When Qian Zhan returned to Taiyu Secret Realm to resume his life, the main hall master secretly summoned five hall masters late at night to discuss in the secret room.
The master of the main hall mentioned what happened to the Shangqing Temple and the Kongming Temple. After accepting foreign god emperors of unknown origins, accidents happened one after another.
In particular, the Shangqing Temple hurriedly explored the Sea of Chaos, resulting in heavy casualties and severe loss of vitality.
At that time, several hall masters were a little worried about whether there would be any problems if the Taiyu Temple accepted Dao Xingyun, a foreign god emperor of unknown origin.
The main hall master suppressed everyone's objections, appeased several hall masters, and proposed a plan to take action twenty years later.
Everyone thought that with the careful planning of the main hall master, there should be no problems.
But no one expected that something would happen to Taiyu Temple, and Dao Xingyun would still bring trouble to the temple.
More than 800,000 people were taken prisoner, half of the city and a town were missing at the same time, and an atmosphere of panic spread throughout the branches in the south.
Moreover, the three palace masters led thousands of elites and traveled south for two months, but they did not even find out who the murderer looked like.
It is foreseeable that the three palace masters are helpless and the murderer's evil deeds will continue.
If the situation continues to expand, sooner or later the South will be in chaos!
The Third Palace Master blurted out these words in desperation. After finishing speaking, he realized that he was too straightforward.
From his position, even if he has this idea in his heart, he cannot say it out loud.
After all, the only ones who openly opposed Dao Xingyun's appointment as the Seventh Hall Master were the Fourth Hall Master and the Sixth Hall Master.
Fortunately, the Second Hall Master understood his mood, nodded and said: "Yes, after I found out the results, I had the same idea as you.
Therefore, I thought about it for a long time and came up with a solution, so I told the master of the hall tonight."
"What method?" The third hall master was very interested and asked quickly, listening attentively.
The second hall master lowered his voice and said: "It is clear that the murderer is coming for Dao Xingyun, so I will send Dao Xingyun to the south to join forces with the fourth, fifth and sixth to round up the murderer.
Although Dao Xingyun is a bait, used to lure the murderer to show up.
However, Dao Xingyun is the Lord of the Seventh Hall and should contribute to the temple. It is also his duty to catch the murderer.
Anyway, with the cooperation of the three palace masters, he will be safe, the murderer will be caught soon, and the chaotic situation in the south will be calmed down..."
After hearing this, the Third Hall Master nodded repeatedly and praised: "That's right! The Second Hall Master's analysis is very reasonable, and this countermeasure is also very feasible.
But...why doesn't the main hall master agree?
Doesn’t he want to catch the murderer early and end the chaos in the south?”
The second hall master raised a wry smile on his lips and said: "I do, of course I do. But what the main hall master is more concerned about is probably the life safety of the seventh hall master."
"This..." The third hall master was speechless and didn't know how to solve it. He could only think to himself: "The main hall master values and cares for Dao Xingyun so much, more than he cares for us. This is not a good thing."
The two looked at each other in silence for a while.
The third hall master was about to stand up and leave. Before leaving, he solemnly said to the second hall master: "Second hall master, don't worry, I support your decision and plan.
This matter originally started because of Dao Xingyun, he has brought trouble to this palace, so of course he has to solve it himself."
The second hall master nodded and personally sent the third hall master away.
Within two days, relevant news spread in Taiyu Secret Realm.
First, the generals under the masters of the three halls, and then the generals and commanders of other peaks.
A few days later, even the fourth, fifth, and sixth hall masters who were far away in the south and tired of running around knew that the owner of the mysterious mark was none other than the seventh hall master Dao Xingyun.
For a time, everyone in the secret realm of Taiyu was talking about it, and they all believed that the murderer was targeting Dao Xingyun.
The three temple masters who were still searching for the murderer in the south also complained and complained that Xingyun had brought trouble to the temple.
Especially the Fourth Hall Master and the Sixth Hall Master have a sense of victory.
They initially opposed the main hall master's appointment of Dao Xingyun as the seventh hall master, fearing that Dao Xingyun would cause trouble to the temple.
Now, it turns out that their worries were right.
Therefore, they blamed Dao Xingyun for their humiliating experience in the past two months, and their resentment was very strong.
While the three palace masters were chasing the murderer, they contacted the third and second palace masters privately to inquire about countermeasures.
When the Second Palace Master saw that the matter had spread, he no longer concealed it and explained his thoughts to them.
After the three palace masters heard about it, they all strongly agreed and wanted to take Dao Xingyun to the south immediately.
However, this countermeasure still requires the approval and consent of the main hall master, and the main hall master has been reluctant to make a decision.
In anger, the three palace masters jointly sent a summons to the main palace master to agree to the second palace master's decision.
The third hall master also found the second hall master, and the two went to the first hall master together to ask for approval of the second hall master's plan.
For a time, five palace masters jointly submitted a letter, jointly requesting the main palace master to send Dao Xingyun to the south to join the war and use it as a bait to lure the murderer to reveal himself.
Moreover, the five temple masters had good excuses and the slogans they shouted were to maintain the peace and stability of the temple.
No matter how much the main hall master protects Dao Xingyun, he still feels a lot of pressure this time when the five hall masters join forces to 'force the palace'.
…
One evening, the sun was setting in the west.
Under the towering ancient trees in the backyard of Fanxing Palace, the master of the palace and Dao Xingyun were sitting at the stone table, drinking tea and talking.
There was no guard in the whole yard, and the quiet sound of falling leaves could be heard.
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn and solemn. The master of the main hall had a worried expression on his brows. Dao Xingyun also had a bad premonition and his expression was unnatural.
After all, it was the main hall master who spoke first and said in a low tone: "I am here to see you today. I believe you can guess the purpose of my visit."
Dao Xingyun gently put down the tea cup in his hand, with a wry smile on his lips, and said: "During the past period, there were rumors and gossips spreading from all the peaks in the secret realm. Even if the juniors didn't pay attention deliberately, they heard some rumors and probably understood what was going on.
It's over.
It seems that there is a mysterious and powerful man who is burning, killing, looting and kidnapping hundreds of thousands of people in various places in the south.
The three palace masters went to the south and searched for the murderer for more than two months, but they still had no clue.
They don't even know who the murderer is, let alone catch him.
However, every time the murderer commits an attack, he leaves a mark on the scene.
It is said that that mark is the emblem of the junior."
Of course the master of the main hall knows that Dao Xingyun is not a heartless or scheming person.
He must have known about these things for a long time, and had secretly thought about countermeasures, but he just kept pretending not to know.
So, the master of the main hall asked again: "What do you think?"
Dao Xingyun showed a wry smile and said: "Rumors are flying all over the sky now. Everyone is saying that this junior has caused disaster for the temple, so he should go to the south to act as a bait to lure the murderer to show up, and then the three palace masters will work together to round up the murderer.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but..."
