68: That position must be mine!

Chapter 68: That Position, Only I Can Take It!

After Saint Moon spoke,

Long Xingyu also chuckled inwardly.

He had been observing Saint Moon and naturally understood his thoughts.

He also knew what he intended to do.

Without saying too much,

he simply nodded and, following Saint Moon's directions, slowly moved towards the location he was describing.

Upon seeing this, the people present were somewhat confused. Cai'er had just finished her trials, and Saint Moon immediately took Long Xingyu away? Shouldn't there be a celebration?

Only Bai Yue looked at them deeply.

Although she had no possibility of cultivation, she was not foolish and had a very clear understanding of the current situation.

She also understood her husband very well and knew what he was currently striving for.

“If Starry-Sky can truly succeed and completely integrate the Temple Alliance,”

“Then perhaps, it really might be possible to contend with that person.”

Bai Yue murmured to herself.

The person she referred to didn't require much thought; it was her father.

The First Pillar Heaven Defying Demon Dragon Emperor, Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu!

A secret chamber.

This was a place used by the Assassin Temple for confidential discussions.

At this moment, Long Xingyu and Saint Moon were both seated, looking at each other, each with something to say.

This was a game between Temples.

Logically, the one who spoke first in such a game usually lost, but Saint Moon didn't care. He felt guilty, so he was willing to make concessions.

He immediately spoke, “Starry-Sky, your purpose in coming to the Assassin Temple this time shouldn’t just be about Cai'er and Long Haochen, right?”

“There must be other matters, correct?”

Upon hearing Saint Moon’s words, Long Xingyu also nodded, “Indeed.”

“There is indeed a matter concerning the Six Great Temples that I wish to discuss with Elder Sheng.”

Hearing this, Saint Moon’s heart trembled.

He confirmed many things in his mind.

It seemed his earlier guess was correct; Long Xingyu indeed knew something and was acting on it.

“Is it related to the Temple Competition three years from now?”

“Are you planning to make a decision in advance?”

Hearing this, Long Xingyu affirmed again, “Precisely. It seems Elder Sheng also had plans in advance.”

Hearing this, Saint Moon froze. He wasn't a fool and naturally understood that Long Xingyu's words had a deeper meaning.

Was it about Li Zhengzhi?

Even if Long Xingyu hadn't fully understood his hesitation, he had probably guessed it with great accuracy.

That's why he took advantage of the time while helping Cai'er to come here and discuss this matter with him.

However, fortunately, he wasn't here to demand an explanation. If he were, it would be troublesome.

Currently, they should still have much room for maneuver.

Otherwise, given Long Xingyu's character, he wouldn't have brought both Bai Yue and Long Haochen here. It must be that he intends to completely stabilize the relationship between the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple, and even use Cai'er and Long Haochen as a foundation for deeper interaction.

Furthermore, one is the Reincarnation Saintess and the other is the Child of Light. In the future, both are destined to be the leaders and Temple Masters of their respective Temples. If they can truly marry, then for at least the next few hundred years, the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple will be completely united, with no significant changes!

That would be enough.

Immediately, he simply stated seriously, “Planning isn’t really necessary. Currently, the Assassin Temple, as before, remains the third among the Six Great Temples.”

“This time, the candidate for the Alliance Head will likely still be chosen from the Magic Temple and the Knight Temple.”

“It doesn’t concern our Assassin Temple. The Assassin Temple will continue to primarily support the Knight Temple, as before.”

“After all, among the Six Great Professions, the Knight is currently the most important leader. And precisely because of this, no matter what system of Knight, if they ultimately become a leader with a grand vision, then a Knight becoming the Alliance Head is the best choice.”

Saint Moon spoke thus, but his words were purely an apology, telling Long Xingyu about his previous wrong choices.

Hearing this, Long Xingyu also nodded and said, “This time, I came to see you because I have some thoughts on the future changes of the Six Great Temples and the current situation.”

“Within the Knight Temple, there are no issues, but if we are to achieve a complete transformation, we still need to discuss it with the Temple Masters of the various Temples. And currently, this is a key reason why I sought you out.”

Saint Moon was somewhat puzzled by this.

He felt that Long Xingyu's intentions were not so simple, so he asked curiously, “Starry-Sky, what do you plan to do? Tell me in detail.”

“The current Alliance is incredibly loose. You must realize this, right?” Long Xingyu asked.

Hearing this, Saint Moon was startled, but he wasn't a fool. Having been in his position for decades, he naturally saw it, and immediately nodded, saying, “Yes, it is indeed incredibly loose.”

Hearing this, Long Xingyu continued to explain:

“On the surface, the Temple Alliance appears stable, but upon closer inspection, it’s just a loose collection of individuals.”

“Leaving the Holy City aside, in other places, whether it’s the passes where the various Temples are located or other border areas, all are controlled by their respective Temples, and other Temples do not interfere.”

“Although there are no problems right now, the tension with the Demon Race is growing increasingly serious. And once a true Holy War begins, humanity will be like turtles in a jar for the Demon Race.”

“At that time, the various passes, due to their respective weaknesses, will be targeted by the Demon Race, and due to immense pressure, the various Temples will be unable to spare forces for support. You know what will happen then.”

“Yulong Pass is fine because of the Knights’ comprehensive abilities, and the Magic Temple is fine because mages have explosive power.”

“But you should understand what will happen to the other four Great Temples. The Assassin Temple lacks frontal combat ability, the Warrior Temple only has frontal combat ability, and the Soul Temple and Priest Temple, without protection, simply cannot fight and will only bring about their own destruction.”

Long Xingyu explained calmly. This was one of his goals: to prematurely introduce the concept of the Temple Federation, or rather, the complete integration of the Six Great Temples. And Saint Moon was the first to know!

After hearing this, Saint Moon was also stunned.

He could tell that Long Xingyu had immense ambitions.

He also grasped his deeper meaning.

This should be something the Alliance Head considers!

Long Xingyu, this?

“Starry-Sky, you’ve already made a decision. Are you...?” Saint Moon asked, dazed.

Hearing this, Long Xingyu did not hesitate and immediately nodded, saying, “Yes, if I want to completely resolve this matter, it can only be done from the position of Alliance Head!”

“And the next Alliance Head, it must be me!”
