Faced with such accusations and humiliation, the elder Niu Lin couldn't bear it anymore and shouted sternly: "Gu Shunwen, what's so great about you? Isn't it just luck that you broke through the realm of transformation?"
"I'm not afraid of you. If you have the ability, compete with me to see if I'm inferior to you!"
"Oh... If you want to compete with me, you will definitely be humiliating yourself!" Gu Shunwen's eyes were cold and showed no dignity at all.
"you…….."
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Cao Zhengxin, as the leader of the clan, changed his expression and scolded sternly: "Shut up, you all don't look like an elder at all!"
The sound was so loud that it made people shudder.
Seeing the sect leader speaking, the two elders immediately stopped arguing and sat quietly, but they looked at each other with anger in their eyes.
And there are so many elders here, everyone has different eyes and seems to have different thoughts, which also indicates that Cixin Sect is not monolithic.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Cao Zhengxin then returned to his smiling demeanor and said in an instant, "I think what both sides said is reasonable, and I also believe that everyone is doing it for the good of the sect."
"Actually, whether it is me, the deputy sect leader, or all the elders, they are all pillars of Cixin Sect, and they are all very important."
"Those disciples and sect deacons are our cornerstone. If we lose too much, it will have a great impact on the future of our Compassionate Sect."
"I know all your opinions. Since everyone agrees with the call, I will also tell you what I mean based on your thoughts."
After Cao Zhengxin said these words, most of the elders below immediately spoke.
"Please give me some instructions, Sect Master!"
"Well!" Cao Zhengxin glanced at the elders below and seemed very satisfied with their attitude, and then said solemnly: "Actually, what Elder Niu Lin said is not unreasonable."
"For the future of the sect, we have to make some sacrifices. We can appropriately send out some sect disciples who have found it difficult to continue to improve their realm."
"Of course, we still have to send some powerful monsters over to let the world see what our Compassionate Sect is capable of."
"And I also have an idea in my mind. Over the years, our Cixin Sect has become closer and closer to the Daxia Empire. We should perform better in this battle with the demon clan."
"The empire requires us to continue sending five elder-level experts. I would rather have a deputy sect master-level expert lead the team. This will show our Compassionate Sect's determination to follow the empire closely. What do you think?"
After Cao Zhengxin expressed his intention, two-thirds of the elders present immediately expressed their agreement with the sect leader's decision.
Unfortunately, there were still some elders who did not express their opinions clearly, but instead focused on the two deputy sect leaders who were also silent, as if they were waiting for their prompts.
Lian Zhanxiong's expression was uncertain, then he smiled disdainfully and said loudly: "Sect Master, does our Cixin Sect want to please the Daxia Empire so much?"
"You really plan to let Yi Siyuan and I fight against the demon clan. I'm not afraid of anything, but I think it's not worth it. Do you want to reconsider this matter, or ask the old sect leader for instructions."
When Cao Zhengxin heard the old sect leader's instructions, his brows suddenly jumped, and the gloom in his eyes flashed away.
This scene caught the attention of the female deputy sect master Yi Siyuan who had been paying attention to him.
The lady-like deputy sect leader also said with a smile: "Lian Zhanxiong is right, I also want to know what the old sect leader means!"
The two deputy sect leaders carried out the old sect leader one after another, and Cao Zhengxin also showed his majestic side at this time.
With all his strength coming out, he said in a loud voice: "Master has retired, and now he has given me all the decision-making power of Cixin Sect."
"You should know what I mean. Regarding the imperial recruitment order, I really can't bear to disturb his Qingxiu. I hope you can understand this."
At this time, Cao Zhengxin was very domineering and lost his usual gentleness.
Then he made a decision: "Okay, I have decided on this matter. Next, we will discuss the candidates who will be called this time."
Cao Zhengxin's tough attitude shocked the two deputy sect masters, and they realized that the man in front of them was the sect master in Cixin, and he was once the most proud disciple of the old sect master.
At this moment, Lian Zhanxiong could only take a deep breath and asked in a particularly calm tone: "So, sect master, who do you want to send over?"
"Deputy Sect Master Yi Siyuan and I, who is more suitable to lead the disciples there?"
Cao Zhengxin did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Deputy Master Lian, your proud disciple, Elder Qiu Ye, was killed. Don't you want to avenge him?"
Lian Zhanxiong was thoughtful, and soon he burst out laughing: "Hahaha...I understand!"
He nodded heavily, looked at the elders below and said: "Okay, since the sect master wants me to go, then I, Lian Zhanxiong, will go and see how powerful the monsters who killed my disciples are!"
A smile broke out on Cao Zhengxin's face, and he quickly said: "It is really worthy of praise that the deputy sect leader is willing to take risks for the sect."
Once the deputy sect leader is decided, the other four elders will be able to handle it easily.
At this moment, a person suddenly stood up. This person was pale, with a sad beard on his chin, his hair was disheveled, and he was not elegant at all.
