"Cheng Yinyin, I've known this secret for a long time, but for the future of our Xianyin Pavilion, I've kept it a secret for you. But now, you've actually invited a man to live on our Baihua Island, and even made him the Supreme Elder, putting him above us. You can't blame me for being ruthless. Humph, I passed on the title of Pavilion Master to you, so I can abolish you right now. From now on, you are no longer Pavilion Master. From today on, your martial arts will be stripped and you will be expelled from the sect. Zhao Linger will also be treated the same way as you. Someone, come here!"
The Great Elder said coldly, "No mercy."
The elders around her took a step forward at the same time.
"Capture her, cripple her martial arts, and throw her into the water dungeon. Wait until the new Pavilion Master takes office, and then I'll deal with her!"
There was no emotion in the Great Elder's words.
Several elders were about to take action.
"How dare you!"
Cheng Yinyin yelled.
Suddenly, the conference room fell silent.
"What? You still want to resist? Or do you hope that someone outside the sect will save you?"
The Great Elder finally glanced at Tang Bao, but did not take him seriously.
How could a guy in his early twenties catch her eye?
Cheng Yinyin was furious: "According to the sect's rules, I really can't take on the position of Pavilion Master, but I confessed this to you back then, and it was you who made me Pavilion Master. Now you're using this matter to make trouble. Don't you think you're despicable? Also, even if you want to expel my mother and me from Xianyin Pavilion, you don't have to abolish our martial arts, right? Isn't this a bit too much? You know, I'm still the Pavilion Master. You're interfering with my power. According to the sect's rules, don't you deserve to be killed?!"
"You bastard, I'm your master, how dare you talk to me like that?!"
The Great Elder was holding a cane made of fine steel. He slammed it down on the ground, and immediately, the two-meter-long cane was deeply embedded in the marble floor.
"Grand Elder, please show some mercy."
A woman in her thirties stepped out from the crowd and knelt down.
Then, nearly a hundred people knelt down together and pleaded for Cheng Yinyin and her daughter.
There were more than 30 people who did not kneel or express their stance.
They seemed to be hoping that Cheng Yinyin's martial arts would be abolished.
"No one can plead for mercy, do you want to rebel?!"
The Great Elder snorted coldly and said, "What are you still standing there for? Take her down. If she resists, kill her without mercy!"
The five supreme elders pressed towards Cheng Yinyin together.
Zhao Linger finally couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down suddenly.
She cried, "Great Elder, please let my mother go. If you want to kill me, come after me. If you want to destroy me, then destroy my martial arts. Kill me, just let my mother go."
"Ling'er, there's no need to be nice to them. Can't you see that they are here to rebel?"
Cheng Yinyin took a breath and said harshly, "I'm so sorry I always think about you guys, humph!"
This statement has a hidden meaning.
The five elders pressed forward step by step.
Cheng Yinyin calmed down.
She glanced at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao understood and dodged, blocking the way of the five supreme elders.
Touching his nose, he smiled and said, "Are you really going to rebel?"
"Get out of the way! Who the hell are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Xianyin Pavilion?"
The Second Elder narrowed his eyes.
Tang Bao wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "Well, it seems like I'm now the First Supreme Elder of Xianyin Pavilion. Everyone here should know this, except for you old fools who still don't understand. No, you should know this too, but you just haven't been willing to admit it."
"Of course we won't admit it. Humph, when has our Xianyin Pavilion ever needed stinky men like you to point fingers at us? It's a joke. Get out of the way now, or else, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The second elder scolded coldly.
Tang Bao laughed heartily. "Smelly men? Do I stink? I can tell at a glance that you, an old woman, have lived for over a hundred years, and you probably haven't even smelled the scent of a man. Haha, you're so pitiful! Whether you admit it or not, this is the position given to me by the Pavilion Master, so it's legitimate. My status is above yours. If you don't bow to me, it's disrespectful to me. You, can I let you go? However, I really want to remind you that if you plead guilty now, perhaps I will consider giving you a chance to live. After all, it's not easy to live to this age. If you continue to act recklessly, it would be treason and rebellion. This is a serious crime, and you deserve death. Do you really want to die? For the sake of the Great Elder, are you willing to be her pawns?"
"you--"
The Second Elder's face turned red with anger.
"Don't be angry. I'm genuinely thinking about you. To be honest, I'm very clear about what's going on at Xianyin Pavilion. You think that by working so hard for the Great Elder, she'll remember your kindness. Even if she gets that thing, you won't get a share. I guess you don't know me yet, but I promise that killing you would be as easy as pie. So, those who know the times are heroes. Staying in Baihua Mountain to enjoy your retirement and loyally protect the sect is the wisest choice. What do you think?"
Tang Bao didn't want to kill these people.
After all, it's not easy.
Moreover, if Xianyin Pavilion really killed these old men, its strength would drop a lot.
That's not the point.
The point is, Tang Bao doesn't want to kill these living fossils of humanity, these long-lived old men...
"Don't spread rumors to confuse the public. You must be Tang Bao, right? I came here today with no intention of letting you go. If you're looking for death, I don't mind sending you on your way early."
The Great Elder suddenly pulled out his crutch.
He spoke rudely and didn't give Tang Bao any face at all.
This is a murderous intention.
Tang Bao curled his lips and said, "Old witch, do you think I will let you go? The five of them can survive, but you will definitely die today. I guarantee it. So, if you want to go to the underworld sooner, you can come and try."
"You ignorant people are so despicable!"
The Great Elder roared angrily and said to the other elders, "Move aside, let me personally kill this arrogant man who doesn't know his place."
Several elders' eyes flickered and they stepped back together.
The Great Elder came out, stared at Tang Bao, and narrowed his eyes: "How do you want to die? It's your choice."
She was angry.
In the entire Xianyin Pavilion, the Great Elder’s martial arts skills are undoubtedly the highest.
She released all her aura, and almost everyone present felt a little short of breath.
Huge pressure is coming upon me.
Everyone was scared.
The Great Elder, this is the Great Elder.
Among the supreme elders, the one ranked first is said to be over two hundred years old, and his martial arts skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
