Red Moon Temple.
As the black tide approaches, the tense and murderous atmosphere becomes more and more serious. The seven deputy halls are preparing their own armed forces and gathering almost all the legendary masters in order to deal with the upcoming black tide.
Many young people don’t understand what Level 1 Alert means.
But the older generation of the Red Moon Temple, anyone who had experienced the incident more than a decade ago, knew very well what it meant.
Enslaved gods!
The words recorded in the forbidden secret book are simply unable to describe the specific circumstances at that time.
That kind of shock is still vivid in my mind even at this moment.
As an old man who had experienced a disaster more than ten years ago, Gu Wei was in a very bad mood at this moment.
Because the other deputy halls were making intensive preparations, while the Black Hall was currently in internal strife and arguing with each other over the next election for the hall master.
"The Black Tide will come in one day, and we in the Black Palace still don't have a Palace Master. This is definitely not acceptable.
I suggest that we first select an acting hall master to help everyone get through the black tide, and then discuss the rest later." A prestigious fat warlock said during the argument.
But his words were quickly interrupted by a man rushing in from the door.
"Bullshit, I can hear your calculations at home.
Acting Palace Master? Since the establishment of the Black Palace, there has been no such thing as an acting Palace Master. And the position of Palace Master must be at least a level 7 legend, right
Why are you, a level 6 loser, joining in the fun?"
"I'm a level 6 waste? Then what are you?"
"I am your father..."
The Red Moon Dark Palace, which was supposed to be quiet, was now like a vegetable market.
This situation gave Gu Wei a headache.
“Hey, do these guys have any brains? Level 1 combat readiness means that a true god-level enemy will appear.
What if, like last time, a hidden enemy directly passes through the barrier and lands near the Black Palace
With the current chaotic and disorganized state of the Black Palace, I’m afraid half of the people will die.”
"Master Gu Wei, please come out and say something. Master Black Crow and Master Annie are not here, and you are the only legendary master here. Come out and take charge of the situation. No one else can keep things stable!"
Gu Wei covered his forehead with his hand, his face full of pain.
He is the one who fears trouble the most.
If possible, he would never participate in any Black Palace election.
The other two guys might be more interested in that kind of thing.
However, at a time like this, he really should say a few words, otherwise, before the black tide arrives, the Black Palace will be in internal strife, which is definitely not acceptable.
The Black Palace was once very powerful, but the old palace master died unexpectedly without leaving any arrangements for his funeral.
The originally powerful Black Palace became extremely weak.
The old shop owner had done him a favor, and at this moment, Gu Wei certainly could not continue to watch the Black Palace continue to sink.
Um... since you all said so, as a member of the Black Palace, I must stand up at this time.
"Then I'll just say a few words..."
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, otherwise what you say will be nonsense."
Before Gu Wei could say anything, a somewhat cold female voice interrupted him.
As everyone looked towards the door, a woman in red, about 30 years old, slowly walked in.
Annie, one of the three top masters of the Black Palace today.
He is also Black Crow's biggest rival in the battle for the position of Black Palace Master.
She is powerful and ruthless, which is completely different from Gu Wei's lazy mentality.
She had a feeling that she was determined to get the position of the Lord of the Black Palace.
At this time, facing Gu Wei, who was at the same level as her, she was not polite at all.
"Lao An, you're back!" Gu Wei said with a silly smile.
Although it's true that he is a good guy, but good guys don't have temper. Annie is not giving him any face now, so naturally he has to be sarcastic.
There is nothing wrong with this.
When Annie heard Gu Wei calling her Lao An, she frowned and was about to get angry, but soon her expression froze and she turned around to look behind her, which was where she had just come from.
Someone else is coming
Everyone's eyes followed Anne's turn.
The Xu Le trio, led by Black Crow, slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Xu Le, a pretty boy who seems to be useless except for his good looks, is naturally not taken seriously by everyone.
But something was not right with the woman on the other side.
One-eyed owl!
This title is quite impressive even in the entire Red Moon Temple.
It is said that the previous Lord of the Black Palace once fought against Chi Xiao, but the outcome is unknown.
But after that incident, the situation of the Black Palace Master became worse, although it was also due to his old age.
