Supreme Demon God

Chapter 182: Split

The Sect Master was naturally not something that anyone could abolish, but it was not completely impossible.

When the elder's words were uttered, everyone around was shocked.

Let alone whether the elders were qualified to abolish the Sect Master, they almost never thought of such a rebellious remark.

After finally reacting, everyone realized that something was wrong. Maybe something big was going to happen to the Seraphic Sword Sect.

The Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect also realized that it was not good. If there was no absolute certainty, the other party would not say such a thing, indicating that the other party was really sure to abolish his position.

With a sharp change in his mind, he said, "It's up to you to abolish me, the Sect Master?"

This was equivalent to a challenge.

The disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect on the scene even felt like a gigantic mountain of rain was coming.

Such a big Seraphic Sword Sect, there must be internal conflicts, but it had been suppressed in the past, and on the surface, it had a peaceful appearance.

But now, there were elders who were planning to showdown, and the Sect Master was also welcoming the fight, which was equivalent to an internal contradiction that suddenly broke out. The ultimate fate was likely to be that the mighty Seraphic Sword Sect would be torn into two sides.

As disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect, they definitely didn't want this to happen, so they became nervous for a while.

The elder naturally knew the consequences of internal conflicts, but he was not afraid at all, and snorted coldly, "Ji Linyuan, don't think that after you become the Sect Master, no one can rule you. Even if you become the Sect Master, this Seraphic Sword Sect is not yours alone!"

Ji Linyuan was the name of the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect, but after becoming the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect, everyone called him "Sect Master". And now, this elder was the first to call him by his name directly in front of him.

His face was very gloomy, "Even if the Seraphic Sword Sect is not mine alone, it's still not your turn to say it. As the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect, you don't respect the etiquette of the sect, you just called your Sect Master by name directly. Today, this Sect Master will follow the sect rules and punish you to the Repentance Tower for three months of repentance."

As he spoke, he looked at the two elders present.

The two elders were both Ji Linyuan's confidantes. After receiving a signal, they hurriedly stepped forward, trying to subdue the elder who called Ji Linyuan by his name.

However, at this moment, a voice rang, "Hold on!"

Hearing this voice, Ji Linyuan's face changed, and the two elders who were about to take action also stopped.

Everyone turned their heads and saw three gray-haired elders. The who voiced out earlier was the one who was walking in the front.

The disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect did not know the identities of these people, but the deacons present would not be unclear the three remaining elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect were the uncles of the current lord Ji Linyuan according to their seniority.

The three supreme elders had been in retreat for many years, and they had long been uncaring about the world, and had not even appeared in the public eye for a long time. They only sought to break through to the realm above Sea Core Realm.

But now, the three supreme elders suddenly left the seclusion and intervened in the affairs of the sect, which really caught people off guard.

"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Bai, Uncle Shan," Ji Linyuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The others also saluted, "I have seen Supreme Elder Zhong, Supreme Elder Bai, and Supreme Elder Shan."

The person walking in the front was Supreme Elder Zhong, named Zhong Ruhao, and one to the left and one to the right were Supreme Elder Bai Bai Lizhi, and Supreme Elder Shan   Shan Yuanze.

Zhong Ruhao looked around, raised his hand, and said, "You don't have to be polite."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Sect Master Ji Linyuan, "Nephew Ji, I heard that something has happened on Spirit Island. We need you to explain it."

Ji Linyuan frowned, "Uncle Zhong, things are like this..."

Before he could explain, Zhong Ruhao interrupted again, "Wait, everyone has just returned to the sect, so they must be all tired. Go back to the Boundless Hall and sit down and talk slowly."

Ji Linyuan suspected that Zhong Ruhao had deliberately asked him to explain, and deliberately wanted to interrupt him, but the other party was a supreme elder, his uncle in terms of generation. So even if he had a temper in his heart, he would not have a good method to attack.

...

A group of people moved the venue and headed to Boundless Hall.

All the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect who participated in the trial on Spirit Island must attend this meeting. Naturally, Mo Xiu was not spared, and even followed by Xing Yuyan into the Boundless Hall.

Sect Master Ji Linyuan and the elders who accompanied them would also participate, but the elders who had not gone to Spirit Island had also come, and even the deacons of the Seraphic Sword Sect had been summoned to the Boundless Hall.

Everyone gathered in one hall.

Under the eyes of everyone, the three supreme elders climbed up and sat.

Originally, there were only nine seats in the hall, which were for Sect Master Ji Linyuan and eight elders with higher status. But after the three elders sat down, even Ji Linyuan dared not sit with them, let alone those eight.

Zhong Ruhao did not politely greet Ji Linyuan to come up and sit down. When everyone was quiet, he said, "Nephew Ji, about the trial on Spirit Island, please explain to everyone."

Ji Linyuan nodded and described in detail what he had learned about the Spirit Island trial.

Everyone listened patiently without saying a word.

It wasn't until Ji Linyuan finished speaking that Zhong Ruhao frowned and said, "So, all the incidents this time were caused by Wu Jue?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu seemed very calm, with an expressionless face, neither affirmed nor denied.

