Chapter 640: It's Better to Leave It Alone

East Tianwang City, Zhongcheng District.

Zhongcheng District is the most prosperous area of ​​Dongtianwang City, and there is no concept of the highest power here.

If so.

The headquarters of the Alchemist Association, the headquarters of the Spiritual Formation Master Association, the headquarters of the Artifact Builder Association... and other forces can be regarded as the highest forces in other realms.

But in the middle city, there is also a supreme tribunal that can hang over the heads of many forces - the Holy Temple!

Surrounded by numerous buildings, the holy and majestic Holy Temple is almost the most eye-catching presence, standing at the center of the entire Dongtianwang City protective barrier.

Despite this, a plaque with the four words "Holy Temple Church" engraved on it was hung on the temple.

With just these four words, the forces elsewhere can be overshadowed.

now.

Inside the Holy Temple, in the conference hall.

After seeing off the envoy from Dayuan Mansion in Dongyuan Realm, Cheng Ji pinched his slightly tired brows and raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man on one side, Chu Lisheng.

On the surface, this is the person in charge of this trial in the royal city.

However, the Royal City Trial can be conducted according to the previous rules, and basically there will be no major differences.

So secretly, Chu Lisheng had another mission.

"How's the situation on Void Island going?" Cheng Ji asked.

Chu Lisheng looked away from the back of the envoy from Dayuan Palace towards Luotian Palace, gathered his thoughts, and responded:

"The landing point of Void Island is basically clear. It is undoubtedly Dongtianwang City, and it is impossible to land elsewhere."

"In terms of time, it happens to be scheduled with the Royal City Trial."

"Maybe it will be a little later, or maybe it will fall in the middle of the trial."

"But we are trying our best to prevent the latter situation and try our best not to let Void Island affect the Royal City Trial, but you also understand..."

He paused for a moment, looked back at Cheng Ji, and said with a wry smile: "We stop it, and people inside and outside Void Island push it, so we can only say that we try our best. If we guarantee it, we really can't guarantee it."

"clear."

How could Cheng Ji not know what was going on?

Void Island was exiled to the dimensional void by many semi-saints of the Holy Temple for countless years.

This inexplicable landing must be the result of the joint efforts of all the people inside and outside who are hiding in the dark.

As for those who wanted to land on Void Island, their plans basically focused on the defensive gaps of the Holy Temple.

Years of exile have made those in the Holy Temple less wary of Void Island.

And those people simply took advantage of this opportunity to catch the Holy Temple off guard!

"Where's the news? How is the blockade going?" Cheng Ji asked again.

Landing on Void Island is not too scary.

After all, there have been examples like this before.

All the Holy Temple has to do is to gather manpower to seal it back again to avoid causing harm to the mainland.

certainly.

Before that, by blocking the news so that everyone does not flock to it, casualties can be minimized.

"Don't worry, Palace Master Cheng, we can do a good job of keeping things confidential." Chu Lisheng responded with a smile.

Cheng Ji stared at the old man in front of him for a few breaths, and said with a serious smile: "But as far as I know, Dongtian King City has entered many Taixu families that are not related to the trials in the King City during this period."

He glanced at the empty entrance of the palace, where the envoys heading towards Luotian Palace had already left.

However, during the conversation just now, the other party's words showed that he was not skeptical about the message of "City in the Sky".

On the contrary, I am very confident!

Chu Lisheng was a little embarrassed, but he still said seriously:

"Although we are trying our best to block the information, it is difficult for us to stop some people from obtaining information through some internal channels."

"The only thing we can do now is to minimize the appearance of these people and prevent the news from spreading widely."

"Rat droppings and the like can be found everywhere."

"The interior of the Holy Temple is no exception."

Cheng Ji narrowed his eyes.

He had just taken office, and someone dared to cause trouble under his nose.

This account must be settled when there is free time later.

but now……

"Pay attention to those people one by one and wait until this matter is resolved before we resolve it."

He walked to the window sill, looked at the noisy scene on the street, and said in a solemn voice:

"In addition, the major forces, especially the 'Night Owl' side, you should give it a good beating."

"If something big happens, you and I can't be held responsible, understand?"

Chu Lisheng immediately replied: "Don't worry, Palace Master Cheng, I have visited all the major forces one by one, especially Night Owl. I don't expect them to dare to cause trouble."

"Yeah?"

