Chapter 242: Pity for the Elderly
A man with red lips and white teeth, a white face and beardless beard, dressed as a Confucian scholar, followed the voice. This is the third elder who has never appeared in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, his name is Gu Liansheng.
"Great Elder, elders, according to the rules of the sect, it is necessary to obtain the consent of half of the elders to invite Elder Keqing, and now without the resolution of the Elder Group, how can the position of Elder Keqing be given away so easily?"
The ten elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, except for the four elders who stayed in the sect, Gu Liansheng took the remaining five elders to go out to hunt sea beasts, and now they just returned with a full load.
He gained a lot from this trip, not only harvesting a bunch of sea beasts, but also unexpectedly finding a inheritance cave. He had taken advantage of the excitement to return and was going to show off to several elders, and by the way, he asked the sect for help.
As soon as Gu Liansheng landed on the island, he left the rest of the people to deal with the harvest of the trip and rushed to the meeting hall alone. The invitation was secondary, and he was mainly trying to ask for help.
The cave he found was very hidden, and there was a large array of protection. The Great Protective Array was extremely amazing, and they only tried to attack, but their attack was rebounded by the Great Array, and one of the elders was seriously injured as a result. It took a great deal of money to barely recover.
The few people who went with him had no way to take the big array outside the cave. Gu Liansheng had to leave two elders to guard the cave mansion, and take the rest of the people to send back the harvest of this trip first.
Unexpectedly, before he entered the meeting hall, he heard that the Great Elder was going to give away the position of Elder Keqing. Gu Liansheng's joy just now disappeared, and from afar, he began to object.
There are not many positions for Elder Keqing, only three. Only those who have made great contributions to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect have the potential to become Elders of the Hakka Sect.
Each additional Elder Keqing meant that the sect would have to lose at least one-tenth of its resources every year. The position of this guest elder is a means to win over the strong.
But Gu Liansheng didn't sense the aura of a strong man in the council hall, he was also a strong man at the peak realm of demon generals, and he was born with a sensitive sense. Even if it is beyond a large realm, he can sense it. That's why he stopped it loudly.
Although he was already in the same faction as the Great Elder Chang Kaishan, when it came to the distribution of everyone's interests, Gu Liansheng still did not hesitate to stand up and oppose it.
He can stand up against it, and he also has confidence. Gu Liansheng's identity is not just as simple as an elder of the sect. He is also the only son of the previous sect master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
The Great Elder Chang Kaishan, the Fifth Elder Shao Wuchang, and the Eighth Elder and the Ninth Elder who were not here, were all descendants of the previous generation of sect masters.
As the son of the previous generation of sect masters, Gu Liansheng has great hopes of being able to take over as the sect master, his qualifications are not low, and with so much help, it stands to reason that it is logical to take over as the sect master.
It's just that Xiao Yat was really amazing at the beginning. Whether it is qualifications, understanding, diligence, endurance, and the ability to dominate and manage, the disciples of the same generation are far behind.
When it came time to choose a successor, he showed great strength. The other candidates have no room for resistance in his hands.
Gu Liansheng is more than a step away from Xiao Yilai. He also has a self-aware reputation, and Xiao Yi is indeed more suitable to stay in the position of the sect master than him. He automatically relinquished his position as suzerain.
Losing the opportunity to succeed to the position of sect master, Gu Liansheng did not gain nothing. First of all, he was compensated with a lot of resources, and he was able to sit in the position of elder.
The most important thing is that the previous generation of Ten Thousand Demon Sect Sect Masters won him a talisman, as long as he didn't do anything unfavorable to the sect, no one was allowed to harm him. At that time, everyone, including Xiao Yat, had sworn an oath.
Every hundred years, all the elders will go through a competition and re-rank. The elders at the bottom of the queue also need to be challenged by the candidate elders. If you are defeated, you will lose your position as an elder and lose all the benefits that an elder should have.
Gu Liansheng was an exception, because he took the initiative to let go of the position of the sect master, and he was no longer allowed to covet the position of the sect master. Therefore he does not have to participate in the contest between the elders, and his position as elder will never change unless he dies.
Chang Kaishan naturally wouldn't treat Gu Liansheng as an ordinary elder, the previous generation of sect masters was very good to him and trusted him very much. Before he died, he also showed his intention of being lonely in front of him.
Gu Liansheng didn't find out the situation, so he openly opposed his decision, and Chang Kaishan was a little displeased. However, he didn't show it, he just stood up and responded: "It turns out that the third elder is back, is this trip going well, and what is the harvest?"
"Now is not the time for the Great Elder to talk about this, what is going on with this Elder Keqing, can you tell me first?" Gu Liansheng sensed that something was wrong.
The Second Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder didn't say anything. Depending on the situation, they had already reached an agreement on inviting Elder Keqing.
What was the situation, when did the elders become so harmonious? Before he left, the elders were still very reluctant to pinch each other, how could they go out, and the day seemed to have changed?
At this time, Gu Liansheng no longer objected to inviting Elder Keqing, he just wanted to understand the reason. Among the top ten elders, except for the four elders in front of him, his cultivation is the highest, and his status is not low, so he is qualified to know the details.
"This is Zhao Yi and Zhao Daoyou, that is, the Elder Keqing that we unanimously agreed to invite, the Third Elder, you can also get to know each other!" Chang Kaishan did not explain, but introduced Zhao Yi to Gu Liansheng first.
Gu Liansheng looked at Zhao Yi carefully, and on the surface, Zhao Yi's cultivation was not much different from him. If it was before, with this cultivation alone, Zhao Yi could barely become the guest elder of the sect. After all, Zhao Yi looks very young.
But now there are four more Demon Shuai Realm elders in the sect, and he is also within walking distance of breaking through. And Sect Master Xiao Yi's retreat this time has a hope of breaking through to the realm of the Demon King.
Zhao Yi relied on this cultivation alone, and if he wanted to become the sect master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, he was still a little worse. After all, even if it was him, his annual benefits were far less than one-tenth of the sect's resources. Not to mention that there are other rights.
In Gu Liansheng's eyes, Zhao Yi is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and polite. This made Gu Liansheng feel a little more favorable, such a bearing, he had only seen it in the sect master Xiao Yi.
He was secretly shocked, he actually linked the person in front of him with the sect master Xiao Yi. This Zhao Yi is very extraordinary, no wonder the few elders who stayed behind in the sect did not wait for them to come back, so they sent the position of Elder Keqing out.
"Third Elder, you take a look at the things in here first, these things were provided to the sect by Zhao Yi. Let's see, are these things worthy of the position of an elder of the guest qing?" Chang Kaishan handed a ring into Gu Liansheng's hand, and then stayed aside for a long time.
This ring is Chang Kaishan's space ring, and after he got the Demon Emperor Ring, he emptied his space ring and transferred the materials in the Demon Emperor Ring.
The Demon Emperor Ring needs to be handed over to Xiao Yi, but the materials inside are the best to use. He originally planned to transfer these materials to He Jubao today. This will be taken out just enough to dispel Gu Liansheng's doubts.
What is this?Gu Liansheng was a little puzzled when he took the ring, but then he was full of shock: "This is a level 7 material blood coagulation, this is a level 8 material Soul Breaking Grass, and this is a level 9 material ......" (To be continued.) )
