Chapter 280 Ranking Event(1/3)
As for the ranking event, the Emei Sect has not participated in it for many years and only has one guaranteed spot.
But in this ranking event, the Qingcheng Sect does not want Emei to continue to have this guaranteed quota. For this reason, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect has already taken care of Shushan. If nothing goes wrong, the Emei Sect will be in this ranking event.
, lose the qualification to enter Shuxu.
"I knew that Zuixiangong wasn't that delicious, and the fried eggs weren't that delicious either!"
After listening to Gu Zheng's story, Elder Feng gave Wuchou a hard look: "Since I have promised you, I will naturally help you at the ranking event the day after tomorrow."
In any case, the matter was settled. After Gu Zheng and others thanked Elder Feng again, they returned to their residence soon.
In the blink of an eye, the ranking event of Shushan branch is about to begin.
In the main hall of the Shushan Sect, all branches of the sects were present, and Qin Haotian, the leader of the Shushan Sect, also began to speak before the game.
Unkind eyes kept drifting towards Gu Zheng, including those from the Qingcheng sect and those from the Situ family.
Qin Haotian's speech did not last long. After all, it was a conversation surrounding the branch sect and the Shu Ruins.
As usual, after Qin Haotian finished his speech, it was time for the challenge to begin, and everyone in the hall would also move to the martial arts arena.
"Fellow Taoists, wait a minute, Pang has something to say!" Pang Xin, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, spoke before everyone left.
"What does Master Pang want to say?"
Everyone who was about to leave stopped, and Qin Haotian, the leader of Shushan, asked.
"As we all know, the Emei Sect has not participated in the ranking competition for many years, and just occupies the last position with peace of mind. If it only occupies the last position, it is nothing, but doesn't the last one still have a place to enter the Sichuan Ruins?
?There is no need to say more about how important a Shu Xu quota is, Pang said. Since Emei is an Adou who cannot be supported, why should he be allowed to occupy this quota and waste precious resources? "
Pang Xin's voice paused, and then he spoke righteously: "Pang hereby proposes to take back the guaranteed quota of Emei, put it in the challenge, set new rules, and let the remaining four sects participate in the competition for this quota.
, what do you think?"
As Pang Xin finished speaking, the voices of discussion around him started.
"What Master Pang said makes sense, Emei cannot be allowed to occupy this spot in vain."
"Yes, I also agree with what Master Pang said."
"You can't say that. We all come from the same family. Just because a sect has declined, we can't let it decline further. If Emei loses this place in the Shu Ruins, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to them."
"I don't agree with your statement. Natural selection and survival of the fittest. Since Emei is already a Liu Adou, he should give up this spot!"
Everyone in the hall was talking a lot. Except for Elder Xiaofeng from Ziyun Palace, people from other sects either remained silent or shouted in agreement with Pang Xin's statement.
Under Gu Zheng's instructions, the Emei side did not say a word. They just looked at the faces of those who asked Emei to give up their places, and carefully remembered their appearance.
"Don't argue, everyone. The rules of the ranking event were set by the ancestors of Shu Mountain. Although Emei has been a bit unsatisfactory in recent years, I don't think it is necessary to deprive them of the quota to enter Shu Ruins. If this is done, Emei will undoubtedly step by step
It didn’t go down.”
Qin Haotian's attitude towards Emei over the years has not been good or bad. Just like the words he said at this time, even though there is some intention to defend Emei in it, his attitude is not firm.
"The rules were set by our ancestors, but they are not static, especially in the end of the Dharma era when cultivation resources are scarce. Senior brother, I think Leader Pang's proposal should be considered!"
The person speaking was a woman, and Qin Haotian's facial features were somewhat similar to hers. She was Qin Haotian's aunt and an elder of the Shushan sect, and her name was Qin Wanxia. The Qingcheng sect's management of Shushan refers to Qin Haotian.
Several elders led by Wanxia.
