Without a sense of belonging, why would the main lineage trust me?
After all, we haven't just surrendered yet. The most important thing is that we were enemies before. How could they improve our treatment if they don't trust us?
If we don't do anything good, why would people like us?
If they don’t like us, how can they give us extra rewards?
It’s good to be able to get a guaranteed minimum!
But then again, who would only think about the guaranteed minimum if they can get more?
These words...
Lu Ming said nothing.
However, the elders, at this moment, understood it thoroughly on their own.
More insightful than anyone else!
They looked at each other and saw the shrewdness in each other's eyes.
But no one said anything.
Hmm~~~
You don't say it, right?
If you don’t say anything, I won’t say anything either.
Anyway, as long as we understand it in our hearts, it's OK.
So~
A rather strange contest began.
Compare who can appease their own lineage first, and then compare whose lineage has a stronger sense of identity with the main lineage...
When it comes to a sense of identity, in fact, it should be extremely difficult to improve it.
Especially when most of the disciples have never even been to the Lanyue Sect or the main branch.
But...
The problem is that the main vein gave too much and the pills were too fragrant.
Although it may not make them instantly identify with it, it can at least instantly soothe their unpleasant emotions.
I don't hate it, and with my elders constantly working hard to find ways to improve it, this sense of identity... really came up in an instant.
Not to mention how high or how great it is.
But after all, there was a little bit of it.
Moreover, it is slowly growing over time.
The growth rate is not fast, but it is stable.
Especially when the second month's allowance is paid on time...
This sense of identity suddenly came as a surge.
Especially among disciples.
"Actually." Su Lie, the eldest senior brother of the outer sect, sighed, "I think it's not bad for us to be affiliated with the Lanyue Sect. Although the treatment is a little worse than that of the main sect, it is still a world of difference compared to before."
"Not really, right?"
Someone retorted: "Didn't Elder Lu also refine pills for us before?"
"That's just us!"
Su Lie shook his head: "It's limited to our outer sect. The brothers and sisters in the inner sect don't have it, right?"
"Besides, there is only one Elder Lu. How much can he refine? Even if he works himself to death, he can't possibly provide for the entire sect alone! You don't know how exhausted Elder Lu was when I went to ask to see him."
"Now, the alchemy lineage is responsible for the supply of elixirs and they are distributed on time. Elder Lu doesn't have to work so hard anymore. Isn't this a good thing?"
At this time, a petty-minded junior sister said: "That is true, but then again, originally only our outer sect had elixirs. If we are given some time, we may be able to surpass the inner sect brothers and sisters."
"But now everyone has it, and the inner sect has more and better elixirs. Isn't it true that we will never get ahead?"
“Isn’t this… a bad thing?”
"I feel that joining the Lanyue Sect is worse than before."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her.
Eyes...
It's like looking at an idiot.
Su Lie's face darkened instantly, and he stepped forward and waved his hand.
Bang!
With a fierce fight, he knocked the junior sister to the ground, and her face was swollen. At the same time, Su Lie shouted angrily: "Asshole!"
"Can't you be more considerate of Elder Lu... who is now the Chief Deacon?!"
"You want to tire him to death?!"
"As for the fact that the treatment of the inner sect disciples is better is a bad thing... it is nonsense. The inner sect disciples have better talents, stronger willpower, and stronger strength. Why can't they eat the elixir?"
"In which sect are inner disciples treated worse than outer disciples?"
"It's simply the opposite of Tian Gang!"
"Moreover, instead of complaining about yourself and blaming others here, why don't you practice hard, become stronger, and strive to enter the inner gate as soon as possible?"
"As long as you enter the inner gate, you will be able to enjoy better treatment and get more resources. By then, will you still think that there is nothing wrong with the inner gate having more resources than the outer gate?"
"No, you certainly won't!"
“If that day really comes, you will only curse in your heart, cursing the mere outer sect disciples or even menial disciples for having the right to enjoy such excellent resources.”
"We shouldn't give it to them. We should save it all and give it to you inner sect, right?"
Su Lie's words were very impolite, sharp as knives, and aggressive.
The sister's expression changed again and again, but in the end, she still said stubbornly: "Everyone can speak the truth, but... but putting aside the facts, isn't what I said wrong?"
Everyone: “…”
Oh, yes, yes!
You are right, everything you said is right.
God damn, let's put the facts aside.
