The splendid Tiangang Hall fell into deathly silence, as if the air had frozen from this moment on.
Feng Jueyu looked at this highly respected mentor in disbelief, and the words Xu Lu said to him before the arrival of the elders kept flashing in his mind.
Before half a stick of incense, Xu Lu spoke conclusively about the importance of the road in front of him. Logically speaking, Tiangang Sect is fortunate enough to have a road that drives all the major planes crazy and should be well protected.
The right way is to get up, set strict exploration rules, and choose a suitable opportunity to open it to your disciples.
Why does the teacher want to make this path public?
What good does this do to Tiangangmen?
As we all know, most practitioners attach great importance to rare treasures, and the path is the rarest treasure among the rarest treasures.
Isn’t it good to leave such treasures to your own people for cultivation?
Why invite people from the other four factions to explore together?
Besides, even if he wanted to do this, the elders and ancestors would not agree, right?
Feng Jueyu raised his head and glanced at all the elders, ancestors and most of the Tiangang Sect's powerful figures in the hall.
His position happened to be next to the throne of the sect leader. He had retreated halfway due to the arrival of the elders, but even this position attracted the attention of many people.
After all, no one can be valued enough by the sect leader to stand beside him.
But at this time, the curiosity in everyone's hearts was diluted by this sudden news.
Their faces showed ecstasy and excitement when they learned that Tiangang Sect was about to master a secret path. However, these two emotions were frozen because of Xu Lu's warning.
It looks like something big is about to happen.
Feng Jueyu stood with his hands down, lowering his head subconsciously, guessing what Xu Lu was thinking, and waiting for a good show.
"No, I will never agree to it."
As expected, after a brief period of silence, someone actually stood up to oppose Xu Lu's decision.
The speaker was a short old man. His hair and beard were as white as frost, and his two long eyebrows drooped on both sides of his face. He had an indescribable air of immortality and aloofness.
Originally, the old man's eyes were full of joy and kindness, but now, due to Xu Lu's words, there were a few bloodshot eyes. I don't know, as if a family member had died, and he looked slightly ferocious.
That red old face was so full of indignation that it looked like he was drunk, and he was so angry that he couldn't control his inner emotions.
The old man's name is Huashanhu, and he is one of the nine elders of Tiangang Sect. He has a very important voice among the elders.
Putting aside the mysterious elder who has been in seclusion for many years and only cares about spiritual practice, Huashanhu is almost the leading figure in Tiangangmen. Even when Xu Lu sees him, he must salute and say "Well, second elder"
”.
For such a powerful figure to stand up and oppose Xu Lu's opinion, it was either because the relationship between the two of them was not good, or Xu Lu's decision completely hurt the lungs of the second elder Huashanhu.
Feng Jueyu knew that he was not qualified to intervene in the matter here, so he could simply be a spectator and watch the exchange of words between the mainstays of the sects in the God Realm.
After Huashanhu shouted "No, I don't agree", Feng Jueyu went to look at the teacher's expression. Unexpectedly, he thought that Xu Lu would at least frown, but Xu Lu showed a smile.
He had a light and gentle smile, as if Huashanhu's eyes were blank as he refuted his decision as the leader of the sect.
Xu Lu was too calm. He raised his hand and said, "If the second elder has any opinions, you can speak freely."
Huashan Lake was not so literate and said straightforwardly: "What is there to say? The road is a rare treasure among rare treasures. In the sky, the road can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Now that our sect is lucky enough to get this treasure, it should be
Treat it as a treasure of the town sect and protect it carefully. When we figure out where the path comes from and what opportunities there are, we can use this path to cultivate unique top strong men for our Tiangang Sect. Why not do it?
It’s hard to hold such a heavy treasure firmly in your hands, but you still have to share it with the four sects. How can you, the master of the sect, turn your elbows outward? Are you the sect master of the Tiangang Sect, or are you the loyal dog of the four major sects?”
At the end of Huashan Lake's words, he actually cursed out loud. Feng Jueyu was dumbfounded and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
Although it is said that among the major sects in the God Realm, the elders are the most respected, followed by the sect leader, and some people say that the position of sect leader is nothing more than a functional position to perform actual functions. In Feng Jueyu's heart, this is almost the same as a CEO hired by a group.
, does not have as much power as shareholders.
But the sect master is the sect master after all. No matter how bad things are, he can't just let people point his nose at him and scold him in public, right?
Feng Jueyu wanted to touch his nose to relieve the embarrassment, but at the same time he was thinking whether he should stand up at this time and help the teacher teach Huashan Lake a lesson. After all, this is the sect leader. No matter how high your status as an elder is, you can't
If you want to curse people, just curse them, right?
But Feng Jueyu quickly calmed down, because he saw Xu Lu still smiling and not getting angry, so he, a disciple of the Fourth Realm, shouldn't worry about it.
However, seeing that Xu Lu did not refute Huashan Hu in person, many people hardened their backs.
An old man quickly stood up and stood firmly in the queue at Huashan Lake and shouted: "What Elder Hua said is absolutely true. Revealing our sect's treasures to outsiders is no different from betraying the sect. Xu Lu, you are not worthy of my Tiangang Sect."
