C1717 Ye Lingtian Was the Commander in Chief
As the Third Elder, Ye Lingtian's decision to inform others had caused a huge uproar in the upper echelons of the sect.
Juxian Valley, Ye Lingtian's performance was unprecedented, but everything had to be done step by step. Raising a new student to become an Elder right after arriving was already a shocking thing, how about the powerful Third Elder? The moment Qin Buhu said this, the higher ups of the Tianji Sect were no longer calm. The one with the most intense reaction was Xie Shangfeng.
"Third Elder's decision is inappropriate." Xie Shangfeng tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, "Ye Lingtian may be talented, but his qualifications are still shallow. If he becomes the Third Elder's disciple, there will definitely be people who will be unhappy, and the battle will be more stable soon. Otherwise, whether or not he will be able to survive is unknown."
The moment he said this, the Seventh Elder, who had been silent all this while, spoke out: "If the Third Elder recommended Ye Lingtian, because of his martial dao talent, Ruyan's Cultivation Level is much stronger than Ye Lingtian's. Not only is it that she grew up in Tianji Sect, her disciples might not even be able to accept Ye Lingtian as their disciple."
Tao Wannan's mouth twitched. Ruyan's Cultivation Level was very strong, but even Third Elder knew it wouldn't work. From the look in Ruyan's eyes and the scornful smile on her face, who could stand it? Who knows? If she sat here, no one would be able to make a sound on the entire Conference Room.
Wu Tie coughed lightly, looked at Seventh Elder, then glanced at Xie Shangfeng, his expression somewhat embarrassed: "I admit that Ruyan's Cultivation Level is slightly more proficient, but it is still more questionable when compared to Ye Lingtian's, do not forget the last red light that fell from the sky. "Uh, everyone, why are you guys looking at me like that?"
Why are you looking at me like that, it's not like I'm already spitting on your face due to our many years of friendship! The Cultivation Level of Qin Ruyan's martial arts had reached a small success? Um, okay, at least it's a high level Immortal Level. If this achievement is considered initial stage, then what exactly is your family's advanced stage, and what level of expert are you, Qin Buhu?
As for who was stronger in Juxian Valley battle, as long as they weren't blind, who wouldn't be able to tell? Qin Ruyan had always been fighting with one hand and had already pierced holes in Ye Lingtian's body. If they started fighting and died, would Ye Lingtian have a chance of survival?
Pretend! Qin Buhu was 100% pretending to be someone!
Murong Feixue coughed lightly and pointed at the table, "Third Elder, don't discuss about Ruyan's martial arts and Cultivation Level here. We've been around for so many years, so we're well-informed."
In my eyes, no matter what realm she reached in the Cultivation Level, no matter how great her achievements are, she is still a child. Her strengths are very obvious, her weaknesses are even more obvious, and to be fair, if she were to sit in my position, many of the people's hearts would not be at ease. Even if they saw her, they would not feel at ease.
Qin Buhu was very self-aware, Qin Ruyan's relationship in Tianji Sect was indeed very bad.
After all, he grew up in the sect. No matter how poor the Cultivation Level was, he at least had one or two friends that he had played with since he was young. Qin Ruyan's performance in Juxian Valley was shocking to the world, and logically speaking, with her strong attainments in martial arts, her fellow sect members would definitely have had thick skin to ask for guidance, but what was shocking was that it was as if the battle of Juxian Valley had never happened, and everyone had neglected Qin Ruyan's outstanding performance.
Qin Ruyan's popularity could be considered unparalleled and unparalleled. The higher ups of the Tianji Sect knew about this, and amongst the elders present, one of them wanted to ask the Purple Cloud Sword for guidance, so Qin Buhu agreed easily. Due to Qin Buhu's face, Qin Ruyan reluctantly received the elder, and it was said that the two of them chatted in the secret room for less than five minutes before the elder ran away with his face flushed red. As for what happened in the past five minutes, other than the people involved, no one knew. However, it was said that this elder seemed to have suffered an extremely strong psychological blow, and he was trembling from head to toe when he saw the sword recently.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qin Buhu felt a little ashamed, "Ruyan's interpersonal coordination ability is quite poor, this point is enough to remove her from the position of elder. On the other hand, Ye Lingtian, do you need me to explain his ability? Ye Lingtian mentioned a few conditions when he joined Tianji Sect, and not long ago, everyone discussed it. The Heaven's Mandate was an organization that he single-handedly created, and everyone was clear about its performance, more so, its ability to outnumber soldiers.
Murong Feixue raised his hand and said, "I approve of Ye Lingtian becoming the Third Elder."
Tao Wannan raised his hand.
At the same time, Jia Sidao raised his hand and didn't forget to add, "Everyone, think carefully about how much effort we have put in to nurture Ye Lingtian. In order to return him to the Tianji Sect, how much effort should we waste?
