"What did you say?"
Tang Tian was dumbfounded, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Melissa's expression was extremely excited at this time, and her voice was still trembling: "Just now Qiu's stronghold was raided by the Bright Knights, Qiu Yunqi was killed on the spot, Qiu Beifeng was seriously injured, and his entire bodyguard was wiped out."
"Are these guys from the Bright Knights crazy?" Tang Tian felt that this matter was completely incomprehensible. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the Bright Knights, he had personally experienced it. In his opinion, it was normal for the guards to be wiped out. On the contrary, Qiu Beifeng was able to escape only after being seriously injured, and his strength was not weak.
But there is no reason.
Qian Hui analyzed the current situation with him, and unless the Qiu family really didn't know how to flatter them, the temple would have no reason to attack the Qiu family. The temple now needs the power of these famous families, and the Qiu family is a real top-notch famous family, and its influence among the famous families is astonishing, and Qiu Xuhua is still fighting in the Southern League.
If it was absolutely necessary, the temple would never attack the Qiu family.
Tang Tian's eyes turned to Qian Hui.
Qian Hui pondered: "When did it happen?"
Melissa said quickly: "It was just last night."
She knew that Qianhui was the proprietress, so she had a respectful attitude and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Those of them who followed Tang Tian knew very well the position of the proprietress in Tang Tian's heart, so they did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.
If it is said that Tang Tian needs a period of contact to understand how powerful he is, then Qian Hui can deeply feel how powerful she is as long as you get along with her for a short time.
A cold light flashed in Qianhui's eyes: "It must be something happened in the temple! Send someone to inquire, this news is very important to us, we will spare no expense!"
"Understood!" Melissa gritted her teeth and agreed.
In Guangming Continent, any force is very clear that figuring out the idea of the temple is more effective than anything else. It is naturally more difficult to infiltrate the temple, but if it is related to the survival of the family, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done.
Time, money, and water drop stones.
The strength of the Masefield family is not strong, but at least they have crossed the threshold of a famous family. It is naturally impossible to be very influential, but there are still one or two familiar elders. These elders are usually fed with money, but they don't need to do anything, just for this moment.
Elder Bianchi came to the temple as usual. But he immediately noticed the anomaly, the temple was heavily guarded and there were guards everywhere.
The guards of the temple have a special title, the guardian of the temple. Usually, the temple guards can only be seen in the corners, they are almost invisible, and the elders' high-spirited speeches are not affected in the slightest.
But today, Bianchi saw more than two hundred temple guards along the way. For the first time, he knew that there were so many temple guards.
Something must have happened.
Bianchi felt a little uneasy, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw Elder Hughes not far away. He has a close relationship with Elder Hughes, and unlike him, the elder at the end of the crane, Hughes has a very high seat and is a real elder with real power.
Hughes has great power and is co-opted by various parties, so he is very well-informed.
Bianchi walked over and lowered his voice: "What's the matter? What happened?"
Hughes' face was solemn, he looked up and looked around, and said in a low voice: "Something has happened! Your Highness was assassinated and died."
Bianchi's eyes widened suddenly, and he stayed where he was. It took a while before he came back to his senses, and said, "How... how..."
"All the candidates for the Holy Son were arrested." Hughes whispered: "The order of the Great Elder."
Bianchi was terrified, he was naturally not a fool to become the elder of the temple. His Highness had an accident, and the biggest suspects were these candidates for the Holy Son.
"How dare they?" Bianchi still couldn't believe it.
"It's only them themselves, of course they don't dare." Hughes snorted coldly, with a murderous look on his face, and said in a hateful voice: "With the support of those famous families, it will be different. Today, the heads of a few famous families, just say, I hope a new Son can be chosen soon."
A flash of anger suddenly flashed across Bianchi's face: "Asshole!"
"These guys are just throwing stones to ask for directions." Hughes' face also darkened: "Those old guys behind are the real masterminds behind the scenes. These guys are really vicious! Picking this critical moment, they already have a plan!"
Bianchi was panicked, yes, don't they know how dangerous the current situation is? Don't they know that if this war is lost, the whole Bright Continent will be over
"How can there be no eggs under the overturned nest!" He blurted out.
"They know." Hughes was silent after finishing speaking, and said with difficulty after a while: "But they also know that probably only in such a situation can the Great Elder compromise with them."
Bianchi was equally silent, Hughes was right. With the always strong personality of the Great Elder, if it weren't for the current situation, he would definitely uproot these famous families and leave no one behind.
Bianchi was inexplicably sad, and he suddenly had a feeling that that powerful temple would never appear again. For some reason, this feeling is so strong. His heart was completely shrouded in sadness, and he asked with great difficulty: "What did the Great Elder say?"
