The yellow-faced elder nodded slowly. "As elders, we only have the right to make suggestions. We do not have the right to make decisions. Whoever becomes the next hill master will be decided by the hill master alone. There is no need to say more!"
"Yes!" the other five elders said in a deep voice.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Greetings, Elder Jin."
Although he had never seen him before, he knew that this was Jin Ye. Originally, there were only two people guarding the Surpassing State, Jin Ye and Hu Huarong. After Crouching Bull Mountain's strength grew, they sent another four elders over to help.
Chu Li guessed that this was also a method of dividing power. It was a choice that Zhuge Feng had no choice but to make. Otherwise, under Jin Ye and Hu Huarong's control, the Surpassing State would be like a mountain outside of the mountain, out of Crouching Bull Mountain's control.
At the moment, it seemed like Zhuge Feng's plan had failed. The four elders that were sent over had all submitted to Jin Ye. After all, Jin Ye's prestige was extremely high, and he was the Eldest Senior Brother. These elders had nothing to say about submitting to Jin Ye.
Chu Li scanned the Omniscient Mirror and saw through their thoughts. He sighed to himself. Zhuge Feng still could not win against Jin Ye.
He suddenly looked up at the sky.
Above the clouds, the Divine Gate faintly appeared and slowly opened.
Then, a beam of light rose from the valley and rushed to the sky. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the Divine Gate.
Chu Li's expression changed. It was Zhuge Feng.
Jin Ye and the others had good eyesight. They were shocked to see Zhuge Feng.
Xia Liyan shouted, "Hill master!"
Zhuge Feng seemed to be looking down at everyone. His gaze finally landed on Chu Li. He shook his head and turned to enter the Divine Gate.
The Divine Gate slowly closed and disappeared into the clouds.
Xia Liyan's expression was extremely ugly.
He brought Chu Li here to see the hill master. He wanted the hill master to solidify Chu Li's position and become the next hill master.
He had already announced that Zhuge Tian would be the next hill master in Crouching Bull Mountain. However, he did not announce it to the people of the Surpassing State. As long as the hill master said it, Jin Ye and the others could only obey no matter how powerful they were. This was the authority of the hill master.
However, they did not expect that before they could see the hill master, the hill master would ascend to the sky. It was obvious that something went wrong with his cultivation.
Chu Li scoffed. "No wonder everyone is blocking here. Looks like you all know the hill master ascended!"
Hu Huarong was shocked. "Zhuge Tian, don't talk nonsense. The hill master is in isolated cultivation in a secret place. We don't even know where he is. How would we know that the hill master has ascended to heaven? Don 'to to to us! "
Jin Ye shook his head. "You're so young, but your heart is so vicious!"
He did not expect Zhuge Tian to react so quickly and take the initiative to attack first.
This was not something an ordinary person could do. It required sufficient intelligence. Zhuge Tian was so powerful. If he really became the Hill Master, they would not have a good life. Hence, they had to stop him.
Xia Liyan revealed a hesitant expression and looked suspiciously at the six Grand Elders.
Hu Huarong shouted in a deep voice, "Little Xia, why are you looking at me like that? "Tian," Hu To say..
"Tian. to you. to know. to do to to to to to you. to not to to. to. to to to to.
"As long as you know!" Hu Huarong replied snappily, "No matter how dissatisfied we are with Mountain Chieftain, we won't go so far as to not be able to meet our ancestors. In the future, we still have to ascend to the Realm Beyond Heaven!"
Xia Liyan nodded lightly.
He believed in this point. If he really committed the act of murdering the Mountain Chieftain, there would definitely be no place for him in the future. Even if he could live freely here for a while, once he reached the Realm Beyond Heavens, he would definitely be severely punished. His life would be worse than death.
Hu Huarong glared at Chu Li. "Zhuge Tian, you're gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure!"
