In the beginning, the Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang naturally hoped that Heaven Shrouding the Square could become the leader of the three great immortal mountains. That way, the Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang would definitely reap more benefits. However, the Supreme Elders had already realized that it was no longer possible for Heaven Shrouding the Square to become the leader of the three great immortal mountains. Heaven Shrouding the Square's Supreme Elders were no longer able to see the big picture. The gap between him and Gu Qingxun was too great. If it weren't for Gu Qingxun, Mount Fangzhang might have already fallen into their trap. The Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang would definitely blame Heaven Shrouding the Square for this. Therefore, if the Supreme Elders really wanted to choose a suitable leader for the three great immortal mountains, Gu Qingxun was naturally a more suitable choice. Moreover, the benefits that Gu Qingxun had promised to the Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang had already exceeded their expectations.
"Heaven Shrouding the Square, come with us." At that moment, a dignified and aged voice came from the top of Mount Fangzhang. It was the voice of Mount Fangzhang's Supreme Elder, Layman Heaven Measuring. His might on Mount Fangzhang was similar to Grandmaster Peng Wei's might on Penglai Island.
Hearing Layman Heaven Measuring's voice, all the cultivators on Mount Fangzhang fell silent. Heaven Shrouding the Square immediately sensed that the situation was very bad. He couldn't help but ask, "Elder Layman Heaven Measuring, may I ask …"
"From today onwards, Heaven Shrouding the Square, you will be one of the Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang." Layman Heaven Measuring's one sentence removed Heaven Shrouding the Square's position as sect leader.
"Layman Heaven Measuring! Although you are a Supreme Elder, the position of sect leader is no small matter. I can't hand over the position of sect leader to someone else just because you say so! "Now that things had come to this, Heaven Shrouding the Square could only grit his teeth and hold on.
"What? Are you not going to listen to orders? " Layman Heaven Measuring snorted coldly. At that moment, a huge hand descended from the sky and directly suppressed Heaven Shrouding the Square. Immediately, all the cultivators on Mount Fangzhang fell silent. They didn't know why Layman Heaven Shrouding the Square would do this and directly suppress Heaven Shrouding the Square. After all, Heaven Shrouding the Square was still the sect leader of Mount Fangzhang, yet he was suppressed just like that.
"The sect leader of Mount Fangzhang should be the capable one! Only the virtuous can take it! "
Layman Heaven Measuring Scholar said loudly, "As the Sect Master of our Mount Fangzhang, the Heaven Shrouding Scholar is more than capable of defending, but not capable of attacking. Now that the three great immortal mountains are at a critical juncture of life and death, if we continue to use the Heaven Shrouding Scholar as the Sect Master, then it will be very difficult for our Mount Fangzhang to continue to exist. If they could gain a foothold in the sea, even Mount Fangzhang might disappear because of this! Do you all think that I, Layman Heaven Measuring, would spout nonsense? This is the truth. Many of you think that the disciples of the three great immortal mountains are only cooperating with each other to facilitate an alliance between the three great immortal mountains. But you've never thought about why the three great immortal mountains would want to ally with each other. You should know that the reason why the three great immortal mountains would ally with each other is because we're facing an unprecedented threat! Moreover, how many of you know that the sea people have formed an alliance with Penglai Island, and how many of you know that the Ocean Emperor of the sea people personally went to Penglai Island to facilitate the alliance? If the Sect Master of Mount Fangzhang is always behind others in everything and can't accomplish anything big, then he should abdicate his position! "
Layman Heaven Measuring Scholar's words contained a lot of information. Not only did he point out the reason why the Heaven Shrouding Scholar wasn't qualified to continue being the Sect Master, but he also mentioned the Grand Supreme Elders' concerns and the dire situation the three great immortal mountains were facing. It wasn't that the Heaven Shrouding Scholar was completely useless, but that he couldn't handle the current situation, so he could only abdicate his position. Otherwise, Mount Fangzhang might face a situation of life and death. In addition, Layman Heaven Measuring Scholar also said that the sea people had formed an alliance with Penglai Island and Gu Qingxun. This implied that the sea people supported Gu Qingxun and Penglai Island.
If Mount Fangzhang insisted on standing on the opposite side of Penglai Island and Gu Qingxun, then they would have to face two powerful enemies, Kunlun Mountain and the sea people at the same time. How could the Grand Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang be so unwise? Moreover, even if Gu Qingxun became the leader of the three great immortal mountains, he wouldn't always occupy this position. In the future, the leaders of the three great immortal mountains would be elected publicly, and the disciples of Mount Fangzhang would still have a chance to stabilize this position. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, any cultivator from the three great immortal mountains could become the Alliance Master. There was no need to be anxious.
Those who were anxious were only the Heaven Shrouding Scholar, but the Grand Supreme Elders of Mount Fangzhang wouldn't be in a hurry. Right now, they naturally had to make the choice that was most beneficial to them, but this choice didn't include the Heaven Shrouding Scholar.
Things were that simple. Even Gu Qingxun didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time. However, she admired Qin Lang's calculations a little more. This was because Qin Lang had planned everything for this trip, and Qin Lang had already said that Gu Qingxun would definitely gain a lot from this trip. Qin Lang insisted that Mount Fangzhang would be easily taken down by Gu Qingxun, and now, Qin Lang's words had naturally received the best proof.
"Sect Leader Gu, since you want to discuss the alliance between Mount Fangzhang and Mount Penglai, then please come up to the top for a chat." Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar was also a swift and decisive person. As soon as he took down the Heaven Shrouding Scholar, he immediately finalized the alliance between Mount Fangzhang and Mount Penglai with Gu Qingxun. He actually didn't want to delay for even a moment. Of course, this was also part of Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar's charm. Since he was the most prestigious Grand Supreme Elder of Mount Fangzhang, he naturally had to make the final decision and settle this matter at once. Otherwise, if anything else happened, it would instead affect Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar's prestige.
Gu Qingxun was slightly surprised because she hadn't secretly bribed Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar. She also didn't understand why Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar would support her at a time like this. Could it be that Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar was really considering the bigger picture?
Regardless, with Recluse Heaven Shrouding Scholar's support, Gu Qingxun's victory was naturally within her grasp. As long as nothing went wrong with Gu Qingxun, she would naturally be able to easily take over Mount Fangzhang. Gu Qingxun already had a certain amount of influence on Mount Fangzhang to begin with. Many cultivators of Mount Fangzhang actually had a rather good impression of Gu Qingxun. This was because Gu Qingxun had facilitated the exchange between the disciples of the Three Major Immortal Mountains, which benefited the ordinary cultivators of the Three Major Immortal Mountains. Moreover, what Gu Qingxun had done had indeed gained face for the Three Major Immortal Mountains. Gu Qingxun had single-handedly defeated over a thousand Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards of the Oceanic Tribe, and had even been able to make the Ocean Emperor personally come to Penglai Island to form an alliance. No matter how one looked at it, it was a very eye-catching thing. These various things were enough to show that Gu Qingxun had a very strong influence on the Three Major Immortal Mountains. Even if she were to take over Mount Fangzhang now, as long as she had the support of these Grand Supreme Elders, it would be a matter of course.
