Heaven Divine City.
This was the headquarters of the Saint Hall. Most of the Hall Masters, Deputy Hall Masters, Elders, Guardians, and elite disciples of the Saint Hall lived here.
As a genius disciple of the Saint Hall, Zhao Leiting also lived here.
However, he was not in a good mood now. He was even a little anxious.
As a genius disciple of the Saint Hall, Zhao Leiting was very likely to be the next Hall Master of the Saint Hall. However, Zhao Bufan's abdication disrupted his plan!
According to the original plan, Zhao Bufan's abdication would take at least 30 to 50 years. At that time, with his talent and the resources of the Saint Hall, it was possible for him to break through to the Golden Celestial Stage!
However, he had just broken through to the Heaven Celestial Stage. How could he take on such a big responsibility?
Most importantly, when the Dragon Vibrating Diagram and Langya Mountain broke off relations with the Saint Hall, there were different voices in the Saint Hall, which shook Zhao Bufan's position. At this critical moment, he didn't support Zhao Bufan firmly, which made Zhao Bufan dislike him. Now that Zhao Bufan had abdicated, he didn't recommend him to succeed the position of Hall Master!
In this way, he was in an even more awkward situation.
Zhao Leiting knew clearly that once the position of Hall Master of the Saint Hall fell into the hands of others, he would be in a very bad situation. After all, his cultivation stage had improved so quickly because of his talent and the resources of the Saint Hall!
Would the new Hall Master of the Saint Hall use all the resources of the Saint Hall to cultivate him, who was likely to take away the position of Hall Master?
The answer was obvious!
Zhao Leiting scratched his hair painfully. Then he stretched out his hands and picked up the cat in front of him. He asked, "Civet, what should I do now?"
"No one expected that Zhao Bufan would abdicate!"
A faint blue light flashed in the cat's eyes. It said, "However, in this situation, there is still a way!
As long as Zhao Bufan and the Elders jointly recommend you, you still have a chance to become the Hall Master of the Saint Hall! "
"It's easier said than done!"
Hearing that, Zhao Leiting couldn't help but sigh. He said, "Under the external and internal pressure, I didn't support Zhao Bufan firmly in order to protect myself. I'm afraid he doesn't trust me anymore!
As for the other Elders, now that the position of Hall Master is in front of them, will they give it up? "
"Even if they don't give up, there are ways to make them give up!"
Civet's eyes flashed with a demonic light. He sneered and said, "I can use my secret technique to help you control one of the elders. When the time comes, he will firmly support you to become the Templar Hall Master!
If this still doesn't work, then we might as well go all the way. We'll let my clansmen take action and forcefully support you! "
"This …"
Hearing the civet's words, Zhao Leiting hesitated.
After all, this wasn't a small matter. If he failed, then it was very likely that he would be consigned to eternal damnation, and he might even be cursed. Unless he had no other choice, he didn't want to do that.
Thinking of this, Zhao Leiting said, "Forget it, you'd better help me control Elder Liu first. We'll take a look at the situation and then make a long-term plan!"
Within the Templar, there were a total of ten Golden Immortal experts.
In addition to the Hall Master Zhao Bufan, the Deputy Hall Master Liu Dayuan, and the Four Great Guardians, there were four other Elders of the Saint Hall, who were all masters of the Golden Celestial Stage.
Among the four Elders, the most powerful one was the Law Enforcement Elder, Jin Sanhuan. His strength had reached Stage Five of the Golden Celestial Stage. He was not far behind Zhao Bufan.
In fact, he had been in the Saint Hall longer than Zhao Bufan!
When Zhao Bufan was inheriting the position of Hall Master of the Saint Hall, there was actually another candidate, who was Zhao Bufan's brother. Jin Sanhuan was the teacher of Zhao Bufan's brother!
Back then, Zhao Bufan's elder brother had died in an accident, causing the position of hall master to fall into Zhao Bufan's hands. As the teacher of Zhao Bufan's elder brother, Jin Sanhuan naturally didn't have a good relationship with Zhao Bufan. But unexpectedly, he didn't leave the Sacred Hall and became the Law Enforcement Elder instead.
Both of them had been safe and sound all these years.
However, no matter how safe and sound they were, after all, they had grudges in their hearts. This time, Zhao Bufan wanted to abdicate his position. He was retreating in order to advance. It was impossible for him to give the position of Hall Master to Jin Sanhuan!
Therefore, the person most likely to obtain the position of Hall Master was Zhao Bufan's trusted aide, Elder Liu!
Zhao Leiting was very clear that as long as he controlled Elder Liu, even if he couldn't obtain the position of Hall Master of the Saint Hall in the end, he could secretly control the Saint Hall!
The civet scratched its back without commenting on Zhao Leiting's decision. It scurried to Elder Liu's residence and began to take action.
Soon, Elder Liu appeared in front of Zhao Leiting.
Zhao Leiting leaned on the armchair and looked up at Elder Liu. He stroked the civet's fur and asked, "I heard that Zhao Bufan was looking for you. What's the matter?"
"That's right!"
Elder Liu nodded and replied with a dull expression, "Zhao Bufan came to find me just now and asked me to take over the position of Hall Master of the Saint Hall. However, it's only on the surface. I still have to listen to his orders secretly."
"What a cunning old fox!"
Hearing Elder Liu's words, Zhao Leiting couldn't help but squint his eyes and say with a cold smile, "I was wondering why this old fart was willing to abdicate his position. It turns out that he's just retreating in order to advance. He's looking for a puppet to stand in front of him. When the time is right, he'll take back his power!
However, once the power is taken away, it's not so easy to take it back! "
Zhao Leiting knew that it was difficult to become the new Hall Master of the Saint Hall under such circumstances. However, it was a good idea to control Elder Liu secretly!
Since Zhao Bufan wanted to find a puppet, he would let him find one. However, it was uncertain whether this puppet was Zhao Bufan's puppet or his own puppet!
As long as he controlled Elder Liu and continued to plunder the resources of the Saint Hall, once his strength broke through the Golden Celestial Stage, he could take the lead and seize the position of Hall Master directly. At that time, Zhao Bufan would be dumbfounded!
"OK, you can leave now!"
Zhao Leiting waved his hand impatiently and asked Elder Liu to leave. Then he looked at the civet and asked, "Civet, can we do this?
I have a feeling that things are not so simple! "
"After all, the change of Hall Master of the Saint Hall is not so simple!"
The civet lay in Zhao Leiting's arms obediently. However, its eyes were quite strange. It snorted and said, "The Dragon Awakening Diagram and the Langya Mountain will definitely send people here. However, you don't have to be afraid. I've invited two masters from my family. I don't think they can cause any trouble!"
