I'm also desperate.
Chapter 877 Council Hall
Is that so?
The last time Fang Yue spoke with Niu Niu, he remembered Niu Niu saying that he had been reborn in Qingcheng, a small village near Jingcheng (the capital).
At that time, Niu Niu was already in a semi-retired state, and since they were so far apart, Fang Yue gradually lost contact with him.
He never expected to hear news about Niu Niu again at this time.
Niu Niu of the Liehuo Sect… Could it be that Niu Niu really became a disciple of the Liehuo Sect?
Fang Yue was about to ask more when a dozen people poured in through the door.
Ni Dongmei immediately stood ready, her expression serious. Naturally, Fang Yue couldn't ask any further questions.
With the arrival of these dozen people and Weiba, the gate of the Jibing Great Hall was tightly closed.
Faint lights lit up from the gate, as if a powerful isolation formation had been set up.
"This is Ye Se Liming?"
The old man sitting in the center seemed to be the current Sect Master of the Jibing Sect.
"It is."
"Not bad, young and talented, outstanding among the younger generation. However, your strength should only be around the Yun realm. How could you have killed Tianjian and also protected Weiba and Junior Sister Ni Dongmei back to the Jibing Sect?"
Fang Yue shrugged. "The death of Jian Wufeng is no small matter. The news should reach here within a few hours. At that time, the Sect Master will know whether what I say is true or false."
As soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, several elders sitting above stood up abruptly.
"Presumptuous!"
"Who allowed you to speak to the Sect Master like that!"
"Boy, don't be arrogant!"
Seeing this, Fang Yue's expression darkened, and he was about to explode when he suddenly felt a cold touch on his hand. It was… Weiba.
Weiba shook her head slightly at Fang Yue, and Fang Yue restrained himself. But the next moment…
Weiba turned around and swept her gaze across the room.
"What Brother Ye said is all true! Anyone who dares to question it is questioning me, the Jibing Saintess, and questioning Supreme Sect Master Qi Ba Jiu! Do you have any doubts about Lord Qi Ba Jiu?"
Everyone present was stunned.
They exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads, gritting their teeth.
If it were just Weiba, the Saintess, these elders could all overwhelm her.
But if Lord Qi Ba Jiu was involved, the nature of the matter would be different.
The Supreme Sect Master has a higher status in the Jibing Sect than the Sect Master!
With a single thought, they could be removed from their positions as elders, and even the Sect Master of the Jibing Sect could be replaced, and no one could object.
Therefore, after Weiba invoked the banner of Qi Ba Jiu, no one spoke up again.
"Cough!"
The Jibing Sect Master coughed awkwardly and said with a chuckle, "Since the Saintess has said so, then it must be so. Now that Tianjian is dead, and the Sixth Elder of the Liehuo Sect and the Clown楼主(Louzhu) of the Juan Niao Tower have been killed by our Jibing Sect, things have become troublesome."
The Second Elder said in a low voice, "Sect Master, I think this is actually an opportunity. The conflict between us and the Liehuo Sect has been escalating. Now that we have even killed their Sixth Elder, we can take the opportunity to start a full-scale war."
"Yes, yes!"
"Screw the Liehuo Sect, are we Jibing Sect afraid of them?"
The elders were unanimous in their attitude towards dealing with the Liehuo Sect.
At this time, Ni Dongmei was introducing the various elders present to Fang Yue.
Although there were more than a dozen people present, all of whom were elders, in reality, only seven or eight of them were original elders. The others had been forcibly promoted after the Mo Village incident.
"Shishu… that is, the Great Elder, died in Mo Village. The already weakened strength of the Jibing Sect has been declining ever since. Those new elders who were forcibly promoted are actually only at the early stage of the Yun realm, or even the high stage of the Ren realm. They barely have the strength of elders, but they cannot alleviate the decline of the Jibing Sect."
When she mentioned the events of Mo Village, Ni Dongmei's expression dimmed.
Even though it had been almost two months, recalling the events of that time still caused her pain.
In the Jibing Sect, Shishu was the best to her. His death had a great impact on her.
Fortunately, she finally brought Weiba back to the Jibing Sect, which could be considered worthy of Shishu's sacrifice.
As for now, the number of elders has skyrocketed, which naturally leads to more complicated sect meetings.
Fortunately, their opinions on the Liehuo Sect are basically the same.
After all, as arch-enemies, they had been mentally prepared for a full-scale war with the Liehuo Sect.
The only problem is… there is a gap between their strength and that of the Liehuo Sect.
After the death of the Great Elder, the high-end Yu realm combat power is no longer balanced with the Liehuo Sect. If a war really breaks out, they will be at a disadvantage.
But they have… Weiba!
Or rather, Lord Qi Ba Jiu.
As long as Lord Qi Ba Jiu is here, the Liehuo Sect is not to be feared!
"I announce that the Jibing Sect, from this moment on, is officially at war with the Liehuo Sect. Tenth Elder, you go down and inform the disciples and others to be fully prepared for battle."
With the Sect Master's speech, the matter was settled.
But the attitude of the Jibing Sect's elders towards the Juan Niao Tower and the Tianjian Sect became rather ambiguous.
"The Juan Niao Tower was jointly established by the four princes. It is unwise for us to be at war with the Juan Niao Tower when we have already officially declared war on the Liehuo Sect."
"That's right, and this matter was caused by Weiba being bewitched by the Fifth Princess. As long as we apologize, I believe the Fourth Prince will understand."
They seemed quite optimistic about this matter.
After all, the princes and princesses are not monolithic. Not to mention anything else, just letting those princes owe them a favor would make many princes willing to make some concessions.
But…
"Sect Master, and elders, the assassination of the Louzhu of the Juan Niao Tower was the Fifth Princess's intention. She will handle the aftermath herself. I believe our Jibing Sect will not receive much impact. Otherwise, she would not be qualified to cooperate with our Jibing Sect."
The speaker was Weiba.
Moreover, what Weiba said made a lot of sense.
Weiba has already taken action, and now it is naturally time for the Fifth Princess to show her attitude.
"In that case, let's wait and see what happens with the Juan Niao Tower."
The Sect Master pondered for a while and said.
Then there is only one thing left.
Everyone's gaze suddenly turned to Fang Yue.
That's right, the only thing left to deal with is the matter of Fang Yue killing Jian Wufeng, the Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect.
"Sect Master, I think the Tianjian Sect's matter actually has little to do with us. Why not let Ye Se Liming return Tianjian to the Tianjian Sect, turning big problems into small ones, and small problems into nothing. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
"That's right, this method is good. I think it's feasible."
"I agree too! Moreover, Ye Se Liming is not a member of our Jibing Sect. In the end, the Tianjian Sect has no reason to blame our Jibing Sect. Since we have already decided to go to war with the Liehuo Sect, it is unwise to antagonize the Tianjian Sect as well."
