Chapter 33: Defection
It was Bai Su who said this.
When he heard Bai Zhenguo say that there was no one in charge of the Phoenix Jade Que before, Bai Su was already angry, and when he saw that he directly handed over the Phoenix Jade Que to Bai Yan, he naturally couldn't help but stop it.
"That's right!" When the disciples of the Ming Po Military Division heard this, they all echoed loudly, obviously the division had already greeted them.
The people of the other divisions of the Phoenix Sect looked at each other.
In addition to anger and hatred in their eyes, they were more overwhelmed by what to do before the family members on the altar could speak.
Bai Su glanced around, and suddenly chuckled in his heart - he faintly sensed that something was wrong.
"Bai Suxian's nephew seems to have other opinions?" Bai Zhenguo looked at him with a smile, and there was no accusation in his words, but a tacit attitude.
This made Bai Su breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the other sects did not want to see Bai Yan return to the Bai family to take charge of the Phoenix Jade Que.
He straightened his body and said, "That's right, the Phoenix Jade Que is related to the rise and fall of the Phoenix Sect, and it is up to us the Phoenix Sect to choose the Spirit Masters, and this has been the case for thousands of years."
I don't think a few sect elders will watch some people with ulterior motives break this rule, right?"
Bai Zhenguo's expression did not change, he stroked his beard with a smile, and then looked at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan smiled with his eyebrows raised, his eyes rolled, and he nodded and said, "Bai Su is right, whoever chooses to be the leader of the Phoenix Jade Que should indeed respect the wishes of everyone in the Phoenix Sect. ”
At this time, even Bai Ming couldn't help frowning.
Bai Su glanced at him, obviously not expecting Bai Yan to follow their wishes so easily.
If it weren't for the intentional concession, then she would probably have buried a powerful trick a long time ago.
What could it be?
Bai Su glanced at the other divisions of the Phoenix Sect without a trace.
As a result, this saw that his heart was even more uneasy.
"These guys don't even speak, are they ......?"
Bai Su was startled in his heart, as if he realized something, but his thoughts were quickly interrupted by Bai Zhenguo's words.
The latter said, "Since this is the case, then please ask the priests of the Phoenix Sect to share their opinions." ”
On the altar in the middle of the lake, except for Bai Ming, Bai Su and the head of the vassal Ming Po Military Division, the other people in power were silent.
But their eyes were all swirling over the people around them, obviously measuring something.
Bai Su was a little breathless, and glanced at the person beside him.
This person's name is Bai Yao, and he is the ruler of Minglu Cunyuque.
He was in his early forties, short in stature, and looked a bit of a philistine and cunning.
In fact, he was originally a person from Minglu Cunsi.
After the battle of Maple Leaf Forest, the elite system of the entire Phoenix Sect collapsed, causing the various divisions within the sect to collapse rapidly, not only the Phoenix Sect had no leader, but even the divisions were in chaos.
And this Bai Yao himself is just a very partial disciple of Minglu Cunsi, but because of this matter, he fished in troubled waters and reaped a lot of benefits.
At that time, the various forces in the Phoenix Sect were changing every day, and he was a smart man, and finally led his clansmen and Yuque to join the already up-and-coming Bai Ming, becoming one of the latter's few cronies.
Seeing Bai Su's handover look, Bai Yao couldn't have understood.
Naturally, he also saw the abnormal reactions of several other divisions, but at this time, he had to bite the bullet.
He first hugged his fists at several sect elders, and then said to the disciples of the Phoenix Sect: "The sect elder is very important in a sect, and he has been a capable person since ancient times.
I think back then, under the leadership of Tianji Gong, my sect was so beautiful to eliminate evil. However, later encountered the battle of the Maple Leaf Forest, Tianji Gong died, and my sect had to recuperate quietly under the death of the elite and the leaderless dragons.
This matter was all started by Bai Shu, the original leader and the priest of the Ming greedy wolf. Regardless of whether he defected to the Bai family back then, it has become a fact that the Phoenix Sect has been harmed because of his fault.
In the past twenty years, everyone must know very well what the situation of the Phoenix Sect is. If we still do nothing, I'm afraid that my Phoenix Sect will eventually become a mess, and there will be no glory to speak of.
And the Ming Po Military Division, under the leadership of Priest Bai Ming, seems to be the one who holds the bull's ear of the Seven Divisions of the Phoenix Sect. If he is in charge of the Phoenix Sect, it may be an opportunity for the Phoenix Sect to get out of the trough. ”
Bai Su listened while observing the expressions of the others, and nodded with satisfaction.
Bai Yao's words were just right, and he didn't believe that the other divisions didn't react.
Sure enough, when the disciples of the Phoenix Sect heard this, they couldn't help but show a little sadness and resentment.
This is a good time to strike while the iron is hot.
He glanced in the direction of Bai Ming, and already had a plan in his heart, this kid has always been the head of Bai Ming's horse, and he will definitely say something at this time.
As soon as Bai Yao's words fell, Bai Yi really took a few steps, hugged his fists towards everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Priest Bai Ming has not only cultivated to a high level, but his management ability over the years is also obvious to you. I think he is more suitable for the elder of the Phoenix Sect. ”
Bai Su smiled in his heart, and was about to add a few words of oil and vinegar, but he heard a burst of sneer from the Phoenix Sect team.
