Ever since Zhang Jiuzhong led people back to the mountain gate, the atmosphere inside the Agni Gate had been extremely tense.

The mountain protection formations on the mountain were all opened, and the disciples stationed outside were also recalled, and they were divided into three groups of people who were busy preparing to resist the attack of the Purple Thunder Gate.

In the Flame Hall, the three Qi Refining Ninth Layer Elders sat in the middle of a group of disciples, staring at each other in the fluctuating candlelight.

I thought that this attack on the Purple Thunder Gate was a matter of nine out of ten, but I didn't expect that the head of the sect would fold over there directly, and offended the nearby big sect Hidden Sword Valley, how would I live in the future.

Ma Tianshou couldn't bear it, broke the silence, and said: "That Purple Thunder Gate is really hateful, and he actually set a trap and killed Luo Zhangmen. Zhang Jiuzhong, you are the most responsible! This matter is that you made a package ticket, saying that as long as you go to war, you have to squeeze us out. The result: I killed the boss, and you didn't hurt a single hair. What are you going to do? What are you doing? What are you doing when the boss falls?"

Zhang Jiuzhong's face was full of shame, and he defended: "This matter is indeed my negligence, and I didn't find that the Purple Thunder Gate actually took refuge in the Hidden Sword Valley. It's all because of Lu Xuan's cunning that the head fell into the trap. In addition, the strength of the foundation building monk joined by the other party is strong, although the poor road is close, he can only watch things happen. In fact, the poor Dao is also ready to fall, but it is possible that the head of the sect will also hurt the other party, and then there are only a few Qi refining paths left to guard the formation, so I took the opportunity to escape. The head of the family has fallen, my sins are unforgivable, there is nothing to say. In the future, even if you don't want to fight this body, you will have to take revenge!"

Ma Tianshou looked disdainful: "I'm just talking about these nice things now." To put it mildly, even if you die ten times, you can't afford the loss of the fall of the master......"

The Yuan disciple, who had been holding a stiff face, couldn't listen anymore and shouted: "Stop! Old Ma, what's the use of what you say? The head of the sect will not be able to come back to life." The first thing now is to think about how to clean up people's hearts and deal with the attack of the Purple Thunder Gate. ”

Ma Tianshou snorted and stopped talking.

Zhang Jiuzhong threw a grateful look at the Yuan disciple and said, "Right now, with the help of the foundation building monks, the other party's strength has greatly increased, and our side can only take a defensive position. After I came back, I took a few turns and found that people were now panicked and had little confidence in my own business. The combination of the two is very worrying. ”

Yuan Tu nodded, he also felt the same way, the Flame Gate is now in a moment of crisis: "What Hall Master Zhang said is that we must quickly find a way to defend against the other party. It's just that the three of us are still a lot of time away from building the foundation, and we don't have enough strength against the Purple Thunder Gate. Do you have any good ideas?"

Ma Tianshou couldn't help but interject and said: "This door is in chaos like this now, what are you talking about resisting the other party's attack?

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Tu and Zhang Jiuzhong both looked serious.

Zhang Jiuzhong said tentatively: "What does the master of the horse hall mean?"

Ma Tianshou said with a straight face: "As the saying goes, a snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head." Now the people of this sect are in chaos, and a strong leader is needed to come out and clean up the situation. Otherwise, before anyone else called, we would mess up ourselves. ”

Zhang Jiuzhong nodded and said, "What Hall Master Ma said is that it is indeed necessary to choose the head of the house. Do you have any ideas on the candidates?"

There was silence in the hall. At such a critical moment, the disciples behind the three elders did not dare to take a big breath, let alone speak.

Ma Tianshou twisted and said, "I can recommend myself." Behind it, the disciples who also belonged to the political affairs hall were overjoyed, and a voice of approval appeared.

Yuan Tu hung a trace of disdain and said: "Although the master of the horse hall has strength, but this position of head is not something that can be sat in a fight, and many talents need to be considered. ”

Ma Tianshou stared at the Yuan disciple and said: "The head of the sect must be strong, otherwise who will be convinced?

Yuan Tu smiled and said, "As the head of the sect, you must not only consider the interests of those close to you, but also consider things from the perspective of the entire sect, and you must know how to balance the demands and interests of different people. Did you do it?"

Ma Tianshou said loudly: "I can't do it? Oh, it turns out that the Yuan Hall Master has also taken a fancy to the position of the head of the house!"

Yuan Tu nodded and said: "Yes! At this time, it is a critical moment for this sect, and I can no longer compromise and push back, but I must take it seriously! Now that the head of Luo is gone, the successor should be a person who usually acts fairly and can convince the whole sect! Yuan is not talented, and he is confident that he can take this position!"

The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall behind him heard that the Hall was mainly involved in the competition for the head of the sect, and they all spoke out in support.

Ma Tianshou was furious and said: "In addition to punishing the people who contribute to the sect in the door, what other merits have you contributed to the sect? I joined the sect the earliest, participated in the most battles, and captured the most territories.

Yuan Tu replied lightly: "The head of the sect only needs to strategize, although the master of the horse hall has made great contributions in the past, it is just a knife in the hands of the master." Choosing the head of the house depends on whose ability is suitable, and it is not a reward for merit!"

Ma Tianshou said angrily: "You! You have come to compete with me! Let's see who is stronger, and whoever loses will quit!"

Yuan Tu said disapprovingly: "I've already said it, what the head of the sect wants is not personal combat power, you haven't woken up yet!"

Zhang Jiuzhong was looking at it in a trance, and when he saw that the eyes of the two of them were gathered, he had to say, "What the two of you said makes sense." The strength of the head is not strong, so he does not have enough prestige to lead everyone against the enemy, of course, the head must be able to unite all forces. ”

Ma Tianshou asked: "Hall Master Zhang, don't swallow and spit out, if you have something to say, you have something to say." Who do you support, or do you have a desire to be in charge?"

The eyes of the audience refocused on Zhang Jiuzhong.

Zhang Jiuzhong sighed and said: "Zhang said something from the heart, in the past, Zhang Mou also offended many brothers for the sake of merit, so I apologize first." It's just that after returning from the Purple Thunder Gate this time, Zhang no longer has the idea of competing for power, and only thinks about avenging the master. No matter who is in charge in the end, I support it. ”

The disciples of the Yanwu Hall behind him were all surprised, they couldn't imagine that the hall master, who had always been difficult to speak, would be so reasonable today.

Yuan Tu was also greatly surprised, this Zhang Jiuzhong was like a change of sex. However, the other party considered the overall situation so much, and he had to respect it: "Hall Master Zhang really understands the righteousness, and Yuan admires it." ”

Ma Tianshou saw that there was one less competitor, and he was also happy to praise it.

Zhang Jiuzhong waved his hand and said, "This matter started because of me, so don't praise it again." The position of the head of the house, both of them can sit, since they do not agree with each other, they can discuss it later. In the face of the upcoming enemy, Zhang has a proposal, please refer to it. ”

Yuantu and Ma Tianshou were willing to sell him face at this time, and they both nodded and waited for his explanation.

"Since the Purple Thunder Gate can invite the foundation building monks of the Hidden Sword Valley to get started, and we have a close relationship with the Qingyuan Gate, why don't we also ask them to send someone over to take the town?"
