Supreme Demon God

Chapter 203: Fall Down

Everyone left, and only Mo Xiu was left on Eastern Hedge Peak.

Mo Xiu repaired the serial array and used secret methods to restore the destroyed buildings.

At this time, Yuan Rou and Xing Yuyan's figure appeared.

Xing Yuyan never left Eastern Hedge Peak, she was only sent into the inner space of Profound Void Blade.

The Profound Void Blade contained the power of certain space law, and Yuan Rou was now the spirit of the Profound Void Blade. It was not difficult to create a space inside to temporarily contain Xing Yuyan.

"Finally gone."

Xing Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, "That Zhong Ruhao is really unreasonable. He was going to arrest me forcibly so that I could confess the non-existent charge, so that he could frame you, which is really bad."

Mo Xiu didn't take it seriously and said lightly. "Zhong Ruhao, his position as the acting Sect Master, is probably about to end."

Xing Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Why do you say so?"

Yuan Rou, at this time, took the initiative to say, "Don't look at me like this. My position in the Seraphic Sword Sect is quite high. Although I can't interfere with their fight for the position of Sect Master, it is not difficult to influence."

"You mean... because you said that before?" Xing Yuyan understood it all at once.

That sentence referred to: "It is really the greatest misfortune of the Seraphic Sword Sect to have you as the acting Sect Master!"

Under normal circumstances, even if Yuan Rou said this sentence, it would not have much impact on Zhong Ruhao's reputation.

But Zhong Ruhao offended Yuan Rou, so much so that Yuan Rou took all the swords of those people back into the Sword Valley, and then said something like that, then the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect would blame Zhong Ruhao for everything.

The reason why Zhong Ruhao was able to fight against the forces of Seraphic Sword Sect and Ji Linyuan, and even slightly gained the upper hand, was because of Zhong Ruhao's status as the supreme elder and he really did have a group of strong supporters, and on the other hand, there were some people who were not used to Ji Linyuan. So as long as anyone was against Ji Linyuan, they would support whoever.

But now, Zhong Ruhao had caused everyone in the sect to lose their swords from the Sword Valley, and the swords from the Sword Valley were precious to the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect and even affect them. Were they still sword cultivators if they did not have swords in their hands?

Under this circumstance, many people would definitely be dissatisfied with Zhong Ruhao, and the number of people who supported Zhong Ruhao would be greatly reduced.

Zhong Ruhao was the acting Sect Master as it was today, but he could become the acting Sect Master mainly because he was one of the three supreme elders, and the other two supreme elders also supported him.

However, even if he had the status of the supreme elder, and even if the other two elders supported him, Zhong Ruhao could not say that he could be firmly seated as the acting Sect Master.

Power required checks and balances, at least the ancestor of the Seraphic Sword Sect thought so.

Since the three supreme elders were able to remove Ji Linyuan from the position of Sect Master, then naturally there was a way to evict Zhong Ruhao from the position of acting Sect Master.

As long as more than two-thirds of the elders and deacons of the Seraphic Sword Sect expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhong Ruhao and cast a vote of distrust, then Zhong Ruhao, the acting Sect Master, would fall.

It was not a simple matter to get the full support of the elders or deacons of the sect, but if it was just dissatisfaction, a small matter could cause dissatisfaction. What's more, what Zhong Ruhao had done was not a trivial matter, it was already considered a major matter.

It was foreseeable that Ji Linyuan would soon connect in series and drive Zhong Ruhao from the position of acting Sect Master.

The election of the new Sect Master would certainly continue, but as long as Zhong Ruhao was removed from the position of acting Sect Master, Zhong Ruhao would lose a lot of power.

In short, Ji Linyuan would definitely not let Zhong Ruhao feel better in the future.

"Suddenly defeated Zhong Ruhao's arrogance, so it seems that I may be a genius." Yuan Rou said complacently.

"Sister Yuan Rou is amazing!" Xing Yuyan praised her.

Mo Xiu didn't say anything. Whether Zhong Ruhao was the acting Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect or not did not have much influence on him.

He also didn't let Yuan Rou hit Zhong Ruhao's arrogance, it was just the situation at the time, Yuan Rou should be angry, so he would not blame Yuan Rou either.

...

For several days, various emotions were brewing among the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect.

Before long, this process was finally detonated by someone with an uneasy heart.

The fifth day.

The deacons and elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect gathered in one hall.

After Ji Linyuan's condemnation, many deacons and elders expressed dissatisfaction with Zhong Ruhao. Therefore, before the election of the new Sect Master began, Zhong Ruhao, the acting Sect Master, was expelled.

Of course, it was just that he was no longer the acting Sect Master, and the status of the supreme elder would not change. In the final say, what Zhong Ruhao did only made people dissatisfied, not any serious crime.

"You... you are really unreasonable!" Zhong Ruhao said angrily.

Everyone didn't take it seriously.

After ousting Zhong Ruhao from the position of acting Sect Master, Ji Linyuan, who presided over this meeting, said again, "About the new acting Sect Master..."

