Chapter 18 - Second Murder
After an unknown period of time, Tie Liuqing broke the silence and said, ”The Discipline Hall is rotten to the root.”
Xie Liucheng remained silent. Tie Liuqing sat up straight and said, ”A few elders of the Discipline Hall are still holding you up. I know what your difficulties are.”
Xie Liucheng said with great difficulty, ”Junior Brother Sect Leader, have you thought about what would happen if the Discipline Hall's elders were to openly clash with you? Over the years you have worked hard and carefully balanced the halls. Haoran Sect has finally seen signs of prosperity.
Tie Liuqing slowly shook his head and said, ”I want to slowly start the change, but the era has changed. Three years ago, the Celestial Court fell, the immortal blood fell, and many secret residences of the Immortal World fell into the human world. I obtained reliable news that an immortal estate fell into the Sept, and at least ten sects have their eyes on this immortal estate.”
”According to the news, it would take at least ten years to break through this immortal estate's defensive formations. The moment this immortal estate opens, it will be filled with a large number of strong individuals. I also want to fight for it, but Haoran Sect who is strong on the outside and weak on the inside does not have the ability, we need to wring the power of Haoran Sect into a rope, only then will we have a chance. ”
Although Xie Liucheng was the hall master of the Discipline Hall on the surface, in reality, he was just a puppet, a puppet that had been carried away by a few elders. In order to reclaim his rights, Xie Liucheng risked everything and gave his full support to Tie Liuqing in overhauling Haoran Sect.
The Haoran Sect was showing signs of flourishing, but the elders of the Punishment Hall had a firm grasp of the power, preventing Xie Liucheng from gaining an opportunity. Xie Liucheng was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Tie Liuqing was very happy, but also very worried. After the Punishment Hall was cleaned up, Xie Liucheng, the hall master, would definitely have the authority to do so, but he did not want to cause any internal strife. He did not want to see the prosperity that Tie Liuqing had painstakingly created get wrecked.
Tie Liuqing squinted his eyes and said, ”The few clan elders will definitely look for you to divulge the information. They are very guilty, they are afraid of the reveal of the Kuxin Cave's vulgarity. Did they promise to give you some rights to persuade me? ”
Xie Liucheng said somewhat embarrassedly: ”I think we should take it slow and steady and gradually gain control of the Discipline Hall. This time, they've regressed, and in the future, there will still be a time to regress. There will be a day when I take back all of their power.”
Tie Liuqing smiled bitterly and said: ”Time is not allowed, junior brother, there are many Sinner s with decent strength, their power cannot be underestimated, if I am able to unleash their power, the chances of fighting for the September Mountain Immortal Manor s would be even greater.”
Xie Liucheng was speechless. Tie Liuqing then continued: ”The few elders of the Punishment Hall are only delaying tactics, so they temporarily return a portion of the power to you. However, you don't have your own direct descendants, so the so-called authority is just like a reflection of the moon, they can take it back anytime they want.”
Xie Liucheng's entire body turned cold, with a single sentence, Tie Liuqing revealed the crux of the problem, and that was that the right was not given to him, but grasped using his own strength. Xie Liucheng had forgotten about it because the elders made some small steps back, so he did not think about the hidden danger behind it.
Tie Liuqing said coldly: ”I've sent all five newly recruited disciples to the Kuxin Cave, I've prepared for the worst and also won't leave myself any way out. If they dare to kill my disciple, I will order them to gather all the disciples of the zhenqi cliff and destroy the Punishment Hall. ”
Tie Liuqing was merciless to the bones, he would either not make a move, and his actions would be extremely fast. No one had ever been able to change his will, so he was an iron blooded Sect Leader.
Withdrawing the zhenqi cliff disciples from the various small secret realms would definitely cause a bloody purge in the Haoran Sect. Those who had been enemies with Tie Liuqing would definitely be subjected to the cruelest suppression, and this would also cause the vitality of the Haoran Sect to be greatly damaged. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Tie Liuqing would never make such a decision.
Xie Liucheng said in shock, ”That's all? Even if the Elders were extremely daring, they would not dare to harm the direct disciple of the Sect Leader unless they dare to rebel.
Tie Liuqing looked into the distance and said: ”There are only things that you can't think of, and things that can't be done. Don't think too well of others.”
Tie Liuqing did not sleep at night. He sat in the middle of the hall alone, waiting for the alarm from Chu Qianye's necklace. It would be enough to block a fatal strike, and Tie Liuqing who had sensed it would rush to save his disciple at the first possible moment.
Tie Liuqing was too clear of the sinister intentions of the human heart. He was planning for the worst, and only hoped that Chu Qianye could activate the necklace in time …
Who knew how long Chu Qianye and Shen Xuejun walked for? The winding tunnels seemed to have no end and there were also many forks in the road. Very quickly, Chu Qianye and Shen Xuejun got lost.
