On the other side, looking at the devastated Tianshu City, Elder Huan and Elder Fei were also helpless.
Elder Huan was about to say something when he heard Fei Fan speak expressionlessly: "Elder Huan, Tianshu City is currently suffering serious damage from monsters. Although Chief Chenming is already on the way, he should still be here."
It will take a long time to arrive. But we are not helpless. The sect has one last resort to suppress the situation, and you must be very aware of it..."
Elder Huan certainly knows what the so-called means of suppressing the situation are.
When the Mountain Eagle Sect was established, the founder of the sect once raised a giant eagle in the early stage of Nascent Soul as a demon pet. It was with this powerful demon pet in the Nascent Soul stage that the Mountain Eagle Sect was able to survive in the Tianshu Mountains surrounded by demons.
Stand firm, and the Mountain Eagle Sect and Ying Xiangding are named after this Nascent Soul stage demon pet.
After thousands of years have passed, even the long-lived demon clan has turned into loess. However, before this great demon in the Nascent Soul Stage passed away, he once left three rays of divine thoughts on Yingxiangding to protect the sect, and was known to the world as
The Soul of the Mountain Eagle.
If the sect encounters a crisis, it can awaken the soul of the mountain eagle by consuming thousands of spirit stones.
The power of the Soul of the Mountain Eagle is very powerful, almost equivalent to a full-strength strike by an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul monk. Not to mention wiping out the Black Pool Dragon King, even Chen Ming, the leader of the Mountain Eagle Sect, cannot resist it.
It's a pity that the Soul of the Mountain Eagle only has three chances to use it. In the history of the Mountain Eagle Sect for thousands of years, it has been used twice by the Mountain Eagle Sect in critical moments. Now there is only one last chance to use it. Fei Fan said
The means to suppress the situation mentioned above is exactly this last step of the Soul of the Mountain Eagle.
It's just that the Soul of the Mountain Eagle is the ultimate strategic trump card of the Mountain Eagle Faction. Using this life-saving trump card to prevent monsters from destroying Tianshu City will definitely be suspected of being overqualified and will inevitably cause huge controversy afterwards.
But today, on the walls of the outer city, there are still some besieged monks in the foundation-building period from other places. The situation is very critical. If Fei Fan insists on not using the Soul of the Eagle, he will also be suspected of refusing to save them.
If the foundation-building elders of other sects die in Tianshu City because of the Shanying Sect's unwillingness to save others, it will not only cause diplomatic disputes among the various cultivation sects, but even the Wuliang Sword Sect will hold the relevant personnel accountable.
Therefore, no matter which choice decision makers make, they will need to bear tremendous pressure.
Although Elder Huan personally believes that at this time, he should decisively activate the Soul of the Mountain Eagle to stop losses in time, but in the face of such a major decision-making issue, even if he lends Elder Huan ten courages, he would not dare to jump out and take responsibility.
Fei Fan saw Elder Huan saying nothing and pretending to be mute, so he didn't know what he was thinking.
So he asked directly: "Junior brother Huan An, do you think we should use the soul of the mountain eagle?"
Seeing Fei Fan directly addressing him as a senior brother, Elder Huan, who has a keen sense of politics, suddenly became alert.
Faced with this kind of soul torture, it was definitely impossible for him to answer directly, so he kicked the ball back decisively: "Senior Brother Fei, you are the acting head of the Mountain Eagle Sect. Junior brother, the acting head makes all the decisions!"
If Fei Fan plans to make the decision on his own, there is no need to consult Huan An. Elder Huan is well aware of this. However, the responsibility of using the Soul of the Eagle is too heavy, and even the acting head Fei Fan is not willing to bear it.
This ordinary elder was even more unable to accept this hot potato, so he could only pretend not to understand what Fei Fan meant.
However, Fei Fan is also an old and cunning person. How could he let Elder Huan go so easily? He immediately retorted: "Although I am the acting leader of the sect, our Shanying Sect has never made a single statement. We all have to make collective decisions."
