The night was dark, but it was illuminated by thousands of torches, and the shadows of the jungle foliage swayed slightly in the firelight. Gu Yu was dressed in a cyan robe, the back hem had been dragged to the ground, and a pair of wings were embroidered with gold thread on his chest, one left and one right all over his chest. He carried a wooden staff in his hand, which gradually thickened from the bottom to the top, only a finger or two wide at the thin point, and was already the thickness of an adult's arm at the top. The staff was covered with many depressions and bumps, as well as worn engravings, and was clearly old.

Not far ahead is the end of the clear water. The stone walls on both sides of the clear water room are inclined at an angle, this is the narrowest place between the stone walls on both sides, and there is a quaint wooden building standing between the gaps, only one floor, but it is nearly ten zhang high, filling the distance between the stone walls. This wooden building is the Dust Wing Temple, which is the foundation of the Wing Clan in the Qingshui Room for a hundred years, and all the ancient books of the clan are preserved here, and the spirit cards of the previous patriarchs are also retained.

On weekdays, only the elders who had been the patriarchs and stewards of the sect were allowed to enter, with the exception of the Council of Elders. This tradition was written in the Wing Clan's books, but it was never practiced. It wasn't until more than two months ago that the Great Elder of the Wing Clan, Mu Tianwei, first questioned the decision of the patriarch Gu Yu, and won the support of most of the elders, requesting that an elder council be convened to unite the elders' forces to impeach the patriarch.

The re-entry of the Wing Clan into the world means the redistribution of the status of the entire ethnic group, which will undoubtedly shake the vested interests of the people at the top of the pyramid in the Wing Clan. Therefore, Gu Yu's idea of wanting the Wing Clan to re-enter the world also offended the group of people with the most prominent status in the Qing Shui Room, including the elders led by Mu Tianwei. Today is the day of the Presbyterian Church, and the Presbyterian Church will be held in the Dust Wing Temple.

At this time, it was only about 20 days since Xiao Qi met Qi Guangheng. Xiao Qi became more and more convinced that this incident was premeditated by Mu Tianwei and Qi Guangheng.

Such a major event, the entire Wing Clan attached great importance to it, and nearly five or six thousand people came to the outside of the Dust Wing Temple, surrounding this place. Even Gu Wanyi, who had always been heartless, looked at the Dust Wing Temple a little anxiously, waiting for the results of the Elders' Meeting. Xiao Qi was not from the Wing Clan, so it was inconvenient to snoop, so he had to be on a tree far away, paying attention to the movements in the Dust Wing Temple, Gu Yu slowly walked into the Dust Wing Temple, followed by several old men, including Qi Guangheng and Mu Tianwei.

Xiao Qi and Gu Yu had no friendship, but Gu Yu's courage to challenge the order made him a little admired, so he was a little curious about Gu Yu's situation. However, the other Wing Clan people didn't seem to think so, Xiao Qi had already noticed that there were several vague lines of sight around him that were paying attention to him, most of them were eyeliner sent by Qi Guangheng, and when Gu Yu stepped off the stage, he would take him down as evidence of Gu Yu's crime. Just like that day, Qi Guangheng's vicious gaze was still in front of him.

These days, he has been learning spearmanship from Zhang Weiheng, Zhang Weiheng's original "Shen Yan Shooting" he has learned, but it is far less skilled than Zhang Sheng, although his skills have made great progress, but if he is besieged by the Yi people, he is still unsure. However, he didn't have the heart to worry about his situation, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Gu Wanyi beside Zhang Sheng not far away, their faces were very solemn, and they must be very worried about Gu Yu's situation. And Luo Xiaoyu didn't see it, maybe he was crowded on the other side of the clearing with the clansmen in Barefoot Alley.

I don't know how long it took, the sky was as dark as splashing ink, Xiao Qi vaguely saw a few people walking out of the Dust Wing Temple on the tree, but he soon found that among these people, there was no Gu Yu, because although the distance was far, the green robe embroidered with gold thread on his chest was very conspicuous. There was an uproar among the onlookers, who chattered about speculation about the Presbyterian Church.

Most of the people of the Wing Clan had good eyesight, and they all found that Gu Yu was not among them, and someone said, "Patriarch Gu didn't come out, did something happen?"

"This Patriarch Gu has been the patriarch for so long, what achievements does he have? I know all day long ago that I have been talking to that human kid, and if you want me to say, it is long overdue for Elder Mu to take the throne!"

There was a lot of gossip among the Wing Clan, most of them young people in their twenties and thirties. Under the deliberate design of Mu Qianwei, Qi Guangheng and others, the vast majority of the Wing Clan, even including the residents of Barefoot Alley, had little understanding of Gu Yu's plan and the goals he sought, but because of his closeness to humans, there was rejection among the Wing Clan, and Gu Yu's prestige as the patriarch also dropped to a low point. Xiao Qi was clear in his heart and ignored it, still looking at the few people who walked out of the Dust Wing Temple.

There were seven or eight people who came out of the Dust Wing Temple, all of them were elders with high prestige in the Wing Clan, and the front was Mu Tianwei, and Qi Guangheng followed behind him. Mu Tianwei's face was radiant, revealing joy, but in his hand was the quaint wooden staff that was originally in Gu Yu's hand. He cleared his throat, calmed his excitement, and gestured to the onlookers to calm down, and then said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Although the thousands of Wing Clan onlookers were noisy, they all watched the dynamics in front of the ancestral hall, so they quickly responded to Mu Tianwei's shout, and gradually quieted down, only to hear Mu Tianwei's voice slowly coming out: "Gu Yu, the thirteenth patriarch of the Qingshui Room, has always been stubborn and extreme, and what he seeks will pose a threat to the entire Qingshui Room. Patriarch Gu confessed his mistakes and had no shame to face your compatriots, so he gave up his position as patriarch and decided to reflect on his sins in front of the statue of Delier Gu all day long, and handed it over to me as the new patriarch!"

