There was an uproar.
Guo Nanshan was the First Disciple of Aoyama, and Zhuo Rusui was the Last Disciple, the two most valued disciples of the Immortal Liu Ci.
Though they were only disciples of the third generation, they were not ordinary disciples of the third generation. They had always enjoyed a special status in Aoyama.
Now, the two disciples of the first and the last stood out against Bai Rujing at the same time … Just like what Jing Jiu said, Bai Rujing, do you really have the right to represent Tianguang Peak?
Bai Rujing was surprised, his body slightly stiff. He glanced at the other elders and disciples of Tianguang Peak.
He had a high status on Tianguang Peak, and his prestige was growing day by day. However, those disciples avoided his line of sight, and some elders even stared at him angrily.
Bai Rujing suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. He looked at Guo Nanshan and Zhuo Rusui and said in a low voice, "Don't forget that I'm your Senior Uncle!"
Then, he suddenly turned around and shouted at Jing Jiu, "Do you think your tricks will work? I'm the most senior elder of Tianguang Peak! I'm in the State of Broken Sea! Who has the right to oppose me? "
Yes, it was a problem, but it was not a problem. So, Jing Jiu didn't pay attention to him.
Mo Chi walked out, his ugly face full of regret and sadness. "What about me?" he asked.
Bai Rujing said with a bitter voice, "Why did you come out? Do you want to compete with me? "
Mo Chi said, "I've never competed with you for hundreds of years. But this time, I have to. Because we are from Tianguang Peak, we have to carry out the Posthumous Edict of the Sect Master. But what are you doing?"
Zhuo Rusui said, "That's what I mean. You've been opposing our Master's Posthumous Edict since the beginning. What qualifications do you have to represent Tianguang Peak?"
Bai Rujing didn't pay attention to him. He stared at Mo Chi and said through gritted teeth, "Don't forget that I'm the Big Brother!"
Mo Chi seemed to be struggling, as if he didn't know whether he should say something or not.
Jing Jiu glanced at Yuan Qijing.
Yuan Qijing frowned slightly, looked at Bai Rujing, and said, "Mo Chi entered the school one day earlier than you."
Bai Rujing's face turned pale and he said, "It should be clearly recorded in the register that I joined earlier. Otherwise, I could go to Xilai Peak to check."
Yuan Qijing said indifferently, "You were the one who persuaded him to change. Do you want me to continue?"
Bai Rujing's face turned paler.
At this time, everyone knew that there must be a hidden story behind this matter, but no one knew exactly what it was.
"Does it matter if it's one day earlier or one day later? How baffling. "
Zhuo Rusui yawned and said listlessly.
His words actually mocked Yuan Qijing, Bai Mo, and even Jing Jiu, who had been silent all this while.
"So what if you're the oldest? I'm still not convinced. "
He looked at Bai Rujing and said expressionlessly, "Then should we ask around Tianguang Peak to see how many people support you?"
Jing Jiu found that he appreciated this kid more and more.
Bai Rujing knew that things had come to this point and couldn't go on. He said to Jing Jiu with an extremely gloomy face, "Even if you succeed in provoking others, do you think anyone will support you?"
Yes, even if Tianguang Peak supported the Posthumous Edict of the Sect Master, they only had one vote.
Besides Shenmo Peak, who else would support Jing Jiu to be the Sect Master?
Bai Rujing thought so, and so did Zhenren, Fu Wang, and most of the disciples of Aoyama.
"I support him."
It was Nan Wang who spoke.
Bai Rujing's face became even gloomier.
Many people were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
If you agreed with the Posthumous Edict of the Sect Master from the beginning, why did you support Bai Rujing's decision to let each peak choose?
"I know this Posthumous Edict is messy, but it's his last wish. Of course, I have to support him."
Nan Wang said indifferently, "And don't you think it's interesting?"
…
…
It was supposed to be a losing situation, but with the change of Tianguang Peak and Nan Wang's seemingly irresponsible vote, the situation suddenly turned around and they saw a glimmer of hope.
