Zheng Yuelin took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. He glanced at Elder Du and the others, and then said, "Elder Du, what do you mean now?"
Elder Du looked at Zheng Yuelin. He found that Zheng Yuelin seemed to have recovered a little now. He was not as confused as he was a few days ago. But he just realized it now. Isn't it a little too late?
Elder Du said in a deep voice: "After discussion among all our elders, we have decided to remove you from the position of sect leader. Elder Tan will temporarily take over the position of sect leader. We will initiate talks with Tanhai Sect and strive to be incorporated into Tanhai Sect as soon as possible.
.”
As soon as Zheng Yuelin heard what Elder Du said, he felt his whole body relax, as if his strength had disappeared all at once, but it seemed that the pressure on him had also disappeared all at once. He felt as if he had never been more relaxed. Then he said in a deep voice:
"Okay, I agree. Everyone, I also hope that Lingfeng Sword Sect will get better and better. What I say is true."
After saying that, Zheng Yuelin turned around and left directly. Now that he was no longer the sect leader, he naturally could not enter the sect leader's study, so he left directly. A deposed sect leader like him had never appeared before, so
No one knew how to treat him, but they still had to give him the appropriate courtesy, so no one stopped him.
At this time, a man walked out from the group of elders. He looked to be in his forties, with a round face and a somewhat fat figure. The whole person gave people a very smooth feeling.
In fact, he is really such a person. This is Elder Tan. He is the most popular among all the elders in Lingfeng Sword Sect.
The reason why he was chosen to act as the leader of Lingfeng Sword Sect this time is because he is a smooth person, he can handle things very satisfactorily, and even if he is angry, he will not do anything too intense.
The people of Lingfeng Sword Sect knew that they had been at loggerheads with Tanhai Sect because of Zheng Yuelin’s relationship. In this case, if they sent a tough person to talk about rebellion with Tanhai Sect, what would happen?
Failure to do so would have the opposite effect, so they chose Elder Tan, a relatively tactful person, to talk about rebellion with Tan Haizong. This may have unexpected effects.
Elder Tan walked to the door of the study room, turned around and glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You all think highly of me, so I won't be polite. Now our Lingfeng Sword Sect has reached a very dangerous point. So it's okay.
I can't shirk it, and I won't just put on those appearances. Everyone, I just want to say two things here. First, Zheng Yuelin, the former sect leader, although he is no longer the sect leader, he is still the elder of our Lingfeng Sword Sect.
, please understand that you must not be rude to him. Over the years, Elder Zheng has worked hard for the sect master, and he has worked hard without any merit, so please do not blame him."
When everyone heard what he said, they all nodded. They were actually very happy with Elder Tan's arrangement. If Elder Tan came up and had to deal with Zheng Yuelin, it would be really unreasonable. After all, Zheng Yuelin has nothing but this matter.
Other than that, there are no big mistakes.
Elder Tan continued: "The second thing is that tomorrow I will go to the Tanhai Sect to discuss with the Tanhai Sect the merger of our Lingfeng Sword Sect into the Tanhai Sect. Elders in the sect,
We need to inventory the various materials in our sect and make a list to facilitate our negotiations with the Tanhai Sect."
Everyone nodded, this point is very important, and they also know that what Elder Tan said about making a list for negotiation is actually just a show of words. It is to make everyone's faces less ugly. There is only one purpose for making a list.
, that is, so that the Tanhai Sect can receive it smoothly.
However, these two things must be done now. Zheng Yuelin must handle them well. The rebellion talks with Tanhai Sect are also very important. It seems that Elder Tan is somewhat organized in his work.
Elder Tan looked at everyone and said: "Okay, I will go and prepare for the negotiation with Tanhai Sect now. Let's stabilize the disciples first, and then count the various supplies. Elder Du, Elder Jin, you two stay here
Now, everyone else should leave and go do their own business." Everyone responded in unison, then turned around and left.
Elder Tan was elected by them together, so they will naturally listen to Elder Tan's words, and Elder Tan's words also give them hope, so they will naturally listen.
After everyone left, Elder Tan invited Elder Du and Elder Jin to the study. After the three of them sat down, Elder Tan sighed and said: "Senior Brother Zheng is the most amazing and talented among our generation.
But I didn’t expect that he would end up getting into trouble in the end. That’s all, let’s not talk about it anymore. Is there anything you want to say about this negotiation with Haizong?”
The reason why he said everyone was because he knew that Elder Du and Elder Jin represented the entire Tanhai Sect and many elders, not just the two of them.
Elder Du said solemnly: "We don't have too many requirements. Sect Master, you should know that the first is that after we join the Tanhai Sect, we will not be bullied. The second is that after we join the Tanhai Sect, we will not be bullied.
We have to settle the score, especially with Elder Zheng."
