As soon as Owen said his words, the surroundings became quiet.
Everyone stared at him with a surprised look, as if they were staring at an unknown creature.
Owen was stunned and didn't understand why these people were looking at him like this. Is there something wrong with what he said?
Xu Cheng didn't take Owen's accusation seriously, but turned to look at Qiao Yins, ready to see what he was going to do.
The playful eyes of the bishops were also focused on him.
Qiao Yinsi's face was ashen, suppressing the anger rising in his heart, and stared at Owen coldly: "Think clearly, can you be responsible for what you said?"
Owen could clearly feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and his heart was pounding.
But now that he had no way out, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Of course, I have evidence. Before the party started, someone saw him having secret contact with people from the Senate."
Deep disappointment flashed in Qiao Yins's eyes, he had already given him a chance.
"you wanna die!"
Qiu Gongyue's eyes turned cold, and she subconsciously wanted to take action, but Xu Cheng dragged her back.
Owen frowned and said, "Do you want to kill people and silence them?"
Xu Cheng was not even interested in communicating with this idiot, and said to Qiao Yins, "Leave it to you."
Qiao Yins nodded solemnly.
Many believers around him have noticed this. He not only wants to give an explanation to Xu Cheng, but also to an explanation to the believers who were attacked.
"Since you said you have witnesses, bring them over."
The witness in Owen's mouth was quickly brought over. He was a young employee of the theater and a disciple of Joyce.
Facing Qiao Yins and so many bishops, the young man was obviously very uneasy and kept his head down without speaking.
Qiao Yins pointed at Xu Cheng and asked the young man: "Owen said that you saw someone secretly having contact with people from the Senate outside the theater. Is it this person?"
The young man did not dare to raise his head and stared at his toes.
Owen grabbed his shoulders and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, there are so many people here, he won't dare to hurt you."
Owen's voice made the young man tremble slightly. He slowly raised his head, glanced at Xu Cheng, and then quickly lowered his head: "Yes, this is the person I saw."
"Everyone, you heard it."
Owen couldn't wait to point his finger at Xu Cheng: "He is an outsider with unknown origins. He doesn't know how to gain Qiao Yins trust. If he hadn't betrayed us, how could the Senate find our stronghold?"
After he finished speaking, the expected excitement did not appear. The bishops still stared at him with playful eyes, as if they were watching a clown's performance.
Owen's mouth was dry, his forehead was sweating, and he shouted loudly: "What's wrong with you? The betrayer is right in front of you! Aren't you angry?"
"enough!"
Qiao Yins took a step forward, interrupted Irving's performance, and said coldly: "Before the Senate launched its attack, we relied on his early warning to evade in advance and escape."
Owen subconsciously took a step back, his face turning pale.
Qiao Yins took another step forward: "It was also him who rescued us and took the initiative to block Eugene from behind, so that we could escape smoothly."
Owen took another step back, his face turned pale and his body began to tremble.
Xu Cheng's actions proved that he could not be a mole at all, not to mention that with his strength, there was no need to be one.
"Everyone has seen these things, but you don't know?"
Qiao Yins had already come to Irving: "Where were you when the Senate launched the attack?"
"me……"
Owen was sweating profusely and couldn't answer at all.
He was in the theater at that time, not in the underground training ground at all, so naturally he didn't see Xu Cheng's early warning scene.
After the Senate's first wave of attacks failed, Eugene immediately ordered Owen to return to the Goddess Cult and find ways to sow discord.
Owen, who had already surrendered, could not disobey Eugene's order and had no choice but to return. As a result, he did not see Xu Cheng leaving behind.
"When did you surrender to the Senate?"
Qiao Yins asked softly: "Is it when I refused to rescue your subordinates?"
After being taught a lesson by Xu Cheng, Owen privately approached Qiao Yins, hoping that he could find a way to rescue his subordinates who were captured by the Senate.
But at that time, the Senate had just announced the abolition of the legal status of the Goddess Cult. Qiao Yins was powerless and could only refuse him.
Owen was already devastated and filled with despair.
I thought that these bishops must have been carried away by their anger. As long as I found someone to slander Xu Cheng, I could ignite their suspicion and anger.
In the end, the clown turned out to be me.
No wonder these bishops looked at him like a clown from the beginning.
"Yes, that's when I decided to surrender."
Owen stared at Qiao Yins with hateful eyes: "We have known each other for so many years, but you favor an outsider who caused my subordinates to be arrested. Why do you want me to stay and work for you?"
Qiao Yins closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, his eyes had become sharp, as if he had made up his mind.
"you……"
Owen showed an expression of disbelief, looked down, and found that Qiao Yins's lightsaber had pierced his stomach.
He slowly raised his head, unable to believe that Qiao Yins would actually kill him.
He thought that even if the matter was exposed, the most that Qiao Yins could do was drive him away. He had always been such a soft-hearted person.
