The cold wave poured into the Haoqi Immortal Sect, the wild wind howled incessantly, the snowflakes danced in the wind like sharp blades, and there was only a white sky between the sky and the earth.
In the main hall of the main peak, an elders' meeting was held again on how to deal with Liu Nian. The participants in this elders' meeting were all elders with higher qualifications in the sect.
Liu Nian, the culprit, was lying unconscious in the middle of the hall.
Kneeling on the left side of Liu Nian was a barefoot woman wearing a long purple dress with a big bump on her forehead. She was the Obsidian Snake King who had returned to his human form.
Liangran, who had regained her human form, knelt on Liu Nian's right side.
Sitting high on the throne of the leader in white, with a slightly swaying white beard and long silvery hair that moves freely in the wind, it seems like invisible anger is burning around him.
He stared at Liu Nian below with a pair of tiger eyes. The appreciation in his eyes was gone, replaced by indifference and anger.
If Liu Nian was not a member of the Haoqi Immortal Sect, Bai Xingqie would have unleashed his rage and beat Liu Nian into a cripple.
It's a pity that Liu Nian is a member of the Haoqi Immortal Sect and an elder. He is also an elder whom he has a close relationship with.
The sect rules of the Haoqi Immortal Sect are written: When an elder in the sect makes a big mistake and no corresponding punishment can be found in the sect rules, the sect leader needs to convene an elders meeting to gather the will of everyone to deal with the wrong person, except for the sect’s Except for the punishment elders, no one has the right to kill first and report later.
In fact, no matter how perfect the rules are, there will always be situations where they are not suitable. It is undoubtedly a very foolish thing to stick to the rules.
Bai Xingqie naturally understood this truth, but he still had to adhere to the rules and could not act solely on his own will.
Because the sect rules are the code of conduct for members of the Haoqi Immortal Sect. It is an iron law, an order, and an inviolable regulation. Everyone must be in awe of it.
Once the sect rules disappear and everyone acts based on their own will, and whoever has the biggest fist will obey, then the Haoqi Immortal Sect will be in chaos.
Although door rules may not be suitable for all situations, and may even sometimes prevent people from acting correctly, it cannot be denied that the benefits of door rules far outweigh the disadvantages.
Bai Xingji is the leader of the Haoqi Immortal Sect and the majesty of the entire sect. Anyone in the sect is qualified to be punished for violating the rules, but only Bai Xingji is not.
Once this representative person sets a precedent for violating the sect rules, the binding force of the sect rules will be greatly reduced, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Bai Xingqi cannot do anything that violates the rules because of his own impulse, even if his reasons are reasonable.
The barrier of the main hall opened slightly, breaking the oppressive and silent atmosphere.
Bai Qiuming walked into the hall quickly, and the biting frost came with him: "Brother, I have found out the conditions of the four formations. There is no damage to the three formations in the southeast and west. Only the one in the north is damaged. The formation eye was affected.
I have also checked all the 2,100 formations in it, and only two formations to protect against cold and protect against heat are broken. "
Hearing that only the cold and heat protection formations were affected, the anger on Bai Xingqie's face faded a little, and then his face darkened again. He waved slightly to Bai Qiuming, signaling his junior brother to leave.
Because Bai Xingqie has always regarded Bai Qiuming as Liu Nian's future father-in-law, according to the sect rules, Bai Qiuming needs to avoid suspicion and cannot participate in this elders meeting.
After receiving the order, Bai Qiuming did not leave directly. Instead, he stood there and hesitated for a moment. He glanced helplessly at Liu Nian on the ground and said, "Brother, the sect's spirit gathering array is intact. The spiritual energy within him has not faded away either.
Although I can’t be sure whether Liu Nian did this intentionally, in my opinion..."
"Qiu Ming, you know the rules." Bai Xingji murmured, interrupting his junior brother's intercession.
When Bai Qiuming heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and wisely turned around and left the hall.
