After Zhang Haishi left the Bajing Courtyard, he immediately summoned the hall master of the thirty-six halls in the name of the old sect master, as long as he was in Qizhou, he must rush to Penglai Island the next day, and he must not be lazy. If the hall master is not in Qizhou for some reason, the deputy hall master will participate on his behalf, and it is specially stated that Tianwei Hall will be replaced by the deputy hall master.

So except for Li Rushi, the hall master of Tiankui Hall, Situ Xuanluo, the hall master of Tianji Hall, Li Ruyu, the hall master of Tianhui Hall, and others, the rest of the hall masters rushed to Penglai Island.

On this day, Penglai Island opened a large pier for the hall owners to dock the boat, and for a time the sails were like clouds, which was a grand occasion that had not been seen in the past ten years. However, the mood of the hall masters is full of solemnity, because the old sect master has not convened the thirty-six hall masters for many years, and many new hall masters have never even landed on Penglai Island, let alone the old sect master.

Many of the elder hall masters were even more surprised, because they found that the White Dragon Tower ship that had been docked on the dock for many years was actually missing, and when they thought of the gathering of the thirty-six hall masters today, they became more and more puzzled.

Under the guidance of the disciples of Tiankui Hall, all the hall masters came to the meditation hall of the Eight Scenery Courtyard, and the thirty-six seats that had been empty for many years were actually full. And today, the camps of the people who came were distinct, those who belonged to the sect leader Li Yuanying's faction were sitting on the left, those who belonged to the deputy sect advocating the Haishi faction and the neutral faction were sitting on the right, Lu Yanbing and Li Taiyi were also sitting in the positions of the hall master of Tianxian Hall and the hall master of Tiandian Hall respectively, and the two sides did not talk, and the entire meditation hall was silent.

The seat in the middle of the top is the seat that belongs to the old sect master, and there is a seat on the left and right of this chair, and the position is slightly lower, and the seat of the old sect master constitutes a "mountain" character, which belongs to the sect master and the deputy sect master respectively, because the left is respected, so the suzerain is on the left, and the deputy suzerain is on the right, and these two seats are also empty at this time.

Zhang Haishi stood next to the old sect master's chair, did not sit down, just held the back of the chair with one hand, obviously he was the person in charge today.

Just when the hall masters were worried in their hearts, two women came from outside the door, the woman on the left everyone recognized, it was the third lady Gu Yusheng, and the woman on the right was a little blind, but there were also people who knew it, it was Miss Qin.

Mr. 3 and Mr. 4 are at odds, this is a matter known to the whole sect, but I didn't expect that these two women who have a deep relationship with the two gentlemen would come here together.

The two came to the door, each of them humbled a little, one said "Senior Sister Qin, please", the other said "Senior Sister Gu, please", and in the end, it was Gu Yusheng who crossed the threshold first, and Qin Su followed.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Haishi slowly spoke: "Some of you hall masters may already know, maybe some of you don't know, today, the old sect master appointed me Zhang to act as the sect master. ”

"According to the old sect master's intentions, I also ask the third lady and Miss Qin to be a witness. Zhang Haishi made a gesture of please: "The third senior brother is not in the sect, please ask the third lady to take the seat of the sect master." ”

Gu Yusheng bowed his head slightly and sat down directly on Li Yuanying's seat.

Zhang Haishi looked at Qin Su again, and also made a gesture of invitation, but pointed to his chair: "Miss Qin is a distinguished guest personally invited by the old sect master, please also take a seat." ”

Qin Su hesitated slightly, but still sat in the position of deputy sect master.

This made a slight commotion in the hall, after all, it was a person from a foreign sect, sitting in the position of the deputy sect master of the Qingwei Sect, it was really a little unbelievable, but at this time, Zhang Haishi was in charge himself, and even the "thorn" Li Rushi did not speak, and the others naturally did not dare to say anything.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Haishi was the only one standing in the meditation hall, only to hear him say, "Mr. Four, please." ”

The words fell, and under the guidance of the two Tiankui Hall disciples, Li Xuandu strode into the meditation hall.

Although there were rumors early in the morning, most people still had doubts, and now when they heard Zhang Haishi's announcement in the court, it was like a mighty wind in the sky, and there was thunder in their ears!