These words caused quite a stir among the Wing Clan, but most of them cheered, and many people wantonly insulted Gu Yu as a traitor to the Wing Clan. This is the result of the great elder's painstaking management, and all the elders understand and smile each other.

Xiao Qiwu sneered to himself.

I only heard Mu Tianwei say again: "Old Patriarch Gu was impulsive and stubborn, and now he has decided to abdicate and make way for Xian and live in seclusion in the Dust Wing Temple, we should not be too embarrassed for him." Many of the surrounding Wing Clan people nodded yes, and Gu Wanyi also showed a relaxed expression.

Qi Guangheng behind him suddenly interjected: "The patriarch can't move, but someone still has to be responsible!"

More and more eyes fell on Xiao Qi, and even Gu Wanyi and Zhang Sheng looked over here. Gu Wanyi's face was full of sorrow, and there was a strange color in her gaze at Xiao Qi, she glanced at Zhang Sheng, and then quietly approached.

Mu Tianwei glared at Qi Guangheng, and then said: "But it is precisely because someone has always regarded himself as a guest, confusing the clansmen, and progressively slandering that the old patriarch Gu has gone further and further down the wrong path. This person has evil intentions, and he is really extremely insidious! The ancient god of Delier is above, and this traitor should be punished!"

As soon as his words fell, before the surrounding Wing Clan people could react, Xiao Qi felt the sound of breaking the sky around him. Although he couldn't see it really, Mu Tianwei's voice was loud, and he could hear it well. Xiao Qi knows Gu Yu's stubbornness, what abdication to make Xian is most likely an excuse that Mu Tingwei came up with after controlling Gu Yu, saying that he is progressively slanderous is even more nonsense, Gu Yu's thoughts have been generated long before Xiao Qi fell into the clear water, it is impossible for Mu Tingwei not to know, and even many people of the Wing Clan also know, but Gu Yu used to be the patriarch, to some extent, he represents the face of the Wing Clan, and the Wing Clan is obviously willing to find an excuse for the previous patriarch to listen to slander, Gu Yu is a Wing Clan after all, and Xiao Qi is just an outsider, which is more important, the Wing Clan knows very well.

Xiao Qi quickly thought about the reason for all this, his heart was clear, but his hands were not slow at all, he knew that tonight was dangerous, he was carrying a spear, and at the moment he held the barrel of the gun, jumped up, avoiding the two people who attacked from the side. As soon as he landed, he swept his spear forward, colliding with the opponent's blade. The man had a knife in his hand, and after blocking it, he wanted to bully Xiao Qi's body, but he was steadily blocked by Xiao Qi's spear, the gun was long and the knife was short, Xiao Qi didn't even use "Shen Yan to shoot", so he forced the other party to not advance an inch, and he fell into the wind.

When he jumped up, he still unconsciously looked in Gu Wanyi's direction. I saw that Gu Wanyi was already very close to Xiao Qi's location, she fluttered her wings and flew in the direction of Xiao Qi, but the target was a Wing Clan warrior behind Xiao Qi.

The spear in Gu Wanyi's hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and before the person arrived, the cold man came first. Xiao Qi didn't realize it, the spear was handed over to his right hand, and when Gu Wanyi was about to fly above him, his spear swept away and scared back the enemy in front of him, and then raised the spear and smashed it down from above, but it was towards Gu Wanyi, who was going to come to the rescue.

Gu Wanyi obviously didn't expect Xiao Qi to make a move on herself, so she hurriedly stopped. It's just that although Xiao Qi's blow seemed to be powerful and heavy, it was simple and rude, and there was no change, and Gu Wanyi easily avoided it. She landed on the ground and looked at Xiao Qi in four eyes. Looking at those clear eyes, it seemed to tell something. She gritted her teeth, baring her teeth, but she didn't speak.

At this time, several people around arrived and surrounded Xiao Qi in the middle. Because Xiao Qi avoided suspicion, he was located at the back of the place where the Yi people gathered, most people didn't notice it, and the sky was dark, and the Yi people only knew that Gu Wanyi came out with a gun and made a move with Xiao Qi. And when everyone reacted, Gu Wanyi stood quietly opposite Xiao Qi, as if she was also a member of the encirclement, thinking that she wanted to make meritorious service for her grandfather, and couldn't help but praise Gu Wanyi for being bold and understanding the overall situation.

Xiao Qi stood with a gun, but he didn't seem to be able to see the enemies around him, and looked straight at Gu Wanyi. Gu Wanyi didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Qi like this, and the few people around didn't dare to move.

Qi Guangheng rushed forward and scolded: "Why are you stunned, abolish him!"

"Elder Qi is in such a hurry to kill people, isn't it killing people?"

When Qi Guangheng heard this voice, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glared viciously in the direction from which the voice came.

Mu Tianwei replied: "The thief's crime is clear, dare to ask the old captain, isn't it nonsense to kill people and kill people?"

It was Zhang Weiheng who spoke. He was a little younger and did not participate in the Council of Elders, but when he was young, he was the captain of the guard, and he was unmatched in the Wing Clan, and he lost an arm to save the clan from the mouth of the beast, and his only son now also serves as the captain of the guard, so the father and son have a high prestige in the clan.

"There is something wrong with Patriarch Mu's words, the so-called crime is really reluctant. This Brother Xiao has been learning spearmanship from me these days, and Gu Yu has been reading ancient books in the Dust Wing Temple most of the time, and the two of them have not met a few times, where did the progressive slander come from?"
