Chapter 305 Acting Patriarch, Quarrel
The Taoist Alliance's main hall is located on the top of Yiqi Peak, a famous mountain of the human race.
From afar, one can see green mountains and majestic palaces.
Amid the rosy clouds, twelve luxurious palaces were scattered one after another.
It doesn't look like a place for cultivating immortals or seeking the truth, but rather like an imperial palace in the secular world.
Pressing down the clouds, Dongfang Gu Yue and the head of the Wen family landed in front of the main hall.
Flying swords fell from the surroundings from time to time, they were all elders of the Taoist Alliance who came to attend the conference.
The two men walked towards the hall, and from time to time they met a few acquaintances, and they nodded to each other.
When we arrived at the door of the hall, an old man with red hair and a black robe and a tall crown came towards us.
Dongfang Gu Yue looked surprised when he saw the person coming.
"Xiao Wancheng? Have you settled your family affairs? Are you still willing to come to the Yiqi Dao League meeting?"
"Dongfang Guyue, it's not your turn to comment on my Xiao family's affairs!"
Xiao Wancheng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked into the venue.
"Why is this old guy so stubborn this time? Wasn't his Great Demon King's magic weapon cut off by my family member Feng?"
Dongfang Guyue was puzzled.
"Having destroyed the great demon king's magic weapon in the clan, how can he still keep the position of the clan head?"
"Brother Gu Yue was slow in delivering the news this time."
At this time, the head of the Li family came over from the side, stood next to the two of them, and spoke.
"I heard that the Xiao family's Great Demon King's magic weapon has been repaired."
"Repaired? Who has the ability to repair a great demon king-level inheritance magic weapon?"
Dongfang Guyue asked tentatively.
"Could it be that Brother Li did it?"
"I don't have that ability!"
The head of the Li family shook his head.
"I heard that it was the weapon refiner of the Wang Quan family who repaired the Xiao family's soul-calling whip."
"The Wang Quan family's background is really not small. Even the Great Demon King's magic weapon was repaired so easily."
Dongfang Guyue sighed.
"From what Xiao Wancheng said, I'm afraid the power of the Soul-Calling Whip hasn't been reduced much."
In the Yiqi Dao League, whether or not one has the magic weapon of the Great Demon King in the clan is two completely different statuses.
If the Xiao family did not have a magic weapon inherited from the Great Demon King, Xiao Wancheng would never dare to be so tough with him.
"Once a great demon king-level inheritance magic weapon is broken, it is not easy to completely repair it."
The head of the Li family sighed softly.
"As far as I know, although the Soul-Calling Whip has been repaired, its power has been greatly reduced and has dropped to the peak level of the Demon King."
“It’s downgraded to a whole level.”
"If you want to recover, you need at least ten years of nourishment."
"Then how did Xiao Wancheng keep his position as the head of the family?"
Dongfang Gu Yue was even more confused.
"Destroying the inherited magic weapon is the most serious crime committed by aristocratic families."
"After making such a mistake, even if Xiao Wancheng is the main branch of the family, he will not be able to keep the position of the head of the family."
"Originally, many elders of the Xiao family have jointly initiated an impeachment to remove Xiao Wancheng from his position as the head of the family."
The head of the Wen family said,
"At the critical moment, it was Butler Fei who stepped forward and personally guaranteed the case, allowing him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, and only then was Xiao Wancheng's family saved."
"In addition, the Wang Quan family also took out a formation diagram, combining the Soul-Subduing Whip with six Demon King-level inherited magic weapons to form a Great Demon King formation, which can exert the combat power of a Great Demon King."
"But even so, Xiao Wancheng's position as the head of the family has become the acting head of the family."
"I see."
Dongfang Guyue nodded.
The Wang Quan family's move this time can be said to have given the Xiao family a great demon king formation for nothing.
Once the Soul-Calling Whip is repaired, the Xiao family will possess two magical weapons belonging to the Great Demon King.
In the face of such huge interests, Xiao Wancheng’s past mistakes can naturally be ignored.
"In order to protect Xiao Wancheng, the Wang Quan family really spent a lot of money this time!"
"Xiao Wancheng is also lucky. He escaped so easily."
The head of the Li family said.
"But it seems that the Wang Quan family has no one else to use, so they value the Xiao family so much."
Dongfang Guyue nodded.
A group of people walked into the venue.
What comes into view is a spacious hall, nearly fifty meters long and wide.
There are several tables in the center, placed on both sides.
There is a huge screen on the front side.
A group of Taoist Alliance elders stepped forward and took their seats.
The three heads of the Yang, Li and Wen families naturally sat in the first few seats.
Following them are the Dongfang, Qing and Zhang families.