!”
Hearing Fei Fan throw the blame away like this, Huan An couldn't help but secretly cursed:
Who doesn’t know how to sing a high note?
But the key to the matter is who will bear the responsibility. You don’t want to take responsibility but still want to do things. Isn’t this a daydream?
So Elder Huan followed Fei Fan's words and said: "What Senior Brother Fei said is that collective decision-making is also the sect management model advocated by Wuliang Sword Sect. But no matter how everyone makes collective decisions, in the end, you, the acting head, still have to make the decision personally.
!”
Elder Huan is also an expert in kicking football. He always insists on "acting as the leader" and insists on making Fei Fan bear the decision-making responsibility.
However, Fei Fan seemed to have expected it and said: "Junior Brother Huan, you are the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall, so you will come up with a charter and seek the opinions of the elders first. After the elders have no different opinions, you will report it to me.
decision!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Huan suddenly realized that he had been fooled.
Since he doesn't want to take this hot potato, other elders don't want to take it either. We are all elders of the Mountain Eagle Sect at the same level. If Fei Fan doesn't need the authority of the acting leader, how can the other elders agree to his constitution?
Everyone elected you, Fei Fan, as the current leader because they are counting on you to make decisions. If we, the subordinates, can reach an agreement, what else do we need you as the acting leader?
The so-called "let the elders reach an agreement first" is simply an impossible task. This person named Fei probably has no intention of using the soul of the mountain eagle at all, but intends to let the monsters destroy Tianshu City!
It is impossible for Fei Fan to sneak into the position of acting head without some political skills.
Originally, he, the acting head, should be fully responsible for the consequences of his refusal to use the Soul of the Eagle. However, by arranging an impossible task, Elder Huan, the common man who was the loser, directly took the blame. And Fei Fan had not yet
He said that he did not make decisions, but asked the people below to come up with a charter first, so as to avoid leaving the excuse of "not taking responsibility and not taking action".
Elder Huan thought for a long time and didn't know how to refute.
Preventing the leaders of local sects from making a single statement is itself the governing policy of the Wuliangjian Sect. He cannot openly jump out and say that there is a problem with the Wuliangjian Sect's governing philosophy, and that our Shanying Sect should be ruled by head Fei Dai...
Seeing that Elder Huan was hesitant and unwilling to move, Fei Fan said expressionlessly: "Junior Brother Huan, what are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and seek the opinions of the elders! As the acting leader, I still need to personally take charge of the battlefield.
I can wait for your good news."
Fei Fan's high-sounding and hypocritical speech made Elder Huan so angry that he wanted to smash his old face with a brick.
Just when Huan An was forced to leave, a communication spell suddenly came from the horizon in the distance and fell directly into Fei Fan's hands.
After receiving this communication spell, Fei Fan closed his eyes for a moment and showed a rare smile: "Junior brother Huan, the leader of Chenming just sent a communication. He has arrived at the boundary of Luoxia City, less than one block away from Tianshu City.
It’s only an hour’s journey!”
When Elder Huan heard this, he couldn't help showing an astonished expression.
Head Chen Ming came so quickly?
The headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect is thousands of miles away from Tianshu City. Even if the Golden Core Stage monks go all out, it will take seven or eight hours. According to previous news, leader Chen Ming should be holding a debriefing meeting at the headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect today.
Even if he rushed back as soon as he received the news about Fei Fan, he couldn't have arrived so quickly!
However, the arrival of Head Chen Ming finally relieved the situation for Elder Huan who was unable to come to the stage. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said: "Since Head Chen Ming is about to arrive, I think it's too late to ask for advice now...
"
Fei Fan also nodded and said: "Since it's too late, let's forget it."
After several confrontations between the two elders, the important decision that was supposed to be made immediately was left unfinished.
The disciples who were watching were also a little confused:
Two great elders, should we use our sect’s treasure, the Mountain Eagle Soul, or not?
