"Why should I explain to them?" Long Shihao asked.
"But they are on the side of Fourth Master Uncle!"
"There will be no Presbyterian Council in the Xuanwu Sect from now on." Long Shihao looked at Zhao Qiang seriously and said word by word.
"..." Zhao Qiang was completely shocked this time. It seemed that the master wanted to make a big move and get rid of it once and for all.
Things turned out as Zhao Qiang expected. Not even two days after the silence, people from the Presbyterian Church sent a summons message to Long Shihao, the acting head of the "Xuanwu Sect", and Zhao Qiang and Lang Yixin, the "perpetrators". They were to be summoned at the Law Enforcement Hall.
Inside, Zhao Qiang and Lang Yixin were interrogated, and Long Shihao, the acting sect leader, was examined.
Today's "Xuanwu Sect" has been considered in decline. The first sect leader, King Xuanwu, died of illness, the sect leader's successor Jiang Taofei was killed by Zhao Qiang, Queen Xuanwu, and the second master uncle in the "Xuanwu Sect" were killed by Long Shi
Killed by King Xuanwu, Uncle Third Master... let’s not mention it. Nowadays, the "Xuanwu Sect" really does not have the strength to fight against the "Prince Sect", and Long Shihao is the brother of King Xuanwu. He has the right and the obligation to do this.
Sect Master, help "Xuanwu Sect" overcome the difficulties.
But Long Shihao is an outsider after all. Although he has a high prestige among the younger generation of disciples, among the older generation and the Presbyterian Church, they have long wanted to remove Long Shihao. However, they have been
Unfortunately, there was no chance. What Zhao Qiang did that night just gave the Presbyterian Church a chance.
As Zhao Qiang said, these people in the "Xuanwu Sect" are all short-sighted people. They can only see the immediate interests, but have forgotten whether they could withstand the "Prince Sect" without Long Shihao.
Maybe... they have long been prepared to attach themselves to the "Prince Sect".
If the Council of Elders passes the review of Long Shihao, the acting sect leader, the Council of Elders will remove Long Shihao from his position as acting sect leader, and then quickly elect a new real sect leader. Choose
The new sect leader is a fair, just and open matter. Of course... the only ones with the right to choose are a few elders of the Presbyterian Church, and everyone else in the "Xuanwu Sect" has also been "represented" by them.
The Elders Council is an independent administrative body of the "Xuanwu Sect", which has the power to supervise and assist the disciples and sect masters. The emergence of the elders is to select the most outstanding people from among the contemporary disciples, but unfortunately,
This system has not been used yet, because King Xuanwu was the first sect leader of the "Xuanwu Sect", and the seven elders now are all talents from the older generation who were integrated from various places by King Xuanwu back then.
The Presbyterian Church has its own independent courtyard, which is the largest courtyard besides the main house where the sect leader lives. They are the largest supervisory organization, and they also have a law enforcement team that only obeys the orders of the Grand Elder. This power is very powerful.
They are powerful and not subject to the control of the sect leader. Therefore, the elders of the Presbyterian Church are actually in high positions and have their own power. Even if they compete with the sect leader, they will be confident.
Long Shihao walked in the front with a stern expression, and Lang Yixin followed behind with an expressionless face. Zhao Qiang looked at the back and felt that the two in front were too cool. So, he also tensed up in the same way.
Faces. The three people stepped into the gate of the Presbyterian Church with such cold looks. This frightened the two members of the Law Enforcement Hall who greeted them in front. They also saw the great power of these three people that day, and now
I was so scared that I couldn't even speak.
After entering the compound and the main room, the seven elders of the Presbyterian Church were sitting in a row on the mahogany chairs in the lobby. They had white hair and long robes, and serious faces. They were not angry or authoritative. The scene was very strange. If it were now
If there are outsiders present, they will definitely think that this is some kind of costume blockbuster, but everyone in the "Xuanwu Sect" knows that this is the time when the Presbyterian Council implements major decisions, because ordinary trivial matters will never be let go.
The seven elders appeared together.
Without waiting for anyone to greet him, Long Shihao walked to a seat under the elders and sat down. The status of the sect leader is very high, even if he is the acting sect leader, he naturally has the right to sit down. What's more,
Long Shihao was very powerful. Even if he didn't have that much power, who would dare to say anything? But as for Zhao Qiang, Lang Yixin, and the fourth uncle who was waiting to watch the show in the distance, they could only stand.
"You evildoer, why don't you kneel down!" Sitting on the second highest chair, an old man with empty sleeves roared at Zhao Qiang. His eyes were about to burst into flames when he looked at Zhao Qiang, as if he was choosing someone to choose.
He was the second elder who cut off one of Zhao Qiang's arms with a dagger.
"Kneel down? Why should I kneel down? I remember that the etiquette of 'Xuanwumen' is to bow when you see the elders. Where is the clause for people to kneel down?" Zhao Qiang retorted with a smile. Then, he looked at several people carelessly.
