Hong An sat down on the golden chair and immediately became calm and confident.
The disciples of the Shenlong Sect immediately raised their hands as if to worship, "See the leader, the leader will enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as heaven!"
Hong Antong smiled kindly, "Pingshen!"
The disciples stood up. Hong Antong glanced at everyone in the hall and leaned on the chair with his eyes half closed. It seemed that he did not see Murong Fu, Yuan Chengzhi and others at all. Then a disciple who followed Hong Antong came forward and opened a book.
The booklet read aloud: "Respectfully read the Precepts of Mercy and Enlightenment. Keep the Precepts of Master Hong in your heart at all times. Make meritorious deeds to defeat the enemy and be invincible... Master Hong will enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven!"
They were all praising Hong Antong. Murong Fu secretly curled his lips after listening to this. Hong Antong was also a top performer, even more so than Ding Chunqiu and Dongfang Bubai. Ding Chunqiu only had people shout a few slogans of "boundless power", but Dongfang didn't.
Bubai is a master of unparalleled martial arts, and there are only a few people in the world who can surpass him. It is not too much to say that he has "a martial virtue that lasts for thousands of years."
This Hong Antong actually asked his subordinates to write those words that praised him into a pamphlet, which was so shameless.
After the disciple finished reading the pamphlet, Hong Antong opened his eyes and said, "Since the founding of our religion, we have gone through countless ups and downs. Fortunately, our brothers have fought hard and made great contributions, so that our religion has today's foundation. But there are some
People, however, rely on their old age and act on their old age, relying on themselves as the old people in the religion, acting in a submissive manner, not paying attention to things, and neglecting the great cause of the religion, which is really annoying!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Five Dragon Envoys, Lu Gaoxuan and other elders in the sect changed slightly, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Here we come!"
The young disciples looked angry. Suddenly, a young disciple came out and said, "Dare you ask the leader to tell me who this person is? He is so bold that he should enter the Longtan!"
Hong Antong seemed to smile with some satisfaction, and then waved his hand to let the disciple return to the queue, then turned to look at White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling, "White Dragon Envoy, how many volumes of the forty-two chapters I asked you to collect have been collected?
?”
Zhong Zhiling trembled and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "To report to the leader, the insiders sent to the Qing court by my subordinates have only been collected so far... I have collected a copy, and I have... handed it over to Mrs. Hong!"
Su Quan smiled coquettishly, "Mr. Bai Long said that wrong. I went to get it myself, not you."
Zhong Zhiling's face paled slightly, and he immediately knelt down and said: "Please give me another chance, the leader, and I will definitely submit all the remaining forty-two chapters to the leader!"
Hong Antong snorted coldly, "Opportunities? I have given you so many opportunities, but after so many years, what have you given me in return?"
Zhong Zhiling's body trembled slightly, his face turned pale, and then a hint of anger flashed through him, "There is no need to accuse others. It was originally rumored in the sect that the sect would suppress the elderly and re-employ newcomers, but the subordinates did not believe it at all. Unexpectedly...unexpectedly
Ah..." At the end of his sentence, his tone turned sad.
The other four dragon envoys looked at Zhong Zhiling with sadness, sympathy, and even a little gloating. After all, among the five dragon envoys, Zhong Zhiling was the most loyal to the leader.
A look of shame and anger flashed across Hong Antong's face, "That's nonsense. You didn't do things well first, but you say that I deliberately inflicted crimes on you. You really deserve death!"
Yuan Chengzhi and others knew that the Qing army was about to attack in the blink of an eye. Killing the high-status White Dragon Envoy at this time would be tantamount to killing a general on the spot. It was really inappropriate. They wanted to give some advice, but this was their internal affairs.
, speaking rashly will only cause displeasure and will be detrimental to subsequent cooperation.
Su Quan was about to speak when Murong Fu's lips moved slightly, but he said through the voice: "Please help Zhong Zhiling to plead for mercy. No matter whether it succeeds or not, let him remember your goodness!"
Su Quan was stunned for a moment, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Master, although Zhong Zhiling did not do things well, it was thanks to the help of the people he sent that I was able to get the forty-two chapters.
It can be considered as offsetting part of the guilt, so why not give him a chance to make meritorious deeds?"
When Zhong Zhiling heard this, he glanced at Su Quan with hopeful eyes. For the first time, he felt that this charming and lovely lady was so pleasing to his eyes.
Hong Antong glanced at Su Quan in confusion, which seemed to be different from what he had agreed upon in advance. Although this lady had always been wise and resourceful, she had already said those words before. If she changed her words again, it would be harmful to her.
His majesty was compromised, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He snorted coldly, "No, once this is done, who will be willing to serve me with all my heart in the future?"
Zhong Zhiling's face darkened slightly, and he cried and laughed at the same time, "Hahaha, with this leader, the Shenlong Sect is not far from destruction!"
Hong Antong was immediately furious, "Here comes the dragon!"
Zhong Zhiling's face paled slightly, he stood up and rushed out of the hall.
Hong Antong just gave him a cold look and had no intention of getting up and chasing after him.
Just when Zhong Zhiling was about to run out of the hall, several young men suddenly appeared from the crowd. With a flash of sword light, several long swords pierced Zhong Zhiling's body at the same time.
When Zhong Zhiling was shocked, a "brush" sounded, and the long sword with him pulled out, his body turned around in the air, and the long sword danced a circle.
He blocked all his killing moves.
The disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect hurriedly retreated to both sides, creating an open space.
There were seven young men in total. Although they were neutralized by the killing move, their positions were exactly surrounding Zhong Zhiling, with their long swords pointed at Zhong Zhiling.
Zhong Zhiling looked back at Hong Antong and sighed sadly: "The leader must have been preparing to use these young men to deal with his subordinates!"
Hong Antong's face turned slightly dark and he remained silent.
"Kill!" the seven teenagers shouted in unison, stabbing Zhong Zhiling straight with their swords.
Although these young men's swordsmanship is exquisite, each of them only has one or two moves. If faced alone, they are no match for Zhong Zhiling. But when they work together, they complement each other and have endless changes, and they also seem to be restrained against Zhong Zhiling.
, forcing Zhong Zhiling to be in a hurry.
The other four dragon envoys recognized that the martial arts of these young men had to be passed on to the leader, and they couldn't help but feel a little chilly in their hearts. It seemed that what Zhong Zhiling said was true. These young men had been prepared to deal with him for a long time. Maybe not only Zhong Zhiling, but also himself.
These people were on the assassination list and wanted to save them, but they didn't dare. After all, the thing wasn't effective yet, and if they tried to scare the snake, they would be in vain.
