Chapter XXVII: The Decision of the Supreme Elders
Elder Taishang and the others have the intention of defending Xiao Fan, but there are some things that they can't do too much, otherwise they will be dissatisfied with their winning temperament.
Of course, it wasn't that Elder Taishang and the others were afraid of winning Zheng. Within this sect, the only person who can take over the position of the sect master and make the sect stronger is Ying Zheng or Xiao Fan in the future. Ying Zheng's strength is already very strong, he has the ability to be qualified for the position of sect master, of course, he is the first candidate.
If Ying Zheng became jealous because of this, and if someone from the other factions co-opted him, the sect would lose a genius, and these were all things that the Supreme Elders had taken into account. Therefore, even if you have great expectations for Xiao Fan, you can't overdo it.
"Boss, I'm worried that not only will I not accept it, but the entire Zixia Peak will not accept it. Ying Zheng has made a lot of contributions to the sect, and both qualifications and strength are the first qualifications. Once we announce it, anyone can see that we really want to cultivate Xiao Fan and Ying Zheng to compete for the position of sect master, and most of the people on Zixia Peak's side will have a big opinion. ”
The Supreme Elder, known as Lao Qi, said.
"Lao Qi's words are reasonable, but Xiao Fan also had some credit when he sealed the gate of the underworld in the Eastern Desolate Vein before, but I am afraid that it will still be difficult to convince Zixia Peak. ”
Several other Supreme Elders said so.
Hearing this, the Great Taishang Elder pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, after you go to the Zixia Hall to announce our decision, see what the Zixia Summit says, if they feel that Xiao Fan's qualifications and contributions are not enough, then we will give Xiao Fan a chance to make a great contribution to the sect." As long as Xiao Fan succeeds, no one will have anything to say at that time. ”
"Boss, what do you mean?"
A look of surprise appeared on the face of the Seventh Taishang Elder, and he stopped talking.
"yes, that's exactly what you're thinking. Elder Taishang nodded, and then said: "The three empires have been in turmoil for more than ten years, and our Tianxuanzong is within the scope of the Dragon Teng Empire, and it has always been the Heavenly King Mansion that is assisting the Dragon Teng Empire and sharing the imperial luck. In the past, our Tianxuan Sect was lucky, so we didn't meddle in the affairs between empires. In the past few decades, the sect's luck dragon vein has obviously weakened a lot, so it is necessary to share the empire's luck. ”
"Boss, are you saying that if Zixia Peak feels that Xiao Fan is not qualified enough and does not make a great contribution to the sect, we propose that he go to the Dragon Teng Empire to help the empire end the war. In this way, I can share the fortune of the empire and make a great contribution to the sect?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. When the time comes, if they ask for it again and again, you will have to make this decision as a last resort. After all, going to the Dragon Teng Empire, Xiao Fan will be running around on the battlefield all day long in the future, living a bloody life, which is very dangerous. In the midst of thousands of troops, sometimes it is not the strength of an individual that can survive. ”
The Great Elder said in a deep voice.
Xiao Fan listened to the words of Elder Taishang, and the cities that had been trampled by the Great Yan Iron Cavalry came to his mind, with smoke curling everywhere, corpses lying all over the ground, and rivers of blood. The bereaved children struggled in pools of blood, crying and crawling forward little by little.
These scenes appeared in Xiao Fan's mind one by one, making him feel an indescribable sourness in his heart. In this era of bloody war, it is always necessary for someone to put an end to this. If he really wanted to go, he would do his best.
"Xiao Fan, if you really want to go to the Dragon Teng Empire to help the empire end the war, are you willing to go?"
Elder Taishang looked at Xiao Fan and asked.
Although the disciple is not a merciful savior, he has seen the city trampled by the Great Yan Iron Cavalry, and it is miserable. The dead were innocent people, they were weak, they didn't know how to cultivate, and they shouldn't have suffered such a calamity. ”
"Very good!" Elder Taishang's eyes were bright, and he said: "Cultivators, with a heart of compassion for the weak, can they stick to themselves in the midst of strength and always maintain their true hearts, we are not wrong about you!"
"Old Seven, you and the left and right envoys will take Xiao Fan to the Zixia Palace. Xiao Fan, no matter what you face, you have to live, and we will see your strength in two years!"
"Let's go. ”
Elder Qitaishang stood up from the ** and walked out of the main hall with the left and right envoys and Xiao Fan. After they left, the Grand Elder sighed deeply.
"Boss, I think with Xiao Fan's potential, we should be stronger, let him stay in the sect to cultivate, and most of the future will be able to win Zheng and sit on the position of sect master. ”
"Yes, his potential is indeed terrifying, but who can say what will happen in the future. We have to train him, but we can't give up on winning Zheng, so we can only do it this way. After all, no matter how great the potential is, there may be any accidents on the way to cultivation. And the relationship between Xiao Fan and Qin Hanyue is not clear, and we have to guard against it, so we can't put everything on him. ”
"Well, the boss is right, we must take care of both sides, so that we can deal with the changes that may occur in the future and choose the strongest sect master for the next sect master. ”
Two Supreme Elders nodded and said.
