Chapter 891 – Who Will Stand in Front of Him? (2/2)

If he was already at Holy Maiden Peak but chose not to appear, then this was even better news.

Because this meant that he thought that Chen Changsheng should hand over the evil dragon.

Countless gazes looked away from the gray sky and back to Chen Changsheng on the platform, displaying a diverse array of emotions.

There was delight, anxiety, apathy, and also a great deal of anger.

Wuqiong Bi began walking to Chen Changsheng, her eyes as cold as ice. The horsetail whisk began to move on its own, throwing the air into a frightening turbulence.

Hu Thirty-Two, the archbishop from the southern church, and the ten-some priests were already at Chen Changsheng's side.

With just them, how could they oppose an expert of the Divine Domain?

Scholartree Manor's group was quiet while the disciples of Mount Li speechlessly looked at each other. Gou Hanshi was in a pensive mood while Tang Thirty-Six was looking thoughtfully at Bie Yanghong.

Was it really as Wuqiong Bi said? Was there no one that could protect Chen Changsheng?

This place was Holy Maiden Peak. If there was someone who had the ability to change the situation, it was naturally South Stream Temple.

The Orthodoxy had split into the north and south, but in regards to the sanctity of the Daoist faith and in external matters, they had always been in step with each other.

In the past, South Stream Temple would assuredly have kept Chen Changsheng safe, as he was the Pope. However, with the matter of closing the temple, the two sides had engaged in a fierce conflict. Chen Changsheng's stance was unprecedentedly hardline. Presumably, South Stream Temple, or at least those three martial grandaunts, would not have a different view on this duty.

Just as expected, just when Ping Xuan and Yi Chen were prepared to say something, they were interrupted by a cold snort.

”Since it's a suspect in a murder case, that evil dragon should come out and give a statement, even if it's my Orthodoxy's Protector.”

Huai Bi looked at Chen Changsheng and said, ”If Your Holiness continues to strenuously protect it, one cannot help but suspect… that the evil dragon really was instigated by you. If true, your morality is lacking, and so what right do you have to sit on the throne of the Pope? How can you still have the right to comprehend the laws of the church and concern yourself with the matters of my South Stream Temple?”

Her words were harsh, and also malicious. They immediately removed South Stream Temple from this matter and pushed Chen Changsheng into an incredibly passive position.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaolian could no longer keep silent. She regarded Chen Changsheng as one of her idols and in no way believed these criticisms. Grasping her sword, she charged to the front of the platform and angrily yelled to the crowd on the plateau, ”His Holiness the Pope is not that sort of person!”

Fuming, Huai Bi snapped back, ”Sinful disciples, what do you plan to do!”

Ye Xiaolian did not turn her head.

Wuqiong Bi slowly approached, an indescribable might and pressure accompanying her.

Ye Xiaolian was currently at the upper level of Ethereal Opening, an excellent achievement given the time she had cultivated, but how could she directly confront an expert of the Divine Domain?

Even though Wuqiong Bi was still around a hundred zhang away, even though Wuqiong Bi was not intentionally pressuring her opponent, Ye Xiaolian's face instantly paled, her hands beginning to tremble.

But she did not yield, and soon after, several more disciples of South Stream Temple rushed in front of Chen Changsheng.

At this sight, even Ping Xuan, whose head had remained bowed ever since she was asked about closing the temple, finally raised her head.

She was well aware of what the Holy Maiden would do.

She calmly declared, ”Form the sword array!”

Countless cracks echoed through the mountains.

Countless sword glows illuminated the gloomy sky.

Several dozen girls rushed in front of Chen Changsheng and formed the world-famous sword array of South Stream Temple.

Just like it was in Mount Han, and just like it was in the Orthodox Academy.
