Among the three assistant heavenly masters, Liu Zhaoye's soul has been destroyed, and only Qu Han and Gao Jing are still hanging on with one breath, but that's all. Their bodies have collapsed, and their Taoism and magic power have disappeared along with their bodies. Only their souls are still covered with a layer of hazy golden light and sit on the broken ground.
The golden light covering their souls was their respective Golden Immortal magic weapons. The Black Rakshasa's soul was destroyed, and the magic weapon that was sucked into the distorted space also flew out and was now protecting their souls.
The seven chief priests and hundreds of first, second and third generation disciples knelt around, gazing at the souls of the two auxiliary heavenly masters and Liu Zhaoye's body with sorrow in their eyes.
The entire Great Heavenly Master Palace was shrouded in sorrow and sadness, and the disciples were crying silently with tears streaming down their faces.
The seven chief priests also had red eyes, but their hearts were filled with more confusion and despair about the future.
In this Tianshi Mansion, three assistant Tianshis suddenly died at once, and their successors have not yet been chosen. What will be the future of Tianshi Mansion?
Liu Zhaoye's body was quietly placed on a jade platform outside the main hall, and the souls of Qu Han and Gao Jing were sitting cross-legged in front of the jade platform.
Liu Yu held Zhang Huan and stood behind the jade platform, with a white ribbon on his forehead. He looked at the lifeless body of Liu Zhaoye with red and swollen eyes, sobbing from time to time.
Zhang Huan, who had always been happy, did not smile at this moment, as if he was affected by the heavy and solemn atmosphere at the scene. He just lay in Liu Yu's arms with a pursed mouth, his big eyes moving back and forth between Liu Zhaoye's body and the souls of Qu Han and Gao Jing.
But in the atmosphere of grief and sorrow, the souls of Qu Han and Gao Jing turned their gaze to the palace wall not far away, and the tall and majestic figure standing quietly in the shadow of the palace wall.
Immediately, Qu Han's spirit spoke, "Master Hongqing, please come forward."
Hearing Qu Han's words, the seven chief priests were suddenly stunned, then turned to look at Fang Jian outside.
As Qu Han finished speaking, Gao Jing, who was standing beside him, said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, we are unable to move easily. Please come forward."
Fang Jian was not surprised to hear this. He took a step forward and slowly walked towards Qu Han and Gao Jing, while the disciples on both sides also made way for him.
When Fang Jian came in front of the two of them, he bowed to Qu Han and Gao Jing.
Then Qu Han said, "Master Hongqing, before Liu Zhaoye Fu Tianshi passed away, he gave you his Demon-Suppressing Scroll, right?"
Fang Jian nodded, took out the Demon Suppression Scroll from his sleeve and said, "Yes, I can return it to the Liu family disciple now."
"No." Qu Han said quickly, "That's not what I meant."
Afterwards, Qu Han and Gao Jing exchanged a glance, and then said to Fang Jian, "My Golden Fire Pill and Junior Brother Gao Jing's Three Talents God-Reversing Bian will be handed over to you, Master Hongqing, later."
"Master Fu Tianshi!" Upon hearing this, the seven chief priests on the side changed their expressions and shouted hurriedly.
Even the disciples of Qu Han and Gao Jing looked over in astonishment, their faces and eyes full of confusion.
Fang Jian was stunned for a moment this time, then said, "What do you mean, two Heavenly Masters? I don't want these three magic weapons."
Gao Jing nodded and said, "Master Hongqing naturally despises these three Golden Immortal-level magic weapons. Master Hongqing's own magic weapons are far more powerful than these three. But as the saying goes, 'A bird about to die sings a mournful cry, and a dying person speaks kindly.' The three of us disobeyed Master Hongqing's advice, and ended up bringing disaster upon ourselves and inviting demons into the world. We deserve this calamity. After our death, without a capable person like Master Hongqing to guide the Tianshi Mansion, it will inevitably fall into an even more intense struggle for power. Although these three magic weapons are not as good as Master Hongqing's, they were given by the three ancestral Tianshis. Firstly, they are the foundation of the Dharma Protector Array. Secondly, they represent the highest authority in the Tianshi Mansion. Master Hongqing is an envoy from the Heavenly Court. The three of us are short-sighted and often suspicious of Master Hongqing. I hope Master Hongqing will not mind."
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "I came here on God's orders. I only care about the overall situation and not the details."
Upon hearing this, Qu Han and Gao Jing immediately felt relieved, and then said to each other, "Master Hongqing, please wait a moment."
Fang Jian nodded slightly, and then saw Qu Han and Gao Jing call the seven chief priests to their front.
The seven priests immediately came to the two of them and bowed down, saying in unison, "Assisting Heavenly Master."
But Qu Han and Gao Jing had stern expressions. Qu Han first looked at the seven priests and said, "Hand over your priest certificates."
"?" Hearing Qu Han's words, the seven priests, whose faces were originally filled with sorrow, were all stunned. After a while, Wang Zhonghu, the priest of the Discipline Hall, said to Qu Han, "Master Fu Tianshi, you...what did you say?"
Gao Jing added, "Tianshi Qu Hanfu and I order you to hand over your ordination certificates."
The certificate of ordination for a chief priest is a symbol of the authority of a chief priest. If one hands over the certificate of ordination for a chief priest, it is equivalent to handing over the power in his hands.
"Why?" Peng Zhongkai, the chief priest of the Teaching Hall, asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Two auxiliary heavenly masters, why are you asking us to hand over our priest certificates?"
But Qu Han and Gao Jing didn't explain too much. Instead, they said again: "In the name of the Tianshi Mansion's Assistant Tianshi, we two order you to hand over your Jijiu ordination certificates!"
However, the seven priests refused to carry out the order. They raised their heads, looked at Qu Han and Gao Jing with burning eyes, and said, "You can let us hand over our priest certificates, but please tell us clearly, what exactly have we done wrong, the two auxiliary heavenly masters?"
"Are you going to hand it over or not?" Qu Han gradually lost his patience and asked the seven chief priests in a cold voice.
But the seven chief priests all bowed their hands in greeting and said, "If the two auxiliary heavenly masters cannot give us a convincing reason, we will never hand over our chief priest certificates."
