Chapter 42: The Great Elder
After hearing the words of the five elders, the Shen family patriarch stopped the whip that was about to be swung. Although the other party is only a fifth elder, but in this situation, the Scattered Cultivation Yuanzun is completely looking forward to the five elders. If the incident that was just suppressed is provoked again, it is estimated that it will be impossible even if they suppress it. It was precisely because of this thought that the Shen family patriarch suppressed the anger in his heart, in order to be able to give the scattered cultivators a face, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Hehe, the face of the five elders, Shen naturally wants to give it. However, the Fifth Elder should also know that these two people have caused disruption to our Immortal Palace Elder Guild, and they have also damaged several Yuan Zun Elders. For such a felony, I can not whip them, but you must know that the two of them have committed capital crimes, so they must be executed," only to hear the Shen family patriarch say.
However, at the same time, another voice came, which made the Shen family patriarch stunned at this time. He was none other than the Great Elder of the Immortal Palace, Zhou Li, the disciple of the Old Man Yun. This Zhou Li was originally in the Phantom Cloud Secret Realm to help the old man Yun heal, but later the palace master saw that it was almost over, so he asked Zhou Li to come out to see how the fairy palace conference was held, but as soon as Zhou Li walked into the fairy palace hall, he saw a scene that surprised him. A few people stood on the side with Wang Xiu and the others, and the Shen family patriarch actually took out the long whip of the Immortal Palace whipping disciples. This was something that had never been done before, so the Great Elder shouted as the two of them were talking, and then appeared in front of everyone.
"Subordinates, see the Great Elder!" I saw that both the disciples of the Immortal Palace Family and the Scattered Cultivator Elders saluted to the Great Elder and said. And because Luo Tian and the village chief were tied up, they couldn't stand up and salute, they could only say it, but they couldn't salute. Although Zhou Li didn't like Luo Tian very much, it was because Luo Tian let the master worry too much. It is precisely because of this that Old Man Yun will have a situation this time. But then again, Luo Tian was also a monk vigorously cultivated by the Immortal Palace, so how could he just let the Shen family patriarch kill him.
"Patriarch Shen, what the hell is going on. The palace master and I have entrusted you to preside over a small meeting of the Immortal Palace, how could so many situations happen. What are you doing with the whip, and why are you holding Wang Xiu and the others in custody. Also, what's going on, what happened to Luo Tian and this disciple, they were so whipped to death, don't you have any mercy at all?"
"Well, this, the Great Elder doesn't know anything, just now, a big event happened here, it can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Originally, we wanted to discuss the destruction of the Immortal Palace Array, but who would have thought that it was because of these two juniors that Daozhì Sanxiu and the family Yuanzun had a big fight. It was because of this that Wang Xiu and several other immortals were forcibly controlled by us. So the reason why Zai Xia is so angry and wants to whip these two juniors is because their fault is too big, and it is simply rare in 10,000 years. Patriarch Shen argued.
"Oh, I see, it's really embarrassing for Patriarch Shen, then why don't you tell us, don't you know that this is the secret realm that leads directly to the Immortal Palace? It seems that not only you, but others also know how to report to the secret realm. And you actually handled this matter privately, and there are no rules. If the palace master knows, will you think that you have forgotten about him as the palace master, and want to rebel against the immortal palace?"
"Great Elder Qiqi, just because the situation was urgent at that time, so his subordinates were in a hurry, and they actually forgot about it. Moreover, I heard that Senior Yun was healing, so the junior was afraid of disturbing Old Man Yun's healing, so he didn't dare to disturb the Great Elder. However, what happened later was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was precisely because of this that things developed to the present. At this time, the patriarch of the Lu family stepped forward and reported.
In this Immortal Palace Elders' Council, if it is said that in addition to the palace master, it must be the strength of this week. It can be said that he relied on his own strength to become the Great Elder of the Immortal Palace step by step. Although the palace lord has a higher prestige than him, Zhou Li's strength should not be underestimated. It was precisely because of this that as soon as the Great Elder appeared, he directly suppressed the scene. It was really because Zhou Li had this strength that he became the Great Elder. Others, including the patriarchs of the three major families, did not have the strength to suppress many Yuanzun immortals.
"Oh, I see, but I want to say that without the order of the palace master, you have this long whip privately, and it is not in accordance with the rules. As for the infighting among the many elders, this is another matter. And the matter of destroying the Great Array is the third thing. There is also the fact that you don't report it, and such a big incident has occurred in the fairy palace, which is also a thing. So to sum it up, it's a few things. Let's make it clear one by one, so as not to be confused. "Just listen to what Great Elder Zhou Li said.
Hearing Zhou Li's words, some family monks and scattered cultivators felt a little weak. After all, this time it was the two sides that had a stalemate, so what happened later. In any case, according to Zhou Li's words, everyone will be charged with some crimes. For a minor monk like Luo Tian, it was not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of those Yuanzun immortals. But even if these Yuan Zun made even the slightest mistake, it would be as uncomfortable as a great shame. It was precisely because of this that when the Great Elder pointed out everything, the faces of those family patriarchs and Scattered Cultivator elders were not very good-looking.
