At the order of Platinum Bishop Salas, the people of the Martial Spirit Hall immediately possessed their martial spirits, and the Knights drew their swords and pointed in anger.
A dozen Spirit Saints flew into the ring and surrounded Xiao Jiu and the others, each with eyes like swords.
"The people from Cang Hui Academy used spirit-type attacks and suffered a backlash and died, we are not at fault!" Shui Bing'er's face was ugly to the extreme, and she opened her arms to block in front of Xue Wu and the others, arguing on the basis of reason.
"Whether it was someone from Cang Hui Academy who suffered a backlash or you who deliberately killed someone, that will only be known after our investigation!"
Platinum Bishop Salas looked like he was doing business, but with the coldness and smugness on the corners of his mouth, anyone could see what he had in mind.
Shui Bing'er's face turned pale as she saw Shui Xinrou's troubled look, at this time, the people of the Martial Spirit Hall had not only surrounded them, but had also vaguely surrounded the rest area of the Skywater Academy.
"It's alright, just go with them, investigate again we're all innocent!" Xiao Jiu stretched and got up from the ground, the spirit power he had just recovered was drained by using one Spirit Bone Technique, he needed more time to recover his spirit power.
Xiao Jiu gave Shui Bing'er a reassuring look and followed the people from the Martial Spirit Hall to leave.
The audience was in an uproar, whispering, they felt that deliberate murder was unlikely, but after all, someone had died this time, and the people of the Skywater Academy were in big trouble.
The Emperor frowned at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Why don't we help out the Skywater Academy, Shui Xinrou is also worth pulling in."
Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, shook his head and said, "I hope that the bigger their conflict the better! We'll just watch the show."
.....
Xiao Jiu and the others weren't brought to the organizing committee of the Great Spirit Duel Arena, but were instead taken directly to the Martial Spirit Hall's Sacred Hall in Heaven Dou City.
Shui Xinrou was not at ease and also followed.
In the Holy Hall of the Martial Spirit Hall, a dozen Spirit Saints and dozens of Spirit Emperors stood on either side, giving Shui Xinrou a great sense of oppression, as if the next moment they would rise up in a group and kill the Skywater Academy on the spot.
Bishop Platinum paced leisurely with his hands behind his back, his face unusually smug, he hadn't expected that the Skywater Academy had given itself such a big handle!
"How dare you, how dare you deliberately kill people in a competition on the main board of the Martial Spirit Hall, you know those spirit masters, they are all registered with my Martial Spirit Hall, they are also considered half of the Martial Spirit Hall!"
Salas listened to his footsteps and scolded in a stern voice.
"They're obviously just banging, you're blind!" Xiao Jiu bristled.
Shui Xinrou thought the same thing in her heart, but she couldn't say so, she frowned, "Your Martial Spirit Temple doesn't even examine without reviewing, it just admits that we killed someone, this is too overbearing!"
"Is there still a need to investigate this? Then tell me, what evidence can you produce that they died from a backlash?"
Salas grunted.
"You!" Shui Xinrou was stunned, how could they possibly have evidence.
"Since you can't produce any evidence, it means that you killed them on purpose!"
Platinum Bishop Salas laughed conspiratorially.
Xiao Jiu snorted, "Not being able to produce evidence level indicates intentional killing, then I say the last Pope was still killed by you, can you produce evidence to prove that you didn't kill him yourself?"
"How dare you!" Platinum Bishop Salas bellowed angrily.
"Cut the crap, just deal with today's incident as an accident! When you come out with a statement, just say that the seven people from Cang Hui Academy were killed because of spirit technique backlash, got it? A big, long-winded shout, not a single word to the point, is this how you become a Platinum Bishop? Rubbish!"
Xiao Jiu waved his hand impatiently, then sat straight down on the seat he thought he had in the sanctuary.
"How dare you!" The man from the Hall of Martial Spirits shouted.
Platinum Bishop Salas was also confused, this bastard kid in front of him, was he pretending that he was the Pope? Disciplining himself!
"Bastard, who do you think you are?"
Bishop Platinum shouted angrily, his eyes were sharp as he sneered in his heart, "I'll take advantage of this day to kill you and take your external spirit bone!
At this moment, Shui Bing'er and the others were stunned, they knew that Xiao Jiu was out of order, but you are in someone else's territory, this is too much to treat yourself as an outsider!
Xiao Jiu looked at the people of the Martial Spirit Hall who could not wait to eat him now, and cleared his throat and said: "Who am I? I'm afraid to scare you to death by saying it."
"I'm the quasi-pope of the Martial Spirit Temple! The Pope is my senior mother!"
Xiao Jiu pulled out a token in his hand and shouted angrily, "Kneel down for me!"
Shui Xinrou and the others held their foreheads, thinking to themselves that Xiao Jiu was too much of a tosser, even Shui Bing'er's mouth twitched, you are the sworn enemy of the Martial Spirit Hall, okay!
The people of the Martial Spirit Hall even laughed.
"Where did the idiot come from, to impersonate .... Charging..."
As they laughed, their faces suddenly froze, because here on the token was actually a six-winged angel carved!
