The people of Ruchuan, who have become accustomed to what the priests of the Divine King Temple mean by the Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit, have never thought that there may be differences between the Divine King Temple and the Tongtian Snake Spirit.
Therefore, during the prophecy ceremony, the high priest and the "snake spirit messenger" questioned each other, which made people angry and at a loss.
Because no matter which side tells the truth, it means that the majesty of Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit has been violated like never before.
As for the fight on the priest's high platform, no one else could intervene.
Ling Yao hid behind the masters of various tribes who took advantage of the chaos to besiege Da Xikang. While avoiding the head-on conflict with Da Xikang and other masters, he observed the development of the situation.
The current situation is very favorable to him.
Whether it was the unexpected "prophecy" that gave him the opportunity to catch the opponent's flaw by adapting to the situation; or the destruction caused by the formation-breaking bead on Lang Yue; or the timing of the master's uncle's interruption of the Heavenly Snake Spirit. .
It can be said that everything is just right. Everything is developing in the best direction he expected.
The only fly in the ointment was that he forcibly accepted the attack from the Sky-Top Snake Spirit's projection, causing him to break an arm.
But in order not to affect the possible subsequent battle, he shifted all his strength to his left arm. As long as he didn't hold the sword with both hands later, no one would notice that his hand was injured in the collision.
Moreover, an injury like a comminuted fracture sounds terrible, but for the Jianmen disciples with many resources, as long as it is treated in time, there will be no sequelae.
It is simply not more cost-effective to trade injury for strength.
However... although he has the upper hand now, it does not mean that things will definitely end smoothly.
Not to mention how after Da Xikang's defeat, he had to fight with other forces to grasp the power of the God King Temple, or to push for changes in the current situation of the God King Temple. This is the moment...
Is Da Xikang really that easy to defeat?
Whether it's an encirclement or a wheel battle...the other party is the high priest recognized by the Heavenly Snake Spirit.
Not only is he superb in strength, but he also has an endless array of methods, and it is impossible for the Heavenly Snake Spirit not to leave some means of prevention on him.
Sometimes, the comeback only takes a moment.
In the chaos, Ling Yao saw Da Xikang's eyes.
In those eyes, there is the anger of a failed plan and being plotted against, the embarrassment of being questioned and condemned, the anger of being besieged and losing ground...
But soon, these emotions that should not have appeared on the face of the "noble and holy" high priest faded away.
What appeared on Da Xikang's face again was the terrifying smile of giving it a try.
"Since you are slandering me for forging prophecies and thinking that Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit's projection is just an illusion, does this mean that you are no longer afraid of the wrath and revenge of the so-called 'illusion'?
"Come on, let's give it a try - I will personally go to Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit to apologize and ask him to forgive my incompetence for letting you ignorant rats question his majesty!"
The high priest's staff was lit. But this time, the gem on the staff no longer emits a gentle platinum light. A red light filled with malevolence shot out of the gem and landed directly on the golden statue of the Snake King.
"唳——!!!"
A huge neighing sound came from the mouth of the statue, and clouds of red and black mist also spewed out and enveloped the surroundings.
Different from the previous projection of the sky-reaching snake spirit, this time the power in the snake king statue is no longer floating on the surface, creating the image of the sky-reaching snake spirit itself - the red light flashing in the eyes of the statue is as if the huge statue itself has become There was a living creature, exuding a destructive aura.
"Hurry up and cover your nose! That's Lord Snake Spirit's red devil gas! He used his staff to activate the mechanism!"
someone in the crowd shouted.
"The statue of the Snake King is a mechanism left by Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit and Lord God King when Liuchuan was founded! No one can use it except the high priest who is recognized by Lord Snake Spirit. Could it be that he really doesn't..."
"But Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit's phantom was indeed shattered just now. If he was just a cultivator in the Pure Realm, how could he possibly do it..."
"Didn't there be an explosion just now? Maybe there is help..."
The voice of doubt came out again.
The priests and masters of various tribes standing in front were busy resisting the poisonous mist, and were also on guard against the attack of the Snake King Statue. No one could care about Da Xikang's whereabouts.
And Ling Linhan stood on the high platform, listening to these disturbing discussions, and couldn't help but frown.
Sure enough, in the battle of public opinion, the support of ordinary people is very easy to gain and easy to lose.
A simple but twisted sentence or a picture taken out of context can change their stance instantly.
If there was no immediate action at this time and the Snake King Statue was allowed to attack ordinary people, and Da Xikang also fled to the Holy Spring to join forces with the Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit, their plan would be in vain.
"Go and stop Da Xikang! The mechanism inside the Snake King Statue is opened by the power of the staff! As long as you use the staff to stop the statue, there will be no disaster!"
This is Fan Shansheng's voice.
