Murong Xue thought of something and couldn't help but sneer on her face.
Yes, the opinions of the disciples are nothing, although this time the selection of the saint even allowed the disciples to participate in choosing the saint in their minds.
But in fact, the most critical factor is still in the hands of the top leaders of Wanhua Holy Land. Even if all the disciples of Wanhua Holy Land voted together, it would only be enough for 100,000 votes, so the final decision still lies with the top leaders of Wanhua Holy Land.
Thinking of this, Murong Xue couldn't help but look at her with hope that she would like her father Murong Huang. Murong Huang naturally knew what Murong Xue was thinking, so he coughed before speaking righteously.
"Quiet!"
As Emperor Murong spoke, the disciples of the Wanhua Holy Land present finally quieted down and looked at Emperor Murong.
Emperor Murong said without hesitation.
"Everyone, disciples of our Wanhua Holy Land always need the approval of our high-ranking officials before they can get married, especially the Holy Maidens. But now Su Qiaoran has rashly married a stranger, which has violated the rules of our Wanhua Holy Land."
"Therefore, I declare that Su Qiaoran's position as Saintess will be abolished this time, and will be replaced by the next best person, Murong Xue!"
Hearing her father's words, Murong Xue felt excited and looked at Su Qiaoran with eyes full of pride and provocation.
But at this moment, the Great Elder spoke.
"Holy Lord, this seems a bit inappropriate. Qiao Ran is the most powerful genius in the history of our Wanhua Holy Land. He reached the peak of the Great Sage before the age of a hundred. I think we should show some leniency to Qiao Ran."
"That's right, Holy Lord. Besides, we still don't know who Qiao Ran's Taoist partner is. If he's also a genius, I think we can give Qiao Ran a chance to continue to be the Holy Maiden of my Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land."
The second elder also spoke, and after the first and second elders spoke, the third and fourth elders also spoke.
"Yes, it's really unfair to dethrone Qiao Ran just because of this one thing."
"I feel the same way. We must give Qiao Ran a chance."
Upon hearing that the four guardian elders had all stood up, a trace of anger flashed across Murong Huang's face. It was obvious that he had not expected that a mere Su Qiaoran would cause the four guardian elders to stand up.
To know what a Dharma Protector Elder is, one’s cultivation must reach the late Quasi-Emperor level to be called a Dharma Protector Elder.
In the Wanhua Holy Land, or in all the holy lands, only those at the Saint King level can become outer sect elders, only those at the Supreme level can become inner sect elders, and only those at the late Quasi-Emperor level or above can become guardian elders.
Among them, except for the first elder and the second elder, the other three elders are in the late quasi-emperor stage, while the first elder and the second elder are in the peak quasi-emperor stage.
After the five guardian elders, only the fifth elder was Murong Huang's man, so after seeing the first elder and others stand up, the fifth elder came to Murong Huang without hesitation and spoke.
"Everyone, we have been colleagues for so long, and you should all know that sect rules cannot be changed. Our Wanhua Holy Land has been able to remain strong for so many years because of these sect rules. I admit that Su Qiaoran's talent is indeed the most powerful saint in the history of our Wanhua Holy Land, but we cannot set this precedent for Su Qiaoran."
"If the sect rules are changed at will, where will the dignity of our Wanhua Holy Land be?"
"Besides, Murong Xue's talent is only slightly inferior to Su Qiaoran's. Letting Murong Xue become a Saint Maiden wouldn't be considered a loss of face for our Wanhua Holy Land. As for Su Qiaoran, our Wanhua Holy Land won't punish her for her mistakes, but we won't let her become a Saint Maiden either."
“This is the best solution I think at the moment.”
Upon hearing the words of the fifth elder, the second elder immediately started cursing.
"Get lost! How can this be compared? Qiao Ran and Murong Xue are of similar age, but one is at the peak of the Great Sage, and the other is at the peak of the Saint. There's absolutely no comparison. If it were any other time, I would definitely not say anything, but now they're trying to kill a promising young talent. How can I just sit back and watch? Anyway, I'm putting this out there today. If Su Qiao Ran isn't a Saint, then she might as well not stay in the Myriad Flowers Holy Land!"
As the Second Elder finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. They had not expected that the Second Elder would go to such lengths for Su Qiaoran.
When Emperor Murong heard this, his expression changed slightly and he spoke gloomily.
"Second Elder, if you take back your words now, I can still pretend I didn't hear you. But what do you think our Wanhua Holy Land is?"
Before the second elder could speak, the first elder comforted the second elder and then spoke.
"Holy Lord, your treatment of Su Qiaoran is truly inappropriate. If Qiaoran's talent was ordinary, we would definitely not say anything. But even if you were Holy Lord, you would only be at the Saint level at Qiaoran's age."
"And with Qiaoran's talent, it's not impossible for him to lead our Wanhua Holy Land to a new peak. So my suggestion is to give him a lenient punishment. As for that Taoist partner, we can kill him, but the most important thing is to make Su Qiaoran continue to be a willing disciple of our Wanhua Holy Land."
The moment the Great Elder finished speaking, he inexplicably felt a chill for some reason, but he soon didn't care about it. He was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. In the entire Xuantian Realm, who else could hurt him except the Saint Lord-level figures? It was just an illusion.
After hearing what the Great Elder and others said, Emperor Murong couldn't help but ponder for a while, and only spoke after a long while.
"If that's the case, then I can only let Su Qiaoran become my direct disciple. As for the position of Saint, Su Qiaoran can no longer take on the position. If that's the case, then let Murong Xue become the new Saint."
Although the Great Elder and others were somewhat hesitant about Emperor Murong's decision, they did not reject it. After all, what they wanted was for Su Qiaoran to be used by their Wanhua Holy Land.
If a genius of this level could grow up, then their Wanhua Holy Land would be able to surpass the other three holy lands and become the strongest force in the Xuantian Realm.
Of course, they just don’t know how powerful the Wu Chamber of Commerce is, otherwise they wouldn’t dare to have such a strange idea.
After making the decision, Emperor Murong turned around and looked at everyone present, staring at Su Qiaoran and spoke.
"Now, after discussions between this Saint Lord and the elders, we all agree that Su Qiaoran is no longer suitable to be a Saint, so we have decided to appoint Murong Xue as the Saint."
"As for Su Qiaoran, after careful consideration, this Saint Lord has decided to accept her as his personal disciple. I wonder if you are willing, Su Qiaoran?"
