The eight elders spoke one after another, Zhou Yuanzheng nodded, and said, "All the elders and Elder Li who went to the mine have expressed their attitudes, and what you said is also from the position of my Xuanfu Sect, all to maintain the majesty of our sect, which is very good." Since everyone agrees, then my sect will give him an attitude: support the Cang Beast Palace to monopolize the West City. For other details, you may reply after consultation. ”

"Yes!" the elders replied in unison.

Tianyang Zhenren said again: "Next, we will discuss the matter of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, you can speak freely, don't have any worries." This was obviously to appease the dissidents, and after saying that, he glanced at Ge Shuteng.

Ge Shuteng understood, and said aloud to the people standing on both sides: "Each hall executive retreats in advance, and Li Zhen of Wenfeng Hall will be asked." ”

"Yes. The deacons who stood on either side of the congregation withdrew from the main hall.

Next, Li Zhenzhi will talk about the recent situation of Wanjianmen in advance. Brother Shuteng said.

"Sect Master, Elders, news has just come from the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, and the head of the sect, Qiang Xian, is noncommittal about the great changes in Anping City, and has not expressed his position, but he has a lot of complaints about the matter of the sect master's ascension. Elder Li has also sent a letter from the sect master to Qiang Xian, and the letter should be on the way. ”

After that, Li Zhen peeked at the big chair in the middle, and seeing that there was no reaction, he continued: "According to the news that I heard from the disciples of the Wind Hall, Qiang Xian will not fall to my sect, and may remain neutral for now. In addition, there are two latest messages: First, Tongzhou Commercial Bank has sent people to Wanjianmen, which seems to have the intention of wooing. The second is that Sima Ling'er has also fled to Wanjian Island. ”

Tianyang Zhenren nodded, and Li Zhen, the deacon of Wenfeng Hall, bowed and withdrew from the main hall.

"Hmph, Tongzhou Commercial Bank first sat on the wall and watched, and then secretly started to do something that was not visible. The Darkroom Elder snorted coldly to Jun.

The elders were dumbfounded, what you did in the darkroom was all shady things, but now you said that Tongzhou Commercial Bank was shady in doing things, which was quite funny.

"Sima Ling'er's escape to Wanjianmen is expected, that girl is not a problem, let's not kill them all. Fu Fang Elder Du Qingquan said again.

Tianyang Zhenren raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

"Others may eventually support the sect master, but that girl will definitely not, and Uncle Sima and nephews will become a problem for my sect sooner or later. Ge Shuteng has always been observing the changes in Zhou Yuan's positive color, and at this time, he knew it in his heart, so he spoke out at the right time.

"The Sima clan will discuss it after a while. Zhou Yuanzheng waved his hand. He would not tolerate the descendants of the Sima clan staying in the world, but he did not want to tell the truth, so it was inconvenient to discuss the matter in front of the public.

"What the sect master said is that the Sima clan is not worried. But the power of Tongzhou Commercial Bank is already large, and it doesn't hurt to have one more Wanjianmen. It's just that at present, among the four major factions in Anping City, the power of our sect is not superior, and the Cang Beast Palace has a faint tendency to come from behind. In the past, the strength of our sect and the Three Holy Sects was equal, but now it is slightly inferior, and the situation is not optimistic. Elder Hu Chengjun continued to speak.

"Although our sect and the Three Holy Sects are allies, they must not be the only ones who look to each other, if that is the case, it will not be a situation where the four strong will stand side by side, but two strong and two weak. Moreover, the proven veins of our sect have to be divided equally with the Three Holy Sects, and the opportunity and advantage have been lost, if our sect does not plan early, the future is worrying. Therefore, my advice is to try to maintain a friendly posture with the various factions, and the same is true for the Ten Thousand Swords Gate. "He said a lot and his attitude was clear.

Tianyang Zhenren's face was a little gloomy. In these cases, he understood that the equal sharing of the new veins with the Three Holy Sects had been negotiated before, and it was a prerequisite for obtaining the full help of the Three Holy Sects, and it was also something he personally agreed.

But what Hu Chengjun said is not unreasonable, if it goes on like this, the Xuanfu Sect will not have any advantages at all, so it will really be one of the two weaknesses.

Tianyang Zhenren was a little irritated in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he asked again, "What is the good plan of the elders?"

"Sect Master, my sect is too anxious for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to be forced, and it should be shown to be good, otherwise which sect the strong strings fall to, our sect is very passive. What we want to see is just that the Ten Thousand Swords Gate remains in the middle of the moment. Also, Sima Ling'er couldn't move for the time being, to show the sect master's mind, which was equivalent to giving face to Wanjianmen. "The new Elder of the Duzhi Branch, Kong Shuangcheng Dao.

The rest of the elders nodded and did not speak, as if in support of the suggestion.

However, the elder of the dark room said to Jun: "If the strong strings are stubborn, please ask the sect master to make a decision as soon as possible." "He is not afraid of chaos, and the more chaotic the darkroom, the more important it can be highlighted.

The opinions of the elders are nothing more than two kinds, one is to exert pressure, and even the elders of the dark room mean that they will carry out a beheading operation without obeying the order, so that he will disappear forever. Another opinion is to repair or stabilize the Wanjian Gate first, so as to balance the situation.

Tianyang Zhenren was inclined to the second opinion, after all, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had an alliance with the Xuanfu Sect before, and it was very inappropriate for him to meet each other as soon as he ascended to the throne. But he was unwilling to let go of the Sima family, so it was difficult to make a decision, and he was silent.

