Chapter 723 Who Else?
"Good night everyone, my dear Cheng Ji."
Cheng Jipiao climbed onto the high platform and spoke with a smile.
He was not wearing a beast mask, and everyone could see this smiling face at a glance, and when they realized who this face and name were...
"Master Cheng?"
The audience exploded.
Everyone stood up one after another.
"???"
"So, Hall Master Cheng is always in Box 1? I thought it was just a representative of the Holy Temple..."
"Oh my god! Why did Palace Master Cheng come to the scene?"
"Are you afraid something big is going to happen?"
Seeing Cheng Ji, the young people who came out with the elders of their families and sects all looked excited, as if they had seen a legendary idol.
However, the faces of the older generation in the private seats and boxes turned dark.
Some people even contacted Night Owl’s waiter on the spot: “I want to leave.”
However, the only reply they received was: "Sorry, it can't be done."
Many of the highest forces in the major realms in the royal city have already gotten the word out before.
As for the overlord-level forces that are very self-reliant and not afraid of risks, such as Daxian Tianzong, Guiyin Pavilion, etc., they had no intention of leaving early.
Naturally, they did not know the plans of the Holy Temple.
When Cheng Ji appeared, they immediately stood up to leave, but were stopped by the waiter.
"What do you night cats do for food? You didn't even notify Cheng Ji when he came?" Leng Qi, the leader of Daxian Tianzong, was angry.
He really didn't expect that in the No. 1 box, the one who watched him Leng Qi snatch three Void Tokens would be the master of Cheng Jicheng Hall, not an ordinary representative of the Holy Temple.
What the hell, are you letting people have fun playing?
If Cheng Ji arrives at the scene, can something good happen?
When this guy took office as a new official, he didn't even start to burn the first of the three fires.
After holding it in until now, almost the older generation in the royal city knew that this old fox was holding back his ultimate move.
At this moment, Cheng Ji appeared on the scene. In addition to casting spells that he had been preparing for a long time, could he just go on stage to say hello to everyone and make him look familiar?
"Cheng Ji, why are you here?"
Ming Yue, the major of Guiyin Pavilion, was also stunned by her beautiful eyes. She immediately checked her memory and found that tonight, she took a picture of a Void Token.
broken……
It's like being caught on the spot by a judge for doing bad things. They can tell you face to face whether they are alive or dead, without any explanation.
Who wouldn't panic?
This is the headquarters of the King of Hell in Box 122. Huang Quan, the golden masked man in the seat, was a little surprised at this moment.
But he was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Yes, what I can think of, how can the Holy Temple not think of it?"
Bianhuahuakai on one side became worried: "Master Huangquan, then we..."
"It doesn't matter."
Huang Quan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The most I can guess is that the Holy Temple Hall has summoned red and white clothes to search the whole place, but they are just looking for a possibility, and the chance of finding us is not high."
After saying this, even the taciturn Jiuyou Ghost Infant raised their eyebrows.
"White clothes?"
It's like the red coat, the natural enemy of the ghost beast body.
Almost all underground organizations such as the King of Hell are on Bai Yi's blacklist.
In daily dealings, the person I miss the most is also Bai Yi!
When they heard the word "white clothes" coming out, the nerves of Jiuyou Ghost Baby and Flower Blossom on the other side were affected.
But in just a moment, the two of them came back to their senses.
Yes, I was usually afraid of Bai Yi. That was when I was on a mission alone, and I might die if I bumped into Bai Yi.
However, now, both of them are following Mr. Huang Quan.
Mr. Huangquan is not panicking now, how panicky are they?
The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is?
…
On the high platform.
Cheng Ji didn't deliberately suppress it, he just waited for a moment.
After everyone's commotion calmed down and everyone listened attentively, he began to smile and said: "There is something I want to announce."
These words are extremely overbearing.
Everyone could tell that Palace Master Cheng came here not to discuss matters, but with an unquestionable order.
The commotion was unbearable, Cheng Ji ignored it and continued:
"First of all, let me clarify that the matter here is not the fault of Night Owl. It was the Holy Temple Church that took over the entire venue before the transaction ended. It is none of their business."
"Secondly, knowing that everyone is eager to return home, I will not make any other nonsense."
"If you want to leave, everyone can line up and leave through the gate of the fair in order according to the order of the boxes."
Until now, most people are still in the dark.
Someone shouted with determination: "May I ask Palace Master Cheng, why do you act like this?"
Cheng Ji smiled: "It's not for that reason, I just received a rumor... There are some dark forces and ghosts and beasts mixed in at the trade fair, so we need to investigate thoroughly."
