161: The Son of Light's suppression and Li Zhengzhi's anger

“Priest Temple?”

Yang Haohan was startled.

He thought of a grandfather and grandson.

That is, the previous Temple Master, Old Ling, and the current Temple Master, Ling Xiao.

It's just that they don't get along.

Old Ling is easy to talk to.

As for Ling Xiao, that guy has a rather peculiar personality.

“It’s difficult to invite them.”

“After all, they are all professions with absolute Light attribute. The Priest Temple is already extremely dissatisfied with the Knight Temple taking away countless Light attribute geniuses. How could they possibly agree?”

Yang Haohan said helplessly.

“It’s quite simple. If they don’t agree, then there’s only one outcome.”

“That is, to become the last place in the Temple Competition. We don’t know their total points, but in the Domain Battle, they will definitely be last. This information alone should be enough for them to reconsider.”

Long Xingyu said calmly.

His words carried an absolutely invincible conviction.

Clearly, he was absolutely confident!

“What do you mean?” Yang Haohan didn’t react immediately.

“As the Child of Light, I can command all light, especially beings weaker than me. During the Domain Battle, my domain will definitely have this characteristic. And those individuals in the Priest Temple are all powerful Light attribute users.”

“But the strongest among them, Old Ling, is only a ninth-tier third-rank, and the other two seniors are around ninth-tier second-rank. I am confident I can eliminate them immediately, meaning they won’t get a single point!”

Long Xingyu’s words were absolute.

For him, there were only two ways to secure such a last-minute alliance.

Coercion and inducement.

The Warrior Temple before was inducement.

Because of Aria of the Goddess of Light.

And now, for the Priest Temple, it was coercion.

All members of the Priest Temple possess the Light attribute. Once they encounter the Child of Light, there is ultimately only one outcome.

They lose.

And they lose directly!

Hearing this, Yang Haohan was delighted.

As a politician.

He understood the value of Long Xingyu’s words.

You must know.

Although the Priest Temple is not strong in combat, in terms of domains, they can be said to be the strongest existence at the same level.

They also relied on this aspect to score points.

And precisely because of this, they could become third in the Temple Competition, which meant being first among those outside the Knight Temple and the Magician Temple.

And if Long Xingyu manipulated things in this area, then once they lost these points, there would only be one outcome: they might end up directly in fifth or sixth place, becoming 'brothers' with the Warrior Temple.

They might even be worse off than the Warrior Temple.

“I understand. I will go to the Priest Temple to inquire about all of this in a moment.” Yang Haohan nodded.

Then, he suddenly thought of something.

Looking at Long Xingyu, he called out, “Oh, by the way, Starry-Sky.”

“Some time ago, my elder brother sent me a message. He has already broken through to the ninth-tier fifth-rank and is ready to emerge from seclusion at any time, returning within three days.”

Yang Haohan said this.

“Teacher?” Long Xingyu nodded.

Yang Haoyu was the strongest in the Knight Temple before Long Xingyu, and also a legendary figure, a Starry Sky Knight. Long Xingyu was considered his registered disciple, so calling him 'Teacher' was not inappropriate.

“Exactly. Three years ago, when we agreed to reform the Alliance.”

“Although your strength had already surged at that time, I was still a bit uneasy, and it was precisely because of this that I sought him out in advance.”

“And now, although your strength has reached a level that no human can currently rival, adding my elder brother will certainly give us even greater assurance!”

Yang Haohan said seriously.

Long Xingyu's strength was great, but Yang Haohan was not weak either.

If the two joined forces, the possibility would be even greater.

“Since you’ve said so, it’s not impossible for Teacher to come along.” Long Xingyu nodded in agreement.

Hearing Long Xingyu say this.

Yang Haohan nodded, bid farewell to the people around him, and then left.

He planned to seize the time to completely finalize the cooperation with the Priest Temple.

This was also the last thing he, the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance, could do.

Inside the Magician Temple.

At this moment, looking at the information from his subordinate.

Li Zhengzhi’s kind eyes were now filled with surging rage.

Endless fury was released.

It was extremely powerful.

A tempest of anger.

Extremely unsettling.

“The Priest Temple is one thing.”

“Why would the Warrior Temple also choose to ally with the Knight Temple?”

Li Zhengzhi cursed in anger.

He really didn't understand.

The Priest Temple and their relationship was never that good to begin with, so choosing to ally with the Knight Temple, who also shared the Light attribute, was a very normal thing.

But the Warrior Temple was peculiar.

You must know, mages are very fragile, and they need warriors to protect them. And precisely because of this, the Warrior Temple and the Magic Temple had cooperated countless times, and their relationship was extremely good.

This inexplicable betrayal.

Left Li Zhengzhi stunned.

“I don’t know about the Priest Temple.” A subordinate, Lin Chen, Lin Xin’s grandfather, reported something while looking at Li Zhengzhi: “And according to some people who witnessed it at the time.”

“The Knight Temple completely acquired the Aria of the Goddess of Light at the Holy Union Grand Auction.”

“Aria of the Goddess of Light?” Li Zhengzhi showed a look of doubt: “What is that?”

“It is said to be the divine sword of Light Sword God Ye Wushang from two hundred years ago. It is a treasured sword that was blessed by the Goddess of Light, hence its name, Aria of the Goddess of Light.” Lin Chen replied.

“So it’s the Divine Sword of the Light Sword God. No wonder it could make all warriors submit. If I were Qiu Yonghao, I probably wouldn’t fall out with the Knight Temple over this matter, but would choose to continue cooperating.”

“However, I did hear that Long Xingyu had the idea of challenging this divine sword. I didn’t expect him to succeed.”

Li Zhengzhi’s words carried a hint of doubt.

However, the next moment, Lin Chen showed a helpless expression and said, “Temple Master, it seems that the one who succeeded in the challenge was not Long Xingyu, but his son.”

Li Zhengzhi: “???”

“His son has such talent?”

Suddenly, Li Zhengzhi seemed to understand something.

“Then, this time, we must go all out.”

“If that truly is his son, and we don’t succeed this time, his son will have grown up by the next time. To be recognized by that sword, he must at least have a Light Elementalist physique. In ten years, it’s not impossible for him to step into Divine Seals!”

Li Zhengzhi suddenly had countless thoughts. It seemed he had to quickly bring all of this to an end!

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was silent for a moment.

He said, “Temple Master, it is said that over the past six months, Long Xingyu seems to have brought a group of powerful individuals. It is likely that many of the Knight Temple’s members have advanced numerous levels this time. Should we…”

Hearing this, Li Zhengzhi immediately laughed.

“Only half a year? What level can Long Xingyu reach? The overall combat power of the Knight Temple is already inferior to the Magic Temple.”

“Unless he can find thirty-six ninth-tier knights, then I’d say you might need to reconsider.”

“But that’s impossible!” (End of chapter)
