Chapter 168 Spiritual Leader
……

Wu Wen ignored these people.

Enter directly into the palace.

In front of many Turkic people, he sat directly in the seat representing the Khan, and Ashina Simo also stood obediently beside him.

How could these people not understand that Wu Wen and Ashina Simo were in the same group, or that Ashina Simo had already defected to the Tang Dynasty long ago.

However, although some people were afraid of Wu Wen and dared not speak out, there were also some who were stubborn and not afraid of death.

A Turkic noble stood up and shouted at Ashina Simo:
"Ashina Simo, I didn't expect you to defect to the Tang people. You are simply a disgrace to us Turks. You are not worthy of being a Khan at all!"

Looking at the person who jumped out in front of him, Wu Wen asked Ashina Simo: "Who is this person?"

"He belongs to Tuli Khan..."

Ashina Simo was about to introduce him, but Wu Wen simply waved his hand and interrupted, "Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing who he is."

As he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo, who understood what he meant, immediately stepped forward and chopped off the Turkic noble's head with one knife.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, hitting the hearts of others like a heavy hammer, causing several people who originally wanted to speak to shut up and step back.

Wu Wen glanced at them, a smile on his face: "It seems that no one has any objections now."

However, Ashina Simo said, "My Lord, if I want to truly become the Great Khan, I still need to hold a sacrifice and receive the blessing of the High Priest."

When Wu Wen heard the word "high priest", he instantly thought of the feud between him and the Turkic high priest.

He had previously killed a priest, and also two people sent by the high priest.

If these things were to be exposed, I am afraid that under the influence of the high priest, the entire Turkic people would target him.

Therefore, this high priest also needs to be dealt with.

Wu Wen raised his hand to signal others to go down.

The only two people left in the palace were Ashina Simo and Cheng Chumo, standing on either side of him.

"Ashina Simo, where is the place of sacrifice for you Turks? Who are the people around the high priest?" Wu Wen asked.

Hearing Wu Wen's question, Ashina Simo's eyes widened immediately, because he understood the meaning behind Wu Wen's words.

He said anxiously and nervously: "This won't do. The high priest represents Changshengtian. If we attack the high priest, it will be equivalent to being an enemy of all Turks."

Cheng Chumo was also frightened by Wu Wen's idea.

Taking action against the Turkic high priest is undoubtedly equivalent to digging up the ancestral graves and ancestral halls of the people in a place after conquering that place. This is a fight to the death.

Therefore, Cheng Chumo also advised: "My Lord, you must be cautious about this matter!"

"What do you mean by cautious? I'm just asking." Wu Wen said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo and Ashina Simo both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's stop here. Ashina Simo, arrange a secluded place for me to rest; Cheng Chumo, you pass the news here back to the Tang Dynasty." Wu Wen ordered.

Then, Ashina Simo brought Wu Wen to a palace to live in, while Cheng Chumo arranged for someone to pass the news of Wuchuan City back to the Tang Dynasty.

into the night.

Wu Wen is still practicing.

I have been rushing around and fighting these past two days, and my cultivation has been delayed.

Now that things are done, cultivation naturally cannot stop.

And in Wuchuan City, in Dajin Mountain to the west.

In a valley.

It is the place where the Turks hold sacrifices.

The high priest of the Turks is here.

At this time, a group of Turkic noble leaders came here and explained to the high priest what had just happened in Wuchuan City.

The high priest stood in front of a cylindrical stone statue, leaning on a wooden staff and said, "I am the high priest. I will not participate in the struggle for the kingship."

Halfway through his words, the high priest suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, and he said, "But, that Tang man must be dealt with."

Upon hearing this, the leader of this group of Turkic nobles immediately smiled.

The reason why Ashina Simo was able to become Khan was because of this Tang man. As long as this Tang man died, they could also compete for the position of Khan.

The reason why the high priest targeted Wu Wen.

One is that he may have killed a priest.

The second reason is that Wu Wen had a very bad reputation among the Turks.

Wu Wen's two attacks on the Turkic Khan had already created great psychological pressure on the Turks, which was something he would never allow.

This bad reputation has already frightened the Turks.

As the spiritual leader of the Turks, the high priest would never allow anyone to influence the status of Eternal Blue in the hearts of the Turks.

Wu Wen's reputation, which frightened the Turks, was affecting their spirit.

This is just like the Han Chinese of the past!

Therefore, he must die!

This is the only way to eliminate his influence in the hearts of the Turks.

The war is over.

Wu Wen handed over all the affairs to Cheng Chumo and Ashina Simo to handle.

And I devoted myself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

As long as all the matters in Wuchuan are dealt with, he can return to Dingxiang.

But in order to deal with him, the Turkic high priest has quietly come to Wuchuan City.

Inside the palace.

Ashina Simo is enjoying fine wine and delicious food.

A Turkic guard suddenly came to him and told him that the high priest had arrived in Wuchuan City and wanted to summon him.

Upon hearing this, Ashina Simo was shocked.

Although the high priest's sudden appearance here was expected, his purpose was not simple.

But out of respect for the high priest, he hurried to pay his respects.

In a luxurious mansion in the city.

Ashina Simo not only met the high priest, but also discovered that a group of Turkic noble leaders had also gathered here.

Seeing this situation, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Ashina Simo!"

The high priest called softly, leaning on his wooden staff.

Ashina Simo immediately stepped forward and knelt down to pay his respects: "High Priest!"

The high priest stretched out the wooden staff in his hand, tapped his back, and said in a deep voice:
"Eternal Heaven told me that a demon has come to Turkic. We Turks must work together to eradicate this demon so that Turkic can continue to be peaceful."

Ashina Simo knew in his heart that the demon the high priest was talking about was Wu Wen.

He raised his head slightly and explained: "High Priest, Lord Wu is not a demon, he is the Marquis of Dingxiang and the Governor of Anbei of the Tang Dynasty.

He appeared in the Turks because I invited him to help me become the Great Khan."

Hearing his rebuttal, the high priest's eyes suddenly changed, and the strength in his hands increased. The wooden stick directly pressed Ashina Simo's upper body down, tightly against the ground.

"Are you questioning Changshengtian's instructions?" the high priest said majestically.

"Don't dare!"

Ashina Simo answered respectfully, and then continued to refute: "High Priest, my business is only about the fight for the position of Great Khan. As the High Priest, you should not interfere in these matters.