He knew his senior brother's mood. Bai Xingqie had always regarded Liu Nian as the hope for the rise of the Haoqi Immortal Sect. How much he valued Liu Nian before, he was now so disappointed.
Bai Xingji sighed: "I believe you all already know what mistake Liu Nian made.
He did not respect the sect's laws and acted recklessly. He damaged the sect's formation just for the sake of temporary pleasure. Each formation in the formation was built with extremely expensive heavenly materials and earthly treasures as the formation eyes.
Fortunately, with the blessing of his ancestors, his sword did not harm the sect's heritage, but it still caused immeasurable losses to the sect. "
Bai Xingqie's words were completely truthful, without any partiality or deliberate blame.
It is not unreasonable for him to attribute the fact that the sect's heritage has not been damaged to the blessings of his ancestors.
The sect's formation is composed of thousands of formations, and the layout of each formation is intricate. Without decades of research, it would be impossible to tell which one is the cold-warming formation, which one is the heat-resisting formation, and which one is the gathering one. The spiritual formation.
In addition, Liu Nian's destruction of the sect's formation was simply a method he came up with out of desperation because he could not find the person behind the rumors.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Liu Nian's behavior was just a whim, not a long-planned one.
Bai Xingqie was extremely disappointed with Liu Nian, and naturally he was not in the mood to think about other possibilities.
"The purpose of this elders' meeting is to discuss how to deal with Liu Nian. I hope that your personal biases will not affect the fairness of the outcome." Bai Xingqe paused, then turned his attention to Ziyi and Liangran, and spoke slowly. Said: "Zi Yi and Liang Ran, you two obstructed me and violated the 17th sect rule of the Haoqi Immortal Sect. According to the sect rules, you will be punished for two years of worship. Do you have any objections?"
Liangran bowed his head directly and replied: No objection.
Ziyi clenched his fists, looked at the unconscious little brother on the ground, and replied with a cute look on his face: "I don't have 100 million, only over 60 million."
Zi Yi's sudden display of wealth successfully caught many elders off guard.
It’s true that snakes cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Who could have imagined that this newly initiated elder in purple could be so rich.
Bai Xingqie sighed and said, "Since there are not 100 million...ahem...objections, you can go back first."
When Ziyi heard this, the cuteness on her face disappeared instantly, she immediately got up and hugged her little brother, and rushed out of the palace like flying.
She knew that everyone was going to punish Liu Nian, so she pretended to be crazy and stupid just for the sake of a moment of relaxation.
boom……
There was a violent impact, but the transparent barrier at the entrance of the palace was still as bright as new and unscathed.
Ziyi, on the other hand, sat down on the ground, and the big bump on his forehead became a little redder.
Before Zi Yi could react, Liu Nian in her arms had been snatched away by Bai Xingque with his magic power.
"Go back to your Beast Spirit Peak to see your children. I don't want to embarrass you!"
Immediately afterwards, a strong and soft air flow hit Ziyi from behind, blowing her out of the hall.
Bai Xingqie sat above the main hall, looked back at Liangran who was still staying there, and said coldly: "Liangran!"
Liangran didn't know whether it was fear or preparation. He knelt down on the ground and begged loudly: "Master, you punish me. Liangran doesn't dare to have any objection. It's just about the intention of senior Liu Nian, not you." Just as you thought."
Bai Xingqie was extremely angry at Liu Nian. When he heard Liangran plead for Liu Nian, he directly exuded the pressure of the Nascent Soul Realm and overwhelmed Liangran. He shouted angrily: "Liangran, if you plead for Liu Nian again, , and be punished with the same crime as him."
Bai Xingqie's pressure was far greater than the ordinary Yuanying Realm pressure. Only Liangran of the Foundation Establishment Realm gritted his teeth to avoid falling into coma on the spot.