"This selfish idiot... is hopeless." A disciple who was usually on good terms with Su Lie shook his head and sighed, "Give up."
"I think it's best to expel this kind of thing from the sect."
"~"
"yes."
Su Lie's eyes lit up: "Let's go tell the deacons and elders that this bastard is simply rebelling against Tian Gang. He will only be a disaster if he stays here. No matter how many resources we waste, he will be an ungrateful wolf that we can never tame."
"No!!"
The female disciple finally got scared and screamed, "No, you can't do this."
"I am also a disciple of the Lanyue Sect. I am eligible to receive the monthly allowance. I..."
"Whether you are qualified or not is not up to you, humph!"
“···”
Su Lie's heart was as hard as iron, and he wouldn't listen to her.
He immediately went to the outer sect deacon elder to report the matter.
This outer sect elder was just worrying about having no place to show his presence or add a few entries to his resume, so when he heard about this, his eyes lit up immediately.
Isn't this a coincidence?!
Eliminate this black sheep for Lanyue Sect...
I can't say it's a great achievement, but at least it's some achievement, right?
By then, wouldn't I be able to get more pills? !
He said quickly: "Su Lie, you have done a great job. Now that our Lanyue Sect has finally settled down and has such good resources, it is a great time for rapid development."
"This kind of black sheep will only hinder the group if it stays, and it should be eliminated!"
"Well, I'll give you a task."
"After you go back, keep silent for the time being and observe quietly to see how many black sheep there are. Once you have figured it out, I will eliminate them all!"
"So as not to alert the enemy and make them hide."
"this···"
Su Lie hesitated slightly: "Okay, but we have already said that we will come to complain. If nothing happens when we go back, is this... reasonable?"
"Why is it unreasonable? You go back and say that I, the deacon, have no business dealing with this matter, and that we are all disciples of the Lanyue Sect and have the right to freedom of speech. At the same time, you have to pretend to be very unhappy and angry."
"Only then will those people have the courage to expose themselves..."
"Yeah, that makes sense!" Su Lie understood: "Let's do it now."
“···”
······
Su Lie looks big and strong.
In fact, it is rough but also detailed.
After some operation...
He actually found thousands of outer disciples who had evil intentions and were black sheep.
Half a month later.
The outer sect steward attacked aggressively, expelled them from the sect, destroyed all their cultivation, and threw them out of the sect.
These disciples burst into tears instantly.
What to do...
It’s too late to regret!
Afterwards, the outer sect steward was not idle either, and immediately ran to report to Lu Ming. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "Such a black sheep must not be allowed to stay in our Lanyue Sect!"
"But... ahem, this is just my personal behavior. I don't know what the main vein and the sect master think."
"But don't worry, Chief Deacon. This matter is a one-person job. You just need to report it truthfully. If the sect master has any punishment, it will be me alone."
"I will never implicate you, Chief Deacon, or any of the elders!"
What he said was righteous and stern.
He was so loyal and devoted to serving the sect.
Lu Ming...
But I wanted to laugh when I heard it.
This suddenly reminded him of a sentence: "Dunking and breaking the basket? Full compensation is fine, but the whole school must be informed~!"
"However, this outer sect deacon is also a smart man."
"I want to use this method to attract the attention of the main vein, and take the opportunity to make merit and increase my presence."
"I···"
"How about giving you this chance?"
The intention of this outer sect deacon was too obvious.
Isn't it because he wants me to tell Lin Fan that he is emphasizing this? What kind of punishment? Only a patriarch with a hole in his brain would punish his own steward for such a thing.
"rest assured!"
Lu Ming responded: "I will inform the main vein about this matter."
Not only do I have to notify you, I also have to give you a reward.
You want to make achievements and get more benefits, and I want to use you as an example and publicize it.
Hey!
"It's troublesome."
The outer sect deacon went there happily.
Then···
The monthly payment period is next month.
Lu Ming directly and publicly stated that this outer sect deacon had made great contributions and was rewarded by the master, with his monthly salary doubled!
"boom!"
In just a moment, everyone was furious.
Especially the elders and deacons, their eyes were red.
The look he gave this outer sect deacon was filled with depression.
Damn it!
You got a way but you don't tell me?
Are you still one of us?!
no!
I must ask him later how he achieved this achievement. I have to learn from him!
They kept muttering this in their hearts.
