Hearing the bell in the clouds, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. On the Ten Peaks Mountain, apart from the four Perfected Masters and Qi Yuntian, he was probably the only one who knew what was going on.
At that moment, golden lights flashed in the sky and dozens of talismans fell toward Qi Yuntian, Zhuang Bufan, and the other disciples.
One of them flew toward Zhang Yan. He reached out and caught it. After taking a look, he realized that it was not the first time he had seen it. It was a talisman to enter and exit the Floating Heavenly Palace.
A smile appeared on his face. He looked around and saw that many of the disciples who had received the talismans had already flown away. He leaped into the air and flew towards the Floating Heavenly Palace.
Soon, he arrived outside the palace. Seeing that he could not go any further due to the strong wind, he slapped the talisman and it turned into a golden light that protected him as he entered the palace.
When he landed, he looked around and saw that Qi Yuntian, Zhuang Bufan, Luo Qingyu, Ning Chongxuan, and the others had already arrived. He went up to greet them and sat down on a futon.
After a while, Fan Changqing, Fang Hong, Ren Mingyao, and the others also landed.
All the people that Zhang Yan had seen that night were here.
A boy walked out from the main hall and said, "The Ancestral Master has ordered us to sit in the outer hall and wait for the order. If you hear what is said in the hall, you are not to make a fuss or whisper to each other. You are not to leave this place without permission. Violators will be punished according to the rules of the sect."
His words were harsh and coupled with the fact that he had gathered the disciples today. All the disciples felt that something was not right.
At that moment, the eight Perfected Masters had already entered the main hall of the palace.
Seeing that Sect Leader Qin was already seated in the main hall, the four Spiritual Masters of the aristocratic families were all secretly wondering why Sect Leader Qin was making such a big fuss this time.
Especially after the sect's competition, they could not help but feel nervous when they saw that the Sect Leader had not gotten what he wanted.
However, they could not figure out what the Sect Leader was planning, so they braced themselves and prepared to deal with the situation carefully.
After everyone sat down, Perfected Cultivator Chen cleared his throat. He cautiously asked, "Sect Head Shixiong, may I know why you called us here in such a hurry?"
The moment Sect Leader Qin opened his mouth, he spoke in a clear and mellow voice, "Today's discussion is about a person in our sect who has betrayed our master and killed our ancestors. We have no choice but to summon all of you here to discuss this matter."
The four Spiritual Masters from the aristocratic families felt a chill in their hearts as they exchanged glances.
Of course, the Sect Leader would not speak carelessly. Moreover, he had mobilized so many people. Clearly, this person's identity was not simple.
Meng Zhen said angrily, "Master, who is this?"
Perfected Being Xiao glanced at Meng Zhen and stroked his beard without saying a word. In his heart, however, he mocked himself. How could the four disciples of the Sect Leader not know about such a matter? They must have discussed this in private. Otherwise, how could they control the situation today? It was obvious that this exchange was done for them to see.
Qin Zhenren said slowly, "In the ancestral hall. The steles that contained the seals personally sealed by the Patriarch were used to deal with the six forbidden areas. More than twenty years ago, there was a seal stele that rang for no reason. It was obviously coveted by someone. They were trying to break the seal. "
Perfected Being Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, I wonder who dared to do this. Since it happened twenty years ago, why did they only bring it up today? "
Just Now, the four Perfected Beings from the aristocratic families vaguely remembered that the Patriarch who founded the sect had set up the six seals. Rumor had it that there were ancient evil creatures sealed in them. It was said that if the disciples of the younger generation saw them, they must not try to break the seals. Otherwise, no matter who it was, they would be charged with the crime of betraying their master and killing their ancestors.
However, they didn't know that there was a seal stele in the ancestral hall.
Other than the Sect Leader, no one knew where the six seals were. Now that someone had unearthed them, it was no wonder that so many people were here.
Sect Leader Qin didn't answer Perfected Being Chen's question. Instead, he waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Call the people here."
Not long after, a short and fat cultivator walked into the hall. He was a Core Formation Cultivator. His facial features were all gathered together, making him look a little funny.
He bowed respectfully to the Perfected Beings and said, "Disciple Miao Kun greets the Sect Leader and the Perfected Beings."
Sect Leader Qin said, "Miao Kun, tell the Perfected Beings what you know."
"Yes."
Miao Kun bowed and said, "Twenty-three years ago, the Sect Leader sensed that there was something strange about the seal. It was coming from the bottom of the Surging Waves Lake. After the Three Lakes were destroyed, the Su family was given as a residence. Therefore, I was ordered to investigate in secret. After so many years, I found that the Su family was not only trying to break the seal of the True Dragon Residence under the Surging Waves Lake, but also that the entire family was planning to betray the clan!"
The Su family! Betray the clan!
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the Perfected Beings. They almost instantly understood what the Sect Leader was planning. A chill ran down their spine.
Among the aristocratic families, the power of the five clans accounted for seventy to eighty percent. The Su family was one of the five clans. It had thousands of years of history. Not to mention its deep roots, its foundation was not to be underestimated. Once it was gone, the strength of the aristocratic families would be greatly damaged.
When the disciples outside heard the words in the hall, they were all shocked. But after a while, their faces were filled with joy.
Although Zhang Yan, who was sitting outside the door, had already guessed it in his heart, he still felt relieved when he heard it. He thought to himself, "It's settled!"
He was able to guess this result not because his plan was brilliant, but because he knew that the Su family had the intention of betraying the clan. After gathering all the fragments together, he was able to think of this point.
