Instructor Yang slowly took two steps forward, cupped his fists towards Xie Zhixiu and said, "Sect Master, please tell me what I've done wrong."
Xie Zhixiu coldly snorted and said, "When I left the Sect, what did I tell you? I let Lu Xuan join the battle between the Elders and defeated the Nine Star Sword Sect in one fell swoop. Why hasn't there been any substantial progress in the war until now? And as far as I know, you changed the order without permission and put Lu Xuan into the Disciples. What else do you have to say? "
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's expression slightly changed. He didn't expect Xie Zhixiu to use this excuse to attack Instructor Yang.
"Yes, it was me who put Lu Xuan into the Disciples." Instructor Yang said frankly, "After all, he's still young and lacks combat experience. It's extremely dangerous for him to participate in the battle between the Elders."
Xie Zhixiu didn't care so much. Seeing Instructor Yang take the initiative to admit it, he immediately put on a fake smile and said, "In short, you still violated the order? Captain Zhang, you're the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team. Tell me, what's the punishment for disobeying orders? "
Zhang Sanyu ignored Xie Zhixiu's words and smiled at Instructor Yang, "Old Yang, you're wrong. Lu Xuan clearly participated in the battle between the Elders. How could he be disobeying orders?"
Instructor Yang's heart moved as if he thought of something, but he didn't say anything.
At the same time, seeing that Zhang Sanyu ignored him and even tried to confuse the truth, Xie Zhixiu suddenly became furious!
"Zhang Sanyu, I respect you as the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team, but don't think that I, Xie Zhixiu, am made of mud! Do you think that whatever you say will be the truth? "
Zhang Sanyu's expression relaxed as he leaned back on the chair and said, "Sect Master, don't be so angry. How would I dare to lie to you? Lu Xuan did participate in the battle between the Elders and made a great contribution. Instructor Yang, me, and a few other Disciples know this clearly."
"Hmph, then what is this great contribution? Do you have any proof?" Xie Zhixiu stared coldly at Zhang Sanyu and said. He naturally had confidants here. As far as he knew, after Lu Xuan arrived, he was assigned to the Disciples' group. Although he slaughtered nearly a hundred Nine Star Sword Sect disciples in one day, as long as he didn't participate in the battle between the Elders, it would be a violation of the order.
Zhang Sanyu's eyes flashed, he suddenly stood up and said, "Lu Xuan single-handedly killed Elder He Yi of the Nine Star Sword Sect, who was in the seventh tier of the Spirit Refinement realm. I wonder if this counts as participating in the battle between the elders and making a great contribution?"
Xie Zhixiu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know about this at all. In order to protect Lu Xuan, Zhang Sanyu and Instructor Yang didn't announce this matter, so Xie Zhixiu's confidants didn't know about it. Now that Zhang Sanyu suddenly announced it, Xie Zhixiu felt like he was caught off guard.
However, Zhang Sanyu didn't want to let this matter go. He slowly took two steps forward and stared at Xie Zhixiu and said, "Xie Zhixiu, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're the Sect Master. Lu Xuan is a personal disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion and is favored by one of the three Great Elders, Elder Zhao Ying. If something happens to him here, will you take responsibility? Will you bear the wrath of the Profound Ice Pavilion?
"When the Disciples and Elders are fighting for the Sect, you only want to enjoy the benefits. Are you worthy of being the Sect Master? Since you don't want to participate in this battle, I won't force you. However, please shut your mouth and don't try to interfere with what we're doing. "
Zhang Sanyu's words could be said to be impolite, but no one present refuted him because Zhang Sanyu had spoken their minds. Since you, Xie Zhixiu, only want to hide behind the scenes and enjoy the resources, then don't interfere in the matters of the front. Victory or defeat has nothing to do with you.
Being reprimanded by Zhang Sanyu, Xie Zhixiu's face was extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were almost embedded into his flesh. How could a dignified Sect Master endure being reprimanded by a subordinate like this?
However, he had no choice but to endure! He couldn't give Zhang Sanyu a chance. Once he got angry at Zhang Sanyu, it would give everyone a chance to overthrow him as the Sect Master. He had to keep his position.
After a long while, Xie Zhixiu suddenly revealed a trace of a smile. It was as genial as ever, as if nothing had happened.
"Very good. Seeing that everyone is so considerate of the Sect, I'm relieved. Since everyone thinks that my interference will interfere with your plans, then I won't interfere. I'll listen to Captain Zhang and Instructor Yang's arrangements. I'll be in charge of the rear. Once the Nine Star Sword School attacks, I'll be able to send them away. Then, all of you can go all out and defeat the Nine Star Sword School in one fell swoop."
Looking at Xie Zhixiu's words with a smile on his face, not only did everyone not feel a trace of warmth, they instead felt a chill in their hearts.