Someone said: "This is wrong, Bai Ming's priest's ability is really good, but after all, it is only to deal with the affairs of one division, if you let go of one case, I am afraid that it will not be enough."
I think it is very suitable for Miss Yan to be the elder of my sect. At least she's not biased against any of them, you say, isn't she?"
It was Bai Xu, the priest of the Ming Wu Qu Division, who had always been at odds with the Ming Po Military Division, and Bai Su didn't worry too much.
However, what he didn't expect was that people from other divisions also echoed one after another.
This made the uneasiness in his heart flood again.
"That's right, I also think Miss Yan is more suitable. ”
"I support Miss Yan!"
"I also support Miss Yan!"
As if receiving a certain signal, the people in power of the Phoenix Sect on the altar expressed their positions one after another.
The number of people is so large that it accounts for most of the seven divisions.
Most of the other Phoenix Sect disciples were a little overwhelmed, even if they didn't have a good impression of Bai Yan, but at this time, they didn't dare to openly oppose it, so they had to be silent for the time being.
Bai Yao was so shrewd, although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, he was not as flustered as Bai Su, and he quickly sorted out his thoughts.
He whispered to Bai Su: "I'm afraid these guys on the stage have been bought by that girl." But ordinary disciples didn't, they were the biggest victims of the battle of Maple Leaf Forest that year. I think if you want to beat Bai Yan, this is the breakthrough. ”
Bai Su's eyes rolled, and when he thought that this was indeed the case, his heart suddenly settled down a lot.
He quietly glanced at the people of the Ming Po Military Division.
One of them will understand, and he will incite a few words.
Bai Yan suddenly spoke at this time: "Everyone, I very much agree with what His Excellency Bai Yao said just now. Whether it is the Bai family or the Phoenix Sect, the concept we believe in is covered in a word, but it is only the four words 'the capable live in it'.
Besides, everyone is a family, and the noise is hurtful and angry. It's better to ask the five sect elders to be a witness today, whoever can stimulate the spiritual power of the Phoenix Jade Que to the greatest extent, who will be the first leader of the Phoenix Sect, how about it?"
At this moment, not only the people of the Phoenix Sect were talking about it, but even the people of the other sects couldn't help but turn their heads to each other.
On the guest seat, Fang Ling raised his willow eyebrows and laughed in a low voice: "This woman has no fear, I'm afraid she will have to make a big move." It is strange to say that it is not easy for her to leave the Bai family for twenty years, and she can still bring together the authorities of several other divisions. ”
Fang Jin shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "Although these Bai family members are not mercenary, they must be on her side because Bai Yan has given them some benefits." ”
Fang Xun also nodded and said, "The third brother is right, this Bai Yan must have made a lot of small moves in secret. If she has an internal response in the Bai family and chips in her hand, it is not impossible to quietly win over others.
As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, and if it doesn't work, Bai Ming's original accumulated advantages have long been unconsciously disintegrated by this woman. ”
And everyone on the Huxin platform didn't expect Bai Yan to say this, but seeing that she was so confident, several people with a heart couldn't help but be a little shocked in their hearts.
Bai Su secretly scolded: "What the hell is this woman doing?"
Bai Yao shook his head and lowered his voice: "It doesn't mean that she wants to let the Phoenix Jade Que out, could it be that her cultivation has already ...... In short, we have to be careful. ”
Bai Ming's cold expression remained unchanged, just silent, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
However, if you look closely, others can read a bit of sharpness in his eyes.
Bai Zhenguo squinted his eyes and glanced at the brocade box in his hand, nodded and said, "Then please ask everyone who is interested to come forward and give it a try." ”
After saying that, he turned around and put the phoenix jade back on the sacrificial table.
Bai Yan smiled, raised his hand towards Bai Ming, and motioned for him to go over first.
Bai Ming looked at her coldly but didn't move.
Bai Yan sneered and said, "Why, you kid still talks about gentlemanly demeanor, ladies first?" Hehe, don't regret it later...... As long as I make a move, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to make a move again. ”
With that, she ignored him and walked slowly towards the brocade box.
She stood still at the altar table, took a deep breath, calmed the agitation she had been suppressing, and then gently opened the brocade box.
The phoenix jade que lay quietly inside, and there seemed to be a flash of light on the clear jade body.
And in that light, a phoenix and a phoenix were connected end to end, both of them were only the size of thumbs, but even every trace of feathers was clearly visible, as if they were about to come out of the jade gate in the next moment.
"It's finally time for this day...... Bai Yan stared at it, his heart was unexpectedly calm, and he said slowly, "Let's start." ”
She closed her eyes and concentrated, and the slender index and middle fingers of her right hand were slightly together, gently pressing against the jade que.
The phoenix spirit in the jade que seemed to sense her breath, and faintly let out a long phoenix roar.
The crowd couldn't help but change color.
This jade que has already resonated before it has been used, and it seems that it has a high degree of compatibility with Bai Yan's spiritual power.
Before everyone came back to their senses, Bai Yan's left hand had already quickly pinched a trick, and then his lips opened lightly, and he whispered something.
Before she could finish speaking, her subordinate Phoenix Yuque suddenly burst into bursts of dazzling red light.
At the same time, countless spiritual powers surged from all directions, gathering frantically towards the jade gate!