Immediately after, Great Elder Zhou Li returned to his position. His position was located closest to the throne of the Palace Lord of Asgard. And the position of the Great Elder is not a futon, but a delicate seat. Not everyone can become the Great Elder of the Immortal Palace, so Zhou Li has the privilege to sit in that position. After settling down, Zhou Li began to look around at the monks who were seated, because their futons had been thrown out at the moment, so they could only sit on the ground.
"Elders of the Immortal Palace, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, but this time the palace master and I did not attend the meeting of elders, you are so undisciplined, are you still worthy of the position of the elder of the Immortal Palace? Almost everyone is involved in the Elders' battle this time, so you all need to be punished so that you can be convinced, or else you will all be dismissed?"
"I, Wait for Yuan, accept the punishment of the Immortal Palace, and ask the Great Elder to forgive us for our dereliction of duty and impulsiveness. After everyone heard Zhou Li's words, they also looked ashamed. They knew that what the Great Elder said was very right, he was in vain as an elder of the Immortal Palace, and he didn't even care about the interests of the Immortal Palace, and he was pinched against the other elders of the Immortal Palace, and they were all hundreds of thousands of years old, so like a mortal, it was really embarrassing.
It is precisely because of this that these Immortal Palace elders are willing to be punished. Of course, they also knew that although they had made mistakes, now that they were punished by many immortals, they knew in their hearts that the Great Elder would not give too heavy a punishment. Everyone speculated that it was estimated that the most they could do was to punish some cultivation resources. As long as it's not too heavy, they will admit it.
"Well, since everyone is so sincere, let's punish it lightly. Although the palace master is not here, this matter is decided by the elders, so each person will deduct a year's resources from the Immortal Palace. Patriarchs, Fifth Elders, what do you think?" Zhou Li asked lightly. Hearing Zhou Li's words, everyone nodded to indicate no objection. It's just a year's worth of money, and most of their resources are not obtained by the Asgard Palace, otherwise they will definitely "starve to death".
"Next, it's this long whip thing. You should know that punishing a disciple requires the use of spirit treasures, and it needs to be approved by the palace master and the Great Elder, and then it will be discussed by the Immortal Palace Elders. But you violated the spirit of Asgard's benevolent treatment, and even took out the long whip to kill these two juniors without permission. "Just listen to Zhou Liyan's words.
After hearing Zhou Li's words, the Shen family patriarch took the lead in walking out. He didn't want to come out, but he said those words in front of hundreds of elders in the Asgard Palace. Therefore, if we want to talk about the responsibility of taking out the long whip without authorization, then the autonomy of the Shen family head is the main responsibility. In addition to the Shen family elders, there were also two other Shen family monks who came out, these two were also Immortal Palace elders, and it was they who carried out the orders of the Shen family patriarch that took out the long whip. However, there is another person who has not come out, and that is the head of the Lu family.
Although the head of the Lu family did not order the whip to be taken out, he did not directly carry it out. But the head of the Lu family is also beating the side drum next to him, so there must be the responsibility of the head of the Lu family. But at this moment, the head of the Lu family did not stand up, because he did not think that he had violated the responsibility of the Immortal Palace. It is precisely because of this that the patriarch of the Lu family has a bit of a fluke attitude.
However, he didn't know that in fact, as early as the moment Luo Tian walked into the Immortal Palace Hall, Zhou Li had already cast a special observation method outside. Originally, he wanted to come directly to the Immortal Palace Hall, but Zhou Li was also very curious about why the Shen family was so keen on a Immortal Palace meeting. When he saw Luo Tian and the village chief walking into the main hall, and then after the words and deeds of the Shen family head and the Lu family head, he knew that these two people hated Luo Tian very much for the village chief. So at this moment, Zhou Li saw that the elder of the Lu family did not appear in the middle of the main hall, so he looked at the place where he was.
"Elder Lu, don't you have anything to say? Elder Ben attaches the most importance to fairness and justice, if any of you want to get away with it, if I find out, it will definitely not be spared. I just listened to Zhou Li's prompt. Hearing Zhou Li's words, the patriarch of the Nalu family hurriedly walked to the center of the main hall like an ant on a hot pot. He knew that he was clever this time, but he was mistaken by being smart, because since the Great Elder had named him like this, he definitely knew something. So he didn't ink himself, so he had to walk out on his own.
"Don't blame the Great Elder, I really remembered who else was involved at this time, and later found that there was no one else, so I walked out. He was indeed involved in this matter, but the mastermind of this matter was Patriarch Shen, if he hadn't seen those two juniors unpleasantly, he wouldn't have been so angry and wanted to kill everyone with a spirit whip. I only heard Patriarch Lu say shamelessly.