This was a more advanced consecration order than the Pope's order in the Martial Spirit Hall, a representation of the supreme authority of the Angel God on earth!
People from the outside world had no idea that such a token existed.
With a clatter, many people in the Martial Spirit Hall immediately knelt down, "Greetings, my lord!"
At this moment, Shui Xinrou and the others were frozen, Xiao Jiu was actually from the Martial Spirit Hall, and a high ranking one at that!
Salas' face was cloudy, he knew that the token was real, but he couldn't admit it no matter what, because he had ordered Xiao Jiu's assassination, what if this was settled after the fall?
"Stolen, this is stolen!"
Salas' eyes were ruthless as he angrily rebuked, "This token, the holder is only Lord Qian Daoliu, how could you possibly possess it!"
With this reminder from him, everyone immediately understood, how could this token be given to an outsider?
"Kill him! How dare you steal the supreme token of the Hall of Martial Spirits, this is a desecration of the Hall of Martial Spirits!"
Platinum Bishop Salas shouted angrily and immediately possessed his martial spirit, a double-headed demon wolf appeared behind his back, eight spirit rings rhythmically moving around his body, his aura was so powerful that it was higher than even Shui Xin Rou's spirit power.
Seeing that their top boss said this, the Spirit Saints and Spirit Emperors of the Martial Spirit Hall also immediately possessed their martial spirits, they only needed to do as they were ordered.
Shui Xin Rou and the others were greatly alarmed, she gave a reproachful glance at Xiao Jiu, and in her heart she also decided that the token was from the wrong place.
She immediately led the crowd to surround Xiao Jiu and turned on her Martial Spirit, today, there might be a life and death battle!
Shui Bing'er also looked annoyed, "Can you be more reliable! You're making things worse and worse! You'll make the Skywater Academy go down with you like this!"
"Don't worry, the Martial Spirit Hall is just like my house, this token belongs to my wife! She'll be here later."
Xiao Jiu didn't care and comforted Shui Bing'er and the others.
Shui Bing'er and the others gave him a blank stare in unison, at this point in time, you're still bragging, you might as well take the time to recover your spirit power!
"When your wife comes, she'll just have to collect your corpse!" Salas snorted coldly and said, "Kill!"
In an instant, spirit power surged, one spirit ring lit up, and Shui Xinrou also spirit power surged, ready to meet the battle.
Just at this moment, a sacred and unquestionable voice rang out.
"Who dares to hurt my Xiao Jiu!"
Along with this voice, Qian Renxue descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the Martial Spirit Hall's sacred hall, wearing a long white dress embroidered with golden divine patterns, and behind her was a beautiful angel with three pairs of sacred feathered wings spread out.
Step by step, Qian Renxue walked towards the hall, sacred and noble, attracting everyone's attention and making them feel like they wanted to bow down and worship.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened as they saw the legendary Angelic Martial Spirit!
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know who this girl in front of them was, as there were only two people with angelic martial spirits in this world.
"Holy Maiden, Lord Qian Renxue!"
In this instant, Salas and the others immediately bowed and Salas pointed angrily at Xiao Jiu and said, "My Lord, he stole our Martial Spirit Hall's token and had the audacity to say that the token belonged to his wife, we were about to pass judgement on him!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Qian Renxue took a step towards Xiao Jiu, then leaned down and gave him a gentle peck on the cheek as everyone watched.
"He's right, the token is what I gave him!"
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, the Holy Maiden had actually admitted it, we're not dreaming again?
Salas was like a duck stuck in his throat, his eyes burst open and his throat made a quacking sound, his head was buzzing at the moment.
What have I seen? What did I hear?
This bastard is actually telling the truth, so could he really be a prospective Pope, a student of the current Pope Bibidong?
"Greetings, my lord!"
Salas was in a cold sweat, and the next moment, immediately knelt down and saluted.
Shui Bing'er's head was the most dizzy, rumour had it that the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Martial Spirit Hall were mortal enemies, she had personally witnessed the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts Pope having an ambiguous relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Martial Spirit Hall, wasn't this a rat playing bride to a cat?
Shui Xinrou was also incredulous, but there was a touch of regret in her eyes, Xiaojiu had Martial Spirit Hall saintess, then wouldn't her own Bing'er be left with a bamboo basket!
Shui Yue'er had a curious look on her face, she really didn't know how Xiao Jiu managed to handle the Martial Spirit Hall's saintess, it was even harder to handle than her own sister, right!
Xiao Jiu sat on a high seat and looked down at Platinum Bishop Salas and said, "Let me ask you, how did the people of Cang Hui Academy die?"
Platinum Bishop Salas immediately said respectfully, "According to our research and meticulous analysis, they died from spirit technique repercussions!"
"Hmph, just now you even bit the bullet and said that we killed them!" Shui Yue'er grunted in dissatisfaction.
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Salas wiped his cold sweat, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect, Qian Renxue was the only bloodline of the Qian Daoliu, he didn't want to offend.