I just heard him say calmly: "I want to occupy one of these five places. As you know, my life is coming to an end. I have only a few decades to live."
"It's only right that I can fight the monsters now and use my last remaining energy. Maybe between life and death, I can break through to a higher realm."
Everyone was shocked and looked at the elder. Some understood, some praised his courage, and some disdained his stupidity and madness.
When Cao Zhengxin saw someone taking the initiative to stand up, he immediately smiled and said: "Elder Liu, you have sacrificed too much for the sect. I will bring Cixin Sect to thank you. Since you are ready this time, go ahead!"
Then he asked: "Are there any other elders who are willing to take the initiative to go?"
Everyone looked at each other. Among them, Elder Gu Shunwen, who was quarreling with Elder Niu, stood up and said righteously: "I am willing to go, isn't it just to fight the demon clan? What's so scary?"
At this moment, two more elders took the initiative to stand up and expressed their willingness to serve the sect to the death.
Seeing that more than five elders had gathered together, Cao Zhengxin seemed very satisfied.
At this time, he thought of something and said to Xin Tuo, the vice-president of the Taoist Academy who was silent: "Vice-dean Xin, regarding Elder Xiong's proposal, let those in the Taoist Academy who have not joined our Compassionate Heart Sect contribute to the sect. , I think it’s feasible.”
"Let's do this! I'll leave this matter to you. Of course, it's all based on their own volition, but we don't want to miss out on the benefits that should be given. Do you understand?"
Although Xianduo is not an elder, he has the strength of an elder.
Strictly speaking, if the dean of the Taoist Academy does not come forward, he is responsible for everything there.
In the Taoist Academy, the only one who could compete with him was Yang Mingguo.
Seeing that the sect leader entrusted him with such a task, he happily replied: "Please rest assured, sect leader, I will definitely handle this matter well. It is also an honor for them to contribute to our Compassionate Heart Sect."
"Very good!" Cao Zhengxin was very satisfied. Next, he looked at Elder Niu Lin and said in a playful tone: "Elder Niu, as for the five hundred disciples sent this time, it's up to you and Elder Xiong. People are responsible for the selection.”
"You have to hurry up. The imperial recruitment order says that within fifteen days, our strong men from the Compassionate Sect must rush to the border."
"Just make your decision on this matter, there is no need to ask me for advice!"
Elder Niu and Elder Xiong accepted the order happily, and Cao Zhengxin decided everything simply.
This made Lian Zhanxiong and Yi Siyuan feel powerless. Cao Zhengxin was the leader of Cixin Sect, and his power suppressed them, and his strength was even stronger than them.
He has a huge say in the entire sect, and the decisions he makes are difficult to influence even if the two deputy sect leaders put them together.
When the big bosses of the Cixin Sect were deciding on these matters, many large and small sects and families in the eastern region of the Daxia Empire were also discussing.
Black Sky Territory, Xuemang Mountain, this is the gate of Purgatory Sect.
As one of the ten major demon sects in the Eastern Warring Continent, the Purgatory Sect, together with the Tianmo Sect and Tiankui Sect, are the most aware of current affairs.
Unlike the other seven demon sects, they did not resist the empire's rule, but instead followed the empire's orders and laws.
Although they will also practice some evil magic arts and refine some sinister magic weapons, they will not kill the people of the empire on a large scale.
Even if you do this kind of thing, it will be extremely hidden and will not be discovered by others.
Even if they are discovered, the corresponding people will be responsible. As long as the disciples who harm the empire are handed over, the Daxia Empire will still choose to forgive them.
After all, the value of ordinary people is limited, and the Purgatory Sect is very strong. When the bottom line is not touched, everyone can still get along well with each other.
At this moment, in a large mountain col of the Purgatory Sect, the place was filled with black mist, and there were some strange liquids and some wandering green hairsprings everywhere.
In a stone door secret room, thirty large cauldrons were arranged neatly and orderly on the ground.
There are a lot of strange liquids in these large cauldrons, and there is also a strange energy that swims around inside like living creatures.
There is one person in all thirty cauldrons, but it seems that these people are not in good condition.
Some people were obviously dead, while others kept howling, and some even went crazy, scratching their bodies constantly. All the pieces of flesh and blood were unknowingly scratched off, and some people's faces had already been scratched. changed beyond recognition.
In one of the big cauldrons, Shi Qingxuan was sitting upright, gritting her teeth and holding on. It was obvious that she was suffering great pain.
Today, she should be called You Tuxian.
I don’t know how long it took, but the people in the cauldron died one by one.
Until the end, only You Tuxian and another handsome-looking man were left.
They were inside the cauldron, and the strange liquid and energy had almost completely disappeared. It seemed that they had been absorbed by them.
At this time, a figure in the distance slowly approached. The man grinned widely and said with a crazy smile: "Hahaha... You are indeed my two most valued disciples. I didn't expect that you both survived successfully."
"How's it going? Did you feel something?"
