Alliance by marriage
"Wait." At this moment, a voice rang out. An old man slowly walked over. His footsteps were steady, and he did not reveal a trace of aura. He was like an ordinary old man.
Yang Hongwu was shocked. This old man was very powerful. Perhaps no one was stronger than him except for the Hidden Elder in the library and Mu Shiyin's grandfather, Elder Mu. Even Elder Kong was weaker than him.
"Elder Gong Yang, do you have anything to say?" Gao Zheng asked.
"Old Man Gong Yang, this is a matter of the Law Enforcement Hall. Are you going to intervene?" The old Confucian scholar wasn't polite at all as he coldly said. Obviously, the old Confucian scholar wasn't in the same camp as Gong Yang.
It was normal for a sect to be divided into several factions.
The Old Scholar, Old Thief, and Old Man Mu were part of one faction, while Gong Yang Huan and the other three Grand Elders were part of another faction.
There was also Duan Qian's master, Songyue, and Hu Xiu 'er's aunt, Hu Qinglian, who were neutral.
"Interfere? Of course not. I just know how to say one thing." Gong Yang Huan's tone was indifferent as he continued, "After I explain this matter, I will let Gao Zheng decide who is right and who is wrong."
"What do you want to say?" The old scholar's heart thumped. He had a bad premonition that something bad was about to happen.
"A day ago, the Hall of Grand Elders made a decision. My Heavenly Dragon Sect has already decided to form a marriage alliance with the Qingyun Sect, and the marriage partners are Hu Xiu Er and the Qingyun Sect's Zi Tian." As soon as Gongyang Huan spoke, Yang Hongwu's heart rumbled like thunder.
"Impossible!" The old scholar shouted, "I don't agree. I have the right to veto the Highest Elder Council's decision. Besides, how could Junior-apprentice Sister Qinglian agree?"
This matter came too suddenly. The old scholar had been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days and had only just come out of seclusion.
"There's no need to doubt it. Junior-apprentice Sister Qinglian has already agreed to it. This matter is led by Junior-apprentice Sister Qinglian." Gong Yang Huan said coldly, "Although you weren't here, this time the decision of the Elders Hall was passed by five people. So, even if you object, it's invalid."
"How can this be? How can this be? Isn't this the same as pushing Xiu 'er into a fire pit? How could Junior Sister Qinglian agree? "The old scholar was quite angry." I'm going to ask Junior Sister Qinglian about this matter. "
All this time, the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Split Cloud Sect had always been in a state of opposition and competition. All of a sudden, they had come up with a marriage alliance, wanting to be on good terms with the Split Cloud Sect. How could the old scholar accept this all of a sudden?
Not only the Old Scholar, but the Old Thief and Old Man Mu were also against it.
However, Hu Qinglian, the aunt of the person involved, had spoken. Although the two of them objected, there was nothing they could do.
"You can go and ask. Now that great chaos is about to rise, an alliance between my Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Open Cloud Sect is only beneficial and harmless. Moreover, Zi Tian is a person of great fortune. A calamity is about to befall the Ancient Desolate Continent, and he is the one to face it. My Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Open Cloud Sect will support him with all our strength," Gong Yang Huan said.
"Bullshit!" The old Confucian scholar couldn't help but curse, "Gong Yang Huan, could it be that you've forgotten about that matter? That was our Heavenly Dragon Sect's humiliation. If it weren't for the Clearcloud Sect, would our Heavenly Dragon Sect have fallen to its current state? "
"The greater good of the world comes first," Gong Yang Huan said indifferently. "For the Ancient Desolate Continent, for the inheritance of my Heavenly Dragon Sect, we must do this."
Yang Hongwu was the most shocked.
Hu Xiu 'er and Zi Tian's marriage alliance. This matter had caught Yang Hongwu unprepared.
He and Hu Xiu 'er had just developed a bit of good feelings. Putting this aside, the most important thing was that Hu Xiu' er was probably the only Pure Yin Immortal Physique in the Ancient Desolate Continent apart from Yu Ji.
