Chapter 6256
6256 The necessity of becoming an outer hall elder
Of course, in other people’s eyes, if the highly suspicious White Tiger continued to investigate this case, it could also be interpreted as him trying to cover up, but these were not important.
“Let’s not talk about the assassin for now. Let’s discuss the necessity of the existence of those outer hall elders!” The Green Dragon took over. As the Vermilion bird’s loyal little brother, there were some things that he had to say on behalf of the Vermilion Bird.
After a short pause, the Azure Dragon looked at The White Tiger and the Black Tortoise and continued,”Those who aren’t of my race must have different hearts! When we first set up the outer hall elders, it was to make the plan go a bit more smoothly, but after these two days, it seems that these outer hall elders aren’t of much use. Not only are they of no help, they’ll drag us down. So I suggest that we immediately disband the outer hall Elder Council and leave all matters to our cabinet Elder Council. If we can’t decide, we’ll leave it to the king. ”
The White Tiger and black Tortoise looked at each other and understood the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon’s intentions.
Putting aside the assassination, Lin Yi, Zheng Dongsheng, and Xiao Yan had become the core force that opposed the Vermillion bird’s decision in the previous meeting. The Vermillion bird’s original intention was to control the other three outer hall elders except Lin Yi, but now that they’d changed all of them, it was impossible to keep the outer hall Elder Council.
To be honest, White Tiger and black Tortoise wanted to rope in Lin Yi and the other two outer hall elders to deal with the Vermillion bird’s family. The problem was that Lin Yi and the others were full of uncertainties, and white Tiger and black Tortoise didn’t know if they had a chance to successfully recruit them.
What if they were stabbed in the back by Lin Yi’s external clan elder at a critical moment? who could they go to for justice? Therefore, the Azure Dragon’s suggestion had moved The White Tiger and black Tortoise.
Without the external clan Elder Council, the power distribution of the internal clan Elder Council would be restored to a balance. When the two sides were in a deadlock, the importance of the king of spirit beasts would be reflected.
In this way, the situation would return to what White Tiger and black Tortoise had hoped for, and the king of spirit beasts would rise again. From this point of view, it was not unacceptable to disband the external clan elders.
After weighing the pros and cons of roping in Lin Yi and the other outer hall elders and letting the king of spirit beasts take control, White Tiger made his decision almost instantly.
“It’s rare that we have the same opinion. The outer hall Council of Elders is really a useless existence. Since everyone thinks it’s better to disband, then let’s do it!” The White Tiger nodded readily. To be able to make the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon take the initiative to depose as an outer hall elder was already something worth being happy about.
As for Lin Yi, who was appointed by the king of the spirit beasts as an elder, he was nothing compared to the king of the spirit beasts in the eyes of The White Tiger. If he agreed to this, the Vermillion Bird and the Azure Dragon would be less wary of him, so why not?
“Good! The Council of Elders of the external clan has been dissolved, but their titles as external clan elders can’t be directly canceled. After all, they still have two allies. It’s enough for us to only know about this. In the future, there’s no need to call them for a meeting and then find a way to send them away so that the Council of Elders of the external clan will naturally be forgotten. Elder Vermillion Bird, what do you think of this?” The Azure Dragon was very satisfied with The White Tiger’s attitude. He had already made preparations for the follow-up.
The Vermilion Bird smiled and nodded.”Elder Azure Dragon, your arrangements are very good. However, in front of Prince Xiao Yan and the representative from the center, you have to speak with caution. You have to be tactful. Do not affect our cooperative relationship.”
In other words, Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng didn’t have anything to worry about-it didn’t matter if their attitude and words were tough, they just had to get rid of it.
Lin Yi didn’t know that he was about to be kicked out of the palace, or even the capital. He was thinking about how to get rid of Zheng Dongsheng, this follower, and leave the palace alone.
After the little spirit beasts expanded their search area, they finally found a second possible forbidden area in a remote corner at the edge of the palace. There was nothing unusual on the surface and the entrance could only be found through an array. Compared to the forbidden area in the palace, the difficulty was only higher.
The reason why he couldn’t be sure if there were any void essence chains inside was that the little spirit beasts were also blocked by the array. After all, these little guys were just puppets controlled by a wisp of the big frog’s divine sense. In the face of a truly high-level array, they were also at their wits ‘end.
Lin Yi had to go and check if this was the second chain. The problem was that it would be even more difficult for him to leave the palace after the assassination. He might not even be able to use the red dust manifestation again.
Especially since Zheng Dongsheng was following him-on one hand, Lin Yi didn’t want him to know about him. On the other hand, he was worried that the old man would be at a disadvantage if he stayed. He even thought about whether he should use the soul Catcher hand to take care of Zheng Dongsheng first and let him out after everything was done, just like how he dealt with Bao Feng.
Unfortunately, Zheng Dongsheng wasn’t going to seal himself up. Green Dragon and Central’s Black bamboo hat guy might come for him at any time. This kind of simple and violent method would be very risky.
“Elder Zheng, do you have time now? The central representative elder wants to see you. If you have time, please come with me. ” Just as Lin Yi was thinking about the second chain, a spirit beast guard ran over from another path and cupped his fists to Zheng Dongsheng politely.
Zheng Dongsheng was a little surprised. The last person he wanted to see was the man in the black bamboo hat in the center, except for Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon.
He was able to become an elder of the outer clan because of the Green Dragon’s recommendation. However, the one who recommended him to the Green Dragon was the man in the black bamboo hat from the center. Now that he was suddenly invited, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with what happened at the elder meeting.
“Well, I have some things to do with elder Lin now, so I’m afraid I can’t go with you. Please go back and tell the representative elder of the center that I’ll visit him after I’m done with my business here!” Zheng Dongsheng didn’t even think about it and directly refused the invitation of the black bamboo hat man.
Since he was already standing on the opposite side of the enemy, he did not want to court death. The black bamboo hat man’s ferocity was no less than the Vermillion Bird and the Green Dragon. On the southern island, he might have some scruples when dealing with the spirit beast clan, but he would not have any psychological burden when dealing with a small human Alchemist like him.
If Zheng Dongsheng had known that the man in the black bamboo hat was able to fight the Masters of the spirit beast clan without even blinking, he might not have agreed to Lin Yi’s request and betrayed central …
“That Lord said that if elder Zheng is not free to go, he will come to find you directly. However, at that time, the solution to the problem will be more violent. I hope that elder Zheng will consider it carefully.” A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the spirit beast guard who passed the message. He knew very well what the status of the people in the center was, so Zheng Dongsheng’s refusal was extremely ridiculous in his eyes.