Shenmo Peak would naturally support Jing Jiu, so he had the support of three peaks. What if Yuan Qijing also voted for him?
Bai Rujing looked gloomy, but his mood hadn't hit rock bottom yet. The current situation seemed dangerous, but it wasn't. After all, the other side had to get the support of six peaks, which was still far from enough.
At this moment, Chen Youtian suddenly said, "Of course, I also support the Posthumous Edict of the Sect Master."
Because of the incident with Lei Poyun, Bihu Peak had been keeping a low profile these years, even a bit timid.
In many people's opinion, he would abstain at most. Why would he choose to support Jing Jiu?
In fact, they weren't wrong. Chen Youtian was about to abstain, but at that moment, he saw the white cat squatting by Zhao Layue's skirt …
And the white cat was looking at him with extremely cold eyes.
He had recognized the other side, so what else could he do?
Chen Youtian's statement caused another uproar, and Bai Rujing and others looked even gloomier. Fortunately, the situation was still under control.
As long as they had one more vote, Jing Jiu would lose.
That vote was in the hands of Xilai Peak.
Elder Cheng, who represented Xilai Peak, expressed his opposition to Jing Jiu's succession as the Sect Master without hesitation.
This time, Jing Jiu didn't ask him what qualifications he had to represent Xilai Peak like he did with Bai Rujing.
The dust had settled.
Yuan Qijing didn't need to vote. Even if he supported Jing Jiu, it would be meaningless, because it wouldn't be enough even if he supported Zhao Layue.
"Unless you have the ability to defeat all the peaks like Taiping Zhenren and the Immortal Jingyang …"
Bai Rujing looked calm, but he was actually extremely angry. He stared into Jing Jiu's eyes and said, "Otherwise, you won't be the Sect Master today!"
Jing Jiu still ignored him.
"Then who will be the next Sect Master? According to this method, no one can get the support of the six peaks. Are we just going to leave the positions empty? "
Nan Wang ignored Bai Rujing. He looked at Guangyuan Zhenren and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Even Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing couldn't do anything to his Little Sister, so what could Guangyuan Zhenren do?
He didn't want to argue with her at all. He said without hesitation, "I recommend Senior Brother Yuan to be the next Sect Master."
Many people thought that Guangyuan Zhenren was the best candidate for the Sect Master, but he proposed Yuan Qijing. This was a bit surprising, but it was the best solution.
Just like Nan Wang said, now that the two sides had fallen out, it would be difficult for anyone to get the support of all six peaks at the same time, which meant that it would be difficult to convince the masses.
Now in Aoyama, only Yuan Qijing, a figure in the Heavenly Arrival Realm, had this prestige.
Even though Yuan Qijing had been unwilling to be the Sect Master for some reason, looking at the situation today, in order to avoid internal strife in Aoyama, he had to do it.
The elders and disciples of the peaks all thought that this should be the final outcome of the day.
Who dared to refuse?
Meow ~
A cat's meow suddenly came from the top of Tianguang Peak.
Countless people looked in that direction and saw the white cat crawling out from under Zhao Layue's skirt.
Guangyuan Zhenren and Fu Wang's expressions changed slightly. Nan Wang's eyes widened in surprise, and Bai Rujing's expression was extremely vigilant, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
The disciples of Aoyama found it strange, wondering why there was a cat here.
In the next moment, they saw the expressions of their masters, and they couldn't help but feel surprised, wondering what could be so scary about a little cat?
Ah Da shook his body, and his long white hair spread out, looking like a dandelion.
However, if one looked closely at the cat's hair, they would find that it was tufts of hair that looked like swords.
Ordinary disciples of Aoyama didn't have such good eyesight, but they could feel a powerful and unimaginable pressure appearing on the top of Tianguang Peak.
Countless muffled groans could be heard, and many disciples with lower levels fell to the ground with their legs weakened. Even someone like Zhuo Rusui had to release his sword will to resist the pressure.