Cheng Ji looked away from the busy city and landed on a very tall pavilion not far away, "But how could I have heard that they wanted to hold a 'Lingque Trade Fair', and at the meeting, there would be a 'Void Order' clue?"

"this……"

Chu Lisheng hesitated. His head hurt when he thought about it. "The clues of the Void Order are really a surprise. We have basically controlled the clues of the major Void Orders."

"I suspect that the remaining one is a message sent by the black and white pulses inside Void Island."

"You know, those people have been in that place for a long time and have tried all kinds of methods. People can't come out, but it's not impossible to make some small items from inside."

"As for the 'Void Order', its value is immeasurable."

"I went to Yemao, and they were very nice, but this clue is not something that can be given for nothing. The request they gave was to buy it back."

"Buy?" Cheng Ji looked back, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes."

Chu Lisheng responded: "Yemao controls the underground intelligence network of the entire Dongtianwang City. It is powerful, but it has been law-abiding over the years and has not caused any trouble. It has even cooperated with our people and provided a lot of intelligence."

"If we really have to use tough measures, it will be too hurtful."

"If they want money, we will go up and buy it directly. I think that at that time, no one dares not to give face to our Holy Spirit Temple."

Chu Lisheng raised his head slightly.

In Dongtianwang City, the Holy Spirit Temple is the judgment place.

When the time comes, who dares to disobey as soon as it is spoken?

Can those forces that dare to disobey withstand the investigation?

He, Chu Lisheng, dares to say that in such a big Dongtianwang City, no major force can withstand the investigation!

At that time, as long as the Holy Spirit Temple speaks, who dares to mess around?

"Night Cat..."

Cheng Ji murmured, "You just know it."

He knew that the other party was unwilling to give clues easily, and insisted that the Holy Spirit Temple also give face to attend the meeting.

The reason, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than that he has just taken office and his prestige is not great.

There have been too many similar things in this period of time.

All forces are testing.

Testing what is his bottom line!

But these can't be solved now, and they can't be solved.

But the big net is cast, and this matter will eventually have a response.

Cheng Ji's mouth curled up, with coldness.

It took Jiang Bianyan so many years to gain the prestige of the masses from the chaos in the royal city, and then he was like a fish in water, but a white cave battle, all went to waste.

He Cheng Ji didn't have that much time, but he had the Cheng family.

So he didn't plan to follow the gentle old path of Jiang Bianyan. Instead, he wanted to use his iron-blooded skills to unite the entire Dongtian Wang City into a rope through the two events of the Royal City Trial and the Void Island!

Leaning on the windowsill, Cheng Ji temporarily put aside the things here, stared at the tall building not far away for a long time, and asked: "What's the matter with the Pilgrimage Building?"

The ancient building in sight was a landmark when Dongtian Wang City was built in the early days, and its location was the center of the entire royal city.

At that time, Dongtian Wang City did not have the concept of the highest power, and fighting in the city was strictly prohibited.

So this building was also fearlessly pulled to the highest point of Dongtian Wang City, a full ninety-nine floors!

Even all the buildings in the royal city were built with the standard of not exceeding the height of the "Pilgrimage Building".

Even the Holy Temple is the same.

It's just because the direction facing the "Pilgrimage Building" is the headquarters of the Central Domain Holy Temple, which is the faith of the entire Dongtian Wang City.

Later, the supreme forces rose up, the royal city grew stronger, the fighting between the soul refiners was difficult to contain, and the city also relaxed the rules of prohibiting war.

The concepts of "air battle" and "realm battle" also emerged.

But even so, in the battle of the throne and the way of killing, too many high buildings could not escape.

On the contrary, the buildings on the bottom and in the middle were not disturbed by the aftermath of the battle and were preserved intact.

This is why the buildings of the highest forces today are basically only 50 or 60 floors.

The Pilgrimage Building is the only exception.

In the early days of the building, it was listed as one of the three major array eyes of the city protection barrier. Protected by the city protection barrier, it is the only ancient building in the city with a height of 99 floors that has been preserved to this day.

But today, the plaque of the "Pilgrimage Building" has not been taken down.

Outside the door of the bottom floor, a very eye-catching "The First Building in the Sky" was hung!

Cheng Ji frowned.

This is "blasphemy"!

The Pilgrimage Building cannot be sold even if it is empty. ,

How dare someone hang up a plaque, and it is so ridiculous... The First Floor in the Sky? !

Chu Lisheng took a few steps forward and looked down from the window sill. He saw the golden characters at a glance and was stunned.

