When Elder Hughes and Hal arrived at the Macefield Chamber of Commerce, Sandra and others were seated safely in the hall. They arrived in advance. Although I feel that the temple has no means to turn things around, no one dares to be careless at such a critical time.
The winner wins everything, the loser loses everything, even his life.
The person sitting at the top was Ashin, and Melissa stood quietly and respectfully beside him. The soldiers of the Iron Mask Corps stood side by side with their backs against the white wall, creating a solemn atmosphere.
"It's really well guarded," Hughes sighed in his heart. The Iron Mask Corps was more powerful than he thought. These soldiers wore iron masks, but he could still see a lot of things. Everyone was on alert, and he didn't see any soldier's eyes wandering or being distracted.
It¡¯s not easy to do this. It is not difficult for soldiers to concentrate when encountering emergencies, but it is much more difficult to maintain their concentration in calm situations. Those who can do this are all elites, which shows that their training is very difficult in order to imprint discipline into their abilities.
Hughes focused his attention. No matter how elite the Iron Mask Corps was, if they could not be persuaded, it would be a terrible thing for the temple.
Hughes smiled bitterly in his heart, he was not sure at all.
But at this time, there was no room for him to back down. He didn't waste any time and bowed to Ashin above him: "I've met Senior Xin."
Ashin nodded: "Elder Hughes must have brought the sincerity of the temple. I wonder what conditions the temple is willing to offer?"
The attention of Sandra and others was immediately attracted.
Hughes was not used to such a direct style of acting, but at this time he was heartbroken and said straight to the point: "As long as the Mesfield family is willing to follow the temple, the Mesfield family will be the only wealthy family in Guangming Continent in the future. Regardless of whether the Mesfield family has Whatever you need, the temple can meet it.¡±
Several sneers rang out, but it was Huo Liuzhang and the others who showed mocking looks. At this time, the temple still has such a condescending attitude. It is simply a matter of life and death.
"The temple is the temple. I have become accustomed to being the master of Guangming Continent. As for others, they can only be servants." Hal sneered, not forgetting to add insult to injury.
But he was right.
The attitude of the temple is very clear. The temple must be the master and the Masefield family is the subordinates. And if the Mesfield family joins the alliance of wealthy families, it will be as a partner, and everyone will be the master of Guangmingzhou in the future. Although it will involve the distribution of power and interests, at least everyone is equal in status.
The difference is huge.
Sandra and others breathed a sigh of relief. They were most worried that in order to reverse the war situation, the Temple would promise to rule Guangming Continent with Masefield in the future. Of course, even so, they had reasons. The temple had a covenant with them back then.
But the attitude of the temple still surprised them.
This is tantamount to the Temple pushing the Masefield family in front of them. The Temple's arrogance is really hopeless.
Ashin was noncommittal, pretending to glance casually at the guard not far away, and looked at each other with Tang Tian Qianhui, seeing the wariness in each other's eyes.
The temple¡¯s arrogance and refusal to back down are becoming increasingly abnormal at this time.
Hughes didn¡¯t know why the Great Elder refused to give in at this time. Although he said that he would win over the Macefield family no matter what conditions were used, he refused to give the most important condition.
But fortunately, he doesn¡¯t have any chips.
He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "The temple is willing to teach methods to resist the erosion of time, which can extend the life of Senior Xin."
The faces of Sandra and others suddenly froze, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes. They finally understood that they had overlooked an important point. Senior Xin was a soul general.
Only then did they understand where the temple¡¯s confidence lay.
If you have a way to resist the erosion of time, the time of your existence can be greatly extended. For the Masefield family, Senior Xin is their patron saint, and its value is self-evident in keeping the family's patron saint from disappearing.
This is an offer the Masefield family cannot refuse.
"Impossible!" Huoliu said suddenly: "The laws of the world eroded by time cannot be resisted by humans. You are talking nonsense."
There was a slight inflection in his voice, which showed the horror in his heart.
Hughes calmed down instead. In fact, he didn't really believe it, but at this time he didn't care so much. He pretended to be confident and said: "It seems that you have forgotten that the temple was the first to start soul research, and?, I believe no one has invested more in this than the Temple. "
Hughes was full of confidence when he said this, yes, who is more authoritative than the temple in terms of soul research?
Sandra, who had been watching with a cold eye, suddenly smiled and said leisurely: "Yes, when it comes to soul research, there is indeed no one more authoritative than the temple."
As soon as Sandra opened her mouth, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in Hughes's heart.
On the contrary, Huo Liuzhang and others, who were initially panicked, immediately became calm. They knew Sandra well, and since he spoke, there must be something he could do.
