Chapter 134 Li Wen takes the throne
Hearing what the disciple blurted out, all the Blood Demon Sect disciples present were shocked.
They all turned their gazes towards him, their eyes full of surprise and blame, as if to say:
"How can you be so impatient and speak so rashly!"
Only Li Wen had a cold look in his eyes, staring at the disciple as if he was looking at a dead person.
He thought to himself: It seems that the Qianhuan Sect's hands have reached so far.
They have quietly planted secret agents in their own sects, and this matter must not be underestimated.
Before the Blood Demon Sect could figure out how to respond, the elder from the Thousand Illusions Sect started shouting in a sarcastic tone:
"Harmed by a traitor? Humph, then this traitor must have some serious plans behind the scenes, right?"
After saying that, he deliberately stretched his neck and shot his eyes straight at Li Wen like a poisonous snake.
That look clearly showed that he was deliberately provoking, wanting to see how the new leader of the Blood Demon Sect would respond.
At this tense moment, the Great Elder seized the opportunity, stood up alone and cleared his throat.
He said loudly, "I will not trouble you, the people of the Thousand Illusions Sect, to worry about my Blood Demon Sect's internal affairs."
He knew in his heart that this was a rare opportunity to show his abilities.
As long as I can gain the favor of the sect leader, my life will be saved in the future.
After all, the new sect leader has just arrived and is in need of people. He cannot let this great opportunity slip away.
Seeing that the first elder had expressed his stance, the second and fourth elders were unwilling to fall behind.
The two men looked at each other, and both read in each other's eyes the dissatisfaction with the Great Elder - humph, he got the upper hand in flattering the elder first!
Although they were unhappy, the situation forced them to stand up quickly, make their stance clear, and stand on the same side with the Great Elder.
Li Wen was slightly surprised to see that the Blood Demon Sect members were not affected by the provocation of the Thousand Illusions Sect.
His gaze naturally turned to the Great Elder, with a bit more scrutiny in his eyes.
He thought to himself: This guy is not impossible to keep, he thinks quickly enough.
Now that he has an adult backing him up and controlling the overall situation, he probably doesn't have the courage to betray.
"My fellow Taoist," Li Wen raised his head slightly, his expression stern, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The previous leader of our Blood Demon Sect has passed away. If you have nothing else to do, please come visit us another day.
Oh, by the way, next time you visit, it’s okay if you don’t bring a gift, but remember to hand in your visiting card in advance, so as not to be impolite.”
Li Wen's words were merciless, and he directly retorted to the elder of Qianhuan Sect.
When the Qianhuan Sect elder heard this, his face turned pale and red. He snorted coldly and replied angrily:
"Humph, you're so arrogant at such a young age, fresh off your position. You're simply not worth considering!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves suddenly, tapped his toes lightly, and soared into the air on his sword, turning into a stream of light and galloping away.
Li Wen stood where he was, looking at the direction where the people from Qianhuan Sect left, and snorted coldly in his heart.
He secretly swore: Humph, please don't let me catch any evidence against the Qianhuan Sect.
Otherwise, based on the arrogant attitude of their elder today, if given the chance, the Qianhuan Sect will have to change its surname to "Li" tomorrow!
After the final process of the succession ceremony was successfully completed, Li Wen looked around, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to disperse.
Then he whispered to the attendant beside him to call the chief elder, saying that he had something important to discuss.
Not long after, the Great Elder, led by his attendants, came to Li Wen with unsteady steps.
He lowered his head, his hands trembling slightly, and asked cautiously, "Sect Master, you...you're looking for me?"
His tone was full of uneasiness and flattery, and his eyes flickered, obviously unable to understand Li Wen's intention in summoning him.
Li Wen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Great Elder with a stern gaze.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "From your decision at the critical moment that day, I know that you are a smart person.
Now, there are two paths before you.
First, sincerely submit to me and serve me wholeheartedly from now on;
Second...”
"Master, I choose one, choose one!"
The elder was extremely anxious and responded loudly without waiting for Li Wen to finish explaining the second option.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He was afraid that this moment of hesitation would make Li Wen mistakenly think that he was weighing the pros and cons and had impure intentions, thus ending his own life.
"Are you sure you don't want to hear what the second way is?" Li Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Master, I have seen that you are indeed a man of great talent.
Only by following you can the Blood Demon Sect prosper and we can go further.
So, no matter what the second path is, I will firmly choose it."
The Great Elder spoke earnestly, with a flattering smile on his face, trying to dispel Li Wen's doubts.
Li Wen had an idea and decided to test him again.
"As for the second option, I will give you a generous amount of spirit stones and allow you to leave the Blood Demon Sect with your money.
From now on, the sky is high and the birds can fly freely, and there is no need to come back. "
Seeing that the Great Elder was about to open his mouth to defend himself, Li Wen raised his hand and gently waved it, stopping him:
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet.
If you choose the first path, I will not detoxify you for the time being, unless one day I completely accept you.
As for when it will be recognized, perhaps that day will never come in this lifetime.
So, you have to think carefully before answering me."
The Great Elder's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a firm expression on his face.
Without even a second's hesitation, he said decisively, "I'll choose one!"
In his mind, there was no need to think too much about it. The second path was clearly a test trap set by Li Wen.
Only by choosing the first path can he have a chance to seize that glimmer of hope, and at this moment, what he has been dreaming of is exactly this glimmer of hope.
Seeing him like this, Li Wen could only say that he passed temporarily, but there was still a long way to go.
"Since you've already expressed your determination to follow me, I have a job that I need urgently, so I'll give it to you."
Li Wen raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the Great Elder lightly, with a look of scrutiny in his expression.
When the Great Elder heard this, he was immediately delighted, knowing that he had passed the first level with ease.
He straightened his back quickly, a flattering smile on his face, and replied eagerly:
"Master, if you have any orders, just tell me. I will do my best and go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Did you pay attention to the disciple who rashly spoke up at the ceremony just now, claiming that the sect leader was murdered by a traitor?"
Li Wen paused, his eyes suddenly becoming as sharp as an eagle.
"I suspect this person is an undercover agent planted by the Qianhuan Sect. You should keep him under surveillance.
Don't alert the enemy, and report any signs of trouble to me immediately."
The elder was startled and nodded in agreement:
"Master, rest assured, I will handle this matter perfectly and will never let you down!"
After saying this, he deliberately straightened his chest, as if to show his loyalty to Li Wen.
