Chapter 691 If You Can’t Fight Alone, Fight in a Group!

(PS: Sorry, it’s a bit late. I originally wanted to post it in one chapter, but later I found out that it was not the same content, so I separated it.)

The secret meeting didn't start well. As Byron sat down with a livid face, the issue about Xia Wei'an's previous outburst was temporarily revealed. Of course, this is far from over...

Holding his forehead, the white-bearded old man looked around and said after careful consideration: "Everyone, the situation is very troublesome! The affairs of the Bounty Hunter Guild must not be exposed, but I don't need to say more about Xia Wei'an's character. Everyone here knows it. Now that she knows about this..."

After a pause, he sighed again and emphasized, "In short, it's a big trouble!"

Several bishops lowered their eyes when they heard this and said nothing. They are all mature people, so they don't know how difficult this matter is. But just like the attitude of the white-bearded old man, they were all concerned about Xia Wei'an, who had outstanding achievements and great reputation, and naturally they were unwilling to express any opinions.

After a dull moment, Byron snorted coldly and took the lead to break the deadlock: "Huh, what else is there to say? Xia Wei'an can't stay!"

"Hey..." Even though everyone had vaguely thought about this possibility, when they heard Byron say it so straightforwardly, they couldn't help but take a breath and their expressions changed, "This is a bit too much. Forget it. Regardless of Xia Wei'an's merits and reputation, this is still a holy knight commander after all..."

"Then what do you think we should do!" Byron slapped the table and waved his hands in an extremely annoyed manner, "Explain? I've explained it before, but what's the result? How about you guys try it?"

"Uh..." After hearing this, several bishops immediately stopped talking and went to explain to Xia Wei'an that the Bounty Hunter Guild was just... They looked up at the bloody wound on Byron's forehead, and the corners of their mouths twitched. Well, let’s not make such jokes…

Feeling the focus of several people's eyes, Byron's face suddenly darkened, and then he thought of something, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "As I said just now, everyone knows who Xia Wei'an is. If she exposes this matter, no matter what , she will definitely take action on this matter, and it will get out of hand and spread to the General Assembly, you, you, you..."

He pointed at the bishops present one by one, and then pointed at himself, "Who else can bear this responsibility?"

The atmosphere in the secret room suddenly changed. Several bishops frowned in unison upon hearing this, their expressions were somewhat gloomy and uncertain.

Although Byron's words are a bit alarmist, it is almost the same as the truth. The holy Temple of Light actually colluded with the dirty Bounty Hunter Guild, and it was revealed by a Holy Grand Knight. This huge scandal spread...

Everyone's hearts trembled. Not to mention how the believers would react, they, the leaders of the Northern Temple, would definitely not be able to escape the sanctions of the General Assembly.

Thinking of this, the attitude of the bishops suddenly changed, and the atmosphere of the meeting became lively for the first time.

"Bishop Byron is right. The attitude of the General Assembly must be taken into consideration..."

"Oh, it's Xia Wei'an after all..."

"So what? The establishment of the Bounty Hunters Guild was approved by previous generations of popes and has continued for hundreds of years. Compared with this, just a Holy Grand Knight Commander, well, it's nothing..."

"Yes, even if such a thing comes to the General Assembly in the end, the Pope should understand our approach..."

…

It was a matter of their own. Even if they hesitated in their hearts, several bishops could not help but make up their minds and expressed their support for Byron.

"Ahem..." Glancing left and right, Byron couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing these remarks. Obviously, everyone's attitude was as he expected. He coughed a few times and said again, "Since everyone has nothing Opinion, let’s discuss the details now. Well, who can kill...defeat Xia Wei’an?”

At the last turn of the words, Byron knew clearly that even though everyone agreed with him now, if he wanted to directly kill Xia Wei'an, he still had a lot of concerns. This could only be used as a last resort. The first thing is to defeat and capture her alive.

But even so, after Byron's suggestion, the secret room couldn't help but become quiet again. The bishops looked at each other with a bit of bitterness on their faces.

