Chapter 822 Crisis, Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate

In the Liuyin Hall, the head of the sect, Hua Zhenzi, took three incense sticks, bowed down devoutly, and offered incense to the ancestor.

His eldest disciple, Gu Tianxing, also followed suit and worshiped the ancestor in a serious manner.

After offering incense, Hua Zhenzi took two cushions and motioned Gu Tianxing to sit down in the hall.

Gu Tianxing hesitated again and again, and finally spoke:

"Uncle Jiyue has gone too far these days, killing too many fellow disciples and causing chaos."

"Elder Qin, Uncle Chen and the others can't stand it anymore, why don't you come forward to stop Uncle Jiyue?"

Hua Zhenzi glanced at him, but didn't answer directly, instead asked:

"Tianxing, do you know why your master didn't choose Jiyue, who has the highest qualifications, or your Uncle Tu, who has the strongest combat power, but chose me as the head of the sect?"

Gu Tianxing was stunned, pondered for a while, and answered:

"I don't know."

Hua Zhenzi said:

"Because I have a good temper and can tolerate others."

"The Corpse Driving Sect is weak, and needs to be soft to the outside world and keep a low profile. The Taoist scriptures say: The strong will perish, and the weak will live."

Gu Tianxing seemed to be thinking about something.

Indeed, the Corpse Driving Sect is already weak in strength. If it is aggressive to the outside world, it will only accelerate the consumption of the already scarce resources.

A country that is small but does not humble itself, has little power but does not fear the strong, is rude but insults its big neighbor, will perish.

The corpse-driving sect has been able to survive to this day despite its weakness, and the strategy of keeping a low profile has contributed greatly.

At this time, Hua Zhenzi said again:

"Being soft on the outside and keeping a low profile does not mean giving in blindly. If you are soft on the outside, you must be hard on the inside."

"In the past, your Uncle Tu was domineering and overbearing. How could I tolerate him? Because he and I are the same."

"After Brother Tu died, the Corpse Driving Sect further weakened until your Uncle Jiyue came back."

Gu Tianxing pondered for a long time:

"Master, I seem to understand a little."

"Could it be that you secretly support Uncle Tu?"

Hua Zhenzi did not comment, and then said:

"Your Junior Brother Li Debiao is also reckless and rough. If used well, he will be the sharpest knife after you take over as the head of the sect."

"He does things that are inconvenient for you to do; he says things that you cannot say."

"The more ferocious he is, the sharper the knife in your hand will be."

"If you can be grateful to him and control him with dignity, you can sit firmly in the position of the head of the sect."

Gu Tianxing understood.

No wonder his master was secretly accused of being weak, but his position as the head of the sect was as stable as Mount Tai.

"So that's how it is. I'll learn from your teachings."

"Master, what about Junior Brother Yun Feilong? How should we treat him?"

Hua Zhenzi was not annoyed, and patiently taught:

"If you take over the position of the head of the sect in the future, you and Li Debiao will work together to maintain the sect's invincibility."

"If Yun Feilong can break through to the immortal, my corpse-driving sect will have hope of revival."

Suddenly, he sighed:

"The role of Yun Feilong was originally similar to that of Junior Sister Ji Yue."

"Junior Sister Ji Yue is extremely talented and has the hope of breaking through to the immortal. This is what Master hopes for."

"It's a pity that what happened back then, Ji Yue left for thousands of years before returning, and he didn't break through after all."

Gu Tianxing suddenly realized and secretly praised the arrangement of his master.

He then said:

"What about Junior Brother Bai? What role should he play?"

Hua Zhenzi pondered for a long time and said:

"Bai Yu looks ordinary, but if you think about it, he is a little unpredictable. It's hard to say."

"Since your Uncle Ji Yue came back, her lineage has been unpredictable."

Gu Tianxing's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he said:

"Master, Uncle Ji Yue has caused public outrage, you should restrain him more."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect you."

Hua Zhenzi sighed:

"Ji Yue is not Senior Brother Tu. Without thousands of years of tacit understanding, I can't restrain her."

"She has indeed gone too far recently, and I am often frightened."

The master and disciple looked at each other in silence.

The corpse-driving sect was in turmoil, and even the head felt powerless.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from outside the hall, and a group of people swarmed in.

Seeing this, Hua Zhenzi put away his sad face and asked:

"Elder Qin, Junior Brother Wu, Junior Brother Feng, Junior Brother Chen, why are you here?"

The people who entered the hall were the deputy head Wu Changlin, a group of elders, the hall master, and core disciples such as Zhongshan and Qin Wuyang.

Almost all the high-level members of the Corpse Driving Sect gathered here.

The two white eyebrows of Feng Changmei, the head of the Military Hall, opened like arrows, and he shouted:

"Brother Hua Zhen, we are going to hold a grand ceremony meeting of the sect to impeach Ji Yue!"

Hua Zhenzi's face was slightly gloomy:

"Brother Feng, the grand ceremony meeting is not a joke."

"Although Ji Yue acted rashly and gave me a headache, he finally stabilized the war on the front line."

"Besides, we are from the same sect, why should we treat each other like mortal enemies?"

Elder Qin snorted coldly:

"If she thought of the friendship between fellow disciples, how could she not give face at all and attack my grandson?"

"My disciple Wu Yang has superior talent. If he has any problem, I will never forgive her."

"Also, your disciple Zhong Shan was turned into a half-wasted person by her soul search. How can you be a master?"

Elder Qin has the most senior talent, even the head of the sect has to respect him.

Ji Yue was not capturing Qin Wuyang before, but clearly touching his lifeblood. How could he bear it?

Deputy head Wu Changlin said loudly:

"The sect rules state that if more than 70 elders sign together, a great ceremony of the sect can be initiated."

"Brother Hua Zhen, Ji Yue has already angered everyone, you don't need to consider the friendship of fellow disciples."

Other elders and hall masters all echoed.

"That's right, she doesn't care whether we live or die."

"With her here, we can't even sleep peacefully. Why is this?"

"Master, my disciple is not willing to give in. It is clear that he can spare my Taoist foundation, but Jiyue forcibly searches for my soul!"

Hua Zhenzi has always been weak in style, and facing this fierce crowd, he couldn't suppress it.

If Ji Yue is forced to favor Ji Yue, I'm afraid even his leader will be implicated.

Finally, nine long bells spread throughout the Corpse Exorcist Sect and echoed throughout the Liuyin Valley.

The corpse exorcism sect held a grand meeting!

The bell rings nine times, and all elder hall masters and core disciples must attend the conference!

At the Corpse Farm, Bai Yu just merged ten Law Mysteries.

Now, the star chart above his head has lit up sixty-six stars, which means he controls sixty-six kinds of laws.

His joy did not last long before he heard the bell ringing inside the door and his expression changed slightly.

The sect’s great ceremony!

When encountering major issues that even the leader cannot decide, all senior officials will be summoned to hold a grand meeting.

He almost immediately guessed that it was related to Ji Yue.

"Things are going to get worse. Master will go into seclusion. Uncle Ruyan will lead the Shenfeng Palace on his behalf. He will no longer be able to suppress the other elders."

He walked around the cave and took several storage bracelets with him.

Then he flew to the Liuyin main hall.

In the hall, everyone looked solemn, with a faint smell of gunpowder.

Bai Yu found a corner and sat down.

Half an hour later, Deputy Head Wu Changlin said loudly:

"In this grand meeting, all the elders will vote to decide whether to expel the scourge Ji Yue!"
