154: The decision of the Magician Temple comes from Dragon Star

At the Magician Temple.

At this moment, Li Zhengzhi sat in the main seat.

Below him were the elders of the Magic Temple, all at the peak of the eighth rank or even at the ninth rank.

At this moment, this group of elders stood in place, their eyes fixed on Li Zhengzhi above them.

Li Zhengzhi was short and stout, only 1.6 meters tall, but no one dared to underestimate him. Instead, they showed him respect. After all, he was the most powerful Temple Master of Mage Temple in five hundred years, and also a wind elemental user with eighty Innate Inner Spiritual Power.

He was known as the most likely existence to lead the Magician Temple to claim first place from the Knight Temple!

Even though he hadn't spoken yet, no one dared to question anything.

Soon, Li Zhengzhi's gaze swept across the many elders, seemingly confirming the number. He quickly confirmed it and said in a deep voice, “Elders, the Temple Competition, which occurs once every ten years, is about to begin.”

“This Temple Alliance Tournament is different from previous ones. Three years ago, the current Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader Yang Haohan, took decisive action, leading to a new alliance that integrated all the powers of the Six Great Temples.”

“And this time, it is our opportunity. If the winner of this new alliance is our Magician Temple, then I am confident that I can maintain my re-election. By then, I will lead the entire Temple Alliance to counterattack the Demon Race within my lifetime!”

Li Zhengzhi spoke very directly.

Clearly, he knew what these powerful individuals truly wanted!

At the same time.

An elder stood up beside him.

He performed a basic mage's courtesy towards Li Zhengzhi and then said, “Hall Master Li, I do not intend to offend you.”

“But I must remind you here that the Knight Temple's leader for this event is not Long Tianyin, nor Yang Haohan, nor the newly promoted Divine Seal Knight Han Zhige, but rather the master of the Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter, the Knight of Divine Seal of Judgment and Inquisition, Long Xingyu!”

“I know you have always suppressed him, but I still need to remind you that half a year ago, Long Xingyu, in front of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, utterly defeated the seventh-pillar Berserker Demon God A'nan, and the sixth-pillar Bear Demon God Oliver.”

“Please be more cautious!”

This old man was a former Temple Master of Mage Temple from several terms ago, and now he was semi-retired, serving as one of the Magic Temple's Grand Elders.

“Elder Chen's words are very reasonable.”

“I naturally know that Long Xingyu seems to have comprehended something during this period, making successive breakthroughs and greatly increasing his strength.”

“However, if it came to a fight to the death to kill those two Demon Gods, I might not be without a chance.”

“Moreover, the biggest reason he was able to kill those two Demon Gods was the existence of the Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter. In the Temple Competition, the power of the god seal throne cannot be used. Without the god seal throne, he will not be my opponent.”

“Whether it's talent, personal cultivation, or the refinement of spiritual power, I am above him in all aspects. My wind attribute is also enough to keep me far from him. The final result will be the same as ten years ago; he will lose to me.”

Li Zhengzhi said proudly.

Although his words were arrogant towards the Knight Temple, he was inwardly respectful and very cautious.

However, towards Long Xingyu, an existence slightly older than himself, he had no reverence, instead believing.

“Hall Master Li, you?” Elder Chen began, intending to say something.

But Li Zhengzhi quickly waved his hand, refusing, “Elder Chen, my mind is made up. You don't need to persuade me anymore!”

Hearing Li Zhengzhi's words, Elder Chen was stunned, his old face reddening. After a long moment, he couldn't speak, sighing.

Never mind, never mind.

Since that was the case, let Li Zhengzhi do as he pleased.

After seeing Elder Chen no longer speak, Li Zhengzhi looked at all the powerful individuals of the Magician Temple and directly said, “Next, I will announce the candidates who will participate in this Temple Alliance Tournament.”

At the Warrior Temple.

Unlike the Magician Temple.

These old warriors of the Warrior Temple were all burly fellows, and they were currently arguing fiercely over this matter.

Their faces were red with anger.

However, because the Warrior Temple often ranked last, they weren't thinking about whether the Warrior Temple could win the championship, but rather which side they should help.

And now, they were directly divided into two factions.

One faction supported the Knight Temple.

The other faction supported the Magic Temple.

“The Knight Temple is absolutely the first. It has always been the Knight Temple that takes the lead, and this time will certainly be the same. What are you doing, thinking it can change this time?”

“That's purely a joke. The current Knight Temple lacks successors, but the Temple Master of Magic Temple, Li Zhengzhi, is at his peak and incredibly strong, enough to suppress the current era!”

“Pure nonsense! Strong is strong. Is this something one person can decide? The Knight Temple, whether in terms of top-tier strength or anything else, is stronger than the Magician Temple!”

“Pure nonsense! Strength is king. Two hundred years ago, when Commander Ye was still alive, under his leadership, the Six Great Temples also achieved first place. It's just that he, the elder, didn't want to get involved in politics. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have been the Alliance Leader at that time!”

“Given the current situation, the Knight Temple is certainly not as good as the Magic Temple. It's more practical to fully support the Magic Temple!”

Amidst countless arguments, everyone looked at an old man in the very center, that was Qiu Yonghao, the Temple Master of Warrior Temple.

“Temple Master, what do you think?” everyone asked.

Qiu Yonghao was silent for a moment: “Personally, Brother Xingyu and I have a good relationship, so I should support the Knight Temple.”

“But publicly, although Brother Xingyu's strength is great, he still cannot surpass Li Zhengzhi. And over these past few decades, the Magician Temple has developed very rapidly, even becoming not weaker than the Knight Temple. My personal inclination is to support the Magic Temple.”

Hearing this, the elders who supported the Knight Temple felt a bit defeated.

The Temple Master was the ultimate decision-maker.

“It seems we will still support the Magic Temple!” the Magic Temple supporters thought to themselves.

However, just as they were secretly rejoicing.

The door on the side opened.

A burly, white-haired old man walked in from it and quickly headed towards Qiu Yonghao's position: “Temple Master, Temple Master.”

“What's wrong, Ren Wokuang, so anxious?” Qiu Yonghao was puzzled.

The newcomer was none other than Ren Wokuang, the Hall Master of the Berserker Hall of the Warrior Temple!

“Information has arrived,” Ren Wokuang replied, looking quite helpless.

“What information?” Qiu Yonghao asked, confused.

“Someone asked me to deliver a letter to you and invite you to a place,” Ren Wokuang answered.

“Who?” Qiu Yonghao wondered, who would send a letter at this time?

“The Temple Master of Knight Temple, Long Xingyu!” (End of Chapter)
