1013. Chapter 1013 Ten Elders
All kinds of rumors about You Hongyan were just appetizers, and soon, the big news that the position of suzerain might change hands came out from inside Bishuixuan!
At the beginning, many people were still skeptical, but as time went by, more and more people found that many bigwigs in the sect looked hurried, as if they had important concerns.
"I heard that in a few days, at the Elders' Meeting, not only will the candidates for the Qianlong Meeting be announced, but also an important news will be announced."
"Could it be related to the recent rumor? But the suzerain is still young, how could he change?"
"Hush! Don't you know that there have been rumors that the suzerain is no longer able to lead the entire sect, and it has not appeared for a long time now. If the elders do not appear this time, the ten elders will impeach and elect someone else according to the patriarchal law!"
In the past few days, Li Ye heard such rumors from time to time, and even intensified the trend.
He knew that this was someone from the law enforcement elders' faction, and they were building momentum! The purpose is to pave the way for a successful summit in a few days.
Although many people were resistant to the suzerain's replacement, Shui Linglong did not show up for a long time, and even did not come forward to clarify such a big commotion, which made more and more people start to doubt.
Only Li Ye and Liang Jingyu are insiders who know the inside story.
"It won't work like this. Seven days later, at the elders' meeting, if the master cannot appear, according to the sect's rules, the ten elders have the right to impeach the suzerain. As long as six of them agree, the decision can be made!"
In You Hongyan's cave, Liang Jingyu came here every three days in recent days, although it aroused suspicion, no one went deep. After all, it is normal for the only two women among the core disciples to walk closer.
At this moment, she looked worried. Once Shui Linglong fell, it would definitely affect her future in the sect. If you don't mention this, even Shui Linglong's kindness, she can't just sit idly by.
"It's really impossible to get close to Bibo Cave Mansion?"
"It's absolutely impossible. In the sect, only the top ten elders are eligible to enter. The rest, even true disciples, are forbidden! Of course, the first disciple is an exception, but Senior Sister Qiu has been traveling since a year ago. I haven't returned, otherwise, if Senior Sister Qiu is here, maybe things won't develop into what they are today."
Qiuyi people!
Li Ye's mind flashed the woman's cold and ruthless look at the beginning, and he shook his head slightly. It is unknown whether this kind of person will really take the risk of offending the law enforcement elders and continue to stand on Shui Linglong's side at this time.
He even suspected that the people from Qiuyi hadn't returned, maybe they knew the situation and deliberately avoided going out and not coming back.
If this is the case, Li Ye really needs to re-understand Li Ye's indifference to this woman.
Shui Linglong is her mentor, and now she is facing a catastrophe, but this girl has not returned for a long time. He never believed that the Qiuyi people would not get the news! And the reason that hasn't appeared yet, after much deliberation, is just one, this girl doesn't care about her master's life or death at all!
"Among the top ten elders, how many of them can still stand by your master's side?"
The ten elders are not ordinary elders, any one of them has weight as light as possible.
Different from the general elders, the top ten elders are usually the most senior and highest-cultivated people in the sect. They rarely show up, and once they show up, something big will happen.
"The law enforcement elder is one of the top ten elders. In addition, he has good friends with the martial arts pavilion elder, the herbal hall elder, and the punishment elder. These people can be regarded as the supporters of the law enforcement elder."
The ten elders of Bishuixuan all have important positions.
One law enforcement elder is in charge of the sect's internal criminal law! Great power!
The disciplinary elder is responsible for punishing and rewarding the disciples, and is the most dignified among the disciples.
There is also the Martial Arts Pavilion, which is the department in charge of various martial arts classics of the sect, and its power is beyond doubt.
This herbal hall is the real elder who is in charge of distributing the elixir of the entire sect, which shows the importance of the elders of this herbal hall.
Li Ye frowned and said, "In other words, among the ten elders, the law enforcement elders already have four votes?"
"Yes, if we get the support of the two elders again, this time..."
It is indeed a serious situation!
Li Ye later learned that besides these four elders, the other six elders were the Great Elder, Second Elder, Elder Dantang, Elder Chuangong, Elder Dark Hall and Elder Outer Hall.
The seniority of the First Elder and the Second Elder is even a generation higher than that of the Law Enforcement Elder! Almost in a state of semi-seclusion.
"The First Elder and the Second Elder should stand on the side of Master. After all, they were the two who fully supported the old suzerain's passing on the throne."
Of the ten elders, the only ones who are sure are the two? !
Li Ye had no choice but to shake his head. For the sake of being the suzerain, even if someone didn't take advantage of his injuries this time, sooner or later there would be an explosion.
"That is to say, as long as the law enforcement elders are among the remaining four and win over two more, then everything will be a foregone conclusion?"
Frowning, in this situation, unless Shui Linglong came forward directly, she might be able to deter a group of people, but this was obviously unrealistic. So in order to avoid this result, there is only one thing Li Ye and Liang Jingyu need to do! That is to draw all the remaining four people over! Stand by Shui Linglong! Perhaps we can temporarily overcome this crisis.
But after further understanding, Li Ye found that this was almost impossible.
Of the remaining four elders, the elders of the dark hall were seldom contacted. They were mysterious and unpredictable, and even few of the core disciples had seen them.
The elder Chuan Gong was controlled by the Fan family. Li Ye felt a headache when he thought of the relationship between himself and Fan Wei and Fan Tong.
As for the elders of the Dan hall and the elders of the outer hall, among them, the elder of the outer hall is an ancestor of the Luo family. This is the only one that Li Ye can persuade with some degree of certainty, but he is not 100% sure.
The elder of Dantang made Li Ye's heart move!
Dantang, Dantang, as the name suggests, this is a place dedicated to alchemy, and the elder of Dantang must be an alchemist! You can guess it with your ass.
Sure enough, after asking, he found out that Bishuixuan, as a sixth-rank sect, also has his own alchemy king! And the Elder of Pill Hall is exactly Bishuixuan, the only Pill King, who is in charge!
After hearing the news, Li Ye had a thought in his heart.
But for the time being, he is going to take care of the Luo family first!
While Li Ye and Liang Jingyu were running around, the law enforcement elders were not idle, and contacted almost everyone except the First Elder and Second Elder, their ambitions were clearly revealed.
For a moment, inside Bishuixuan, an undercurrent surged, waiting for the coming storm in the near future.
