Chapter 749 Successor

"Your Holiness, what exactly is this..."

"If possible, can we check your ring?" Lord Tongtian asked cautiously.

This is the gap between the times, Xia Fan thought to himself. The accused did not realize that the video could be forged, and the onlookers would not question the content of the video. As long as it was a picture projected from the patio, they would default to it as the truth.

This saved him a lot of effort.

"Please wake up, he is an infected person now, not the Pope you all know!" Xia Fan reminded loudly, "And in such a short period of time, Yao Wu has no time to deal with the funeral, so as long as now Go to Wuji's room and you will definitely find the boy's body."

"No... I don't know these things at all, let alone Master Pingtian -" Wu suddenly coughed violently in the middle of his words, and a large mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth, splattering the table in front of him. But at this time, the others just stood there and watched him warily, and no one dared to step forward to help him.

When he raised his head again, his eyes were completely different from before.

"So...you are Xia Fan?"

Although his voice was weak, it was full of a sense of severity.

"Who are you?" Li Mengyun was the first to react.

The two parties had obviously had a formal meeting, and it was impossible for the Pope not to know Xia Fan. Now that he was saying this, it could only mean that he had become another person!

On the other side, Lord Tongtian also took action.

He jumped up from his seat and rushed towards the chief Pope. Judging from his posture, he did not intend to hurt the other person, but wanted to control the Pope to prevent him from jumping over the wall. After all, Wu Yi is also a person who senses Qi. Once he is infected by evil spirits, he may cause some accidents.

But when Venerable Tongtian held down the Pope's hands, changes had already occurred.

His eyes suddenly became extremely cloudy, and then black gas came out of his ears and mouth.

"He is disappearing -" Lord Qitian exclaimed, "What kind of magic is this?"

The Pope's body quickly shrank, and his head became dry and black. His only two eyes were staring at Xia Fan, not caring about the actions of others, "Silly, you will soon step on The footsteps of those people became monsters wandering in the abyss..."

As soon as the words fell, he completely turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace. The robe collapsed, like an empty shell without a soul.

Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly for a moment.

This way of dying was not unfamiliar to them.

Evil spirits will return to nothingness after death and will not leave any evidence of their existence in the world. However, for an organization that is mainly determined to fight against evil spirits and save the common people, its chief leader died like an evil spirit. This is almost a warning to all A slap in the face for the believers of Salvationism!

Lord Tongtian picked up the ring and said in a gloomy tone, "This ring is fake. He is indeed no longer the Pope."

"Could it be that the person who controlled the Pope's words just now is..."

"Nine times out of ten." Li Mengyun nodded.

An obvious name that comes to everyone's mind.

King Yong.

He is the source of evil infection. Anyone whose soul is corroded will unknowingly become his puppet. It can be seen that the first half of Monoji's reaction came from instinct, but in the second half, it was obviously replaced by another person.

The venue suddenly fell into silence.

The Salvation Cult not only lost two sages and tens of thousands of warriors in one day, but now even the leader who guided them forward no longer exists. No one can accept this kind of blow.

"I have a proposal." Li Mengyun suddenly said.

"What proposal?" Venerable Qitian asked feebly.

"Salvationism cannot live without a leader. According to tradition, all past popes have been listeners." She said slowly, "Now we have just such a listener in front of us."

"Eh?" Xia Fan couldn't help but be startled.

There was suddenly a glimmer of light in the dark eyes of the other two venerables.

"Master Li, what do you mean..."

"That's right. In terms of understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven, I'm afraid even Monoji-sama is far inferior to this listener." Li Mengyun glanced at Xia Fan with her peripheral vision, "You all saw it just now, he is not only It brings stable light to the patio, opens up a quick passage to the 100th floor, and can even monitor the situation in the patio and project the pictures we need at any time. At the same time, he is also a thorn in the eyes and flesh of King Yong. Nail is also an incompatible opponent with the Seven Star Privy Council. Such a person is fully qualified to be the leader of the Salvation Cult."

"But... he works for Her Highness the Princess and is still part of the secular power." Venerable Qitian said with some hesitation, "When the doomsday disaster comes, Her Highness the Princess can give up her own wealth and power and benefit the people of the world. Is it heavy?"

Ning Wanjun frowned and was about to speak, but Xia Fan raised her hand to stop her, "First of all, I don't think that living in seclusion is more suitable for protecting the world. Since most people live in the secular world, how do you think about saving the world? The religious capital should get more deeply involved in the secular world, instead of just hiding in the Baiyao Mountains. The evidence is the population-in the past few decades, you have admitted more than 100,000 people from the Six Kingdoms, and this is only half a year of Jinxia. Results.”

"We are afraid of King Yong and the Seven-Star Privy Council, so we have to——"

"But Jinxia City is not afraid of these threats. This is the benefit of being based on the secular world." Xia Fan spread his hands, "So salvation and the secular world do not conflict, but complement each other. What's more, Her Royal Highness is kind-hearted and has a totally different style of behavior from the Privy Council. , is a rare wise king, so there is no need for you to worry."

Ning Wanjun nodded with satisfaction.

"So what you mean is...are you willing to accept this responsibility?" Li Mengyun raised an eyebrow.

Uh...why does it seem like they said that on purpose? Xia Fan hesitated for a moment, and then he exhaled after a moment, "It's fine if you want me to be the pope, but there is one thing I must say first. That is that heaven is by no means a real paradise. What you have been looking for in the past is not actually It cannot protect against evil spirits.”

"What did you say?" The two venerables were stunned. "The Kingdom of Heaven...can't survive the disaster?"

Xia Fan clapped his hands and showed a picture again.

The "Heaven" that took off quickly jumped out of the protective shield and entered the dark space. However, it was blocked by evil spirits before it could fly far. Balls of fire burst out from the huge fleeing team, which is also the origin of the metal debris floating in the orbit. Although the venerables cannot understand what is fighting in these pictures, it is undoubtedly not a good sign for the kingdom of heaven to suddenly fall into a sea of ​​fire or be torn apart.

In fact, many escape fleets were destroyed when they broke through the siege. The exact number of people who left and where they went is unknown to the escape tower.

"So... was what we were pursuing wrong from the beginning?" Lord Qitian muttered absentmindedly.

Xia Fan sighed. This world is protected by a barrier, and the evil chaotic characteristics will not be too strong. But outside the barrier, or in the orbit between the earth and the moon, what lingers are the original entities of chaos. They are the culprits of the annihilation of mankind, and their consciousness intensity is not at the same level at all. If the escape spacecraft is regarded as an extraterrestrial paradise, the end will never be much better than the floating wreckage in the recorded images.
