Haoran Sect is a very large force, it has its own business field in the secular world, and at the same time, it also has its own strong interpersonal relationships in the military and political circles.

Many disciples of the Haoran Sect will choose to go out of the sect after they are strong, some of them will open their own sect to become the overlord of one party, and some will enter the military circle to become a general, although these people no longer belong to the Haoran Sect nominally, but they have a close relationship with the Haoran Sect on weekdays, and they have frequent contacts.

This is why some tasks that are inconvenient for the military to meddle in can be sent directly to Haoran Sect.

For more than 1,500 years since the establishment of the Haoran Sect, it has been like a huge tree, and the site of Haotian City is only the surface of it exposed beyond the "surface", but in fact, there are veins extending in all directions under the soil.

However, the strength of Haoran Sect is huge, but it is not bloated, because it knows how to "delegate power", and to maintain such a huge sect power, it cannot be done by relying only on "Yiyantang".

Therefore, the Haoran Sect Master gave up his rights very wisely and issued it to the "Haoran Palace", it can be said that every major decision of the Haoran Sect is not decided by the Sect Master, but voted by the elder group of the Haoran Palace.

Therefore, the old man of Tiandao, the sect leader of Haoran Sect, usually does not stay in the sect, only when there is a serious problem in the sect, and even endangers the life and death of the sect, the sect master will directly "seize power", and use decisive and tough means to quickly cut through the chaos and save the sect from fire and water.

In order to prevent this huge sect from going to the abyss of no recovery because of the paranoia of some minority sects, every time the Haoran Sect passes a major resolution, more than two-thirds of the elders must raise their hands to vote before it can be passed, otherwise it will be considered invalid.

The last time Xiang Nan came to Haoran Palace, it was to divide factions, and at that time he was just standing in the outermost ring of Haoran Palace, and this time, he really entered Haoran Hall "Haoran Hall".

The Hall of Elders is where the Elders regularly adjudicate a resolution, and it is usually composed of five third-generation elders, thirteen fourth-generation elders, and twenty-six fifth-generation elders, for a total of forty-four people.

Of course, this is not to say that there are only five third-generation elders in the Haoran Sect, but only these five people usually serve in the elder group.

But today, some of the third, fourth, and fifth generations of elders who are not part of the elder group have also come.

Xiang Nan stood alone on the "trial seat", and directly opposite him was a row of high-level seats, and those members of the elder group sat on the elder seats ten meters high, and could look at Xiang Nan condescendingly.

At this time, many members of the elder group were talking to each other in whispers.

Shi Beihong is a peak-level powerhouse of the Half-Saint Triple Sect, and he is also a third-generation elder, and also the head of the Elder Group, this person is mainly responsible for managing the daily affairs of the sect, whether it is receiving other sects or official envoys, or sending envoys to other continents, he has him as the supreme leader.

When Xiang Nan divided the faction, the old man who was responsible for promoting the purpose of the sect was him.

"Xiang Nan. At this time, Shi Beihong fell lightly from the elder's seat and walked in front of Xiang Nan step by step.

"Xiang Nan paid a visit to Elder Shi. Xiang Nan bowed respectfully.

Shi Beihong nodded and said, "What I want to ask you next, the stakes are very high, you must think about it and answer, and you must seek truth from facts." ”

"Xiang Nan obeys the will of the elders. "Xiang Nandao.

Shi Beihong said: "You and the Heavenly Demon Sect, whether you have anything to do with it, you must know that the impact of this matter is very bad, and soon, someone from the direction of Haojing will come to our sect to investigate this matter." ”

This is not a joke, Haoran Sect is the first sect in the Canglan Continent, if even this sect comes together with the Heavenly Demon Sect, then how bad the result will be, you can imagine.

"Nothing to do with it. Xiang Nan replied with an oath.

"There is no connection?" At the back of the elder seat, an elder stood up and shouted loudly: "There is no connection, the Heavenly Demon Church came to Haotian City with great fanfare, and brought so many dowries?

At this time, Shi Beihong gave Xiang Nan a relieved look and said gently: "Although you tell the truth, don't be afraid." ”

"As long as you don't lie, even if there is a big trouble, Haoran Sect will stand behind you and support you. ”

Xiang Nan nodded gratefully to Elder Shi Beihong, and said, "It really has nothing to do with it, their coming this time, as far as I am concerned, is nothing more than a personal relationship between men and women, as for whether they have other purposes, Xiang Nan is not clear." ”

Shi Beihong said: "How did the relationship between you and the demon girl of the Heavenly Demon Sect come about, let me say it slowly. ”

Xiang Nan didn't dare to hide it, so he truthfully reported how he took over the task, how he mistook the demon girl for a child, how he saved her, and how she brought herself back to Haoran Sect.

"All the members of the Elder Body have heard what happened. Shi Beihong nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the elder seat and said, "I don't know what you think." ”

A member of the elder group stood up and said, "I suggest that Xiang Nan be expelled from the sect, and he will no longer be a disciple of my Haoran Sect from now on. ”

"Why?" asked Shi Beihong with a smile.

The elder said, "Even if what Xiang Nan said is true, this time he has brought an extremely bad impact to the sect, which will damage the reputation of our Haoran Sect. ”

Shi Beihong said with a smile: "My Haoran Sect has never been afraid of damaging its reputation, if every time this kind of thing happens, we have to give up a disciple of the sect, then my Haoran Sect will not be able to stand for fifteen hundred years without falling." ”

Another elder stood up and said, "I also agree to expel Xiang Nan, he can endure the bewitchment of the demon girl today, and there is no guarantee that he will not turn around and join the cult tomorrow." ”

Shi Beihong said with a smile: "You and I have no right to judge what will happen in the future, and we can't ruin a disciple's future because of an idea." ”

Another elder stood up and said, "But we can't know what Xiang Nan said, whether he is hiding anything, maybe the truth is not as simple as he said." ”

At this time, the Sun Peak Lord, Xu Caiyue, who did not belong to the Elder Group, stepped forward and said, "What Xiang Nan said is true, and I am willing to use my personality to vouch for him." ”

The elder sighed, "Caiyue, you're too protective of calves. ”

Xu Caiyue was neither humble nor arrogant: "If I don't believe Xiang Nan, I won't accept him as an apprentice, and since I am his master, I naturally have to speak for him." ”

"We can't convict Xiang Nan based on just speculation, if that's the case, if one day the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly shows favor to all the elders of the Haoran Sect, then wouldn't my Haoran Sect be about to collapse?"

"You?" the elder glared angrily, he pointed at Xu Caiyue and said, "Haoran Hall, how can you be so disrespectful!"

"Caiyue's words are true, where is it not respected?" Xu Caiyue asked sharply: "Could it be that my Haoran Hall can't tolerate a word of truth." ”
