After Wu Tian and the other two left, the city lord returned to his chair with a hint of smile in his eyes, muttering: "Recruiting the Judge is really a timely relief."
He took out the Earth Symbol and sent a message.
Not long after, Zhu Wei, who had left, came back.
It was obvious that the message was sent to Zhu Wei.
As soon as he entered the reception room, Zhu Wei asked urgently: "City Lord, are you telling the truth?"
The city lord smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I've already told you the news. Whether it will succeed depends on your performance."
Zhu Wei bowed and said, "Thank you, City Lord. If my son can become the Judge, I will definitely prepare a great gift for you."
The city lord shook his head and said, "You and I have been friends for many years. Do we still need to be so polite?"
Zhu Wei laughed, and the city lord also laughed.
Zhu Wei suddenly frowned and said, "This matter needs to be solved with the right medicine. City Lord, do you know who is their captain?"
The city lord said, "Needless to say, it must be Lady Leng Yue. I have heard that she is highly regarded by the Grand Hall Master. Whenever she went on a mission, she was always the captain, and this time is definitely no exception."
Zhu Wei disagreed with this statement and said, "City Lord, it's not that I doubt your judgment, but when I saw them, I always felt that the masked man was unusual. Did you find that the masked man looked familiar?"
"look familiar?"
The city lord was slightly stunned, and shook his head and said, "You think too much. There are many people wearing masks in the world. What's so strange about it? Besides, he is just a nine-tribulation god. What can he be? Don't worry, my judgment will never disappoint you. You just need to take care of Lord Lengyue."
After hearing this, Zhu Wei felt that he was overthinking and said with a smile, "Does the city lord know if Lord Leng Yue has any special hobbies?"
The city lord said: "From what I understand, she seems to like playing the guqin very much. Why don't you give her a guqin?"
"Understood. I'll arrange it now."
Zhu Wei bowed and turned to leave.
The city lord shouted, "Someone come."
Accompanied by hurried footsteps, another guard arrived at the door of the reception room.
The city lord said, "Give orders that from now on, the Holy Temple will recruit judges. All gods above the tenth kalpa can come to the Holy City to sign up. The time limit is three hundred years. After three hundred years, the formal assessment will begin. If any of you guards want to participate, you can also sign up."
"Thank you, City Lord, for your cultivation!"
Hearing this, the guard was so grateful that he burst into tears.
The city lord said calmly, "Don't thank me too soon. I don't know the criteria for recruiting judges this time. Whether you can enter the temple depends on your luck and fortune. Go down!"
"yes!"
The guard bowed and retreated, and immediately began to spread the news.
The Temple's recruitment of judges was a major event in the East Continent. Once the news got out, it spread rapidly across the East Continent like a plague.
In less than three days, everyone in most of the East Continent knew about it!
The world was surprised and delighted, and they all started to set out towards the holy city.
The indigenous people of the holy city are also gearing up for action.
City Lord’s Mansion!
In a secluded corner, there is an independent courtyard with birds singing and flowers blooming, and a beautiful environment. It is definitely a good place to cultivate one's body and mind.
This is the residence arranged by the city lord for Wutan and the other two.
That night, the sky was moonlit and the wind was gentle, and the villa was silent.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a sound of piano music spread out, but there was a hint of coldness in the sound, like an iceberg, which made one feel cold in the ears and in the heart.
Wutan lived on the third floor. After hearing the sound of the piano, he couldn't help but get up, walked to the terrace, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Leng Yue sitting alone in the flower garden, plucking the strings of the piano with her jade fingers, with no expression on her face, like an icy beauty.
Swish!
You Mo appeared out of thin air beside Wu Tian and shook his head, saying, "Leng Yue is not only beautiful, but also very talented, but she is too cold, making it difficult for people to get close to her."
Wu Tian said: "Aren't all the people in the Holy Temple like this?"
You Mo smiled and said, "Really? At least I'm not."
Wu Tian said: "This is just you feeling good about yourself. If you don't want to admit it, you can go ask the city lord, he will tell you how cold you are."
Hearing this, You Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Leng Yue looked up at Wu Tian and asked, "When are you going to play a song with me?"
Wu Tian said calmly: "Your piano sound carries a sense of loneliness, while mine carries a sense of calmness. I'm afraid we will never have the chance to play together in our lifetime."
“I see!”
A hint of disappointment crept into Leng Yue's cold eyes.
Wu Tian said: "I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll go find a place to stabilize my realm."
You Mo frowned and said, "No one is here to disturb you, why don't you consolidate your realm here?"
"I like someone."
Wutan smiled faintly and disappeared without any warning.
"Well!"
You Mo was stunned and shook his head, "How irresponsible."
"He is the captain now. It is his freedom to do whatever he wants. We have no right to interfere." Leng Yue said, and then went back to her room to meditate.
"Aren't these two too boring?" You Mo was stunned, then pouted and said, "Since you all like to be alone, I'll go around the city alone."
…
Outside the holy city, there are endless mountains on all sides.