Regarding what Qin Wanxia said, Qin Haotian nodded.
"Aside from Qingcheng, Lingjian Sect, Ziyun Palace and Situ Family, what do you think about this matter?" Qin Haotian asked.
"We, the Lingjian Sect, follow the lead of Mount Shu, and everything depends on the arrangements of the head of Qin." Cai Jin, the leader of the Lingjian Sect, said.
"We in Ziyun Palace also follow the leadership of Shushan, and everything depends only on the arrangements of the head of Qin." Chu Li, the master of Ziyun Palace, said.
"Our Situ family agrees with Master Pang's proposal!"
Situ Zhengliang, the head of the Situ family, also spoke, and while he was speaking, his eyes glanced at Gu Zheng with a hint of pleasure.
"Ah."
Gu Zheng laughed in his heart. What Situ Zhengliang conveyed with his eyes was undoubtedly saying that he was blind and dared to offend the Situ family yesterday. But Gu Zheng understood that even if he did not offend the Situ family yesterday, if something like this happened today, they would definitely
They will add insult to injury, after all, that's who they are.
Although Elder Xiaofeng of Ziyun Palace is good, she is not the one who makes the decision in Ziyun Palace, so Gu Zheng is not surprised by Ziyun Palace's relatively diplomatic attitude.
As for the Lingjian Sect, their attitude was a bit unexpected. When the two elders Wuyou and Wuyou did their analysis before, they classified the Lingjian Sect into the category of people who would directly agree with Pang Xin.
Now they support Shushan's decision, not the Qingcheng faction. In this way, if Shushan opposes it, they will also oppose it.
"Among the four branches, only the Qingcheng and Situ families advocate changing the rules, so be it! Forget it this year, if Emei is still like it is now at the next ranking event, even the three fifth-level competitors
If he can't get it together, then he will lose the qualification for the guaranteed spot, what do you think?"
The solution mentioned by Qin Haotian sounds very compromise at first glance. Emei will continue to enjoy the guarantee this time, but it will be taken back next time!
From a superficial point of view, in Emei, except for Elder Wuyou, who is in the late fifth-level, Elder Wuyou, who is ranked second in cultivation, is still in the middle of fifth-level. As for the Emei disciples who are ranked third,
If you haven't even reached the early stage of the fifth level, how can you reach the late stage of the fifth level by leaps and bounds at the ranking event ten years later?
It's a pity that the people targeting Emei obviously want to do something extreme, and they want Emei to lose the qualification to enter the Sichuan Ruins this time!
"The method mentioned by the leader Renyi is for the sake of Emei, but Emei has been weak for so many years, and a chance to enter the Sichuan Ruins will not make any big changes happen to them. In this case, let's just start from this time
,From the overall situation, I think the Emei faction can definitely understand this proposal!"
"Yes, I agree with Elder Wanxia's suggestion."
"I also agree with Elder Wanxia's suggestion, and I believe Emei can understand it!"
The other two Shushan elders who had been targeted by the Qingcheng faction also spoke at this time.
"Emei Sect, I hope you can stand on the overall situation and don't make it too difficult for the head of Qin. Even if you want to come to the Shu Ruins, it will really be of little use."
Pang Xin spoke again, and what he said was very irritating. The reason why he targeted Emei at all costs this time was actually related to Gu Zheng's last trip to the Tianshan Mountains.
Qingcheng elder Liu Qingyun died at the hands of Gu Zheng, and the entire Qingcheng sect already knew it. Although the other survivors who fought against the evil cultivators of Tai Chi did not say anything bad about Gu Zheng, the traitor Liu Qingyun did deserve to die.
But this does not prevent Pang Xin from venting his anger on Gu Zheng. How dare a little Emei to be so arrogant. Pang Xin wants to let Emei know what the consequences will be if he offends his Qingcheng sect!
