Chapter 352: The Pavilion Master's Lineage Admits Defeat

As soon as these words came out, Venerable Lihuo's face was full of fear.

He knew how many bad accounts there were in the treasury and secret vault. Once they were investigated, few of the Pavilion Master's lineage would be clean.

If the investigation could be stopped, it would be acceptable for the Pavilion Master's lineage to pay a huge price.

However, if this huge price was borne entirely by himself, it would be unacceptable.

"Brother Yishan, you are joking. I know nothing about the secret vault and the treasury.

It's probably not appropriate to link the investigation with the position of Pavilion Master, right?"

At this time, the old guys of the Pavilion Master's lineage were silent.

They wanted Venerable Lihuo to take the blame himself and protect the Pavilion Master's lineage.

At this time, Venerable Wanshan had a stern face: "This is indeed inappropriate. Since the Pavilion Master knows nothing about the secret vault, it is dereliction of duty.

What's the point of keeping such a Pavilion Master?

In my opinion, the Pavilion Master should be dismissed, and the account should be investigated."

Zhang Lingxu also echoed: "Brother Wanshan is right. The Pavilion Master is derelict in his duty and should be dismissed.

The matter of the account has nothing to do with the dismissal of the Pavilion Master, and the account must be investigated."

The two of them played the bad cop, showing an attitude of exterminating the Pavilion Master's lineage.

The old guys in the Pavilion Master's lineage were silent.

They were afraid that the other seven lines would use force to take down the Pavilion Master's lineage.

After that, someone had to play the good cop.

A middle-aged monk wearing a white jade crown stepped forward: "Dear brothers, uncles and uncles, please listen to me."

"The Pavilion Master did not know about the secret vault, which is indeed a dereliction of duty.

However, Senior Brother Lihuo has been the Pavilion Master for more than a thousand years and has never made any major mistakes.

It is unfair to dismiss him just because of this small matter.

In my opinion, a small punishment and a big warning will be enough."

"As for the audit, it does damage the internal unity of the Eight Desolate Pavilion. It is better to forget it."

This person is the Jade Talisman Venerable, the leader of the Talisman lineage in the old eight veins.

Hearing this, the old fellow of the Pavilion Master's lineage, the hanging heart fell a little.

Zhao Hong refuted loudly: "Forget it? Why?

The Pavilion Master's lineage dare not let us check the accounts. There must be something fishy about the accounts.

Letting such a group of termites continue to manage the Eight Desolate Pavilion, I am not at ease."

When he shouted, many monks echoed him.

"We can't just let it go like this. The things in the secret vault and the treasure house were obtained by the lives of generations of Bahuang Pavilion disciples.

Someone actually took the treasures in the vault for himself. If he is not severely punished, where is the face of Bahuang Pavilion? Where is the dignity of the sect rules?"

"You are right. The accounts must be checked thoroughly.

Thieves who stole things from the secret vault and the treasure house must be pulled out and severely punished.

Even if the old thief has passed away, his disciples and grandchildren must bear the responsibility."

...

For a time, the crowd was excited and wanted to eat the Pavilion Master alive.

Venerable Yu Fu came out to act as a peacemaker again: "Fellow disciples, calm down.

Even if someone in the Pavilion Master's lineage embezzled, it does not mean that everyone in the Pavilion Master's lineage is a parasite.

At the beginning, the founder of Xunlong took the lead in establishing the Eight Desolate Pavilion, and the Xunlong lineage made great contributions to the Eight Desolate Pavilion.

We can't call for killing them just because of something that has not yet been confirmed."

Venerable Wanshan chuckled: "Now this matter has not been confirmed, but it will be confirmed after checking the accounts.

We have to check the accounts just to give an explanation to all the fellow disciples!"

"Everyone in the Pavilion Master's lineage may have participated in stealing the treasures in the secret vault and the treasury.

If they continue to be in power, the treasures that countless disciples of our Eight Desolate Pavilion have exchanged for with blood and sweat will become their private property.

