Chapter 61: You don’t find it disgusting, but I do!
In the meeting hall of the Demonic Cult's main palace, Baichuan stood in the center of the hall, with Heijiang, and several other elders and deacons standing beside him.
And now, sitting on the position of leader that was originally occupied by Tan Tai Lie was Tan Tai Yin.
Bai Chuan clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, the Quanzhen Sect has gone too far. Not only have they teamed up with other sects to oppress our sect, but now they've even made our leader's whereabouts unknown, even though he's still alive. If we don't get back at them, the other sects will think our Tianmo Sect is a coward."
As Bai Chuan finished speaking, Deacon Wang Cangming immediately spoke up, "Indeed, I heard that the Quanzhen Sect was severely weakened after the Demon Slayer Alliance. We should seize the opportunity to pursue them and wipe out the Quanzhen Sect without a single survivor."
Upon hearing this, the other elders nodded in agreement.
But looking at Tan Tai Yin, who was the leader, he looked calm and at ease, as if he was watching a show. Leaning on the armrest of the chair, he looked more like a devil than Tan Tai Lie.
Hei Jiang secretly glanced at Tan Tai Yin's expression, and when he saw that he didn't say a word, Hei Jiang retorted, "No!"
Baichuan and Wang Cangming were stunned and looked at Heijiang. Baichuan asked, "Great Elder, what do you mean?"
"That's right. The Quanzhen Sect is so arrogant. If we swallow this humiliation, the people from the Nine Sects and One Gang will no longer take our Tianmo Sect seriously!"
Hearing what Baichuan and Wang Cangming said, Heijiang said with a cold expression: "Do you know why I say that?"
The two looked at each other, neither of them understanding what he was up to.
"The other sects call the Heavenly Demon Sect a demon sect. If we take advantage of our victory now and pursue them, won't we really become the demon they call a murderer?"
"You can't pretend it didn't happen. The Quanzhen Sect teamed up with several other major sects to humiliate the leader. You can swallow this anger, but I can't!"
Baichuan rolled his eyes at Heijiang. As the Great Elder, he did not set an example but only wanted to shrink his head and hide. He really did not live up to the title of Great Elder.
Hei Jiang simply ignored Bai Chuan's dissatisfaction, clasped his fists and said to Tan Tai Yin, "Young Master, I have a plan."
Tan Tai Yin raised his eyes and said with a long tone, "Oh~ Tell me about it."
"Now that the leader is gone, we are like a pile of loose sand. We must be wary of losing our composure. I think the only way to deal with the major sects now is to make peace and open our sect to invite them to negotiate peace."
Before Heijiang could finish his words, Baichuan rejected him: "I don't agree! If you like being a grandson, go ahead and be one, but don't count me in!"
Heijiang was immediately enraged, pointing at Baichuan's nose and saying, "Second Elder, what are you talking about? I'm just considering the overall situation..."
"You're so considerate of the overall situation. Why don't you just kneel down and lick their toes? They've already climbed over your head and pooped, and you're still happily taking it. Don't you think it's disgusting? I do!"
Baichuan's mouth is very vicious. He scolded Heijiang and made him look like a nobody.
Every word he said pierced people's hearts, like a blade dipped in arsenic, which could make a living person die of anger and then bring a dead person back to life.
Heijiang was so angry that his face turned red and white, and veins popped on his forehead. He pointed at Baichuan with a trembling finger and cursed: "Baichuan, you are so vulgar..."
"Enough! Stop arguing." Tan Tai Yin interrupted when the two were on the verge of a fight.
He looked at Bai Chuan, coughed lightly, and slowly said, "I understand that the Second Elder is reluctant to accept this, but we must also consider the overall situation. Now that Ah Lie is gone, we must be even more cautious."
Bai Chuan felt something was wrong when listening to what Tan Tai Yin said. Just as he was about to speak, Tan Tai Yin continued.
"If we insist on being tough and fight to the death with several major sects, we won't get any benefits. Why not..."
He paused, narrowing his eyes slightly. A subtle calculation flashed across his eyes. "We should send out invitations to heroes in the name of our sect, inviting knowledgeable people from all sects to come. Under the guise of discussing the truth, we can actually negotiate. This way, we can save face for our sect and also find a way to turn things around."
When Baichuan heard this, he immediately became anxious. Isn't this the same as what Heijiang said just now?
To put it bluntly, it means that you don't want to avenge the leader, but you want to sit down and have a drink and tea with the enemy.
"But the young leader..."
"The matter has been settled. Second Elder, there is no need to say anything more." Tan Tai Yin did not give Bai Chuan a chance to refute.
He then turned to Heijiang and said, "Leave this matter to the Great Elder. Make sure the other sects know the true intentions of the Heavenly Demon Sect without losing dignity."
Hearing this, Heijiang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will definitely live up to the young master's trust."
Baichuan and Wang Cangming looked at each other. Although they were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to propose peace again.
Now that Tan Tai Lie's whereabouts are unknown, the only one who can make the decision in the Demonic Cult is Tan Tai Yin.
Baichuan always remembered that Tan Tai Lie saved his life during the sect competition. Even though Tan Tai Yin was not happy to hear it, he still mustered up the courage to remind him.
"Then... I dare to ask the young leader to send someone to find the leader. According to the onlookers that day, although the leader was seriously injured, he survived because of the young lady and the mountain eagle's desperate protection. The most urgent task now should be to bring the leader back."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Tan Tai Yin's deep black eyes, and he felt indignant in his heart: Those Quanzhen Sect's bunch of people who only had to eat for free, they actually let him escape with so many people.
Looking at Baichuan's worried look, Tan Tai Yin just felt annoyed.
"I will arrange for Ah Lie to return. Now that we have finished speaking, please leave. The Great Elder will stay."
Baichuan, along with Wang Cangming and a few others, walked out of the conference hall under the watchful gaze of Tan Tai Yin.
Ye Lan and Chu Xiao, who were waiting outside, saw Bai Chuan finally come out and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Master, what did the young leader say?"
Bai Chuan shook his head and said helplessly, "Let's go back first."
"yes!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Chu Xiao hurriedly asked, "Uncle Master, why didn't my master come out?"
Hearing the question, Bai Chuan looked at Chu Xiao with a complicated expression, recalling the scenes of the three of them following Tan Tai Lie to Jiuyaotai. He patted Chu Xiao's shoulder and said earnestly, "Kid, don't forget your original intention."
After saying that, Bai Chuan took Ye Lan and left first.
Chu Xiao looked at the two's backs, scratching his head in confusion, and muttered softly, "Uncle Master, what do you mean by this?"
Inside the meeting hall, Tan Tai Yin slowly descended from the high platform and strolled over to Hei Jiang. He said admiringly, "Great Elder, you understand the general situation very well. Since you share my aspirations, please don't let me down in the future."
Hearing this, Heijiang recalled a scene that happened half a month ago.
That was at his residence. Tan Tai Yin's sudden visit that day caught him off guard.
"Why did the young leader come here suddenly without sending anyone to inform us?" Heijiang hid the panic on his face and pretended to be calm.
Tan Tai Yin walked straight into the house, took a quick look around, and suddenly asked, "Why does this room smell like blood?"
When Heijiang heard this, a flash of panic crossed his face, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Maybe it's because of the rain for many days, and the house is damp."
Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Yin curled his lips into a wicked smile, leaned closer to Hei Jiang and asked, "Oh? Really? Then why isn't your wife here?"
