The first day of the new year soon came, and the general altar of Maitreya in Yangzhou was opened in a grange on the outskirts of the city.

Due to the large number of people gathered, this conference was held in the open air because of this meeting that was related to the life and death of Maitreya.

The high-level of the Maitreya Sect, since the head of the sect Liang Tianyi, has four Dharma protector elders, twenty hall masters, and dozens of incense masters and official sect members, totaling hundreds of people, and it seems that there are many people.

Under the leadership of the sect leader Liang Tianyi, he paid homage to the golden body of Maitreya who was invited.

Today's festival is more solemn than any other festival in the past, and it is the first time that everyone involved has taken it so seriously.

Just because everyone knows that this may be the last time Maitreya worships Maitreya.

After finishing the ceremony, Liang Tianyi turned to look at the four Dharma Protectors and the many hall masters below, and sighed softly.

"Where will the Maitreya Sect go in the future, Liang is thin, and he doesn't know how to decide, so he has to discuss the results with a few elders and everyone today."

Among the four Dharma Protector Elders, Elder Pan was the most loyal and devout to the sect, and he was the first to speak, "Sect Master, what can we say about this, although the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect are powerful, but we have so many elites, how can we not even guard the helm of Yangzhou? After defending it, find another opportunity to fight out, recapture Jinling step by step, and radiate from Jianghuai to all directions!"

The other three Dharma Protector Elders glanced at each other, all of them disapproving, but no one refuted Elder Pan, looking strangely quiet.

However, many incense masters under the hall master talked about it, and one of the incense masters said: "Sect Master, elders, Sect Master Qian was too strict with internal management before, and our sect was already on the verge of life and death.

But the Qian Sect Leader asked us to help the bitter people in various places as much as possible, and also fought with the government, not only failed to get enough money to develop our strength, but also offended the government, causing the government and the other two major sects to deal with us.

The subordinates thought that if the rules of the sect were relaxed, if the big guys could get benefits, they would naturally be willing to work hard for the sect."

When this sentence was spoken, it was immediately recognized by many people, and it seemed that there were quite opinions on the strategy of the former sect leader and the Maitreya sect to help the weak and punish the strong at the bottom.

Liang Tianyi frowned slightly, he had always been a supporter of the previous sect leader, in fact, he was also rescued by the previous sect leader from among the bankrupt poor peasants, so he obtained a new life, and naturally wanted to save more people in the world today.

Before he could speak, someone shouted, "I heard that the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect are both in their respective areas, and they are friendly with the local government and power, and they are willing to squeeze income from the disciples to expand their strength, and they have only developed stronger and stronger over the years, if we had learned from them earlier, why would we be like this."

This sentence made many people fall into contemplation, but Liang Tianyi felt a chill in his heart, he knew that the most terrible thing was not to face external pressure such as the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect, but that the internal people's hearts gradually weakened, and they began to question the teachings of the past.

Liang Tianyi's lips were dry, and he still wanted to open his mouth to persuade everyone, but when he looked down, there was no elder or hall master to support him, and he couldn't help but be a little disheartened.

At this moment, the gate of the manor was kicked open! Shattered to pieces.

"Protector Chen, why don't you please first."

"Hehe, the High Protector doesn't have to be humble, since the door was broken by your White Lotus Sect, it is naturally not good for us to fight with each other in the Smelling Fragrance Sect."

With a long laugh, the High Protector of the White Lotus Sect entered, followed by two hall masters and several formal sect members.

After that, it was the people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect who were equal in number to the White Lotus Sect.

There are only about a dozen people in these two sects, and when they are put into this conference, they are only a fraction of the total number of Maitreya sects.

The High Dharma Protector who broke through the door obviously looked like a bad comer, and said to Liang Tianyi and the four elders, "Everyone, today is the deadline, can this meeting be finalized?"

Elder Pan, who had the most impatient temper in the Maitreya Sect, said with a red face: "What is the final decision, the affairs of this sect, it is the turn of you outsiders to make irresponsible remarks! The revenge of the former sect leader has not been avenged, and you are simply asking for your own death by coming here!"

The White Lotus Sect's High Protector said disdainfully, "Kill yourself? Old thing, these four words are for you

, those who know the times are handsome, I advise you not to be ignorant!"

Seeing the tension in the field and the murderous Ling Ran, Cheng Shiyao, who was invited to come over to the scene to soothe the atmosphere of the two sides, immediately put the piano on the table and began to play a self-composed soothing melody, which was specially used to calm the anger.

As soon as the piano sounded, everyone's eyes looked at it.

Fan Zhuoyuan, who was following Liang Tianyi's side, couldn't help but glance over, although he couldn't see it, he could judge who the player was from the sound of the piano, and frowned slightly.

As soon as the sound of the piano started, before it could stir the emotions of everyone present, Chen Protector of the Smelling Fragrance Sect threw out a flying knife at will!

With a bang, the knife slammed into the piano, cutting off several strings.

"In today's meeting, your sect still has the heart to invite someone to come over and play the piano?" Wen Xiang Sect's Chen Protector shook his head and said disdainfully.

Cheng Shiyao was startled, the strings were broken, and the music naturally couldn't continue to be played, could it be that she wanted to take out the Heavenly Demon Qin?

This piano is not ordinary, and it will not be damaged by ordinary flying knives, but if someone finds something abnormal, her identity that she has hidden for a long time may also be exposed, so she can't help but be entangled.

As official sect members, the Cai couple looked at Cheng Shiyao worriedly, and a Maitreya sect elder shouted, "Spicy mother, who called Qin Niang over on this occasion!"

The Cai couple hurriedly knelt down and walked out, "Elder, this is the adopted daughter of this couple, and I originally wanted to ......

The elder waved his hand, "Don't hurry up and take it down!" What a lot of excitement on this occasion!"

The Cai couple was anxious for a while, but they didn't expect that what they had thought before would come to the actual occasion, but it didn't have any effect.

The senior elder of the White Lotus Sect glanced at Cheng Shiyao, and said with a smile: "This little lady is good-looking, our Yangzhou branch of the White Lotus Sect in the future, there is just one less saint, go back with me tonight, and wait for this seat to train well."

The Maitreya Sect Elder who had just spoken hurriedly smiled and said, "This woman has been favored by the High Dharma Protector, but it is her blessing."

The Cai couple changed color at the same time, but Elder Pan on the side looked suspicious.

"White Protector, what's the matter with you? No matter what, after she is also a member of this sect, how can she be so insulted! You're sitting crooked!"

The White Protector, the elder who had previously curried favor with the White Lotus Sect's High Protector, said disdainfully, "The surname Pan, in our Maitreya Sect, you are missing a root in your brain! Now that the situation is clear, I don't know what it means to be a good bird to choose a tree to perch on, and I and the other two elders have already taken refuge in the White Lotus Sect!"

"No mother, vacuum hometown!"

The other two Maitreya Sect elders, who had not spoken all this time, stood up in unison, looked at Elder Pan with a playful face, and stood behind the White Lotus Sect's High Protector, and turned into a flattering look again.
