In this chaos, only the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda with its superior status could remain calm, except for the occasional rumble caused by demons attacking the seal.
Supremacy Qing Xuan gathered all his elite disciples in the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda and ordered everyone to be on high alert.
The higher-ups of the Keelung Sect gathered on the ninth floor of the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda to observe the situation.
"Reporting — Supremacy, the people from the Tianji Palace are here."
"The people from the Raging Fire Palace are here."
"The people from the Ice Luan Palace are here too."
Hearing the report from their disciples, the surrounding people had different expressions.
Guardian Zhen Chong laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the people from the various palaces would come as soon as the Supremacy issued the summoning order. Who said that our Keelung Sect is divided? As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Although we have some differences, we are still a family in the end! "
"That's right, that's right! We can use people's hearts! "
The others also agreed, and their expressions were obviously more relaxed.
However, Supremacy Qing Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and a trace of deep doubt flashed in his eyes.
The Tianji Palace, Raging Fire Palace, and Ice Luan Palace had already announced three years ago that they would close their doors and ignore worldly affairs. But today, they actually came together. This was obviously not normal!
However, since they were already here, they could only take one step at a time.
Supremacy Qing Xuan pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Guardian Zhen, go receive the people from the various palaces and let them wait in the meeting hall —"
"No need!"
Before Supremacy Qing Xuan could finish, he was interrupted by a cold voice.
Then, a group of powerful experts with powerful auras walked in.
The leaders were the Palace Masters of the Tianji Palace, Raging Fire Palace, and Ice Luan Palace. Behind them were various elder-level experts, a total of more than thirty people. Each of them was above the Heavenly Transformation Realm, and there were as many as seven or eight Transcendent Realm experts.
The Raging Fire Palace Master, Chi Tiande, looked at Qing Xuan with a faint smile on his face, "Supremacy Qing Xuan, you issued the summoning order and asked us to come here. What happened in the headquarters that made so many people come?"
Reverend Qing Xuan slowly stood up and said with a deep look in his eyes, "I have divined the Heavenly Axiom and predicted that the Keelung Sect would face a great calamity in the near future. That is why I have gathered all of you to protect the Dragon-sealing Pagoda. I hope you can understand."
"Hahahaha! Qing Xuan! I have to admit that your calculations are very accurate! However, this calamity won't befall the entire Keelung Sect. It will only befall you! "Chi Tiande laughed coldly.
"Hmm? What does Palace Lord Chi mean? "Yin Bieli frowned as he asked.
Chi Tiande sneered, "What I mean is very simple. Venerable Qing Xuan is a fatuous and incompetent person, which has caused the Keelung Sect to suffer heavy losses in the past few years. If this goes on, I'm afraid our Keelung Sect will fall apart and fall out of the Seven Great Sects!
Our fellow disciples have already discussed and we feel that Venerable Qing Xuan is no longer suitable to continue to control the headquarters, much less the Dragon Sealing Pagoda! Qing Xuan, step down! "
"What? This … "
The higher-ups of the headquarters turned pale with fright and looked at each other in dismay.
Venerable Qing Xuan's expression was terrifyingly gloomy. His gaze swept across the faces of the other palace lords and asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoists, could it be that you all have the same thoughts?"
The Palace Lord of the Occult Palace said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, regardless of whether it is the Dragon Slaying Plan or the Divine Artifact Plan, the facts have proven that they are all wrong. Our Keelung Sect has already suffered heavy losses in the past few years because of a mere Lin Xuan.
If we allow you to continue tormenting us, I truly can't see the Keelung Sect's future. Since you can't do a good job, you should step down and let someone more worthy! "
The Palace Lord of the Ice Luan Palace also said, "That's right! Qing Xuan, although your Dragon Slaying Plan caused the Dragon Soul Hall to fall apart, it also released the Dragons clan and ruined the fortune of our Keelung Sect.
You want to use Lin Xuan as a cauldron to refine a Divine Artifact, but Lin Xuan is the Son of Fortune favored by the heavens. You're fighting against the heavens, how can you not lose? Qing Xuan, you're no longer suitable to sit in this position. If you still want to retain some dignity, step down on your own accord!
Don't think that we can't do anything to you just because you control the Dragon Sealing Pagoda. Since we dared to come, we naturally have ways to make you unable to use the Dragon Sealing Pagoda! "
"How dare you! Venerable Qing Xuan oversees the headquarters and leads the Dao Sect. This is according to the arrangement of the Xuanyuan Lord. Are you guys thinking of rebelling?! "
The powerhouses of the headquarters could not help but be shocked and furious. They all released their auras and drew their swords.
The people of the three palaces were also ready to attack. They were not afraid at all.
At this moment, Qing Xuan's expression calmed down. He glanced at the three Palace Lords and sneered, "It's not impossible for me to hand over the Dragon-sealing Pagoda, but I wonder which one of you will replace me?"
Chi Tiande snorted, "Qing Xuan, don't waste your time. Since we can come, we'll naturally be fully prepared. You just need to hand over the control of the Dragon Sealing Pagoda!"