Within a year, if he couldn't dual cultivate with Hu Xiu 'er, his body would explode and he would die.
However, breaking through in a year's time and stopping the marriage alliance between Hu Xiu 'er and Zi Tian was probably not an easy matter.
Smiling bitterly, Yang Hongwu could only smile bitterly now. Right now, he was already facing a great danger.
This was probably the greatest danger he'd ever encountered in his life.
"Gao Zheng, now that our Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Clearcloud Sect have already formed an alliance, and Zi Tian is also our Heavenly Dragon Sect's son-in-law and Hu Xiu 'er's fiancé. Yang Hongwu secretly ambushed Zi Tian and stole Zi Tian's opportunity. Deal with it as you see fit. I hope you'll make a fair decision." Finished speaking, Gong Yang Huan ignored everyone and turned to leave.
Seeing this situation, Yang Hongwu inwardly cried that things were bad.
Putting aside Hu Xiu 'er's matter, he had a great problem right now.
If the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Clearcloud Sect were enemies, then he'd ambushed them and stole them. Not only would there be no problems, but it would also be equivalent to venting the anger of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's disciples and giving the Heavenly Dragon Sect face.
However, once they formed an alliance, the essence changed.
Ambushing and framing an ally, breaking the alliance, and ruining the plans of two great sects — these few crimes were no joke.
Gao Zheng furrowed his brows, not expecting things to develop like this.
As a fair enforcer, as a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Gao Zheng clearly remembered the damage that the Clearcloud Sect had done to the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Yang Hongwu had screwed over the Clearcloud Sect, and made the Clearcloud Sect's most outstanding True Disciple, Zi Tian, suffer a great loss. This was something that Gao Zheng was very willing to see.
But now, he had no choice but to deal with Yang Hongwu and release Zi Chenyu, so the displeasure in his heart could be imagined.
Gao Zheng was conflicted, but Zi Chenyu was happy. Not only was he not wrong, but he also performed meritorious deeds. Hu Xiu 'er and Zi Tian were connected by marriage, so his position in the Heavenly Dragon Sect would also rise accordingly. Zi Chenyu was naturally immensely pleased with himself.
He looked at Gao Zheng and said, "Elder Gao, how do you think this matter should be handled? Should I be sent to the detention room, or should Yang Hongwu be sent to the enforcement dungeon? "
When Duan Qian heard Zi Chenyu's words, she couldn't help but gnash her teeth in anger. His intentions were punishable, his intentions were punishable, too vicious. What kind of place was the enforcement dungeon? It was a prison specifically used to deal with those disciples who had committed great blunders.
"Elder Gao, I think this is inappropriate. This time, I had Yang Hongwu accompany me to complete the True Disciple promotion mission. Junior Apprentice Brother Yang only did that to help me complete the promotion mission. Moreover, there's another point. We didn't know about the marriage between Zi Tian and Senior Apprentice Sister Xiu 'er at all. Before this, our Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Clearcloud Sect were enemies, so this matter can't be attributed to Junior Apprentice Brother Yang. Junior Apprentice Brother Yang isn't at fault, "Duan Qian said loudly." Regarding this matter, I just want to say that Zi Tian's skills are inferior. "
When Gao Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
Duan Qian was speaking the truth. So what if it was a marriage? When Yang Hongwu did this, he didn't know about the marriage between Zi Tian and Hu Xiu 'er at all. At that time, the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Clearcloud Sect were still in a hostile state.
When Zi Chenyu heard this, he shouted loudly, "Twisting words and forcing logic, this is twisting words and forcing logic! What if this matter isn't handled properly, and the Clearcloud Sect blames us? If we don't appease Zi Tian's fury and destroy the grand plan of our two great sects' alliance, can you bear the responsibility? Can Yang Hongwu bear the responsibility? "
Gao Zheng was rather troubled. After all, this was related to the future of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. As the enforcement elder, he knew about the great calamity of the Ancient Desolate Continent. The Devil Sect was already beginning to stir.
