"Dark Emperor Temple, why haven't I heard of it?"

In the Yangxin Hall, Zhang Tie was sitting on the dragon chair, frowning slightly, looking at the seven Dragon Emperor Temple elders gathered in the Yangxin Hall with a surprised look on his face.

At this time, the seven elders of the Dragon King Temple, Luo Yunshang, Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Hou Moyuan, Wang Laisheng, Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng, had all gathered here. The seven elders also looked at Zhang Tie one by one. In Tie's expression, none of the elders could see the slightest flaw in the face of their Dragon King. Zhang Tie acted as if he had heard this information for the first time.

"Elders Wang and Ying, I, and I are on duty at Qianji Department today. It was after receiving the urgent news from the Sifangyuan that I felt that the matter was of great importance, so I called all the elders together to inform and discuss countermeasures with His Majesty!" Luo Yunchang, who looked quite majestic with her round face, phoenix eyes, and tall bun, said crisply, and several elders nodded seriously.

"This Dark Emperor Temple is related to the demon clan and the Demon Emperor. The plot is not trivial. Our Dragon Emperor Temple must not take it lightly!" Ying Gucheng spoke.

"How is the Si family in Qianlin Zhongyu now?" Zhang Tie asked seriously.

"Since the incident in Qingfu City a few days ago, many key members of the Si family have disappeared and fled. Emperor Wu Temple, Star Emperor Temple, and Wa Palace have sent a large number of experts to the Qianlin Middle Territory to raid the Si family's property and track down Si. The whereabouts of the generals and key figures of the family, in addition to the Si family, several other families in the Qianlin Central Region and the Tianyang Temple are also involved. The entire Qianlin Central Region is now in chaos..." Elder Wang Laisheng said in a deep voice. .

"Why did the Martial Emperor Temple and the Star Emperor Temple react so quickly?"

"I heard that some disciples from the Martial Emperor Temple and the Star Emperor Temple were captured by the Si family earlier, imprisoned in the dungeon under the Si family's castle, and tortured. That day, the Si family was in chaos, and these people were exposed by that person. After being rescued by mysterious masters from the Dark Emperor Temple and the Si Family, the disciples from the Martial Emperor Temple and the Star Emperor Temple contacted the two temples immediately after escaping from Qingfu City. The Martial Emperor and the Star Emperor were angry and frightened. , Emperor Wu immediately dispatched a strong man at the level of deputy palace master to lead a large number of battleship generals to the Qianlin Central Region. Then the masters from the Star Emperor Temple also arrived. The Si family has a great business and a deep foundation in the Qianlin Central Region. , even if some key members of the Si family could escape in a short period of time, there were still many Si family members who could not escape. After some Si family members were captured, the Martial Emperor Temple and the Star Emperor Temple followed the lead and discovered more and more people. The dirty deeds of the Si family in the Qianlin Middle Territory. I heard that some strange places such as altars were discovered under the castle of the Si family. The existence of the Dark Emperor Temple was only confirmed. Now the Martial Emperor Temple and the Star Emperor The temple has issued a wanted order for the absconding key members and generals of the Si family... "

Among these seven people, is there anyone from the Holy Lord? If so, who is it

Listening to the elders' words, Zhang Tie's eyes swept across the serious faces of the seven elders. What was in his heart was not expressed on his face.

From Qian Changqing's mouth, Zhang Tie knew that the holy master might have refined the golden soul talisman poison before. The earliest golden soul talisman poison had been used by the holy master on some senior figures in the Dark Emperor Temple. But there may still be some flaws, and the latest Golden Soul Talisman Poison, which is also the final Golden Soul Talisman Poison, was just made by seven people a few months ago. If there is someone from the Holy Master among the seven elders here, then , in that person's sea of consciousness, at this moment, there must be a golden soul talisman poison, whether it is a new golden soul talisman poison or an old golden soul talisman poison, there must be one. But this cannot be seen with the eyes. You must use your own mental power to penetrate into the sea of consciousness of that person to detect it. To allow several high-ranking elders to accept this kind of exploration from you is tantamount to It is not an easy task to make people give up their resistance and take off their clothes to be searched by themselves. It will also make people resist instinctively. It may cause the Dragon King Temple to split. How to do this requires careful planning. one time.

Zhang Tie was thinking about these things, but what he asked were other questions.

"It has been four days since such a big thing happened. Why did the Dragon King Temple only know about it now?" Zhang Tie glanced at the elders with dissatisfied eyes.

