The arrival of the Demon Venerable had obviously caused a huge uproar in the Temple of Charms.
Although the temple had been mentally prepared, since they had accepted the Little Venerable Zhuo Bufan, it meant that they would become enemies with the Demon Venerable sooner or later.
However, when this day really came, everyone was still at a loss.
Most importantly, at this critical moment, the Lord Hallmaster, the highest leader of the Temple of Charms, had disappeared.
The disappearance of the Lord Hallmaster was tantamount to a headless dragon, and everyone was completely at a loss.
The Demon Venerable had arrived, and the Hallmaster had disappeared.
The Temple of Charms finally could not stay calm and hurriedly called for an emergency meeting.
All the Venerables rushed to the hall, and obviously, there were some Venerables who did not know what had happened.
After the Venerables had taken their seats, everyone looked at the Hallmaster's platform and found that there were only six Hallmasters on it.
The Lord Hallmaster, who was supposed to be sitting in the middle, was nowhere to be seen, and there was only an empty seat.
"Where is the Lord Hallmaster?"
"Why don't I see him old?"
"He should be present for this emergency meeting."
Some Venerables who did not know what was going on began to discuss.
Because of the absence of the Lord Hallmaster, many people felt confused and inexplicably panicked.
Da da da!
The heavy hammer firmly hit the pedestal, making a heavy and shocking sound.
"Silence!"
The person holding the gavel should have been the Lord Hallmaster. But today, it was the Thunder Hallmaster.
"This emergency meeting was called by me at the last minute. So, I will personally preside over this meeting. "
The Thunder Hallmaster held the gavel and looked very serious.
His face was like that of the Thunder Hallmaster, and no one dared to get close to or disobey him.
Before anyone could ask, he spoke first.
"This emergency meeting has nothing to do with the Venerable Meeting. There are mainly three things to announce and to get the consent of all the Venerables here. "
Zhuo Bufan sat on the Venerables' platform, crossed his arms, and looked at the Thunder Hallmaster calmly.
He basically already knew that this meeting was most likely about him.
"The first thing, I think everyone here knows. The Demon Venerable of the Southern Demon Realm, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, is already on his way to the Temple of Charms. "
As soon as he said this, almost everyone's gaze turned to Zhuo Bufan.
Aside from Zhuo Bufan, who else could the Demon Venerable be after?
He called out in Yunmeng Jie, "Little Venerable of the Temple of Charms, the Emperor has come."
He had already made his intentions clear.
As for Zhuo Bufan, the person involved, he just sat there with his arms crossed. He didn't say anything and appeared very calm.
"Let's talk about the second thing."
The Lightning Seigneur glanced at Zhuo Bufan and continued speaking expressionlessly.
"The second thing is that the First Hall Master has been missing for three days."
As soon as he said that, all the Venerables present cried out in surprise.
"What? The First Hall Master is missing?"
"This is not a joke! Is the First Hall Master really missing? "
"It's strange that he went missing at this juncture!"
"It's only been three days. You can't define it as missing, right?"
The Venerables were all guessing the whereabouts of the First Hall Master.
At this time, the Lightning Seigneur continued.
"Our Temple of Charms has a clear rule that the Hall Master is not allowed to leave the temple at will. Even the First Hall Master cannot violate this rule. "
"We have tried our best to contact the First Hall Master, but there is still no trace of him."
"Now, what I want to say is that in the current situation, facing the menacing Demon Venerable, our Temple of Charms cannot be without a leader."
"Therefore, the third thing today is to elect the interim First Hall Master."
The Lightning Seigneur finally revealed the ultimate purpose of today's meeting, which was to elect the interim First Hall Master.
"This Venerable One recommends himself to be the interim First Hall Master."
The Lightning Seigneur wasn't modest and directly said that he could be the interim First Hall Master.
With his prestige and status, he was indeed qualified to be the interim First Hall Master.
"This Venerable One does things swiftly and decisively, and will not be long-winded with everyone."
"The interim First Hall Master naturally can't be decided by this Venerable One alone."
"The reason I have invited everyone here is naturally to preside over a fair election."
"The six Hall Masters sitting in the main seats all have the qualifications to be the interim First Hall Master. Therefore, everyone, let's vote! "
The moment the Lightning Seigneur finished speaking, a group of blue-robed Lightning Divine Hall apprentices walked out carrying a wooden chest as if they had been prepared beforehand.
Then, they began to hand over the prepared paper and brushes to all the Venerables.
"Everyone, write down the name of the interim First Hall Master that you support. We will use the results of the vote to decide the ownership of the interim First Hall Master."
It had to be said that the Lightning Seigneur really did things as he said, swiftly and decisively.
Many of the Venerables didn't even understand what was going on. They didn't even have the time to think as they hurriedly wrote down their names and threw them into the wooden chest.
Zhuo Bufan and Zu Jiu Ling sat together. Seeing this, Zu Jiu Ling quietly said to Zhuo Bufan.
"Little Fan, don't vote for that old fox, the Lightning Seigneur. I heard that he is the only one who is against you entering the temple. "
As a teacher, Zu Jiu Ling naturally protected Zhuo Bufan's interests.
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan only smiled and said.
"Whether I vote or not, it doesn't make a difference. Teacher, can't you see it? This is just a show directed and acted by the Lightning Seigneur. "
Zhuo Bufan swept his gaze over and realized that the majority of the Venerables had voted for the Lightning Seigneur without even thinking about it.
These people had obviously discussed this with the Lightning Seigneur beforehand.
In fact, before the Lightning Seigneur convened the meeting, he had indeed secretly invited a majority of the Venerables to hold a small meeting beforehand.
In that small meeting, the Lightning Seigneur had already become the interim First Hall Master.
Therefore, no matter who Zhuo Bufan chose in the end, this interim First Hall Master would definitely be the Lightning Seigneur.
Although Zhuo Bufan didn't know what method the Lightning Seigneur used to make so many Venerables submit to him.
But Zhuo Bufan knew that this was definitely not beneficial to him.
Very quickly, the voting ended!
Before the Venerables came back to their senses, someone had already begun to preside over the voting.
Sure enough, as Zhuo Bufan had guessed, the majority of the Venerables basically voted for the Lightning Seigneur.
In the end, the Lightning Seigneur almost won the voting by a large margin.
And naturally, he himself also became the interim First Hall Master.
"Finally, I announce that after the unanimous vote of the Venerables, the Lightning Seigneur will become the interim First Hall Master."
"During the absence of the First Hall Master, the Lightning Seigneur will temporarily take over the position of the First Hall Master and deal with all matters of the temple."
The preside over the announcement was meaningless.
The Lightning Seigneur becoming the interim First Hall Master seemed to be a result that had long been expected.
But the other Hall Masters had a kind of helplessness that they didn't dare to express their anger.
After the preside over the announcement, the Lightning Seigneur stood up.
Then, he announced.
"Then I will not pass on this responsibility and temporarily take over the position of the First Hall Master."
"Now, I will preside over the matter of how the Temple of Charms should deal with the arrival of the Demon Venerable."
As soon as his voice fell, everyone once again looked at Zhuo Bufan in unison.
"First elect the First Hall Master, then deal with me?"
Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan smiled slightly.
