Chapter 178(1/2)

On the second day of Wei Manzhou's trial, the Immortal Alliance summoned all the sect leaders who had joined the Immortal Alliance to vote on the candidate for the new owner of Penglai Island.

The leader of the Immortal League also saved some face for Penglai Island, allowing the old island owner of Penglai Island to temporarily leave the prison and participate in this conference together.

Although the old island owner also has the right to vote, everyone here knows that the candidate for the new Penglai Island owner has been decided, and allowing the old island owner to participate in the meeting is just a formality to ensure that it is not so unpleasant to tell the outside world.

The time of the conference was set at Si hour. At this time, there was about a quarter of an hour before Si hour. Almost all the sect leaders of the various sects had arrived. However, they did not talk to each other. Instead, they sat silently in their respective seats with expressions on their faces.

They don't look very good, and they seem to have something on their mind.

When Xie Wanyou arrived at the scene, he saw this scene.

She raised her eyebrows and walked in without hesitation.

The attendant pulled out a chair for her, which was just to the left of the leader of the Immortal Alliance. Xie Wanyou gathered up her skirt and naturally sat down in this position.

It's so frivolous.

The sect leaders who saw this scene couldn't help but frown, and secretly exchanged glances.

They, the most senior members of the sect, are sitting at the bottom, and she dares to actually sit next to the leader of the alliance... It's a bit too ignorant.

An unexplainable undercurrent was flowing among everyone. Xie Wanyou seemed not to notice it. She took the tea offered by the waiter and pursed her lips in thanks. Anyone could see the anticipation and nervousness on her face.

Seeing her impatient attitude, many people sneered secretly and looked away disdainfully.

Xie Wanyou lowered his head and took a sip of tea, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

As the time approached, the old owner of Penglai Island also appeared outside the door.

Xie Wanyou raised his eyes and looked over. The old island owner was walking toward them with unsteady steps. He was still wearing the white robe that symbolized Penglai Island, but his demeanor and charm seemed to have entered old age in an instant, and he no longer had the same high-spirited attitude as before.

The eldest disciple, the Dongchuang Incident, was about to be executed by Ling Chi. Penglai Island was surrounded by a pack of wolves and was about to be in danger. These things weighed on his shoulders and almost defeated him.

The old island owner sat down in his seat with a dull expression, lowering his eyes and not looking at anyone.

Xie Wanyou rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingertips, thoughtfully.

At this time, the leader of the Immortal Alliance arrived, and everyone stood up immediately. Xie Wanyou also stood up hurriedly. His eyes scanned the various sect leaders below, and saw a hint of fear on everyone's face.

It turns out that the Immortal Alliance can control its members to this extent.

Xie Wanyou smiled and said hello to the alliance leader. Alliance leader Duan nodded slightly to her and raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

The conference began here.

Leader Duan first condemned the evil deeds of Penglai Island, expressed his sadness, and warned other sect leaders to take Penglai Island as a lesson and not to have other inappropriate thoughts.

During the whole process, the old island owner seemed to have turned into a soulless puppet, sitting there with a hunched back and no reaction at all.

It wasn't until the leader of the Immortal Alliance praised Xie Wanyou and proposed to appoint Xie Wanyou as the new island leader that a flicker suddenly appeared in his lifeless eyes.

"Then, the members of the Immortal Alliance will vote to decide whether Master Fushuang Sword Master will take over as the new island owner."

Finally reaching this stage, Xie Wanyou looked at the people below with a smile.

The sect leaders secretly gritted their teeth, but what could they do? How could they not obey the leader's words?

If you don't obey, you will end up like Penglai Island!

Therefore, they could only pinch their noses and vote in favor one after another.

Only the old island owner, with red eyes, stood up and shouted hoarsely: "I don't agree!"

The smile on Xie Wanyou's face disappeared and he looked at Leader Duan uneasily.

Leader Duan frowned, and the elder of the Immortal Alliance standing next to him took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Old island leader, why do you disagree?"

"Why don't I agree?" The old island owner seemed to have heard something funny and twisted.

Face roared: "That is my Penglai Island! It was passed down to me by my master, and it is the foundation of Penglai Island's founder for thousands of years! I don't agree, shouldn't it?"

The old island owner looked crazy and raised his hand suddenly to point to Xie Wanyou: "Even if I want to give it to an outsider, I will never agree to give it to an outsider! Who is she? A hairy girl who has not even inherited Penglai Island's skills. If Penglai Island is given to

She and I have no shame in going down there to meet the founder of Penglai Island!"

"Old island owner, please calm down." The elder of the Immortal Alliance looked indifferent: "The Immortal Alliance has its rules. Since Penglai Island has joined the Immortal Alliance, it should abide by the rules of the Immortal Alliance. You should understand this."

The old island owner responded by overturning the table and saying with scarlet eyes: "I will never give Penglai Island to her. If she wants to take it, just step over my body!"

Xie Wanyou's face had turned ugly. She stood up, her face turning red.

