Maki Cangsheng smiled calmly and said, "Everyone, the reason why I dare to say that the Magic Lotus Sect's twelve-split system is flawed is because of the calamity that befell the Magic Lotus Sect twenty-four years ago.
Most of you here have only joined the Holy Lotus Sect in the past ten years, so you might not know much about the past.
"Twenty-four years ago, the reason why the powerful Magic Lotus Sect was destroyed was actually because the Keelung Sect and the Daqian dynasty's imperial court worked together to destroy it.
"And I, Maki Cangsheng, and the Daqian dynasty's crown prince, Yu Tianxing, became the biggest beneficiaries of that calamity.
What I want to say is that the reason why our plan succeeded back then was mainly because we took advantage of the internal conflicts within the Magic Lotus Sect, as well as the twelve-split system of the Magic Lotus Sect. "
"What! There's actually such a thing! "
"What a bunch of nonsense! Their motives are unforgivable! "
"As expected, it was the Keelung Sect and the Daqian dynasty that orchestrated all of this. How hateful!"
When the surrounding people heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. There were also some old members of the Magic Lotus Sect who looked at Maki Cangsheng with anger and resentment.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, had an indifferent gaze and an expressionless face as he sat on the throne.
He already had a rough idea about the calamity that befell the Magic Lotus Sect. The destruction of the Magic Lotus Sect and the destruction of the Dragon Soul Hall had many similarities.
The destruction of the Dragon Soul Hall had given him supreme fortune.
The destruction of the Magic Lotus Sect had given Maki Cangsheng and Yu Tianxing.
However, Maki Cangsheng and Yu Tianxing's roles were limited, so they didn't receive the majority of the Magic Lotus Sect's fortune.
On the other hand, the Dragon Soul Hall was destroyed by Lin Xuan's Luck Severing Blade, which buried the Dragon Soul Hall in its prime, so he received the most fortune.
Maki Cangsheng ignored the strange gazes around him and continued, "Back then, the twelve sect leaders of the Magic Lotus Sect were all powerful Divinity Realm experts with great perfection. They had great authority and control over the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people. However, this also bred their greater ambitions. Gradually, they obeyed the orders of the headquarters and disobeyed orders and refused to listen.
Do you know why all the higher-ups of the Magic Lotus Sect gathered at the headquarters back then?
Haha, I'll tell you the truth!
Six of the sect leaders had already been bribed by various major factions. The reason they gathered at the headquarters was actually to gather momentum and force the Magic Lotus Sect's Daolord to abdicate and destroy the Golden Book of Soul Seals, thus completely breaking free from the shackles of the headquarters!
Unfortunately, none of them expected that when they gathered at the headquarters, they would fall into the trap of the Daqian dynasty and the Keelung Sect, and all of them died an unnatural death. "
As soon as Maki Cangsheng finished speaking, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.
Most people didn't know much about the calamity that befell the Magic Lotus Sect. After all, among those related to it, those who deserved to die were already dead. The dead couldn't speak, and the living benefited from it. Naturally, they wouldn't mention this disgraceful past.
Today, when Maki Cangsheng revealed this secret, some people listened to it as entertainment, while others felt that their faith had collapsed and couldn't accept it.
After all, among the two hundred people present, about thirty of them were elders from the Magic Lotus Sect era. They were loyal to the Magic Lotus Sect, loyal to their faith, and full of respect and sorrow for the deceased sages of the Magic Lotus Sect.
But at this moment, Maki Cangsheng told them the cruel truth. The powerful Magic Lotus Sect actually perished due to internal strife. This made it very difficult for them to accept, and they all glared at Maki Cangsheng angrily.
Elder Yuan's anger flared as he released his aura and pressured Maki Cangsheng. He angrily rebuked, "Maki Cangsheng! You made up lies and insulted the ancestors of the Holy Lotus Sect. What are your intentions? "
Maki Cangsheng smiled calmly. "Elder Yuan, I never thought of insulting the ancestors of the Magic Lotus Sect, nor did I make up lies. I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I can swear on every word I've said. "
"You!"
Elder Yuan was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a cold gaze on him, causing him to feel a chill in his heart, and his anger was instantly mostly extinguished.
That gaze came from Lin Xuan above.
Elder Yuan clearly knew that if he dared to draw his sword, he definitely wouldn't be able to walk out of this hall today.
Gradually, a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and the aura on his body gradually dissipated. He sighed and sat down with a pale face.
Usually in the sect, Elder Yuan was used to flaunting his seniority and looking at everyone as if they were juniors. Even Li Qiushui and Chi Wufeng, the two powerful Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, he didn't think much of them.
But in front of Lin Xuan, he didn't dare to put on airs at all.
Because before this, many senior elders who were more qualified to put on airs had already been buried in the ground by Lin Xuan.
In these ten years that Lin Xuan had been in power, there were naturally some discordant voices in the Holy Lotus Sect.
If these voices were just voicing their opinions and making their presence known, he could still tolerate it.
But if there were people who opposed his wise leadership and questioned his authority, then sorry, he would teach them to be ghosts in a matter of minutes and never show mercy.
