Shen Lang said expressionless, "Duobao Taoist friend, just say what you want to say. There's no need to hide."
Taoist Duobao sneered: "others dare not say it, but I am not afraid to say it. Shen Daoyou can return safely after being under house arrest in Chaoge city for more than ten years. Has he reached some unspeakable agreements with emperor Xin of Zhou?"
"Shen Daoyou keeps saying that he is helping us avoid disasters. If we plan to harm us, we have no room for resistance."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the hall.
Not every friar agrees with Shen Lang's identity as a descendant. Many friars at the top of the power actually made a compromise based on the identity of King Wu. Taoist Duobao really said their concerns.
Shen Lang looked as usual and said, "if Shen really defected from Shang Zhou, it should be to persuade you to attack Chaoge city."
"The goddess who picked up the Star Tower imprisoned all the Taoist ancestors in the fairy world. Her strength is unfathomable. Attacking Chaoge city is tantamount to giving up her life for nothing."
Taoist Duobao still questioned: "Shen Daoyou, this is just your one-sided language. We haven't seen the goddess with our own eyes. Who knows that the other party will be invincible?"
Shen Lang was too lazy to explain so much. He said bluntly, "Shen is just trying to persuade you with good intentions. As for whether you believe it or not, you Taoist friends can tell by yourself."
"Shen doesn't pursue everyone's approval, but any Taoist friends who have concerns can not follow Shen. As for this, you can make a choice now."
The hall was bustling.
Most forces still choose to follow Shen Lang and Ji Fa, but it is still difficult for a considerable number of high-level forces to make a choice. For example, there has been internal strife on the side of intercepting religion.
The intercepting disciples led by Taoist Duobao, the virgin of Jinling, opposed it, but the intercepting backbone such as Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao fairy and shitianjun resolutely supported Shen Lang.
Seeing that he could not unite with the disciples of the sect, Taoist Duobao, as the leading disciple of the sect, immediately lost his face and angrily scolded: "Zhao Gongming, if you still think you are a disciple of the sect, don't help the tyrants!"
Zhao Gongming dissuaded: "senior brother Duobao, Taoist friend Shen is really the friar predicted by the emperor. There must be nothing wrong with what he said. Senior brother, don't push the disciples into the fire pit in order to fight for breath!"
"Yes, martial uncle, there's no need to oppose Shen Daoyou!"
Sanxiao fairy, shitianjun and others also dissuaded him one after another.
The seven tricks of Duobao road's popularity were smoldering, and he angrily scolded: "you fools, don't know what kind of enchantment was given by the boy surnamed Shen?"
Seeing that the interceptor was distracted, the virgin Jinling frowned and said, "senior brother Duobao, this is the end of the matter. It's better to rub the spirit of friar Shen than argue with the younger martial brothers about right and wrong!"
Taoist Duobao thought that the virgin Jinling was right. He turned his eyes to Shen Lang and said loudly, "Shen Daoyou, I didn't want to join the camp between you and King Wu, but there are many young people in the sect who choose to support you. I'm not unreasonable. As long as Shen Daoyou promised me a condition, I'm willing to lead the truncated sect members to obey all instructions of Shen Daoyou."
Shen Lang had no interest in Taoist Duobao's obedience. Between Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao fairies, he was still patient and asked, "what are the conditions for Taoist Duobao?"
"I heard that Taoist friend Shen was promoted from the beginning of Hunyuan to the peak of Hunyuan cultivation in just over ten years. I haven't heard of such an unnatural cultivation speed. I still have doubts in my heart, so I want to compete with Taoist friend Shen."
Taoist Duobao suggested, and the corners of his mouth showed a little sarcasm.
He expected that Shen Lang's accomplishments would definitely have a problem. Even friars with unreasonable qualifications could not be promoted to three levels and the peak of Hunyuan in a short period of more than ten years.
In fact, not only Taoist Duobao, but also many monks present have this doubt.
"It's no problem to compete, but if I win, I hope Taoists can do what they say!"
Shen Lang's eyes fell on Taoist Duobao.
Taoist Duobao laughed and said, "if Taoist Shen wins, I naturally have nothing to say. I believe all Taoist friends here should and will not question Taoist Shen again."
The monks in the hall looked at each other. Although they didn't say it on the surface, they agreed with Taoist Duobao's words in their hearts.
Everyone wants to see Shen Lang's ability.
Zhao Gongming was so anxious that he immediately sent a message: "brother Shen Lang, my eldest martial brother is the first disciple of the sect. He has many magic weapons and unfathomable strength. Do you really want to compete with him?"
"Don't worry, brother Zhao. I'm sure."
Shen Lang responded.
Although Ji Fa was worried, he saw that Shen Lang was confident, got up and said with a smile: "it's rare to see my virtuous brother Shen Lang fight. This competition must be wonderful. You Taoist friends might as well go to watch the war together."