"Your Majesty should be aware of the situation in the Dragon Emperor Temple. In recent years, especially when the Dragon Emperor Temple has completed its contraction and gathered all its power outside the Dragon Emperor's domain, our external strength and various information channels have become much worse than before. , if there is no temple outside, we will rely on some of the manpower we sent, and the news will come later..." Wang Laisheng coughed twice, and explained with some embarrassment, "This time about the Dark Emperor Temple in Qingfu City, the Sifangyuan also We only found out the next day. At that time, we only knew a general idea and the details were unknown. However, because such news was too shocking, important and impossible to confirm, we did not dare to report such news to His Majesty rashly. We just waited until the news came from Emperor Wu Temple. After a large number of experts arrived in the Qianlin Middle Territory, the affairs between the Dark Emperor Temple and the Si family were confirmed. After mutual confirmation from various channels, the Sifangyuan reported the complete news... "

Zhang Tie's face turned pale, "In that case, I don't blame you, but this matter of information and news is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. The less Dragon King Temple can withstand the tossing, the more important it is to deal with this information We must work hard on information, and we cannot save money on it. Now, in terms of collecting information, the Dragon King Temple has its own system in the Sifangyuan, Shenjiangyuan, and Supervisory Academy. My suggestion is to form a new organization, just like Affiliated to the Department of Thousand Machines, it is responsible for collecting external information. The elders will discuss it later and come up with a plan to see how to make up for this shortcoming. There is indeed no temple outside the Dragon King Temple. But you can also work around it and think of other ways..."

Several elders nodded.

As someone who came here from another world, it is estimated that no one knows the importance of intelligence and information better than Zhang Tie. Sometimes, the weaker the party, the less careless it is with intelligence and information, because this is the law of nature. One - the powerful beasts can survive by relying on their sharp claws and claws, and they can run rampant, but the weak ones must have sensitive senses, eyes and ears to listen to all directions.

The response of the Dragon King Temple is slow and ineffective to the outside world. In the past, Zhang Tie might have thought that it was due to the abilities of several elders or poor internal coordination. But now, there is another possibility - the Dragon King has been The various things in the temple may have been intentional, because a weak, bloated, and disunited Dragon King Temple is the easiest thing to swallow for some people.

Zhang Tie looked at the elders with eyes that gradually became profound, "Has the news about the existence of the Demon Emperor behind the Dark Emperor Temple been confirmed now?"

"This news has not been confirmed yet, but judging from the current news, it is very likely that there is a top powerhouse behind the Dark Emperor Temple!"

"What about the golden soul talisman poison? Can it really control the divine general?"

"This... we don't know for the time being. This information was all spoken by the mysterious master who revealed the secrets of the Dark Emperor Temple. Neither the Martial Emperor Temple nor the Star Emperor Temple have yet captured the important figures in the Dark Emperor Temple and the Si family. , so I don’t know whether it’s true or false yet…”

Just as Luo Yunshang finished speaking, Shi Zhongyu immediately took over, "I think this golden soul talisman poison is a bit exaggerated. There has never been such a thing in the Sky World. How could something so powerful suddenly appear?" Come on, if the gods and generals can be controlled like puppets, how can others not see it? I think that the mysterious master who revealed the secrets of the Dark Emperor Temple may not completely believe what he said. He was unknown in the Sky World and suddenly appeared. No one knew his identity. He said this because he might want to mess up the World of Sky. He had other purposes and put everyone in danger. …”

The faces of several elders showed contemplative looks. Zhang Tie took a deep look at Elder Shi and nodded, "Elder Shi's words are reasonable, but the Qianlin Middle Territory is in chaos now, but we can't just wait here. , I think we can take the initiative to send experts to Qianlin Middle Territory to understand the situation, and on the other hand, contact the Martial Emperor Temple and the Star Emperor Temple to see what news there is about these two temples. If the Dark Emperor Temple is really related to the demons , then this is a problem that all of us have to face, and these two temples will not hide such news... "

The elders and Zhang Tie discussed in the Yangxin Hall for nearly an hour before finally leaving the Yangxin Hall.

Everyone discussed the Dragon King Temple’s attitude towards what is happening in the Qianlin Middle Territory and towards the Dark Emperor Temple, which can be summarized in twelve words: stay out of the matter, observe closely, and adapt to changes...

What is happening in the Qianlin Middle Territory is completely within Zhang Tie's expectation, so Zhang Tie is not surprised at all. As for what happens next, he can slowly observe and adapt accordingly. The top priority right now is to ensure that there are no problems within the Dragon Emperor Temple, and to pull out the sting that the Dark Emperor Temple may control at the Dragon Emperor Temple at the minimum cost.

Zhang Tie was sitting on the dragon chair, gently stroking a space ring he was wearing with his hand. Various thoughts were running through his head. It wasn't until Leng Manxue walked into the Yangxin Hall again that Zhang Tie raised his hand. head.

"Call Commander Huang here for me tonight, and I'll treat Commander Huang to a drink!"

"OK!"

"By the way, go and find out for me, without disturbing others, to see if there is a place called Hongshan City in the Sky World. Is there anything special happening in Hongshan City recently?"

What Leng Manxue was asked to do in the end was what Zhang Tie planned to explain to Ji Yuelan in the future. Zhang Tie even prepared a set of excuses for meeting Ji Yuelan again - he was practicing secret techniques in meditation these days, and there was no Paying attention to the message she sent to him, he only saw the remaining information in the crystal tablet today, so he ordered the people below to inquire about it...

Under the premise that he could not tell Ji Yuelan that he was Tang De, and that he could not let Ji Yuelan think that he was indifferent to her life and death, this was the kindest lie that Zhang Tie could think of.

He had done good deeds, but he couldn't say it out loud and had to cover it up with lies. Zhang Tie didn't know what his behavior was and could only laugh at himself.

An advertisement slogan from before the catastrophe suddenly popped out of Zhang Tie's mind...

A man has more than one face!