With a crash, the audience was shocked.
Dark forces, ghost beast bodies...
Most people were just surprised when they heard it, but it didn't matter to them and kept their heads up.
But.
Thorough investigation...
When this word came out, everyone present could not sit still.
They all know what this means.
Cheng Ji pressed the void, calming all the noise, and then smiled and said:
"Don't panic, everyone. Those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. As long as your criminal level is not high enough to require the intervention of white-coated and red-coated criminals, you can all go home safely tonight."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Box 13 was pushed open heavily.
Leng Qi didn't even wear the animal mask and walked out with a livid face.
"Master Cheng, this is too much!"
"You don't even say hello, but you want to catch them all?"
"When did this royal city become a branch of the Holy Temple Parish Hall?"
"Even though you are the headquarters of the Holy Temple in the Central Region and have announced the city to the outside world, your scope of authority is only responsible for maintaining the stability of the mainland. You have never said that you have the power of life and death over all the forces in the mainland!"
Leng Qi rolled his sleeves.
Everyone in the elegant seats was surprised.
Even though some people had speculated that Box 13 was a hegemon-level force, they were also shocked when they saw Leng Qi appear.
"Sect Master Leng?"
"Daxian Tianzong?"
"Good guy, you deserve to be the Daxian Tianzong, and you deserve to be the overlord-level force!"
"We need people like this to hold up the scene and deal with the rude behavior of the Holy Temple!"
Someone comes forward.
Naturally, some people started to respond.
No one here wanted to be investigated.
The actual authority of the Holy Temple is not as high as the rumors say, and it is not big enough to tower over everyone's heads.
So now.
As soon as Leng Qi came forward, the doors to the various boxes were pushed open one after another.
The leaders and representatives of all the major forces took off their animal masks and stood up.
At this moment, all the guys who used to compete with each other began to support their own alliance of forces.
Because if you don't stand up now, you may really have to kneel down all the way later.
But there are exceptions.
Just like Box 209, just like a small number of indifferent boxes, no one came forward.
"Here we come..." Liu Changqing in the box just stared at this scene, a little amazed.
This situation is developing completely according to the script given by Mr. Xu. It’s amazing!
How could that guy expect that the big forces would rise up to resist?
Although Liu Changqing could understand why the big forces were resisting at this time after looking at the scene.
But before that, everything had not happened, and it was peaceful. How could Mr. Xu figure out people's feelings so clearly?
Zhuge Liang before the incident, Zhuge Liang after the fact...
Those are two completely different concepts!
Looking at Mr. Xu who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa meditating, muttering something, and still immersed in the very mysterious "Semi-Saint Interpretation" state, Liu Changqing sighed: "At this age, we are not like..."
"Be careful."
Mo Mo spoke up at the right time.
She couldn't predict whether the situation would develop as Xu Xiaoshou said.
Just like this, no one would have expected that the person waiting in box No. 1 would be the master of Cheng Jicheng himself.
I believe Xu Xiaoshou never thought of this.
To be honest...
Saw this guy coming out.
Mo Mo only felt that even Xu Xiaoshou somewhat underestimated the importance the Holy Temple attached to the action that was about to begin tonight.
"Why do I feel that these people can't muster the strength to resist?" Mu Zixi looked at the leaders of the major forces who were obviously more powerful, but vaguely felt that the one named Cheng Ji seemed to be more confident?
"I think too..." Xin Gugu was also a little flustered.
"There is a chance!" Liu Changqing began to pray.
He doesn't want to die.
But if there is any action in the Holy Temple tonight, the first person to be investigated is probably him, who wants to exchange information about ghosts and beasts with others in front of Master Cheng of the Holy Temple...
Liu Changqing was heartbroken.
But at that time, no one would have thought that the person in box No. 1 was called Cheng Ji, right?
Xiao Wanfeng scanned the people in the box and felt extremely calm.
Is there anything?
nothing much!
He didn't know what these people were nervous about, and Liu Lu also felt a little uneasy for no reason.
But one look at Mr. Xu...
Xiao Wanfeng was very stable.
As long as Mr. Xu is as calm as himself, this situation should not be a big problem.
He is the successor of the Semi-Saint!
…
on site.
Facing the intimidating crowd around him, Cheng Ji still smiled, but his voice floated up to the sky, looking at the people in the boxes and seats below, and said again:
"You guys are serious."
"This palace has said that this time, white-clothed and red-clothed are taking action. They only pay attention to the dark forces and ghosts and beasts, and do not pay attention to everyone's own family affairs."