After all, this person is the first person in the Haoyue lineage to "achieve merit", and the reward is so reliable, how can he not be tempted? !
Just do it!
soon.
The outer sect deacon was "surrounded".
If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you leave!
This made him look confused and helpless before he had time to get excited for long.
at last···
I can only tell the whole story.
"Hurrah!!!"
其他外门执事、长老怒了：“有这种好事你这老小子不告诉我们？我们也是外门执事、长老啊！”
“人都让你赶出去了，我们还如何立功？”
“你这老小子吃独食啊！不怕烂腚眼子吗你？”
与外门执事、长老们的愤怒不同。
内门长老此刻却是双目放光。
对啊~！
内门···
又何尝没有害群之马？
这功劳，很难拿吗？
“那什么，我还有事，先走一步！”
瞬间而已，足有十几位内门长老同时表示自己要先走一步，而他们闻言，不由对视一眼，每个人都看到了对方眼中的警惕与愤怒。
狗日的，这些家伙也想到了。
不行，我得赶紧走！
他们化作一道道流光，跑的一个比一个快~
·······
次月。
皓月一脉获得奖励的长老超过十人！
不仅仅是剔除害群之马、有异心的弟子。
甚至还有拿出自己珍藏绝学贡献给宗门的···
各种立功方式五花八门、层出不穷。
而主脉也很给面子。
只要有功劳，管你大小，都有奖励。
如此一来，长老们的积极性瞬间拉满。
认同感也是随之水涨船高···
······
九霄仙岳。
一道空间裂缝悄然出现。
姬皓月破开虚无现身，目中满是冷冽。
此刻，他的状态很不好，但···
终究是活下来了。
在困在那个宛若隔绝小世界一般的阵法之中，与暗影魔宫之人大战近三个月之久，总算是撑到最后，活下来了！
未曾被猎杀！
且暗影魔宫诸多长老，被他斩杀殆尽，只剩下宫主与三位太上长老狼狈逃窜。
其后，又费了一些手段，才终于从那小世界中脱困。
呼吸着新鲜空气，几乎耗尽一切资源与底牌的姬皓月沉默。
他想过会遇到这种事。
但却没想到，暗影魔宫竟然准备的如此充分，这是真奔着要自己命来的啊！
若非自己足够强横，底牌足够多，绝对没有半点活路。
可纵然自己有准备，却也几乎身死。
甚至连储物袋都炸裂了。
随身所带宝物，乃至他妈的本命法宝都被打爆！
“呼···”
他狠狠甩头，抛开诸多杂念，低语道：“不可再耽搁了。”
“如今我状态太差，必须第一时间恢复并突破，而后回归皓月宗，否则···定然要出大事！”
姬皓月心中发紧。
总觉得十分不安。
尤其是···暗影魔宫这些人，以如此姿态来围杀自己，岂会不知自己如今不在皓月宗内？
魔修，可是无所不用其极的存在。
他们若是联络上一些人手，对付皓月宗···
“！”
想到这里，他更是心头猛跳。
“不，不能自己吓自己。”
“没事的，皓月宗存在这么多年，底蕴深厚，又岂是那般容易对付的？”
“不能想这么多，立刻找地方恢复、突破要紧！”
“···”
他彻底抛开杂念，小心翼翼寻了一处相对安全之地疗伤。
耗费数日，总算勉强恢复，随后，不敢有丝毫停歇，立刻外出寻找仙气，准备突破事宜···
也不知之前被围困数月、几乎被斩耗尽了霉运，还是属于姬皓月的气运来临。
其后的一切，都颇为顺利。
顺利到姬皓月都有些不敢置信，甚至心里发慌！
顺利找到仙气，没出任何意外。
原本小心翼翼，唯恐突破过程中出现问题把自己给嘎了，却没想到，也是格外顺利，完全没有任何问题。
宛若自然而然、水到渠成。
甚至就如同吃饭喝水一般简单、自然。
姬皓月···
成功突破。
本以为会卡自己挺久的瓶颈，根本不存在。
吸纳第一缕仙气入体时，本以为会十分凶险。
结果···