Shao Qing, Bai Xingqie suppressed the anger in his heart, restrained the pressure exerted on Liangran, and said slowly: "Anyone who violates the sect rules for his own selfishness should be punished no matter what his intentions are.
If not for the blessing of his ancestors, he would have caused irreversible disaster this time. "
Liangran was sweating profusely and shouted: "Actually, Senior Liu Nian deliberately destroyed only two formations to protect against cold and heat. He never did it for personal gain. Everything he did was for The sect is great!"
"What did you say!" Bai Xingqe stood up abruptly and looked down with burning eyes.
Liangran gasped for breath, took out a brick from his arms, and handed it upwards with trembling hands. When he saw the brick, tears rolled down from Liangran's eyes uncontrollably. He sobbed and said: "Master,... This is what Senior Liu Nian gave me yesterday. It contains the magic of conveying spirits through objects, please read it."
Bai Xingqie grasped it with his five fingers and took the brick into his palm. Suddenly a piece of text appeared in his mind. He closed his eyes tightly and began to read the text in his mind.
"Liangzi, don't be happy. What I wrote is not a magic spell."
…
"Enough chatter, I may have a fight with the leader tomorrow and I need your help.
Don't refuse in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say.
Nowadays, the cold wave from the outside world has invaded, and the interior of Haoqi Immortal Sect has also been affected, causing the disciples within the sect to huddle in bed every day and not practice properly. This has greatly affected the development of our sect.
As a member of the Haoqi Immortal Sect, I am determined to solve the cold wave problem, but I am limited by the sect rules and cannot grant favors to the disciples without proper reasons.
Apart from using the monk's methods to show kindness to the disciples, I really can't think of any other way to solve this natural disaster.
What a sad day!
I think our tall, mighty, handsome, gentle, kind, kind and loving leader is also troubled by this every day! "
"He values me so much and has always favored me in every possible way. I will solve the impact of the cold wave on Haoqi Immortal Sect no matter what, and contribute to the development of Haoqi Immortal Sect.
I thought about it so much that I lost several hairs, and finally figured out a way to solve the cold wave.
Since the sect rules stipulate that no favors can be given to sect disciples without a suitable reason, then can't I just find a suitable reason? "
"Tomorrow I will destroy the cold and heat resistance formations in the sect's formation. Then all the blame for the sect's coldness will fall on me.
In this case, I can use atonement as a reason to solve the cold wave problem.
However, the leader will definitely stop me. I have no confidence in defeating the leader, so I need you to come out and help me.
In that pink Taoist robe, there is recorded a move that I have been thinking about for a long time, called: Grave of Love!
This trick is super suitable for you. Once you use it, even the leader will lose his mind for a moment.
By the way, no one can mention this matter before I destroy the sect's formation. I need to maintain the image of a sinner.
You can tell the boss afterwards that I don't want someone like him who cares about me to be disappointed in me.
However, I think he trusted me so much that he would definitely be able to tell the truth afterwards.
He is my only support in Haoqi Immortal Sect. Almost everyone in the sect hates me, but he is the only one who has high hopes for me.
I think the leader can definitely see my intentions. "
"And...what if, I mean, what if...
If I am accidentally beaten to death by the leader, then you must not tell the leader about it.
He is the elder I respect most.
I would rather he treat me as a random brat who only cares about temporary pleasure than let him have a trace of regret in his heart. "
After reading this last paragraph, Bai Xingqi's eyes were filled with tears, and he slumped down on the throne of the leader behind him like an old man.
This move really frightened many elders in the audience.
"Head!"
"Master, what's wrong with you!"
"Liangran, what did you show the leader?"
…
"Nothing, I just want to sit for a while!" Bai Xingqie waved his hand slightly to reassure everyone.
Afterwards, Bai Xingqie looked at the unconscious Liu Nian with an apologetic look, as if he were looking at his own son.
The appreciation that had passed in his eyes slowly returned, and it was stronger than before.
