Douluo: Emperor of Light

Joseph raised the corners of his mouth, with a relaxed smile, and returned to the bishop's exclusive room in the Wuhun Branch Hall.

Along the way, monks kept bowing their heads and saying hello to him, making his steps become more brisk.

He is very happy recently.

The long-awaited position of bishop was now within reach. The more respectful attitude of the monks around him and the admiring looks of the common people all made him happy.

He had been waiting for this day for eight years, and now he finally got rid of that troublesome old guy!

"It's just a pity~ Wuhun Temple has become increasingly weak recently. As a bishop, I already look down upon it."

Joseph sat down and sighed with a hint of disgust.

Perhaps, this is what you can't get, and you long for it in your heart, but after you get it, you feel that it is nothing more than that, full of regrets.

"dong dong dong~"

The knock on the door was followed by a familiar and annoying old voice.

"Master Priest, a distinguished palace master has come to Wuhun City. I have brought him here."

Joseph was a little angry, and subconsciously reprimanded with impatience: "Deacon Anne, please call me vicar general, or acting bishop!"

After finishing speaking, two seconds later, he came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment: "Wait, what did you just say?"

At this time, the strong and tight door of the main classroom was opened for unknown reasons.

Two people walked in from the outside, one was Annie, whom he was already familiar with and hated, and the other was a completely unknown young man who was wearing a gorgeous platinum robe and had a noble and sacred temperament.

An invisible but real powerful aura emanated from his body.

"Each regional branch of Wuhun Palace has the right to establish a deputy bishop to assist the bishop in managing the local area. When the bishop is absent, he can act as the bishop, so he is also called the acting bishop."

"Although the auxiliary bishop does not need to be canonized by the pope and the locality can make its own arrangements, a relevant record still needs to be submitted to the headquarters."

Qingyang slowly came to Joseph's desk, his voice was gentle and natural, without any negative emotions.

"But as far as I know, the bishop in Koinol City has not submitted any relevant report records to Wuhun City."

"Then please, our vicar general, who appointed you, the so-called vicar general?"

Qingyang looked at Joseph with a smile on his face, making his body stiffen and break out in cold sweat.

"Palace...Palace Master?"

Joseph stuttered a bit and muttered subconsciously, not knowing how to answer.

He knew the meaning of this word very well. Every palace master was in charge of a powerful department and had a high position at the top of Wuhun Palace.

The lowest level of their soul masters are Soul Douluo, and some have even become titled Douluo!

He took a quick look at Annie who was following him respectfully, and knew that this guy would never fool him with such a thing.

only……

When did Wuhun City send people here?Why didn't he and his allies receive any news at all?

No, you must not let him know those things, otherwise...

Thinking of the consequences, Joseph shuddered violently.

"This... Palace Master, I don't know what to call him? I just made a slip of the tongue, yes, it was a slip of the tongue."

"Perhaps you don't know that after the death of the bishop, all the members of the branch have applied to Wuhun City and unanimously agreed that I should serve as the deputy bishop, so I was a little excited and went out of my way for a moment."

Joseph laughed awkwardly twice and quickly calmed down the panic in his heart.

The strong psychological quality he has developed over the years and his rich experience quickly allowed him to find a relatively appropriate reply.

Generally speaking, the deputy bishop itself is not appointed by Wuhun City, but by the local bishop, so according to this statement.

Although there are some problems, they have little impact.

However, Joseph's way of making excuses and refusing to admit made Annie couldn't help but frown. What Wuhun Palace needs is not such a flatterer.

Although such people are always indispensable, they will always make people feel disgusted, especially the more upright and stubborn old deacon like Anni.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. You should know about the problems in this city. Can you give me a relatively reasonable explanation?"

Qingyang no longer dwelled on this small issue of title. He looked at Joseph with questioning eyes and a slightly heavier tone.

Joseph smiled and inadvertently moved the fingers hidden behind his back.

These things are more important than revealing that you have problems, and they must be destroyed no matter what!

"Ok?"

Qingyang turned his head slightly and looked at the simple and high-end wooden office desk and the surrounding filing cabinets.

The next moment, a fierce flame shot out from it and expanded rapidly. In just a few breaths, some paper documents and the carrying contents were all burned away.

The strange thing is that after the flames burned these things, they did not take advantage of the situation to spread. Instead, they just disappeared, as if they had been prepared for it.

Qingyang watched all this with interest and had no intention of stopping it.

"How is this going?"

Annie exclaimed and wanted to get closer to see the situation, but due to her identity and authority, she didn't dare to really get close.

In this main classroom, all documents have a certain role. Even if there are some fragments left, it is not something that he, the deacon, can read at will.

"The information placed here is probably not very important. The really important things should be somewhere else. I won't be able to see them even if I think about it."

Joseph was stared at by Qingyang, and listening to his calm words, he felt nervous again for some reason.

"This... Lord of the Palace, this must be the work of spies from the Star Luo Empire!"

Joseph seemed angry, hiding his true thoughts.

"They have been spying on this city in recent years. Even the bishop was assassinated and died. I didn't expect that they are still doing tricks here!"

Anni on the side suddenly became angry when he heard this. Whenever he thought of the tragic situation in the city and those innocent civilians, he would feel uncomfortable.

And these are actually caused by the Star Luo Empire, these cruel and selfish guys!

"Then where did the food that Wuhun Palace sent for disaster relief go? The Star Luo Empire also sent a batch, but don't tell me that these supplies just disappeared out of thin air?"

Qingyang asked again without comment.

"Lord, I know this. Since the nearest cities also have no excess food, this batch of food was transferred from the main city and transported by the caravans of the nobles in the city."

"But for some reason, it seems to have been stopped on the road. As for the situation in the Star Luo Empire, I don't know much about it."

Annie told what he knew about the situation, and Joseph looked at him gratefully. This was also news that many people knew.

Qingyang nodded, assassinating the bishop, blocking rescues, and creating chaos. All these things must be led by a big force, and it would not be false to say that it was the Star Luo Empire.

However, he didn't believe it if he said that the Discipline Palace really had nothing to do with it.

"Master Qingyang Palace, the latest news came from the trial team!"

In the blink of an eye, a woman appeared here and handed a report to Qingyang.