他甚至没多大感觉便将仙气结合体内元力，成功转化为属于自己的第一缕仙力。
太顺利了！
顺利到成功之后，姬皓月睁开双眼时，都是满脸、满眼的茫然。
到底···
发生了啥？！
他一脸懵逼，完全搞不清楚状况。
再仔细感受、辨别···
“喔！”
“原来我突破了啊。”
“如今，已经是第九境？”
“该不会是心魔爆发，进入心魔幻境了吧？否则怎么可能如此顺利？”
“···”
这特么的···
顺利到自己都不敢相信！
直到好一会儿才成功接受并冷静下来，自语道：“别慌，千万不能慌！”
“这是好事儿，天大的好事儿！”
“此乃上天垂怜于我、垂怜我皓月宗！”
“合该我如此顺利突破。”
“接下来，便是稳固修为，尽可能提升，能提升到哪个地步便提升到哪个地步，而后赶回皓月宗坐镇。”
“然后···”
“清扫敌人，干掉暗影魔宫。”
“再接下来，便着手让皓月宗晋级超一流宗门吧。”
“一切···”
“都不会出问题！”
“以我如今的实力，十分笃定这一点！”
他缓缓握拳。
那远超以往的力量，让他信心倍增。
其后半月。
姬皓月依旧是顺利的出奇。
无论是寻找仙气还是炼化为己用，都没有出任何问题，到最后，足足上百道仙气被他炼化，他的修为，也成功突破到第九境一重中后阶段。
至此，姬皓月终于感到有些力不从心。
“到极限了么？”
“刚突破就能到如此程度，已然很不错了。”
“也是时候···”
“该回归了！”
姬皓月起身，浑身顿时噼里啪啦作响。
他的气势，远比之前‘缥缈’，显得仙气飘飘、判若两人。
同时。
一种无与伦比的自信在此刻蔓延开来。
“超一流宗门皓月宗，近在眼前！”
“还有···”
“暗影魔宫，你们···完了！”
“哈哈哈！”
此时此刻，姬皓月再也忍不住大笑三声，大步下山而去。
正所谓仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人？
自信心在此刻爆棚！
盲目自信？
什么叫盲目？
我！
姬皓月！
第九登仙境！
虽未成仙，却已踏上仙路。
你们···
凭什么跟我干仗？！
······
下九霄仙岳的路途，也是格外顺利。
直到山脚，都没有任何意外变故出现，这让姬皓月更为满意：“果然，时来天地皆同力，如今看来···”
“属于我姬皓月的时代，来临了！”
“虽然我并非当代绝世天骄，但黄金大世，能有所作为的，可不仅仅只是年轻人，我们这些老家伙，同样是大有可为啊。”
“而我···”
“注定要再度掀起波澜。”
“我皓月宗，也将勇攀高峰，进入全新的时代。”
“而这短时间以来，让人难以置信的顺利，便是佐证。”
“哼~！”
姬皓月当即撕裂空间赶路。
以他如今的实力，瞬移的距离自然比以往远出数十倍。
只是，仙武大陆还是太大，仅靠瞬移，多少有些不够看。
他规划出一条最适合自己如今的路线，一边瞬移、一边飞、一边借用传送阵，终于在最短的时间之内回到皓月宗。
一开始···
他还是极为忐忑的。
直到回到皓月宗附近，神识一扫，发现皓月宗周围虽然有些大战的痕迹，但整体无碍，才终于放下心来。
“果然，我的猜测没错。”
“属于我、属于皓月宗的时代，来临了！”
姬皓月正衣冠、又再三确认自己此刻的状态没有任何问题，才微微一笑，现身于人前。
他满脸古井无波、是那般的轻描淡写。
只是···
他那难以压制喜意的眼神，却还是略微将他此刻的心情出卖。
不远处···
几个内门弟子正在对练。
哼哼哈哈，表现颇为亮眼。
姬皓月只是看上一眼，便不住点头。
“嗯，不错，不错！”
“精气神都很好，不曾堕了我皓月宗的威名。”
他哈哈一笑，此刻，再也忍不住笑出声。
心情已然好到极点。
简直太妙了！
自己成功突破，皓月宗也无碍，且这些个弟子的状态，也都很好，比之前还要好出许多，无论是实力还是精气神。
方方面面都是好消息。
岂能不开心？
但···
他话音刚落，笑声才刚刚升起。
擂台上的两个内门弟子顿时脸色微变。
“可不敢乱说。”
“什么皓月宗？”
“是谁吃了熊心豹子胆了？存心跟我们过不去吗？若是下个月我等月例缩减，难道你来负责？！”
两人顿时停止交手，一通指责。
姬皓月的笑容顿时僵在脸上：“(O_O)？？？！”
而两名内门弟子也瞧见姬皓月，顿时浑身一震、头皮发麻：“？？？！”
