Chapter 543: Accidents!
Taiqing Inner Sect, in the main hall.
After Chu Feng and Mu Qiaoxue left, these high-level members of the Taiqing Inner Sect still did not disperse.
"Alas!"
Elder Dongshan sighed continuously, shook his head and sighed.
"Elder Dongshan, why are you sighing?" Dugu asked strangely, "Is it for Li Xiuchuan's one million inferior Xuanshi?"
"No, although this matter is a headache, our Li family's father and son will naturally solve it!" Li Quenian said, "Sect Master, I didn't say you, you just mentioned to Chu Feng that with a mortgage price of 10,000 low-grade Xuanshi, you paid Chu Feng when you received the Wind Thunder Sword Shield, this is too wrong!"
"What's wrong with this? The mortgage price of 10,000 low-grade Xuanshi for each wind and thunder sword shield is just a mortgage, not a purchase price!" Dugu Yin said.
"That's right, however, even if it's the mortgage price, this amount is also very amazing! The first time I received it, it was five hundred wind and thunder sword shields, so we had to deliver five million lower grade Xuanshi to Chu Feng, how could we have such wealth!" Li Quenian said.
"No, in the treasury of our Taiqing Inner Sect, we don't have the wealth of five million lower-grade Xuanshi?" Dugu was faintly surprised, and at the same time glanced at Beishan Elder Guo Bukai.
Beishan Elder Guo Bukai is in charge of the sect's various metaphysical cultivation resources.
"This ...... This ......" Guo Bukai's face was nervous, and he lowered his head and couldn't say anything wrong.
As soon as they saw his strange expression, everyone knew that there must be something strange in this.
With the strength of the Taiqing Inner Sect, a second-grade upper sect, five million lower-grade Xuanshi, it should be said that it can be taken out, and even twenty or thirty million lower-grade Xuanshi can be dealt with.
As for Li Xiuchuan's one million lower-grade Xuanshi, it was his personal debt, and he couldn't take it out himself, which didn't mean that Taiqing Neizong had no wealth.
"Elder Beishan, what's going on?" Dugu asked in a deep voice.
"Alas!" Li Quenian sighed leisurely and said, "Sect Master, so far, I can only tell the truth! Some time ago, Elder Beishan was in urgent need of a large number of powerful meteorite Xuanshi because he wanted to strengthen his Heavenly Rank Secret Weapon Ben Lei Suo, so he went to Daqian Gate to buy a golden egg, and figured out how to smash the golden egg to make a fortune!
But who knows, Elder Guo's bad luck didn't make him any wealth, but instead put a little wealth on hand!
In this way, Elder Guo took a risk again, went to the big money gate to gamble, and bet on his entire net worth!
Who would have thought that Elder Guo's luck was too bad, and this night's gamble had caused him to lose all his money, and even ...... Even in order to pay off his debts, he also advanced the resources in the treasury of the sect!"
"What?" Dugu was taken aback, his face filled with anger.
And these words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making everyone in the hall change color and be stunned.
As an elder in charge of the resources and wealth of the sect, in order to pay off his gambling debts, he actually mortgaged the resources and wealth of the entire sect, which is really ridiculous.
It's incredible!
"Sect Master, I'm ...... I ......" Beishan Elder Guo Bukai looked frightened and ashamed, and immediately fell to his knees, speechless.
"Guo Bukai! You are really a prisoner and a thief! You are bold and reckless! Do you know how much trouble the Taiqing Inner Sect will be in because of your actions! What kind of bad situation it will fall into!" Dugu Yin shouted angrily.
At the same time, he said to Li Quenian, "Elder Li, you already knew about this, why didn't you hide it? Don't you make this matter public earlier, and then you are willing to say it now?"
"Alas!"
Li Quenian sighed, "Originally, I wanted to inform the sect master of this matter as soon as possible, but Elder Guo forced him to die in front of me, and promised that within a certain period of time, all the wealth staked out of the sect's treasury would be filled!"
In addition, there has been a desolate beast calamity in the sect recently, and I am also worried about adding chaos to chaos, so I didn't inform the sect master of this matter first!"
"Alas, Elder Li, you were clever this time, but you were mistaken by being smart! Chu Feng was able to refine the Wind Thunder Sword and Shield, but when we went to receive the goods, we couldn't take out five million lower grade Xuan Stones, so he wouldn't hand over the Wind Thunder Sword and Shield to us, how could this be good?!" Dugu Yin asked urgently.
"This ...... Therefore, the price of 10,000 lower grade Xuanshi that you told Chu Feng before is too high! If it is less, we can make up it together!" Li Quenian said.
"What? Elder Li, do you mean to complain that the price I said is too high, and you don't blame you and Elder Guo for concealing it?" Dugu Yin said angrily.
"No......! Alas!" Li Qiannian sighed, and he had nothing to say.
Elder Beishan did this matter, and he naturally had some responsibilities involved.
"Alas, it's really melancholy! Five million lower-grade Xuanshi, this is not a small amount, we can't make up these Xuanshi, when the time comes, what will the sect use to exchange with Chu Feng for the Wind Thunder Sword and Shield?"