Wutan turned into a stream of light and headed straight to the north.
After several hours, he stopped above a forest, his divine sense spread over the sky and earth, and everything was in sight.
This forest is extremely vast, and there is no human figure. There are quite a few ferocious beasts, but their strength is only between the eighth and tenth tribulations, so they pose no threat to him.
“Swish!”
He flashed and landed on a low hill below. With a slight burst of his aura, several nearby ferocious beasts of the Eight Tribulations God immediately fled in panic.
Then, he sat cross-legged, and his ninety-nine meridians and earth veins opened up. He began to absorb the essence of all things in this forest to consolidate his cultivation realm.
Time flies and half a year has passed.
On this day, a golden light suddenly appeared in a corner of the East Continent.
Immediately afterwards, two young men walked out from the golden light one after another!
The two men are almost the same in height and body shape.
A man wearing a long black robe, with long hair draped over his shoulders, regular facial features and an extraordinary temperament.
The other person was wearing a fiery red dress and his long hair was also as red as fire. When the breeze blew, it looked like clusters of flames burning and rising in the void.
And both of them have a pair of bright and deep eyes, which reveal wisdom!
After the man in fire clothes walked out of the golden light, he glanced at the world in front of him, with a friendly smile on his handsome face.
The man in black waved his sleeves, and the golden light dissipated, revealing an ancient mirror that seemed to be made of gold. He grabbed the ancient mirror and put it into his body, then looked at the man in fire clothes beside him and remained silent.
After a moment, the man in the fire suit looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Saint Realm, here I come."
The black-clothed man raised his lips slightly and said jokingly, "If Xuanyuan Ao knew that you and Wu Tian had entered the Holy Realm, I wonder how he would react."
The man in the fire suit smiled and said, "Of course he will be shocked, and then he will come to persuade us personally to put aside our past grudges and join the Holy Realm. If he fails to convince us, he will kill us. This is Xuanyuan Ao. He wants to save the people with all his heart. I admire him very much, but his approach is a bit too extreme."
The man in black shook his head and laughed, and asked, "How are you going to explain Han Tian and the others' situation to Wu Tian?"
The man in the fire suit said, "Tell the truth. Send a message to Wu Tian and ask him where he is now. Don't tell him that I'm here. I want to give him a surprise."
The man in black took out the Earth Elephant Order and sent a message to Wutan.
In the forest, Wutan was practicing quietly, but the Earth Symbol suddenly vibrated.
He took out the Earth Elephant Order and looked at it. A gleam of light suddenly flashed across his eyes, and he quickly replied with a message.
"So fast?"
The man in black looked at the Earth Elephant Order in his hand in a daze, then his mind sank into it, and a hint of amusement immediately appeared on his face.
The man in the fire suit asked, "What did Wu Tian say?"
The man in black said, "He asked me where I had been this year, and told me that he was now in the Holy City, which is the base of the Holy Temple in the secular world. He went to the Holy City this time on the orders of the Grand Master to recruit judges, and he also had a plan."
The man in the fire suit asked, "What's the plan?"
The man in black said, "He asked me to find a way to kill all the people who came to participate in the assessment, and then put the blame on the wild beasts of the Western Continent!"
The man in the fire suit laughed and said, "It seems that he wants to completely ignite the anger of the temple, but I don't think it's appropriate."
"What's wrong with that?" The man in black frowned.
"First, the major wild beast races are not stupid and will not easily take the blame."
"Secondly, if all the people who came to participate in the assessment died, it would mean that Wu Tian's mission would fail again."
"In this case, he will most likely lose the qualification to enter the Inner Hall. And to completely destroy the Holy Temple, we must start from the Inner Hall. As for the Judgment Hall, the Law Enforcer, and the Resource Hall, they are actually irrelevant to the overall situation."
The man in fire clothes smiled and spoke.
The black-clothed man's eyes lit up and he said, "You are right. The Judgment Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Resource Hall can be rebuilt in a short time even if they are destroyed. But the Inner Hall is different. The Inner Hall is the lifeblood of the Holy Temple. Once destroyed, the Holy Temple will exist in name only."
The man in the fire clothes continued, "Moreover, the ten great elders of the Kunpeng clan, the Kunpeng Emperor, and the five Kunpeng ancestors alone cannot shake the Holy Temple. We must also drag in the other old antiques of the Kunpeng clan!"
The man in black asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
The man in the fire suit laughed and said, "I don't have any good ideas, but I do have a stupid way."
"What do you think."
The man in black looked at him expectantly.
The man in the fire suit said: "My method is actually to kill those who go to the Holy City to take the test, but the difference from Wu Tian's plan is that I want the people of the Kunpeng clan to come to the East Continent in person."
The man in black frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult to do."
The man in the fire suit shook his head and said, "It's not difficult. You have already gained the trust of the Kunpeng clan. It's easy to convince a certain elder that you have the ability. And you have the Space-Time Mirror. It's also very simple to bring him to the East Continent, and no one will notice."
