In the courtyard.
Qin Shujian and Zheng Fang sat there separately.
"Sect Master, many people in the sect were dissatisfied with the previous decision."
"Dissatisfied?" Qin Shujian took a sip of spirit tea, then put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I expected it. Dissatisfaction is one thing, but sometimes it's enough to hold it in. If they're dissatisfied, they can make some noise. I admire their courage."
"Now the noise has come out."
"Oh?"
Qin Shujian was slightly surprised and said with a smile, "What's the noise? Tell me about it."
"Now a few outer sect elders led the protest together with some inner and outer sect deacons. They declared in front of Chengwu Hall that they want to talk to the sect face to face."
"Have you remembered them?"
"Yes."
"Hmm …" Qin Shujian thought for a while and said, "Then let them wait at the Martial Arts Practice Field tomorrow. Also, if anyone is dissatisfied, they can come together. I will give them a satisfactory answer."
"Sect Master, what do you plan to do?"
Zheng Fang frowned and asked in a deep voice.
He was suddenly a little worried.
After all, his sect master used to be a ruthless person. Although he seemed to be gentler recently, he killed at least one hundred to two hundred thousand demonic beasts without batting an eyelid.
This sect master was still the same as before.
If this matter was not handled well.
Tomorrow, he was afraid that …
Seeing Zheng Fang's expression, Qin Shujian shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Great Elder, don't worry. I know what to do."
"But I have a request. That is, all the people who want to see me at Chengwu Hall must be present tomorrow."
"Yes!"
—
The next day.
On the Martial Arts Practice Field.
Many of the sect's elders, consecrated elders, and guest elders were gathered here.
Even a portion of the disciples had gathered here at this moment.
And in the center.
There was also a group of people standing there. But judging from their clothes, they were all deacons and above.
"Tsk tsk, there's going to be a good show to watch today. I heard that Elder Li and the others are dissatisfied with the previous system set by the sect. They're going to collectively force the sect to abdicate!"
"Heh, with so many elders and attendants gathered together, this is no small matter. I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome for the sect to deal with this."
"Who cares? Let's just watch. It would be best if the original system could be abolished."
"What's the point of canceling it? In my opinion, it's best to implement it."
Many surrounding disciples were discussing in low voices. All of them were watching this scene with great interest.
Regarding the new rules.
Some people were dissatisfied because it harmed their interests.
As for the other group of people, they agreed in their hearts.
These people.
They were all disciples with real strength.
After this rule was set, they would be able to obtain more things than before.
After being demoted to an outer disciple, one would be expelled from the sect if they did not contribute enough contribution points every month.
Now, Yuan Zong.
It was clear that they were no longer providing for idlers.
For players, once they were expelled from the sect, all the martial arts they had learned in the sect would be erased. The punishment could not be said to be light.
As for the local disciples.
Once they were expelled from the sect, it would be difficult for them to accept it.
Therefore.
After this rule was set, some people were happy and some were sad.
However, those who were really anxious to jump out.
Only those elders and attendants who had the most interests and who were more confident would be able to do so.
After all —
Disciples were just disciples. No sect would lack them.
However, to reach the level of an elder in charge, they would have some weight in any sect.
As for the discussion of these disciples.
The rest of the people heard it, but there was no expression on their faces.
Only Niu Feng looked around at the crowd and shouted angrily, "Everyone, keep quiet. Otherwise, leave this place immediately!"
His thunderous voice instantly drowned out all the discussions.
The disciples who were still discussing in low voices could not help but shut their mouths at this moment.
The scene.
Suddenly, it became quiet.
As time passed, Qin Shujian still hadn't appeared. Many people who were standing there waiting began to feel their hearts beating like drums. They had the urge to retreat.
It was as if they had sensed the emotional instability on their side.
A haze flashed past Li Yongzhang's eyes, and then he looked at Zheng Fang and cupped his hands. "Grand Elder, when exactly will the Sect Master come? Could it be that he doesn't want to see us?"
"Since the Sect Master asked all of you to wait here, he will naturally come. Just be patient."
Zheng Fang glanced at him indifferently and then replied calmly.
As for Li Yongzhang.
He felt slightly regretful in his heart.
Li Yongzhang was also a commoner from Linchuan Village.
Later on, he fled to Mount Liang with him and joined Mount Liang. Later on, Qin Shujian became successful, and the entire Mount Liang rose to the sky.
In the past, this commoner had not even stepped into the first level of the Basic Realm.
Now, he had become a cultivator at the Spirit God Realm.
Such a transformation could not be said to be small.
As far as Zheng Fang was concerned, Li Yongzhang was one of the few people under him who had reached the level of an outer court elder.
He originally wanted to persuade Li Yongzhang.
Unfortunately.
This Elder Li was no longer what he used to be. He didn't even listen to his words and became arrogant.
Regarding this.
Zheng Fang could not be bothered to waste his breath.
Not long after.
Someone flew over and landed on the training field.
Seeing this.