“老···”
“老宗主？！”
两人对视一眼，一时间，都慌了神。
完全不知该做点什么才好，甚至连跑路都忘记了，被姬皓月逮个正着：“你们在说些什么乱七八糟的？！”
“什么叫什么皓月宗？！”
此时此刻，姬皓月是真的懵了啊！
懵逼之余，还没来由的十分心慌。
这特么···
到底什么情况啊这？
他们的话，我怎么听不懂？
我就说个皓月宗，咋就成乱说了？
神经病吧！
我特么回我自己的皓月宗，说一句皓月宗，你们说我乱说？本宗主人都傻了好吧，到底什么鬼啊这？
还有···
什么他妈的叫他妈的老宗主？
“你们给本宗主说清楚！！！”
姬皓月脸上的笑容瞬间消失，只剩下满腔怒火：“本宗主不在的这段时间，究竟发生了什么？”
“你们方才的话语，又是何意？！”
“这···”
两个内门弟子几乎被吓懵，看着愤怒的姬皓月，哪里还敢多说？
万一说错了···
还不得被他弄死啊？！
“这个，我们也不知啊。”
“是啊，老···老宗主，我们只是平平无奇的内门弟子，怎么可能知道那许多？不过是上面怎么说，我们就怎么说罢了。”
“是极是极，老宗主，您想了解的话，还是去找长老他们吧。”
“对对对，各位长老肯定很清楚。”
见两人明显知道些什么却如此推诿、不敢开口的模样，姬皓月顿时气不打一处来。
“你···你们！”
“好，很好，当真是好的很呐！”
“滚！”
轰！
一声低喝。
两名弟子顿时如遭雷击，七窍飙血，气息也随之萎靡不振。
已然是身受重伤。
但···
两人却不敢有半点耽搁，立刻互相搀扶着跑远了。
至于开口···
那更是一个字都不敢说。
马德，刚才差点死了！！！
······
姬皓月从两人身上收回目光，却并未第一时间去寻诸位长老，而是在皓月宗内部穿行，观望···
很快，他发现一个让他又惊又怒的事实。
皓月宗弟子的精神面貌，简直发生了翻天覆地一般的变化！
全都变得积极向上了！
实力也明显上升了一个小台阶。
按理说，这是好事儿，自己应该开心才是。
可这不正常啊！
而且是明显的不正常。
这短短时间之内，皓月宗怎么可能发生如此堪称翻天覆地一般的变化？
有问题！
绝对有他妈大问题！
甚至···
他神识一扫，发现不少长老都突破了！
虽然只是一个小境界，甚至只是一小步，但数量惊人啊！
简直是成片突破。
好嘛！
弟子们突破，我还可以理解，毕竟他们境界低，结果你们这些老家伙都突破了？！
这···
究竟哪里出了问题？！
姬皓月再也忍不住，一个‘闪现’出现在议事厅内，同时，神识一扫，传音所有长老：“速来议事厅内见本宗主！”
······
速来意识厅内见本宗主！
所有长老，包括陆鸣在内，都收到姬皓月的神识传音。
陆鸣双目微眯：“这一日，终于来了么。”
“看来，姬皓月已经成功突破。”
“能否拿下他，让我揽月宗拥有第一个第九境，就看今朝了。”
“而且，我这段时间的努力是否有效果，也是时候验证一番了~”
“···”
他起身，慢悠悠赶往议事厅。
······
陆鸣···
有些许忐忑。
其余长老忐忑更盛。
毕竟最近发生的这些事儿吧，倒也不是说光彩不光彩的问题，而是···能否接受的问题。
虽然自己等人当初是被逼无奈，没有其他选择。
但是吧···
加入揽月宗之后，尤其是最近两个月，这个这个···
大家几乎都在疯狂提升主脉那边对自己的认同感，且在想方设法的立功，再加上丹药是真的香···
因此，现如今，长老们都很清楚的知道一点-——自己已经回不去了。
皓月宗？更回不去了。
何况还有誓言在呢。
还能咋办？
“唉。”
几位长老凑到一起，面色发苦：“说实在的这段时间我一直都在刻意回避这个话题，也尽量克制自己不去想这事儿。”
“但该来的终究还是要来。”
“老宗主，到底还是回来了，而且看样子，已然成功突破。”
“必然要找麻烦的。”其他人纷纷点头：“只是不知，能否安然度过呀。”
“这是必然的，只是，我吧···有些拿不定主意，不知究竟该如何是好，诸位···觉得咱们该如何应对？”
“这个嘛···”
“你以为呢？”
“···”
众人对视一眼，都没吭声。
但实则···
心里却已然有数了。
甚至绝大部分长老之间，其实并没有提前通气儿与商议，但此刻，他们心底，却多多少少有些默契。
