Under the moonlight, a drizzle fell hazily, and the atmosphere was cold and refreshing.
But in the Xingyue God Sect, people's hearts are boiling.
After hearing the emergency bell, all the disciples, protectors, and elders hurried to the meeting hall of the Star and Moon Temple.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was astonishing. All the disciples were divided into two groups and stood there, with a vague tendency to confront each other.
The Xingyue God Sect was turbulent and divided into two camps.
One of the factions, headed by the great elder Gu Qinghe, is a conservative group that strictly follows the will of the ancestors and is always trying to find a successor to inherit the mantle of the ancestors.
The other faction, headed by Taishang Elder Yun Shanyu and acting leader Yun Mengze, is the reform faction. They believe that there is no need to be afraid of changes in the sky, no law for ancestors, and no compassion for people. Today's world is changing, and the Xingyue Divine Sect should establish a new one.
Rules, no need to abide by ancestral religious teachings in everything.
The two factions are of equal numbers, and neither can do anything to the other.
But in general, the conservatives, led by Grand Elder Gu Qinghe, have the upper hand.
This is because although our ancestor, Empress Qingyue, has died, she still has spiritual consciousness that appears from time to time to guide the path of the Xingyue God Sect.
The ancestors can still manifest their spiritual powers, so naturally there is no need for change, otherwise it would be disobedience.
What's more, in today's troubled times, conservatism does not mean rigidity. Sometimes it means being calm and adapting to changes by remaining unchanged, while change appears to be impatient. Once something goes wrong, thousands of people will take advantage of it, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
The two factions quarreled with each other, but fortunately the reform faction did not dare to go too far. Even if they were the leader, they only called themselves the acting leader and did not dare to say that they could directly inherit the mantle of their ancestors.
Now, a vision of the bright moon appears in the sky, and the ancestor even appears, saying that a person who will inherit her mantle has appeared, and that person should be allowed to take charge of the Xingyue Divine Sect.
The expression on the acting leader Yun Mengze's face was naturally very ugly.
She was sitting at the main seat of the meeting hall, next to the Supreme Elder Yun Shanyu. The two of them looked at each other solemnly.
"The acting leader, supreme elder, and ancestor issued an oracle. The woman who was said to inherit her mantle has finally appeared. We should immediately send people to find her and welcome her back to her throne!"
Before the acting leader Yun Mengze could speak, the Great Elder Gu Qinghe stood up on crutches and said excitedly.
The disciples in the conservative camp all shouted and applauded.
Yun Mengze and the reform faction headed by Yun Shanyu remained silent.
After a long while, Yun Mengze gently tapped the handle of the seat and said: "Great Elder, this matter still needs to be discussed."
The Great Elder Gu Qinghe said resolutely: "The ancestors have already shown their spirit, what else do we need to discuss? Go immediately to welcome the woman back to her throne. She will definitely inherit the mantle of her ancestors, glorify our religion, lead us to find the Iron Throne, and dominate the world!"
"Acting Leader, could it be that you want to occupy this position, refuse to give up, and violate the decree of your ancestors?"
The disciples on the conservative side began to criticize one after another, saying that Yun Mengze wanted to occupy the throne of the leader and was unwilling to hand over power.
Yun Mengze's face darkened, and he said: "I have no intention of being greedy for power. I am only interested in the foundation of the divine religion! In today's troubled times, the situation is complex, and our ancestors may not be able to judge clearly. The foundation of the Taoism of our Xingyue Divine Sect for countless epochs
, we must not give it to outsiders easily!"
The Supreme Elder Yun Shanyu on the side also said in a deep voice: "Yes, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. The woman the ancestors mentioned in the lost time and space was not a superior person in the Supreme World. She was a woman from the lower world with limited cultivation.
What qualifications do you have to be in charge of our Star-Moon God Sect?"
The disciples from the reformist camp immediately cheered and applauded, fully agreeing with him.
The Great Elder Gu Qinghe's face darkened and he said: "So, you are unwilling to welcome that woman back to her throne? Must you be disobeying the decree of your ancestors?"
Yun Mengze said: "Great Elder, don't be angry. This matter needs to be discussed again."
The Great Elder Gu Qinghe slapped his cane and said: "There is no need to discuss it. If you don't want to send someone to pick him up, I will send someone to pick him up!"
"Gu Lie, take your ancestor's talisman and go to the lost time and space to welcome the future leader back to his throne!"
Gu Qinghe's eyes fell on a slightly younger elder.
The elder's name is Gu Lie, and he is a genuine heavenly king.
When Gu Lie heard Gu Qinghe's words, he hesitated slightly.
Going directly to pick someone up without orders from acting leader Yun Mengze is tantamount to open rebellion.
Although conservatives and reformists have a lot of grievances between them, they rarely break out directly and publicly.
Now the Great Elder Gu Qinghe insists on picking someone up in front of Yun Mengze and Yun Shanyu. This is going to break his face.
"Go quickly, don't wait too long! This is the decree of our ancestors. We are just following the instructions of our ancestors. We are not trying to split the religion."
Great Elder Gu Qinghe gathered the spiritual energy in his palm and turned it into a talisman, which he handed to Gu Lie.
This talisman contains many secrets and causes of the Xingyue Divine Religion, which can allow future leaders to know the origins of the Divine Religion in advance.
"yes!"
Gu Lie didn't dare to shirk anymore, and quickly took the Fu Zhao, turned around and went out, tearing the void apart and rushing away from the lost time and space.
When Yun Mengze and Yun Shanyu saw this, their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.
Gu Qinghe's move was already about to break his face.
"Haha, very good, Gu Qinghe, if you insist on welcoming an outsider back to your throne, you will ruin the foundation of our Xingyue Divine Sect in the future. I don't think you have the face to meet our ancestors!"
The Supreme Elder Yun Mengze said in a stern tone.