"With Chu Feng's person, we can't take out this mortgaged Xuanshi, we don't want to get the Wind Thunder Sword and Shield in our hands first!"
"This is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave! How is it good? How is it good!"
Many hall masters were so anxious that they rubbed their hands and scratched their ears, and there was nothing they could do.
And Li Quenian and Guo Bukai's hall masters, although it is difficult to say these words publicly, the expressions on their faces are also quite unhappy.
After all, if the sect couldn't get the Wind Thunder Sword and Shield refined by Chu Feng, when the Desolate Beast came to the Taiqing Inner Sect, they would be the first to suffer!
"Okay!" Dugu Yin waved his hand and asked Xishan Elder Huang He, "Elder Xishan, you are the law enforcement elder of the sect, and Beishan Elder Guo Bukai has embezzled the resources in the sect's treasury without permission, causing the sect to suffer a heavy threat, what crime should you be guilty of?"
"If you go back to the sect master, Guo Bukai knows the law and violates the law, and his crime should be punished!" Huang He said loudly.
"Okay! The country has national laws, and the family has family rules! Guo Bukai, today in this council hall, condemn you to death! Can you plead guilty?" Dugu asked sharply.
"I ...... I ......" Guo Bukai exclaimed, "Sect Master, don't! I Guo Bukai confessed my guilt, but I also have indelible merits for the Taiqing Inner Sect, I ask the sect master to open up to me and give me a chance to repent and reform!"
Li Quenian stepped forward and said, "Sect Master, Elder Xishan, Guo Bukai has indeed committed a lot of sin by embezzling the Xuan Cultivation resources in the treasury without permission, but as he said, over the years, he has also made contributions to the sect!"
Kill him now, he will only die, and if he is left alive, he can still find a way to make up for his mistakes and pay off all the resources that have been misappropriated!"
A hall master said, "Elder Li is right! Sect Master, Elder Beishan made a big mistake with a single thought, give him a chance to repent and mend himself, he will definitely find a way to make up for the loopholes in the sect!"
Next, Li Quenian and Guo Bukai, the hall masters of this faction, also spoke one after another, asking for Guo Bukai.
For a time, nearly half of the people in the hall pleaded for Guo Bukai.
And the other half of the people, with angry faces, are all the hall masters of the faction of Dugu Yin and Elder Xishan.
Dugu Yin waved his hand and said, "Guo Bukai, it's not that I don't pay attention to justice, but the mistakes you have made are indeed too great, and the entire Taiqing Inner Sect has fallen into a huge crisis! Today, if I exonerate you from responsibility, the law of the sect will be abolished from now on!"
"That's good!" Elder Xishan nodded, "If even Guo Bukai's mistakes can be pardoned, what kind of crimes can't be pardoned?
"What the sect master said is very true! Among the sects, the elders break the law and are guilty of the same crime as the disciples! What's more, the elder Beishan is for his own selfishness, knowing the law and breaking the law!"
"That's right! Right now, it's the choice between Elder Beishan and the sect's Fadu! If Elder Beishan is not held accountable for his crimes, then I don't know how many people in the sect will be dissatisfied, and the foreign forces will also be full of criticism of the Taiqing Inner Sect!"
At this time, the hall masters who supported Duguyin and Elder Xishan also spoke one after another, arguing with each other.
Suddenly, Beishan Elder Guo Bukai stood up and said loudly, "Sect Master, Elder Xishan, if I make up for all the wealth of the sect's treasury that I have embezzled within three days, then can I be exempted from this crime?"
"How do you make amends?" Dugu Yin asked.
"Frankly speaking, I plan to let Elder Dongshan act as a guarantee for me and borrow money from the Daqian Gate! Li Feng, one of the masters of the Daqian Gate Branch, is the brother-in-law of Elder Dongshan, so he must be able to lend me money!" Guo Bukai said, "At that time, the loan I borrowed will be repaid by me, and it has nothing to do with the Taiqing Inner Sect!"
Hearing this, Dugu Yin glanced at Elder Xishan, wanting to hear what he meant.
Elder Xishan shook his head and said, "After a person has committed a sin, if he goes back and makes up for his sin, is it not even if he has not committed a sin?
Guo Bukai's face changed, and he said, "Elder Xishan, so to speak, even if I make up for this sin within three days, you won't spare me?"
"If you can really do this, you can avoid the death penalty! However, your position as Elder Beishan must be removed!" Elder Xishan said.
Dugu Yin nodded, and also agreed with Elder Xishan's decision.
"Okay, good!" Guo Bukai nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give up!"
Phew!
Suddenly, Guo Bukai's hand shook, and then the purple qi in the space flashed.
"Ahh
A woman's scream rang out.
And the one who made this scream was none other than Elder Xishan's daughter, Huang Mingyan!
At this time, Huang Ming's eyes had been entangled by the purple qi that burst out, and it instantly wrapped around Guo Bukai's hand!
This change came too quickly, and Guo Bukai unexpectedly took Huang Mingyan into his hands as a hostage.
"Guo Bukai, you dare?!"
"Guo doesn't open it, let her go! Otherwise, you will kill yourself!"
Dugu Yin and Elder Xishan shouted at the same time.
