How can there be such a strong superpower?

...who is that?

Chapter 313 Enemy

When news of what happened on the top floor of Tiance Mansion’s headquarters building spread.

All the Tiance people in Tiance Mansion were still in the conference room that was leaking air from all sides.

Ever since Chen Lusi took action, the many Tiance who had been silent finally spoke up.

The direct consequence of speaking out is disagreement.

at last.

Since the meeting began.

The first point of disagreement appeared.

There is no consensus among the many Tiance on whether to prosecute the Roman Catholic Knights of the Holy Coffin.

Sima Zhi was the first to speak up. "...Since we've already captured the enemy, including their Holy Coffin Knights, and even killed a First-Class Inquisition officer, and brought back a large number of captives from the Hibiscus Protestant Church and Ise Jingu, why take the risk? Why declare war and slap the Roman Catholic Church in the face? What good will that do?"

"That's right! Tiance Mansion was already in a special situation, Xia Yue..."

Xu Zi glanced at the silent Chen Lusi and organized his words: "Xia Yue is dead, and Kunlun is unable to perform its functions. In this situation, Tiance Mansion must not only appease the internal situation, but also deal with the activation of various legends without Kunlun's warning, and guard against various ambitious people and emergencies.

Is it really appropriate to provoke the Roman Catholic Church?"

"Why do you say it's as if it's Tiance Mansion's fault?"

Hear what the two said.

Another bearded Tian Ce hummed, "It was the Roman Catholics who started it this time, wasn't it? They were the first to invade our border, weren't they? What's the point of catching them? It's just passive defense. What we need to do now is to make them remember the consequences of doing so!"

I think Xia Yue is not wrong, and he should be prosecuted, giving the entire Roman Catholic Church a hard slap in the face, and then striking a blow at the sacred gold they preach.

"Homologous revenge is the most effective method! Since Xia Yue said it was the right thing to do, there must be a reason for it, and we should bring charges!"

"really."

He Fu, who had just opposed Ji Xin's continued restrictions on high-level enablers, stood on Ji Xin's side this time: "I think that since this matter has already spread through the black market and Xia Yue has just sacrificed himself... In this situation, we have to continue no matter what.

Otherwise, there might be even worse consequences... After all, the most taboo thing at this time is to show weakness. Since we have decided to continue restricting those high-level enablers, we should not take even a step back.

We must maintain our strength from beginning to end, otherwise we will likely suffer a backlash."

"The black market is just a rumor. It's not official news from Tiance Mansion. How can we take it seriously?"

"Yes, and given the current situation... who would pay attention to such a thing?"

"One day it will be brought up again. If I remember correctly, the Holy Coffin Knight currently buried beneath the headquarters is the first Holy Coffin Knight to be captured alive in modern times... How could he be forgotten so quickly?

By that time, Xia Yue's influence would have begun to fade, and if he were seen as weak, it would be even more troublesome."

"Even the Holy Coffin Knight has been captured, and you're still weak?"

"Xia Yue was still there at that time..."

"I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that the Roman Catholic Church was the first to take action, so I had to make them remember the pain and let them know the consequences of their actions!"

"Reckless man!"

"..."

Most of the Tian Ce expressed their opinions on this.

There are only a few people who can be considered exceptions.

Except for the fact that at first glance, it seems that Tang Yu is looking at the ceiling in thought... but in fact, he probably doesn't understand and is in a daze.

Others who remained silent were either cautious and unwilling to say more, or were just watching from the sidelines, or had incomplete and uncertain information.

Chen Lusi, who had remained silent, clearly belonged to the latter.

In short.

finally.

Because there is a lack of someone who can make the final decision.

After a discussion.

No one could convince anyone else about this matter.

All the Tiance stopped tacitly and looked at Ji Xin again.

Ji Xin met everyone's gazes, glanced at Chen Lusi, and thought for a moment: "...There are many who oppose, but there are also those who agree. Let's put this matter on hold for now and discuss it again after the situation stabilizes."

finally.

For some unknown reason, Ji Xin did not force a decision, nor did he continue to discuss and persuade others, but put the matter on hold for the time being.

This situation is relatively rare.

Did she have her own concerns, or did she feel the opposition was too loud at the moment?

No one knows yet.

They didn't have much time to think, because after all the matters were confirmed, the meeting was adjourned.

Ji Xin only left Chen Lusi.

And a lot of...unexpected things did happen at this meeting.

Many Tian Ce needed to slow down, and at the same time they needed to confirm the situation of Chen Lusi, the successor of Tian Ce of the Third Brigade, so they did not continue to think about the Roman Catholic Church, nor did they continue to stay in the meeting room, but chose to leave directly.

Everyone filed out.

Hu Shengping was carried away.

soon.

Only Chen Lusi, Ji Xin and Shan Li were left in the meeting room.

"...Ji Xin, I need all the information about Tian Ce. The more detailed the better. I haven't seen most of the Tian Ce just now. I don't even know their names."