Hearing Elder Lu say this, although Luo Tian was guilty at the moment, he almost laughed. How did he know that the patriarch of the Lu family, as the patriarch of a big family in the Immortal Palace, would be so shameless, and even find various reasons to excuse himself after being named, it was really a little shameless. But fortunately, Luo Tian held it back, otherwise he would have laughed out loud. Not only Luo Tian, but also the other monks of the Immortal Palace, they rarely showed embarrassment when they saw Elder Lu, but this time they were so cheeky, they really sighed in their hearts.
"Well, I didn't expect you to shout that you cared about the affairs of Asgard. But I have already found out what happened to Yiqiē, Patriarch Lu and Patriarch Shen, how can you say that they are also the top ten elders of the Immortal Palace, as an example of the elder elders, can't they lead by example. Not only did he ignore the rules of the Immortal Palace, but he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that the palace master was no longer there, so he had to punish the disciples of the Immortal Palace privately. Therefore, the punishment I will give you next will be a little heavy, that is, to remove you from the position of the ten elders of the Asgard Palace. The vacant positions were inherited by eleven and twelve elders. Are you two convinced?" only heard the Great Elder Zhou Li say.
After hearing Zhou Li's decision, everyone was surprised. Because the punishment is simply too severe. The top ten elders of the Asgard Palace, that is the person who will have a lot of weight in the entire Elder Guild to stomp his feet. The Great Elder took advantage of this matter to directly remove the two Ten Elders of the Immortal Palace, which was really a bit unexpected. However, they also knew that the Shen family patriarch and the Lu family patriarch were indeed the loudest shouting, and the Shen family patriarch wanted to directly kill Luo Tian and the others, which rarely appeared in the history of the Immortal Palace. Because the execution of a disciple is first of all to publicize every disciple in the Immortal Palace, and it must go to the specified place, otherwise it is not allowed to be directly disposed of.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Li will make such a big absolute. After all, if the monks of the Immortal Palace can't even implement this rule clearly, then what qualifications do they have to serve as the ten elders of the Immortal Palace. Zhou Li thought so, but the other elders didn't necessarily think so. Especially the elders of the Asgard family, when they saw that Elder Zhou had actually squeezed out the two most prestigious people in the Asgard family from the top ten elders of the Asgard Palace, they all thought that the other party was really a personal vendetta.
"Next, I want to ask everyone how the presbyterian infighting occurred this time, how it was caused, how it was expanded, and how it was resolved. I don't know any of this, so I'll need to hear what you have to say. If this matter is relevant to everyone, then I will punish everyone again. If only the Ten Elders know about it and don't report it, then the Ten Elders will be punished. Zhou Li didn't care what everyone was talking about, so he began to solve the next thing.
Hearing that the Great Elder was so resolute, those monks were also helpless. They could only continue to wait for the Great Elder's punishment. This so-called failure to report the knowledge is generally the responsibility of the ten elders. So Zhou Li realistically asked the ten elders here. Most of them told what happened, that is, although the cause of this incident was because of a few words, but because the Shen family patriarch, the Lu family patriarch and the five elders did not deal with it in time, they led Wang Xiu and others to fight. After Zhou Li judged and asked the opinions of many Immortal Palace Elders, they decided to exclude the Five Elders from the top ten elders as well. But because Patriarch Shen and Patriarch Lu have been removed from the Top Ten Elders, he is no longer punished like this, but replaced by another punishment, that is, a ten-year punishment.
Asgard has always had a rule, that is, if you punish several crimes together, Asgard will leave some mercy. In other words, it is not possible to add up all the guilt, and if that were the case, many monks would definitely be put to death. Of course, the premise is that they have already been punished more severely, and then the punishment will become less severe.
"Great Elder Qiqi, I and Patriarch Shen agree with the punishment of the Council of Elders. But there's one thing, and that's that we feel that there are some things that aren't just right. For example, the first thing is that these two monks are the culprits, and if they hadn't sowed discord, how could we have made a big fuss. Therefore, although the two of us are no longer the top ten elders of the Immortal Palace, we still hope that the elders will be able to punish Luo Tian and Shen Yichang. The patriarch of the Lu family said.
"Well, the construction you mentioned is very good, but what I want to say is that you, as Yuanzun immortals, actually made a big move because of a few words from a few juniors, don't you feel ashamed. Do you get away with it by imposing all the blame on the two friars? Another point is that it shows that your Dao mind is unstable and lacks reason. Such an Immortal Elder is not worthy of being an Elder at all in my opinion. That's why you're going to do it. That's why I don't say a word about the willingness of the two of them. They have their own ideas to propose, but you have caused disruption to the Council of Elders because of this, and you are really humiliating. Zhou Li said.
"Hehe, what the Great Elder said is right, you are just to blame. As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from inside the tunnel deep in the main hall. Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a middle-aged man in white clothes walking out of the tunnel, this person was none other than the Aoki Immortal Palace Palace Master! Seeing the Immortal Palace Palace Master arrive, everyone became upright. Although the palace master of the Asgard Palace does not belong to any family, whether it is a family or a casual cultivator, it is definitely respectful to him, because only he is the most admirable monk in the Asgard Palace at this stage!I1387