Yes, who can defeat Xia Wei'an?

After a moment of silence, someone suggested, "How about Master Seaborn? He is also in the temple now."

"Xiburn, I heard that he is about to reach the realm of magister. This strength is enough, but..."

"No! It's not like you don't know about Seaborn's temper and his eccentric personality. There are not many people in the temple who can communicate with him, but Xia Wei'an is one of them... So not only can't he know about this matter, but we also have to find him. A reason to send him away from the temple."

"Yes... what about Raizel? He is also the Holy Knight Commander, and he is ranked ahead of Xavian."

He smiled bitterly, "Him? Haha, let's forget it... Although he and Xia Wei'an are fiercely competitive and have a bad relationship, I heard that he was defeated by Xia Wei'an in a private contest."

"Uh...is this the case?"

"Well, although it's just a rumor, but with Raizel's headstrong character, he has never come out to refute it, this rumor is 10% true. If it weren't for the fact that the official competition between knight captains is once every three years, his I'm afraid the ranking has already fallen behind Xia Wei'an."

…

After some discussion, the bishops who had not thought of a suitable candidate looked at each other and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

There are naturally many experts in the Temple of Light, and there are also many in the Northern Temple. But there are really not many people who can meet the stringent conditions of being in the temple, ensuring that they can defeat Xia Wei'an, not being disgusted with this matter, and having no personal relationship with Xia Wei'an, etc.

At the end, Byron frowned and said, "Actually, we thought wrong. There is no need to find someone with higher strength than Xia Wei'an. As long as they are similar, we can achieve our goal by finding a few more."

"Uh... good idea." Several bishops were stunned when they heard this, and then nodded in agreement.

If you can't fight one on one, fight in groups. It's a very simple principle. In the temple, there are not many people who are guaranteed to defeat Xia Wei'an, but if they are just about the same strength, then this candidate is still a good choice.

Narrowing his eyes, Byron continued: "Just in case, I have someone else to choose from. Well, how about Rust? He is now in a town not far from the temple."

"Rust...uh, which Rust?"

"Former Holy Grand Knight Commander, Xavian's spearmanship teacher Rust?"

"Rust would take action against his student Xavian...Bishop Byron, if this is humor, obviously it is not funny."

"No, this is not a joke." After waving his hand, Byron said calmly, "It's true that Rust is Xavian's teacher, but he is not a stubborn person. As long as we make it clear to him that Xavian will bring Serious consequences, for the sake of the overall stability of the temple, he will agree and help us. After all, this is also for Xia Wei'an's safety."

I have to say that if Rust's character is really like this, then Byron's words still make sense. The bishops pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.

At this point, the prototype of an action plan against Xia Wei'an came out.

The white-bearded old man nodded on the table, closed the coffin and said conclusively: "Then let's do it. In the temple, people like Seaborn should think of some reasons to send them all out of the Holy Light City. And Zachary, don't let him Meet Xavian. It doesn’t matter whether he dies or not, but I don’t want to see the temple being demolished again. Well, as for outside the temple, send someone to contact Grand Knight Commander Rust and select several other candidates. Well, this must be done Hurry! Finally..."

After a pause, the white-bearded old man stood up and looked around with a solemn expression, "Everyone, we are now saving a martial arts genius that is rare in the temple for a century, so no one can back down. Except for Bishop Byron, we all have to try to communicate with Xia Wei'an. . If we can explain it clearly to her, that would be great. And if communication fails... we can at least stabilize her and prevent her from leaving Holy Light City!"

Although they knew that the possibility of successful communication with Xia Wei'an was almost negligible, everyone still nodded after hearing this. Of course, this is not because of the glorious mission of 'saving geniuses', they are not that great. To put it bluntly, this is just for their own future...

Moreover, there are some things that don’t need to be said. Defeating and killing are two completely different concepts, and the former is much more difficult than the latter. So if Xia Wei'an is stubborn and refuses to obey, and fights to the end, then... they can't be blamed!
