Lu Qinghe and Lin Zhendong's brows were tightly furrowed, their expressions shifting constantly, as if shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
If they make concessions so easily, where will their pride be?
After all, although Qin Feng was the Palace Master of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm. There was a huge gap of an entire major realm between them.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qinghe turned his gaze to Nangong Zhen and said in a cold voice, "Elder, it seems that this is not your place to interrupt, is it?"
Nangong Zhen glanced at Lu Qinghe, his brows furrowing slightly, and replied firmly, "Sect Master, what do you mean by that? As the Grand Elder of the Immortal Sect, I represent the Elder Council and have the power to dismiss the Sect Master. Don't I even have the right to speak?"
"Or is it that the sect leader has become arrogant and thinks too highly of himself after cultivating the Primordial Technique, and can disregard the rules of the immortal sect?"
Lu Qinghe's face instantly darkened. He never expected that Nangong Town would show him no mercy and openly oppose him.
If we back down now, wouldn't we become a laughing stock?
Just as he was about to reprimand him, an astonishing aura suddenly surged from Nangong Zhen's body.
Sensing the earth-shattering aura emanating from Nangong Town, Lu Qinghe's face instantly turned ashen. "You...you actually cultivated the Primordial Technique too!"
The expressions on everyone's faces changed drastically, and all eyes filled with astonishment and suspicion turned to Nangong Zhen.
It should be noted that although Nangong Zhen is Lin Tian's son-in-law, everyone has always known that he has not obtained the Primordial Technique.
He had always been an ordinary and unremarkable cultivator.
However, who could have predicted that Nangong Zhen would also obtain the Primordial Technique? Moreover, judging from the aura alone, the Primordial Technique that Nangong Zhen cultivated was clearly more powerful than the one that Lu Qinghe cultivated.
Lin Zhendong's gaze was fixed on Nangong Zhen, his heart filled with disbelief.
He had never taken this son-in-law, whom he had always looked down upon, seriously. But now, the other party not only cultivated the Primordial Technique, but also seemed to have cultivated it even more powerfully than he had.
How is that possible?
Where exactly did he obtain the primordial cultivation technique?
Just then, Nangong Zhen slowly dissipated his terrifying aura, a half-smile on his face, and stared at Lu Qinghe, asking, "Sect Master, now, am I qualified to interrupt?"
Lu Qinghe's face burned as if he had been slapped several times, and the humiliation made him wish he could disappear into the ground.
His intuition told him that Nangong Town's strength had far surpassed his own, and if they really fought, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Lu Qinghe took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew this was not the time to act impulsively; he had to remain calm. So, with a forced smile, he said, "Elder, you jest. As the Elder of the Immortal Sect, you naturally have the right to express your opinion."
Nangong Zhen chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He then turned to Lin Zhenhua and said firmly, "Sect Master Lin, I believe there is nothing wrong with what Fellow Daoist Ye and I just said!"
"The main purpose of the exorcism plan is to exorcise demons, not to compete for some bullshit position of chief leader!"
"If you're going to keep arguing about such pointless topics, you might as well go home!"
Lin Zhendong frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and said indifferently, "Nangong Zhen, do you think that just because you've cultivated the Primordial Technique, you're qualified to be on equal footing with me?"
"Don't forget, you're just a lowly son-in-law in the Lin family!"
Upon hearing the words "son-in-law," Nangong Zhen's face instantly darkened, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, as if they would shatter at any moment.
Choosing to marry into the Lin family was the worst decision he ever made.
Not only did his children have to take the surname "Lin," but every time he visited the Lin family, not a single member treated him like a human being.
He was subjected to all sorts of humiliation and bullying.
Although he did not cultivate any ancient techniques, his strength was still extremely formidable.
Almost invincible among those of the same level!
Where am I inferior to others?
Nangong Zhen took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Lin Zhendong, no matter what, I am still the Grand Elder of the Xuanming Immortal Sect!"
"Your humiliation of me is tantamount to humiliating the Xuanming Immortal Sect!"
"Who gave you, Lin Zhendong, the audacity to humiliate the Xuanming Immortal Sect?"
At this point, Nangong Zhen instantly unleashed an astonishing aura, like an insurmountable mountain, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Zhendong's face. "If you dare utter another insult to me, then let's fight!"
Lin Zhendong was stunned, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that the son-in-law who could be bullied at will would dare to challenge him now.
Despite his arrogant humiliation of Nangong Zhen just now, he doesn't have the guts to actually fight Nangong Zhen yet.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ye Qingxin sighed helplessly, "You two, have you argued enough? If not, then go outside and fight! Don't waste everyone's time here!"
"Hmph!" Lin Zhendong snorted coldly, then took the opportunity to back down and said no more.
Nangong Zhen glanced at Lin Zhendong and remained silent.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. If these two had continued arguing relentlessly, she would have had no choice but to stand by and watch.
Then, Ye Qingxin looked at everyone and smiled, "Everyone, I don't think we need a general coordinator at all! We can discuss the demon-slaying plan together!"
After hearing what Ye Qingxin said, everyone expressed their agreement with her suggestion.
They believed that joint consultation was more appropriate than unilateral decision-making, otherwise the concentration of power could lead to unfair task allocation.
However, Lin Zhenhua and Lu Qinghe exchanged a glance, both feeling very dissatisfied.
They originally hoped to use this demon-slaying conference to suppress other sects, but now that everyone is discussing it together, it will probably be difficult to achieve their goal.
At that moment, Lin Zhenhua stood up and shouted, "I object!"
"Without an overall leader, everyone will be like scattered sand, lacking any cohesion. How can we effectively exorcise demons in that situation?"
"Let's not end up getting wiped out by those evil spirits!"
Lu Qinghe immediately chimed in, "Sect Leader Lin is right. I agree that we must elect a chief person in charge!"
Ye Qingxin sighed helplessly. These two old geezers actually came again?
At this point, everyone could no longer hold back and began to voice their opposition.
"Sect Leader Lin, Sect Leader Lu, we disagree. Are you going to force us to obey?"
"Hmph. Although your two sects are incredibly powerful, I advise you not to go too far!"
"That's right, none of our sects are made of clay!"
