The heavens start from the eight parts of Tianlong

Chapter 616 The Temple’s Plot
This night in Chang'an City passed very slowly. This night in Chang'an City finally passed.

Overnight, more than 13 officials in the court who were involved in the case of General Xuanwei's Mansion [-] years ago were either killed or imprisoned.

In particular, the main accomplices, Imperial Envoy Mei Yiqi, Deputy General Chen Zixian and Military Officer Yan Suqing, were captured by His Majesty the Emperor's confidant, Xu Chongshan, who personally led his troops and were immediately executed on the spot.

His Majesty the Emperor is using a thunderous force to vindicate the old case.

No one knows why. Those who know the reason are very secretive and dare not say more.

Later, an even more shocking news spread from the Tang Dynasty to all places, that is, the master who had not been seen in the academy for a long time actually gave up the position of dean of the academy to an unknown young man.

I heard that this young man named Ning Que was not from the academy. He only met the master once and was appointed as the dean of the academy.

Although the master's eyes will never look at the wrong person, young people are young people. Let a young man ascend to a high position. This is a rare opportunity for those who want to take action against the academy!
……

Xiling Divine Kingdom, Temple

Xiong Chumo, the leader of the temple, read the news he had brought from Chang'an carefully and was silent.

Under the throne, there was only one person, the High Priest of Judgment. At this moment, the High Priest of Judgment, Mo Yu, suddenly said: "Master Headmaster, this is an opportunity."

Xiong Chumo replied coldly: "Maybe it's also a trap."

For Xiong Chumo, whose cultivation has surpassed the five realms and reached the Apocalypse realm of the temple, although the academy is strong, the only one worthy of attention is the Master.

The Master just resigned, not dead. As long as the Master is still alive, the Xiling Kingdom will never have a chance.

"Perhaps, we can test it out." Mo Yuyi, the great adjudicator, pointed out.

"Tell me what you think." Xiong Chumo said calmly.

"According to the news from Chang'an, this young man named Ning Que is a survivor of the case 13 years ago. Today, the Emperor of Tang killed many people in order to vindicate the case. Even his younger brother was severely punished. Sanctions are currently behind closed doors.”

The Moyu Goddess said with a sinister expression: "As far as I know, the Tang Dynasty's general Xia Hou was also the instigator of that case. Maybe we can use him to test the new academy director."

"The case 13 years ago?" Xiong Chumo said with a clear tone: "If this person is really the person that Master likes, and he is just a top martial artist, I'm afraid he won't be able to detect anything."

"So, I was wondering if I could tell the person in the You Pavilion about this matter." The Black Jade Goddess said with a hint.

Hearing the Black Jade Goddess mention the one imprisoned in the You Pavilion, the atmosphere in the temple suddenly became solemn.

"The Black Jade God, Wei Guangming misinterpreted Haotian's will and was imprisoned in Youge to repent. This is what the old man meant. What do you want me to do?" When Xiong Chumo said the last sentence, it was clearly a questioning tone.

Everyone knows that the Xiling Temple is the leader of the Haotian Dao Sect in the world. Only the top officials of the temple know that the real leader of the Haotian Dao Sect is Zhi Shou Guan from the back mountain of Taoshan.

The Zhishou Temple not only contains six volumes of heavenly books, but is also guarded by countless old monsters in the realm of knowing destiny. The temple owner Chen, who is second only to the Master in cultivation, is always behind the scenes, controlling everything in the temple.

Over the years, if Chen, the master of the temple, had not been exiled to the South China Sea by the Master and was not allowed to set foot on land, the senior officials of the Xiling Temple would not have been so happy.

Wei Guangming misunderstood Guangming's will and caused endless killings. This was the comment given by the temple master to him. Thirteen years ago, in order to prevent the situation from escalating, the master of the temple personally set foot on land from the South China Sea, knocked Wei Guangming down to the Five Realms, and imprisoned him in You Pavilion.

