supreme deity

Chapter 624: Rage (Subscribe)
Almost at the same time, in front of a pavilion in the easternmost corner of the shrine, Han Baxian presented the document sent by Lin Hao to the Grand Astrologer of the shrine.

Dasitian did not reach out to take it. He just took a glance and understood the content of Lin Hao's document.

"Have they retrieved the fragment of the sacred stele from my Dongzhou? Or did they take it from the Ming King?"

The Grand Astrologer of the Divine Palace was slightly surprised and then frowned: "What exactly happened?"

Three months ago, the Grand Astrologer concluded that the possibility of Lin Hao and his apprentice retrieving the three fragments of the divine tablet was extremely slim.

Although he had used stargazing to estimate that the three fragments were still within a 5000-li radius around Luojing, the problem was that this range was too vast. Even if all the troops of the entire Song Dynasty were mobilized, it would be impossible to completely block it.

Especially those demons from hell, they are like a group of moles, digging holes everywhere and are hard to guard against.

Those masters of the Ninth Realm Super Emperor level can move freely in and out of the army of 100,000, and can even escape thousands of miles away with a single move.

Therefore, only masters of the same level can make them feel fearful. At the very least, only the next level "Deputy God's Envoy" level can have the ability to slightly restrict them.

In this situation, unless the God remains awake for thirty to fifty days and uses His omnipotent power to search the heaven and earth and check everything one by one, it will be difficult for them to find the whereabouts of the fragment.

Dasitian never expected that Purgatory would jump out on its own initiative. In order to lure Lin Hao to death, they even used the "fragments of the divine monument" as a bargaining chip and exposed themselves at Jingdong River Pass.

Judging from the images transmitted from Jingdong River Pass and the various information held by the Grand Astronomical Observer, the three fragments of the divine tablet seemed to have really fallen into their hands.

Dasi Tianer didn't expect that after Luo Wangshu and his apprentice stepped into the trap prepared by Purgatory, they not only escaped unscathed, but also actually retrieved a piece of debris.

But why from that Ming Wang?
"Master, please look!"

Han Baxian pulled out several more letters from his sleeve, along with a black object resembling a brush handle, and presented them to the Grand Astronomical Master. "These are messages sent to me by several individuals who participated in the battle. They detail the events of the battle. Among them, Wang Chenghua, the commander of the Demon Slaying Bureau, even recorded the scene with this portable camera pen, which originated from the Heavenly Demon."

"Wang Chenghua?"

The Great Astronomical Master knows this person, the current commander of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, an eighth-level emperor, and a third-rank great celestial official with a promising future!
If it weren't for the last time when the Tianxiang Divine Envoy was kidnapped, this person would have been promoted to the second-rank deputy Divine Envoy within a year and sent to a local area.

From the case of the robbery of the Tianxiang God's envoy, we can know that this person is a typical old fox in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Not only is he ruthless, but he also lacks loyalty to the gods.

He then raised his hand and summoned the letter and camera pen from Han Baxian's hand.

The Grand Astronomical Officer first read the letters, and then skillfully released the images from the portable camera.

However, although this portable camera pen is a high-end model sold by Tianmo, when Luo Wangshu and Ming Wang were fighting with all their strength, the images it could capture were extremely limited.

In that situation, even Tianmo's top-level situation sensing equipment probably wouldn't be able to capture anything.

The Grand Astronomical Master then fell into deep thought: "So, the real fragments of the divine tablet have always been in the hands of the Ming Wang. Lin Hao's claim that the Demon Cult Ming Wang is colluding with Purgatory is clearly exaggerated."

Since the real fragments of the divine stele are in the hands of Ming Wang, the ones that Purgatory took out must be fake.

It is very likely that those demons in purgatory are indeed capable of forging information.

As for why Lin Hao said in the document that the Demon Cult's Ming Wang was colluding with Purgatory, his purpose was to exaggerate the enemy's overall combat power and thus shirk responsibility.

In Dasitian's opinion, this is human nature. Lin Hao is obviously unwilling to go deeper into the mine and continue taking risks.

However, the nature of this is different from Wang Chenghua's. The master and apprentice Lin Hao and Luo Wangshu have demonstrated their loyalty and fulfilled their duties.

The previous theatrical stele was taken away, but to be honest it wasn't the fault of Luo Wangshu and his apprentice. It was actually quite unfair to them.

"Master, you will understand!" Han Baxian bowed with admiration and said, "So the situation is very troublesome now. I can only ask Master for the decision."

"I understand what you mean. Lin Hao and Envoy Luo Shen may continue to go all out, but they will definitely prioritize stability."

Dasitian rubbed his brows, thinking that if he couldn't get back the other two fragments, then the Song Dynasty would never be able to regain the face it had lost.

However, this master and disciple pair will definitely not take risks again.

Even the Grand Astronomical Master couldn't suppress them, nor could he criticize them harshly. These two had just gone through a bitter battle, shedding blood, suffering injuries, and risking their lives for the gods.

