Eight elders spoke one after another. Zhou Yuanzheng nodded and said: "All the elders and Elder Li who went to the mine have expressed their attitudes. What you all said is from the standpoint of our Xuanfu Sect and is all for the sake of safeguarding our sect.

Majesty, this is very good. Since everyone agrees, then our sect will give him an attitude: support the Blue Beast Palace to monopolize the West City. As for other details, you can reply later after discussion."

"Yes!" all the elders responded in unison.

Master Tianyang said again: "Next, let's discuss the matter of Wanjian Sect. You can speak freely and don't have any worries." This was obviously to appease those who had different opinions. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ge Shuteng.

Ge Shuteng understood and said loudly to the people standing on both sides: "The executioners of each hall will step back first. Li Zhen from Wenfeng Hall is waiting for questions."

"Yes." The deacons standing on both sides exited the hall one after another.

"Now, Li Zhenzhi will talk about the current situation of Wanjianmen in advance." Ge Shuteng said.

"Sect Master, elders, news has just come from Wanjian Sect. Sect Master Qiangxian has not commented on the great changes in Anping City and has not expressed his position. However, he has criticized the Sect Master's ascension to the throne. Elder Li has also sent a personal letter from the Sect Master.

Send Qiangxian, the letter should be on its way."

After saying that, Li Zhen secretly glanced at the big chair in the middle.

Seeing that there was no response, he continued: "According to the information obtained by the disciples of Wenfeng Hall, Qiang Xian will not turn to our sect and may remain neutral at the moment. In addition, there are two latest messages: First, Tongzhou Trading Company has sent

People rushed to Wanjianmen, seemingly trying to win over him. Secondly, Sima Ling'er has also fled to Wanjian Island."

Master Tianyang nodded, Li Zhen, the deacon of Wenfeng Hall, bowed and exited the hall.

"Huh, Tongzhou Trading Company first sat on the sidelines and watched, and then secretly started doing things that were shady." Xiang Jun, the elder of the darkroom, snorted coldly.

The elders were dumbfounded, what you did in the darkroom was all shady, but now you say that Tongzhou Trading Company did shady things, which is a bit funny.

"It is expected that Sima Ling'er fled to Wanjianmen. That girl is not in danger. It is better that we don't rush to kill her." Du Qingquan, the elder of Fufang, said again.

Master Tianyang raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

"Others may eventually support the sect leader, but that girl will definitely not, and uncle and nephew Sima will become a problem for our sect sooner or later." Ge Shuteng has been observing the changes in Zhou Yuan's face, and now he understands in his heart, so he

Speak up at the right time.

"Sima family members, please wait and discuss later." Zhou Yuanzheng waved his hand. He would not tolerate the descendants of the Sima family remaining in the world, but he did not want to follow the truth, so it was inconvenient to discuss the matter in public.

"What the sect leader said is that the Sima clan is nothing to worry about. But the Tongzhou Trading Company is already powerful, and it doesn't hurt to have another Wanjian Sect. However, among the four major sects in Anping City, our sect is not dominant, and the Cangshou Palace

There is a vague tendency to catch up from behind.

In the past, our sect was on par with the Three Saints Sect in terms of strength, but now it is slightly inferior. One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and the situation is not optimistic." Hu Chengjun, the elder of the alchemy room, continued to speak.

"Although our sect is an alliance with the Three Saints Sect, we certainly cannot follow its lead. If that is the case, it will not be a situation of four strong forces standing side by side, but a situation of two strong and two weak. Moreover, the mines that our sect has discovered will also have to compete with the Three Saints Sect.

Evenly divided, the opportunity and advantage have been lost. If our sect does not make plans early, the future will be worrying.

Therefore, my suggestion is to try to maintain good relations with all factions, and the same goes for Wanjianmen." He said a lot and his attitude was clear.

Master Tianyang's face was a little gloomy. Under these circumstances, he understood that sharing the new mineral vein equally with the Three Saints Sect, which had been negotiated before, was a prerequisite for obtaining the full help of the Three Saints Sect, and he had personally agreed to it.

But what Hu Chengjun said is not unreasonable. If this continues, Xuanfu Sect will have no advantage at all, and it will really become one of the two weakest.

Master Tianyang felt a little irritated, but his face remained calm, and he asked again: "What good advice do the elders have?"

"Sect Master, our sect should not be too impatient with the Wanjian Sect. We should show it well. Otherwise, our sect will be passive regardless of which sect it favors. What we hope to see is that the Wanjian Sect remains neutral.

Also, Sima Ling'er can't move for the time being to show the sect leader's big heart, which is equivalent to giving Wanjianmen face." Kong Shuangcheng, the new elder of the Du branch, said.

The other elders nodded without speaking, seemingly supporting the above suggestions.

However, Xiang Jun, the elder of the darkroom, said: "If the strong string is stubborn and does not work, please ask the master to make a decision early." He is not afraid of chaos. The more chaotic the darkroom, the more important it becomes.

There are only two opinions among the elders. One is to exert pressure. Even the elder of the dark room means to carry out a beheading operation if he does not listen to orders and make him disappear forever. The other opinion is to repair or stabilize Wanjianmen first to balance

The situation prevails.

Tianyang Zhenren is inclined to the second opinion. After all, Wanjianmen has an alliance with Xuanfu Sect before. It is very inappropriate for him to have a military conflict as soon as he takes power. However, he is not willing to let the Sima family go, so it is difficult for him to do so.

Decided, silent.

