On the second day, no one showed anything strange, as if nothing happened last night.
Everyone was still gathered in the lobby. When their eyes came into contact with each other, they all just nodded slightly. There was no guilt at all on them.
Zhao Yun clicked his tongue in his heart. These monks were real monks, but they were also real in their intentions. It was also a good thing to be able to discuss how to do "good things" the night before, but not reveal anything the next day, keeping it completely in the bottom of their hearts. ability.
But Zhao Yun took a careful look at the second elder who was the only one who didn't come last night, and he knew that what happened last night must not have been hidden from him, or that everyone knew what happened, but they just didn't expose it.
Even if it is covered up, the peace of Fohai Temple can be maintained longer. If it is directly detonated, the current Fohai Temple will be in chaos.
For a moment, no one in the lobby spoke, as if they wanted to continue the stalemate.
Zhao Yun did not intend to waste time with them like this, and said with a smile: "What do you think, elders and abbots? As long as we devote one-third of the area, we, Maplewood Town, can help Fohai Temple survive this crisis. ."
The second elder's eyes fell faintly on Zhao Yun, and then passed over several other elders in turn, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what your plans are, but this is Fohai Temple, and it must be Fohai Temple!"
"I don't know whether Maplewood Town has really defeated Lord Demon Buddha, but Fohai Temple is not just a mercenary. Without the great elder and abbot, it still has considerable strength."
"If anyone wants to wipe out Fohai Temple from here so easily, you can try it."
Zhao Yun nodded noncommittally: "Oh, this is the second elder's point of view. What about the others? Do you want to refuse our friendly help from Maplewood Town?"
Some sporadic elders glared at Zhao Yun and shouted: "Young men, I, Fohai Temple, have been here in Foguang Desert for who knows how long, and you can humiliate me? I agree with the second elder, who wants to set foot in Fohai Temple? Just step over us first!”
"That's right, when we established ourselves here, Maplewoods Town didn't know where it was!"
"Hurry up and leave the place where Buddha protects you, you are not welcome here!"
"A third of the sphere of influence, who are you kidding me? It would be a great shame and humiliation!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, as if they wanted to beat Zhao Yun and others out with sticks.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Zhao Yun shook his head. The concentration of these monks was obviously insufficient. Before he could say anything, they all became furious.
But it doesn't matter much. Anyway, he didn't intend to win them over in the first place. He just needs to deal with the people who choose to attach themselves to Maplewood Town.
At this time, the ninth elder and the fifth elder both glanced at Zhao Yun silently, and Zhao Yun pretended not to know anything and smiled politely at them.
A gloom suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two of them. Until now, Zhao Yun had not given them any hint. For them, the situation was simply heading in the direction that was most dangerous to them.
They couldn't help but wonder if any other guy had the support of Maplewood Town?
Although it was possible to roughly investigate the situation in the main hall where Maplewood Town was located, the people in the ANBU were not vegetarians, and there was no way to get more specific information.
Roughly speaking, we can only know that there were a total of three people who went to the hall last night. Excluding the most unlikely elders, there were four people.
That means that only one of them has never been there. Judging from the current situation, the second elder is the one who most likely has not been there.
Because the second elder is the strongest among them in terms of strength and power, and at the same time, he has made it clear that he will never compromise with Maplewood Town, which shows his opposition.
But who knows if this was the second elder and the envoy acting there, deliberately confusing them, and then looking for opportunities to eliminate them one by one.
In addition to the second elder, excluding himself, there are two other people. It is not easy to judge who is connected with Maplewood Town.
Even because everyone is now suspected of joining forces with Maplewood Town, they can't find a helper because they don't know if the person they are looking for is the person who joined forces with Maplewood Town.
"Damn, things suddenly became troublesome." The two of them thought to themselves.
At this moment, I am afraid that only the second elder who has never visited Maplewood Town knows the current situation best.
It was originally an internal dispute within Fohai Temple. After the powerful force from Maple Forest Town intervened, it is now completely unable to control the development direction of Fohai Temple. If you are not careful, it will bring a crisis of destruction to Fohai Temple. .
The second elder took a deep breath, knowing that it should be impossible for others to completely trust him now, so he could only prove it with actions. As long as he continued to obstruct Maplewood Town in the next actions, there would naturally be people with him. Like-minded people join in.