As for Lin Hao's request, saying that Zong Xiushan requested that the many Nine Realms and Eight Realms near the abandoned mine be handed over to him for command, that was absolutely impossible.

Those people are the foundation of Dongzhou and the assets of God. How can they be handed over to outsiders?

The Grand Astronomical Master sighed slightly: "It's really hard for them. They knew it was a trap but still stepped into it."

His eyes suddenly darkened, his robes billowing. "Then what about Lin Hao's claim that these candidate Divine Envoys are either evading responsibility, disobeying orders, or procrastinating? How can our great East Continent be unable to command even a few Ninth Realm Super Emperors?"

"Master, the twenty-four deputy divine envoys of our Dongzhou are all stationed in the local area. At this time when the local situation is in chaos, these deputy divine envoys dare not move.

Furthermore, at the time of the incident, the Purgatory Army below the Tianyuan Passage was making frequent movements, clearly to support and contain the enemy. This was so severe that several candidate Divine Envoys within the Tianyuan Passage did not dare to leave their posts lightly. As for the court ministers and generals, Lin Hao had no authority over officials above the third rank. As for the military, Envoy Luo had mobilized all the important generals he could.

Han Baxian frowned. "What Lin Hao said about prevarication, disobedience, and procrastination mainly refers to the first, second, and sixth candidate Divine Envoys. Especially the first candidate Divine Envoy, who summoned the Lingming Tongtian Dragon that Lin Hao needed again before the battle."

He thought that his words were worthy of the ten thousand taels of gold notes that Lin Hao had put in Feishu.

The Grand Astronomical Master sneered, "You don't know what you're talking about! You don't know the big picture!"

The Grand Astrologer doesn't mind these gods' messengers competing with the candidates, and even encourages them. However, if this leads to internal strife and failure to fulfill the tasks assigned by the gods, then that would be beyond his bottom line.

And the second envoy of God has a bit of a narrow vision.

He had previously praised the Second Envoy for his diligence in checking the military equipment, but this kind of thing happened again.

Han Baxian thought this was exactly what Lin Hao was aiming for. He cupped his hands and said, "It's worth noting that many of the troops under the Luoshen Envoy didn't participate in the battle at the mines and have remained on hold."

The Grand Astronomical Master frowned, walked to the edge of the pavilion, and looked down at the vast Luojing City. "Is it that the Emperor and the gods' envoys are holding each other back? Are they afraid to move?"

He knew that the emperor and the second divine envoy had been inspecting the local area, not only capturing more than a dozen third and fourth-rank officials under Luo Wangshu, but also attempting to investigate the assets of several major families under Luo Wangshu's wing.

Since the case involved a fight between several gods' messengers, the Grand Astrologer had read the files of over a dozen people.

To be fair, these dozen people did not commit any major faults. Their losses were left by their predecessors. These people were just conservative and were in a state of uncertainty about whether to do something or not.

The third envoy did not say anything, but he stepped up his defenses and became more cautious.

It is understandable that the masters under Luo Wangshu kept their troops inactive, as they were on guard against the Emperor and the Second Divine Envoy using some means against them.

However, the internal strife and internal consumption of the Song Dynasty had indeed reached a level that could not be ignored.

The Grand Astronomical Master thought about this and turned around and said, "Lin Hao mentioned the eleventh candidate for Divine Envoy Shentu Rong and the twelfth candidate for Divine Envoy Situ Xiu three times in his letter. It's clear that he is taking the opportunity to defend the two.

I've thought carefully, placing these two candidate divine messengers in the sinful army is indeed a waste. You should transfer them out and have them go to Wanshi Mountain to be transferred. Then tell Master and Disciple Lin Hao to use their remaining strength and live up to the divine expectations!

Han Baxian's expression froze when he heard this, and he bowed and said, "But if this happens, Shentu Rong and Situ Xiu will definitely be grateful to Master Lin Hao and Luo Wangshu."

Moreover, even if these two people rushed over, there was no guarantee that they could retrieve the fragments of the divine monument.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

The Grand Astronomical Master flicked his sleeves, his eyes piercing, "Didn't you read what Lin Hao said in the letter? Luo Wangshu said that the prince was already seriously injured, and her sword energy had also injured his lungs. Now he has become the target of public criticism!"

Han Baxian suddenly realized that what the Grand Astronomical Master cared about was no longer the two fragments of the sacred stele, but the Ming King.

Ming Wang Yin Qianqiu has only been in power for thirteen years. Once he dies, the Church of Light will inevitably fall into civil strife and may not be able to cause trouble for several years, allowing the Song Dynasty to concentrate more forces to deal with the tide of purgatory.

But there is one thing that Han Baxian has never been able to figure out.

Since the three fragments of the divine tablet were in the hands of the Divine Cult's Ming Wang, why did he go to that abandoned mine? Was he just bored?
