Chapter 272 Heading to Renjia Town's Mortuary, the Situation in the North!
The elder who was scolded sneered and looked at Shi Shaojian: "A mere junior, yet so arrogant. It is evident that Shi Jian's followers are lacking."
The elders of the other sects shook their heads inwardly, pondering countermeasures.
Mao Chunhua frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Shi Jian, you can't even discipline your disciple. How can you be the sect leader? I think we should postpone the matter of becoming sect leader!"
"Okay, let's postpone it for now."
"Yes, indeed. Let's postpone the matter of the sect leader's abdication for now."
The other elders echoed this sentiment.
..............................
For a moment, Shi Jian was speechless. The sect leader had not expected that the elders who were originally neutral would also turn against him.
Somewhat annoyed, he still hurriedly said, "This rebellious disciple is ignorant, why drag Shi Jian into it? As the senior brother, Shi Jian is always on the go, it is only natural that he has not disciplined his disciple well. It's just that Shi Jian did not see through Ni Tu's character. Elders, please think about it carefully."
He cursed them inwardly, thinking they were a bunch of old foxes who had definitely been bribed!
But he's overthinking it.
Chizuru didn't bribe anyone at all!
Instead, the neutral elders felt that Chizuru was more suitable to be the sect leader!
There is no other reason.
Some time ago, Qianhe raised an altar and summoned people, directly attracting the Three Mao True Lords and several Grand Masters and Grandmasters!
This is quite a sensation!
A Taoist priest can usually summon people, but it's a different story when the patriarch himself comes to check on someone.
It is evident that the patriarch highly valued this child.
The underworld's grandmaster also revealed some information to them, saying that Qianhe was astonishingly talented and would be able to ascend to heaven in the future!
These words have already made some of the elders waver in their beliefs.
There's no way around it. It's like in a family. You call for help, and the first generation ancestor comes down, followed by the second, third, and fourth generations of ancestors to take on the burden.
Do you think this descendant might be favored by their ancestors?
Furthermore, with the ancestor from the underworld personally coming up, things become quite different!
Maoshan is not Maoshan belonging to any one person, but Maoshan belonging to everyone!
Unlike the Dragon Tiger Sect, where sons inherit their fathers' businesses!
.......................
However, many elders shook their heads at this point, feeling that Shi Shaojian's behavior indeed reflected Shi Jian's poor teaching.
"I think we should reconsider the choice of sect leader."
"Yes, if all else fails, we can ask the grandmasters in the underworld and see what they say."
"I think it works!"
The elders of Maoshan chatted amongst themselves, while some elders engaged in private conversations.
Although they spoke softly, who were the people around them?
How could I not hear it?
"Hey, Old Chen, what do you think of Qianhe?"
“Qianhe? Qianhe is certainly excellent, but Shijian entered the sect earlier and has more seniority. He has now also entered the Celestial Master realm. With Shijian as the sect leader, he will definitely be able to lead Maoshan to a more glorious future.” Elder Chen shook his head and still stood with Shijian.
Shi Jian was secretly delighted, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Well, I think Shi Jian has achieved some success, but..."
"But what?"
"nothing."
...All of these elders' conversations were overheard by one person.
He is Shi Shaojian.
Shi Shaojian grinned triumphantly in the crowd, thinking that he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the future by relying on his father's power.
What beautiful Taoist nun isn't there?
Thinking about this, he fantasized in his mind.
However, many Maoshan Taoist priests secretly shook their heads, as they were the ones who most wanted Qianhe to take over as sect leader.
After all, they had participated in the Xiangxi and Dafangbo incidents and knew how formidable Qianhe was!
........................
Just as everyone was discussing this, the communication talismans beside the various Maoshan Taoist priests all started burning, attracting the attention of all the elders. They wondered what kind of changes these sudden communication talismans would bring.
The next second, Lin Fengjiao's voice came out.
That's because the apprentice messed things up this time, letting the ghosts who were watching the ghost show escape!
These words ignited a powder keg in everyone present, who all accused Qiu Shengwen of being unreliable for letting the ghost escape and causing chaos among the people!
"You insolent fools! What are Lin Fengjiao's two disciples doing, acting so recklessly!" The sect leader immediately reprimanded them.
Everyone present was filled with righteous indignation.
"Yes, Lin Fengjiao is a good person, but her two apprentices are really useless and make a laughing stock."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"I think they should be punished properly this time!"
"Well, that's how it is. Then let Senior Brother Shi Jian go!"
The elders and Taoist priests were all chatting.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to this matter. Shi Jian and the sect leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no longer any argument about the position of sect leader.
Shi Shaojian was still completely bewildered, unaware that he had just committed a grave offense and was almost punished.
"Shi Jian, go to Lin Fengjiao's mortuary in Renjia Town!" the sect leader shouted to Shi Jian.
"Yes, disciple will go and take a look right away!"
"it is good!"
Shi Jian then led the other Taoist priests to Renjia Town, while the Maoshan Taoist priests who were stationed outside also went to Lin Fengjiao's mortuary!