The current situation in Anping City is unstable. He has recently ascended to the throne and it is not easy to make enemies. He should focus on appeasing people's hearts and stabilizing the situation. Therefore, he repeatedly emphasized that he must first calm people's hearts and then respond to changes.

Moreover, he also believes that Xuanfu Sect's current strength has weakened. Not only has it lost the support of Wanjianmen, it has also lost its interests in Xicheng. The discovered mineral veins have also been equally divided by the Three Holy Sects. If the decision at this time is wrong, it will inevitably

It will bring disaster to the sect.

At that time, the position of sect leader that I have fought so hard for may not be guaranteed, and a hundred years of hard work will be in vain, so I must treat it with caution.

"Everyone!" Tianyang Zhenren pressed his hands and said in a deep voice: "The current situation is chaotic, and the situation of the top four in Anping has been formed. Since our sect has recognized the status of Cangshou Palace, Tongzhou Trading Bank will definitely have no objections, and

The Three Saints Sect will eventually recognize it. This is the overall situation, the overall situation has been decided, and people's minds are at peace. The elders should focus on appeasing the people of this department and protecting the foundation of our sect."

After saying this, Zhou Yuanzheng paused, looked at everyone's reaction, and then said: "As long as Wanjianmen doesn't clearly express hostility to our sect, then we will ignore it. As for repairing it, there is no need. Just now Wenfengtang

You have also heard the message, as long as Qiang Xian is there, Wanjianmen will not get close to our sect, so we don’t have to bother to win over him anymore."

"Sect Master Mingjian!" Seeing that Master Tianyang stopped talking again, Ge Shuteng raised his hands in agreement, and everyone also agreed.

Zhou Yuanzheng waved his hand and said: "It's good that Qiang Xian understands the truth. If you dare to provoke our sect, the matter can only be handled by the darkroom, and the black-armored guards will respond from the side."

"I understand!" Xiang Jun and Ge Shuteng responded in unison.

"The top priority now is to deal with the matter of the new mineral vein. The sooner this is done, the sooner our sect will become stronger. Only when we are strong will we have the right to speak. This matter will be handled by Elder Geshu and Elder Kong together.

Okay, let's discuss the third matter now, the selection of the Dharma-protecting elders and the Gong-passing elders. Everyone, please talk about it," Zhou Yuanzheng said again.

"It all depends on the decision of the sect leader!" Regarding the important matter of the appointment and dismissal of the elders in the sect, no one dared to discuss the matter. The new sect leader should have already had a candidate in mind. If he made a mistake, it would be self-inflicted, so they unanimously agreed that Zhou Yuanzheng would make the final decision.

"You're welcome. The duties of the two elders of protecting the Dharma and transmitting the power are extremely important. Those who do not have advanced realms and qualifications cannot be qualified for it. Currently, all those who meet the requirements in the sect are sitting here. Except for you, there is no one else who can take on this important task. I am sitting here. What I mean is that Ge Shu will be in charge and will also serve as the Dharma Protector Elder, and Xiang Jun will be in charge as the Dharma Protector Elder. Do you have any objections?"

"We will obey!" all the elders said in unison.

As for Sima Zheng's die-hard subordinates, he has not yet decided how to deal with them. As Zhou Yang guessed, this is the time for Xuanfu Sect to employ people. If he can persuade them to obey orders, he will entrust them with important tasks. .

The previous four elders of Dharma Protector, Gong Gong, Punishment, and Duozhi were all highly skilled in cultivation. The sect spent many years cultivating them and spent a lot of resources on them.

Moreover, talents are rare. If they were all removed, the sect's strength would be greatly damaged, and he was unwilling to do so.

But if these people are still stubborn, he will not be polite and can only bear the pain and kill them, but it is not appropriate to put this matter in the open.

The affairs of the Xuanfu Sect's Elders' Council basically determine the current situation in Anping City, because Tongzhou Commercial Bank has long been in secret communication with Cangshou Palace, and the Three Saints Sect will probably acquiesce in the coexistence of the top four, although only the Xuanfu Sect has expressed its stance. But it also clarified the future direction of Anping City.

The results of this meeting also showed that Sima Ling'er and others were safe for the time being.

But at this time, Sima Ling'er and his party were still flying through the air and had no idea what was happening in the city.

They have been flying on the giant eagle for several hours. The speed of the giant eagle has slowed down, and the spirit beast will also become tired.

But they didn't dare to stay. There might be a large number of pursuers behind them. If Li Chengdao came in person, they would definitely fall into a situation that would never be recovered.

At this time, two giant eagles were flying over a grassland. The grassland was covered with thorns and weeds, with only a few low trees and some exposed mounds. The mounds were surrounded by scattered gravel, and the little beasts were on them. Jumping around.

"Miss, we need to speed up. There are a lot of flying monsters in this grassland. If we encounter them, we will be in trouble." Pu Zheng reminded loudly.

"I understand." Sima Ling'er in front also responded loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she made a sound and saw a moving dark cloud in the sky a few miles ahead, flying towards them.

As the distance got closer, the clouds turned into dense black dots.

"It's a wolf-headed bird. There are too many of them. Let's turn to the southwest quickly!" Pu Zheng shouted.

Sima Ling'er's expression changed, and she hurriedly patted the giant eagle and turned to fly southwest.

The small black dots were moving very quickly, becoming clearer and clearer. Zhou Yang could even see the bloody mouths of those strange birds.

The body of the wolf-headed bird is not big, and its wings are only a few feet long, but its head is similar to that of a small green wolf, but it is even more ferocious than the green wolf.

This bird is a third-level high-level monster, but there are so many of them that some of them must have evolved to the fourth level.