Shui Yue'er still wanted to say something sarcastic, but was pulled back by Shui Xinrou, Platinum Bishop Salas was afraid of Xiao Jiu, of Qian Renxue, not them.
Xiao Jiu knocked on the armrest of his seat and asked again coldly, "This Platinum Bishop, were you promoted before following the previous generation of Popes in their pursuit of Tang Hao, or were you promoted after that incident?"
Salas was full of confusion and said uncomprehendingly, "I sat in the Heavenly Dou Empire and could not leave easily at all, and was not involved in what happened back then."
Xiao Jiu's heart understood and cursed Ning Fengzhi for being an old fox, he was really trying to kill someone with a sword.
Xiao Jiu then asked again, "Before you sent Shi Nian to kill someone, did you know that he was from the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Salas did not even think about it and said, "How is it possible, how could Shi Nian be a member of the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts, I could have investigated ... before."
The first time I said this, Salas suddenly awoke, the following words could not be said, a stunned look at Xiaojiu.
He was surprisingly set up, when there had been no news from Shi Nian, he guessed that he had been taken out.
Now that he admitted to having contact with Shi Nian, wasn't it a clear admission that he had instructed Shi Nian to kill.
What a scary guy!
Cold sweat began to break out all over Salas' body.
Xiao Jiu's eyes were cold as he grunted, "I told you, the person who can instruct Shi Nian is either the Martial Spirit Hall or the royal families of the two empires, Salas, tell me how you want to die?"
Salas said in horror, "I didn't know you were one of my own before, this is all a misunderstanding!"
After he finished, he looked at Qian Renxue and said, "Lord Saintess, this is all a misunderstanding! It was for the sake of the Martial Spirit Hall that I asked Shi Nian to assassinate Lord Xiao Jiu, so I beg your forgiveness!"
Qian Renxue was stunned, then looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Those who do not know are not guilty, Xiao Jiu, can you..."
"No!"
Xiao Jiu pinched Qian Renxue's nose and said leisurely, "If I let him go, won't I lose face? Xiao Xue, listen to me, you should stay out of this."
Xiao Jiu sneered in his heart, "How dare you lay your hands on Zhu Zhuqing, if I let you go, wouldn't I be a fool!
"Oh!"
Qian Renxue nodded obediently, she saw how tough Xiao Jiu was, so she didn't say anything.
Shui Bing'er was stunned, Xiao Jiu said that she wanted to kill the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Spirit Hall, and Qian Renxue, who was a Holy Maiden, just ignored it so lightly?
This was bewitched!
Salas' face was gloomy as he slowly got up and said angrily to Xiao Jiu: "I respect you because of the Holy Maiden, who do you think you are? Putting aside the Holy Maiden, I can crush you with one hand!"
He was not one to sit back and wait for death, since Xiao Jiu wanted his life, then he would fight to the death!
"You sent Shi Nian to assassinate, and you didn't even investigate clearly? Ridiculous!"
Xiao Jiu looked at Salas with disdain, took the token and shook it, "Someone, Salas is below the law, kill him for me!"
The other people from the Martial Spirit Hall all had a difficult look on their faces, what was this?
However, none of them moved, if Qian Renxue said so, they would definitely carry it out, but Xiao Jiu could only be considered a fox.
Salas laughed coldly, "They are my direct subordinates, you, an outsider, want to command them to kill me? Ridiculous!"
"If they don't kill, I'll do it myself!"
Xiao Jiu shook his neck and spoke coldly.
"You? Want to kill me?" Salas opened his martial spirit again, his eight spirit rings rotating in rhythm, and sneered, "I know you're very powerful, with an amazing number of self-invented spirit techniques and an external spirit bone, but you're already depleted of spirit power now, what can you do to fight me?"
"Even if my spirit power is depleted, still I can emit one spirit skill, but I want to kill you, it's as easy as a hand!" Xiao Jiu shook his head gently.
"Who do you think you are? Are you the dead pope of the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Salas came with a snicker, but the next second, his expression froze as if he had seen a ghost.
Shui Xinrou and the others looked backwards in confusion, and at this moment, a real martial spirit finally appeared behind Xiao Jiu.
A gorgeous bullet ant with the four colours of ice, fire, gold and wood.
And one by one, the spirit rings on Xiao Jiu's body emerged, and this time they were no longer messy colours, but real spirit rings.
Purple, black, black, red, black!
Shui Xinrou and the others were frozen, she felt that this was a big joke, that this boy who called his stepmother was really the Pope of the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts!
The most incredible thing was that his wife was actually the Holy Maiden of the Martial Spirit Hall!
And Shui Yue'er exclaimed in shock, the Prince Charming in her heart was actually her sister's boyfriend, and she herself had said that she wanted him to help take care of the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts' Pope, no wonder he had such a strange expression on his face at that time!
In future, how could she face him? And, should I share half of it with my sister or not?
Xue Wu and the others were also shocked speechless, not realising that the person they were playing around with was the legendary Ten Thousand Beast Hall Pope!
At this moment, Xiao Jiu got up and said leisurely, "As you can see, I am none other than the Pope of the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts, Salas! How do you want to die?"
