"Gu Qingxun, how dare you!" Daoist Qing Song shouted, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura. At this moment, Daoist Qing Song was really determined to kill Gu Qingxun. If it was necessary, he did not mind killing Gu Qingxun himself. He did not think that he could not suppress Gu Qingxun with his cultivation.
"You're the one who's bold! Daoist Qing Song! " Gu Qingxun didn't show any signs of weakness. Instead, he welcomed the challenge. "I know you want to kill me, but I don't know what you're thinking. Maybe you're afraid of the sea people, but I'm not! The cultivators of Penglai aren't afraid either! If I have to die, then it won't be you who wants me to die, but all the cultivators of Penglai! If Penglai Immortal Mountain really needs me to die, I won't frown! Otherwise, don't even think about killing me, Daoist Qing Song! "
"In that case, you won't give up until you see your coffin! Since that's the case, I'll send you on your way. It's my responsibility as your master! " Daoist Qing Song couldn't back down now. He could only suppress Gu Qingxun. Otherwise, how could he maintain his dignity as the sect leader? How could he explain it to his secret collaborators?
In fact, when Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang left Penglai Island, Daoist Qing Song had already made up his mind to kill Gu Qingxun. The difference was that Daoist Qing Song wanted to kill Gu Qingxun with a borrowed knife. He had indeed asked someone to leak Gu Qingxun's whereabouts to the abbot and the cultivators of Yingzhou. If the abbot and the cultivators of Yingzhou couldn't kill Gu Qingxun, Daoist Qing Song still had a trick up his sleeve — the sea people. Daoist Qing Song's calculations were flawless. He knew that even if Gu Qingxun could escape from the abbot and the cultivators of Yingzhou, he wouldn't be able to escape from the sea people. After all, the sea people's strength and reputation were obvious. As the sect leader of Penglai Island, Daoist Qing Song knew the strength of Gu Qingxun's group very well. He knew that they couldn't return from the Yuanzhang Mountain relic. However, Gu Qingxun did return safely and even killed over a thousand Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards, which made him famous for a while. At this moment, Daoist Qing Song had no choice but to execute Gu Qingxun on the spot. Otherwise, his reputation would be greatly weakened.
However, just as Daoist Qing Song was about to make a move, an old and dignified voice rang out, "Daoist Qing Song, stop!"
Although Daoist Qing Song was the Sect Master of Penglai Island, he had to stop after hearing this voice. This was because this was the voice of a very old Supreme Elder of Penglai Island. If Daoist Qing Song didn't listen to his opinion, then he would be out of luck.
After all, he was still the suzerain of Penglai Island. Although Gu Qingxun had made great contributions in the past, he had made a huge mistake this time and completely offended the Sea People Tribe. Therefore, Daoist Qing Song felt that killing Gu Qingxun was in line with the interests of Penglai Island. Even if the Supreme Elder wanted to speak up for Gu Qingxun, he could not completely shirk his responsibility.
Daoist Qing Song respectfully said, "Alright, since Grandmaster Peng Wei has something to say, I will naturally listen."
"What? Grandmaster Peng Wei is here? " Some Penglai disciples were shocked. Although very few Penglai disciples had seen this grandmaster, they had heard of his reputation.
At this time, Qin Lang saw an extremely old man with a head full of white hair appear in front of everyone. This old man looked kindly at Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang and said calmly, "Gu Qingxun, I didn't expect an old man like me, who's about to die, to have heard of your name. You're not bad, kid! "
Not bad?
Daoist Qing Song thought he had heard wrong. This Grandmaster Peng Wei actually said that Gu Qingxun was not bad. Was he here to support Gu Qingxun? Grandmaster Peng Wei was a very old cultivator who basically didn't have any contact with others and was completely focused on cultivation. How could he have anything to do with Gu Qingxun? Could it be that Grandmaster Peng Wei really thought highly of Gu Qingxun? Was he actually going to support Gu Qingxun in the face of such a terrible disaster?
"Grandmaster Peng Wei, you've always been fair, impartial, and highly respected, but why are you supporting Gu Qingxun and interfering with how I deal with this evil disciple of mine?" Daoist Qing Song's tone was still respectful of Grandmaster Peng Wei, but it had a slightly questioning tone.
As the Sect Leader of Penglai, Daoist Qing Song also knew that his prestige couldn't be compared to Grandmaster Peng Wei's. After all, although there were many Grand Supreme Elders on Mount Penglai, there weren't many cultivators who could comprehend the path of immortality like Grandmaster Peng Wei. As the saying went, "A grandmaster made of iron, a sect leader made of water." Even as the Sect Leader of Penglai, if he didn't comprehend the true art of immortality, he would inevitably die. Therefore, many Sect Leaders of Penglai had fallen one after another, but Grandmaster Peng Wei was still alive. Although he seemed rather old, he was still alive, which was enough to explain everything. Even though Daoist Qing Song knew how important Grandmaster Peng Wei was, he could only brace himself and go forward at this time, hoping to gain a reputation of "arguing for what's right". After all, Daoist Qing Song firmly believed that avoiding war with the sea people was a very wise thing to do.
"Interfere?" Grandmaster Peng Wei chuckled. "Daoist Qing Song, as the Sect Leader of Mount Penglai, don't you know the meaning of the existence of us Grand Supreme Elders? The Grand Supreme Elders can jointly recommend candidates for the position of Sect Leader, and they can also evaluate the merits and demerits of the Sect Leader. Why, am I overstepping my authority? "
Although Grandmaster Peng Wei was still laughing, everyone could feel the chill in his laughter. It should be known that he was the oldest Grand Supreme Elder of Mount Penglai. Whether it was in terms of qualifications, cultivation, or prestige, he was definitely at the top among the many Grand Supreme Elders. Although Daoist Qing Song was the Sect Leader of Mount Penglai, could he really compete with a Grand Supreme Elder like Grandmaster Peng Wei? Obviously, it was not possible!
The reason why the Grand Supreme Elders rarely interfered with the affairs of the Sect Leader of Penglai was that the Sect Leader was actually carrying out the will of the Grand Supreme Elders. After all, the Sect Leader was jointly elected by the Grand Supreme Elders and was the "spokesperson" of the Grand Supreme Elders. However, if this spokesperson was disobedient, then of course, he would not be qualified to continue to exist as a spokesperson. In other words, the Sect Leader should take his or her turn.
