Chapter 108: The Intelligent Elder of the Imperial Spirit
What Hu Yuling said makes a lot of sense. It is inevitable that there will be traitors. People's minds are unpredictable and no one knows what anyone is thinking.
However, when the traitor really infiltrates so deeply, the sect is bound to suffer serious damage.
What's more, Yuxuan Zhenren, who had arrived at Taiqing earlier, had already predicted that the killing calamity was coming and the world would be in chaos.
The Shenxiao Sect is a major sect that has stood for nearly ten thousand years. What kind of troubles has it not experienced?
However, the loss of the spirit of the Thunder Sword this time is truly unprecedented.
The reason why the Shenxiao Sect was so confident in facing disasters in the past was purely because, as long as the critical moment came, there would always be someone who could respond to the disaster, gain the recognition of the Benlei Sword, take out the magic weapon, and defeat the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables.
As long as the person who caused the problem is solved, everything will be fine.
But this time the Thunder Sword was gone.
Previously, when Taiqing Taoist Temple said there would be another killing calamity, the people of Shenxiao Sect remained very calm.
It's just a killing calamity, doesn't this kind of thing happen every few hundred years?
Every time, a few big guys and a group of younger brothers would die, and those who were caught in the middle were actually very safe.
It's not a big problem.
Now it seems that the problem has become bigger.
Seeing that many elders were discussing the matter, Fang Yu knew that he could no longer just stand by and watch.
She is indeed a guilty person now and it is not convenient for her to speak, but she cannot let panic spread.
"Don't worry, elders. Elder Yu Ling is right, but that is only a possibility. Things have not reached the worst point. I think the most important thing now is to find the sword spirit, and secondly, to investigate the traitor."
The people in the Shenxiao Sect are already in turmoil because of the issue of the Benlei Sword. If a large-scale investigation of the traitor is carried out, it will probably cause even greater turmoil.
So, even though Hu Yuling said that there was another traitor who was in her favor, Fang Yu still stopped her from making the matter bigger.
"What's the master's plan?"
Hu Yuling looked at Fang Yu, but there was no sign of gloating, only a serious expression on her face.
After all, she is also a member of the Shenxiao Sect. Although she is not on good terms with the Sect Master, that is a small matter and she has to stand aside in the face of major events.
"I don't have any clever ideas. I only have one plan. Go find that demon and take the sword spirit back."
Hu Yuling asked back, "What if that person doesn't admit it?"
"Then beat him until he admits it."
"The sect master is still as domineering as ever, but now the human and demon races are at war, and the situation at the border is tense. If we attack an elder of the Qinglian Sect without evidence at this time, it may easily cause greater chaos, and other sects may not support us."
What Hu Yuling said makes a lot of sense.
The timing of the loss of the Thunder Sword Spirit was so clever that even Fang Yu, who was used to breaking the law with force, found it very difficult to deal with.
"What do you think should happen?"
Although he didn't want to ask his old rival, Hu Yuling was indeed smart and a wise man in the sect, so at this time he could only put aside the past grudges.
"First, we will ask the Qinglian Sect for the person and show our attitude. Second, we will send spies to infiltrate the Qinglian Sect and gather information. Third, we will try to seize the more powerful treasure of the sect."
Hu Yuling's method was very organized and could be carried out simultaneously. Many elders had no doubts about the first and second points, but the third one...
"Is there any treasure in this world more powerful than the Thunder Sword?"
When someone asked a question, someone answered it immediately.
"Didn't a divine weapon come into being not long ago?"
No matter how powerful the Thunder Sword is, it is still an immortal weapon.
The flower fairy has a magical weapon in her hand!
The elders present were shocked when they thought of this.
To steal the treasure of the flower fairy is no longer a question of whether it is good or not. If it is possible, who would not want to steal it!
If the flower fairy was a lone person, she would be gone after she got the treasure.
Unfortunately, she belongs to Guanghan Palace, and Guanghan Palace will definitely protect her.
The plot of someone coveting the disciple's treasure and forcing her to rebel is impossible to happen, and if other sects want to seize the artifact, Guanghan Palace will definitely not sit idly by.
Normally speaking, it is indeed unlikely to steal a sacred artifact.
But for the Shenxiao Sect, there is a glimmer of hope.
"Speaking of which, Sect Master, your new disciple seems to have an unusual relationship with the Saintess of Guanghan Palace?"
As the saying goes, brainstorming brings together ideas. Hu Yuling only proposed an idea for stealing the treasure, and others spontaneously helped her complete the idea.
Fang Yu knew what these people were thinking as soon as she heard it. She snorted coldly and said, "Lin Yun is not my disciple. He is a spy sent by the Sword Sect to the Demon Sect. Now that he has returned, he must go back to the Sword Sect."
"That doesn't matter. Changing a family is not uncommon. Can't we just find a way to keep him here?"
This time, even the neutral Ma Feng stood on Hu Yuling's side.
As a result, the Presbyterian Church reached a consensus.
Fang Yu must accept Lin Yun as his disciple.
At this point in the discussion, the elders hadn’t noticed that they had gone off topic.
It was not until Fang Yu could no longer listen that he spoke up: "Elders, let's discuss the responsibilities of this matter first. I, Fang Yu, as the sect leader, lost the spirit of the Thunder Sword. I cannot shirk my responsibility for this matter. I should also abdicate the position of sect leader and let others take over."
The three elders who had been following Fang Yu were suddenly confused.
They knew the problem was serious long after it happened.
Fortunately, there was a sudden turn of events. Hu Yuling did not take advantage of the situation, but instead put forward a feasible suggestion, which required Fang Yu to be Lin Yun's master, and the identity of the sect leader could not be lost.
As a result, Fang Yu now jumped out and asked to abdicate.
What a rip off?
We, your Majesty, are ready to fight to the death, why did you surrender first?
The two elders of Hu Yuling's faction were immediately overjoyed. After following the boss for so long, they were finally going to come to the fore.
However……
"What are you talking about, Sect Master? The Shenxiao Sect is in danger right now. If we ask the Sect Master to abdicate, it will definitely cause greater unrest. Moreover, this may not be the Sect Master's fault, but the villains are too cunning. If we force the Sect Master to abdicate and cause unrest in the sect, this is exactly what the villains want to see. Sect Master, please think twice."
Hu Yuling's words were touching, and many elders were moved by her integrity.
You have to know that if Fang Yu abdicates, the only one who can succeed him is her, the elder.
Fang Yu stared at Hu Yuling in a daze, and when he saw that she was not pretending to refuse, he nodded heavily.
"In that case, I will continue to be the sect leader for a while. Once this matter is resolved, I will hand over the position of sect leader to someone more capable."
This capable person was almost explicitly referring to Hu Yuling.
Hu Yuling smiled but didn't respond.
Seeing this, Fang Yu did not force it and began to preside over the discussion of some specific matters.
The meeting was coming to an end at this point, with only some minor details remaining.
And in the room of the flower fairy, a strong little bee is still persistently carrying out the assassination plan...
