Chapter 1762 Understatement

"Hengchuan, today's meeting is for you. Come forward and make a return for this mission."

Black Shura stared at him for a moment and spoke in a calm tone.

The four young palace masters are the successors trained by the Black God Temple in accordance with regulations.

They expend enormous amounts of energy and money to search the world for children with outstanding talents and bring them back to their headquarters for training like raising a Gu.

In the end, only one in ten survived out of thousands of teenagers.

Then, four judges and several deputy hall masters will select four people from among them for intensive training, and the rest will fill various positions in the Black Temple.

For the Black Temple, these young men who survived are the heirs of the Black Temple.

Among this group, Hayato Tsunekawa is the one with the best performance except Robin.

Therefore, everyone in the Black Temple unanimously agreed that the next Lord of the Black Temple would be between Robin and Hayato Tsunekawa.

But in the eyes of Black Shura, several deputy hall masters, and two great wizards, Robin is the best candidate.

So, Robin was left at the headquarters to manage the base.

Hayato Tsunekawa knew the gap between himself and Robin, and he was defeated by Robin in several competitions.

At the same time, he also knew that he was not completely favored by the Palace Master and the higher-ups of the Black Temple.

In order to successfully inherit the position of Palace Master, he must demonstrate outstanding achievements and suppress Robin.

Therefore, he chose to take the initiative to lurk in China and keep an eye on the Black Temple's mortal enemy, the Jiuxuan Sect.

As long as he can destroy the Jiuxuan Sect, he will be the undisputed first hero of the Black Temple!

You know, the Black Temple and the Jiuxuan Sect have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, but they have never been able to gain the upper hand.

As a result, the Black Temple's business in China has never been fully developed.

Those super families and giant chaebols were very dissatisfied with this and significantly reduced their investment in the Black Temple.

If the situation is not resolved, these super families and giant chaebols will most likely abandon the Black Temple completely.

When Hayato Tsunekawa proposed to go undercover in China, he immediately received support from the top leaders of the Black Temple and was sent out.

Over the years, he has indeed provided a lot of information about Jiuxuanmen, and some of Jiuxuanmen's overseas industries have also been hit as a result.

But this is far from enough.

The Jiuxuan Sect's foundation is in China, and attacking its overseas industries will not shake the Jiuxuan Sect in the slightest.

When the new leader of Jiuxuan Sect was announced, Black Temple immediately sensed that an opportunity had come.

As long as the new leader is killed, Jiuxuan Sect will definitely suffer a heavy blow. At that time, a large-scale attack on Jiuxuan Sect will surely be successful.

This time, Hengchuan Hayato provided information and learned that Xin Jiuye was going to Lingquan Mountain to look for treasure. The top leaders of the Black Temple agreed to this action plan without hesitation.

But Hayato Tsunekawa is in China, and this action plan was proposed and implemented by Kazuma Kurofuji.

Kurofuji Kazuma is one of the judges of the Black Temple and the teacher of Hayato Tsunekawa. He holds a highly respected position in the Black Temple.

Black Shura agreed to his request on the spot and dispatched two Heavenly Kings and eight Terminators for his command.

Regarding this mission, Kurofuji Kazuma believed that there would be no accidents.

The new Jiu Ye of Jiu Xuan Sect is not even thirty years old. No matter how powerful he is, he can never be a match for him, a mid-stage Martial Emperor master.

He even thought that the two kings could easily kill Pi Yangyang without him having to take action himself.

But who would have known that, among so many people who went, except for Hayato Hengchuan who escaped, the rest all died in the northwest.

Hearing the Palace Master calling his name, Hengchuan Hayato showed no sign of nervousness. He calmly walked to the bottom of the stairs, placed his right hand across his chest, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Palace Master."

Robin, who was standing aside, sneered.

The news of the battle on the snow mountain had already been reported by Hayato Tsunekawa over the phone.

The death of a judge and two heavenly kings is a huge matter for the Black Temple.

Except for the decisive battle with the Jiuxuan Sect that year, the Black Temple had never suffered such heavy losses.

Therefore, Robin was certain that this time, Hayato Hengchuan would be severely punished and would completely lose the ability to compete with him for the position of Palace Master's successor.