Since they are not clean, they can no longer be in charge of the secret vault and the treasury."

As soon as this was said, it caused another echo.

"That's right. The Pavilion Master's lineage doesn't allow us to check the accounts. They are definitely not clean.

Who can be assured if we continue to let them manage the secret vault and the treasure house?"

...

Seeing that everyone was no longer staring at the Pavilion Master's position, Venerable Lihuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the secret vault and the treasure house are a big piece of fat meat, in this situation, the Pavilion Master's lineage can no longer get away unscathed.

Giving up the management rights of the secret vault and the treasure house and keeping many masters is already very cost-effective.

He hurriedly said: "We, the Xunlong lineage, are willing to hand over the management rights of the secret vault and the treasure house."

After these words came out, some cultivators standing on the side of the Danwang lineage were somewhat shaken.

Since the Pavilion Master's lineage has chosen to give in, it is already very good.

Continuing to use force may cause internal strife, which is not worth the loss.

Especially those cultivators from small branches, even if Venerable Lihuo steps down, it will not be their turn to be the Pavilion Master.

If the Eight Desolate Pavilion falls apart, the old eight lines have a deep foundation and can maintain their status as a major force by establishing their own sect.

These small branches will directly become small and medium-sized forces.

Once they waver, this matter may be left unresolved.

Liu Yuanchen came up with a plan and bowed to the Ghost Hand Dan King: "Master, after this matter, our Dan King lineage should withdraw from the Eight Desolate Pavilion."

As soon as this was said, everyone present was surprised.

Zhao Hong hurriedly asked: "Yuanchen, what are you talking about?"

Liu Yuanchen pretended to be embarrassed and sighed.

"Master, I have no choice!

The reason why the various lines forced the palace this time was that I was troubled by the Pavilion Master's lineage.

The Pavilion Master's lineage is powerful, and most of the affairs of the Pavilion are under their control.

And our Dan King lineage is weak, how can we compete with the Pavilion Master's lineage?

When this storm is over, the Pavilion Master's lineage will definitely suppress us secretly.

I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, our Alchemy King lineage will be extinct. "

"This disciple has a foundation in Chihuangyuan, and Wuyun Ridge can also be regarded as my territory.

Instead of waiting to be liquidated by the pavilion master's lineage, it is better to withdraw from the Bahuang Pavilion and establish his own business in the Red Wasteland. "

As soon as these words came out, Venerable Lihuo's face instantly turned pale.

This move of retreating into advancement is telling other branches that the pavilion master's branch has the ability to settle accounts with the queen.

My Dan King lineage cannot withstand the revenge of the Pavilion Master's lineage, so you have to decide what to do.

The other monks were also worried that the Dan King lineage could not handle it, and there was still the retreat of the Red Wasteland.

If you can't bear it, you will have no choice but to die.

If you don't want your family's inheritance to be cut off, you have to stay with the Pavilion Master to the end.

Zhang Lingxu also took the opportunity to add another blow: "Senior Brother Wanshan and Uncle Duanhai, this matter was started by the three of us.

The three of us will definitely not be able to escape when we settle accounts after the fall.

My lineage, King Dan, has decided to withdraw from Bahuang Pavilion, so you can do your own thing. "

Venerable Wan Shan naturally saw Liu Yuanchen's intention: "Junior Brother Ghost Hand said that my weapon refining line is willing to advance and retreat together with the Dan King line.

However, my weapon-refining lineage has no retreat, so I asked Junior Brother Guishou to take me under my wing. "

Zhang Lingxu chuckled: "It's easy to say, Yuan Chen is now the Divine Lord of Dongyang, and he is also in charge of Wuyun Ridge, which has the passage to the underworld.

Without the suppression of Xunlong's lineage, our two lines will definitely be more prosperous. "

The two of them sang together, and the others were even more unsure.

Others have a way out, but I don't.

Liu Yuanchen is in charge of Wuyun Ridge, and the Xiantian Formation in Jinyu Mountain is also his property.

