Chapter 117: Master, I have objections
Taoist Qingyuan was aloof and arrogant by nature, and rarely took the initiative to participate in sect affairs. However, this time, he not only arrived at the scene quickly after receiving the news, but also put forward his own opinions, which was really surprising.
But everyone else could understand it. After all, Daoist Master Qing Yuan had just lost his only two disciples more than a month ago, one of whom was a natural Taoist who he had high hopes for. How could he not be heartbroken? Not immediately running to Nanzhou to kill the person in charge of the secret realm with a sword was already considered calm and rational.
Over the past month, he has repeatedly asked the sect master to severely punish the leader and three elders of the Nanzhou Xuanbing Sect, but the sect master has not given him an accurate answer.
The sect leader lowered his brows and was silent for a moment, then said, "What does Daoist Master Qing Yuan think?"
"We agree to the Hanhai Sect's request. However, we set a limit on the number of disciples who can enter, so that only Jindan-stage disciples can enter." Daojun Qingyuan said.
Master Qi of Purple Moon Peak couldn't help but ask, "Who is that?"
Daoist Master Qing Yuan glanced at him and said, "Don't Nanzhou have three Jindan-stage elders? Let them go."
The other peak masters suddenly fell silent.
This Taoist Master Qing Yuan wants to send all those people from Nanzhou to their deaths. It seems that his temper is still the same as before and has not become softer just because he has accepted two disciples over the years.
Hall Master Xu of the Law Enforcement Hall said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Nanzhou can't hand over three golden elixirs, because my second brother is dead."
It was no secret that Elder Xu was dead. The sect master and several other peak masters also knew about it, but Taoist Qingyuan did not pay attention to it or care about it. Moreover, Elder Xu's death was too strange. His body has not been found yet, and the cause of his death is unknown. And Hall Master Xu did not seem to want to investigate it.
It seems that there may be other hidden stories behind Elder Xu's death, but these people don't care. As a member of the Xu family, Elder Xu could have been doing well relying on the Xu family's resources, but it was Xu Sixi who offended the wrong person. Elder Xu knew the reason but still went along with it, which led to the two of them being exiled to Nanzhou.
Cheng Lun said, "Besides, the remaining two Jindan are both about to die and have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. If we send them, how can the other two sects not see that they are abandoned?"
"Then pick a few more golden elixirs from the inner sect." Taoist Qingyuan said impatiently.
Hall Master Xu said: "Ordinary inner disciples still have flaws."
"You mean to send a personal disciple?" Master Qi Feng asked with some dissatisfaction. He was a little worried about the issue of selection just now.
There is no other reason. In the Xuanbing Sect, only Ziyue Peak and Xiaochi Peak have many disciples. He and Peak Master Li have been accepting disciples for thousands of years. Over time, they have many direct disciples. There are nearly a hundred Jindan disciples in total. If the Sect Master really agrees to this plan, it is very likely that this direct disciple will come from their two peaks.
Daoist Master Qing Yuan sneered, "What are you worried about, Master Qi? If you don't want your disciples to go, I have a good candidate here, Qin Taihe from Yaoguang Peak, how about it?"
Master Zhao Feng hesitated and said, "Although Qin Taihe is the best among the disciples, he is still in the early stage of Jindan..."
The other peak masters all fell silent, and seeing this, Peak Master Zhao stopped speaking for Qin Taihe.
Master Qi Feng sighed and said, "Daojun Qingyuan is so cruel. One is your senior brother, and the other is your junior sister's son, and you don't care about the friendship between us in the past."
"I don't have any brothers or sisters anymore." Daoist Master Qing Yuan said in a cold voice without any emotion. He looked at the Sect Master and said, "What do you think, Sect Master?"
The master thought for a moment, then paced outside the hall, looking at the sky that suddenly darkened, and said:
"Fairy Qingping and her husband have been dead for so many years, and Xizhou has no intention of taking them back. It seems that they really don't care about Qin Taihe... Never mind, let's just pick him. Select five people, except for the two from Nanzhou, plus Qin Taihe and Hall Master Jia. The remaining two candidates will be selected by your Zongwu Hall. There is no time to waste, let them set off tomorrow morning."
The man who had been invisible was about to say yes, but before he could open his mouth, he was suddenly interrupted. "Wait."
A female cultivator walked in from outside the hall, bowed her head slightly and saluted, "Master, I have an objection."
The sect leader looked at the female cultivator in surprise, "Master Qinghong?"
A gleam of irony flashed across True Lord Qinghong's eyes. It was really ridiculous that they decided her disciple's life or death so easily, but she was the last one to know.
It’s just because she is in the Nascent Soul stage and doesn’t hold any position in the sect.
The sect master said in a soothing tone: "Master Qinghong, please consider the overall interests of the sect first. The sect will certainly compensate you afterwards."
"Master, I have no objection to the decision of the sect, but I do object to the person you have chosen." True Lord Qinghong said quickly: "Fairy Qingping is also my junior sister. How can I let the last trace of her bloodline be cut off in my hands? I have other disciples who are taught by me personally. Qin Taihe doesn't have to go."
True Lord Qinghong knew very well that it would be difficult for her to change the result decided by these Dao Lords of Transformation, because no one wanted to be the one sacrificing their own interests for the sake of the sect.
No matter which peak master's direct disciple is changed, they will not agree.
The sect leader was surprised, "I remember that Qin Taihe is your only disciple?"
True Lord Qinghong lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I have another disciple who is going through the golden elixir tribulation today."
The sect leader looked at the sky outside and suddenly said, "I was wondering why there was a calamity cloud today. It turns out that your disciple is going through the calamity. But that person should not be your direct disciple."
"After today, she will be the one." True Lord Qinghong said, "Meng Hui, a registered disciple of Yaoguang Peak, has passed the tribulation and become a golden elixir today. I am very happy to see this, so I have specially accepted her as my personal disciple and reported this to the sect master."
“This…” The sect leader looked around at the expressions of the other Dao Lords.
Daoist Master Qing Yuan stood up and walked over to the two of them. "I can understand that Senior Sister loves her disciple dearly. As long as your disciple can successfully survive the tribulation today, I have no objection."
After saying that, he strode out of the hall.
Hall Master Xu immediately echoed, "I have no objection either."
No one else objected, and the clan leader didn't want to be the bad guy, so he nodded and said, "Yes, wait until she has survived the catastrophe, then you can bring her here for the personal ceremony."
"Thank you, Sect Master." True Lord Qinghong bowed again and turned to leave.
In the distance, under the gray-black clouds, the air waves were rolling and the thunder and lightning were roaring, which made people feel extremely depressed just by looking at it.
I clearly achieved my goal and saved my junior sister's son, but why don't I feel happy at all?
She couldn't help asking herself.
Why did these brothers and sisters end up like this?
Thanks for the monthly ticket ~