During the studies after becoming a priest, Ling Linhan had actually known for a long time that although the mechanism in the Snake King Statue was controlled by the high priest's staff, the essence of its power still came from the sky-reaching snake spirit. Without the will of the Heavenly Snake Spirit, even Da Xikang would be powerless.
Fan Shansheng's words deliberately obscured the truth, but also proposed a solution, allowing people to regain their backbone.
But... the prophecy ceremony has been destroyed. No matter who is at fault, everyone will bear the wrath of the snake spirit.
At this time, who would dare to face the Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit in order to catch Da Xikang?
Some people's eyes have begun to turn.
More and more eyes are turning to the same person.
"Save us! Priests! Snake Spirit Messengers! Save us!"
"Since it was raised by the Snake Spirit Envoy, let the Snake Spirit Envoy meet Lord Snake Spirit! Aren't you the envoy of Lord Snake Spirit?"
"Sir Snake Spirit Messenger! It was you who said he was a liar, so we believed him!"
Most people are like this...when they curse, each one looks more upright than the other. But when it comes to really coming forward, they shirk their responsibilities faster than anyone else.
Didn't they ever think that the person they pushed away was actually just an ordinary person? Could it be that the so-called "Snake Spirit Envoy" could bear the wrath of the demigod that reached the sky that they feared?
Ling Linhan looked at Ling Yao nervously.
His steps have begun to move.
Although he didn't want to expose his position prematurely, he also wanted to protect the safety of the Anqi tribe first. But if things really got to that point...he couldn't let Ling Yao die alone.
"Master Tongtian Snake Spirit is now trapped in the Holy Spring. He wants to take the opportunity to steal the power of the Holy Spring! You protect the people! I will stop him! Only by killing him will all this end!"
After his righteous remarks, Ling Yao's figure rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards the main hall of the God King Temple.
The voices of discussion still existed, but no one raised a question.
Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit will make a decision on who is true and who is false.
However, Ling Linhan became sluggish when Ling Yao left.
Because he has good hearing, he can distinguish someone's discordant whispers among the noise.
"...This is the right thing...it went too smoothly before.
"If there are a little twists and turns, it will make me feel a little more realistic."
Behind the overlapping figures, he didn't see Ling Yao's eyes.
But he saw the reflection of Chengying Sword, and saw the corner of the mouth with a strange smile flash past behind the sword's spine.
"I'm really sleepy and I'm giving you a pillow. I'm worried...that I don't have a chance to go to that place and see it in person."
Fan Shansheng took advantage of the chaos to approach Ling Linhan. When he walked up to him, he saw Ling Linhan's big mouth growing into an O shape.
"Want to follow?"
Ling Linhan raised his eyes and stopped his exaggerated expression:
"Isn't this part of your plan?"
Fan Shansheng shook his head hesitantly:
"Da Xikang's reaction was abnormal. Obviously he had a back-up plan. Whether it was the prophecy just now, or now... it seems that the snake spirit wants to use him to lure Ling Yao there. It's impossible for him not to understand this. ,but……"
"It's because I knew this that I wanted to go even more. That guy was a lunatic when he came up..."
Ling Linhan recalled the previous scene where a certain salted fish went crazy, bit the crystal core and beat someone, and couldn't help but spit in a low voice,
"You stay. I'll go over."
"Are you alone?! But then..."
"It's too conspicuous for two people to leave together. Besides, there's no point in having one more of you."
"But you are obviously..." You are better than me in strength.
Fan Shansheng was embarrassed to say this completely.
Ling Linhan knew what he meant, but he grinned:
"If it's true that I'm like you, why did you catch me during the 'prophecy'? And now you've given up?
"'The Blessed One'... Since it is destined to be different, then let it be different.
"I won't let go of this opportunity!"
After saying that, without waiting for Fan Shansheng's reaction, he dodged and headed towards the holy spring.
Fan Shansheng didn't agree on the plan and couldn't stop the other party. He stared and choked for a while, so he could only raise his head and sigh:
"You have the nerve to tell others, what is the Blessed One? You are an arrogant brat, do you really think you are different? Only madmen and lunatics can play together, why am I here to join in the fun...
"But... maybe, a coward like me will never understand, and will never be able to do it..."
And in his field of vision, suddenly a dark shadow flew through the air, carrying a chaotic aura and falling towards the main hall of the God King Temple.
Who is this?
It's just that he can no longer care about others.
"It's chaos, it's all chaos... the flowing river, the Temple of the God King, the sky-reaching snake spirit, the sacrificial ceremony..."
"Today is destined to cause an uproar..."
Because, the Snake King statue moved.
"But the bigger the fuss, the better, right? That way you can...
"My death will not be in vain."