The eyes of the thirty-six hall masters, the eyes of Gu Yusheng and Qin Su, and the eyes of Zhang Haishi fell on Li Xuandu's body together.

These eyes vary from astonished to gloomy, to worried, indifferent, gloating, and full of concern.

Zhang Haishi sighed imperceptibly, and after glancing at Li Xuandu, he withdrew his gaze.

Then Li Xuandu met Qin Su's concerned gaze again, smiled at her slightly, and finally looked at Lu Yanbing again, but it was a little unexpected to him, Lu Yanbing, who likes to hold high and step low the most on weekdays, did not gloat, but had complicated eyes, and even a little admiration?

After the hall masters retracted their gaze, Zhang Haishi said in a deep voice: "Li Xuandu!"

Li Xuandu stood up straight and replied, "Yes." ”

Zhang Haishi asked, "The old sect master said that you were disrespectful, but is there such a thing?"

Li Xuandu said: "I did admonish the old sect master. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

No one who can set foot in this meditation hall is a fool, and he has already guessed that it should be Li Xuandu who angered the old hall master, but he didn't expect it to be such a crime. Could it be that he insulted the old sect master to his face? He made the old sect master so angry that he left Penglai Island, so he let Mr. Er be in charge of this matter? But with the old sect master's strength of the city government, how could he be angry? It's just that they think of the strong killing force that affected the changes in the heavens and the vanished Bailonglou ship, and they can't help but believe it.

At this moment, Li Rushi interjected: "Just making a disrespectful speech?"

Li Xuan didn't answer.

Zhang Haishi asked rhetorically, "According to Hall Master Li's meaning?"

Li Rushi shouted: "There is also the crime of communicating with foreign enemies!"

A trace of hatred flashed in Zhang Haishi's eyes, he knew that Li Rushi wanted to use this matter to completely knock Li Xuandu into a situation from which he could never recover, and said: "Hall Master Li, the old sect master has not yet said that Mr. Fourth is guilty, and now this matter has not been decided, Hall Master Li will first convict him, so don't we need to discuss this matter?"

Li Rushi remembered the nail he had touched in front of the old sect master, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to say, "When did I convict him?"

Zhang Haishi said: "Then where does your so-called 'crime of colluding with foreign enemies' come from, is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, can I convict you of slander?"

Of course, Li Rushi has no evidence, many things are only known to the old sect master and the hall master of Tianji Hall, Situ Xuanluo, but Situ Xuanluo has always been unhelpful, at this time he sat opposite him like a stone Buddha, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had begun to pretend to sleep.

Li Rushi knew that he couldn't count on Situ Xuanluo, so he could only suppress his anger and looked at Li Ruxian, the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall who was sitting at the bottom of him: "Deputy hall master Ruxian, you are the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall, in charge of the rules and precepts of the sect, what do you think?"

Although Li Rushi is terrible, Zhang Haishi is not a vegetarian, Li Ruxian did not dare to offend anyone, so he had to stand up and arch his hands in the face of the two: "The subordinates still don't know the ins and outs of this matter, so they don't dare to say anything." ”

Zhang Haishi's eyes flashed, and he continued: "If Deputy Hall Master Xian is right, I summoned all the hall masters today for this matter. ”

Li Ruxian breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down.

Zhang Haishi turned his gaze to Li Xuandu again: "Li Xuandu, today is the meeting of the thirty-sixth hall lord, if I ask you, you have to answer truthfully one by one." ”

Li Xuandu bowed slightly: "Deputy Sect Master, excuse me." ”

Zhang Haishi didn't intend to give Li Rushi a chance to make trouble, so he got straight to the point: "You admonished the old sect master, which caused the old sect master to be furious, saying that you were disrespectful, and whether or not you were suspected of insulting the master, I ask you now, if you do this, is there anyone behind your back?"

Li Xuandu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I have already made it clear to my master about this matter, but now that the Qingwei Sect is not right, and the atmosphere is biased, I have to make up my mind to rectify it." My admonition was not refuted by the Master. Now that the whole sect is full of people, no one dares to say anything to the master, only me, do you want to suspect my intentions?"