On the stage, the right mage Field also sneered.

He is Robin's teacher, so naturally he wants to help Robin get to the top.

Originally, Hayato Tsunekawa would still pose a certain threat to Robin's position, but after this crushing defeat, Hayato Tsunekawa will be completely eliminated.

Robin will be the only candidate to succeed the palace master.

"Hengchuan, it was you who took the initiative to apply to go to China, insisting that you could break the impasse." Field said slowly after clearing his cough, "The entire palace has used all its resources to assist you in your deployment in China. This time, a small number of elites from the Black Temple were dispatched, hoping that you could succeed in one battle and completely eliminate the troubles for the Black Temple. But..."

At this point, he stopped.

Everyone in the audience looked quietly at Hayato Tsunekawa with different expressions.

Some of these elites support Hayato Tsunekawa.

But this time, Hayato Tsunekawa's crushing defeat not only made them disappointed, but also made them feel a little scared.

Once Robin comes to power, with his vengeful character, he will definitely conduct a major reckoning on the entire palace.

By then, I’m afraid they won’t have it so easy.

"Tell me, what exactly caused this disastrous defeat?"

After a brief pause, Field asked again.

Hengchuan Hayato was still very calm, and said slowly: "This operation was fully commanded by my teacher. Because the teacher was not familiar with the conditions of the snow mountain, he encountered many incredible things after entering the snow mountain. For example, the snowman, the blood devil flower, and the strange fish in the deep pool. Several people were killed before they even fought with them..."

Before he finished speaking, Field snorted and said, "You mean, all the responsibility lies with Kuroto Ichimura?"

Hengchuan Hayato said: "That's not what I meant. Of course, I am also responsible for this. We had originally forced Pi Yangyang into a desperate situation, but who knew that he had already planned and designed an avalanche, which led to our failure..."

"It was just a failure on the verge of success?" Field sneered again. "In this battle, we lost a judge, two kings, and more than a dozen other masters. You actually just said it was a failure on the verge of success?"

Hearing this, Gongsi Sha, who had been silent, suddenly changed color and trembled violently. She ignored the rules in the hall and quickly ran to Hengchuan Hayato. She stared at him nervously and asked, "My grandfather... is dead?"

Hengchuan Hayato lowered his head and said with a guilty look: "I'm sorry, I failed to protect the teacher."

Gong Sisha's face turned pale instantly, her body went limp, she took a few steps back, shook her head and cried, "No... Impossible! My grandfather is so powerful, how could he die?"

At this time, Robin sneered and said, "Hengchuan, if it was an avalanche, how did you get out?"

This sentence immediately aroused everyone's doubts, and they all looked at Hayato Tsunekawa.

An avalanche killed even Kurofuji Kazuma, but Tsunekawa Hayato returned unscathed.

This indeed made them very suspicious.

Miyadera Sayaka stared at him fiercely and asked in a trembling voice: "Yes, my grandfather couldn't escape, how did you escape?"

Hengchuan Hayato's eyes flickered, but he was not panicked at all. He said in a sad voice: "At that time, it was the teacher who gave his all and pushed me... I was lucky enough to escape. But the teacher... the teacher..."

As he spoke, he choked up and looked extremely sad.

At the same time, he slowly knelt down, lowered his head and said: "Disciple is willing to accept the punishment according to the temple rules and go to the underground to apologize to the teacher!"

There was silence in the hall, and no one spoke easily.

The Palace Master stared coldly at Hayato Hengchuan who was crawling on the ground, and did not say a word.

At this moment, a Black God Temple disciple hurried over, holding a mobile phone, and said respectfully from the stage: "Palace Master, this is the phone number of the chairman of the Roma Consortium."

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Palace Master, and he immediately stood up and said, "Bring it here."

After answering the phone, before he could speak, a majestic voice came from the inside: "I will immediately inject 1 billion dollars into your account, and the matter of Hayato will be over!"

The voice had a commanding tone and left no room for negotiation.

The hall master was stunned for a moment, then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he replied: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he slowly turned his head and looked at Hayato Tsunekawa who was still kneeling.

At this time, although Hayato Tsunekawa was still crawling on the ground, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
