After a moment of silence, a bishop finally stood up and broke the very awkward atmosphere.

"Master Archbishop, the strength shown by the Wuzhou Dynasty is obviously beyond the ordinary intermediate dynasty. If you force yourself to settle in, you are afraid that the consequences will be unbearable."

The others nodded in agreement and looked at Zhong An one by one.

"What does it mean to be unbearable?" Zhong An's face suddenly became a little gloomy and he said dissatisfied: "The one who settled in this seat is not a local branch, but a southern branch settled in the Wuzhou Dynasty. What else is he not satisfied with? I treat him like a high-level dynasty. Why should he refuse such a good thing?"

"What?"

When he heard Zhong An's words, the bishop who had just spoken changed his expression and immediately looked at Zhong An in shock. The Southern Branch entered an intermediate dynasty, which was unprecedented in the history of the Holy Church.

"Master Archbishop, this matter is quite a matter. If you settle in the name of the Southern Branch, you must send five cardinals in the Yuandan realm, one hundred priests in the Grand Master realm, five thousand holy knights, and zero all the 100000 stones a year. The Wuzhou Dynasty only needs to pay 100 million stones a year to get the treatment of entering the high dynasty, and the headquarters will not agree."

"Yes, there is never a precedent for this matter. If we set a precedent, how can we explain to those high dynasties? Their annual offerings of up to 2 billion stones are just such treatment. The Wuzhou Dynasty only needs to spend one-twentieth of them to get the same treatment. This is impossible."

"Master Bishop, you must not set this precedent. Otherwise, the Southern Tang Dynasty would definitely refuse to pay tribute to the Southern Branch. The Southern Tang Dynasty is a high-level dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Southern Branch cannot afford to offend them."

"That is, the Southern Tang Dynasty paid tribute to our Southern Branch for the sake of the Holy Church headquarters. It is inevitable that the Archbishop's actions will affect the Southern Tang Dynasty's attitude towards our Southern Branch."

In the conference room, the major deacons and bishops all refuted one by one, and they felt that this decision made by Zhong An was not feasible.

Judging from the influence of the Holy Church on the Continent of All living beings, intermediate dynasties are not worthy of their recruitment. Furthermore, the value of the Southern Tang Dynasty is far greater than that of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and they are unwilling to give up the Southern Tang Dynasty, a high-level dynasty with strong capital.

No matter how much the Holy Sect headquarters punishes them, they will not be punished. Zhong An will be the only one who is unlucky. But if this incident makes the Southern Tang Dynasty feel dissatisfied, then there will be more unlucky people. At least one of them in this conference room will be considered one, and all of them will be held hatred by the headquarters.

Although Zhong An, everyone is a supporter of his sect, it does not mean that they are willing to put all their future on Zhong An alone.

Perhaps loyalty can make them climb quickly in the Holy Church, but compared to their own lives, they are more willing to make the latter, making Zhong An unlucky.

"So, do you all here do not want me to join the Wuzhou Dynasty in the name of the Southern Branch?" Zhong An asked in a very bad face and in a very cold tone.

He felt very uncomfortable when he looked at these "confidants". He had never felt relieved since he became the archbishop of the Southern Branch. The local branch stubbornly disobeyed his orders. His subordinates gradually became immersed in power and no longer supported him as fully as before.

"Yes, if the Archbishop insists on doing this, we have to report to the headquarters that all this has nothing to do with us. It is all done by the Archbishop alone. Even if we are held accountable in the future, we will not be involved."

A bishop said solemnly, his words were very firm.

However, Zhong An did not get angry on the spot, nor did he directly remove them from their posts. He just spoke lightly: "Transfer information from the Wuzhou Dynasty."

"Yes! Lord Bishop!"

The loyal servant distributed a stack of intelligence documents to everyone in the conference room.

With a little hesitation, everyone looked at each other and then opened it in confusion and read it carefully. After reading all the intelligence documents, the entire conference room suddenly became a sensation.

"This information must be fake!"

"Impossible, how could a Buddhist sect be behind the scenes that have just been promoted to an intermediate dynasty?"

"It is completely impossible that so many strong people appeared one after another. The Wu Zhou Dynasty did not have this foundation to cultivate so many strong people."

"Zhou Chuan's cultivation is also very strange. In less than a year, he has gone from a warrior to a strong man in the master's realm. There must be strange things here, and there must be great forces behind it to fuel the fire."

"Yes, it must be the Buddhist sect behind the back. The big rooster descended from the Bodhisattva is enough to prove this. And after the Maple Forest Dynasty was destroyed, a Bodhisattva appeared. All these signs indicate that the Buddhist sect was standing behind the Wuzhou Dynasty."

In the conference room, deacons and bishops were talking, and all of them were shocked by the news in the information. These information included the history of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and even the population was recorded.

Everything was very ordinary. Until the invasion of the Demon Shadow power, Zhou Chuan ascended the throne with great strength. The Wuzhou Dynasty rose up in a very short period of time, not only clearing the people of the court, but also defeating the Fenglin Dynasty and becoming an intermediate dynasty.

With all this, their hearts began to gradually shake. If there was really a Buddhist support behind the Wuzhou Dynasty, it would not be considered a special thing for the Southern Branch to enter the Wuzhou Dynasty.

Buddhism is fueling the fire behind it. It is only a matter of time before the Wuzhou Dynasty is promoted to a higher dynasty. They have no doubt about this. The water in Buddhism is too deep, and even their holy teachings may not be as mysterious as Buddhism.

When Zhong An saw the change of emotions among the people, he also showed a smile on his face and said calmly: "This is why I entered the Wuzhou Dynasty in the name of the Southern Branch. There is another reason. The Southern Branch has suffered too much criticism during this period. I hope to take this opportunity to divert the public's attention, and at the same time it is to block the mouths of the bishops of the local branch."

"A intermediate dynasty with a power like Buddhism supported by it, the Southern Tang Dynasty will not have any objection to this. On the continent of sentient beings, Buddhism is a force that is highly respected by them even in high-level dynasties. To be precise, it is afraid of the power of Buddhism."

"And this Zhou Chuan must be someone introduced by Buddhism. He has many masters around him and his descendants of Bodhisattvas are around him. These are enough to prove the truth of the information."
