Sect Assembly
When Dugu Bo and Wu Qi met, they didn't hide it from anyone.
The first few families to join the sect knew Wu Qi's identity, but they couldn't spread the word. The families that joined later were unaware of this, and having never seen the Sect Master so enthusiastic towards anyone, they immediately began to discuss Wu Qi's identity.
Bai He, who was in charge of summoning people, heard these discussions and couldn't help but scold, "Don't discuss things you shouldn't. You few, go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and invite Sovereign Ning here. Tell him that a guest whom even the Sect Master treats with great respect has come to the Righteous Unity Sect, and we invite him to come for a meeting."
This is what makes a qualified Subordinate!
Wu Qi swaggered into the Righteous Unity Sect and convened Sect Assembly; the next thing to discuss must be important matters.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School is a member of the Spirit Hall, and their cooperation is needed for some matters. If they were to call for help afterward, it would inevitably take too much time. Calling for help now, combined with Ning Fengzhi's guessing of the person's identity and the time spent traveling, would ensure that they arrive at the Righteous Unity Sect just in time.
In addition to the Six Halls, the Righteous Unity Sect has Three New Halls.
The leaders of the three halls are all Soul Douluo. Although the sect does not keep many things from them, over time they inevitably become aware of some of the sect's deeper secrets.
Not long ago, the six Elder went to the sect's Main Hall for a meeting, but they were not invited.
The three Elder gathered together and began to complain.
The outspoken Shu Chenfeng complained loudly, "They say joining a sect means we're all family, but they hold Elder Council in secret. They don't treat us like human beings at all."
"If the situation on the mainland hadn't deteriorated to this state, I wouldn't even bother joining."
Huai Yu, dressed as a middle-aged scholar, sighed and gestured with his hand, "Old Shu, since joining the sect, we have truly received benefits that we couldn't have imagined before, and our lives are more hopeful than before. That's an undeniable fact."
"We are not founding members of the sect, so it's normal for us to be excluded from core matters. It's no big deal, why get so angry?"
Shu Chenfeng cursed, "I think you've lost your mind, why are you taking their side like this?"
"Old Teng, you be the judge! We are Elder too, why weren't we invited to the Sect Assembly!"
Teng Bochuan was a thin, old man who always had a smiling face and never offended anyone.
Just as the three were arguing, the door was pushed open.
Upon seeing the Bai He crane, the three of them suddenly stood up, looking somewhat flustered and uneasy, afraid that their words might have been overheard.
Bai He's stern expression suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile, "So the three Elder are here. The Elder Council about to start, hurry up and come with me, we have important matters to discuss today."
Shu Chenfeng and Huai Yu exchanged a glance, thinking that the Sect Master knew their thoughts and was going to punish them at the assembly.
For a moment, the two couldn't help but blame each other.
As they drew closer to the sect's main Main Hall, Shu Chenfeng and Huai Yu grew increasingly anxious, even asking Bai He for an explanation, "Elder Bai He, what exactly happened in the sect? Why is there a sudden Elder Council?"
Bai He had naturally heard the argument, but since Wu Qi didn't seem to care, he wasn't angry either. He casually replied, "You'll find out when we get there. It's not convenient to talk about it now."
These words seemed to preserve the mystery of Wu Qi's appearance, but to Shu Chenfeng and the other two, they didn't think so; they believed it was a genuine threat of punishment.
Filled with immense fear, the three entered the sect's Main Hall with Bai He.
As the Main Hall doors opened, they saw Dugu Bo chatting and laughing with the other Elder. The three of them knew it was a false alarm and breathed a sigh of relief.
When they looked closely, they realized that the person sitting in the chief seat was not the Sect Master Dugu Bo, but a young man they had never seen before.
For a moment, the three had different thoughts, and only stopped when they heard Dugu Bo urging them.
Feng Changlin warmly introduced the three to Wu Qi, saying, "Gentlemen, let me introduce you. This is the actual controller of the sect, and also an old friend of our Sect Master, Elder Wu Qi of the Spirit Hall."
The three of them had naturally heard of Wu Qi's reputation.
As a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius of the Spirit Hall, his growth path has repeatedly become the focus of attention across the entire continent.
But who could have imagined that in just over a decade, Wu Qi would grow into a powerful figure on the continent with unfathomable strength?
However, what the three cared about was not Wu Qi, but his identity.
So, doesn't that mean the Righteous Unity Sect has become a henchman of the Spirit Hall? Then what about all the effort they put into joining the sect?
Perhaps guessing their thoughts, Wu Qi smiled and explained, "The three Elder need not be so formal. The sect is only responsible to me and does not need to take orders from the Spirit Hall, so you can rest assured in this regard."
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin the Elder Council. This is my first time presiding over and participating in the Righteous Unity Sect's Elder Council. You are all more familiar with the sect's situation than I am, so please feel free to speak your minds."
After listening to Wu Qi's speech, Shu Chenfeng and the other two exchanged glances again.
It seems that Wu Qi is different from the other Elder of the Spirit Hall. He doesn't have that arrogant air about him. Instead, he exudes a peaceful and gentle aura that makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.
This natural affinity was not feigned, and the anxiety in the three people's hearts was temporarily relieved.
Next, Dugu Bo led the way in reporting on the sect's achievements.
Reporting in public allows for mutual supervision, eliminating any possibility of deception. The Elder actively reported their work achievements, while also humbly seeking guidance on areas for improvement.
The work report concluded after about One Incense Stick.
Wu Qi chuckled and said, "Even Elder Teng Bochuan, who joined the sect the latest, has made tremendous contributions. I think that in addition to his personal abilities, it is also inseparable from the support of the sect and the coordination and assistance from other departments."
"The sect has always been fair in rewarding and punishing those who have made contributions. No matter what the old man has rewarded you with before, I will give you another reward."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the Elder, "Elder Feng Changlin."
Feng Changlin stood up.
As the Elder was the first to decide to join Wu Qi's camp, the rewards should rightfully begin with him.
While in the Far North, Wu Qi took many Soul Bone from the Ice and Snow Two Emperors, which are now being given as rewards to the Elder.
In addition, Wu Qi also bestowed a Immortal Herb upon each Elder.
The Righteous Unity Sect was subordinate to him and that each Elder's strength was increased was, in effect, a boost to his own power.
Furthermore, Niu Gao's Imperial Hall not only built the entire sect's headquarters but also made great contributions to the sect, and therefore deserves more rewards.
Wu Qi generously gave him an extra piece of Soul Bone as encouragement.