或者说···
共识。
事已至此。
生米早已煮成熟饭。
未婚妻都是人家的了···
还能怎么办？
何况，如今，自己还觉着挺爽···
咳咳咳。
选择？
根本没得选，只能一条路走到黑了！
至于该如何面对老宗主，亦或是，万一老宗主发起飙来该如何应对这一点···
嗯···
自然是~~~
大家一同面对。
他们不再多言，纷纷赶往议事厅。
······
不多时，众人齐聚。
陆鸣想了想，还是坐在了主位之上。
长老们看在眼里，却是默不作声，毕竟早已习惯了。
但姬皓月却顿时眉头大皱：“好，好好好好，难怪现在那些弟子会称我为老宗主···陆长老，你倒是给本宗主解释解释？”
“虽然你是宗主候选人之一，且这个位置早晚是你的，但你也无需如此迫不及待吧？”
“当本宗主死了吗？”
“不敢。”
陆鸣满脸无辜，叹息道：“其实，我对宗主之位并无任何想法，之所以坐在这里，之所以会坐上这个位置，完全是被逼无奈。”
“都是被逼的呀。”
“被逼的？”姬皓月懵了，脑瓜子嗡嗡作响：“谁逼你？”
“谁能逼你，谁又会逼你？！”
“笑话。”
“难道是我宗众长老逼你不成？”
姬皓月几乎被气笑了。
他是真的看好陆鸣，也是真想让陆鸣当下一任宗主，但你这么玩儿···着实有些过分啊！
就好比皇位交替···
是，我的确要把皇位传给你，但我出个门，你直接就给我干成太上皇···这就过分了吧？
还说是被逼的！
长老就如同我的妃子。
我的妃子，还能背叛我，逼你当宗主不成？
简直是笑话！
把本宗主当傻子了啊这是！
然而。
面对他的质问，陆鸣还没吭声，便听太上大长老顾青云幽幽道：“宗主，这个···此事，的确是我们这些长老逼的。”
姬皓月懵了。
豁然转头，满头问号：“(O_O)？？？！”
他无比错愕：“你们···逼的？”
二长老点头：“的确是我们逼的。”
“此事···与总执事无关。”
“当初情况危急，宗不可一日无主，我等也是没有其他办法了，唯有让总执事暂且担任宗主之位，率领我宗化解灭宗之危啊。”
“！”
“等等！”
姬皓月面色骤变：“灭宗之危？”
“发生了什么！”
“此事···”
陆鸣叹道：“说来就话长了，还得从老宗主你离开皓月宗，去往九霄仙岳寻求突破之后说起。”
“···”
解释之余，陆鸣突然想到个问题。
一年一度的小劫难，就在今日~
所以···
就应在姬皓月身上了？
若是处理不好，这可就不是‘小劫难’咯。
“三宗围攻，我宗岌岌可危。”
“当时，又联系不上老宗主你，且你的命简都出现了裂痕，自身难保。”
“我等没有任何办法，唯有孤注一掷···”
大长老接过话题，道：“也就是此刻，我们求总执事担任宗主之位，总执事万般推脱，但在我等坚持之下，却也只能同意。”
“然后···”
“···”
姬皓月麻了。
尴尬挠头，道：“如此，倒是情有可原。”
“咳。”
“陆···”
“陆宗主，方才是我太过急迫错怪于你了，抱歉。”
姬皓月此刻是真的尴尬，但却更担心危机，便追问道：“那之后呢？”
“陆鸣担任宗主之后，便成功化解危机了？”
“哪有那般简单。”
陆鸣长叹一声：“三宗精锐尽出，还带来大量散修，第八境修士都已超过三百之数，数倍于咱们。”
“纵然我几乎拼的反噬而亡，却也只能与诸位长老一同联手斩杀他们数人而已。”
“其后，便被逼的只能龟缩阵法之内不出。”
“本想坚持到老宗主您归来···”
陆鸣看了姬皓月一眼。
后者顿时更加尴尬。
“我···”
“咳，我当初也遭遇了凶险，暗影魔宫之人早有准备，其宫主带着不少精锐辅以诡异阵法围杀于我，我是自身难保···”
“没有怪老宗主的意思。”陆鸣叹道：“只是···”
“当时真的走投无路了。”
大长老点头：“的确是走投无路了，最无奈的是，还有个该死的水跳子在搞鬼，屡次三番破坏护宗大阵之阵眼，导致我们的护宗大阵不断削弱。”
“当时，真的是岌岌可危啊。”
众长老眨巴着眼。
全都悄然看向大长老。
这···
是贼喊捉贼？
首先排除自己的嫌疑吗？
“水跳子？！”
姬皓月神色一变，随即恍然道：“也对，若是没有水跳子，我的行踪，又岂会被暗影魔宫掌握的那般清楚···”
“那后来呢？！”
"How did you resolve the crisis afterwards?"
