Zhuge Feng coughed lightly and looked at the other six elders. "What do you think, elders?"
They were hesitant and hesitant.
Hu Huarong and the others used the Surpassing State to fight against the sect. They vaguely wanted to split the sect and become independent. Crippling their martial arts was not an exaggeration. The Young Lord's action was satisfying, but Hu Huarong was not the only one in the Surpassing State. There was another elder, Jin Ye.
Jin Ye was the most difficult to deal with.
If Hu Huarong stayed, Jin Ye would definitely cause trouble.
Jin Ye's cultivation level was higher than Hu Huarong's. Although the Young Lord crippled Hu Huarong, it was another matter if he could deal with Jin Ye.
Moreover, the two strongest elders in the sect were crippled. If they crippled the other, their strength would be empty. Someone might want to take advantage of the situation!
They had many things to think about, so they were hesitant.
Chu Li scoffed. "What else is there to think about? Keeping him in the sect is already very lenient. If we let him go, we will be too weak!"
"Sigh …" Murong Chun shook his head and sighed. "Elder Hu, everyone misses you. Elder Hu, you have a lot of experience in martial arts. You are the best to teach the younger generation. Staying in the Surpassing State is a waste."
"I am also teaching the younger generation in the Surpassing State." Hu Huarong sneered. "You have guts!"
Murong Chun said, "The teaching at the beginning of cultivation is the most important. Elder Hu, you are the most suitable. Hill Master, I think we should talk to Elder Jin and ask Elder Hu to stay."
"It's better to stay," Xia Liyan said.
"Sigh … If that's the case, then I'll write a letter to Elder Jin and ask Elder Hu and Lu Tianji to stay in the sect and recover their martial arts!" Zhuge Feng nodded and said, "Elder Hu has been wronged!"
Hu Huarong shut his mouth and did not say anything else. He slowly closed his eyes.
"Elder Hu must be tired. Let's not disturb him. Let's go!" Zhuge Feng said.
Everyone left the courtyard.
They all looked at Chu Li.
Zhuge Feng scoffed. "Let's go to the basilica!"
Chu Li said, "There is nothing to say. Both master and disciple are not good people. They plotted against me. I am just returning the favor!"
"Nonsense!" Zhuge Feng scoffed, "You crippled him just like that. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"
Chu Li said, "They shouldn't have provoked me. Goodbye!"
He left as soon as he finished speaking. Qiao San quickly cupped his fists at everyone and followed behind.
Zhuge Feng looked at Chu Li's back and sighed.
"Hill Master, the young lord's temper is supported by his martial arts. He might be able to raise the morale of the Crouching Bull Mountain," Murong Chun said. "In the future, no one will dare to provoke us!"
"He's too good at causing trouble and is unscrupulous!" Zhuge Feng shook his head. "If he meets a top-notch master, I'm afraid he'll be at a disadvantage.
"They were broken because they weren't strong enough," Murong Chun said. "Crouching Bull Mountain has had enough. It's time for us to be strong!"
"You guys …" Zhuge Feng shook his head.
He felt that the reason why his son was able to obtain their support was because of his martial arts, but also because of his temper. They had all had enough of their anger and could not wait to vent it out. This was not a good thing, as it could easily cause a disaster and lead to death.

In the evening, Zhou Hange and Chu Dazhi arrived at the restaurant in the ravine.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Duan Wu Ya, Huang Tao, and Li Weiran sitting at a table by the window. They were having a heated discussion with the disciples around them.
When they saw the two enter, everyone stopped talking and greeted them.
To normal disciples, Zhou Hange and Duan Wu Ya could not be offended. Even if they were biased, they still had to be polite.
Zhou Hange and Chu Dazhi sat at an empty table and ordered a few dishes to go with the wine. Then, they looked around.
Li Weiran came to their table and sat down. He scoffed. "Brother Zhou, Brother Chu, have you heard about the young lord?"
"What is it?" Chu Dazhi asked.
They really did not know what was going on.
When Murong Liang dragged them to meet the hill master, they almost offended the young lord. Out of anger, they left Murong Liang and hid at home to train their martial arts.
Li Weiran said, "The young lord crippled Elder Hu Huarong's martial arts!"
"Elder Hu Huarong?" Chu Dazhi was shocked. "How is that possible!"
"It's absolutely true!" Li Weiran scoffed. "Other than Elder Jin, the elder with the highest seniority in our sect is Elder Hu. However, the young lord crippled Elder Hu's martial arts. It's unbelievable!"
Zhou Hange asked, "Why?"
"It seems that Elder Hu's disciple, Lu Tianji, also wanted to fight for the next hill master and had a conflict with the young lord. Therefore, the young lord crippled Lu Tianji's martial arts first, and then crippled Elder Hu's martial arts. … Those who submit to me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. This is too violent!" Li Weiran shook his head and sighed. "If this goes on, he'll be the only one in our sect who has the final say. No one else will dare to speak up. Otherwise, he'll cripple their martial arts again!"
"That's not true." Zhou Hange shook his head. "The young lord is not that extreme. It must be Elder Hu and the others who provoked the young lord!"
"It's just to fight for the next hill master's position." Li Weiran scoffed. "Everyone will rely on their own abilities. We also believe that the hill master will not be biased. However, why did he cripple the martial arts of his fellow disciples, and even the elders?"
Zhou Hange asked, "Does anyone know why the young lord crippled their martial arts?"
Li Weiran shook his head. "No, but no matter what, he can't cripple their martial arts. He even crippled the elders' martial arts because of their insubordination. We don't dare to accept such a hill master!"
Everyone nodded.
Although the young lord's martial arts were extremely high and he had defeated all the experts of the younger generation, his temperament was eccentric and his methods were violent. They were worried that if he really became the hill master, he would be too strict with his subordinates and they would not have a good life.
Zhou Hange said in a low voice, "You don't understand the young lord at all. He's a very wise person, and he's involved in the struggle between the upper echelons. The inside story is very deep, and we don't understand at all. It's like looking at flowers in the fog. We can't see clearly, and we can't just follow the crowd."
"Anyway, we don't like the young lord and don't want him to be the next hill master!" Li Weiran pouted. "We can't just take over the position just because he's the hill master's son, right? That's too childish! "
Zhou Hange glanced at Duan Tianya and Huang Tao who were not far away and said coldly, "Who spread this news?"
"I don't know." Li Weiran said, "Do you think it's us? This is unjust! "
"Duan Tianya can't be the hill master." Zhou Hange said.
"Why not?" Li Weiran said, "Senior Brother Duan's martial arts are strong, and he has a good character. We can rest assured that he'll be the hill master."
Zhou Hange shook his head. "If you don't want to harm Senior Brother Duan, then be more honest. Don't encourage him, or else you'll end up like Lu Tianji!"
"Hmph, I don't think he would dare!" Li Weiran said.
Zhou Hange smiled and did not say anything else.
If he dared to cripple the elders' martial arts, then he would not dare to cripple a disciple. Did they think that the young lord was the kind of person who would care about what others thought?