Lin Xuan coldly glanced at Elder Yuan, then shifted his gaze and looked at Maki Cangsheng. He smiled and said, "Maki Cangsheng, the secret you spoke of is quite interesting. But you said that the destruction of the Magic Lotus Sect was related to the twelve sects system. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
Maki Cangsheng said seriously, "Sect Leader, it's not far-fetched at all! If it wasn't for the twelve sects system of the Magic Lotus Sect, which created twelve powerful vassals, which made it impossible to get rid of them and even forced the headquarters to do so, how could the external forces have the opportunity to take advantage of it?
In the end, the destruction of the Magic Lotus Sect had already caused a disaster when the twelve sects were created.
Actually, it wasn't only the Magic Lotus Sect that was harmed by this.
More recently, the Nine Temples of the Keelung Sect and the Six Paths of the Demon Abyss were similar, but they all tasted the bitter fruit in the end.
After the twelve sects were created, if the Sect Leader was mediocre and inactive, then it would be useless to the headquarters. But if the sects were to become too powerful, then it would be difficult to control them and they would eventually split apart.
Therefore, I think that the twelve sects system is absolutely not advisable! "
Mu Cangsheng's long speech finally came to an end, and the crowd fell into a long silence. Everyone began to ponder over the matter.
Above, Lin Xuan sat high up. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he also seemed to be deep in thought.
However, he was very gratified in his heart. He didn't waste his efforts to poach Maki Cangsheng. This guy was indeed quite useful.
His gaze slowly swept across the faces of the people below, and he said in a dignified manner, "Everyone, please feel free to voice out your thoughts regarding the establishment of the sects.
The reformation of the Divine Lotus Sect is imperative. Whether or not we want to follow the path of the Magic Lotus Sect, we must discuss and come up with a plan today. "
These words were said in an impartial manner, but it was also a way for everyone to express their views.
In the middle of the hall, Cao Tianding was expressionless. His gaze was indeed flickering, and he was very conflicted.
He was the first Head Teacher that Lin Xuan had conferred the title of Head Teacher, but all these years, he had only been a figurehead. The old members of the Hundred Swords Sect had already been completely absorbed by the Divine Lotus Path. Even his four seniors had joined the Divine Lotus Path, and two of them had even become devout believers.
He had originally planned to let loose and do something big after he became the Sect Leader.
He had never thought of betraying Lin Xuan. He only wanted greater autonomy to fulfill his ambitions and revenge.
However, at this moment, after Maki Cangsheng's long speech, Cao Tianding understood that it would be difficult for his ideas to be realized.
Moreover, he knew that he had to be the first to express his views. Otherwise, he would inevitably leave a grudge in the heart of the person above.
He only hesitated for a few seconds before he made his decision.
He secretly gritted his teeth, stood up, and said loudly, "Sect Leader, I completely agree with Maki Cangsheng's views!
Establishing twelve sects may be beneficial to the Dao Sect in the short term, but in the long term, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. For the long-term stability of the Divine Lotus Sect, I think we should abandon the twelve sects system. We cannot walk the same path as the Magic Lotus Sect! "
"Oh?"
Lin Xuan's gaze was calm, and he did not express his opinion.
With Cao Tianding taking the lead, everyone below began to express their views.
"Sect Leader, I also oppose the establishment of twelve sects!"
"I also oppose it! Maki Cangsheng's words make sense. "
"…"
Dun Fei, Yan Hui, Tie Lie, and many other young backbones expressed their opposition, and also indirectly expressed their loyalty to Lin Xuan.
Although the conservative faction led by Elder Yuan wanted to continue the Magic Lotus Sect's system, they could not find a suitable reason to do so, and they did not dare to anger Lin Xuan.
Even if establishing twelve sects was a good idea, just the fact that it would weaken the authority of the headquarters and make it easy to nurture ingrates was enough to throw this system into the dustbin of history.
Lin Xuan saw that it was about time, so he coughed lightly and said, "Since everyone agrees that establishing twelve sects has more disadvantages than advantages, then let's put this aside for now.
Next, let us discuss the most suitable path for the development of the Saint Lotus Dao. Everyone, feel free to speak your mind. "
… …
For the next three days, the doors of the Conference Hall were tightly shut.
During this period, other than the occasional divine guards who came and went to deliver news, none of the higher-ups of the Divine Lotus Sect took a step out of the hall.
Such a rare event quickly attracted the attention of countless people both inside and outside the Divine Lotus Sect. Even the surrounding three dynasties, many sects of the martial world, and various superpowers were secretly inquiring about the inside story of the Divine Lotus Sect.
Many people even suspected that the gathering of all the higher-ups of the Divine Lotus Sect was hatching some evil plan.
It was not until noon on the fourth day that the main doors of the Conference Hall opened with a rumble. Everyone filed out, and most of their faces were brimming with excitement and longing.
After that, Lin Xuan, in the name of the Divine Lotus Sect's Sect Leader, announced the internal restructuring of the Dao Sect to everyone in the Dao Sect, as well as the transfer of personnel.
