C55 Fight Back
During Deacon's meeting, Su Chen gradually saw the relationship between the seven managers: Third Elder Old Wu Gang, Sixth Elder Guo Sen, and the super Artifact Master Master Huang, who was ranked fourth. They held the leading position in the discussion process. As for Fourth Elder and Master Luo, they kept raising objections to some matters, expressing their stance. As for the two Law Protectors, their expressions were calm, and they maintained a neutral stance.
When everyone talked about the matter of Su Chen's promotion to Deacon, the Third Elder's side launched a full rebuttal. As the leader of this meeting, the Third Elder had the absolute right to speak. "According to the rules, any Artifact Master that wants to be promoted to Deacon will be promoted. Not only must one have extraordinary talent, but one must also have the approval of four core managers or the Great Elder. Deputy Shop Lord, the special permission of the Shop Lord. Unless he could already refine the Will Profound Weapon and advance naturally. You gave Su Chen Deacon his identity without permission and summoned him to Wuyang. This matter doesn't seem to be appropriate."
"This matter isn't just inappropriate, it's simply nonsense. That Su Chen is weak and overbearing. He doesn't deserve to stay in Wuyang, and he doesn't deserve to be Deacon." Sixth Elder Guo Sen shouted furiously.
"That's right. I heard that Su Chen humiliated the guards as soon as he entered, and even made them slap themselves in front of the gate. This is really a disgrace to our Profound Weapon Shop." Master Huang shook his head and sighed.
"Huang Gu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. As Deacon, Su Chen naturally has the right to enter the Profound Weapon Shop. However, not only did those guards not allow entry, they even dared to mock Deacon after seeing his cards. Letting them slap their faces is already considered a light punishment." Master Luo defended Su Chen.
"Let's not talk about which side has the right. The key is that Su Chen's identity does not conform to the rules. If Deacon did not use his cards, then it would be a small matter for him to scare the guards. The crime of impersonating Deacon is a big one. " Sixth Elder Guo Sen said with a sinister smile.
"I have reached an agreement with the other elders regarding this matter. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to verify it with everyone." Fourth Elder coldly snorted and said.
"Don't use such words to pressure me. You don't have the right to resign Deacon from such an important position." Third Elder said in a cold voice, "Without seeing the decision of the elders with your own eyes, without seeing Deacon's public announcement... We will never admit Deacon's identity. "
"It's your business whether you admit it or not. He is now my man. Anyone who dares to touch him will be challenging me." When Fourth Elder heard these words, a trace of fury flashed across his face.
"Ouyang Zhen, are you threatening us?" The Third Elder asked coldly.
"It's not a threat. It's just a warning. My two capable assistants have already been transferred away by you. If you dare to touch Su Chen again, I swear I will fight you to the death." The Fourth Elder pointed at the three men in front of him with his right hand and roared.
"You didn't follow the rules and insisted on doing it. This is truly the legacy of our management. Regarding this matter, not only do we have to carefully examine Su Chen's identity as Deacon, we also have to investigate this matter. There's even a meeting to reevaluate your position as an elder." The Third Elder also shouted at the same time.
Seeing that the situation had turned rigid, Deacon and the others below started to stir. They really did not understand what kind of morals and abilities that little guy from Purple Town had to cause such a fierce conflict among the management.
Just as the confrontation was about to be upgraded again, a protector finally spoke. "The method of promotion for Deacon in the line of work is just a testing method. Its purpose is to ensure that every promoted Deacon is worthy of his name. His talent is outstanding. "
"Third Guardian is right. There is no need for you all to argue. As long as you do a practical assessment of Su Chen's refining ability, you will be able to come to a conclusion." Another protector immediately spoke.
The protectors usually did not speak, but once they spoke, they would be extremely powerful!
The Third Elder's expression changed, and the Sixth Elder was even more shocked. Fortunately, Master Huang was in a dilemma, and retorted with a gentle tone, "The two Protectors are right, even though Deacon's method of promotion is only one method. But no matter what, it's a rule set by the General Office. I think not only can we not destroy it, we will also punish the offender. Otherwise, how can our rules convince the public?"
"Being pedantic is a sign of failure. It is impossible to make the Profound Weapon Shop stronger just by relying on those rules. What we need are more talents and more excellent Artifact Master. " Master Luo said with a cold smile.
"According to what you said, you can ignore the rules of Profound Weapon Shop just because of a kid who is still unknown whether he is talented or not?" Sixth Elder asked back.
"That's what you said yourself. I didn't say that. I only know that I agree with the two Protectors' suggestion. Since you aren't willing to accept it... Then we can solve it by voting." Master Luo chuckled and retreated to the two protectors' camp. This made Sixth Elder angry.
"I also agree to vote!" Fourth Elder said indifferently.
Originally, there were three people on the Third Elder's side, and the two Protectors usually maintained neutrality. Therefore, their side had absolute control. However, on this matter, the two Protectors leaned towards the Fourth Elder's side. This way, three votes against two would become three to four votes. The Third Elder and the others had already lost the decisive advantage.
"There's no need to vote. Since the two protectors think so, we will make an evaluation of Su Chen in the competition tomorrow." The Third Elder took a deep breath and took the lead to take a step back.