And because he controls the most powerful force in Fohai Temple currently, as long as he leads people to resist, Maplewood Town will not be able to completely annex Fohai Temple in a short time!
The second elder felt that his plan was relatively complete, but he never knew that when Maplewoods Town really wanted to expand, it would be impossible to stop it.
Because at the beginning of the operation in Maplewood Town, we were already certain of victory.
Zhao Yun's eyes playfully passed over everyone's faces, whether it was the scattered forces clamoring to drive Maplewood Town out, the second elders who planned to firmly resist Maplewood Town, or the fifth elders who had a gloomy expression. and the Ninth Elder, as well as the abbot whose expression remained unchanged.
As far as Zhao Yun is concerned, it actually doesn't matter anymore.
The moment he arrived, the scene in front of him actually had more than half a chance of happening.
And when Fohai Temple decided to keep them and gave everyone a chance to weigh the pros and cons, the seeds of doubt were already planted.
Now the core personnel of Fohai Temple have lost trust in each other. There is only one way to rebuild it again, and that is to survive this time, which can be called the biggest crisis of Fohai Temple.
If it can be successfully overcome, Fohai Temple may be able to rise from the ashes.
But would Zhao Yun allow that kind of thing to appear in front of him?
He may not be a person who specializes in strategy, but he can still do it just being responsible for this "small scene".
Seeing the hustle and bustle of others, the second elder and the others remained silent, Zhao Yun said calmly: "Would you rather choose to fight us for a little territory? I admire your courage."
"But it's a pity that courage is sometimes useless. Without enough strength, it is just poison."
"For example, when our Maplewood Town army arrives, breaks down your city wall, and wreaks havoc on this land that you insist on, then what should be ours will still be ours, and even because of your ignorance, many others will be ruined. Human lives.”
"In this case, do you still feel that you are on the right side? Is this how the Buddha leads you?"
"you--"
Everyone looked at Zhao Yun angrily, but for a moment they couldn't find a suitable rebuttal and could only sulky.
At this time, the Ninth Elder said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, and everyone should calm down first. For the sake of all living beings in Fohai Temple, we really cannot act recklessly."
Zhao Yun looked at the Ninth Elder, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Ninth Elder, is this the result of your discussion all night? To be honest, I am a little disappointed."
"Besides, doesn't the Ninth Elder feel that he should do something? For the future of the entire Fohai Temple, I have been restraining myself."
Zhao Yun's speech made many people present grin. With your performance, you dare to say that you are very restrained. Are you kidding?
In that case, what will happen if you don't restrain yourself? Should we just turn this place over?
However, the Ninth Elder's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to understand something in a daze. Could this be the hint given to him by Maplewood Town? Agree to support them?
In an instant, the ninth elder's mentality suddenly became much calmer.
Now that they have obtained the support of Maplewood Town, the next thing will be much simpler. As long as those who resist are suppressed one by one, the entire Fohai Temple will completely fall into their hands.
On the contrary, the face of the fifth elder was not so good. The alliance between Maplewood Town and the ninth elder would be a disaster for them.
It will take a long time to fully verify the news that Maplewood Town killed the Demon Buddha Lord, but before that, Maplewood Town has actually shown its very strong strength.
The strength of Maplewood Town in Foguang Desert that they currently know alone is more powerful than the power currently in the hands of the second elder.
So should they now join forces with others to survive this crisis?
While the fifth elder was thinking about this, he suddenly noticed the look Zhao Yun gave him. His expression was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have some realization.
Is it possible that Maplewood Town is acting in all this? Pretending that Fenglin Town wanted to confuse others and pretending to unite with the Ninth Elder, but actually planning to unite with them, it seemed to make sense what the look Zhao Yun gave him meant.
The fifth elder was pondering these thoughts in his mind, but at this moment he had to stand up to Fenglin Town, or else he would really drive away the helper he had finally found.
In other words, this is the best case scenario. If Maplewood Town is completely angered and Maplewood Town tries its best to attack them, it will be no big deal.
What he wants is to control Fohai Temple, not a ruin.
Therefore, the fifth elder glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, and then said: "Everyone has calmed down. What's going on? Do you still have the posture of the elder of Fohai Temple?"
"Your Majesty also wants us to unite as soon as possible to make Fohai Temple better. During this period, he will also protect us from the outside world. In fact, it is a mutually beneficial thing."
"However, the one-third sphere of influence mentioned by the envoy still needs to be discussed."
