Temple Master, dont you think youve gone overboard? the old man said grimly as he stared at Duan Ling Tian, The three of them had served the Title Temple for many years. Although they questioned your authority, you shouldnt have killed them. Moreover, its true that its inappropriate to appoint a branch master as the new Temple Master.
Elder Chu, it seems like you disagree with my decision as well, Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as he looked at Elder Chu with a cold gaze.
The old man scoffed. Wu Hong Qing, do you want to kill me as well?
As soon as the old mans voice fell, a terrifying energy surged from his body, causing the crowd to shudder. Those with weaker cultivation bases were so pressured that their faces paled immediately.
D-did Elder Chu break through and become a King of Gods?!
All of the branch masters, including Zhuang Tian Heng, were shocked.
Hes become a King of Gods?! Based on the level of comprehension of his law, Wu Hong Qing wont be able to kill him now that hes become a King of Gods! After all, his comprehension is more profound than Wu Hong Qings.
Elder Chu, or Chu Hu Yi, was not only the First Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, but he was also Wu Hong Qings junior granduncle. He has the highest seniority in the Title Temple as well. He was invincible among those below the stage of a King of Gods. Although he was just a rudimentary King of Gods, his strength was almost comparable to an intermediate King of Gods.
For all these reasons, Chu Hu Yi dared to act boldly. Moreover, in his opinion, Wu Hong Qing was likely not an intermediate King of Gods yet. Even if Wu Hong Qing was an intermediate King of Gods, he was confident Wu Hong Qing would not be able to kill him at all even if he was just a rudimentary King of Gods.
The branch masters discussed among themselves through Voice Transmission, afraid of being overheard.
Elder Chus strength is comparable to an intermediate King of Gods even though hes just a rudimentary King of Gods!
Elder Chus comprehension of the law of destruction. His comprehension of the law is one of the most profound in the Title Temple and Devata Realms!
I wonder what the Temple Master is going to do.
Is the Temple Master really going to fight Elder Chu?
Many of them hoped that Chu Hu Yi would remove Wu Hong Qing from his position at this moment. After all, Wu Hong Qings cruel display earlier made them feel uneasy.
Duan Ling Tian smiled. Elder Chu, I didnt expect you to have become a King of Gods. So this is why youre bold...
Chu Hu Yi said icily, Wu Hong Qing, do you really think youre capable of killing me? Its not my intention to look down on you, but I really dont think youre capable of such a feat.
Duan Ling Tians smile vanished abruptly as he said, Vice Temple Master Chu Hu Yi is found guilty of trying to attack the Temple Master. His punishment is death.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian waved his hand.
Ridiculous! Chu Hu Yi cried out as Divine Energy imbued with the law of destruction surged out of his body.
The younger cultivators were shocked by Chu Hu Yis strength. The pressure was so great that some of them began to bleed through their orifices. Fortunately, the branch masters reacted and quickly shielded them. Otherwise, those with weaker cultivation bases might have died.
So this is the energy of a King of Gods?
How terrifying! Although Im close to attaining godhood, I cant withstand his energy at all.
Kings of Gods are truly terrifying! Theyre in a different league.
Boom!
While the branch masters were looking at Chu Hu Yi reverently, a golden palm seal suddenly descended from the sky and slammed Chu Hu Yi into the ground. When the dust settled, everyone saw a huge hole in the ground.
The Temple Master has become so strong?!
Vice Temple Master Chu is almost as strong as an intermediate King of Gods despite only being a rudimentary King of Gods! Even then, hes no match for the Temple Master?
Perhaps, Vice Temple Master Chu was just caught off guard?
Is... Is, is Vice Temple Master Chu dead?
The crowd looked at the huge hole in shock. Fear lingered in their heart as they communicated through Voice Transmission. Although they did not doubt Wu Hong Qings strength, they did not expect him to be so strong. He managed to bury Chu Hu Yi with just one strike.
Come out. Dont pretend to be dead. I held my strength back, after all, Duan Ling Tian said.
Boom!
A loud noise rang in the air as a figure shot out of the hole.
Chu Hu Yis robe was tattered, and he was covered in dirt. He looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly and said, Youre not Wu Hong Qing!
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian laughed. Im not Wu Hong Qing? Elder Chu, is this excuse you came up with now that you realized youre no match for me? Wholl believe such a shoddy excuse?
Chu Hu Yi said frostily, Wu Hong Qing isnt so strong. Who are you? Why did you possess Wu Hong Qing?
Duan Ling Tian laughed. Do you think one would have access to ones full strength after possessing someone?
The branch masters, who were knowledgeable in possession, instinctively shook their heads. With that, the opinion changed.
It seems like Elder Chu refuses to admit defeat.
Thats right. Earlier, it was obvious that he was so bold because he has become a King of Gods. He probably didnt expect the Temple Master to be stronger than him.
Chu Hu Yi heard the words from the branch masters, and his expression turned unsightly. A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked through Voice Transmission, Who are you?
Theres no need for you to know this, Duan Ling Tian said.
Subsequently, with just a wave of his hand, Duan Ling Tian killed Chu Hu Yi in front of everyone. He did not kill Chu Hu Yi earlier because he knew this would have a greater impact on the crowd.
The entire place was silent.
Is there anyone who disagrees with me? Duan Ling Tian asked as he swept his eyes across the crowd.
Needless to say, with the four people serving as an example, no one dared to speak even if they were dissatisfied. Those four were elites in the Title Temple, and yet, they died so easily.
Very good. It seems like theres no more objection, Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded in satisfaction. Then, he continued to say, Since thats the case, Zhuang Tian Heng is now the Temple Master of the main Title Temple, and hell host the Main Title Temple Grand Contest. Ill be going into closed-door cultivation after this.
After a brief pause, Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhuang Tian Heng and said, If anyone tries to find fault with you, you can look for me. Ill help you to deal with them.
After that, Duan Ling Tian looked at the others meaningfully.
Zhuang Tian Heng hurriedly thanked Duan Ling Tian. Thank you, Temple Master!
Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response before he vanished from sight. He was naturally not interested in the Main Title Temple Grand Contest. He was more interested in searching the Title Temples treasure vault to see if there was anything useful for his family and friends.
