Chapter 112 The High Priest Dies
"Because Yunzhi said that person had a close relationship with the former Tianxuan Sect, so they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."
Su Yu left after saying this.
Ye Yuan seemed to be lost in thought.
He was very confused about Yunzhi's knowledge of so many things, but he still chose to believe Yunzhi and immediately sent people to find the priest named Chongguang.
After the palace coup, Chongguang was preparing to leave, but due to the strengthened defenses in the palace, he was unable to contact the people from Tianxuan Sect, so he finally got in touch with those people until now.
Chongguang was planning to leave early tomorrow morning and reunite with those people, but he didn't expect that a group of people rushed into the sacrificial palace where he was.
Chongguang looked at them and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The two people leading the group were Zheng Peng and Shi Lei. They looked at Chongguang warily and asked, "Are you the priest named Chongguang?"
Chongguang: "So what if I am? You want to attack me? I come from the Beast Temple, you can't hurt me easily."
He had no idea that the high priest was being detained in the palace, and he thought Ye Yuan would be concerned about his relationship with the Beast Temple.
Zheng Peng sneered: "I heard that you have connections with the former Tianxuan Sect, and you are planning to restore the Tianxuan Sect. Is this true?"
Chongguang's face changed. "That's pure nonsense. I don't know anything about the Tianxuan Sect. Stop talking nonsense."
Shi Lei took out his sharp sword and placed it on Chongguang's neck. "You don't need to say anything more. The City Lord knows whether it's true or not."
After saying that, Shi Lei raised his sword and chopped off Chongguang's head with the sword that could cut through iron like mud.
When Shigemitsu died, his eyes were still wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he was killed by them.
After confirming that the man was dead, Zheng Peng and Shi Lei went back to report.
Ye Yuan spread the news of Chongguang's death, and sure enough, many people from Tianxuan Sect were ready to take action and wanted to avenge Chongguang. Ye Yuan killed one if he came, and killed two if he came.
All the remaining remnants were strangled to death, even Mo Wuyou was implicated.
When Mo Wuyou learned that the high priest was imprisoned by Ye Yuan, he wanted to take people to rescue the high priest.
However, before Mo Wuyou could break into the palace, he was killed by Ye Yuan's men at the city gate.
"A lackey of a high priest, dead is dead."
So said the man who killed him.
At the same time, the high priest was also killed by Su Yu and others in the water dungeon. In order to intimidate the Beast Temple, the high priest's body was sent back.
When the people in the Beast God Temple saw the body of the high priest, they were all furious and wanted to settle the score with the people in Jinghong City.
However, the people of Jinghong City said, "A high priest has died, so you can just replace him. Our city lord is only punishing him. Who told him to collude with those rebels? His death is only natural. It's not against your Beast God Temple. If you go against Jinghong City for the high priest, then we will fight to the end!"
After saying these arrogant words, he left.
Chenri and Jiyue looked at the high priest's body and shed tears.
Especially Ji Yue couldn't stop crying.
He didn't expect that he would lose his father in such a short time.
"I must avenge my father." Chen Ri gritted his teeth and said with tears in his eyes.
However, other people in the Beast Temple had different ideas.
One of the high-ranking priests suddenly spoke up, "We can't go against Jinghong City. They're the most powerful of the city-states, and they have a strong military. If they really intend to become an enemy of the Beast Temple, their army could crush us overnight. For the sake of everyone's safety, we have no choice but to give up."
"That makes sense. The new Lord of Jinghong City also said that it was only targeting the High Priest, not all of us."
"Are we just going to let it go like this? They slapped us in the face like this. Our high priest was unilaterally murdered by them, and we can't do anything about it."
"So what do you want to do? Fight them? How many people in our Beast God Temple can fight against the army that Jinghong City is always on the march?"
"Jinghong City was right to begin with. Ye Yuan killed the high priest because he interfered with their internal affairs. If he hadn't interfered, Ye Yuan wouldn't have killed him."
"In the final analysis, it was the high priest's own fault for supporting a loser. As a result, Ye Yuan ascended to the throne. If he had supported Ye Yuan earlier, our Beast God Temple would have been the hero of Jinghong City."
For a moment, the hall fell into silence and no one said anything.
Chen Ri wiped the tears from his face and looked at these people expressionlessly.
This time he finally understood what it meant to be alone and helpless.
"My father went to Jinghong City for the future of the Beast Temple. What do you mean by saying these things now? Since you are unwilling to avenge my father, then we will go by ourselves."
"Jiyue, let's go."
Chen Ri took Ji Yue away from here. Due to Ji Yue's physical problem, they did not transform into beasts, but took a carriage to Jinghong City.
After disguising themselves, the two men sneaked into the city. They planned to enter the palace of Jinghong City and assassinate Ye Yuan.
However, just as they entered the city, they saw a familiar person on the street.
Yunzhi.
Jiyue said to Chenri, "Brother, look, it's Yunzhi."
Chen Ri looked at Yun Zhi with a gloomy expression.
Yunzhi walked on the street unconsciously and looked quite happy.
"Follow her and see where she lives now."
Ji Yue nodded.
Chen Ri and Ji Yue followed Yun Zhi quietly and saw with their own eyes that Yun Zhi walked to a big house, opened the door and went in.
"So she's hiding here. No wonder the people we sent to the north couldn't find her."
Chenri murmured.
Ji Yue: "Should we arrest her then?
Chen Ri: “Anyway, we already know where she lives, there’s no rush.
After the job was done, he secretly brought her back to the Beast Temple and locked her up completely so that her two beastly husbands could never find her again.
Right now, the most important thing for us is to kill Ye Yuan and avenge our father."
After saying that, Chen Ri and Ji Yue prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, a group of people appeared from nowhere and surrounded them.
The leader gave an order, and Chen Ri and Ji Yue's skills were like those of rookies in front of these veterans with special abilities.
In a short while, they were tied into two dumplings.
The leader said, "I saw you guys were planning to harm Miss Yunzhi and was about to take her down. Hey, I didn't expect you two brats to actually dare to target our city lord. You're really tired of living."
Chen Ri struggled on the ground: "Are you from Ye Yuan? Nonsense, why are people from Ye Yuan here?"
