"Below the sect leader, is he the great elder?"
Lu Chen asked back.
"right!"
The head of the Dan Sect nodded directly without thinking too much.
"wrong!"
Lu Chen glanced at the Alchemy Sect Master and said angrily, "Below the Sect Master and above the Great Elder, there is a higher-level position in the middle called the Deputy Sect Leader!"
"oh……"
The Dan Sect Master was stunned for a while, and then he woke up. There was indeed such a position as Deputy Sect Master.
The position of deputy sect leader has never been filled by anyone. It has been vacant for tens of thousands of years. It has been vacant for so long that even he has forgotten that there is such a position.
Because, the alchemy cultivator who is qualified to serve as the deputy sect master must have the highest alchemy status, that is, the ninth-level supreme alchemy immortal!
That's right, alchemists who are qualified to serve as deputy sect leader are also qualified to compete for the position of sect leader!
Only if there are two or more ninth-level supreme alchemy immortals in the Alchemy Sect during the same period, will a deputy sect leader appear.
It's a pity that the Alchemy Sect has been around for tens of thousands of years, and no more than two ninth-level supreme Alchemy Immortals have been born at the same time, until Lu Chen appeared...
There is already someone as the sect leader of Dan Sect, so it is impossible for Lu Chen to ascend to the position of sect leader. In addition, there is no position in Dan sect yet, so it is absolutely no problem to ascend to the position of deputy sect leader, and he is fully qualified.
"After working on it for a long time, it turns out you want to be the deputy sect leader!"
The head of the Dan Sect suddenly realized what Lu Chen wanted.
"My alchemy status is at the top, so naturally I want to be the sect leader. Regardless of whether I am the real sect leader or the deputy sect leader, I belong to the ranks of the sect leader anyway. Otherwise, the ninth-level supreme alchemy immortal will be an elder or leader.
It’s just a joke for everyone in the world. If it spreads to other alchemy sects in the immortal realm, it will be a shame for you."
Lu Chen was eloquent and spoke eloquently. He always raised the status of Alchemy to the point that the Alchemy Sect leader could not refute.
If someone else had been the leader of the Alchemy Sect, Lu Chen's unscrupulous operations would have been long gone.
But it happened that the current head of the Alchemy Sect was a good old man, with a good personality, easy to talk to, and very stubborn about the status of Alchemy. He especially looked up to Lu Chen, who was at the same level as him. As a result, Lu Chen took advantage of the opportunity.
"Well, the position of deputy head of the Dan Sect has been vacant for a long time, and it's time for someone to take over."
In the end, the Alchemy Sect Master nodded heavily, and immediately confirmed Lu Chen's status in the Alchemy Sect, "You are the ninth-level Supreme Alchemy Immortal, and you serve as the Deputy Sect Master of the Alchemy Sect. This matter has been settled. You will come to the Sect Master Tower later.
The sect leader personally announced the appointment!"
After that, the head of the Dan Sect asked Lu Chen to wait at the Yingbin Tower, and then led Qiu Shanqun away and entered the hinterland of the Dan Sect.
"Congratulations, deputy sect leader!"
Cheng Wei came immediately and led all the guards of the Yingbin Tower to line up and congratulate Lu Chen.
"Ouch, ouch, you guys are excused, you don't have to be polite."
Lu Chen was in a good mood, he just laughed, made a sign of getting up quickly, and said, "The sect master hasn't announced his appointment yet, I am still an idle member of the Dan Sect, so please don't call me random names."
"When the sect leader speaks, it is confirmed that you are the deputy sect leader. There is only one more step left to make. In fact, the big deal has been decided."
Cheng Wei laughed and didn't take Lu Chen's polite words seriously at all, and said, "The deputy sect leader is the one who is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Not only can he order all the ministers, but even the great elders must listen to you."
Order. As long as you are in Danzong, all Qiu Shan groups will have to step aside, and it will not be his turn to speak."
"The sect leader is really kind to Qiu Shanqun. He even tries to protect Qiu Shanqun's life regardless of the reason. It really opened my eyes."
Lu Chen said.
"Your time in Danzong is too short, and you don't know the sect master very well. As time goes by, you will find that the sect master's character is like this, and you will get used to it by then."
Cheng Wei said.
"This kind of character is too weak, how can you manage Danzong well?"
Lu Chen said.
"The sect master's energy and time are not in Danzong, but in the last section of the road, and he rarely takes care of Danzong's affairs."
Cheng Wei added, "For a long time, the Presbyterian Hall has not liked to take care of things. The sect leader has always left the Dan Sect to Qiu Shanqun to manage it. The other halls have performed their own duties, and there have been no major problems."
"Until I come..."
Lu Chen smiled.
"Actually, the problem is not with you, but with Qiu Shanqun. He is too ambitious and doesn't want to stay in the alchemy hall. If there is no problem, there will be trouble."
Cheng Wei said.
While he was talking, a loud bell suddenly rang, spreading to every corner of Danzong.
The tower clock of the suzerain tower!
Once the bell rings, there will be an important event, and everyone in Danzong must gather at the sect master tower.
Of course, there are exceptions. The Yingbin Tower at the forefront of Danzong serves as the frontline for external affairs and security. People here do not need to go there.
"When the sect leader came back, he immediately rang the tower bell and called everyone over. That was because he had announced something important to the entire Dan Sect."
Cheng Wei looked towards the direction where the bell was coming from and said to Lu Chen, "Soon, someone will come to invite you over."
Cheng Wei's guess was correct, someone did come to look for Lu Chen, but the time was not as fast as guessed, but a full hour passed.
Moreover, the visitor's status in the Dan Sect was not low, and he was actually an elder from the Presbytery Hall. He came to invite him, so Lu Chen followed the elder.
Outside the sect master's tower, there are densely packed people, most of whom are alchemy cultivators, all wearing supreme alchemy robes. The higher the rank, the closer they are to the front.
"Lu Chen is here!"
From behind the crowd, the elder suddenly shouted.
The crowd looked back one after another and gave way, allowing Lu Chen to pass through the crowd smoothly and finally reach the foot of the sect master's tower.
The door of the sect master's tower has been opened, and the sect master stands in front of the tower door. On the left are a group of elders, on the right are the heads of each hall, and behind him is a team of intermediate guardians on guard.
"metropolitan!"
Lu Chen walked up to the sect leader and performed a slight alchemy etiquette.
"Lu Chen, this sect master already knows the whole story of the internal strife in the Dan Sect. Cao Tiancheng, the leader of the Dharma Protector Hall, committed a heinous crime and deserves to die!"
The head of the Alchemy Sect glanced at Lu Chen, helped Lu Chen clear up the issue of killing Cao Tiancheng, and then said, "The master of the Alchemy Hall, Qiu Shanqun, is the driving force behind this matter. He must be punished according to the sect's rules to set an example to others!"
Although he has always been protective of Qiu Shanqun, what Qiu Shanqun did was too bad. He bribed Cao Tiancheng, the leader of the Dharma Protector Hall, and directly came to bully the Law Enforcement Hall. He even used the forbidden drug of Danzong: Seven-Day Fengxing San!
At the end of the internal strife, many mid-level nurses died, which had a huge adverse impact on Danzong. If he did not punish Qiu Shanqun, he would not be able to calm down the anger of countless people.
"Qiu Shan Group, come out!"
The head of the Dan Sect had no expression on his face and shouted coldly.
"I am guilty and let the sect master punish me!"
Qiu Shanqun took a step forward from the group of hall masters on the right, knelt on one foot with his right foot, and knelt in front of the head of the Dan Sect.