Everyone, including Li Yongzhang and the others, bowed and saluted. "Greetings, Sect Master!"
"No need for formalities!" Qin Shujian stood with his hands behind his back. Then, he looked at Li Yongzhang and the others and said, "I'm already here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Since it's like this, then I'll be frank."
Li Yongzhang's expression was solemn. He still held great reverence for Qin Shujian in his heart.
However, he had to speak about what happened today.
Soon after.
After Li Yongzhang cupped his hands together, he said in a clear voice, "Ever since the Cold Mountain Stockade, we have been following the sect master through fire and water. Other than the sect master's existence, us brothers have also contributed a lot to the sect's current achievements.
There were a total of 63 people who joined Mount Liang in Linchuan Village. Now, there are only a few left. The rest have shed blood for the sect, and they have no regrets even if they die. "
In the training field.
No one spoke. They let Li Yongzhang's voice drown them out.
Qin Shujian's expression was the same as usual. He nodded and said, "Continue."
"Now that the sect has achieved such a status, the Sect Master wants to set such a rule. Won't it make us, who have fought for the sect, feel bitterly disappointed? Won't it make all the disciples of Yuan Sect feel bitterly disappointed?"
"I hope the Sect Master can rescind the original decision. Don't make us feel bitterly disappointed!"
Li Yongzhang's expression was agitated and indignant as he spoke. He looked like he was heartbroken.
As for the people behind him, they all chimed in one after another.
In Qin Shujian's line of sight.
The loyalty of these people was still above average. However, at this moment, it was fluctuating. At times, it would drop a little, and at other times, it would return to its original level. This showed that their hearts were not calm.
After Li Yongzhang finished speaking.
Qin Shujian then slowly opened his mouth and said, "The Sky Origin Sect does not belong to me, Qin Shujian alone, nor does it belong to any one person. It is true that all of you have laid down the foundation for the Sky Origin Sect, but the Sky Origin Sect has also given all of you corresponding things.
As elders and deacons, do you think that you can just lie on the merit book and eat off of it? Do you think that all the disciples of the sect will work hard just to support you? "
"For the sect to have today's achievements, it is not only you who have contributed, but also the other disciples of the sect."
"I will definitely not let a few pieces of rat poop spoil the whole pot of porridge."
His last sentence.
It was already a public slap in the face.
Li Yongzhang and the others' faces instantly flushed red. Their loyalty had also directly dropped.
Qin Shujian's expression remained the same. When his Spiritual Eye swept across, the loyalty of many onlookers began to fluctuate.
Or rise.
Or fall.
Regarding this, he had already turned his gaze back to Li Yongzhang and the others. He said indifferently, "Since you don't agree with the sect's rules, then expel you from the sect!"
When the words "expel you from the sect" were spoken.
Li Yongzhang and the others' faces suddenly changed.
Subsequently.
Under everyone's perception.
The aura of Li Yongzhang and the others rapidly declined.
Outer Aura Realm!
Inner Aura Realm!
First level of the True Martial Realm!
Tenth level of the Martial Realm!
Sixth level of the Martial Realm!
Third level of the Martial Realm!
Their cultivations at the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm had directly fallen to the 3rd level of the Martial Initiation Realm in less than two seconds, and they felt extremely empty, causing Li Yongzhang and the others to be slightly unsteady and almost fall to the ground.
A sudden change of events.
It caused everyone's faces to change greatly. No one knew exactly what was going on.
As for Li Yongzhang and the others.
At this moment, their faces were already ashen.
Qin Shujian looked at Li Yongzhang and the others and said indifferently, "Leave the sect within a day!"
"Sect Master, I was only momentarily blinded by greed. I hope that Sect Master will show mercy and not expel me from the sect!"
"I hope that Sect Master will show mercy!"
"It was all Li Yongzhang's bewitchment that caused me to take things too hard for a moment. Please forgive me, Sect Master!"
At this moment.
Most of the people whose cultivation had fallen directly knelt down and cried with dejected expressions.
No one had expected that.
Qin Shujian would expel them from the sect so straightforwardly.
They had even more not expected that.
After being expelled from the sect, the increase in strength that was caused by the advancement of the sect's power would all disappear.
Without the support of the sect's power.
They had already become the new bandits that followed behind the other bandits and killed players to level up.
As for retaining the strength of the third level of the Martial Realm.
It was the strength that had increased in the process of killing the Variant Humans.
Apart from that.
There was nothing left.
As for the continuous advancement of the sect's power, these people's strength had also risen all the way. They had not seriously cultivated at all.
Now that they had lost the outer layer of the sect's power.
Li Yongzhang and the others were directly beaten back to their original state.
As for the others.
After the shock, they vaguely understood why Li Yongzhang and the others' cultivation had suddenly fallen so severely.
Subsequently.
Within the vision of Qin Shujian's Spiritual Eye.
The Deacon Elders whose loyalty had fallen due to the sect's rules from before had their loyalty rapidly rising at this moment.
All of a sudden, these people realized something.
They had left the Origin Sect.
They were nothing.