The Xiao family, the Mu family, the Ji family, the Deng family, the Chi family, and the Shi family are even further behind.
The status of many aristocratic families can be judged from the order of seating.
After everyone was seated, a short and fat old man walked slowly over and stood at the main seat.
"Because the leader is ill, I will preside over this meeting of elders on behalf of the leader."
"Fatty Fei, if the leader can't do it, just step down."
Dongfang Guyue knocked on the armrest of the chair casually.
"You are asked to do everything for me. I don't even know whether he, Wang Quan Shouzhuo, is the leader of the alliance or you, Fatty Fei!"
"Master Dongfang is joking."
Butler Fei said calmly,
"Although I am here, I am carrying out the orders of the Lord Alliance Leader. The Lord Alliance Leader should naturally be my family's head."
"Why are you the leader of the Dao League when you don't even show your face?"
Dongfang Guyue waved her hand.
"It would be better to abdicate and let someone from another family do it!"
"Your Wang Quan family has held the position of leader for hundreds and thousands of years. It's time to change it!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders present were surprised. No one had expected that Dongfang Gu Yue would attack Wang Quan's family from the very beginning.
Butler Fei frowned. Although Dongfang Gu Yue was rude, he hit the nail on the head for the Wang Quan family.
No matter how powerful the Wang Quan family is, the health of the head of the family is still an unavoidable problem.
For a moment, he was unable to respond directly.
"Dongfang Guyue, can you mess up the change of the leader's position?"
Seeing that Butler Fei was in trouble, Xiao Wancheng immediately jumped out and took the initiative to ridicule him.
"You are an upstart from outside, so you'd better put yourself in your proper place. It is not your turn to make decisions about the affairs of the Qidao League!"
"Positioned?"
Dongfang Guyue glanced at Xiao Wancheng sitting in the back seat with disdain.
"If we really want to position ourselves properly, you, Xiao Wancheng, should be the first one."
"This conference is for the first-class families to discuss all matters concerning the Dao Alliance."
"Your Xiao family doesn't even have the magic weapon of the Great Demon King anymore. How can you be on the same level as me?"
"In my opinion, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible!"
"My Xiao family still has the Great Demon King's formation. It still has the combat power of the Great Demon King."
Xiao Wancheng couldn't bear the humiliation and shouted angrily.
"The damn Great Demon King's formation is nothing but the leftovers of the Wang Quan family."
"From left hand to right hand, who are you trying to fool?"
Dongfang Guyue sneered.
"Dongfang Guyue, don't be so proud. My Xiao family's Soul-Calling Whip is only damaged temporarily. It will be repaired sooner or later." Xiao Wancheng said gritting his teeth.
"Then you'd better keep your mouth shut until the Soul-Calling Whip is repaired."
Dongfang Guyue snorted coldly.
"Eastern Elder!"
Butler Fei interrupted at the right time.
"This is a bit too much!"
"Although the Xiao family's inherited magic weapon has been damaged, they are still a member of our Dao Alliance family."
"For hundreds of years, he has devoted all his efforts to the Dao Alliance."
"Besides, there is still a chance to repair the Soul-Calling Whip."
"In consideration of their past contributions, we shouldn't make things so difficult for the Xiao family."
Knowing that the Xiao family had broken some of the rules by attending the meeting this time, Butler Fei began to make up for it by drawing on their past contributions.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. How can we generalize?"
At this time, the head of the Shi family interrupted and said,
"Who among you present here has not worked hard and made great contributions? Who among you has not made contributions to the Dao Alliance?"
"Can you rely on your past achievements to keep your position of power forever?"
"Since the Xiao family's magic weapon has been damaged, it will be difficult for them to protect the peace of the area as they did in the past."
"If that's the case, you should give up your position so as not to harm the people under your jurisdiction!"
When the head of the Shi family spoke, the surrounding Chi family, Deng family, and Mu family all turned their eyes to him.
"Why did this old guy take the initiative to speak for Dongfang Guyue? Could it be that he has also joined the Yang family?"
The head of the Chi family was confused.
In the past, the head of the Shi family had always kept his distance from both sides and never got involved in the disputes of the top aristocratic families. Now that he was actively intervening, it was obviously abnormal.
The elders also noticed something unusual about the head of the Shi family.
"That's right. If you don't have the ability, then step down quickly and let someone with the ability do it."
Dongfang Guyue expressed her support,
"Otherwise, if we can't hold on when we encounter an enemy, wouldn't that harm the entire human race?"
"Brother Gu Yue, what you said makes sense!"
"In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to conduct a Dao League test, verify the strength of positions at all levels of the Dao League, and re-elect the position of leader and elders at all levels!"
Yang Yifang, the head of the Yang family, said,
"This is to clarify the status of many aristocratic families. To prevent people from passing themselves off as the real ones."