On the contrary, Ji Linyuan couldn't help but explain, "Uncle Zhong, Wu Jue was also forced to do so. He is not to blame for the situation at the time. Moreover, not only the disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect, but also I and the elders who accompanied me were saved by him. Even if there is a fault, what he did is enough to offset the merit."

Zhong Ruhao shook his head slightly, "Merit is merit, and fault is fault. How can one say that merit can be offset?"

As he said, he looked at the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect present, "After all, your Sect Master did not participate in the Spirit Island trial. He just took you to Spirit Island. What you have learned may be more one-sided, except for what has just been mentioned. Do you have anything to add?"

The disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect looked at each other.

Zhong Ruhao: "Don't be afraid, just say what you have, and we will support you."

Hearing this, a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect finally stood up and said, "Supreme Elder, Wu Jue is extremely vicious. He killed his fellow students during the trial, this disciple asks Supreme Elder Zhong to punish him severely!"

Then, he described in detail what happened in Earth valley, focusing on Mo Xiu killing people even when he knew the rules of the sect, and even threatened not to save everyone, forcing everyone to stand on the sidelines.

Bu Jianting didn't say what happened back then, so Ge Liuyun didn't know, nor did Ji Linyuan and the elders accompanying him.

Now hearing this person speak out, Ge Liuyun and Ji Linyuan couldn't help but feel a little astonished.

Zhong Ruhao was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said, "This is unreasonable!"

He said, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, take Wu Jue down!"

The elders who had long wanted to kill Mo Xiu stepped forward again and surrounded Mo Xiu and Xing Yuyan.

Upon seeing this, Ji Linyuan was immediately unhappy, and shouted, "Hold on!"

Everyone looked at Ji Linyuan say, "Wu Jue is certainly wrong, but the situation at that time must be blamed on that disciple's ignorance of current affairs. He had already been warned, but he repeatedly provoked. His death is not strange, is it?"

"Nephew Ji, you are sheltering Wu Jue!" Zhong Ruhao snorted coldly. "Originally, we thought that the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect today would surely lead the sect to a higher level. But now, you have not only failed to lead to a higher level, but you also made the Seraphic Sword Sect offend all the sects of the Profound Sky Continent. Now, you don't think about his mistakes, but you even blindly protect Wu Jue..."

Speaking of this, he even stood up and pointed to Ji Linyuan's nose and said, "I think you are no longer suitable to be the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect of the day. Instead of letting you continue, I should be the one!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ji Linyuan was stunned, and then he realized Zhong Ruhao's true intentions. He did not expect this old monster to want to seize power!

It was just that he couldn't figure it out one thing. The three former elders were all in seclusion, and none of them stood up to pick things up, and they didn't seem to be interested in the power of the sect previously. Why were they suddenly standing up for power now?

His mind turned sharply, and he suddenly laughed, "Good calculation! Uncle Zhong made a good calculation!"

Zhong Ruhao didn't feel ashamed, and said solemnly, "According to the rules laid down by the ancestors, the Supreme Elder has no right to establish a Sect Master, but as long as there are sufficient reasons and consensus, the Sect Master can be abolished."

After finishing speaking, he announced loudly, "Now, our three elders have unanimously decided to abolish the seat of Ji Linyuan from now on. One month later, the new leader will be elected by the deacons and elders through a public vote. On my behalf, the affairs of the sect will be negotiated jointly by our three elders."

When this voice fell, some secretly delighted, some did not make waves, and some had a solemn face.

Soon, Zhong Ruhao said again, "Now, implement the first decision of the generation lord and take down Wu Jue!"

"Who dares!"

Ji Linyuan broke out on the spot, "You want to abolish my position, I have nothing to say, but Wu Jue is not at fault at all. If someone dares to touch Wu Jue's hair, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Ji Linyuan!" Zhong Ruhao was angry at once. "You are no longer the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect, so be careful when you speak!"

"What if I am not the Sect Master of Seraphic Sword Sect?"

Ji Linyuan glanced away, and many elders and deacons in the hall gathered around him.

When some of the disciples saw this, they followed Ji Linyuan and looked like they would support Ji Linyuan to the end.

Zhong Ruhao's face turned ashen as he glanced at the others. Except for the elders who surrounded Mo Xiu and Xing Yuyan, a lot of people walked to the other side and confronted him with Ji Linyuan and the others.

Although it had not yet divided into two sects, the internal division was obvious.

Mo Xiu had already taken measures to deal with it. As long as he showed off his cards, the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect would absolutely not dare to do anything to him, nor would they dare to move Xing Yuyan.

But Ji Linyuan's determination to protect him exceeded his expectations.

Although he didn't know why Ji Linyuan tried to protect him at all costs, he didn't plan to show his cards now.

After thinking about it, he gestured to Xing Yuyan and squeezed out of the encirclement of the elders, and walked to Ji Linyuan's side.

The elders glanced at each other, no longer clinging to Mo Xiu, but went to the other camp.

At this time, Zhong Ruhao snorted coldly, "Ji Linyuan, you did it first. In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

After speaking, he announced, "Now, implement the second decision of the acting Sect Master and revise the sect rules!"