With this said, what other objections did everyone have? Ye Lingtian was basically guaranteed to become the next Tianji Sect Elder.
Murong Feixue saw the Elders raise their hands in unison, ready to start the main event of this meeting.
"I am deeply gratified that everyone has such a unanimous attitude towards Ye Lingtian when he took up the position of the Third Elder." "Just now, the Second Elder did not hesitate to point out the problems that occurred in the Tianji Sect. As the Sect Leader, I am responsible, but now is not the time to question my responsibility. Everyone needs to think about how to face the impact of the Xixia Palace and its impact under the current circumstances."
Compared to before, the internal arrogance of the higher ups of the Tianji Sect had decreased by quite a bit. The incident in the Mianyang Forest was akin to a heavy slap to the face that made everyone unable to find their way to the north. After waking up, everyone had to face the cruel reality that the other three sects were developing abnormally quickly in the past thousand years.
After the great victory of their revenge operation, the Tianji Sect higher ups were overjoyed at the same time. Through the feedback, they gradually understood that Xixia Palace was by no means a soft persimmon. To put it bluntly, a thousand years ago, Tianji Sect did not care about the combination of Xixia Palace and Yandang Mountain, but now, one had to be wary of it. After the great battle, if one's Tianji Sect took a wrong step, one's body would most likely be smashed to smithereens.
Xie Shangfeng quickly continued, and said seriously: "I suggest that we reorganize our current fighting strength, each elder will lead a group of people, and each Hall Lord will act as the deputy, quickly entering into battle mode."
Murong Feixue was very appreciative of Xie Shangfeng: "Fourth Elder's idea coincides with mine. Zhao Wuxie will divide and reorganize the disciples. Each elder will lead the way, I will be the vice commander, and Ye Lingtian will be the commander. Prepare to attack or guard at any time."
The high-level elders looked at each other in dismay.
It was fine for Zhao Wuxie to reorganize the disciples, and it was acceptable for everyone to accept the leader position. In wartime, it was fine for status to drop, but it wasn't too reliable for Ye Lingtian to be the commander, right? You can't play like this even if you want to flatter Ye Lingtian.
Considering his outstanding performance in the Juxian Valley, and considering that he was the first person to practice the [Nine Heavens Mysterious Spell], and considering that the Four Honored Warriors had anxiously waited for Ye Lingtian to rush into the Immortal Level before opening the legendary door, raising him to the position of Third Elder was already his limit. After all, Ye Lingtian had just entered the sect, and the people below were not convinced.
Everyone's reaction was within Murong Feixue's expectation. He raised his voice to remind everyone, "I know this suggestion is very sudden, but after thinking about it carefully, it should be logical. Everyone knows what I've done as the Sect Leader all these years, whether the Venerable One is satisfied with me or not.
When the senior elders heard Murong Feixue say this, some of them lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The problem with Tianji Sect was not Murong Feixue's responsibility alone, so who among the elders present dared to say that they would act for the sake of their sect in the past years?2
Seeing the big guy fall silent, Murong Feixue said worriedly, "There is a problem with my management during times of peace. Can I use my power during wartime to make all the fun? This was reality, not fiction! We are all old brothers who have been together for many years, and I am not afraid of embarrassment. I am still a bit confused about how we will fight in the upcoming battle, and I think it would be very difficult for everyone here to find someone who could come up with a practical combat plan. We are used to peace.
Fourth Elder Xie Shangfeng immediately blushed. He was the one who shouted the loudest just now, but to take out any specific measures, other than the useless suggestion of each elder leading a whole group of people, he really couldn't say anything.
Murong Feixue's point of view was correct, the reason why the higher ups of Tianji Sect were promoted to the position of an Elder was mostly based on the Cultivation Level of the martial arts. From this, everyone's focus was not on managing the affairs of the sect or improving the fighting strength of the sect, but rather, how to improve their own Cultivation Level by a step, to let them lead the army and fight like ducks on a chute.
Of course, this wasn't an exception for Tianji Sect. This was true for Xixia Palace, and it was also true for Yandang Mountain. Perhaps it was because of this current situation that Lu Yinchuan was able to rise up quickly in Xixia Palace, and even the higher ups of Xixia Palace were able to reach such a consensus. In the event of a large scale conflict between Xixia Palace and Xixia Palace, the commanding authority in wartime would be transferred to Lu Yinchuan, because only people who continuously battled would be able to accurately determine the outcome of the battle.
To be exact, the Four Great Immortal Sect was not an organization with a strict structure, it was merely a group of strong s that formed a community of interests. Everyone's focus was not on the division of profits from looting of resources, but rather, how to charge into the Immortal Level. They were not warriors nor soldiers, they were the high and mighty Martial Cultivator.