"This method is quite good!"
The head of the Li family also spoke in agreement.
"It's a good opportunity to eliminate some unqualified people in the Dao League."
Many aristocratic families who supported the Yang family also spoke out in support.
Once this matter unfolds, the existing Taoist alliance structure will be completely broken.
There will definitely be a power vacancy at that time, and they can take the opportunity to divide up the vacant power.
For them, this is naturally a good thing.
Most of the families remained silent, as their aristocratic families already had inherited magical weapons to guard the family.
As long as the inherited magic weapon is there, the family strength is there, and whether there is an assessment or not will have no effect on it.
The Wang Quan family strongly opposed it.
Butler Fei frowned. Yang Yifang's remarks were clearly directed at their Wang Quan family and the Xiao family.
Generally, Taoist alliance families have inherited magic weapons. As long as there are one or two qualified successors, the power of the inherited magic weapons can be fully exerted.
Even if thousands of years have passed, the family's strength will not change. Therefore, they don't care about the so-called assessment.
But now there are two special situations in the Yiqidao Alliance.
The Wang Quan family and the Xiao family.
The Xiao family's inherited magic weapon was damaged. Even with the Great Demon King's formation to supplement it, its strength would never be the same as before.
However, the Xiao family controls the most powerful supervisory office in the alliance. It can be said that their virtue is not worthy of their position.
Once the evaluation is launched, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.
The problem of the Wang Quan family lies with Wang Quan Shouzhuo, the leader of the Taoist Alliance.
Although he holds the Royal Sword and has the combat power of a demon king.
However, due to his physical condition, he could not even show up in public. He had to entrust others to handle all the affairs of the Dao League.
Such a situation naturally does not meet the requirements for the position of alliance leader.
Once Yang Yifang's proposal is passed, their two families will be the first to bear the brunt.
Even their position as alliance leader would be shaken, so they naturally opposed this proposal.
Dongfang Guyue looked at the crowd with cold eyes. With one suggestion, the three forces were clearly divided. He could take this opportunity to distinguish between the enemy and us.
In the conference hall, the Yang family and the Wang Quan family were arguing endlessly.
"Everyone, please listen to me first!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Butler Fei interrupted the quarrel.
"Elder Yang's suggestion does have merit, but this matter is of great importance. I, a mere servant, dare not make the decision. The Lord Alliance Leader needs to make the decision."
"There are other topics for discussion at this meeting, so it's not convenient to discuss this matter. Let's discuss it later."
"Wang Quan Shouzhuo stays at home all day long, like an old cuckold. Where do you want us to find him?"
Dongfang Guyue sneered.
"If he never comes out, won't we have to wait for him forever?"
As the words fell, faint laughter was heard in the conference hall.
Butler Fei's expression instantly turned cold.
It's okay to insult himself, but he can't accept someone insulting his master.
"Elder Dongfang, although my master is seriously ill, he is still the leader of the Dao League. As a subordinate of the Dao League, you are really treasonous to insult the leader like this."
"No matter what, the position of alliance leader should be considered carefully. We can't just let Fatty Fei serve as the acting leader forever."
Dongfang Gu Yue seemed a little aggressive.
"Otherwise, what would this Qidao League become? Wouldn't it be a makeshift team?"
Previously, the Wang Quan family had plotted against his two daughters and their descendants, which had already torn their relations apart.
Now, it is only under the threat of force that the two sides have maintained a balance.
In the struggle for such interests, he naturally did not want to leave any room for maneuver.
"The position of the Taoist League elder has been passed down for thousands of years. This is the law of our ancestors and cannot be easily changed."
Under his pressure, Butler Fei had to express his attitude.
"As for the selection and replacement of the leader, it is the rule of the Dao Alliance to re-elect him every twenty years."
"There are still six years until the re-election of the leader. Before the time comes, no matter what, the leader cannot be replaced."
"This is true even though my master is seriously ill."
Being forced into a corner, Steward Fei had to use the Taoist Alliance rules and ancestral laws as a shield.
"The Dao League has never had a leader forced to abdicate! You are so aggressive, are you planning a rebellion?"
Xiao Wancheng also jumped out at this time and asked loudly.
His entire family depends on the Wang Quan family, so naturally he has to work hard for them.
"The Dao League doesn't even have a leader who doesn't even show his face!"
Dongfang Guyue said coldly.
No matter what excuses the other party uses, as long as he focuses on the fact that the other party is seriously ill, he will be invincible.
Xiao Wancheng glared at Dongfang Guyue, but could not say anything in rebuttal.
"Everyone, if you keep arguing like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach a conclusion even after three days and three nights."
Elder Wen said,
"Can we still open now?"
After hearing this, both sides looked away.