With the Alchemy King's line withdrawing, there will be no innate formation available in Bahuang Pavilion.

In addition, the underworld passage controlled by Dongyang Divine Palace can do business in the Yin and Yang realms.

Each branch of Bahuang Pavilion has disciples working there, and they can earn a huge amount of resources every year.

If the Dan King lineage withdraws from Bahuang Pavilion, these benefits will not be available to other branches.

At this time, Venerable Duanhai also came out to add fuel to the fire.

"Even the old Eight Branches are afraid of the Pavilion Master's line being settled by the Qiu Queen. How can we, the small branches, resist?

I don’t want my disciples and grandsons to die unexpectedly, that’s all, let’s quit our lineage. "

As a top expert from a small branch, Lord Duanhai has a very high prestige among all the small branches.

As soon as he spoke, those monks from smaller branches also expressed their willingness to quit.

At this moment, the pavilion masters were dumbfounded, even though they had a last resort to exit Bahuang Pavilion alone.

However, they wanted to take away various resources and escape.

The current situation is that the other branches have withdrawn, and the Pavilion Master is still the Pavilion Master, but has become a polished commander.

If each channel voluntarily withdraws, it naturally has the right to take away some of the treasures.

After everyone breaks the pot, there is no need to take into account the friendship between the same family, and the accounting matter still has to be brought out.

At that time, the Pavilion Master's lineage may have to spend their own money to make up for the missing resources in the secret treasury and treasure house.

Bahuang Pavilion has become an empty shell. What value does this pavilion master have?

Venerable Jade Fu, who had always made a fool of himself, once again came out to persuade: "Brother Wanshan, Junior Brother Guishou, you must not do this.

If anything happens, we can discuss it easily.

The worst case scenario is to let the pavilion master make a promise and not settle the score with each other. "

Venerable Lihuo saw that things were not easy to deal with, so he quickly made a promise.

"I can swear an oath of heaven. If I find another branch to settle the score, I am willing to accept the punishment of heaven."

Venerable Wanshan chuckled: "The Oath of Heaven is only useful in legends. No one knows whether it has ever taken effect."

Liu Yuanchen struck again: "Even if Master Lihuo doesn't count, what about his successor?

If we force the pavilion masters to hand over the management rights of the secret treasury and treasure house, we will cut off their financial resources.

The monks of the pavilion master's lineage would probably like to tear us into pieces.

When the next Pavilion Master comes to power, he will still settle accounts with us. "

At this time, Venerable Wan Shan started to praise him: "Yuan Chen is right. If we don't quit, every generation of pavilion masters in the future may cause trouble for us.

Fellow disciples, please tell me, how should we protect ourselves? "

Venerable Yishan immediately spoke: "It's simple to say, if the Pavilion Master abdicates, the future Pavilion Master cannot be a disciple of the Xunlong lineage."

As soon as this statement came out, all the monks who forced the palace agreed.

As long as the pavilion master's lineage can be brought down, many of the monks who forced the palace will be able to support the new pavilion master.

In this way, not only will he not be settled by his wife, but he will also gain a lot of benefits.

And if the pavilion masters step down, a lot of benefits will inevitably come out, and everyone will have the opportunity to compete for it.

If the monks in the forced palace are willing to do this, the pavilion master's lineage will naturally not be happy.

Venerable Lihuo argued quickly: "I, the founder of the Xunlong lineage, Venerable Xunlong, am the founder of Bahuang Pavilion.

In terms of merit, who can compare with the ancestors of each lineage?

Our Xunlong lineage has made great contributions to the Bahuang Pavilion, why should we be deprived of the qualification to serve as the Pavilion Master? "

Venerable Wanshan snorted coldly: "When the Patriarch of the Eight Meridians founded the Bahuang Pavilion, he established a rule that all senior Eight Meridians are qualified to serve as the pavilion masters.

You have made a lot of achievements, but our ancestors of the Seven Meridians have not had enough to eat, right?