Venerable Qing Xuan's eyes were gloomy. He snorted heavily, "I, Qing Xuan, can't do it well. Do you think you're better than me? Fine! Since you want it, then take it! I'd like to see how you guys can pick up the slack and let the Keelung Sect out of this predicament! "
"Hmm? You're really willing to hand it over? "
Seeing Qing Xuan so straightforward, the three Palace Lords were not happy. Instead, they became more vigilant.
"You can't, Venerable One! You're the next Dao Master appointed by the Xuanyuan Lord. It's natural for you to be in charge of the Dragon Sealing Pagoda. How can you hand it over to them? "Yin Bieli anxiously said.
"That's right, Venerable One! With your cultivation and strength, you're the second most powerful person in our Keelung Sect. With the Dao Master not in this realm, who else but you can preside over the Keelung Sect? "Zhen Chong also spoke with righteous indignation.
Venerable Qing Xuan's gaze swept across the crowd. He sighed sadly and said compassionately, "The Keelung Sect has reached its current state. It can no longer endure any more torment. Since my path isn't working, it's not a bad idea to try another path. As long as our Keelung Sect doesn't fall into chaos, we'll still be one of the Seven Great Sects!"
If it was before today, he definitely wouldn't hand over his authority so easily. However, Lin Xuan's crow's cry had disrupted the fate of everyone in the headquarters.
If he insisted on not retreating, there would be a bitter civil war. It was unknown how many people would survive. Even his own life might not be guaranteed.
In order to avoid internal strife and for the continuation of the Keelung Sect's orthodoxy, he decided to give in.
At this moment, Venerable Qing Xuan's image was unprecedentedly lofty. Even the people of the three palaces showed expressions of admiration.
"Little Nine, come out!" Venerable Qing Xuan shouted in a deep voice.
Buzz!
The space shook slightly. A phantom of a nine-headed serpent appeared in the main hall. It was the spirit of the Dragon-sealing Pagoda.
The nine-headed serpent spirit had eighteen pairs of eyes. Some were benevolent, some were kind, some were sinister, some were ruthless, some were bloodthirsty, and some were crazy … Altogether, it was unfathomable and daunting.
Looking at the spirit, Chi Tiande and the other two palace masters couldn't help but look at it with burning eyes.
As long as they controlled the nine-headed serpent spirit, they could control the entire Dragon-sealing Pagoda.
The Dragon-sealing Pagoda was a peak Dao ranked treasure. It could be called a quasi-divine weapon. In the entire True Martial Realm's Divine Weapon Ranking, it was enough to rank in the top five. Its power was grand and awe-inspiring.
"Master, what orders do you have?" The nine-headed serpent spirit looked at Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan looked at Chi Tiande and the other two palace masters and said, "There are some ancient demons sealed in the Dragon-sealing Pagoda. There are also a few ghost kings from the Underworld, so we can't lose control for even a moment.
Next, I will cancel the contract with the spirit. No matter who inherits the Dragon-sealing Pagoda, they must be recognized as master by the spirit within one breath. Otherwise, there will be great trouble! Who will do it? "
"I'll do it!"
Chi Tiande stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, his expression was calm, but there was a trace of unconcealable excitement in the depths of his eyes.
If he could control the Dragon-sealing Pagoda, his battle strength would be close to that of a Divine Transformation Realm expert. He would become one of the few powerhouses in this realm.
Although the palace masters of the Heavenly Mystery Palace and Ice Luan Palace were envious, they didn't compete with Chi Tiande.
This was because before they came, the three sides had already discussed and decided to push Chi Tiande to the top. The other two sides would compensate him.
Qing Xuan nodded. He turned to the nine-headed serpent spirit and said, "Little Nine, as your master, I will choose your next master. It's him, Chi Tiande! Do you remember? "
Little Nine's eighteen eyes flashed wildly, but it answered without hesitation, "Yes, master!"
"Good! After I cancel the contract with you, you must immediately sign a contract with Chi Tiande! Do you understand? "
"Yes, master!" Little Nine nodded solemnly.
Qing Xuan let out a long breath. His heart was a little complicated. He had controlled the Dragon-sealing Pagoda for sixty years and had a certain degree of attachment to it.
He also knew Little Nine like the back of his hand. As an artifact spirit, Little Nine's emotional memories would be erased every once in a while. It wasn't allowed to have its own subjective consciousness and could only exist as a tool. Therefore, he wasn't worried that Little Nine would go against his will.
Next, under everyone's unblinking gazes, Venerable Qing Xuan used the power of his spirit to draw runes, gradually canceling the connection with Little Nine.
Chi Tiande's breathing couldn't help but quicken. The moment Qing Xuan canceled the contract with Little Nine, he impatiently stepped forward and ordered, "Little Nine, come! Let's sign the contract! "
However, at this moment, something that no one expected happened.
The gigantic nine-headed serpent spirit actually laughed eerily and disappeared without a trace.
Then, a burst of sinister and ear-piercing laughter floated in the air.
"Ga ga! Ga ga ga ga! I, the Nine-headed Demon King, am finally free! Ga ga ga ga! "
"You damned humans! Stupid humans! Do you really think that you can control me forever by taking away my memories? Ridiculous! Stupid! Ga ga ga ga! "
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
Qing Xuan, Chi Tiande, and all the powerhouses of the Keelung Sect were dumbfounded and horrified.