"There's one thing I've always been worried about, and even though thousands of years have passed, we can't afford to be careless. ”
The elder said in a solemn voice.
"Boss, are you worried about that mysterious force that appeared thousands of years ago?"
"Yes, no one knows what kind of force it is. I see that behind the wars of the empire in the past ten years, there are not only the shadows of other major sects, but also their shadows. If that were the case, there would be a sea change in the future. We are all old, and although we are strong people who gather for Sanhua, we do not have lasting combat effectiveness. The battlefield in the future belongs to the younger generations, and in that kind of bloody chaos, it depends on whether there are younger characters who can turn the tide. ”
"If Xiao Fan and Ying Zheng can get along in harmony, even if the blood chaos comes, our Tianxuanzong will have more than enough to protect themselves, but it's a pity that ......"
The Second Supreme Elder shook his head and sighed.
"The words left by the Supreme Elders of the past generations are to remind us of that mysterious force at all times, they have not shown a trace for thousands of years, but I have a hunch that in our lifetime, that force may surface and encroach on the continent's major forces. ”
"Boss, you don't need to worry too much. After Xiao Fan's matter is resolved, we will let the left and right envoys go to all sides to investigate, and as soon as we find that there is a mysterious movement, we can also inform the other sects and get ready. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it. ”
The Grand Elder nodded.
Zixia Peak, the Seventh Taishang Elder took the left and right envoys and Xiao Fan to the Zixia Hall, and they would definitely be seen by others along the way, and soon alarmed the entire sect. Those who had just left from Nanfeng Ping and the various vein peak masters and others immediately took the elders, Dharma protectors and chief disciples to Zixia Peak to meet Elder Taishang, and at the same time wanted to know why Elder Taishang of the Dao Dao came out in person, was it for Xiao Fan's business?
The Zixia Hall is huge and majestic, and it is magnificent. When Elder Taishang, Xiao Fan and the others had just walked to the stairs in front of the main hall, Ziyang Zhenren walked out with the Elder Protector and a group of people, bowing down to greet them.
"Greetings to Elder Taishang, I don't know that Elder Taishang is coming, Ziyang and the others did not come in time to greet him, I hope Elder Taishang will not blame. ”
"Well, excuse me. The old man doesn't care so much about the rules. I came here today to announce something, Ziyang, you should hurry up and inform the people of all veins to come to the main hall. ”
"Yes, Elder Taishang. ”
Ziyang bowed, and then asked a Sect Protector Elder to personally inform the various veins. In fact, the people of all veins have already known that the Supreme Elder has come and is on his way.
After entering the Zixia Hall, it was not the turn of the sect master to sit in Ziyang, he automatically let the Taishang Elder sit down, and he stood aside, with a deep look of defense in the depths of his eyes.
At this time, Ziyang Zhenren was full of restrained aura, for fear that the Seventh Taishang Elder would detect his hidden Yin Soul aura.
The left and right envoys stood on either side of the Supreme Elder, while Xiao Fan sat on a chair under the main hall.
Not long after, the peak masters of each vein waited for the arrival, and after meeting the Seventh Taishang Elder one after another, they each took their places.
Lin Caixuan, Lu Qingya and the others all cast their eyes at Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan knew that they were wondering why the Supreme Elder would come to the Zixia Hall with him.
"Seventh Taishang Elder, I don't know why you came to the Zixia Hall today?"
Ziyang Zhenren couldn't help it, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, worried that his disguise had been revealed.
Elder Seven Taishang glanced at everyone, his gaze was very peaceful, but it gave everyone an unspeakable pressure.
"Today, the old man left the Taishang Elder Peak and came to the Zixia Hall with the left and right envoys for Xiao Fan's business. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Fan.
"Xiao Fan's potential must be clear to everyone, and his performance in the ring is also obvious to all. It is rare for the sect to have such a talented disciple for thousands of years, and in order for the sect to continue to prosper, such a talent must naturally be cultivated. However, Xiao Fan and Ying Zheng had a lot of conflicts. Our Supreme Elders' House has decided to give Xiao Fan the qualifications to compete for the next Sect Master's heir. Two years later, at the Sect Master's Succession Ceremony, if Xiao Fan can defeat Ying Zheng, he will be the next Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect!"
The entire hall was silent, I didn't expect the Supreme Elder's House to make a decision so quickly, and it was said by the Seventh Supreme Elder himself.
Soon, the silence in the hall disappeared and was replaced by a bustle. Many people were talking, especially the people from Zixia Peak, and there was a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Elder Taishang, such a decision is not fair. Xiao Fan has potential, which is good, but he can't compare with Ying Zheng. And Ying Zheng has made many contributions to the sect, and Xiao Fan is still young, how can he be qualified to compete with Ying Zheng for the position of the heir of the sect master?"
"Yes, we are not convinced. Senior Brother Ying Zheng has been in the sect for decades and has done a lot of things for the sect. Xiao Fan has only been in the sect for two years, except for the trip to the Eastern Desolate Vein, what has he done?"
The elders of Zixia Peak, every word you say to me, all of them raise voices of opposition.
