fighting power? In front of the power of the stars, they are as ridiculous as insects."
The bald man said disdainfully.
"No, I'm just worried about that possible angel..."
He explained with narrowed eyes.
"That angel must not appear at will, otherwise the orthodox religion would have called him out long ago. This must require complicated preparations..."
