"First, there's the division of the two internal branches. How did you and Nangong discuss it, Yuchi?" Gongsun Haoyue asked.
Yuchi Yue stood up and said, "Sect Master, let's discuss whether to continue using the previous branch structure. However, each branch will have two people in charge from now on."
The two existing halls are divided into the Elders Hall, Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Discipline Hall, Resources Hall, Disciples Affairs Hall, Technique Hall, Forging Hall, as well as the newly added Hall of Governmental Affairs, making a total of eight halls.
The Discipline Hall, Resources Hall, and Disciples Affairs Hall are divided into the Inner Hall and Outer Hall, corresponding to Outer Sect Disciple and Inner Sect Disciple, respectively.
As for Core Disciple and True Inheritor Disciple, the Elders Hall is responsible for their daily affairs and resource distribution.
Because the number of Core Disciple and True Inheritor Disciple is not large, and they are even more important.
As for the dispatched elders in each state, the Elders Hall is responsible for arranging the personnel, but the specific matters are reported to the Hall of Governmental Affairs.
Upon hearing Yuchi Yue's words, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, Jiang Liu all frowned simultaneously.
The three of them were well aware of the corruption among some elders in the two factions.
However, since the two groups were separate and each had their own concerns, they did not deal with it before.
If this situation continues after the merger, then the two groups probably won't even need to merge; they could just start fighting each other.
Because the Discipline Hall can only supervise the elders and disciples within the mountain Sects, it has no binding force on the elders outside the mountain.
This is why some elders planted their own people in various places, which intensified the conflict between the two factions.
"I suggest that the Elders Hall no longer be responsible for local affairs in each state, and that all power be transferred to the Hall of Governmental Affairs. Then, separate intelligence and oversight agencies should be established to supervise the Hall of Governmental Affairs."
"The personnel arrangements of the Hall of Governmental Affairs are reported to the two sect leaders and decided by them. The newly established intelligence and regulatory agencies are also directly responsible to the two sect leaders."
"As for each hall, there will be one head hall master and one deputy head hall master. The rotation will be every three years, with the Elders Hall recommending the candidates and the sect leader making the final decision."
"In addition to the Discipline Hall, a Supervisory Hall should be added to oversee the Sects in the mountains. This hall will have the right to supervise the operation and arrangements between the various halls and the allocation of disciple resources."
Jiang Liu looked at the many elders below and slowly began to speak.
Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, the elders below were immediately alarmed. They knew that Jiang Liu's suggestion meant he wanted to take action against the chaos within the two sects.
Furthermore, it greatly limited the power of the Elders Hall, preventing the elders from interfering in their Elders Hall.
I wonder if the two sect leaders will agree to Jiang Liu's suggestion.
If they agree, then those two cases will really change drastically.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Jiang Liu's proposal.
Then, Flowing Cloud Matriarch said, "In the future, the assessment and resource distribution for Core Disciple and True Inheritor Disciple will be handled by a separate Core Pavilion and True Inheritor Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, the elders present couldn't help but think to themselves, "If that's the case, then the Elders Hall will have become nothing more than a retirement home."
From now on, apart from the elders who are in charge of the various halls, the other elders in the Elders Hall will only have the right to make suggestions on the affairs of the Sects, and will no longer have any real power.
However, this right to make recommendations is not insignificant, as it is a recommendation on the candidates for the heads of each branch, and thus it can be considered a check and balance exercised by the Elders Hall over each branch.
At this moment, Gongsun Haoyue also spoke up, saying, "I think we should establish another Disciples Assessment Hall to separate the assessment of Sects disciples from the Disciples Affairs Hall."
Now, several elders couldn't sit still, because the Disciples Affairs Hall was responsible for all affairs of all disciples except for Core Disciple and True Inheritor Disciple.
There are many things that can be done inside, after all, the number of people in the two sects combined, including Inner Sect Disciple, Outer Sect Disciple, Servant Disciple, is at least several hundred thousand.
Therefore, the largest hall in both sects is the Disciples Affairs Hall.
It not only has the largest number of elders, but also the largest number of assistant disciples.
If the task of assessing disciples is delegated, the power of the Disciples Affairs Hall will be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, it would put the Disciples Affairs Hall and the Disciples Assessment Hall at odds.
Therefore, the elders of the Disciples Affairs Hall of the two sects stood up anxiously, wanting to oppose Gongsun Haoyue's proposal.
Before they could even speak, Gongsun Haoyue coldly said, "Don't think I don't know about the chaos in the Disciples Affairs Hall. Think about Chen He's appearance. What's going on?"
At this moment, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, who was standing to the side, also chimed in, "It wasn't long ago that the matter of that Outer Sect Disciple of ours happened!"
"You all know what you've done."
At this, the two elders in charge of the Disciples Affairs Hall immediately fell silent and sat down with embarrassed expressions.
The problem pointed out by the two sect leaders hit their weak spot: they had been sent in by an enemy without their knowledge.
This gives an idea of just how lax and chaotic their assessment of disciples entering the two sects was.
This should also be because in recent years, the enemies of the two factions have gradually decreased.
It was clear that the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect intended to merge, so they gradually lowered their guard.
Fortunately, the enemies on the surface have all been defeated.
If there are other enemies present, they've probably been betrayed without even realizing it.
Therefore, it is time to let them know that the current external environment of the world is not optimistic, and they may be attacked at any time.
Only by maintaining high morale and internal unity can Sects flourish and continue to thrive.
If Sects is invaded by foreign enemies, leading to Sects decline, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And those major forces that were previously suppressed by the two sects will definitely come over and give them a piece of their minds.
I believe none of the elders present would want to see this scene.
Immediately, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Jiang Liu exchanged glances, and then Jiang Liu began to recount the events that had occurred during their voyage.
Furthermore, it was emphasized that the current strength of Blood Demon Island was explained.
Jiang Liu emphasized that he had escaped while wounded.
Moreover, it was only with the help of the Fire-Winged Monkey's greatly increased strength that it barely managed to escape.
Contrary to what was publicly stated, he was not able to escape unscathed from facing three Peak Grandmaster.
However, Jiang Liu didn't voice his speculations about the Halls of Yama, as it was too terrifying.
Moreover, these elders' words were of no use in helping the situation.
It would be better to put some pressure on them from time to time, so that they would focus their attention on cultivation and supervising the Sects's disciples.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue tacitly refrained from mentioning the matter.
However, Jiang Liu's words still left the elders present speechless.
They hadn't expected that Blood Demon Island would be so powerful.
Furthermore, the Peak Grandmaster is still unknown, and it is very likely that it has exceeded three.
The main point is that their number of Grandmaster is likely greater than that of the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect combined.
These words immediately instilled a strong sense of crisis in the elders present.
Because Blood Demon Island could invade the mainland at any time.
If they invade the mainland, their two sects will definitely be the first to be affected.
Thinking of the chilling techniques of Blood Demon Island, they all began to panic.
The subsequent proposals Sects affairs were quickly approved by all the elders.
Because they must expedite the merger of the two sects so that they can contend with Blood Demon Island.