After all, she was still young. Faced with such a situation, she couldn't say anything at all and could only turn her eyes to Leader Duan for help.

Leader Duan pressed his eyebrows and was about to speak when the closed door was suddenly knocked open.

A cold voice came in.

"We don't agree either."

In shock, everyone looked towards the door, only to see Duxuan Sword Master and others from Xuancang Sword Sect standing outside the door, with Master Bixiao and Taoist Xuanyou standing beside them.

Leader Duan stood up and frowned: "The Immortal Alliance is holding a general meeting, what do you mean?"

Xie Wanyou looked caught off guard and said at a loss: "Master... you, why are you here?"

Taoist Xuanyou was the first to speak. His face was full of coldness and he said in a cold voice: "Didn't I tell you last night not to take over as the island owner? Who asked you to come here?"

Xie Wanyou's eyes flickered, obviously feeling guilty: "I..."

Taoist Xuanyou has already stepped forward quickly, grabbed her hand angrily, and said coldly: "Go back with me, Xie Wanyou, I accept you as a disciple, not to let you join the Immortal League and become the island master!"

Xie Wanyou was dragged by him for a few steps and finally broke free from his hand.

Taoist Xuanyou turned back in disbelief: "You——"

Xie Wanyou avoided his gaze: "Master, why don't you understand? Even if I take over as the island master, I can still learn alchemy, but if I leave with you, I will only be a powerless alchemist for the rest of my life."

Taoist Xuanyou's face became even colder: "Okay, so you actually think this way. I treat you sincerely, but you despise me for being powerless?"

Xie Wanyou pursed her lips and didn't answer, but everyone could see that this was what she thought.

Taoist Xuanyou looked at her angrily, and regardless of the presence of others, he questioned her on the spot: "Do you know that the Xianmeng once forced the teacher out of the world of cultivation and gave the teacher such humiliation? How dare you

By joining them, are you deliberately killing my heart?"

With so many people watching, Xie Wanyou felt ashamed and stretched out his hand to pull Taoist Xuanyou: "Master, please go back first. I will tell you later."

"What the hell!" Taoist Xuanyou shook off her hand, pointed at her nose and said coldly: "I'm telling you, Xie Wanyou, if you dare to join the Immortal Alliance, don't call me master again in the future, do you understand?

"

After saying that, Taoist Xuanyou gave everyone around him a sharp glance and walked away, leaving Xie Wanyou standing awkwardly alone.

The various sect leaders couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied after seeing such a farce.

The scene where master and disciple turn against each other is really exciting.

Xie Wanyou stood frozen for a while and looked at Sect Leader Shen: "Master, Master Xuanyou..."

Sect Leader Shen looked calm and waved to her: "Wanyou, come out."

Xie Wanyou looked sad: "Master, do you and Master Xuanyou have the same idea?"

Sect Leader Shen only said tiredly: "The Bixiao Alchemy Sect has always been a neutral sect in the world of cultivation. You are a disciple of the Bixiao Alchemy Sect. Once you join the Immortal Alliance, where will the Bixiao Alchemy Sect be placed?"

At this time, Leader Duan, who had been silent all this time, came to Xie Wanyou's side and began to persuade him: "Sect Master Shen, this is a matter of Wanyou's future. Do you really want to ruin Wanyou's future for the Bixiao Dan Sect?"

?”

Xie Wanyou was a little shaken after hearing what Leader Duan said.

His expression changed.

She shook her head, smiled bitterly and said to Sect Leader Shen: "Master, I want to... have a go on my own."

Sect Master Shen sighed: "That's all, let you go, I can't control you anymore."

Without blaming Xie Wanyou, Sect Master Shen left silently.

In the end, only Duxuan Sword Master and others were left.

Rong Du had already seen Xie Wanyou's attitude clearly, so he simply asked: "Are you going back to Xuancang Sword Sect or to the Immortal Alliance?"

Xie Wanyou smiled: "Jianzun, you have removed me."

Rong Du's expression froze.

Xie Wanyou walked forward and closed the door. Xie Wanyou said to him: "I never told you that I hate practicing swordsmanship day after day year after year - it makes me feel very bored."

The door closed, blocking the face of Duxuan Sword Master that suddenly turned cold.

Xie Wanyou lowered his head and exhaled, turned to look at Alliance Leader Duan, and smiled again: "I'm sorry, you guys are laughing, let's continue."

Leader Duan looked at her deeply for a moment, and then returned to his seat.

Only the old island owner voted against it, so Xie Wanyou's appointment as the new island owner was finally approved.

At the end of the meeting, Leader Duan and Xie Wanyou talked alone for a while.

"Wanyou, don't think too much. Although your master doesn't support you now, in the future, when you become famous, they should be able to figure it out."

Xie Wanyou smiled reluctantly, with a bit of self-mockery in his eyes: "Is it possible? Master and the others are people who can't tolerate sand in their eyes. When that time comes, will they really accept me?"

"They will." Leader Duan said gently: "They will definitely do it."
