Dead?
At this moment, not only did Cardinal Hassall's expression change slightly, but even Qing Dao and the man in green seemed a bit surprised!
After all, among the three forces, the strongest was the Temple of Light!
Besides Cardinal Hassall himself, he had as many as four Cardinal deacons and seventeen or eighteen divine envoys.
This did not even include the remnants of the Heavenly Net assassin organization and the Caesar mercenary group.
Now there were only a few people left?
In the Temple of Light, there was only Bishop Philip and these two divine envoys?
"What happened?" Cardinal Hassall asked, his voice trembling.
The death of three Cardinal deacons and over ten divine envoys at once was a huge loss for the Temple of Light!
Philip gritted his teeth and then pointed at the Dark Association, saying, "They did it!"
Qing Dao was stunned, but quickly reacted and sneered, "Slander. Our Dark Association has only a few survivors, and I have been with the Cardinal all along."
"Are you trying to say that the Profound Rank under my command killed the three Cardinal deacons of your Temple of Light?"
The only one under his command was Profound Eleven, who was his subordinate. His strength was mediocre, not weak among the Profound Rank attendants, but it was difficult to kill a Cardinal deacon of the Temple of Light.
Besides him, there were only Profound Nine and Profound Seven under Purple Dragon. As for these two, one was always smiling and knew nothing but flattery, so he probably didn't have much strength.
As for the other, Profound Seven, he was a newly promoted attendant. He was quite shrewd, but Qing Dao believed that he did not have the ability to kill a Cardinal deacon.
Moreover, the Temple of Light had lost a total of three Cardinal deacons and more than a dozen divine envoys!
Therefore, Qing Dao did not believe it!
Cardinal Hassall took a deep breath and sighed, "Bishop Philip, tell us slowly. Tell us everything you saw or suspected!"
Philip nodded and began to recount discovering that Cardinal Bailey had been killed and all that happened afterward.
Many people around were listening, including Xu Shi'an and Shangguan Yun from the Dragon Group.
Shangguan Yun knew Ye Cangtian's identity, and at this moment, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: Brother Ye is ruthless enough to have killed so many experts from the Temple of Light!
On the other hand, after Philip finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Although the strength of that Profound Seven might not be very strong, this person is very cunning. Perhaps Bailey and the others were ambushed by him!"
His meaning was clear: that Profound Seven was not that strong, but he was skilled at ambushing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill a Cardinal deacon.
Qing Dao frowned slightly, "So, you personally saw him kill, and it was only your Temple of Light's two divine envoys. You are not sure if he killed the others?"
"Why am I not sure? He happened to appear at the place where Cardinal Bailey died! And I believe that the other two Cardinal deacons and the others were also killed by him!"
"Do you have any evidence? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Qing Dao sneered disdainfully, "Or, because my Dark Association is the weakest, your Temple of Light wants to find an excuse to deal with us?"
Even though his expression was cold at the moment, he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.
The Temple of Light had suffered such heavy losses, from the strongest force among the three, to now having fewer people than his Dark Association, which naturally made him feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Although the other party insisted that Profound Seven was the murderer, and Qing Dao was somewhat surprised, he was quite pleased in his heart. It was finally some compensation for him.
This kid was not only sharp-witted but also managed to ambush and kill a Cardinal deacon of the Temple of Light, which showed that this kid was really not simple.
It was just a pity that he was under Purple Dragon. Otherwise, if he followed him, it would save him a lot of trouble on a daily basis!
At this moment, two figures also quickly arrived from the distance.
It was Ye Cangtian and Gu Yue.
Philip recognized Ye Cangtian, who was wearing a silver mask, at a glance, and gritted his teeth angrily, "Kid, you killed many people from my Temple of Light. Today, you will surely die!"
"Noisy!" Qing Dao snorted in annoyance.
Philip glanced at Cardinal Hassall, who remained silent, and could only grit his teeth and say no more.
Qing Dao also knew that he had to give the Temple of Light an explanation this time, so he directly asked, "Profound Seven, the people from the Temple of Light say that you ambushed and killed their people in the passage, and even killed three Cardinal deacons. Is this true?"
"Three Cardinal deacons?"
Ye Cangtian was stunned. He had only killed two Cardinal deacons, though he had killed quite a few divine envoys.
However, he would not admit it at this moment, so he shook his head, "Sir, if I had the strength to kill three Cardinal deacons, I wouldn't be here! Let alone three, I can't even fight one!"
"You're lying!"
Philip couldn't help it and angrily rebuked, "You killed my people, I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it?"
Ye Cangtian looked at him and grinned, "Alright, I admit that I killed a divine envoy by Philip's side and a Heavenly Net assassin."
"But that's because my subordinate, Yellow Nine, had a feud with Heavenly Net, so I avenged my subordinate. That divine envoy was too close to me, and it was just bad luck!"
"You're talking nonsense! Before we arrived, Cardinal Bailey and the others were also dead!" Philip trembled with anger.
Although this person admitted it, he only admitted to killing one divine envoy and one Heavenly Net assassin, which made him completely disbelieve it.
Ye Cangtian shrugged helplessly, "That has nothing to do with me. Did you see me kill them with your own eyes? Besides, are Cardinal deacons that easy to kill?"
"You!"
Philip was speechless.
The Cardinal deacons were all strong, and even though he was among the strongest of the Cardinal deacons, it was still difficult for him to kill other Cardinal deacons.
But he really believed that Bishop Bailey and the others were killed by this guy, yet he had no evidence.
"Alright! I thought it was a big deal, wasn't it just killing a divine envoy? At worst, my Dark Association will compensate!" Qing Dao said at this time.
He snorted and glared at Philip, "Profound Seven says he didn't kill anyone else, but you insist he did. What does your Temple of Light want to do? If you want to start a war, just say so, don't do all this nonsense!"
"Lord Qing Dao, please watch your words!" Philip said solemnly.
Cardinal Hassall, however, frowned, then sighed, "Philip, step down! Don't bring up things without evidence in the future! Be careful not to cause conflict."
"Cardinal!"
Philip was immediately anxious.
Cardinal Hassall shook his head, "It's useless to say more now. If the two sides fight and both are injured, it will only benefit others."
When he said this, everyone couldn't help but look towards the Dragon Group.
Not far away, on the side of the Dragon Group, the man in green smiled brightly, "You don't need to mind me. Fight if you want, we won't participate!"
"..."
Even Qing Dao was speechless. What was the point of fighting then!
If the Dark Association fought the Temple of Light at this time, the Dragon Group would be happy about it. When both sides were injured, wouldn't the Dragon Group benefit?
Clearly, Cardinal Hassall thought the same way!
The two sides fell silent. Although Philip was still very angry and unwilling, he could only give up for now.
Ye Cangtian's lips curled up slightly.
He expected that this matter would not escalate, otherwise, he would not have appeared as Profound Seven of the Dark Association.
Profound Nine, who was beside him, quietly walked over and gave him a thumbs-up.
"You're still the best, brother. You actually killed two Cardinal deacons!" the fat man said in a low voice.
But Ye Cangtian had a strange expression. Does that mean that among the three Cardinal deacons of the Temple of Light who died, you killed the remaining one?
This fat man was also very well-hidden!