The situation in Anping City a few days ago was unstable, and he had just ascended to the throne, and it was not easy to make enemies, so he should focus on appeasing people's hearts and stabilizing the situation, so he repeatedly emphasized that he should first settle people's hearts and then deal with them.

And he also thinks that the current strength of the Xuanfu Sect has weakened, not to mention the loss of the support of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the loss of interests in Xicheng, and the proven veins have also been divided equally by the Three Holy Sects.

At that time, the position of suzerain, which he has fought so hard for, may not be guaranteed, and a hundred years of hard work will be in vain, so he must be cautious.

"Everyone!" Tianyang Zhenren pressed his hands and said in a deep voice: "The current situation is chaotic, and the situation of the top four in Anping has been formed. Since our sect has recognized the status of the Cang Beast Palace, then the Tongzhou Commercial Bank will definitely have no dissenting intentions, and the Three Holy Sects will eventually recognize it. This is the overall situation, the overall situation has been decided, and people are at ease. The elders should focus on appeasing the hearts of the people in your headquarters and protecting the foundation of our sect. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuanzheng paused, looked at everyone's reactions, and said, "As long as the Ten Thousand Swords Sect does not clearly express its hostility to our sect, then it will be ignored." As for repairing, there's no need for it. You have also heard the message of the Wind Hall just now, as long as the strong string is here, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will not be close to our sect, so I don't have to bother to win him over anymore. ”

"Sect Master Mingjian!" Seeing that Tianyang Zhenren stopped talking again, Ge Shuteng gave up his hand in agreement, and everyone also agreed.

Zhou Yuanzheng waved his hand and said: "It's good that Qiang Xian understands the matter, if you dare to provoke our sect, then you can only handle this matter in the dark room, and then the black armor guard will respond from the middle." ”

"Subordinates understand!" Xiang Jun and Ge Shuteng responded in unison.

"At present, it is imperative to deal with the matter of the new ore vein first, and the sooner this matter is completed, the sooner our sect will be stronger. Only when it is strong, the right to speak will come from itself. This matter was handled jointly by Elder Geshu and Elder Kong. Okay, let's discuss the third matter, the selection of the Dharma Protector Elder and the Transmission Elder. Everyone, let's talk about it. Zhou Yuanzheng said again.

"It's all up to the sect master to decide!" Regarding the appointment and dismissal of the elders in the sect, everyone did not dare to discuss it, the new sect master should have already chosen someone in his heart, and it would be humiliating to say that he was wrong, so he was determined by Zhou Yuanzheng in unison.

"You're welcome. The positions of the two elders of Dharma Protector and Gong Transmission are extremely important, and those who are not in the realm and have advanced qualifications cannot be competent. At present, all those who meet the conditions in the sect are seated here, and no one else can handle this important task except for all of you. The meaning of this seat is that Ge Shu is in charge and concurrently serves as the Dharma Protector Elder, and Xiang Jun is in charge of the Dharma Protector Elder and Xiang Jun is also the Elder of Gong Transmission, do you have any different intentions?"

"I'll do as I was told!" the elders said in unison.

As for Sima Zheng's die-hard subordinates, he hadn't figured out how to deal with them yet, as Zhou Yang guessed, this was the time for the Xuanfu Sect to employ people, and if he could persuade them to obey the order, he would also entrust them with important tasks.

The four elders of the previous Dharma Protector, Gong Chuan, Punishment, and Duzhi were all advanced cultivators, and the sect had cultivated them for many years and spent a lot of resources. And talents are rare, if they are all removed, the strength of the sect will be greatly damaged, and he is not willing.

But if these people are still stubborn, then he will not be polite, and can only kill them painfully, but this matter should not be put on the surface.

The meeting of elders of the Xuanfu Sect basically decided the current situation in Anping City, because the Tongzhou Commercial Bank had already secretly communicated with the Cang Beast Palace, and the Three Holy Sects estimated that they would also acquiesce to the top four, although only the Xuanfu Sect expressed its position, but it also clarified the future direction of Anping City.

The results of this meeting also showed that Sima Ling'er and others were safe for the time being.

But at this time, Sima Ling'er and his entourage were still speeding in the air, and they didn't know what was happening in the city.

They had been flying on the giant eagle for several hours, and the speed of the giant eagle had slowed down, and the spirit beast would be tired. But they didn't dare to stay, there might be a large number of pursuers behind them, and if Li Chengdao came in person, they would inevitably fall into a situation from which they could never recover.

At this time, two giant eagles were flying over a grassland. The grassland was full of thorns and weeds, with only a few low trees, and a few bare mounds of earth surrounded by scattered gravel on which small beasts scurried.

"Miss, we have to speed up, there are a large number of flying demon beasts in this grassland, and it will be troublesome to encounter them. Pu Zheng reminded loudly.

"I understand. Sima Ling'er in front also responded loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she let out a groan, and saw a moving cloud in the air a few miles ahead, flying towards them.

As the distance approached, those dark clouds turned into dense little black dots.

"It's a wolf-headed bird, there are too many of them, let's quickly turn southwest!" Pu Zheng shouted.

Sima Ling'er's face changed, and he hurriedly slapped the giant eagle and turned to fly southwest.

The small black dots were very fast, getting clearer and clearer, and Zhou Yang even saw the bloody mouths of those strange birds.

The wolf-headed bird is not large, with wings only a few feet, but its head is comparable to the head of a small green wolf, but it is more hideous than a green wolf.

This bird is a third-level high-level demon beast, but there are so many of them, there must be one that has evolved to the fourth level.

The wolf-headed birds had apparently spotted two giant eagles and were rapidly surrounding them.
