There are many high-ranking people entering the party, and there are very few fools among them. Therefore, they know that there is no free lunch in the world.
The God of flesh and blood evolution may be powerful and may bestow many blessings on mankind, but these blessings are never free.
In fact, because the gods of flesh and blood evolution come from the absurd and crazy world of dreams and demons, they are born with a sense of vigilance.
However, thinking that the time between black mist crises was getting shorter and shorter, and humans had to find a way out, these people did not stand up to refute.
On the other side, after celebrating his achievements and looking forward to the future, the black-robed officiant's tone suddenly dropped.
"Over the years, we have smashed many obstacles and doubts and achieved significant results, but now, obstacles appear in front of us again."
"Zhong Chao... I think you are all familiar with his name. He was a handyman from a humble background. Because of his talent and opportunities, he got to where he is now step by step. And now, he has come to Fucheng, hoping to win the first place.
We will never allow this. Believers who have been blessed by God cannot be defeated by an unbeliever!"
Many people understand what the officiant means. Due to past wars and crises, humans are naturally hostile to the gods of the dream world.
If there is great benefit, human beings can resist the malice in their hearts and pray to gods, but if there is little benefit or there are other options, they will never do so.
And now, Zhong Chao has become their test.
If he, who has no faith, defeats Xiaowu Sheng Zhoutong, who was blessed by the gods, and Yunmeng Shaojun, who was trained by them, then an idea will appear in the minds of many aristocratic families.
"Unbelievers who don't worship gods can defeat warriors blessed by gods. If that's the case, why should I take unknown risks to worship gods? Isn't it good to focus on improving myself?"
Once this idea appears, the support of the powerful families for the Sacred Heart of Heaven will definitely be greatly reduced.
This also means that the interests of the chief priest and other members of the Tenri Sacred Heart Sect will be harmed, which they are unwilling to accept.
"For the sake of the God of flesh and blood evolution, and for the future of mankind, Zhong Chao must never be allowed to win."
"Yes, he must fail."
"We cannot let him disrupt our great plans."
But the butt determines the head. Seeing that their interests were about to be damaged, they naturally shouted and supported the officiant's statement.
However, unlike just now when everyone was applauding, this time only a small group of people were shouting enthusiastically.
And when they were shouting happily, a somewhat charming voice sounded.
"We really want to defeat him. We who are blessed by God are far beyond the reach of mortals. Therefore, there is no need to make any pretense. Let's make an appointment with him to fight in three days."
After the voice finished speaking, a rich middle-aged male voice immediately echoed:
"I support Red Fox's statement. As believers in the gods, we have no opponent ahead of us... Defeat him upright and let the world understand the greatness of the gods. This is exactly what we should do."
These words caused some silence in the scene.
The black-robed chief priest and other members of the Tianli Sacred Heart Sect were also silent. They naturally understood the benefits of defeating Zhong Chao in an upright manner, which would make people who originally did not believe in them decide to support them.
However, during the day, the thunderous electromagnetic gun and storm hammer thrown by Zhong Chao made him not have much confidence in his own Xiaowu Sheng and Yunmeng Shaojun.
This attack is so fast and powerful that it is comparable to that of a master.
Therefore, he did not want to face it head-on and wanted to use conspiracy to get rid of Zhong Chao.
It's a pity that he can't say this. After all, this gathering is not only attended by people from his Tianli Sacred Heart Sect, but also representatives of powerful families. If he shows that he lacks confidence, the reputation of their Tianli Sacred Heart Sect will be at risk.
destroyed.
Fortunately, the people of Tianli Sect are not all trash. When he was silent, someone said:
"Ahem, everyone, it is good to defeat nature head-on, but this matter is of great importance and is related to the future of mankind. There cannot be any mistakes. For the future of mankind, we can use some small means. I am willing to bear the infamy..."
He was quibbling, but before he finished speaking, the charming voice sounded, but this time, her words were cold.
"Using conspiracy and tricks? Are you questioning the power of the God of flesh and blood evolution? Do you doubt that we who are blessed by the gods cannot defeat that humble handyman?"
"Uh... no, absolutely not!"
The cultist didn't dare to accept this big hat. After shaking his head and retorting, he said anxiously: "I'm just worried, afraid of an accident..."
He wanted to continue to quibble, but the charming voice gave him no chance.
"Nothing goes wrong. As believers in the gods, we will definitely win. Anyone who suggests using conspiracy and tricks to think that we who have been blessed cannot defeat Zhong Chao is disrespectful to the great God of flesh and blood!"
"..."
This kind of extremely correct political discourse leaves the followers of the Sacred Heart Sect of Heaven at a loss of what to say.
But the counterattack of that charming voice was not over yet.
The believers below were left speechless. The woman who covered her face with a fox mask raised her head and looked at the bishop.
"Master Priest, you said that after the blessing of the God of Flesh and Blood, our strength will be increased a hundred times, and we can avoid the black mist crisis, and even counterattack into the Dream Demon Realm. In this way, we will definitely be able to win in a one-on-one battle.
Zhong Chao. After all, he is just a human being who has not received the blessing. The home that such humans protect is completely incomparable to ours with ten rooms and nine empty spaces ravaged by black mist."
"..."
Seeing the woman wearing the fox mask looking at him and the others waiting for his answer, the black-robed priest knew that he had to take on this battle.
"...You are right, we will definitely win. Let us know that in three...seven days, Xiaowu Sheng Zhoutong will face off against Zhong Chao on Guxin Island."
After saying this, he didn't even have time to say the third thing he had planned, and left with his people.
After leaving aside the agents of the powerful family, someone worriedly said to the black-robed officiant: "Master officiant, are you really going to have a head-on confrontation? That Zhong Chao's strength is somewhat extraordinary."
"I know, but this battle must be fought and won!"
Having said this, he gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates: "Go and find Zhou Tong, and then hold the highest level sacrificial ceremony."
These words made everyone else take a breath of air.
"Hiss...the highest level!"
"Master officiant, the highest level, we don't have enough sacrifices."
"If it's not enough, collect it! Seven days is enough for us to find the sacrifices... This time, we must win. As long as we defeat the handyman head-on, those wealthy families will replenish us ten times and a hundred times what we lose now.
return!"
"Yes, officiant."
Some people immediately responded in agreement, but others said: "Sir, why should we arrange the highest level ceremony for Zhou Tong? Mr. Yunmeng is one of our own."
"I know, but just because he is one of our own, we cannot let him go out to fight... Tell Shaojun, don't let him out these days."
"Not coming out? I understand and will make arrangements immediately."
The believers here are not stupid either, and they quickly understood the purpose of the officiant's actions - to leave a way out for defeat.
In the showdown seven days later, if the Zhou Tong they trained defeats Zhong Chao, then everything will be easy.
But if they don't win, they have a reason. The strongest player on their side has not yet taken the field, which can delay them for some time and find an opportunity to deal with Zhong Chao.
In this way, under the order of the chief priest, the Tianli Sacred Heart Sect got busy and tried their best to improve the strength of Xiaowu Saint Zhoutong.
At Yun Xuanxuan's mansion in Fucheng, someone also sent a letter of challenge.
"Seven days later, at noon, there will be a battle on Guxin Island, Zhou Tongliu!"
