There was silence in the main hall.

There was nothing wrong with what Jiang Li'an said: if one were to compete with Wei Dongliu in the ability to govern a sect, there was indeed no one on the scene who could produce results comparable to his.

After all, there are not many sects in the world like Fanshengdao that have potential and foundation but cannot exert sufficient strength - at least among the Six Paths, it is the only one.

But... who says that a leader must be good at governing a sect?

Wen Yang thought about his counterattack and was about to speak, but he only heard Lingyun Zhenren laugh and say:

"Yes, when it comes to the ability to plan and strategize, we in the Heavenly Demon Sect are convinced by Sect Master Wei."

Wen Yang: ???

Sure enough! The Heavenly Demonic Path and the Mortal Path have indeed been linked together behind the scenes!

It should be noted that among the five paths present, Shura and Donghuang actually have no ability to compete for the leader. Most of the time they just compete symbolically, and then wait for the other three paths to discuss the final result and then just say "I agree".

The only ones who can truly compete for and decide the leadership are the Yin Gui Dao, Tian Mo Dao, and Mortal Dao.

In the past, when the Mortal Dao was weak, the Yin Ghost Dao and the Heavenly Demon Dao were fighting each other, and they tried to win over the Mortal Dao to support them.

Now that Fan Sheng Dao has risen again, it stands to reason that the eldest and second in command should cooperate and join forces to kill the third in command.

As a result, the Heavenly Demonic Sect not only did not help suppress the Mortal Sect, but instead colluded with it, giving it the green light and escorting it all the way, making it so that the Ghost Sect is now unable to do anything to it... What is going on?

Wen Yang looked at Jiang Li'an silently, thinking that the problem might be with his old friend.

She is from the Heavenly Demon Sect and a direct disciple of the Master Zizai. She is also the wife of the Sect Master and deputy Sect Master of the Mortal Sect. It is obvious that she is the link between the two sects.

There had never been a similar person before, because both sects would worry that she would transfer benefits to the other side. But now that Jiang Monu regarded herself as a cultivator of the Mortal Dao, she always tried to gain benefits for Wei Dongliu, and the Heavenly Demon Dao did not show any dissatisfaction, which was really strange.

She was thinking in this puzzled way, and heard Jiang Li'an continue to ask:

"Any objections? If everyone agrees, then the matter of the leader will be settled..."

"I have a question." Wen Yang said, "Don't you say that to become the leader of the alliance, you need the consent of all six paths?"

"There are only five here now, and there is one that has not yet expressed its position. Have you forgotten?"

Everyone looked strange when they heard this.

Although he is the head of the Six Paths, Hell Path never appears in public. This has been a common practice for thousands of years.

Wen Yang brought this up out of the blue because he was sure that Hell Dao would not say anything, so he was trying to delay the battle here and was going back to discuss countermeasures with Venerable White Bone!

Jiang Lian sneered and said:

"Since he didn't attend, he naturally agreed to this. Why should we force him to express his opinion? In my opinion..."

"If you don't get any recognition, you are not worthy of the position of co-leader." Wen Yang simply acted like a rogue, "This is what you just recognized, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Li stared at her coldly, his expression darkening.

You little bitch, you deliberately spread rumors about my husband within the Yin Gui Dao. Do you really think I won’t make trouble for you?

If it weren't for our past friendship, I would have killed you long ago!

She was about to open her mouth to refute when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.

It was her husband Wei Dongliu behind her, signaling her to be patient and look ahead.

Jiang Li looked forward and saw that in the center of the hall, in the void, several lines of text suddenly appeared, as if an invisible hand was writing with ink:

"Wei is the leader, and Hell Dao seconded the motion."

Now the hall fell into complete silence.

“Hahahaha!” Donghuang Daoist Wanling suddenly laughed out loud. “Interesting, really interesting! The Hell Dao, which has never appeared in public, has actually come out to speak for the Mortal Dao!”

She narrowed her narrow eyes, her gaze was cold, and she swept across the people present:

"In that case, let's not argue anymore. Let's just leave it at that."

"Wait!" Wen Yang was still struggling, "Just these few lines of text may not prove that the meaning behind them is hell..."

"Isn't this the Hell Realm?" Master Jiukong of Shura Dao asked curiously, "This is the main hall of the Yin Gui Dao, your sect's own territory."

"Except for the elusive Hell Road, who else can leave a message in the main hall of your clan?"

"I think maybe it was directed and acted by the Yin Gui Dao." Lingyun Zhenren of the Tianmo Dao smiled maliciously, "I heard that Daoist Lianshan and Sect Master Wei have a very deep friendship? In fact, Daoist Lianshan also agrees to let Sect Master Wei be the leader, but it is not easy to say it for the benefit of the sect behind him. He can only pretend to be the work of the Hell Dao to make things a foregone conclusion. It's really well-intentioned, isn't it?"

Wen Yang was speechless, knowing that if he continued to unreasonably obstruct him, who knows what disgusting things these despicable people would make up to slander him, so he simply sat back with a cold face and remained silent.

Thus, the matter of the Six Paths leader was settled.

The Fansheng Dao was in charge of the overall planning, with Wei Dongliu as the leader. The Yin Gui Dao, Tian Mo Dao, Shura Dao, and Dong Huang Dao each sent out monks to join the alliance and besiege Kunlun!

Wei Dongliu returned to Zhongtai Peak and reported the matter to the Blood Sea Ancestor. He also wrote a declaration of war in his name and asked the envoy to deliver it to Kunlun.

Let’s not talk about Kunlun accepting the challenge for now.

A few days later, the five sects, led by their respective leaders, went to Mount Wutai to discuss tactics.

The headquarters of the Fanshengdao sect was built on the site of the former exterminated Tongxuan sect, without any regard for the so-called "unlucky sites are unlucky", which made all the sect leaders secretly amazed.

After all, in their opinion, Mount Wutai is so big, why choose this site? Moreover, it is a site where a clan was exterminated. In addition to explaining that Wei Dongliu wanted to use this as a warning and to deter the clan, there seemed to be no other possibility.

The head of the Yin Gui Dao, Fu Xie, gave mostly favorable comments:

"Don't worry about whether to destroy the sect or not. When the Tongxuan Sect was destroyed, the murderer made a large-scale sacrifice to the living souls here, but was later struck by thunder. Now the surrounding area is full of evil spirits. If we set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation here, the power will be increased by at least 30% by taking advantage of this evil spirit. Sect Master Wei has a good vision!"

"What's the big deal?" Demon Bone Master retorted, "I think he just wants to save trouble and doesn't want to find another place to build a large-scale project."

"You know shit!" Master Fu Xie scolded unceremoniously, "If you can have even a third of the ability of Master Wei, I'll let you be the master!"

Demon Bone Master remained silent. Turning around, she saw Wen Yang talking to several Mortal Dao Masters, so she called her:

"Hey, Lianshan! What are you doing over there?"

Wen Yang came back with a book and said with a smile:

"These Mortal Dao cultivators are really interesting... They compiled Sect Master Wei's remarks into a book for daily study and understanding. I just flipped through it and found quite a few novel ideas about how to govern the sect."

Upon hearing this, Master Fu Xie was also curious, so he took the book and flipped through it a few times:

"Well, yes, it is quite interesting indeed."

"Father, are you joking?" Master Mogu sneered, "This book is just..."

"Shut up!" Master Fu Xie interrupted him, "If you say one more word, I'll make you copy this book a hundred times!"