Sandra continued leisurely: "Thank you to the Temple for helping us study for so long. We will definitely carry forward these results. There are still many good things in the Temple, and we will cherish them."
Huo Liuzhang and others' eyes lit up. Yes, as long as the temple is captured, everything in the temple belongs to them.
Hughes's heart skipped a beat, but he kept calm on his face and sneered: "Really? Even if you capture the temple, you will only get ruins."
"Perish together? You have overestimated the bloody nature of the elders." Sandra chuckled: "Not everyone is willing to be buried with the temple. We also have many friends in the temple. As long as the temple has this thing , then it will be ours.¡±
Hughes¡¯s face finally changed. There was an elder colluding with the enemy!
There was boundless bitterness in his heart, but in fact he had been unwilling to admit it. These wealthy families have been secretly planning this action for who knows how long. Their infiltration into the temple has probably been going on for many years, and Hughes has been aware of it over the years.
Looking back now, there were many signs in the past, but I only thought that these people were deliberately making friends, and I never expected that their intentions were so big.
At this moment, Ashin suddenly said lightly: "I don't need it."
His eyes turned to Xiaoran involuntarily. Here, Xiaoran is probably the only one who can understand him best and understand how difficult the long years are.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and Ashin felt the warmth and concern in Xiaoran's eyes.
An imperceptible smile couldn't help but bloom at the corner of his mouth.
Feels great.
Suddenly, a glimmer of enlightenment arose in his heart. Before meeting Xiaoran and Miss, his world was only the past, but now, his world is still the present.
¡°I don¡¯t just live in my memory.
The world of black and white seems to have become brighter, more alive, more alive and with different colors at this moment, even if he is just a soul general.
very nice.
Ashin turned his eyes to Elder Xiu Si and said: "If that's all, I'm sorry"
Sandra finally had a smile on her face, knowing that the temple had completely failed.
"It still failed!"
Suddenly, a low, majestic and unfamiliar voice interrupted Ashin's words.
Ashin stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, staring closely at Hughes. Everyone else stood up in shock and looked at Hughes with a ghostly expression on their faces.
The unfamiliar voice just now actually came from Xius's mouth.
Everyone could tell that something was wrong with Hughes. Hughes' body was stiff and motionless. His eyes were unfocused and out of focus, and only his mouth could open and close. The scene in front of them was so weird that everyone felt a chill rising from their backs and their hairs stood on end.
Sandra stared at Hughes with horror on her face: "Great Elder!"
"Haha." Hughes remained motionless, opening and closing his mouth, and his voice seemed to come from his chest: "Sandra, I didn't expect you could still hear my voice. We haven't seen each other for twenty years."
Sandra¡¯s expression returned to normal: ¡°Yes, I haven¡¯t seen her for twenty-three years.¡±
"Your memory is always better than mine. I really don't want to meet. The old friends from back then are now having to fight to the death." The great elder sighed.
"I'm just taking back what belongs to us." Sandra said calmly.
"Everything in Guangming Continent, including you, only belongs to the temple." The great elder's tone was calm, but extremely domineering.
Sandra was unmoved: "That's why there is this war."
"Twenty years ago, I understood your disobedience, but it was difficult for me to attack you. Everything is over, Sandra. Thanks to this war, a new era is about to begin."
Sandra¡¯s face darkened, and he felt a little uneasy.
"Guangming Continent does not need famous families, Guangming Continent only needs temples." The great elder's voice was full of fanaticism, and Hughes's body was trembling.
SandraSuddenly he understood, and there was disbelief in his eyes: "You have to deal with all the famous families!"
"Do you understand now? Sandra, you have regressed." The great elder's voice became more and more fanatical: "The temple needs rebirth, Guangming Continent needs rebirth. Only I can give them new life! It's a pity, Sandra, you see It¡¯s not here anymore.¡±
Elder Hughes was trembling violently, and suddenly a wisp of white flame burst out of his body.
Holy Flame!
The pure and gentle holy flame shows how profound Xius's attainments are. Holy flames enveloped Xiu Si's body, like a man on fire.
Everyone feels the smell of danger, but they don't know where the danger comes from.
Tang Tian moved the fastest. Almost as soon as the holy flame emerged, he attacked Elder Xius. His intuition was extremely sharp, but at this time, his heart was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of danger.
die! He smells death!
Since he realized the Awakening Divine Equipment, how long has it been since he experienced the feeling of being threatened by death?
The warning sign was so strong that all the hairs on Tang Tian¡¯s body stood on end involuntarily.
Poof!
Elder Hughes¡¯ head exploded like a watermelon, but his body did not fall.