As the head of the sect, I propose that you remove the head of the Xu Lu sect and appoint another capable person."
"Xu Lu, you are so obsessed with lard that you finally found a way to deliver it. Is this what a sect owner should do?"
"Yes, this is very inappropriate."
Many people nodded.
Xu Lu kept smiling, did not speak, and did not get angry.
Feng Jueyu was also looking at those people who openly opposed Xu Lu at this time. He almost didn't know all the people here, but that didn't stop him from judging their identities from the clothes they were wearing.
After a while, there were many people standing up to reprimand Xu Lu, including elders, ancestors, and great lords. Among them, there were four people who proposed to remove Xu Lu from the post of head of the clan now and appoint a more capable person.
.
The hall was in chaos, with accusations and curses being heard endlessly, but no one supported Xu Lu.
Anyway, others don't know, Feng Jueyu is very worried now, worried that Xu Lu will be dismissed because of this matter.
However, just when everyone was reprimanding Xu Lu, an old man in rich clothes stood up and said in a rich voice: "Everyone, please be patient and listen to my words."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over.
He was a very majestic old man, with mixed black and white hair, purple-gold eyes, and stern eyebrows, and he had a rather heroic air.
This old man was slightly taller and had a burly build. As he walked towards the station, he thought some prince had come forward to cover up the chaotic atmosphere in the palace.
When everyone saw the old man, they immediately fell silent. Except for the second elder Huashanhu who dared to look at him, no one else dared to speak out.
Feng Jueyu glanced at the old man twice in particular and remembered the old man's appearance deeply. At this moment, a secretly transmitted voice rang in his ears.
It’s Xu Lu!
"The speaker is Elder Kang Feng Wukang, the fifth elder of our sect. Please remember this and don't forget it."
Feng Jueyu didn't know what Xu Lu meant by mentioning this at this time, but he immediately remembered Elder Kang Feng and Wukang.
But I heard Kang Fengwu say: "Everyone, the road is a precious treasure, especially in the first layer of heaven. This is a well-known common sense. It is an indisputable fact that these precious treasures cannot flow into the outside world. I agree with everyone's opinion."
The elders present here did not move when they heard the sound and listened quietly.
Kang Fengwu changed the subject and said: "Since it is a well-known truth, I believe that the sect master will not be unclear about it, but since he has made this arrangement, I think it is best to listen to the sect master's plan before speaking, otherwise he will not even be given a chance to explain.
I will convict the sect leader, fearing that it will be difficult to convince the public."
As soon as these words came out, three sages and great-level figures immediately stood up and echoed.
"You're right, Elder Kang is still thoughtful."
"Yes, the sect master must have other plans. I can't wait to hear them."
The last one is more interesting, and he starts to show off Xu Lu's achievements: "Master Xu has been in charge of Tiangang Sect for more than two million years. He once blocked the sneak attack of the Seven-fingered Demon King with his human power, and also experienced the road personally.
He has never made any mistakes in the two million years he has been on the throne. I don’t believe he will betray the Tiangang Sect.”
With these people expressing their stance, more people began to side with Xu Lu, and Feng Jueyu had a vague feeling when he saw it.
Could it be that Tiangang Sect is divided into two factions? Could Xu Lu use this opportunity to determine who is in the same camp as him?
This thought just crossed his mind, but he denied it again. The leader of a dignified sect has been in charge of Tiangang Sect for more than two million years. If he can't even tell who is one of his own, then what's the point of playing ball?
Xu Lu's purpose is definitely not this.
Now let’s see what Xu Lu said?
No matter what, Kang Fengwu's words are still reasonable. Huashanhu and others scolded Xu Lu indiscriminately, without even asking why they did this. Isn't it a bit arbitrary?
Huashanhu snorted and said, "Okay, then let me hear why he did this?"
The spearhead returned to Xu Lu.
However, once again beyond all expectations, Xu Lu still smiled and gave an answer that aroused public outrage.
"There's no reason? I just want to make the path public."
"Xulu!"
As soon as Xu Lu finished speaking, Huashan Lake exploded with anger. He pointed at Xu Lu with a trembling body and said, "What are you talking about? The leader of our sect is so careless. Where did you put the Tiangang Sect Rules?"
, and how to face the elder sect leaders of the past generations?"
"That's right, Xu Lu, you are too crazy. The Tiangang Sect does not belong to you alone. Are you worthy of being the new sect leader?"
"Xu, what the hell are you doing? This is no joke."
The elders around Huashan Lake were furious, while Kang Fengwu was also speechless, seeming to be unable to help.
Kang Fengwu squinted his eyes and glanced at Xu Lu. He said nothing and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Lu's expression did not change. When everyone had enough quarreling, he immediately waved his hands and said: "Since everyone has differences on this matter, why not go to see the great elder together and let him decide."
According to the rules of Tiangang Sect, the Grand Elder is the sole authority. If the disciples of the sect have trivial matters that cannot be decided, they can ask the Grand Elder to make the decision.
As he said this, Xu Lu had already stood up.
But Huashan Hu blushed and said: "You think the Great Elder will help you, huh, I advise you not to humiliate yourself."
