Super Double
In the Dragon-Seeking Sect, the elders' seats are held by those with the highest strength.
When it comes to strength, seniority and seniority take a backseat.
This is enough to show how outstanding Meng Yuyi's talent is that she was able to sit in the position of Second Elder.
After Meng Yuyi made her statement.
The Third Elder, seated at the front, also said in a deep voice, "I also believe that the Sect Leader is a peerless genius who has emerged out of nowhere. He recited sacred words and made a grand vow. This matter concerns the reputation of the entire sect and cannot be compromised. The Yama Holy Sect should be held accountable for its offense."
Ever since Chen Ning recited the sacred words that day, helping the Third Elder to further his understanding of Sword Dao, he had held this young sect leader in high regard.
But these words really surprised the others.
The Third Elder has always remained neutral and impartial.
This is the second person to express their opinion today.
Moreover, it's also about protecting the sect leader and holding the Yama Holy Sect accountable.
After the two heavyweights had expressed their opinions, Xiao Mei, sitting at the end of the table, covered her mouth and chuckled, "This humble woman also believes that this matter cannot be left unresolved. The Yama Holy Sect has acted far too presumptuously..."
In the end, everyone could hear the murderous intent in Xiao Mei's tone.
This person actually got angry.
Chen Ning's fate was now tied to whether she could gain more power, and since the Yama Holy Sect wanted to harm him, Xiao Mei was naturally the first to object.
The elders exchanged bewildered glances, taken aback.
Unexpectedly, this newly appointed sect leader has amassed such great power within the sect without anyone noticing.
So far, including the Grand Elder, there are four people who advocate holding Yama Holy Sect accountable.
However, things may take a turn for the better.
Nine elders were present, and at least five people had to second the motion for it to be considered finalized.
The Fourth Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "I do not advocate pursuing the matter of the Yama Holy Sect for three reasons."
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table turned their gaze to the Fourth Elder.
"Firstly, the whole story is clear. The sect leader is not in the right this time, and has already killed one of their Martial Venerable experts. It's already good enough that they haven't come looking for trouble."
"Secondly, the Yama Holy Sect, which guards Qian Province, is an ancient sect with a history of ten thousand years. It was already ranked among the top-tier sects many years before my Dragon-Seeking Sect. It has a profound foundation and cannot be easily provoked."
"Thirdly, and most importantly, the Realm of the Firmament is about to open, so it is not advisable to cause trouble at this time."
After stating the three reasons...
Someone immediately agreed, "The Fourth Elder is right!"
"Our sect leader hasn't suffered any loss. Give me some face, let's just let this matter drop."
"The Realm of the Firmament is the most important matter at present, and I also believe that we should not pursue the matter with the Yama Holy Sect."
"That's right. The Yama Holy Sect has always acted domineeringly. If we pursue this matter, they will definitely be quite tough, and it might even lead to war!"
"This generation's Yama Holy Lord is incredibly powerful; how could he possibly be intimidated by my Dragon-Seeking Sect?"
The fourth elder was the first to express his opinion.
Then several elders echoed their agreement.
The Fourth Elder was smug and full of confidence.
He was an undercover agent who managed to rise to the position of Fourth Elder, and he was quite capable.
See that!
Even the council of elders could be changed by him with just a few words.
He thoroughly enjoyed this pleasure.
For decades, he walked on thin ice within a super power like the Dragon-Seeking Sect, his disguise incredibly skillful.
Sometimes even he himself forgets that he is an undercover agent.
That's what you call professionalism.
However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
Eighth Elder Lin Xiaotian calmly spoke up, "I also believe that the sect leader should not be offended, and I agree to pursue the matter against the Yama Holy Sect."
In this way...
The current situation is five to four.
The Fourth Elder stared at Lin Xiaotian in disbelief.
What kind of airplane is this?
You were the one who instructed your subordinates to take advantage of the Azure Cloud Rite to remove Chen Ning from his position as sect leader.