Before his words were finished, an elder interrupted, "It is not long before the election of the new Sect Master. I think we should elect the new Sect Master now, so there is no need for the role of acting Sect Master."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this elder was arranged by Ji Linyuan in advance. The purpose was to advance the election of the new Sect Master. After all, the people on Zhong Ruhao's side were already at a low point. As long as the election of the new Sect Master was advanced, Ji Linyuan would be able to determine his victory.

There was no stipulation that the person who had been removed from the position of the Sect Master could not participate in the election of the new Sect Master, and there was no stipulation that the person who had been the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword could not become the Sect Master again.

In other words, as long as the election of the new Sect Master was ahead of schedule, Ji Linyuan might be able to return to the position of Sect Master again.

Zhong Ruhao naturally would not allow this to happen. He quickly said, "How can we advance the date that has been set a long time ago? Besides, it is estimated that many of you at the scene will want to participate in the competition for the new Sect Master. This is really not possible."

Whether to participate in the contest for the new Sect Master would only be known on the day of the election, after all, any elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect was eligible to be elected.

Of course, most people were self-aware, and Zhong Ruhao's words were excuses.

Ji Linyuan could more or less see Zhong Ruhao's thoughts.

He glanced at Zhong Ruhao and said faintly, "No matter what, our Seraphic Sword Sect is also one of the five great sects, how can we have no Sect Master for a day? Or does Uncle Zhong plan to let Uncle Bai or Uncle Shan be the Sect Master?"

According to the rules of the Seraphic Sword Sect, the generation Sect Master was elected among the supreme elders, but the current three supreme elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect were actually in the same group.

Since Zhong Ruhao was ousted from the position of Sect Master, even if Bai Lizhi and Shan Yuanze became the Sect Master, they still had to be ousted before their seats were hot.

Zhong Ruhao could not be more clear about this reason, so he did not say the other two supreme elders to be the Sect Master. He just said, "In any case, the date of the election of the new Sect Master cannot be advanced."

"Then, does Uncle Zhong think who should be allowed to temporarily take over the post of Sect Master before this?" Ji Linyuan looked at Zhong Ruhao with aggressive eyes.

Zhong Ruhao took a deep breath, and compromised, "Nephew Ji is the former Sect Master. Although certain behaviors are detrimental to the overall interests of the Seraphic Sword Sect, he has some experience in managing the Seraphic Sword Sect for many years, so you have to work harder these days. You are responsible for all important matters."

This meant to hand over the position of the acting Sect Master to Ji Linyuan.

Although he was very reluctant, he still had to do this. Even if he gave Ji Linyuan the position of the Sect Master, it would be much better than directly electing the new Sect Master, otherwise he might not even have room to stand up.

Ji Linyuan understood what Zhong Ruhao meant.

He himself didn't intend to push Zhong Ruhao to a dead-end at this time because Zhong Ruhao, who had lost his heart, still had many supporters, and he still could not be underestimated.

Since Zhong Ruhao was willing to hand over the position of acting Sect Master to him, he didn't need to make an inch of it. He couldn't be fat in one breath, and the ultimate result of greed might be that he wouldn't get anything.

As long as he had the status of acting Sect Master, he could continuously expand his achievements in a short period of time. When the election of the new Sect Master began, Zhong Ruhao must be even more helpless.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said, "Since Uncle Zhong entrusts the important task to this nephew, then your Nephew Ji Linyuan will live up to it!"

As the deacon of the Seraphic Sword Sect, Mo Xiu naturally participated in the whole process of this meeting, but he just watched from start to finish.

He was just a witness, witnessing Zhong Ruhao being driven down, witnessing the process of Ji Linyuan's return to power.

As for how Zhong Ruhao thought, would he blame all the resentment on Mo Xiu? Mo Xiu didn't care at all, he had never been afraid of Zhong Ruhao.

Compared to Zhong Ruhao, Mo Xiu paid more attention to one person Shi Qingxuan.

It was Shi Qingxuan who went to the Yan Kingdom in the first place, and now it had been several months. Perhaps he didn't know when the methods he left behind in the Yan Kingdom would be cracked, but Shi Qingxuan had been staying in the Seraphic Sword Sect recently and never going out.

What was going on with this? Was it possible that Shi Qingxuan no longer intended to deal with Yan Kingdom?

No one in the Seraphic Sword Sect had mentioned the Yan Kingdom before, so they planned to give up?

Shi Qingxuan didn't know the true identity of Mo Xiu. He and Mo Xiu didn't have much intersection within the Seraphic Sword Sect, and they never had any direct contact, so he didn't know or notice that Mo Xiu was stalking him.

On the contrary, Zhong Ruhao, because he regarded Mo Xiu as the one to kill, would pay more attention to Mo Xiu.

Discovering that Mo Xiu was paying attention to Shi Qingxuan made him very puzzled, and he didn't understand what Mo Xiu was thinking about Shi Qingxuan.

He felt that there was something wrong with this. He decided to find some time to understand it, and it might be a turning point for him to turn around.
