Chapter 5134: Sect dispute
Translator: 549690339
Everyone subconsciously looked at Hong Qingyuan, but they did not see any intention on his face. He did not say anything and did not express his opinion. This was Hong Qingyuan’s attitude.
Hong Qingyuan did not speak. Everyone’s eyes fell on the five elders who were ranked at the top. Including Hong Qingyuan and Xue Liping, the two leaders, these seven people were the most influential people in the snow sword sect. The other sect leaders were either on their side or were their disciples, so they had no independent right to speak.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough …” One of the old men suddenly started coughing violently. It was the first elder, Chi qianqiu.
“I say, elder Chi, if you’re not feeling well, you should go back and rest. In your condition, staying here will not only affect your condition, but also affect everyone’s discussion. You’re the most experienced elder in our snow sword sect, so you should be able to see the big picture, right?” Xue Liping looked at Chi qianqiu and pouted impatiently.
When the other higher-ups of the sect heard this, their expressions varied. The conflict between Xue Liping and Chi qianqiu had been going on for a long time. One was the Vice-leader of the sect, who held a high position and power, while the other was the most experienced great elder. In terms of power, Xue Liping was slightly superior by virtue of his position as the Vice-leader, but in terms of status, Chi qianqiu was a level higher.
After all, Chi qianqiu was the most senior elder of the sect present and had been promoted by the previous sect leader. His position was only below that of sect leader Hong Qingyuan, and even Xue Liping could not match him. This was also the reason why there was constant friction between the two. A mountain could not accommodate two tigers. Sect leader Hong Qingyuan’s position was deeply rooted, but there had never been a clear winner in the battle for the second position.
“Ahem, vice sect leader Xue, you’re wrong. Since I’m the sect’s great elder, I should naturally do my best for the snow sword sect. Compared to the sect’s major Affairs, what’s my old illness worth?” Chi qianqiu laughed as he coughed.
“Hmph, then what do you think, elder Chi?” Xue Liping silently cursed the old man. It was said that Chi qianqiu’s old illness was a result of him risking his life for the previous sect leader when he was young. Even the best elixir could only suppress the injury but not cure it. If this old man’s old illness were to erupt one day and he died, it would be a great blessing.
“It can’t be considered a brilliant idea, just a few honest words.” Chi qianqiu smiled and turned to the crowd.””Everyone, our snow sword sect and the green cloud sect of the North Island have been friends for a long time. We know the style of the green cloud sect of the North Island quite well. Do you really think that the green cloud sect of the North Island is arrogant and Savage?”
Everyone looked at each other, and most of them shook their heads. The green cloud sect of the northern island was known for their gentle way of doing things, and they had almost never taken the initiative to cause trouble. Even when other ancient sects provoked them, they often turned big things into small things. If this was considered arrogant and Savage, it was really unreasonable.
“What happened in the past will definitely happen in the future? Elder Chi, you can’t be so innocent, can’t you just pretend what you did in the past? This time, not only my son, but even Bing Wuqing has been beaten into a disabled person. This happened in the territory of the green cloud School on the North Island. Could it be that elder Chi is too old to hear clearly?” Xue Liping sneered.
“Oh, so vice sect leader Xue also knows that this is happening on other people’s territory?” Chi qianqiu looked at him with a half-smile, then turned to the crowd and said,””Why don’t you all think about it? if two people from the green cloud School on the North Island suddenly rushed in and wanted to arrest them without distinguishing right from wrong, what would you do?”
“Of course it’s to teach them how to be human.” The snow sword sect higher-ups ‘reactions were almost in unison.
“Therefore, in my opinion, it’s too far-fetched to blame green cloud sect from the North Island for this incident. If word got out, we’ll only be laughed at by outsiders. After all, if we were to really talk about it, our people were the ones who did something wrong. Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng went to their territory for no reason to act tough and capture people. It’s normal for them to be beaten up. It’s already very kind of them to throw back two disabled people. If it were me, I would only be two corpses.” Chi qianqiu looked at Xue Liping and said.
The higher-ups of the various sects nodded in unison. Xue Liping’s expression immediately changed, and he said sarcastically,””I remember that elder Chi is an elder of our snow sword sect. You’re not from the Qingyun sect on the North Island, are you?”
“What did you just say?” Chi qianqiu’s face also sank. Although the two of them had never gotten along, Xue Liping’s words had clearly crossed the line. It was no different from falling out with each other in public.
Chi qianqiu’s faction of snow sword sect’s higher-ups were filled with righteous indignation. They could not help but want to slam the table and rise. At the same time, Xue Liping’s faction of higher-ups were also agitated. The atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became tense. A single word of disagreement could lead to a chaotic battle.
At this moment, Hong Qingyuan suddenly coughed lightly. The two groups of people who were rubbing their hands immediately quieted down. Although these people only followed Chi qianqiu and Xue Liping’s lead, Hong Qingyuan, the sect leader of the snow sword sect, was not just for show. Once Hong Qingyuan was enraged, even Chi qianqiu and Xue Liping would tremble in fear, not to mention these people.
Hong Qingyuan knocked on the table with his fingers habitually and said lightly,””We’re all from the same sect, let’s talk things out and not hurt our relationship. ”
Chi qianqiu and Xue Liping looked at each other and nodded slightly.””Sect leader, please forgive us, we lost our manners.”
“Let’s continue,” Hong Qingyuan waved his hand. He still did not show any inclination towards this matter. It was as if he was prepared to let Chi qianqiu, Xue Liping, and the rest of the people fight for an explanation.
“Elder Chi, you said that this incident happened in the territory of the green cloud School on the North Island, so we can’t pursue it? Hmph, but why don’t you think about why Bing Wuqing and my son went there? if it wasn’t to carry out the sect’s order to capture that traitorous disciple, Leng Leng, why would they come here and cause trouble?” Xue Liping snorted.
Before Chi qianqiu could refute, a female executive in the distance couldn’t hold it in any longer. She immediately stood up and questioned without hesitation,””Who are you calling a traitorous disciple?!”
Everyone looked over when they heard the voice. When they saw the person’s appearance clearly, they all revealed a look of realization. This person’s name was Xu Xiaodong, and she was Leng Leng’s master. No wonder she was so angry.
“Hmph, Xu Xiaodong, I advise you to take note of your status. Do you think you, a mere elder candidate, have the right to speak in such an occasion?” Xue Liping glanced at Xu Xiaodong with disdain.
“You!” Xu Xiaodong was instantly flustered, but she did not know how to refute him.
Although Xue Liping’s words were infuriating, they were not completely unreasonable! (To be continued.) ”
