Chapter 796: Chapter 430: The Prince’s Repentance, the Secret Conspiracy, the Inevitable Divine Punishment!_3

"Elder Uguel."

"Venerable High Priest."

"Please proceed to the King’s Palace, report this matter to King Aweit, and seek the support of the Royal Warriors to be prepared for any eventuality!"

"I will comply with your decree!"

Uguel nodded, gave Xiulote a kind look, and set off immediately.

"The remaining Elder Priests, head to various parts of the Temple District to make preparations. Calm the citizens of the Capital City, summon the Temple Guards, establish a Priesthood Review Committee, and prepare for the trial meeting!"

The High Priest pondered for a moment, his eyes emanating a ruthless chill.

"Chief Divine be witness! The plot to assassinate is unforgivable. Those who defy the Chief Divine must accept the Divine Punishment! Thoroughly investigate the hereditary nobility and priests of Tlacopan! Any involved in the conspiracy shall have all male descendants executed; those who knew but did not report shall be stripped of their fiefs and exiled to the western Kingdom!"

"Chief Divine be witness! Those who defy the Chief Divine must accept the Divine Punishment!"

In the grand hall, the remaining five Elder Priests loudly agreed, setting the tone for the trial.

Within the High Priesthood of the Capital City, none were Elders from the Tlacopan state, nor did anyone plead for the involved hereditary nobility and priests. It was a time of intense religious reform, and facing such conspiracy naturally called for severe measures to completely eliminate the risks posed by the Tlacopan state!

For the central Royal Family, this conspiracy came at an opportune moment. After clearing the remnants of the Tlacopan state nobility, they could fully control the lands and population in the western part of Lake Texcoco, further deterring other state nobilities!

"Prince Totoquihuatzin."

After making arrangements, the High Priest then turned to the pineapple prince, who looked fearful, and smiled gently.

"You may proceed to the side hall to rest and wait for the trial meeting. Don’t worry, my devout child, where Chief Divine shines, no harm will come to you!"

"Praise the Chief Divine! Thank you for your mercy, Venerable High Priest!"

Hearing this, Totoquihuatzin somewhat relaxed. He first respectfully saluted the High Priest and then again to the remaining Elder Priests before retreating backward out of the grand hall.

The Elder Priests also bowed their heads in salute and departed one after another. Soon, under the stern shout of Elder Azar, the Temple Guards swiftly assembled in the plaza of the Temple District. The warriors held copper axes and spears, their expressions icy and solemn. Young War Priests, as the military backbone, donned the bronze cloth armor from the Kingdom of the Lake. Within moments, beneath the grandeur of the Great Temple, the atmosphere was stern and murderous!

In the empty grand hall, now only the seated High Priest and Xiulote who was sitting cross-legged remained.

Xiulote stood up, glanced at the plaza below. The Temple Guards seemed to have been prepared and had already assembled. With a thoughtful expression, he walked up to the meditating High Priest and reverently bowed his head to inquire.

"Grandfather, why are you in such a rush today..."

"Xiulote, we will talk about it when we get back!"

The High Priest opened his eyes, revealing a glance sharp as a Jaguar. The instant aura disappeared swiftly, and when Xiulote looked carefully again, he saw only a calm, frail old man.

"Yes!"

Xiulote nodded slightly. He pondered for a moment, praying to the Chief Divine.

"Chief Divine’s protection! The Temple Guards’ operation to capture, I hope all goes smoothly. The Tlacopan nobility dared to plot an assassination of the Venerable, their sin is unforgivable!"

"Chief Divine’s protection! The fates of mortals are always set early by the Chief Divine, only the divinely blessed can see it in advance."

The High Priest smiled slightly, reached out his hand, and kindly touched Xiulote’s head.

"High Priest Xiulote, rest assured, this operation will surely proceed smoothly."

Saying this, the High Priest looked up, raised the Divine Staff in his hand, gazing at the sunlight falling from the zenith. The sunlight was so bright and radiant, the gemstones on the Divine Staff glimmered, but the hand holding the staff was covered in blood.

The High Priest’s expression became distant for a moment, with a smile on his lips and a profound look in his eyes. At this moment, he saw the destined fates of many people, and also his own destined fate. A true master always arranges everything silently. The only uncertainty for him was Xiulote’s future.

"Grandfather, you..."

Xiulote waited for a long time, somewhat worried.

"Xiulote, the fates of mortals are always set early by the Chief Divine, only the divinely blessed can see it in advance."

As if time had reversed. High Priest Xutel’s expression was profound, he spoke again, sending a chill through one’s heart.

"Rest assured, this operation will surely proceed smoothly... because I have already arranged everything!..."
