Hmph!
The ungrateful old wretch!
"Zhi Chang Zhenren's" eyes blazed with furious rage.
This time, "Bu Zun Dao Ren" had gone too far.
As the "Supreme Elder" of the "Penglai Sword Sect," even though his talent was poor and his spiritual roots dull, and he had cultivated for so many years, only barely reaching the "Nascent Soul mid-stage realm," the "Penglai Sword Sect" had still granted him the position of "Supreme Elder" and the highest treatment!
The "Penglai Sword Sect" had not treated "Bu Zun Dao Ren" poorly!
And what was "Bu Zun Dao Ren's" repayment to the "Penglai Sword Sect"?
Turning his back on his own!
He accepted a bit of wealth from "Ni Hong Quasi Saint Son" and immediately cheered for him, barking loudly, completely disregarding the overall situation of the "Penglai Sword Sect."
Let the floods come, let them wither and decline, as long as I can get enough benefits!
You old wretch!
"Zhi Chang Zhenren" was truly enraged.
He had shown "Bu Zun Dao Ren" sufficient respect out of consideration for his seniority and age. Now, "Bu Zun Dao Ren's" disrespectful behavior had touched "Zhi Chang Zhenren's" bottom line.
Since you won't accept a favor, don't blame me for turning hostile!
"Zhi Chang Zhenren's" face sank, and he said coldly.
"Elder Bu Zun, as the Supreme Elder of the Penglai Sword Sect, you do not consider the sect's interests but always speak for that outsider Ni Hong. What is the reason for this? Today, I will make Yun Tian Kong the Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect. Let's see who dares to stop me?"
This statement not only slapped "Bu Zun Dao Ren's" face severely but also earned him a considerable amount of goodwill from Yun Tian Kong and "Hao Cai Xian Zi."
See how good I am to you all. Even if someone opposes, I will firmly support you and be your strongest backing.
As expected, "Hao Cai Xian Zi's" gaze towards "Zhi Chang Zhenren" softened considerably, no longer as hostile as before.
On the other hand, "Bu Zun Dao Ren" was furious.
Damn it!
"Zhi Chang," you dare disrespect me? I am your grand-uncle!
"Bu Zun Dao Ren's" triangular eyes rolled, and with fierce and resentful divine light, he was about to explode.
But at this very moment, he suddenly came to his senses, and the anger on his face gradually turned into a sinister cold smile.
"Bu Zun Dao Ren" no longer reacted.
His triangular eyes flickered with cold light, and he stared at "Zhi Chang Zhenren" with an expression of watching a good show.
What is this old wretch up to?
"Zhi Chang Zhenren" frowned, instinctively feeling that something was not right.
Almost simultaneously, another elder, an older "Supreme Elder," stepped forward.
This old man had lost one eye, and the remaining one was cloudy, yet it occasionally flashed with a sharp glint.
The one-eyed old man stood beside "Bu Zun Dao Ren," his good eye staring coldly at "Zhi Chang Zhenren."
"Sect Leader, how imposing you are! Hmph! It seems that in your eyes, we old guys are not worth mentioning!"
Immediately after, another older "Supreme Elder" stepped forward and stood beside "Bu Zun Dao Ren."
"Sect Leader, you don't need to put on a show for us, you can't scare anyone. Rules are rules. Until Quasi Saint Son Ni Hong comes to challenge, no one is qualified to be the Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect!"
Then, more and more "old wretches" stepped forward.
"Well said! I'd like to see who dares to break the rules!"
"This Yun Tian Kong brat has an unknown origin. What right does he have to be the Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect?"
"I see some resemblance to the Dark Sword Sect in Yun Tian Kong's swordsmanship. He must be a spy sent by the Dark Sword Sect. We absolutely cannot let him become the Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect!"
...
Soon, a large group of "old wretches" gathered around "Bu Zun Dao Ren."
These "old wretches" were all older "Supreme Elders."
They were greedy and self-serving, and disrespectful in their old age, clearly bribed by "Ni Hong Quasi Saint Son." Now, they shamelessly slandered Yun Tian Kong as a spy from the "Dark Sword Sect."
Uh...
Alright, on this point, the "old wretches" were not entirely wrong about Yun Tian Kong.
Yun Tian Kong was indeed a spy sent by the "Dark Sword Sect"!
Back to the main topic.
"Zhi Chang Zhenren's" expression was grim.
He had originally intended to give "Bu Zun Dao Ren" a warning, to make this "old wretch" restrain himself and not reject a favor.
But the situation had far exceeded "Zhi Chang Zhenren's" expectations.
A large group of "Supreme Elders" had been bribed by "Ni Hong Quasi Saint Son" and were secretly colluding.
"Zhi Chang Zhenren" could have easily dealt with a single "Bu Zun Dao Ren."
But now, a large group of "Supreme Elders" were colluding. The power formed by these "old wretches" was not to be trifled with, and "Zhi Chang Zhenren" had to be wary.
Subsequently.
The "Young and Strong Faction" led by "Zhi Chang Zhenren."
The "Old Wretch Faction" led by "Bu Zun Dao Ren."
The two sides began a fierce "battle of wits."
The "Young and Strong Faction" believed that Yun Tian Kong was a "peerless genius" and should not be missed, and that Yun Tian Kong must be recruited to become the "Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect."
The "Old Wretch Faction," on the other hand, refused to reason, would not listen, and only adhered to one principle: rules must be followed. Yun Tian Kong could not become the "Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect" prematurely; he had to wait until "Ni Hong Quasi Saint Son" came to challenge...
The two sides argued incessantly!
While the "Penglai Sword Sect" was in an uproar, the "Penglai Sword Sect" was also in chaos.
However, unlike the "Penglai Sword Sect," the situation in the "Penglai Sword Sect" was that "Yu Hua Jian Xian" wanted "Kong Xu Saint Son" to be the "Penglai Sword Sect Saint Son," while "Kong Xu Saint Son" insisted on refusing and wanted Ling Wei Feng to replace him as the "Penglai Sword Sect Saint Son."
"No, even if you say it ten thousand times, it's still no!"
"Yu Hua Jian Xian's" face turned dark, veins bulging on his forehead, his anger reaching its peak.
No matter how much "Kong Xu Saint Son" messed around usually, he could not be allowed to act recklessly when it came to the "Penglai Sword Sect Saint Son" position!
"Yu Hua Jian Xian's" eyes widened like copper bells, his expression was as if he was about to devour someone, and he glared fiercely at "Kong Xu Saint Son."
"You are too reckless! You actually want a stranger to be the Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect. I absolutely will not permit it!"
Facing "Yu Hua Jian Xian's" furious rage, "Kong Xu Saint Son" showed no fear. He sneered and retorted unceremoniously.
"First, Brother Ling is not an outsider. I have just approved his joining the Penglai Sword Sect! He is now an honorable member of the Penglai Sword Sect."
"Second, Brother Ling deserves to be the Saint Son of the Penglai Sword Sect. Your consent is not needed. I am merely informing you now!"
