Chapter 67 Rise to Power and Gain Fame
The argument ended.
The room fell silent, and an awkward atmosphere inexplicably descended upon it.
After all, no matter what.
Their actions were tantamount to bowing down to a disciple.
Having steps can also be awkward.
Li Tie stood behind Jiu San, his mind a complete mess.
My understanding, which I had just grasped, has been refreshed once again.
Is this person really my cousin?
Thinking back to almost a year ago, my cousin was knocked to the ground by that rascal Zhang San with a single stone, and they had to carry him home...
Can humans really change that much in just one year?
Li Tie even suspected that his cousin might be possessed by some kind of evil spirit.
But then again.
Thinking of the changes in his family and the martial arts bones he was about to possess, Li Tie suppressed the thought again.
Li Tie is a demon, but his cousin can't possibly be a demon!
...
The sun is in the center.
It's noon.
A faint sense of oppression emanated from afar.
Everyone present, except for Li Tie, who was a weakling, sensed something and all looked over.
More than ten miles away, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared, moving with an eerie speed, seemingly shrinking the distance to an inch, covering a hundred feet in a single step, approaching them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Qingshan's pupils contracted.
Apart from the sect leader.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone whose speed, achieved through agility, was comparable to his own after he activated a cheat code.
The key point is that the other party's reaction was so minimal.
This is not a concept at all.
He only realized what was happening when he noticed Jiu San's calm demeanor.
It's Master!
After a few breaths.
The figure approached from three or four miles away.
The elders finally saw through the thin layer of black mist and clearly saw the appearance of the newcomer.
Their expressions changed drastically.
This person was actually Shen Linyuan, the oldest among the elders, who had always kept a low profile.
The opponent is actually that strong?
"This is the artistic conception..."
An older man recognized the newcomer's martial arts prowess and spoke with a mixture of awe and envy.
The essence of martial arts!
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Although the elders present had long since grasped the essence of their respective martial arts, they were all stuck on the meaning of martial arts.
After a century of lying low, Shen Linyuan became active again after the sect leader's incident, even summoning all the elders to a general meeting...
Thinking about the implications of this.
An inexplicable sense of oppression weighed on the hearts of these elders.
The elders who had previously decided to form an alliance to exert pressure exchanged glances and understood each other's thoughts: compromise...
While everyone's thoughts were in turmoil.
Shen Linyuan traversed the remaining several miles and appeared in front of Li Qingshan and Jiu San.
He glanced at the elders standing on various parts of the mountaintop: "Why are you all standing so high up for a meeting?"
Upon hearing this, the elders obediently jumped down from the mountaintop, landing in various open spaces, and all looked at Shen Linyuan.
This scene makes it seem as if they are paying homage to Shen Linyuan together.
Shen Linyuan said politely, "Something came up and I was delayed. I arrived just in time."
"It's alright, it's alright."
"Elder Lin Yuan, you're too kind."
The elders all spoke up, their heads bowed and eyes lowered in humility.
Where is that pretentious demeanor from before?
As for the previous questioning and the death of yet another elder...
It all seemed like an illusion, and no one mentioned it again.
...
Seeing this, Shen Linyuan nodded in satisfaction.
His initial strike was well-deserved.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he slowly said:
"Since the sect leader's accident, the sect has been in turmoil, and everyone is restless, fighting and vying for power, neglecting their duties, which has even caused the barbarians under their command to have designs on the sect."
In the Ether Realm, the barbarian extraordinary beings have also become more active.
The Blood Fiend Sect, which already had a strict hierarchy, had long since returned to stability.
On the Lingxu Sword Sect's side, the Supreme Elder was their Sword Master's master, and was highly respected, so he was not affected.
Go on like this.
"Forget about resource gathering, we in the Iron Legs Sect might not even be able to protect our existing interests!"
It involves one's own interests.
A pale-faced young elder, who had been pre-arranged and pushed forward, said with a forced smile, "Elder Lin Yuan, everything else is fine, but there's one thing we can't be sure of until we figure it out."
Shen Linyuan's expression was gentle: "Please speak freely."
The elder, having unleashed his inner energy to its fullest extent and prepared to flee, whispered, "Do you want to maintain order, or do you want to create a new Iron Leg Sect?"
Shen Linyuan did not hesitate and said in a deep voice:
"What new Iron Leg Gate?"
The sect leader is just sealed away, not dead!
I don't want to hear those words again!
This meeting is being held.
First, it made everyone clear about the benefits, so that they could focus their energy on developing the harsh environment.