But many things are just so coincidental, which makes people doubt the relationship between Chi Xiao and the previous master of the Black Palace.
"Black Crow, you've been missing for so long. Now that the black tide is coming, you've finally come back. Do you want to pick some fruit?"
Annie is not afraid of the black crow.
They have been colleagues for a long time and naturally know Black Crow's condition. By now, he should have been severely corroded by the Dark Mark.
A legendary warlock who has been corroded by the mark of darkness cannot become the master of the temple.
Because the other warlocks in the Black Temple could not accept a temple master who could die suddenly at any time.
She doesn't need to take such an opponent seriously.
The only person Annie needs to be wary of is Chi Xiao who is behind Hei Ya.
"Why, do you feel that your words are not strong enough, so you hired mercenaries? You are pretty powerful to be able to order her around."
Chi Xiao's identity originally belonged to the external armed force organization of the Red Moon Temple, so what Annie said was actually correct.
It's just that the expressions of others are a little amused.
They had all heard of Chi Xiao's name, but this person... was not easy to get along with.
By speaking like this, Anne would offend the other party.
Just as everyone was waiting for Chi Xiao's response, Black Crow, who walked straight into the room, spoke first:
"Annie, I don't want to waste my time on you. The position of the Lord of the Black Palace belongs to me."
"???" Annie looked at Heiya with some confusion. Did he drink too much? Or did he take the wrong medicine
"You've been outside for too long. Your mind isn't clear. Do you know what you're saying?"
Hei Ya raised his head slightly. He was tall and thin to begin with, and after making this move, his eyes were full of a sense of looking down on others.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about, it's just that you haven't figured out the current situation yet."
Black Crow ignored Annie, turned his head to look at the other Black Temple Warlocks, and said loudly:
"Everyone, we don't have much time left."
"Forehead?"
"… "
"???"
After Black Crow said this, these warlocks had different expressions. Although they didn't know why Black Crow said this, this menacing feeling still made everyone feel a little uneasy.
"Lord Black Crow, you said you don't have much time, is there something going on?"
Hei Ya did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at Gu Wei opposite him with a questioning look in his eyes.
Gu Wei immediately understood what the other party meant.
More than a decade ago, they both experienced the Temple's Level 1 combat readiness, which was the incident of enslaving gods.
Now Black Crow is considering whether to make this matter public in order to unite the will of everyone in the Black Palace.
This is very important in the subsequent work.
After a little thought, Gu Wei nodded to Hei Ya.
"Go ahead, it's time to speak out now."
Everyone else, including Anne, was confused.
The two seem to know some secrets, and now, perhaps it is time to reveal these secrets.
"What are you two keeping secret?"
Black Crow looked at Annie with some pity and whispered:
"The next black tide will be very dangerous. If we in the Black Palace cannot unite as one, perhaps you will die in this accident.
Of course, the dead members also include you, Annie."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Annie was a little annoyed, but she was the youngest of the three and had not experienced the events of more than ten years ago.
Facing Annie's question, Black Crow began to talk about the Level 1 combat readiness:
"Speaking of Level 1 combat readiness, we have to mention an incident that happened more than a decade ago, the death of the previous Palace Master..."
Everyone:!
Black Crow retold the incident of God's enslavement in a heavy and rapid voice, and the content made many people feel a little uncomfortable.
Before coming here, Xu Le and Chi Xiao had considered whether or not to release this news.
The final result of their discussion was... a small-scale release.
Control the spread of information a little.
Because this time the Black Tide is at level 1 combat readiness, even if they don't release the news, the Red Moon Temple itself will release the news.
To the warlock elite, this sort of thing is mostly just gossip, as the warlock community is more self-centered.
It’s just that the impact is greater for ordinary people and ordinary believers.
Therefore, Xu Le felt that it would be a great profit to use a piece of news that would be announced soon to stabilize the morale of the Black Palace and make the future path of Black Crow easier.
As for the Red Moon Temple and the future of the Black Temple... He is not from the Red Moon Temple, so what does this have to do with him
With this idea in mind, Xu Le acted much more aggressively this time and directly let Black Crow attack his face.