Hughes was silent, and it took a long time to faintly say: "I didn't say anything."
Bianchi didn't know how he got home. When he came out of the temple, he saw the representatives of the second group of famous families enter the Hall of Light.
He sat in a chair lost in thought.
"Sir, there is Mr. Benny asking to see you." The butler's voice came from outside the study.
When Bianchi came back to his senses, he knew that Mr. Benny was from the Masefield family. Even a small family like Masefield can't hold back
With an inexplicable sigh in his heart, he said lightly, "Please come in."
Melissa received the news, and when she saw the news, she could hardly believe her eyes. She stumbled and ran in to report to Tang Tian and Qian Hui.
Tang Tian also froze when he saw the information. He had met Charles, and Charles had always been on his blacklist. Assassinating Charles was one of the first plans he decided on after discussing with Qian Hui and Bing.
Unexpectedly, however, Charles was assassinated.
Qian Hui was much calmer. She and Charles had never met, so she didn't react to the news, but immediately considered the gains and losses.
Both Ashin and Sima Xiao were called in to discuss together. Ashin is good at strategy, while Sima Xiao is good at tactics.
"We're going to get the word out right away."
The opinions of Ashin and Sima Xiao are very unified, almost in unison.
"Fishing in troubled waters, the more chaotic the situation is, the more room we can play, the more room we can operate, and the more opportunities we have." Sima smiled and his eyes lit up. For him, such a chaotic scene is his favorite. : "We took the opportunity to kill several important people from famous families."
He went on to say: "If you kill a few important people from the famous family, the famous family will definitely point the finger at the temple. There is no room for reconciliation between the two parties, and the confrontation will only become more intense. There is no room for the famous family to back down. If they fail, the temple will let them go." Have they passed them? So they can only go to the dark one way, forcing the temple to retreat, and forcing the Great Elder to hand over his power!"
"That's a good idea!" Ashin said excitedly, "I want to help the famous family well. The five tiger generals are the troops of the temple. Will they be loyal to the temple or will they join the famous family? What about their soldiers? As long as the famous family is in power, the light will come. The division of the Continent will begin. How can those corps loyal to the temple obey the orders of the famous family? How can the famous family rest assured that so many corps will not obey their orders?"
Hearing Ashin and Sima laugh at you and me, Tang Tian felt great. In the past, no matter what situation he encountered, he could only rack his brains. Now everyone under him is a master, fierce generals are like clouds, counselors are like rain, alas, why is he so good
It is easy to spread the news, and he and Bing are connected with each other, which is extremely convenient.
Thinking that Goucheng Wendao hadn't received the news from the rear, and the news of Charles' assassination and death had spread all over SAARC, Goucheng Wendao's face must be very exciting.
Too bad you can't see it.
As for disguising the temple and killing a few important figures from top famous families, Tang Tian had his first goal without even thinking about it.
Of course it's the Qiu family!
Charles' death shocked the entire Sanctuary.
The Holy Son has a high status in Guangming Continent, and he is regarded as an important person who will succeed the Great Elder in the future. His death caused a sensation in the Sanctuary. What's more, he still died of assassination. You must know that in the history of the temple, no important person has ever died of assassination. The temple is very unique in how to prevent assassination. In addition, the temple has a strict system and a natural distance from the outside world. It is even more difficult for outside assassins to sneak into the temple.
The only ones who could assassinate Charles were those inside the temple, or else there was collusion between inside and outside. Equally astounding, the Temple is unrivaled in how it controls the loyalty of its personnel.
To enter the temple, one needs to go through rounds of screening, and each round has ceremonies such as oaths and holy flame tests. Don't think that this is just a ritual, it is real and effective. Anyone who breaks the oath will be severely punished, and these punishments often come from the soul, and there is nowhere to escape. The higher the level, the greater the bondage.
Thanks to this, there are almost no traitors in the Temple, which is why many people hate the Temple. In the eyes of many people, the temple's complete control over people's body and mind completely violated human nature.
But I have to admit that the method of the temple is extremely effective. When other forces are fighting each other, the temple has always been united. High-level orders will be carried out unconditionally, and their soldiers are full of fanaticism and are not afraid of sacrifice.
Therefore, the outside world is full of fear and awe of the temple. In their eyes, such a temple is invincible.
The assassination of His Royal Highness Charles smashed it all.
From everyone's point of view, and such an important event spread throughout the sanctuary in a blink of an eye, it is obvious that the mastermind behind it is fueling the flames.
Immediately afterwards, the conflict between the temple and the famous family also surfaced, becoming the hottest topic at the moment.
This storm has only just begun.