"Similarly, the organizations in white and red are above the Holy Temple, which is called 'detachment'."
"They want to investigate people, and the Holy Temple can only do its best to cooperate. I hope you can understand this."
After a pause and looking at the gloomy-looking guys below, Cheng Ji remained indifferent and continued his words of persuasion:
"You are all the heads of major forces. Naturally, you understand how difficult it is for these seniors who have been fighting on the front line to stabilize the mainland for so many years."
"When they have information, they will naturally investigate thoroughly."
"Don't worry! This time is really not a thorough investigation of the Holy Temple. It will not endanger your business, industry and a series of practical problems..."
"Master Cheng!" Leng Qi, below, became impatient and interrupted loudly.
Cheng Ji narrowed his eyes and turned to look over.
If he remembered correctly, this person had always been the one setting the pace.
Leng Qi sneered and said, "Hall Master Cheng made a grand statement, saying that the seniors in white and red are going to perform tasks, but in my opinion, these are not just words, right?"
"Can you guarantee that during this thorough investigation, apart from the seniors in white and red, there will be no threshold like the Holy Temple?"
Cheng Ji was about to reply, but Leng Qi interrupted him with a high voice:
"Palace Master Cheng!"
"Some things can't be resolved just by doing this tonight."
"Even when Palace Master Jiang was still here, we all had a cooperative, competitive, and give-and-take relationship with our various forces."
Leng Qi looked at the people around him, and everyone nodded repeatedly, looking like they approved. He then turned back to look at Cheng Ji.
"Your attitude..."
Raising his head high, Leng Qi had a sarcastic look in his eyes: "Superior? To be honest, I don't like it very much!"
Cheng Ji's smile froze on his face.
At this moment, he was in the sky, and Leng Qi and others were on the second floor.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he was superior.
But this is not important!
The important thing is...
Since Cheng Ji took office, countless people have pointed fingers and said this and that.
Inside and out, it was nothing more than:
"This matter was not done well, and it lost the demeanor of the then Lord Jiang."
"That matter was done without pattern. If it was the previous Lord Jiang, he would definitely not do it this way."
Cheng Ji thought, he was not Jiang Bianyan!
Jiang Bianyan was a good man, gentle and tender, and he used the means of Yin to overcome Yang. He, Cheng Ji, even disdained it.
Why do people always mention such a predecessor in front of him?
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Cheng Ji's eyes widened slightly, his beard and hair fluttered, and his hands tightened, and Leng Qi was pulled up in mid-air.
The scene was about to explode.
Everyone below shrank in their hearts and immediately became nervous.
Cheng Ji was not Jiang Bianyan.
He had the Cheng family behind him, and he was also a slasher.
Now, the slasher war is about to begin?
However, the situation was not as everyone expected.
Leng Qi, who was held in the air, laughed instead of getting angry: "Palace Master Cheng wants to touch me? I just don't know, Palace Master Cheng, what identity do you plan to use to touch me?"
"Individual?"
"Son of the old man of the Cheng family?"
"Or, the identity of the Palace Master of the Holy Spirit Hall?"
Leng Qi did not resist at all.
He was also a slasher, but he was held in the air like this, without any image, but he firmly believed that Cheng Ji would not dare to make a move.
Because no matter what identity Cheng Ji had, it was impossible for him to make a move.
As soon as he made a move, he was finished!
All identities were finished!
The plan of the Holy Spirit Hall tonight would be completely ruined in the resistance of everyone in the future!
Who would have thought that Cheng Ji was so angry that he was still sober.
He loosened his hand that controlled the binding rules, and no longer looked at Leng Qi, but turned his eyes to look at the people below.
"I just saw that Master Leng was unwilling to be overpowered, so I asked someone to come to the air. Don't panic."
Changing the subject, Cheng Ji glanced at everyone below with a cold eye and said lightly:
"But I also want to know..."
"Who else is unwilling to be overpowered and wants to resist the search orders of the white-clothed and red-clothed?"
Leng Qi's sarcastic smile froze in the air.
Resist the search orders of the white-clothed and red-clothed?
How could he have said that?
If Cheng Ji put the blame on him, he would probably die on the spot!
"Master Cheng is going too far. Leng has never said that I want to resist..." Leng Qi struggled to defend himself.
However, before he finished speaking, Cheng Ji looked past him as if no one was around, continued to stare at the bottom with a cold eye, and interrupted directly:
"I will ask one last question."
"Those who want to stand in this position, want to resist the search orders of the white-clothed and red-clothed..."
"Who else, stand up!"