The old man bowed.
"You are a sinner, so naturally you have to kneel down." The great elder said, patting the table.
"What crime is he guilty of?" Long Shihao glanced at Zhao Qiang and asked lightly.
"What's the crime? Long Shihao, you came to the Xuanwu Sect to be the acting sect leader. We were worried about the civil strife in the Xuanwu Sect, and we thought you were the brother of King Xuanwu, so we nodded and agreed. But now it seems...
...You, the sect leader, are too unfair? How can other disciples be convinced by your partiality? Now we have to solve this evil problem first, and then we will review you, the acting sect leader. According to 'Xuanwu
According to the rules of the sect, the elders will vote on your position as the sect leader. According to the regulations, you have the right to decide with two votes. If the number of votes in favor of your current sect leader is less than the number of votes against, then you will be removed. We
We will immediately choose an official sect leader of the Xuanwu Sect!" the great elder said, slapping the table. The great elder was really furious, and his pale face turned purple.
"I just know that my apprentice came all the way to visit his uncle and was framed. I came in not to be reviewed by you, but to seek justice for my apprentice." Long Shihao ignored it directly.
The great elder said it expressionlessly.
"Framed? Long Shihao, please speak clearly. Your two good apprentices sneaked into my yard with weapons and killed two of my apprentices who were watching the night. Are they here to visit me? There are still others in the world.
How to visit like this? The world is so vast, there are really many wonders, haha..." The fourth uncle standing behind the great elder pointed at Long Shihao and shouted angrily.
"This is also what I find strange. Maybe someone used a bitter trick? Sacrificing two of his insignificant apprentices and then blaming my apprentices? Why did you bring the elders in just after Zhao Qiang visited you? According to
As far as I know, it was already past one o'clock in the morning? Why didn't you rest at that time? The elders all have the habit of going to bed early. Why did they happen to 'rush' that night? There are too many doubts about the matter.
Already." Long Shihao still had the same unhurried emphasis and nonchalant expression, but his eyes were full of joking.
The elders were all so angry that they blew their beards and stared, but Zhao Qiang's heart was filled with joy. His master was usually a heroic and awesome person, but he didn't expect that he would become so shameless.
It’s really not something that ordinary people can resist. Look at the great elder’s face, it’s as wrinkled as a dried orange peel…
"Long Shihao, have you made it clear that you want to favor Zhao Qiang?" The elder laughed angrily, staring at Long Shihao with slightly cloudy eyes.
"I can't talk about favoritism. First of all, I just don't want my apprentices to suffer any injustice. One was seriously injured and the other almost died... The world says that I am the patron saint of the country. If I can't even protect my apprentices, how can I protect my apprentices?"
How to protect the country? Secondly, Zhao Qiang and Yixin are not from the Xuanwu Sect. Even if they really make mistakes, they should be punished by me. Why should you punish them?" Long Shihao even glanced at the great elder and said.
None. He kept staring at the pair of cloth shoes on his feet, as if he was talking to his feet. However, his contemptuous expression angered the elders who took him seriously.
"It seems that things are about to change. We must sort out the priorities. I propose that we first review Long Shihao, the acting leader of the 'Xuanwu Sect', and everyone votes to decide whether he is qualified to continue to lead us.'
Xuanwu Sect has overcome the difficulties, what do you think?" The great elder suddenly stood up and said.
"Second."
"I also second the proposal."
"Agree to review at this time."
"I agree too."
"..."
The Great Elder glanced at everyone with satisfaction, looked at Long Shihao with a sneer, and said: "Okay, the proposal is approved. Now, all the members of the Presbyterian Council of 'Xuanwu Sect' will review the acting sect leader of 'Xuanwu Sect' and agree to continue to serve as acting sect leader."
Master, please raise your hand."
"..." It was silent, no one raised their hands, and even Long Shihao gave up his right to vote.
The Great Elder gave Long Shihao a strange look and continued the deliberation: "If you object to Long Shihao continuing to serve as the acting sect leader, please raise your hands."
"I strongly object!" The second elder took the lead in raising his only left hand.
"I object."
"be opposed to."
"He is not qualified to stay in the Xuanwu Gate."
"..."
The Great Elder felt happy when everyone expressed their opinions, but he still had a serious expression on his face. He shouted loudly: "The results of the review have come out, and it is agreed that Long Shihao will continue to serve as the representative of the 'Xuanwu Sect'
The number of votes for the position of sect leader was...zero! The votes against Long Shihao continuing to serve as the acting sect leader of the 'Xuanwu Sect' were...five votes. Two members of the Presbyterian Council abstained, and Long Shihao himself gave up his veto power on two votes.
Now, I announce that the result of the review... Long Shihao, the acting sect leader of the Xuanwu Sect, has been dismissed, and the position of sect leader will be re-selected by the elders."