Why have you suddenly sided with Chen Ning at this time?
Lin Xiaotian, on the other hand, looked completely at ease.
Although he was initially dissatisfied with the sect leader, he was the one who felt the pressure most directly from the Sword Immortal that time.
Later, he was tricked by the Qin Clan again in Gold and Iron City.
He then decided to become a salted fish.
Compared to the tragic end of the Ninth Elder, he was now quite content.
He summarized a law.
No matter who it is, they never have a good ending if they go against Chen Ning.
It was like a curse.
He looked coldly at the Fourth Elder, thinking to himself.
Let's use the Fourth Elder as an example.
If the Fourth Elder also doesn't fare well this time...
This confirmed the curse.
After the vote, Cang Yue looked around, then parted her red lips slightly:
"In that case, send a message to the Yama Holy Sect, demanding they be held accountable for offending the sect leader. They must pay the price!"
Cang Yue's hammer fell to the final blow.
Everyone bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.
Only the Fourth Elder curled his lip in disdain, thinking, "Do they really think the Yama Holy Sect is a pushover?"
You still want to question them?
If they come knocking on your door, don't blame me, your fourth brother, for not warning you.
Even if they attack, it can actually weaken the power of the Dragon-Seeking Sect.
The Fourth Elder sneered, waiting to see the show.
Qian Province.
Yama Holy Sect.
An island in the lake.
An elderly man with white hair and beard bowed to the Yama Holy Lord and said, "Saint Lord, the Dragon-Seeking Sect is pushing their luck! Our sect didn't even bother to reason with them, yet they came to question us instead. This is simply intolerable!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement.
That's outrageous!
That's outrageous!
Just now, Dragon-Seeking Sect sent a telepathic message questioning the Yama Holy Sect about their offense against their sect leader.
Such blatant pushing their luck angered the elders so much that their beards stood on end.
At this moment, three of the four elders are in seclusion, so they are all waiting for the Holy Lord's decision.
I can't take it anymore!
Let's start the war!
This will curb the arrogance of the Dragon-Seeking Sect!
"Holy Lord, we request permission to fight!"
"Holy Lord, we request permission to fight!"
The crowd was indignant, but Yama Holy Lord, frowned deeply.
If he wasn't certain before that Wang Feng had been exposed...
Now, having received the interrogative message from the Dragon-Seeking Sect, he could be certain.
Moreover, the young sect leader on the other side must have solid evidence.
Only then did they dare to kill Venerable Huang without any scruples.
That's why they dare to be so reckless.
I never expected this.
To have become the sect leader at such a young age, yet possessing such ruthless methods.
What does Chen Ning want?
The Yama Holy Lord knows this very well.
They simply wanted to acquire some of the treasures from the Yama Holy Sect.
Under normal circumstances, if anyone dared to cause trouble like this, he would have already sent people to wipe them out.
But right now we are at the mercy of others.
The young sect leader on the other side had him completely under his control.
We have no choice but to submit.
So he spoke in a deep voice, "What does the Dragon-Seeking Sect want?"
Everyone was taken aback, but still replied, "The Dragon-Seeking Sect demands that our Holy Sect apologize in person."
The elders gritted their teeth; how could their Holy Sect tolerate such a humiliating disgrace?
They are just waiting for the Holy Lord's order to storm the gates and let the Dragon-Seeking Sect witness the wrath of the Yama Holy Sect.
But unexpectedly...
The Yama Holy Lord nodded, then said, "Very well! Then my sect will apologize in person. I will personally go to Spirit Province and bring back a thousand High-Grade Origin Stone and two Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact as compensation."
"No problem, Your Majesty. Just give the order, and I'll lead my troops to attack your door... Hmm?"
An elder realized what the Yama Holy Lord had said and his expression immediately turned strange.
Not only did the Holy Lord agree to the other party's request, but he even went so far as to double it?
Are you kidding me?!