After everyone heard about the God's enslavement plan, Annie, who had previously been in conflict with Black Crow, still had an expression of disbelief on her face.
In fact, she already believed it, which can be seen from Gu Wei's expression.
But she still refused to accept Black Crow.
"What? You want to get the position of the Black Palace Master just by bringing back this kind of news? Black Crow, you have to understand that the Black Palace will not allow a sickly person to become the Palace Master.
Has your dark mark been lifted?"
“Relieved.”
Hearing Annie's question, Black Crow raised his hand as if nothing had happened, and the dark mark on his hand had disappeared.
His fair and smooth skin even makes him look like a middle-aged man in his 40s.
"How is that possible?"
Looking at Annie's surprised expression, Black Crow felt satisfied.
He has tolerated this woman for a long time.
"It was Mr. Xu Le who helped me get rid of the dark mark. He is a very powerful warlock, very powerful."
Hei Ya did not mention Chi Xiao, because everyone knew Chi Xiao and knew that Chi Xiao was not easy to mess with.
So he didn't even need to mention it.
All he needed to do was to emphasize Xu Le in particular.
A particularly powerful warlock who commands his respect.
And this particularly powerful warlock can also solve the problem of the dark mark.
In the Black Palace, there are many people who have touched the darkness.
After all, there are the most dark secrets in the Black Palace, and there are many people who have been exposed to darkness like him.
"The affairs of the Black Palace do not require outsiders to get involved. Please step aside for a moment."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Annie wanted to use group action to force Xu Le and Chi Xiao.
But Xu Le didn't buy it at all.
He came here today just to let Black Crow take over the position of Black Palace.
If Black Crow doesn't take down the Black Temple, he won't be able to guarantee his information channel with the Red Moon Temple, and he won't be able to unlock the Black Temple's forbidden techniques.
In the past, given Xu Le's personality, he would usually proceed step by step.
As the man behind the scenes, he gradually devoured the Black Palace and then became the boss behind the scenes of the Black Palace himself.
The advantage of doing this is that you will not expose yourself and it is highly confidential.
But the black tide is imminent, and Xu Le doesn't have that much time to get entangled with the people here.
The Son of Gu Yinduo wants to get rid of the Red Moon Temple, and the Red Moon Temple also wants to kill the Son of Gu Yinduo. He needs the information and secrets of the Red Moon Temple.
It’s not appropriate to delay any longer, it’s better to take action right away.
So when Annie tried to drive Xu Le and the other person away, Xu Le came out before Chi Xiao.
This surprised Chi Xiao a little. Normally, she was the one who handled such matters.
People with Xu Le's personality usually keep to themselves.
It is very rare to see someone take the initiative to stand up like this.
But since Xu Le took the initiative to step forward, she was happy to watch the show.
With their current combined strength, they can almost be said to be fearless in the Red Moon Temple.
Unless the Red Moon himself descends, even if the Immortal Veil-Man Yue comes in person, they will not be able to touch him.
Maybe you can't win, or even lose soon, you may be defeated, but you will never die.
Strength is their confidence. With this confidence, they no longer need to be so cautious in the Red Moon Temple.
"What did you say?" Xu Le bowed slightly and made a listening gesture.
But what Annie said just now was very clear, and Xu Le couldn't have failed to hear it clearly at such a close distance.
Therefore, Xu Le's action at this time was full of sarcasm.
When Annie saw Xu Le doing this, her face turned extremely ugly.
In the Red Moon Black Palace, she was second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
She didn't take Gu Wei seriously. The black crow was just a pile of dead bones in a grave and was nothing to worry about.
After the death of the old palace master, there was no one left who was second only to him.
She is truly the one who is above everyone else and most likely to become the master of the Black Palace in the future.
Originally, she thought that the position of the Black Palace was already in her pocket, but now these two people appeared, which greatly affected her original plan.
Chi Xiao is fine, after all, in a sense, Chi Xiao has always been a member of the Red Moon Temple, at least a thug.
Moreover, Chi Xiao is almost the ceiling of combat power here.
Annie is very arrogant, but arrogance does not mean stupidity. When there is a gap in strength, even if she wants to show disdain to Chi Xiao, she must consider her own strength.