Second, inside the door...
He paused, glanced at the assembled elders to make sure only one was missing, and then continued:
"Secondly, the two elders inside the gate left in a hurry."
I proposed that my two disciples be promoted to elders and take over the previous elders' share, so that this part of the benefits would not be targeted by the Blood Fiend Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect.
Gentlemen, what do you think?
The group exchanged glances and bowed in unison, saying, "We have no objections."
In any case, the two elders who were eaten were already dead.
It did not affect their interests.
They wouldn't risk their lives to offend a powerful figure who had been dormant for a century and had comprehended the essence of things for such a trivial matter.
"Well, I see."
Shen Linyuan turned around and looked at Li Qingshan and Jiu San: "Come up here and greet the elders so they can recognize you."
Li Qingshan and Jiu San stepped forward: "Greetings, elders."
The other elders, no longer displaying their previous awkwardness, returned the greeting: "Greetings, Elders!"
...
After the conference.
A message appeared on the identity jade tokens of each elder and disciple:
[Imperial Edict!]
Looking at Li Qingshan, a disciple of our sect, he is exceptionally talented, possesses profound cultivation, acts with integrity, has repeatedly made contributions to the sect, abides by the sect rules, cares for his fellow disciples, and enjoys a high reputation.
After deliberation by all the elders, he was promoted to the position of sect elder, in charge of his duties, to participate in all matters, large and small, within the sect, to assist in the administration of teachings, to discipline the younger generation, and to help the sect prosper.
From the date this edict is issued, you shall immediately assume your duties!
All members of the sect should respectfully obey and follow these instructions, jointly protecting the sect and upholding its traditions.
Following the decree, Li Qingshan's figure floated in the air, his cold and imposing figure standing with a spear in hand, so that every disciple could know who Li Qingshan was and avoid offending the new elder's dignity.
After Li Qingshan, came Jiu San.
In an instant.
The two names became the subject of whispered discussions among the crowd.
Jiu San is alright.
He was in charge of selling various intelligence within the sect. Although he was just an ordinary disciple on the surface, the older disciples all knew about him.
As for Li Qingshan... he was a complete nobody.
Apart from those who witnessed Li Qingshan kill more than 30 fellow disciples with a single shot that day, everyone else was completely dumbfounded.
Over there, at Guixu.
Having just finished two deals and received some commission, Li Ming stood there dumbfounded, staring at the message in his identity jade pendant.
Li Qingshan?
He recalled the ordinary disciple he had received a few months earlier.
He then shook his head.
Dawn was amused by her own thoughts.
Although the two share the same name, they have absolutely no resemblance in appearance, physique, or temperament.
Moreover, if a disciple who has only been a disciple for a few months and has no one to rely on can be directly made an elder.
What does his more than 30 years of arduous cultivation amount to?
"When the sect leader got into trouble, the people below actually had a chance to rise in rank. It's pitiful that I, as the grandson of an elder, am treated like a slave trader, only earning a meager wage every day."
Dawn sighs.
His family has strict rules, so there are many things he can't do, and he can only earn a meager living.
I was just thinking about it.
But then, Li Ming saw his second master suddenly appear in front of him.
He was stunned and said, "Second Master, why did you suddenly appear like a ghost?"
"You brat, stop talking nonsense!"
After flicking him on the forehead, Li Feibai said irritably, "Did you see the imperial edict?"
Li Ming nodded: "I see. I know Jiu San, but who is this Li Qingshan?"
Upon hearing this, Li Feibai sighed: "You brought him here yourself a few months ago. You're asking me? He's the kid who got into the law enforcement team through connections."
dawn:...
It’s over.
The Li family is finished.
The second uncle, who was the pillar of the family, has lost his mind and become senile!
...
The elder's decree of appointment was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Those who had inherited their families in the harsh environment immediately printed out the appearances, names, and brief information of the two new elders and passed them on.
Even the Blood Fiend Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect quickly received the news.
The two sides reacted differently.
This was seen as a sign that the Iron Legs Sect's order had been restored to stability.
Only the names and images of Li Qingshan and Jiu San were remembered by many people who cared.
An unknown person rises to power overnight.
Li Qingshan has now risen to fame and has become so influential that he can get people to give him face by relying on his connections.
...
Regarding changes in status and position.
Li Qingshan didn't have the chance to experience it yet.
Led by Shen Linyuan, he and his cousin Li Tie are heading to the location of the Heavenly Sacrifice Tower to resolve the hidden dangers in his Dao body!
