All gazes were focused on the highest point of the Great Hall of Light.
Seeing the Pope with Mu Jiushi standing next to him, the crowd was filled with a deep unease.
Given the solemnity of the affair, the Pope's announcement naturally had to do with the coup of the Mausoleum of Books. Many people had even already thought of Chen Changsheng's name.
The mood was very tense and uneasy. Nobody noticed two people walking in from the side path into the hall.
Linghai Zhiwang and Daoist Siyuan, two Prefects of the Orthodoxy. On that night, they had been personally sealed by the Pope and jailed in the Dao Prison. Why had they suddenly appeared now?
In just three days, they had both greatly thinned, their faces pale and devoid of blood.
They made their way through the crowd towards the front of the great hall. Finally, people took notice of their presence and gasped.
Gradually, the cries of alarm increased.