Even Xiong Chumo, the master of the temple, cannot ignore what the temple master means. "I have no objection to what the old man said." Moyu Goddess said: "I just heard that the nameless priest, who is a die-hard loyal to the Great Priest of Guangming, is secretly working together to plot evil... But the Great Priest of Guangming has not let go. But this time is different. If he knew about the old case and there were survivors, I'm afraid..."

There are also factions within the Xiling Divine Kingdom. The great adjudicator Mo Yu is obviously of the same mind as Xiong Chumo. In addition to the two of them, the temple has the commander of the divine guards, the chief of the adjudication department Luo Kedi, and the commander of the divine guards cavalry Chen Bachi. They are all from their faction.

These people, headed by the headmaster Xiong Chumo, are in charge of the Xiling Divine Kingdom.

In addition, the great priests of Tianyu have never been interested in worldly affairs. In the original temple, only the upright and upright high priest Wei Guangming was not easy to deal with.

The intention of the Moyu God Throne is very obvious. This matter started because of Wei Guangming, so Wei Guangming should be allowed to resolve it.

Killing people with borrowed knives and eradicating dissidents are all tricks that even the gods of the temple are very good at.

Qi Wei Guangming is already a rebel in the temple in name. His attempts to test the academy and Ning Que, regardless of success or failure, have nothing to do with the Xiling Divine Kingdom. This is a typical case of killing with a borrowed knife!
Unexpectedly, this is a conspiracy. Wei Guangming cannot leave a survivor of an old case alone. If Wei Guangming is rescued from You Pavilion, there will be a battle with Ning Que in the future.

"The light of Haotian should shine all over the earth, and the Tang Dynasty should be no exception." After a long time, Xiong Chumo just said this sentence.

The eyes of the Black Jade Divine Throne flashed and he said: "I will obey the teachings of the Master."

……

Among the mountains on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Yan State, the autumn mood was thickening. General Xiahou walked towards the eastern front with an expressionless face. His confidant Gu Xi and a group of personal guards followed him silently.

The light from the rising sun shines on his armor, emitting a faint white luster, and it looks like a mighty statue standing in the holy glory.

"General, during this patrol, he killed more than [-] Yan army's main force. When he returns to court one day, he will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor." Gu Xi said with a smile.

"A commendation? It would be nice if Your Majesty did not punish me for leading the troops harshly." General Xiahou said with a mocking smile.

"Why would General say this? The general's determination to open up new territories for His Majesty can be learned from the sun." Gu Xi said.

Xia Hou did not speak. The relationship between him and Emperor Li Zhongyi was far more complicated than that of a monarch, a monarch, and a minister.

Decades ago, the gate of the Demon Sect was breached, and Ke Haoran destroyed the Demon Sect with a single sword.

Back then, Liansheng, as the high priest of the Demon Sect, left behind a backup team to secretly escort a pair of Demon Sect disciples, and sneaked south into the Tang Dynasty. They were siblings Xiahou and Xia Tian.

They came to the Tang Dynasty originally to assassinate the Emperor Li Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty, which triggered a melee among various countries. However, the Demon Sect was destroyed by Ke Haoran, and their master Liansheng was also imprisoned in the mountain gate.

Xia Hou's sister Xia Tian also really fell in love with Li Zhongyi, putting the mission of Mo Zong behind, and the two got married with the consent of his master.

However, Xiahou was in an awkward situation. In order to draw a clear line between him and the Demon Sect, he personally cooked and killed his lover, Murong Linshuang, the Saint of the Demon Sect.

From then on, he was sandwiched between the two sides of the temple of the Tang Dynasty, serving as a murderous knife. The temple did not trust him, and the emperor did not like him. He could only continue to perform meritorious services on the border to show that he was irreplaceable.

But, when will these days end?
Xia Hou didn't know that in the first half of his life, he had killed too many people, and he never believed in karma. In this life, he only wanted to be vigorous, no matter right or wrong.

Xiahou's thoughts flew far and wide. At this moment, the wind blew in his face, and a messenger from the temple came uninvited!
