Everyone waited expectantly for Chen Changsheng to give a perfect resolution, even the staunchest bishop of the conservative faction.
The elderly bishops gazed at Chen Changsheng with rather complex gazes.
He was Shang Xingzhou's student, a young man raised up by Mei Lisha, an unquestionable member of the Xining lineage, a successor of the Orthodoxy's traditional line. Logically speaking, he should have been standing on their side, but he was not.
He had placed Linghai Zhiwang and Daoist Siyuan in important roles, and after Daoist Baishi died in Wenshui City, he had not comforted the conservative faction. Instead, he had allowed Hu Thirty-Two, a bishop of the new faction with a terrible reputation, to replace Daoist Baishi.
It was precisely these matters that caused intense dissatisfaction in the conservative faction, resulting in today's situation.
But even now, no one even thought or even dared to think about driving the Pope off his throne.