"Whether it's the suggestions from the elders of Shu Mountain or Head Pang, our Situ family strongly agrees. I also hope that the Emei Sect can understand the general situation and not make it difficult for Head Qin. A quota in Shu Ruins does not count for you in Emei.
What, but if it were placed in our other branches, I dare say that in ten years, we will have two more late fifth-level disciples!"
Situ Zhengliang said very excitedly. Although the Qingcheng faction did not take care of them in advance, he must support the Qingcheng faction unconditionally.
If Emei is deprived of the guaranteed quota to enter Shu Ruins this time, then Situ Zhengliang can regain the quota that Situ Cong lost to Emei. After all, if Emei does not have the guaranteed quota of Shu Ruins, the previous bet will naturally be lost.
Forget it, Gu Zheng bets on something he doesn’t have, which is an unfair bet in itself!
As for adding two late fifth-level disciples in ten years, this is purely a talk. As long as Emei's guaranteed quota is cancelled, it will be even more difficult to have them. Who will care then? Situ Zhengliang
What exactly was said in the first place?
"Emei Sect, what do you mean?"
Qin Haotian still showed no emotion or anger, but his eyes finally fell on Gu Zheng.
For a time, Guzheng became the focus of the entire hall, and the environment was unprecedentedly quiet. The atmosphere was so depressing that it made people want to breathe heavily.
Without the early tip-off from the Yufeng Taoist, and without the subsequent preparations by Gu Zheng and others, the Emei Sect would really be in great danger today. Under the pressure of the overall situation, the possibility of a comeback by the Emei Sect alone is almost zero!
"hehe."
Gu Zheng took a step forward, shook his head and smiled strangely, making it hard to tell whether it was a sarcasm or a bitter smile.
"You all said that Emei can understand it, but no, Emei can't understand it!"
"There are five branches in Shu Mountain, and the Situ family is the latest one to appear. Before they appeared, the fifteen places in Shu Xu were always competed by the four major branches."
"If you think according to your current thinking, the Situ family was still very weak at that time and was not qualified to participate in the competition for places in Shuxu. In this case, why did the ancestor of Shushan still agree to the participation of the Situ family? This is because he has a big
The spirit of love, because what he hopes to see is that every sect can continue well!"
The ancient dispute was full of emotions, and Elder Feng finally spoke.
"I don't agree to change the rules of my ancestors!"
"As the head of Emei said, the reason why our ancestors set such rules is to allow each sect to continue well. This is true love!"
"Emei is lonely now, but I think this is a normal ups and downs, but don't forget that Emei once occupied the top spot for many years, and at that time, Qingcheng and the Situ family, if I remember correctly
, it’s always been the last two, right?”
When Elder Feng knew what Emei was asking for, he once said, "The drunken wine is not that delicious, and the fried eggs are not that delicious. There is a reason why he said this."
If it were just other branch sects or ordinary elders who had trouble with Emei, Elder Feng would not find it troublesome, but Qin Wanxia is the main person in charge of the Qingcheng sect, which makes Elder Feng a little embarrassed. It is not because of Qin Wanxia
She is the aunt of the leader, but Elder Feng was one of Qin Wanxia's suitors when he was young. If he had not already agreed to the Emei Sect, Elder Feng would not have said anything if something like this happened.
"Feng Hansheng, what do you mean?"
Qin Wanxia glared angrily. Although Elder Feng was a little scared, he still straightened his neck.
"It's not interesting, I just think it's too much for you to treat Emei like this, so I don't agree with your point of view!"
In just a short paragraph, Elder Feng went from not daring to look up at first to looking directly into Qin Wanxia's eyes. After all, he is a man with a temper and an elder whose status in the Emei Sect is more noble than Qin Wanxia's!
"I hope you won't say anything more about Emei being Liu Adou. Whether Emei is Liu Adou or not, we might as well just wait and see in the next ten years as the leader said before. If Emei is Liu Adou by then,
