C1010 Lou Jia Lai Yi
In the grand hall, Elder Bai faced the middle-aged man who stood at the head of the hall and said: "Sect Master, Mysterious Fire Sect Elder Lou Jia said she wants to speak with you about something!"
The man who stood at the head of the hall was about fifty years old. His appearance was average, had a full beard and a robust build, looking powerful and unrestrained. He was Tiaoying Sect's Sect Leader, Nangong Chan.
Nangong Chan's gaze fell upon his from the moment he followed Clan Elder Bai into the great hall, and he also felt that he was a little familiar. After hearing the introduction, he finally remembered that he was indeed an elder of the Mysterious Fire Sect, and had even met him at the great competition between the five great sects.
"Sect Leader Nangong, Lou Jia has something important to tell you!" Lou Jia cupped his fists and said.
"Elder Lou is an elder of the Mysterious Fire Sect, why would he tell this sect master such an important matter?" Nangong Chan smiled and asked.
Lou Jia's eyes darkened. "The matter that Lou Jia wanted to tell Sect Master Nangong is a great thing for Sect Master Nangong!"
"Oh? The more Elder Lou spoke, the more puzzled I was. Just be frank about what exactly happened! " Nangong Chan revealed an expression of confusion as he said this.
Lou Jia took a deep breath and said, "Sect Master Nan Gong, yesterday, Zhou Yan led a group of elders to the Howling Firmament Sect, but in the end, both Zhou Yan and Qiao Beidou suffered from heavy injuries!"
"What?"
Hearing that, Nangong Chan and Clan Elder Bai's face shook, their bodies trembled. This news, to them, was like a bolt out of the blue, truly shocking!
"How is that possible? Zhou Yan is not stupid, why did he find Qiao Beidou and cause both of them to suffer?" Nangong Chan frowned and asked.
Lou Jia took a deep breath and said: "Because Zhou Yan advanced to a four star Martial King not long ago, and wanted to kill Qiao Beidou, whom he had been wanting to kill the entire time. In the end, not only did Qiao Beidou advanced to a four star Martial King, the two of them even used all of his trump cards, and ended up with both of them being injured!"
"So it's like that. Then, what does this have to do with me? Why did you specially come over to tell me?" Nangong Chan's eyes were cold as he pretended not to understand anything.
Lou Jia smiled and said, "Sect Leader Nangong, if you pretend to be ignorant, then it would be meaningless, right?"
"Since you've already said so, if you don't want to beat around the bush, then say it clearly." Nangong Chan said coldly.
Hearing that, Lou Jia laughed once again, and said: "Alright, I have made it clear, this is a good thing for Sect Master Nan Gong. Zhou Yan and Qiao Beidou were both defeated and injured, this is a good opportunity for you to profit from it, don't you want Tiaoying Sect to swallow Mysterious Fire Sect and Howling Firmament Sect?"
Hearing that, Nangong Chan's face changed, his eyes became serious, and he said: You are an elder of Mysterious Fire Sect, from the looks of it, you seem to be hoping for my Tiaoying Sect to swallow your Mysterious Fire Sect!
It's a pity that I am only a Eight Star Martial King, so my strength is far inferior to his. There is no way around it, now that I am finally waiting for a chance to kill him, but, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so even if I am seriously injured, Zhou Yan is still a four star Martial King, and I, a mere Eight Star Martial King, am unable to do anything to him. Therefore, I thought of telling Sect Master Nan Gong about this matter.
"There's actually such a thing? Are you serious?" Nangong Chan's eyes turned, and looked at Lou Jia, and asked with an imposing tone.
Lou Jia nodded vigorously. "I mean what I say. If there's even a single lie, I'll die a horrible death!"
"This ?" Hearing that, Nangong Chan frowned, his heart was moved, but he was still worried.
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Chan said: "This matter is extremely important, it is not something that I alone can decide, and it requires the discussion of the elders. Elder Bai, bring Elder Lou to the side hall to rest first, then, bring Black Elder and the elders from the other elders' groups over.
"Yes." Elder Bai nodded. With a slight frown, he led Lou Jia out of the hall.
An hour later, Elder Bai brought over twenty elders to the great hall.
"Elders, this sect leader has a very important matter that he needs to discuss with everyone." Nangong Chan looked at the elders and said.
"Sect Leader, if there's anything, please speak directly." A sixty year old man wearing a white skull embroidered on his forehead and a black robe said. He was Tiaoying Sect, the Black Elder amongst the Black and White Elders, Hei Shan.
Nangong Chan nodded, and then told all of Lou Jia's intentions.
"If this is true, it is a great thing for us Tiaoying Sect!" After hearing what Nangong Chan had to say, Black Mountain said excitedly.
"If it's true, then it's indeed a good thing, but, isn't it unfair? Mysterious Fire Sect and Howling Firmament Sect have not fought since the last generation, the battle between them is understandable, but our Tiaoying Sect has never had anything to do with Mysterious Fire Sect, Howling Firmament Sect." Nangong Chan said somewhat hesitantly.
"Grand master, you're right. Doing this is too immoral. We can't do this!" He was against taking the opportunity to annex Mysterious Fire Sect and Howling Firmament Sect. Previously, when he was bringing Lou Jia to the side hall, he had told her that he would not have brought lackey Jia to see the sect master if he knew Lou Jia's purpose.
"That's a mistake. Sect Master, you are a man of no means and no man. If you want to become a great man, do not bother with small matters. It doesn't matter if he is virtuous or immoral. This opportunity is extremely rare!" Elder Hei Shan said loudly.1
"Hei Shan, you have to be righteous. If not, how can you still call people that?" Elder Bai's expression immediately darkened as he spoke with a displeased expression.
Hei Shan laughed coldly, and said: "Bai Yuan, you, as a person, love to pay attention to matters of love and justice that are useless. If you can't accomplish anything, don't obstruct the growth of the sect, or else, you will be a sinner of the sect.
"You!" Bai Yuan heard and immediately became angry.
"Elders, please stop arguing. This sect leader has called you here to discuss this matter and not to listen to your argument. How about this, the group of elders vote, and decide on the result." Seeing that the Black and White Elders were arguing again, Nangong Chan laughed helplessly.
"Fine, let's vote then. If there are benefits, we won't take the bastards. I want to see how many bastards there are!" Hei Shan chuckled.
"You ?" Bai Yuan heard this and was angered. This black mountain was clearly saying that he was a bastard.
Those who support Elder Hei Shan, stand at the right side of the hall, and those who support Elder Bai Yuan, stand at the left side of the hall, everyone express your position! Nangong Chan said.
"Hualalala!"
Immediately, within the great hall, over twenty elders began to take their positions. The result was very clear: all of them supported Elder Hei.
"Did you see that? We are all smart people. Only one of us is a fool." In the end, it was as he had predicted, there would be those who wouldn't take advantage of the bastard, and those who took over the other two great sects within the hundred city area, the resources and benefits that could be obtained would be known to be huge. These elders could naturally benefit greatly, and naturally, they could not resist the temptation, furthermore, the Mysterious Fire Sect sect master and sect master were both severely injured, so as long as their sect master appeared, they could easily take over the two great sects.