From the Sect Leader's point of view, now that the master and disciple had risen again, it was necessary to snatch back the resources from the aristocratic families. But they had to choose a breakthrough point.
So the Su family, which did not have a Heaven's Abode, was obviously the best choice.
If they could get rid of a big family, not only could they weaken the power of the aristocratic families, but they could also free one of the top ten disciples, which would increase the prestige of the Sect Leader. It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone!
At that time, although Zhang Yan thought of this possibility, he was not too sure. So he just blindly followed the trend and did not dare to jump out of the bottom line.
But when the master and disciple completely retreated in the grand competition. It seemed that when there was no action, he could confirm this idea.
In fact, if one were to think deeper about this matter, then no one knew where the True Dragon Manor was. It was very likely that the Sect Leader had intentionally leaked it, and had long since thrown out a bait to lure the Su Clan to bite it.
It should be known that the Heaven's Abode in the Su family had long passed away, which was the biggest weakness of the clan. But if they could get either the True Dragon Residence or the Black Dragon's slough, it was very likely that there would be another Heaven's Abode. Even if they knew that it was against the rules of the Ancestral Master, they had no choice but to take it.
If this was really the case, the Sect Leader's plan was really as deep as the sea. He probably had this plan since the big change in the clan that day, and suddenly launched it at this time, striking a vital point and cutting off one of the big branches of the aristocratic families.
After listening to Miao Kun. Spiritual Master Han said with some difficulty, "Sect Leader Martial Uncle, just based on this person's words, is it not enough to make a conclusion?"
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Martial Nephew Han, these are prudent words."
Spiritual Master Han's heart turned cold. He immediately knew that the Sect Leader was prepared.
With a wave of his hand, Sect Leader Qin summoned a talisman and pointed at it. With a point of his hand, a clear water mirror appeared. With another wave of his sleeve, a scene appeared in it.
Everyone looked at it and saw five people sitting in front of a stone door. They were facing the seal and activating a mysterious technique.
Sect Leader Qin said, "This technique was set up by the Ancestral Master back then. It was to prevent someone from secretly touching the seal. You can look carefully and recognize the people inside. "
The Spiritual Masters could clearly see that the people inside were the five Yuanying Spiritual Masters of the Su family. At this time, they had nothing to say, and at the same time, their hearts trembled. If it was only the crime of breaking the Ancestral Master's seal, although the five of them would not be enough to pay with their lives, the other four clans could mediate a little, and it would not be enough to implicate the younger generation. However, the Sect Leader still wanted Miao Kun to come out and sentence the Su Clan for the crime of betrayal. This was clearly to exterminate the entire Su Clan.
But why at this time? And it happened to be right after the competition?
They did not believe that the Sect Leader Just Now confirmed this matter. It was obvious that he had planned this long ago and just kept it in his hands, ready to attack at any time.
The four Spiritual Masters of the aristocratic families could not help but feel cold. It turned out that this was the reason why the master and disciple did not care whether Ning Chongxuan was promoted or not. As long as the Su family was eradicated, there would naturally be a vacancy.
This was like pulling the firewood from under the cauldron!
Since the Su family was seeking death, it had nothing to do with others. Moreover, this was the crime of deceiving the Ancestral Master. Since it had been confirmed, there was no room for hesitation. He also made a prompt decision. His face turned serious, and he immediately said righteously, "The Su family has disregarded the kindness of the Sect and intended to break the seal to be independent. They deceived the Ancestral Master and deceived the Ancestral Master. This crime cannot be punished and must be eliminated!"
Meng Zhen raised his hand and bowed to the seat of honor. He raised his voice and said, "Sect Leader, please issue a decree to clean up the sect and eliminate the Su family!"
As soon as he spoke, the three Spiritual Masters behind him, Zhu, Yan, and Sun, said in unison, "Sect Leader, please issue a decree to clean up the sect and eliminate the Su family!"
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the three Spiritual Masters, Xiao, Du, and Han, had no choice but to agree, "Sect Leader, please issue a decree to clean up the sect and eliminate the Su family!"
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said calmly, "The Su family must be eliminated. However, there are no more Grotto-Heavens in the family. There are only five Yuanying cultivators. There is no need for you to show up. You can leave it to the younger generation. You can just wait here for news."
The four Spiritual Masters of the aristocratic families were helpless. They knew that the Sect Leader was preventing any of them from leaking the news, so as to prevent a single person from the Su Clan from leaving. It was just that at this time, no one was willing to break the law and threaten to leave.
Sect Leader Qin said to the servant boy beside him, "Go and call Yuntian here."
The servant boy obeyed the order and left.
Not long after, Qi Yuntian arrived at the main hall. He bowed and said, "Disciple Qi Yuntian greets the Sect Leader, Master, and Spiritual Masters."
Sect Leader Qin smiled and said, "Yuntian, you may dispense with the formalities. You were in the outer hall and must have heard about this. You will be in charge of the extermination of the Su family. I will bestow upon you a Golden Talisman and Jade Badge. All the disciples and elders will be under your command."
He raised his hand and a golden light flew down.
Qi Yuntian reached out and caught it. He said loudly, "Disciple obeys."
Sect Leader Qin waved his sleeves and smiled, "Go."
Qi Yuntian bowed to the main hall and turned to leave.
Sun Zhenren's expression changed. He said, "Master, since the Su family needs to be eliminated, the position of the top ten disciples is empty. Who does Master have in mind?"
At this moment, a voice was heard from outside the main hall, "Sect Leader Shixiong, Huang Fuzhou is a talent in the sect. He can take this position."
As the voice faded, Spiritual Master Qin's clothes fluttered as he stepped into the main hall.