Why have you been the master of the pavilion for 60,000 to 70,000 years, but the other seven branches cannot be the master of the pavilion? "

“There are only two ways to go about this matter, either to check all accounts and severely punish the guilty.

Either the Xunlong lineage will hand over the position of Pavilion Master, and the secret treasury and treasure trove will be forgotten. "

At this time, Venerable Yishan and Venerable Tianpup both agreed, and they had to choose one of the two.

Even Venerable Yufu, who had always been a villain, sighed softly: "Senior Brother Lihuo, there is no other way now."

Venerable Lihuo was really panicking at this time. He didn't want to take either path.

Regarding the future of the Xunlong lineage, it is no longer the pavilion master’s business alone.

At this time, an old man full of rotten air walked into the meeting hall.

Everyone bowed and saluted: "I have met the old Pavilion Master."

This old man is the former Pavilion Master of Bahuang Pavilion - Venerable Jin Yan.

His voice was as loud as a bell: "To remove the Pavilion Master requires the consent of the Five Meridians among the Eight Old Meridians. If you want to prohibit my Xunlong lineage from serving as the Pavilion Master, the Five Meridians cannot do it.

There has never been any precedent for this matter, and all branches of Bahuang Pavilion need to express their stance together. "

Venerable Duanhai said without hesitation: "That's no problem. As long as 60% of the people support it, this matter can be passed."

Venerable Jin Yan shook his head: "At least 80%."

Lord Duanhai spoke again: "At most 70%. If not, we'd better check the accounts."

Upon hearing the audit, Venerable Jin Yan sighed: "Just 70%.

I will send a message to the branch masters over there in the Red Wasteland, asking them to come over as soon as possible. "

The leaders of each branch of the Bahuang Pavilion are either serving in the academy system, or they have studied the innate formation in the Red Wasteland.

It would take at least a year and a half to gather these people together.

By delaying this matter for a year and a half, the Pavilion Master can spare more time to win over the disciples of each branch.

Venerable Duanhai naturally knew what he was thinking: "Actually, there is no need to bother, the pulse masters of the eight old meridians are all here.

Even the branch masters in the small branches with Dao Fei Realm experts are present. "

After that, he casually took out the storage bag from his waist.

“As for the pulse owners of other small branches, before I came, I found them and asked them about their attitude.

Here are their keepsakes and photos. "

He took out a photo bead and a jade pendant: "This is the jade pendant and photo pendant of Master Liuyun."

He injected mana to activate the shadow bead, and a middle-aged figure appeared.

The middle-aged monk said: "The pavilion master's lineage is guarding and stealing, and he is not qualified to command Bahuang Pavilion anymore..."

Venerable Duanhai had a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Jin Yan, do you still need to check them one by one?"

These tokens and photo beads became the last straw that broke the Pavilion Master's lineage.

Venerable Jinyan's face was full of bitterness. Now all the branches of Bahuang Pavilion were standing on the opposite side of him.

At this point, you can only choose one of the two.

At this time, Venerable Yushan looked in disbelief: "Impossible, I contacted Junior Brother Liuyun before, and he said that he would fully support the Pavilion Master..."

Venerable Jin Yan snorted coldly: "No need to say any more, Junior Brother Duanhai, do you and Junior Brother Qingyuan really intend to leave a way for my Xunlong lineage to survive?"

Venerable Duanhai shook his head: "What are you talking about? As long as the Xunlong lineage gives up the position of the Pavilion Master, they will still be members of the Bahuang Pavilion.

We can forget about the secret treasury and treasure house.

It is not easy for the ancestors of the past generations to accumulate such a foundation.

No one wants to see roommates fighting each other. "

Venerable Jin Yan glanced at the pavilion master and shook his head secretly.

Sitting in the position of the pavilion master, he can actually let people draw in all the veins under his nose.

Venerable Jin Yan sighed: "Junior Brother Duanhai is really good. Our Xunlong lineage has admitted defeat. I hope you will keep your promise."