After watching everyone leave, Chen Lusi stood up, walked over to Ji Xin, and took the initiative to say, "Or you can give me a verbal introduction. In addition, I need information on all the high-level enablers of the old era, especially those who have ambitions for 'immortality', are related to their original self, and are eager for Si Jiayan to use his authority on them."

"Finally... you just mentioned that Xia Yue wants to prosecute the Roman Catholic Knights of the Holy Coffin. Why does he want to do this? And what about the other Tian Ce's claims of damaging the sacred golden body of the Roman Catholic Church? Because I know very little about the Roman Catholic Church and the Knights of the Holy Coffin, I would need you to provide me with some information on this aspect."

He said a lot in one breath.

Ji Xin listened quietly, then tilted her head slightly, looking at Chen Lusi, who stood before her. It seemed as if he had transformed his role overnight. After a moment's silence, she said, "Okay... but what happened to your rank? I remember you had already reached the threshold of Zhankan, so why did you fall back to Oozing Blood?"

this matter.

Ji Xin didn't know either.

This was the first time she saw him after she received the news that Chen Lusi would be the head of the Third Brigade Tiance.

"I do not know either."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi raised his right hand, glanced at his palm, and shook his head slightly: "After I used my power to kill 'Kua E', who was handed over to me by Xia Yue, I attracted the punishment from the sky... and after I blasted away the punishment from the sky, it became like this. I don't know what happened.

The only thing I can confirm is... that my authority and skills are no longer affected, and are even stronger than before my rank slipped."

"..."

Behind Ji Xin.

When Shan Li heard Chen Lusi's words, his pupils shrank slightly.

...kill Kua E?

After hearing this, Ji Xin fell silent again. She looked at Chen Lusi's face, then suddenly raised her fair little hand and placed it at his waist, as if she wanted to shake hands with Chen Lusi.

“…What?”

Chen Lusi noticed her gaze, looked down at the pretty face full of indifference, and asked.

Ji Xin still didn't say anything, just raised his hand.

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a while, then slowly placed his hand on top of her palm.

Ji Xin squeezed his hand gently, then raised her other hand.

"..."

Chen Lusi placed his other hand on top of hers, then guessed something and frowned, asking, "You don't really treat me like a dog, do you? ... Do you think I'm a threat to you now, just like Xia Yue? So you want to test my obedience?"

"..."

Ji Xin didn't say anything, just let go of his hand.

Chen Lusi looked at her indifferent little face and probably understood. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry. I have no interest in your position, and I won't pose a threat to you. Don't think that everyone is against you. It's very tiring."

My increased strength will not change my attitude, so don't be so wary of me.

Also, don't treat me like a dog. People and dogs are different. Even if you like dogs, don't do this."

"..."

Ji Xin didn't explain, but simply asked, "Do you think we should prosecute the Holy Coffin Knight?"

"I can't give you an answer for now."

Chen Lusi heard this and shook his head again: "Because I know almost nothing about the Roman Catholic Church."

Ji Xin continued to ask: "Do you feel pressure?"

Chen Lusi was a little puzzled: "...pressure?"

"..."

Ji Xin carefully studied Chen Lusi's expression for a long time, then shook his head gently: "Nothing... I'll have Shan Li sort out the relevant information for you later."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Lusi thanked him, then turned around and prepared to leave to contact the security forces and Zhang Xiufeng.

"Chen Lusi."

But before leaving, Ji Xin called him again.

Chen Lusi turned his head away.

Ji Xin frowned and asked softly, "Why did you kill the 'Kua E' clan' that Xia Yue had handed over to you? What were you thinking when you blasted away the Heavenly Punishment?"

"Because it's meaningless. The reason why Xia Yue is so powerful has nothing to do with his authority or the source god his authority is directed to. It's simply because he is Xia Yue."

Chen Lu thought for a moment and replied calmly, "As for what I was thinking when I blasted away the Heavenly Punishment, it was very simple. I just felt that the so-called Heavenly Punishment and the gods... were much weaker than I had imagined."

Ji Xin: "..."

Shan Li: "..."

Chen Lusi left.

Shan Li stood behind Ji Xin, watched Chen Lusi leave, and then looked at Ji Xin who was looking down in thought.

Ji Xin noticed Shan Li's gaze and suddenly asked, "When I was testing Xia Yue... did I reach out to him?"

"No."

"So I'm not that caring?"

"Then you should have told him directly... instead of just raising your hand like you're shaking hands with a dog. No one will understand you."

"..."

"That's Chen Lusi. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even raise their hand. They would just think you were insulting them. If you're worried, you should just say it."

"...You're so good at talking, why didn't you explain just now?"

"I just thought you were testing Chen Lusi."

"..."

"So what's the result?"

Shan Li looked at Ji Xin, who had fallen silent again, hesitated for a moment, looked in the direction Chen Lusi had just left, and asked, "What are the results of your investigation... What is Chen Lusi's current situation?"

“It’s strange, I can’t sense his stones, it’s like they suddenly disappeared, his level really dropped back to oozing blood.
