Gallo was thinking about how to deal with the Venus Sect, and the senior management of the other party was not idle, and they were having a tense meeting to discuss the matter.
More than a dozen senior officials of the Venusian Sect are nestling in a meeting room, which is located in an unusually luxurious church. Its floor space and hardware facilities are second only to the three Orthodox churches, and it is the fourth cathedral in the city.
This place originally belonged to the Sect of Light, but like the Sect of Wisdom, they suffered heavy casualties in the invasion of the evil gods. The Venus Sect took over here and set it as the central cathedral in the city of innocence.
And this meeting room has been redecorated, the walls are full of artistic night sky and stars, sitting in it is like being in the sea of stars, and people can't help feeling the vastness and boundlessness of the starry sky.
But the people sitting inside were indeed ashen-faced and said nothing. They formed a circle, and in the middle was the chilled corpse of the assassinated priest.
The corpse was intact, and no scars could be seen on the body, but it was so sudden and sudden, and the death was so strange that it was really confusing.
In addition, the assassin's origin, purpose, and mastermind behind it are even more puzzling.
And the captain of the guard who hasn't returned yet... That's a second-level envoy, why did he disappear without any reason
A series of troublesome questions made the atmosphere in the meeting room very dignified, and no one vented their anger, let alone made a speech.
After a long period of silence, a man with a hulking back, a hooked nose, and a shiny bald head said:
"You self-proclaimed experts, strong, smart people, why don't you talk anymore? Aren't you usually eloquent?"
His voice was low and calm at first, but he became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally shouted angrily with a volume like a bell:
"Why don't you even know the cause of the death of the priest of Kelun?"
As he got angry, black lines appeared on his face, on his bald head, and on his exposed arms, which looked like tattoos, but also seemed to be living creatures, constantly entangled Twirling, as if trying to form some pattern.
Seeing this, the faces of the people next to him changed drastically, and they shouted quickly:
"Not good, Elder Wade is having a fit, quickly bring a woman in!"
The priests who had been on standby outside the meeting room quickly ushered in a young female priest with a pretty face who was wearing the same style of black church.
With fanatical radiance on her face, the female believer knelt willingly in front of the bald head, serving him with all her might.
The bald head took a deep breath, and his mood temporarily calmed down, and the black lines on his body gradually faded.
"Huh~ Compared to the Witch, after all, it's still a little bit worse..."
He glanced at the female priest who was trying to swallow with some disgust, and continued to speak as if nothing had happened:
"The Priest of Kelun is my mentor, friend, and the person who recommended me to join the church... Although I relied on the favor of the stars and was lucky enough to enter the Council of Elders, I will always regard him as my elder..."
"I know him very well. With his strength and prudence, it is absolutely impossible for him to die at the hands of some witch. Those little bitches are not capable of murdering a priest in public..."
"Stop making excuses for your incompetence!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed the head of the female believer forcefully.
A squint-eyed man next to him, who is also strong but wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks like an intellectual, persuaded:
"Wade, you thought that when you came to the city of innocence, you should learn to be calm and restrained. Didn't you think that you still need this method?"
"I've always been calm, it's just that the blood of the Star God in my body is boiling."
The bald man spoke disdainfully, his body trembled suddenly, and the black lines on his body finally disappeared completely.
"Go to my room and wait for me."
The bald head patted the female believer's head in satisfaction, telling her to back down, and continued with a melancholy expression:
"Perhaps the plan went too smoothly, and we were a little negligent, so we lost the beloved Colun priest..."
"I can understand your feelings, Wade, but right now is not the time to be sad, we still have a lot to consider..."
Squinting eyes can directly call the bald head's name, and his tone is not polite at all, which shows that his position is on the same level as the bald head, and he is also a member of the power class of the Venus Sect and a member of the Elders' Council.
The two of them are the highest leaders of the sect in the city of innocence, and they are also the most powerful third-tier envoys in the sect, with strength comparable to that of demigods.
But they didn't have the suffocating substantive coercion of demigod powerhouses, and they didn't even have much power fluctuations, let alone specific ranks, so they were able to hide from everyone's sight and enter the city of innocence.
Two veterans with demigod-level combat power successfully entered the City of Innocence without attracting the attention of the Orthodox Church. This is the advantage of the Venus Sect and one of their trump cards.
