The elders, led by the great elder, headed to the Temple of Beasts together.

The guards outside the palace gate were stunned for a moment when they saw all the elders arriving.

The great elder asked: "Is the Prophet in the temple?"

The guards looked at each other, and the oldest guard among them stood up and answered: "The Prophet is resting in the hall. He has been in poor health recently, and specifically told us to close the door to thank guests."

If it were normal times, the elders would usually choose to visit another day after hearing this, but today they came just for the prophet.

They must see the prophet in the near future!

The elders ignored the guards' obstruction and forced their way into the temple.

When they stepped across the threshold, the shell wind chime hanging above the door swayed gently, making a crisp crashing sound.

After hearing the news, the divine servants came and prevented the elders from entering.

"The Prophet is resting and cannot see anyone. Elders, please leave immediately!"

There were ten elders in total, but there were more than forty divine attendants. The guards also rushed in and surrounded the elders. It seemed that they would never let them enter the temple.

Seeing this posture, the great elder suddenly smiled: "It seems that my news is not wrong. The prophet is indeed not in the temple."

Immediately, a divine attendant spoke up to argue: "The Prophet is in the temple. He cannot see guests because he is not feeling well and needs to rest in seclusion. It is against the rules for you to force your way into the temple, and now you are even talking nonsense. What are you doing?" Are you planning to rebel while the prophet is unwell?!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the elders changed.

The great elder glanced at the divine attendant. This person was one of the prophet's confidants named Jian Yi.

"We have very important matters that need to be told to the Prophet in person. What does it have to do with rebellion? You are a little servant of God, and opening your mouth is rebellion. Didn't the Prophet teach you what it means to have trouble come from your mouth?"

Jian Yi retorted: "You brought so many people in, and you still suspected that the prophet was not in the palace. Do you dare to say that you don't have any other ideas in your mind? We are all sensible people, so don't use your status to oppress others! Here are all the beasts The temple, both you and us, are all under the jurisdiction of the Prophet. Now that the Prophet has said that we need to meditate, we cannot let anyone enter the temple, and we also ask the Great Elder not to disobey the Prophet’s orders!"

The great elder pointed at his face: "Very good, your mouth is really powerful. Lord Prophet really did not misjudge you!"

Jian Yi bent down and cupped his hands: "Best farewell to all the elders!"

The great elder waved his sleeves and left with a cold face.

Now that the boss has left, the other elders will naturally follow suit.

After they all exited the temple, Jianyi said to the guards: "Brothers, please guard this place and never let anyone enter the temple. If you accidentally let some cats and dogs break in and disturb the prophet's rest, you will offend the prophet. When the disease worsens, none of us will be able to take responsibility."

The guards were stunned and responded hurriedly: "We understand."

"You guys go out and guard."

The guards exited the temple one after another and returned to their respective posts.

The divine attendants gathered around Jianyi and asked all sorts of questions.

"Is the Prophet really not in the temple? Has he gone down the mountain?"

Jian Yi shouted in a deep voice: "That's enough!"

There was a sudden pause in the voice, and everyone closed their mouths with somewhat resentful expressions.

Although everyone is a servant of the gods, their status is also divided into high and low.

As one of the prophet's confidants, Jianyi is deeply trusted by the prophet. All the divine servants in the temple are under his management. He is also a strict and rigid person, which makes everyone a little afraid of him.

"The Prophet is in poor health. He has been resting in the temple and has never left the temple. If any of you talks nonsense again, I will cut off his tongue!"

Jian Yi looked around, his eyes sharp and cold.

The divine attendants he saw all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything more.

The atmosphere became very oppressive and uncomfortable.

"It's all gone."

As soon as Jian Yi said these words, the divine attendants immediately dispersed like birds and beasts as if they had been granted amnesty.

When everyone was almost gone, another divine attendant came out from behind the pillar. Like Jian Yi, he was a confidant of the prophet.

He said to Jian Yi: "The news that the Prophet is not in the temple has been spread. There must be spies from the Presbyterian Council in our temple."

Jian Yi said solemnly: "Not only the Presbyterian Council, but also the royal family must have spies."

The status of the Temple of Ten Thousand Beasts in Ten Thousand Beasts City is too high. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at this place, and many people are trying every means to cram people into it. Jian Yi and others had dealt with all the eyeliners on the surface in advance, but there were still many hidden secrets, and there was no way to start.

Jian Yi turned to look outside the hall with a calm gaze: "The fact that Lord Prophet is not in the temple will definitely not be hidden for long. We must inform Lord Prophet as soon as possible and ask him to rush back to the temple as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

After the elders came down the mountain, the expressions on their faces were complicated.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that the prophet is not in the temple?"

The great elder said nothing, with one hand behind his back and an unpredictable expression.

The second elder took the initiative to speak: "The Prophet is definitely not in the palace. If he is, does Jianyi need to be so nervous? He has a guilty conscience and is afraid that we will break in and discover the truth about the Prophet's absence."

"But after all, we haven't gone in, so we can't be sure whether the Prophet is really absent. Why don't we draw a conclusion now?"

This matter was of great concern and they had to be cautious.

The great elder finally spoke: "Today we broke into the temple and must have aroused Jianyi's alert. He has always been very thoughtful. To be on the safe side, he should immediately send people to find the prophet. We only need to send people to guard the sacred mountain. , as long as we see a suspicious person coming down the mountain, we will catch him and we will be able to force out the truth."

Everyone nodded: "Great Elder, this is a good idea!"

The great elder looked back at the lofty Ten Thousand Beasts Temple, with a calculating look in his eyes.

Now that the prophet is not here, you little fishes and shrimps can never hope to defeat me!

At this time, Xuanyuan had successfully arrived outside Sun City.

She looked at the white tiger stone sculpture at the city gate and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Thinking of the last time she came here, it was more than 20 years ago, when she and Bai Di were partners not long ago. Here she met Bai Di's father Bai Ming, and Bai Di's younger brother Bai Luo.

Now that Bai Ming has passed away, Bai Luo has become the new beast king.

And she and Bai Di also had their own children.

Sighing slowly: "Times have changed, things have changed and people have changed."

Xiaoba: "Don't be too busy sighing about life, and quickly find a way to hide your little son."

"ah?"