Elder Jin also nodded, and Elder Tan's real name is Tan Wen, and now he should be called Sect Master Tan. Tan Wen nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will make this clear to them, please don't worry.
"
Elder Du nodded and said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, let's go to the Sword Dance Sect tomorrow to see Li Wanshan. The last time Li Wanshan came in person, he wanted to persuade Elder Zheng to let our Lingfeng Sword Sect join Tanhai.
Zong, but Elder Zheng did not agree at the time. This matter has already offended Li Wanshan. If we bypass Li Wanshan this time and go directly to Tan Haizong, it would be unjustifiable."
Tan Wen nodded and said: "I understand this. The place I want to go to tomorrow is the Sword Dance Sect. Li Wanshan's situation is different from before, because he successfully made several other sword cultivation sects join Tan.
Haizong, so now I heard that he has a very high status in the Haizong, if we really offend him, it will be of no benefit to us."
Elder Du both nodded. They also knew this situation, so they agreed with Tan Wen's words. Tan Wen said solemnly: "Well, you two should go back too. I will go to the Sword Dance Sect tomorrow."
The two nodded and turned around to leave.
At this time, changes were also taking place in Lingfeng Sword Sect. Now many disciples of Lingfeng Sword Sect knew that Zheng Yuelin had been deposed and now Tan Wen was the leader of the sect, but they did not look disappointed at all.
Everyone was a little happy. Of course, the main reason for being happy was that Tan Wen said that he wanted to negotiate with the Tanhai Sect and let Lingfeng Jianzong join the Tanhai Sect.
The day passed quickly. Early the next morning, Tan Wen took a guard and went directly to the Jianwu branch hall in the teleportation array. When Tan Wen and the guard appeared in the Jianwu branch hall,
Tan Wen was stunned when he saw Li Wanshan waiting for him outside the teleportation array.
Although Tan Wen had informed Li Wanshan yesterday that he would come today, he did not expect that Li Wanshan would come to greet him in person. You must know that Zheng Yuelin had offended Li Wanshan quite a lot before. When Li Wanshan left Lingfeng Sword Sect, his expression was...
Very ugly.
But now Lingfeng Sword Sect is at an absolute disadvantage in front of Li Wanshan. If Li Wanshan wants to embarrass them, it will be too easy. Even Tan Wen is already prepared to be embarrassed, because in their view, Li Wanshan must
I will use this opportunity to make things difficult for them to express that tone.
But now it seems that this is not the case. Li Wanshan actually came to greet him in person, which really surprised him.
Li Wanshan cupped his fist at Tan Wen and said, "Sect Master Tan, welcome to the Sword Dance Branch of Tanhai Sect."
Tan Wen came to his senses immediately, and he hurriedly raised his fist towards Li Wanshan and said, "Hall Master Li, I'm really sorry for taking the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me."
Li Wanshan smiled slightly and said: "You're welcome. I'm very happy that you can come. Come on, please come inside."
Tan Wen cupped his fists at Li Wanshan and said, "Thank you, Hall Master Li, please." After saying that, the two of them walked into the Jian Wu branch hall. The current layout of the Jian Wu branch hall has not changed much from the original one. It has changed.
, there were only people. Now the people in the Jianwu Branch Hall did not look very anxious. The whole branch seemed very quiet, but this quietness did not mean that there were few people. In fact, Tan Wen and the others met along the way.
There were quite a few monks who arrived, but none of them seemed too anxious, nor did they make any noise. Everyone was walking slowly, and even when they said hello or spoke, their voices were very low, so they seemed very nervous.
of quietness.
Such an environment made Tan Wen a little uncomfortable. Tan Wen even saw some disciples gathering together to chat or even argue. When he heard what those disciples were saying, they were all talking about training.
The matter was discussed in this way, which surprised him very much.
You must know that in their sect, you will never see this kind of situation, because in their sect, all the disciples are in a competitive relationship, and they wish that everyone did not understand their situation, so this will never happen.
This situation where everyone discusses cultivation issues together, even if they are disciples of the same master, will not be like this.
However, he only glanced at it, and then followed Li Wanshan to Li Wanshan's study. After the two of them sat down separately, a disciple brought tea. Li Wanshan looked at Tan Wen and said with a smile: "Sect Master Tan, we are all
We are old acquaintances, so I won’t mince words anymore. I know exactly why you came this time, so I won’t waste any more nonsense. Tell me, what are your conditions?”
Tan Wen looked at Li Wanshan and said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to thank Hall Master Li. You are not angry with us because of what happened to Elder Zheng before. This time we come here with sincerity and just want to talk to you.
Talking about the merger of Lingfeng Sword Sect into Tanhai Sect, our requirements are actually very simple. One is that after we merge into Tanhai Sect, Tanhai Sect must treat everyone equally and must not bully us. The second is,
We can’t be held responsible, including Elder Zheng. I wonder if these two demands are excessive?” (To be continued.)