The plan went quite smoothly, and the Orthodox Church was just as they expected, dull, stupid, and arrogant, and they didn't make any effective resistance. They couldn't even repair their life-saving hole card, the wall of sighs, which made people laugh.
But the sudden death of an important priest gave them a blow to the head, reminding them that the enemy they had to face might not be just the Orthodox Church
At this time, an old man who was also dressed as the officiant next to him suddenly said:
"This matter... could it be that 'mystery' did it?"
"I can think of an organization that has the ability to do this kind of thing, and its methods are weird, and it is not known to the world."
The bald Wade glanced at him a little funny, and asked:
"You actually believe that lunatic's words? Do you really think that there is some unknown mysterious sect in this world that still holds a shocking mysterious power in its hands?"
"But he's an important ally of ours, isn't he?"
The priest retorted in a low voice.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so naive at this age?"
"How can there be any allies in this world? All we can rely on are ourselves and the blessing of the Venus!"
"What's more, this is a guy who betrayed his mentor. I won't believe anything he says."
After careful consideration, the squinting eyes on the side also shook their heads, and said in a mild tone:
"On this point, I agree with Wade's view that such a sect should not exist in this world, because it is not in line with logic and common sense."
"Possess great power, but are willing to remain anonymous? Don't use power to satisfy your own desires and needs?"
"How can there be such a person in this world? Is it a lunatic or a fool?"
"What's more, even that betrayer is not sure whether this sect still exists, and even if they do exist, as long as our plan can be carried out smoothly, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
The priest heard the two high-ranking elders say that, so naturally he didn't dare to say more, and lowered his head in shame.
However, his absurd statement also made other people's brains open, and they expressed their own ideas and discussed them.
"Could it be a high-level assassin from an assassin organization?"
"High-level assassins never assassinate, don't you even know this bit of common sense? In my opinion, the biggest murderers are those Orthodox churches, and they still hold some powerful magic in their hands."
"But there wasn't even the slightest wave of divine magic at the scene... I still stick to my point of view. This should be a case of poisoning. Those little bitches are very good at concocting poison..."
The opinions of the people were all kinds, but they were all far-fetched, making the squint-eyed elder frown, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted angrily:
"enough!"
Black lines also appeared on his face, scaring everyone into silence.
But he is probably better than bald, and without the help of a woman, those lines melted away by themselves and returned to normal.
"These issues can be investigated slowly. The important thing is what do we do next?"
The other chief priests and captains of the guards present suggested one after another:
"Send people first, and find Captain Bruce. Every envoy is an important force of the sect."
"Captain Bruce is a second-tier divine envoy with outstanding strength. There are no opponents below the legendary level. There is no one in this city who can threaten him. The worst case scenario is that he is trapped by the enemy or lured away by the assassin." far away?"
"He might be enjoying himself on the bed of some noble lady. With the charm of Captain Bruce, what woman is not easy to catch?"
"I also believe in Captain Bruce's strength. Compared to his whereabouts, I think now is an opportunity to make a move..."
"Since Orthodoxy is our worst enemy, and we have lost a beloved priest, it is perfectly justifiable that the enemy should pay the same price..."
"For example... let a bishop of Shenguang sect disappear?"
As soon as he heard someone mention this, the bald head suddenly became angry, and said quickly:
"Nice, I like the idea!"
He had heard a long time ago that there was a young and beautiful girl bishop in Shenguang Cult. Not only did he have the title of genius magic girl, but he also had a charm no less than that of a witch.
It is entirely possible to take advantage of the untimely death of the priest and take advantage of the opportunity to capture this young bishop and enjoy it...
The squinting eyes on the side probably guessed what the companion was thinking, and quickly persuaded:
"I heard that the bishop is the jewel in the palm of the Shenguang sect. If we attack her, it may cause conflicts in advance, and we are not yet fully prepared..."
"Hmph~ Are you still afraid of the Orthodox Church's combat power? In front of the mighty power of the stars, they are as ridiculous as bugs."
Baldhead said disdainfully.
"No, I'm just worried about that angel that might exist..."
He squinted and explained.
"That angel must not appear randomly, otherwise the Orthodox Church would have called him out long ago, and complicated preparations must be required..."
"Why don't we take advantage of this to test it out?"