Thinking of that situation, Ji Haoyue felt nervous.
There are wolves lurking around and tigers watching us eagerly.
There are also water jumpers causing trouble inside...
Internal and external troubles!
If you are not careful, the clan will be destroyed and people will die.
"I'll tell you what happened next."
The second elder sighed and stood up: "Everyone has his own responsibility. Since I was the one who proposed the proposal, I should bear the responsibility."
"If the old sect master has any dissatisfaction or wants to take action, just come at me."
"you···"
Ji Haoyue's expression kept changing. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, this tone, these words... were obviously problematic!
He felt panic for no reason: "What did you do?"
"Nothing."
The second elder said calmly: "It's just to find a way out for Haoyue Sect."
"And it is..."
"The only way to survive."
"At that time, we had no other choice. Our sect could only choose to join and merge with the Lanyue Sect, become a part of it, and seek the protection of the Lanyue Sect to survive the disaster."
“???!”
Ji Haoyue was completely confused.
His eyes were wide open and his head was buzzing.
he···
I couldn't believe everything I heard and saw at the moment, and there was only one thought in my mind.
damn it···
I am really trapped in the illusion of my inner demon, right?
Otherwise, how could we hear such news?
"Old Sect Master, please don't be anxious."
The second elder sighed again and said, "I know this is hard to accept and outrageous, but given the situation at the time, it was indeed the only way to survive."
"Just listen to my analysis..."
He recounted his original analysis in detail and clearly.
Then he added: "Lin Fan also swore to give us enough sovereignty, dignity and power. Moreover, it was only after that that we learned that the people from the Lanyue Sect had already arrived."
"And it's not just the Lanyue Sect!"
"They called on their friends and brought more people with them than the three sects."
"But before that, they are not thinking of coming to help us or save us, but are preparing to take advantage of our misfortune and kill us while we are sick."
"If we had not merged into the Lanyue Sect by accident and become the Haoyue branch of the Lanyue Sect, they would have definitely taken action after the formation was broken."
"In other words, if we don't do this, our Haoyue Sect will definitely have no way to survive."
"you···"
"I···"
"this?!"
Ji Haoyue was numb. For a moment, his heart was in a mess and his mind was a mess.
"Wait, let me sort it out."
"so···"
"My Haoyue Sect is gone?!!"
Staring at everyone, Ji Haoyue was completely dumbfounded.
My head is buzzing.
I am Haoyue Sect...
What the hell is the big Haoyue Sect, but it disappeared just because I left for a few months???
It's not that simple.
Isn’t it so outrageous?
"Besides, it's not the kind where the clan is exterminated by others, but..."
"Deserted to the enemy and became a branch of the Lanyue Sect???"
"this?!"
reason?!
What a bullshit reason.
No matter how good the reason is, it can't be like this!
How can I face my ancestors?
How can I face people in the future?
It would be better if we all died together!
Ji Haoyue immediately became furious: "Okay, okay."
"You guys are doing great!"
"It has only been a short time since I left, but the Haoyue Sect has already been destroyed. If I come back later, I am afraid they will not even recognize me, right? Ah?!" (End of this chapter)