"Hmph, I would like to see how he can pass Deacon's test with just a small Seventh Level Elementalist." The Sixth Elder coldly shouted.
"Su Chen has made an outstanding contribution in the resistance against the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion's invasion. His innate talent is also astonishing. With the superb Artifact Technique, he is absolutely qualified to be the Deacon of this profession. Apart from that, he also brought back a piece of shocking news. This news is extremely disadvantageous to us. We must convene the core meeting immediately." Fourth Elder looked at everyone with a melancholic gaze. His face was filled with a solemn expression.
...
...
After Deacon left, the seven core managers headed towards the Elders Pavilion. Although Fourth Elder did not tell them the details of the incident, everyone could tell from his seriousness. What he wanted to say was definitely not a trivial matter, so even if his tone was tough, third Elder and the others did not refute him.
Many of the Deacon were baffled by the silence after the debate between the seven core managers, but Su Chen knew that they were going to discuss the war with the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion.
The Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion had invaded the territory of the Profound Weapon Shop. This was originally a business war between large organizations across the country. Apart from the Imperial Court's machines, no organization or individual could stop them. Therefore, Su Chen wisely chose to temporarily give up on participating in this matter. He would wait until his cultivation base and Artifact Technique had improved before waiting for an opportunity to take revenge for Mr. Tianshui.
After he figured this out, he walked out of Deacon's hall with great ease. However, he was stopped by a few Deacon, who were led by Xu Wanlin, at the entrance.0
"Junior brother Wanlin, is he that wild kid from Purple Town? He looks very ordinary. I wonder why Fourth Elder has taken a fancy to such a trash." One of the Deacon pointed at Su Chen and said in a mocking tone.
"That's right. The Purple Town Branch was originally a poor and remote place. Other than the Shop Lord that can be refined into Will Profound Weapon, the rest were all Origin Tool Master. What kind of talent can be nurtured in such a boring place?" Another Dark Nether Stage Deacon cried out snappily.
"Seniors, not only Fourth Elder thinks highly of him, Master Luo also thinks that his talent can surpass mine. This sounds very funny." Xu Wanlin said to his senior brothers with a smile.
"You all stopped me because you want to talk nonsense in front of me?" Su Chen looked at the crowd coldly, his face full of questioning.
"Bastard, you brat didn't know to kneel down and pay your respects to everyone when you saw Deacon. How dare you speak so coldly? You are simply lawless. Today, let me teach you a lesson." A Dark Nether Stage Deacon walked forward, his eyes were shining with a hazy light. He turned into a river of will and rushed towards Su Chen.
"Stop pretending to be old in front of me. You want me to worship all of you. Dream on!" Su Chen spun his body and disappeared in front of everyone. Immediately after that, a figure knocked Deacon's body flying, creating a huge hole in the stone wall of Deacon's hall.
"What a fast speed! How did this kid do it?" Everyone was shocked when they saw Su Chen send a Dark Nether Stage Expert flying in the blink of an eye.
"Su Chen, how dare you attack Deacon? Are you tired of living?" Xu Wanlin glared at Su Chen, his face full of anger.
"Don't think that you can fool around with treasures just because you have some skills. In the endless world of martial arts, you are nothing compared to thousands of people. You are even worse than ants. " Su Chen pointed at the crowd and counted. Then, he pushed open the crowd and swaggered away. Only a group of people were left dumbstruck.
"Brat, how dare you be so rude to me? I'm going to kill you." Deacon, who was knocked away by Su Chen earlier, had his clothes torn apart. His body was covered in blood, and he looked extremely pathetic.
"Senior disciple Wang, don't worry. That kid just borrowed the advantage of his speed to gain a small victory. We will have plenty of chances to deal with him in the future. At that time, we will make him suffer a fate worse than death." Xu Wanlin comforted that Deacon.
"That's right. This kid is so arrogant. We must teach him a lesson." The surrounding people nodded their heads in agreement. Obviously, they were dissatisfied with Su Chen's performance.
"Alright. We must give him a hard time in tomorrow's competition. It would be best if he doesn't become Deacon and is accused of impersonating Deacon." The injured Deacon called out coldly.
"Count me in as well. He is the common enemy of all of us!" At this moment, another person walked out from the corner. This person had a similar appearance to Jia Yongming, who had slapped himself at the door. However, he was a Dark Nether Stage expert. The waves of intent emanating from his body were extremely powerful. They were at least Third Grade Dark Nether Stage Expert.
"With senior disciple Jia joining us, Su Chen will surely die." Seeing this person, everyone couldn't help but feel wild joy in their hearts.
Out of the 100 Deacon from the Profound Weapon Shop, 20 were allocated by the elder group, 20 were allocated by the protector group, and the remaining 60 belonged to the technical department. Xu Wanlin and the others who had troubled Su Chen previously were all from the technical department.
The name of this man was Jia Yongqiang, Jia Yongming's cousin, and he was also a member of Deacon. However, the difference was that he belonged to the guardians, and what he was best at was not artifact forging, but fighting!
Among the twenty battle-type Deacon, his combat strength could absolutely be ranked in the top ten. It was precisely because of this that everyone became so excited after he announced that he would join the camp to deal with Su Chen.
