The ranking of the ten elders is obviously not based on their cultivation level.
Among these ten people, the most powerful one is the law enforcement elder, but he is ranked third.
"Ying Rui, you are anxious to come here today, but what big thing happened to the sect?"
The one who spoke was the Great Elder. As the most senior person in the sect, among the younger ones here, even when he had just become a disciple, the Great Elder was already a very important figure in the sect.
At the same time, only he and the second elder could speak to the law enforcement elder in this tone. The rest, even Elder Dan, although not afraid of the law enforcement elder, had some scruples.
"An old thing who relies on his old age and sells his old age!"
The law enforcement elder sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He smiled slightly and said, "Great elder, and everyone, I have called you here today for something important."
At this moment, nine of the ten elders appeared, but the only one missing was the elder from the dark hall.
However, everyone is accustomed to it. After all, they have not seen the elder of Antang for hundreds of years. Even Luo Yuntian, the youngest among them, has never seen the elder of Antang at all.
"What's important? What's important? You actually need to bring us all together? Ying Rui, do you know that only when it's about the life and death of the sect, or when it's a decisive issue, we people will gather together, don't you think so?"
Is the important matter related to this?"
The second person to speak was the elder of the Materia Medica Hall. As the Materia Medica Hall responsible for all the elixirs of the sect, although it seems to have little real power, few people are willing to offend it. It is the same as the Dan Hall, although the real power is not as strong as that of the Wugong Pavilion and others.
Elder, but his hidden influence cannot be ignored.
When hearing the questions from the elders of the Materia Medica Hall, whether they knew it well or pretended to be confused, they were all superficial.
Perhaps, only the First Elder and the Second Elder, who have always chosen to remain in seclusion and have ignored the secular world for many years, will be truly kept in the dark.
Sure enough, the great elder frowned and asked, "Oh? What big things happened to the sect recently?"
"Great Elder, you really don't know, right? Or are you just pretending to be confused?"
With a sneer, the elder of the Wugong Pavilion suddenly launched an attack, causing the atmosphere among everyone to suddenly become strange.
Everyone knows that the elders of Wugong Pavilion and the law enforcement elders are very close, and the great elder is the biggest supporter behind the sect leader. This has undoubtedly secretly declared war.
"Speak clearly!"
The great elder also felt that something was wrong with the problem, his face darkened, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces.
"Actually, today, there is something that requires everyone to make a decision together. This is also a major event related to the fate of our sect."
Elder Chuan Gong has always been in the sect and is a good old man with a smile on his face. However, Li Ye, who is standing behind Elder Dan, knows that this person has secretly reached an agreement with the law enforcement elder. Now he is just with Wugong Pavilion.
Elders, one plays a bad role and the other plays a red face, reflecting each other from afar.
"Where's the sect leader?"
Suddenly, the second elder seemed to remember something and asked a question.
At this time, everyone's expressions were quite strange, among which the elders of Wugong Pavilion and Bencao Hall had sneers on their faces.
At this time, no matter how slow the first elder reacted, he knew what the problem was. His face suddenly darkened. He and the second elder looked at each other, and both could see the worry in the other's eyes.
"There is no need to look for the great elder. Now the sect leader of our sect has been missing for a long time!"
The elder of Bencaotang chuckled, his tone was a bit sinister, and at the same time he secretly exchanged a look with the law enforcement elder.
"Missing?!"
Perhaps he had been in seclusion for too long. The great elder's expression was moved and his voice suddenly became louder.
Li Ye could tell from the very beginning that the First Elder and the Second Elder were actually approaching their end. In other words, if they were unable to take that step, they would soon be facing a situation where they would lose their skills and wait to die.
This is also the reason why the two of them have been choosing to retreat for hundreds of years. They are making their final struggle.
If it weren't for the Elders' Meeting, the two of them would definitely not have left seclusion.
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Nowadays, the sect cannot leave the sect leader vacant for a long time, so I suggest that we elect another person to become the sect leader of our sect!"
The fox's tail was finally revealed. The elder of the Wugong Pavilion was the first to propose. Before the great elder could react, the punishment elder on the other side nodded and said, "That's right. There has been no news from Master Shui for a long time. Maybe he has encountered something unexpected.
It is better to temporarily elect someone to act as the acting sect leader. If Ruoshui Zhenren comes back, everyone will naturally be happy. If she really encounters an unexpected event, she can avoid being taken advantage of."
When the two of the ten elders made a proposal, even the great elder had to think carefully.
However, he still looked at the others and asked at the same time, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be easily concluded!"
"The Great Elder's words are wrong. The country cannot live without a king, and the sect cannot live without a sect leader. Especially now, the Qianlong Conference will start in a short time. The heads of the major sects will be present by then. If I
The vacancy of the leader of Bishuixuan will not only become a laughing stock among colleagues in the world, but it will also easily allow the young people to take the opportunity to cause chaos!"
Elder Chuan Gong narrowed his eyes, these words sounded quite pertinent, and he was judging from the perspective of the sect.
Although the great elder had a high prestige, he was suddenly in a dilemma and couldn't help but turn his attention to his junior brother, the second elder.
"Second brother, what do you think?"
The two have had hundreds of years of friendship, and the only one who can be trusted by the Great Elder at this moment is the Second Elder.
"Senior brother, this matter is indeed of great importance. In my opinion, it is better to let someone temporarily act as the sect leader to stabilize people's hearts."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people present were very exciting!
Everyone knows that the second elder, like the first elder, initially supported Shui Linglong to become the sect leader and was a representative figure of the royalist faction, but now his words suddenly changed.
The Great Elder was the most surprised person. If he hadn't known that the person in front of him could not be someone else who disguised himself as someone else, he might have really doubted whether he was a fellow disciple that he had known for hundreds of years.
"The second elder is right. In this case, in my opinion, in terms of cultivation and prestige in the sect now, the law enforcement elder is the best choice. If he has the position of acting sect leader, the entire sect should be
No objection."
The elder of Wugong Pavilion chuckled and was the first to express his stance.
Immediately, the Punishment Elder nodded, followed by the Chuan Gong Elder. All three of them agreed at once, leaving the Great Elder no time to react.
Obviously, everything was planned, and the biggest surprise was the incomprehensible stance of the second elder.