The disciples of Aoyama were extremely shocked, thinking that the pressure must have reached the Reaching Heaven State. This white cat … what kind of monster is it?
However, everyone had already understood the meaning of the white cat's meow.
I refuse to accept it.
…
…
Guangyuan Zhenren said helplessly, "Lord White Ghost, please stop your power."
Ah Da glanced at him, and the pressure on the top of the peak suddenly disappeared.
Hearing the words "Lord White Ghost", the disciples of Aoyama immediately guessed its identity. They were shocked and excited at the same time. Everyone knew that there was a mysterious Lord White Ghost among the guardians of Aoyama. Few people had seen its real body. They didn't expect that it would appear today, and it was actually a … hmm … a cat?
Gu Qing looked at Bai Rujing and said, "It's written clearly in the rules that the four guardians have to be consulted when the peaks elect a new leader."
Ah Da walked to the small hut behind the stone tablet, and its fluffy white hair gradually smoothed down.
It walked to the chair, jumped up, and landed on Jing Jiu's lap.
It turned its head slowly and looked at all the people on the peak.
Its eyes were indifferent, and its temperament was extraordinary, as if it was looking down on the world.
A hand fell on its head, and then slid backward, steadily and gently.
Jing Jiu praised, "Good boy."
…
…
Countless people fixed their eyes on the small hut.
Jing Jiu sat on the chair.
The white cat was lying on his lap, snoring softly.
It was like countless thunders falling on people's hearts.
This scene shocked many people, including Bai Rujing.
After a while, he came to his senses. Thinking of Gu Qing's words, he felt a little bitter in his mouth.
It was indeed written in the rules of Aoyama. To elect a leader, the guardians of Aoyama and the peak masters had their own votes.
What was the attitude of the guardians on this matter? The other two didn't know, but the White Ghost's attitude was very clear.
It had already jumped up, its eyes had been touched, and it was already snoring!
How else could a cat express its attitude?
Guangyuan Zhenren, Fu Wang, and Nan Wang vaguely knew about the recent situation of the White Ghost, but they didn't expect that it actually stood on the side of Shenmo Peak.
Ah Da's attitude at this time was not because of Jing Jiu's request, but because of its own thoughts.
Of course, it didn't want Yuan Qijing to be the leader, otherwise how could it meet that dog in the future?
Ah Da knew better than anyone else how a dog would bully its master. Back when Taiping Zhenren took that dog with him in the hermit peaks, he had suffered a lot.
Though Ah Da looked like a lazy cat who only knew how to lie in the bosom of a beauty and ignore everything else, he was nevertheless the Guardian of Aoyama, so he wouldn't be careless when it came to his own interests.
The situation was like the mountain path on Liangwang Peak, where the peak turned back and the road took a turn.
The eight peak masters and the three guardians of Aoyama made up eleven votes. To become the leader, one needed at least eight votes.
If Jing Jiu could get all the votes, namely the support of Yuan Qijing, the Dead Dog, and the Round Turtle, he would become the rightful leader.
"Do you support him or not?"
Yuan Qijing asked while looking at the Round Turtle under the stone monument.
Those disciples of Aoyama who hadn't been to Tianguang Peak were startled again.
They had received too many shocks that day.
They had thought that the turtle under the stone monument was a real Stone Turtle; was it also a Principal Guardian?
The Round Turtle didn't open his eyes.
The twilight was over, and countless stars were shining in the night sky. The peak top was still bright, but it was even quieter.
Everybody was looking at the Stone Turtle, waiting for his decision.
Jing Jiu was aware that it would take a few years for the Round Turtle to make a decision based on his dilly-dallying nature, so he uttered "hmm" impatiently.
"Hmm" twice.
The Round Turtle opened his eyes, and reached out his head to tear off a small piece of starlight and swallowed it. Then he uttered "hmm" with an indignant expression.
"Hmm" softly.
