Hundred Chi Peak, in front of the ruins of the treasury!
Sun Bianping scolded loudly while secretly observing Yu Haoran's expression.
Only when Yu Haoran nodded slightly did he secretly heave a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of Zhong Faqin's sinister intentions, a mere scolding was not enough to quell the anger in his heart.
Therefore, after Sun Lianping excused himself from Yu Haoran and Chu Zhongyu, the twelve elders gathered together and used their Divine Senses for a short short meeting.
In the end, except for an elder with the surname Kong, who looked a little unhappy, the other eleven elders nodded firmly in agreement.
"Yu Haoran, Chu Zhongyu!" After the twelve elders finished their discussion, Sun Lianping came in front of Yu Haoran and Chu Zhongyu and said with a serious expression.
"Elder Sun, please speak!"
Sun Lianping asked for his instructions for everything, including Chu Zhongyu, which meant that he and the other ten elders who were on the same side as him had all tacitly agreed that Chu Zhongyu was the new Gate Leader.
Therefore, Yu Haoran quietly tugged on Chu Zhongyu's sleeve, indicating that he should talk to Sun Lianping.
"According to the care that the ancestors of the Gate have for the elders who have contributed their lives, it is stipulated that anyone who dares to slander, frame, or spread rumors behind our backs and bring harm to the elders will be dealt with by the elders. No one has the right to question or intervene."
"Therefore, in the face of Zhong Faqin's slander and framing of the elders, after our discussion, the eleven elders have agreed to remove Zhong Faqin from the position of Deputy Gate Leader."
Under normal circumstances, after announcing the result of Zhong Faqin's punishment, Sun Lianping still needed to ask for the Gate Leader's opinion.
However, Chu Zhongyu was not the Gate Leader of the Hundred Chi Gate yet, so he did not know whether his request was correct or not, nor did he know how to address Chu Zhongyu.
"Second Elder, although the Peak Master recommended me and the elders present did not object, the Gate Leader's inauguration ceremony has not been officially held yet. Zhongyu is only an ordinary disciple of the Qingyun Peak."
Chu Zhongyu, who had readjusted his attitude, quickly displayed his tactful ability and means as the Eldest Senior Brother of Clear Cloud Peak.
Therefore, his attitude was humble and his tone was steady as he replied.
"Therefore, the second elder and the eleven elders can decide on any punishment for Vice Sect Leader Zhong. I, Chu Zhongyu, will not have any objections."
Chu Zhongyu's reply made most of the Peak Masters and the 11 Elders very satisfied.
Only Yu Haoran was a little disappointed.
Many people believed that the reason why the strength of the Hundred Chi Gate had not improved over the past few decades was due to the intense competition between the sects.
However, Yu Haoran knew that this was only on the surface.
As one of the thirty-six second-rate Sect Masters of the Profound Sky Continent, the other thirty-five second-rate Sects had their own conflicts.
However, none of the conflicts between the sects were as intense as the one in the Hundred Chi Gate. It was so intense that it seriously affected the strength and status of the Sect.
Yu Haoran knew that the real reason for the intense conflict between the sects was not only because the second Gate Leader was unable to suppress the powerful and ambitious Peak Masters, but also because of the elders who were unwilling to give up their power.
Even though they had the highest cultivation and strength, they couldn't enjoy the power and authority that came with it. Therefore, these founding elders supported and instigated in secret, further intensifying the intensity and cruelty of the factional battles to ensure that they had absolute control over the sect.
Therefore, in order to quell the conflict between the sects in the Hundred Chi Gate, the first thing to do was to deprive the Senior Statesman Peak of its absolute control. Then, find a way to completely isolate these elders so that they could participate less or not at all in the affairs of the Sect.
However, judging from Chu Zhongyu's reaction just now, he was like most of the peak masters in the Sect. He faced the Senior Statesman Peak with respect and fear.
Although he was disappointed, Yu Haoran did not say anything.
This was because he had forcefully pushed his first senior brother, who had just broken through to Martial King, to the position of Gate Leader for his own selfish reasons.
As a result, Yu Haoran knew that he had both a responsibility and an obligation to help his first senior brother deal with the hidden problems that were stirring up the conflict between the sects.
Sun Lianping nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Chu Zhongyu had the same attitude as all the other Peak Masters who had secretly allied with him in the past. He then announced to the thirty or so Peak Masters.
"Since that's the case, I will represent the Senior Statesman Peak and the Hundred Chi Gate to officially announce that Zhong Faqin has been stripped of his position as Vice Gate Leader. He has been stripped of all the benefits and authority that belongs to a Vice Gate Leader."
Zhong Faqin directly fell to the ground with a pale face when he heard Sun Lianping's announcement.
He simply could not understand why the twelve Senior Statesmen, who clearly had absolute control over the Sect, were so afraid of Yu Haoran that they had no choice but to remove him from his position as Vice Gate Leader to appease Yu Haoran's anger.
Unfortunately, no one at the scene came to answer him.
This was because after announcing his punishment, Yu Haoran had called the twelve Senior Statesmen and the thirty-three Peak Masters to discuss Chu Zhongyu's appointment as Gate Leader.
She looked at the Peak Masters of the various factions who had usually ignored her but were now trying to curry favor with Yu Haoran.
Zhong Faqin finally understood something when she saw the Senior Statesmen, who were usually arrogant and rude and had never looked her in the eye, fawning over Yu Haoran.
Status and authority were all empty. The only thing that could truly decide one's fate was the fist in one's hand.
In the past, she had overly complicated the conflict between the sects and the competition for the position of Gate Leader.
She had thought that if she wanted to win the position of Gate Leader, she would need to raise the overall strength of her faction as well as gain the support of many people.
However, judging from Yu Haoran's performance today, if she was now a Martial Sage, even if she did not take the initiative to compete for the position of Gate Leader, the Senior Statesmen and Peak Masters would shamelessly beg her to be Gate Leader.
Zhong Faqin's dejected mood was swept away after she had thought it through.
Then, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave Hundred Feet Peak.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Yu Haoran's eyes as he watched Zhong Faqin, who had regained her spirits.
Zhong Faqin was a peerless genius with outstanding talent and potential who had only been delayed by the conflict between the factions. As long as she could resolve the knot in her heart, her mental state cultivation would soar and her great potential would be stimulated.
Based on Zhong Faqin's current mental state cultivation, she would probably be able to successfully comprehend the power of laws and become a Martial Sage in a few years' time.
Based on Zhong Faqin's character, she would definitely return to the sect on the day she broke through to the Martial Sage level.
Should I send Black Bear to get rid of Zhong Faqin in advance to prevent her from affecting Eldest Senior Brother's position as Gate Leader in the future?
However, after careful consideration, Yu Haoran finally gave up on this idea.
How could a genius with outstanding talent and potential raise her cultivation and power faster?
The guidance of a famous teacher, sufficient cultivation resources, and pills to raise one's cultivation and power could only be considered as a general means of support.
In order to determine whether a genius would be able to advance quickly, besides the means of support, she would need enough pressure to continuously stimulate her potential.
Zhong Faqin's change and departure was a good thing for both Chu Zhongyu and himself.