Chu Li shook his head. "I don't believe it either, but this is too much of a coincidence. Don't you think so, Elders? Why was my path blocked the moment I reached the Surpassing State? Why was I not allowed to see the Mountain Chieftain? Of all times, Mountain Chieftain ascended to heaven. "
Hu Huarong scoffed, "We don't want you to see the Mountain Chieftain, but we have no intention of harming her!"
They did not want to harm the Hill Master, but rather, they wanted to teach Zhuge Tian a lesson and cause him to lose all of his dignity. This would cause him to fall in the hearts of the younger disciples and reduce their support, allowing Lu Tianji to regain his position.
Lu Tianji was like a fish in water in the Surpassing State. He made friends with the younger disciples and had a good relationship with them. As long as Zhuge Tian's prestige was reduced, Lu Tianji's chances would increase greatly. As for the Elders of their generation, they did not need to say much. As long as they mentioned it, they would definitely support Lu Tianji.
In this way, everyone would submit to Lu Tianji, and Zhuge Feng was a person who prioritized public interests over private interests. As long as everyone wholeheartedly submitted to Lu Tianji, he would not take the risk of everyone in Crouching Bull Mountain being disunited and forcefully push Zhuge Tian to the position.
Chu Li said, "It's hard to predict a person's heart. Who knows? For the position of Mountain Chieftain, everyone personally went into battle. How could you not do something even more excessive?"
He did not wait for everyone to speak and said in a deep voice, "Back then, the Mountain Chieftain personally announced that I would be the next Mountain Chieftain. Everyone must have heard of this, right?"
"As long as you haven't become the Mountain Chieftain, there can be variables." Hu Huarong scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "Now that the Mountain Chieftain has ascended to heaven, is there still a dispute over the position of Mountain Chieftain?"
Hu Huarong's face darkened.
"Let's wait for everyone to gather before discussing the position of Mountain Chieftain." Jin Ye said in a deep voice, "The few of us should also move and return to the mountain to take a look."
Chu Li said, "The Elders guard the Surpassing State. It's a great responsibility. How can you leave so easily?"
If they returned, they would definitely stir up trouble and make Crouching Bull Mountain restless.
"Junior Brother Jing and the others are enough to guard here. Back then, it was only me and Junior Brother Hu," Jin Ye said calmly. He turned around and closed fist saluted. "Junior Brother Jing, Junior Brother Qi, Junior Brother Huang, Junior Brother Mo, I'll leave this place to you."
"Senior Brother Jin, don't worry." The four Elders closed fist saluted back.
Chu Li took a deep breath and smiled. "Elder Jin, please go back first. I've just arrived here and want to stay for a while."
"… Alright." Jin Ye was stunned. He stared at Chu Li and slowly nodded.
He was shocked and uncertain.
With Zhuge Tian's intelligence, he should be able to see through his plan. However, not only did he not go back to stop him, but he stayed here instead. Was he not afraid that he would persuade everyone in Crouching Bull Mountain and prevent him from taking the position?
He thought about it and guessed that Chu Li would only stay here for two days. Then, he would rush back quickly to fight with him in Crouching Bull Mountain to win over the people's hearts.
He decided to speed things up. After returning to the mountain, he would cut the Gordian knot and strive for two days to calm the people's hearts.
With his prestige, it would not be difficult.
He had been guarding the Surpassing State. All disciples who wanted to break through came to the Surpassing State and received his guidance and teachings. They were respectful and grateful to him. As long as he gave the order, everyone would listen.
Xia Liyan looked at Chu Li anxiously.
Chu Li said, "As expected of the Surpassing State. It's isolated from the world and formed its own world."
He realized that the Surpassing State was like another world. It was isolated from the original world. He could not even sense Xiao Qi and the others. It was really strange. He admired the person who built the Surpassing State.
This was a true divine power. Compared to martial arts, changing the world was a real ability.
Jin Ye said faintly, "A world of its own. Well said! I'll take my leave. "
He turned around and left after he finished speaking.
All the Elders left with him.