But then he seemed to remember something and said, "The First Floor in the Sky? I remember that a few days ago, a young master Xu from the Xu family of Taixiang in the Northern Territory also entered the city. I haven't sent anyone to knock him down yet."

"Jiang Xian?" Cheng Ji turned around.

"No."

Chu Lisheng shook his head and said, "The Jiang family has already knocked him down. What they are after is not the Void Island. This Xu family..."

"New here?"

"Yeah."

"Go and see what's going on!"

Cheng Ji really can't stand this rampant "The First Floor in the Sky".

They dare to call themselves like this next to the Holy Temple. Are they not afraid of death?

Chu Lisheng hesitated for a moment and said, "From what I know, the Xu family seems to be a semi-saint family. They had conflicts with the Jiang family before, and Jiang Xian was crushed."

"Oh?" Cheng Ji was surprised.

He had met Jiang Xian before, and he was very dignified.

Even the Holy Spirit Hall could only beat the descendants of such a semi-saint family.

But after beating them, no matter what the other party wanted to do, a mere branch of the Holy Spirit Hall could not really control them.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the other party was not interested in the Void Island.

So the Holy Spirit Hall did not interfere too much.

Chu Lisheng continued: "Although the Xu family is a semi-saint family, I can't find any information about them, but there is a very critical intelligence that we have mastered."

"What?" Cheng Ji asked.

Chu Lisheng replied: "When the old man Xu of the Xu family celebrated his birthday, no one from the Jiang family in the Northern Territory went to celebrate his birthday."

"It seems that it is because of this that Young Master Xu did not give Jiang Xian any face, had a conflict in the street, and even verbally suppressed him."

Cheng Ji tapped the window string lightly with his fingers, frowned and said: "But what does this have to do with the Pilgrimage Building?"

Chu Lisheng looked embarrassed and said: "Did Palace Master Cheng forget?"

"Prior to the preparation of the trial of the King's City by Palace Master Jiang, the exploration of the Void Island, the preparation for the White Cave, and the subsequent compensation..."

"Basically, these things are linked together, and they almost depleted the inventory of the Holy Spirit Hall."

"At that time, under the last resort, and with the approval of the temporary Palace Master sent by the headquarters, we rented out the "Pilgrimage Building" that had been unused for a long time, adhering to the concept that it would be a waste to leave it alone."

"But the rent is too expensive, and no one has taken action until now... Oh no, now there is." He pointed to the plaque of "The First Building in the Sky" and laughed.

Cheng Ji didn't care about that. He was furious when he heard it. He slapped the window and shouted:

"Can this be confused?"

"Jiang Bianyan made a mess of his own, but he wants the faith of Dongtianwang City to make up for the deficit?"

"Also, what is the Pilgrimage Building! That's..."

Chu Lisheng saw that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the opportunity to say: "When you first took office, Master Cheng, you also embezzled a huge sum of money... Oh, yes, it filled the previous vacancy."

Cheng Ji was stunned for a moment, and seemed to remember something.

Chu Lisheng added again: "And the rent of that place is not cheap. After all, it is a faith. It is not for sale, but only for rent. Ten billion a month! And it can be recovered at any time!"

He added a heavy tone to "ten billion" and "recover".

As expected, Cheng Ji's ears moved, and his anger disappeared for the most part. He asked, "How long have they rented it?"

"Half a year."

Chu Lisheng hurriedly replied, "Half a year, 6 billion!"

Cheng Ji lowered his raised hand, covering the broken window string, and silently stared at the ostentatious plaque: The First Building in the Sky.

"Six billion?" he repeated.

"Yeah." Chu Lisheng nodded.

Cheng Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "As expected of the temporary hall master sent by the headquarters, he still has a little foresight. It's okay to put it there..."

"Haha, it's not bad."

Chu Lisheng echoed, also looking at the plaque below, and smiled, "The boy who spreads money, it just so happens that we have to participate in the trade fair, and we are also short of some... Haha, ha!"

"Knock it on." Cheng Ji did not forget the business.

After all, it is a semi-saint family. It inexplicably appeared next to the Holy Spirit Hall, so it still needs to be paid attention to.

Before Chu Lisheng could reply, Cheng Ji paused for a moment and quickly added: "But don't go too far. The Pilgrimage Building... well, the first building in the sky, let them live there first. After all, it's just sitting there anyway."

"I understand, I understand." Chu Lisheng nodded with a smile.