"Only traitors are unforgivable."
Qiao Yins eyes were red: "I keep telling you this, but you never take it to heart."
The young man brought by Owen to the side quickly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and screamed: "Mr. Joyce, it's none of my business. It was Owen who forced me to give false testimony!"
Qiao Yins ignored him, turned to look at Xu Cheng and the bishops, and apologized with a look of shame: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't take care of my own people."
He personally killed Owen in order to give Xu Cheng and others an explanation.
If it hadn't been for Qiao Yins's act of leaving behind the curtain just now, these bishops might not have given up. Their losses could not be overturned with just an apology.
"Okay, I can't blame you entirely."
A bishop said to Qiao Yins: "It seems that the plan to save the goddess can only be shelved. Let's go back first and wait for the next opportunity..."
Owen must have told the Senate about his plan to save the goddess, and it was impossible to implement this plan again.
"No, the plan is still feasible!"
Qiao Yins insisted: "The Senate must think that after the news is leaked, we will abandon this plan, but if we continue to implement it, we will be able to deceive the Senate and achieve unexpected results."
Seeing the hesitation of the bishops, Qiao Yins continued to persuade: "Everyone, after the Senate knows our plan, it will definitely strengthen its vigilance in the future, but it will definitely be too late tonight. This is our last chance."
The bishops were slightly moved, but were not convinced.
Unlike before, the Senate now knows all about the plan to save the goddess. Who knows if they will dig a trap and wait for them to fall into the trap.
At this moment, Xu Cheng, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "I agree with Qiao Yins's proposal. Tonight is indeed the last chance."
His mission has not been completed yet. If he doesn't go tonight, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait.
If you haven't been home for a long time, it will be difficult for Bai Yuelin to explain.
Qiao Yins did not expect that Xu Cheng would stand up to support her, and was so moved that she wished she could give him a hug on the spot.
Xu Cheng's words made the balance in the hearts of the bishops begin to tilt.
Qiao Yins quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Leave it to me to enter the Senate to save the goddess. You can just attract the Senate's attention outside."
Seeing that Joyce had taken away the most dangerous job, the bishops had no choice but to agree to his proposal and continue to implement the plan to save the goddess.
When Qiao Yins and the bishops gathered together to assign tasks, Qiu Gongyue looked at Xu Cheng and wondered: "Why are you so interested in this plan?"
Xu Cheng could not tell the truth, so he could only find an excuse: "I have a hunch that the truth about the destruction of the Moon Clan may be related to the imprisoned Shadow Goddess."
However, Qiu Gongyue couldn't figure out the connection between the two, and said suspiciously: "Don't you have any special interest in the shadow goddess?"
Xu Cheng looked serious: "I have a goddess by my side, there is no need to find a second one."
Qiu Gongyue said with a straight face: "I have recorded your words and will give them to Bai Yuelin next time."
Xu Cheng retorted: "Why do you think the goddess I'm talking about is not her?"
Qiu Gongyue's eyes showed a dangerous look: "Then what am I? A female monster?"
"You are not a goddess, nor a female monster."
Xu Cheng said confidently: "You are my wife."
Qiu Gongyue was so embarrassed by his earthy love words that she couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly covered his mouth with her hand and turned her head to look around, for fear of being overheard.
Qiao Yins had already assigned tasks to the bishops, and each set off with his subordinates.
He came to Xu Cheng and said apologetically: "Sorry, I chose the most dangerous task without authorization. You may need to accompany me into the Senate to rescue the goddess."
Xu Cheng looked indifferent: "It's okay, I happen to be very interested in the imprisoned shadow goddess, maybe I can see the book... hiss..."
He took a breath of cold air and resisted Qiu Gongyue's hand from behind, twisting his waist.
Xu Cheng's support moved Qiao Yins very much. This was no longer a simple favor. If his subordinates were not still there, he would have to give Xu Cheng one.
"lets go."
Under the leadership of Qiao Yins, everyone left through the secret passage in the warehouse.
The action to save the goddess was too dangerous, so Qiao Yins adopted a voluntary approach. In the end, more than thirty subordinates followed him, and only a few of them retreated.
While traveling through the secret passage, Qiao Yins also explained the plan to Xu Cheng.
He will lead people to sneak into the Senate to find the place where the Shadow Goddess is imprisoned, while other bishops will lead people to create chaos in Guangming Mountain and attract the power of the Senate. This is a very simple plan to attack the east and attack the west.
Xu Cheng was very surprised: "You said you wanted to sneak into the Senate, why are we going down?"
The secret passage is sloping downwards, so that it will only get farther and farther away from the Senate located on the top of the mountain.
Qiao Yins showed a mysterious smile: "Because there is a special place where you can enter the Senate, let you see the foundation of our Goddess Religion."
