Chapter 683: Chapter 649: This is our Forr Sect Hierarch_2
Do they not know that if Invincible assus religious authority, how many people in the Light God Sect will perish unjustly? How many families will be broken and lives lost?
Wanyan Layman also furrowed his brows deeply, remaining silent.
He actually did not wish to see the Light God Sect splinter; as a Vice Sect Hierarch of the grand Sect, he held a share in it. How could Wanyan Layman wish to see it fragnt?
However, Wanyan Layman also did not want to see King Ming and the Invincible Dharma King’s authority and prestige beco too overwhelming.
Shancai Divine Envoy Zhao Chongling was also fraught with worry; he was concerned about the finances of the Divine Sect.
The miracle perford by ‘King Ming’ at the grand assembly of Guang Ming, although it prevented the Sect from splitting, did not resolve the financial crisis and predicant of the Light God Sect.
Waging war against Da Cheng Country requires substantial financial support, and once all parties start to join forces to besiege them, revenue from the various districts and branches of the Sect will inevitably plumt. Where would they find the finances to contribute to the Main Temple then?
This heavy financial pressure would inevitably further percolate down to the believers.
At this mont, the Red Priests were engaged in a heated argunt.
“His Highness King Ming is utterly muddle-headed. How could he let the Invincible Dharma King beco the Regent Deputy?”
“I think this one is secretly weak and incompetent. He is already recognized and convinced by everyone in the Light God Sect as King Ming; why hand over religious authority to Invincible?”
“And that bastard Heavenly Blade Dharma King, has he gone mad? He has been a Dharma King for over a hundred years, now he goes wagging his tail to Invincible, isn’t he afraid of being laughed at by the brothers in the Sect?”
“I’m even more worried about the Beicheng District; once the fighting starts, it will bring continuous calamity! In fact, at this ti, it would be a better strategy to yield and avoid the sharp edges, wait until the Three Gods of Purgatory stir up a demonic wave, and when Da Cheng Country is too busy to care, the Beicheng District can still make a resurgence.”
“Indeed! In reality, the Divine Sect could negotiate with Da Cheng Country to buy ti for our Sect; even if we have to ask the believers to pay a little more in taxes, it is still better than starting a war.”
“Damn it! Invincible wants our district to either send over the armies of our branch to the Protection Army and pay this year’s tributes to the Main Temple in full, or make up for the contributions of the past two years. Does she not know what’s going on with this sum of money? It has all been swallowed by Elder Wan Xin.”
Upon hearing this, Shancai Divine Envoy Zhao Chongling couldn’t help but sneer slightly.
If this guy hadn’t stuffed Silver Coin into Elder Wan Xin’s pockets, how could he have been promoted so quickly to ‘Cardinal Red Priest’?
The Light God Sect has over a hundred Eighth Realm Red Priests in the Main Temple alone. Only a part of them with particularly strong Bloodline Abilities and especially strong and pure Divine Fire could beco leaders of important departnts or district and branch managers, usually referred to as Cardinal Red Priests.
However, ever since Elder Wan Xin was appointed by the forr Sect Hierarch fifty years ago to assist in wielding religious authority, not just one but several Red Priests with insufficient achievents and strengths below the Super Emperor Rank have been appointed as Cardinals, which has led to dissent among the Sect mbers and inefficiency.
Zhao Chongling thought that Invincible’s rise might have so advantages; it could sort out the finances and also track down the original sources to rectify wrongdoings and evil practices to a certain extent.
However, the next sentence discussed by these people made Zhao Chongling’s expression turn grim.
“Do you know that the Earth Federation is about to embargo our Divine Sect; materials below the Sixth Realm will be ignored, but sensitive materials above the Sixth Realm, including injections, armants, various war machines, etc., will all be banned.”
“How could this be? These Heavenly Demons, they truly are not of our kind, and their hearts must be different. Aren’t they afraid we’ll run out of supplies?”
“Run out of supplies? Who would buy our goods if we don’t sell them to those Outer Heaven Demons? It was always goods nobody wanted in the past.”
“Not only this, but they have also banned all Surgical Implantation procedures. I had an appointnt with a very reliable Prosthetic Doctor, but now he has broken the contract, saying that the Federation issued a warning to him; if he dares to perform armant procedures for us, they will severely punish him.”
“The ssage has co from the Heavenly Demon side; as long as Invincible Dharma King is willing to step down, or Invincible dissolves and destroys the Starship Fleets under her command, they will lift the embargo—”
At this ti, there was a sudden silence in the hall; everyone looked at each other, their expressions indescribable.
Zhao Chongling noticed that about a dozen people in the hall were intentionally or unintentionally looking at him, but he couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Although Invincible, after becoming the Regent Deputy Sect Leader, reached out to his ‘Shancai Holy Hall’ imdiately, she did not directly seize his position. Since Zhao Chongling did not have much individual interest in the local area, it was not his turn to step up now.
Even if Zhao Chongling was dissatisfied with Invincible, he had no intention to sabotage her during these difficult tis for the Divine Sect.
He was rely curious about what Invincible’s purpose was in collecting so many ‘Starships’?
As far as he knew, the Five Great Abysses had always been accumulating Starships with the help of ‘chanical God Temple’ and the Heavenly Demon smugglers; just Great Song alone reportedly had 200 Starships of various models.
However, the Starships under Invincible Dharma King already equipped with the so-called ‘Quantum Migration Device’ reached 80 vessels, in addition, there were over 240 more Warships with the potential for Starship refitting.
What exactly does this woman intend to do, as the Light God Sect is already struggling to resist the encirclent of All Gods, does she really plan to attack the Heavenly Demon Origin?
“Enough!”
At this mont, Wanyan Layman put down his wine glass: “There is a saying among the people, ‘When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.’ At this critical ti for the Divine Sect, we must unite our hearts and et the challenges together. It’s okay to vent grievances in front of , but if you dare to openly promote or put your foolish thoughts into action, I will be the first to be rciless to you.”