Lu Xuan was the same. He really admired Xie Zhixiu. This kind of forbearance was not something that anyone could do. Just from this alone, it could be seen how deep Xie Zhixiu's schemes were. If Xie Zhixiu had shouted at Zhang Sanyu, he would still be a normal person. However, being scolded by his subordinate and not getting angry was not something a normal person could do.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xie Zhixiu didn't mind. He looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Lu Xuan, it was indeed me who sent someone to invite you. I wanted to ask if you could lend a hand this time and fight alongside Instructor Yang and the others to help Wind Sword School overcome this crisis. I know that you're Elder Zhao Ying's beloved disciple. I really shouldn't trouble you with this kind of thing. If you're not willing, I naturally won't force you. "
"Lord Sect Master is too serious. I've been cultivating a secret technique. Now that I've finished cultivating it, I don't need Sect Master to say anything. I'll fight alongside Instructor Yang and Captain Zhang." Lu Xuan said.
"That's good." Xie Zhixiu nodded with a gratified look and then said, "In that case, let's discuss the next battle plan. Don't worry, I'm just listening. As for the specific battle plan, I'll listen to Instructor Yang and Captain Zhang's arrangement."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Xie Zhixiu's reaction had exceeded everyone's expectations. It was as if nothing had happened, especially the smile on his face that everyone knew was fake, but it looked very sincere. It was a bit frightening.
This was an extremely terrifying person. Everyone had this thought in their minds.
However, since Xie Zhixiu had put on such an attitude and put his position as Sect Master so low, Zhang Sanyu couldn't make things difficult for him. He coughed to attract everyone's attention and said, "Then let's discuss the next battle plan. Instructor Yang, tell us what you think first."
Instructor Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Because of Lu Xuan's actions, the Nine Star Sword School's disciples don't dare to go out anymore. Their training is over, so I think the battle is coming to an end. We and the Nine Star Sword School don't want to waste time here. It's very likely that there will be a big clash, and the winner will be decided in one battle."
After a pause, he continued, "After the Nine Star Sword School suffered a loss, they haven't made any big movements. From my understanding of them, this is not Feng Kuang's style. It's very likely that they have some kind of conspiracy. I suggest we take the initiative and attack them, catching them off guard!"
Everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with Instructor Yang's idea. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. Since they didn't know what they were planning, then they should not play by the rules and disrupt their plans.
"Very well, since everyone agrees, then let's do it. Everyone will rest for a day, and we'll carry out the sneak attack at night!" Zhang Swordyu said decisively, "Early Soul Refinement cultivators don't need to go out, just stay in the camp. Mid Soul Refinement cultivators and above, follow us and attack. We'll take the path near the mine."
After setting the tone, everyone discussed the details again, and then dispersed in twos and threes. The battle at the Well Cliff Mine was coming to an end.
During the process of everyone's discussion, Xie Zhixiu kept a smile on his face and didn't say a word. He just listened. As he said, he didn't interfere in anything, as if he had compromised.
After everyone left, the smile on Xie Zhixiu's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a solemn expression.
"It seems that you don't put me, the Sect Master, in your eyes anymore. Can't wait to replace me?" Xie Zhixiu murmured. There were still three years left. After three years, it would be the day when the Sect Master would be replaced. If the current Sect Master was loved and respected by everyone, then he could naturally continue to be the Sect Master. But now, the situation was very clear. Xie Zhixiu wondered if anyone would continue to support him after three years.
"Although you don't want me to be the Sect Master, I don't want to give up my position. What should I do? It seems that you can only die. "Xie Zhixiu's mouth revealed a trace of an evil smile.
The one who was most likely to succeed the Sect Master's position was undoubtedly Instructor Yang Yi. Firstly, he was about to step into the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm. Secondly, he was quite popular in the Wind Sword School. As for Zhang Swordyu, although his strength wasn't bad and he held real power, he was a member of the Law Enforcement Team. A member of the Law Enforcement Team couldn't be the Sect Master. This was an iron law.
But for Xie Zhixiu, it didn't matter. Getting rid of Instructor Yang was equivalent to getting rid of a competitor. Getting rid of Zhang Swordyu was equivalent to getting rid of a voice of opposition. He could even take the opportunity to control the Law Enforcement Team. At that time, who could fight against him?
… …
A figure appeared in the sky above the Nine Star Sword School's camp. Feng Kuang and the other Spirit Refinement realm cultivators quickly rose into the sky and stared at the newcomer with vigilance.
"Who are you? Why hide your head and show your tail? Don't you dare to show your face? " Feng Kuang asked in a deep voice. The person in front of him was dressed in black. Apart from a pair of eyes, nothing else could be seen. Even his robe was extremely loose, so he couldn't tell who it was.
The black-robed man didn't speak at all. He raised his hand and shot out a Sound Transmitting Talisman. The talisman quickly exploded in front of Feng Kuang and a hoarse voice entered his ears.
At the same time, the black-robed man didn't stay any longer and quickly retreated. The Nine Star Sword School cultivators were slightly shocked. This guy was very strong, but they didn't know whether he was a friend or a foe.
