Chapter 1575 The show begins

However, Pi Yangyang quickly withdrew his gaze with an indifferent expression.

At this moment, he thought of the inexplicable message.

He had a hunch that this person was most likely the Young Master of the Black Temple.

After breakfast, Pi Yangyang, Lei Ting and others came to the square.

Although the sky was clear, the morning sun did not bring any warmth at all.

"Please invite the Thirteen Peak Masters into the hall!"

A voice came from the entrance of the hall, and the leader of Thirteen Peaks entered the hall first.

Immediately afterwards, the leaders, elders, deacons, and protectors of the nine major sects were called into the hall one after another, and finally it was the turn of the two outer sects.

Pi Yangyang naturally followed Lei Ting in.

Anyway, when they were at the foot of the mountain, he and Tie Niu were recognized as disciples of Fenglei Hall.

Lei Ting snorted and said, "This is outrageous! Uncle Fu has already announced to the sect that the new Ninth Master has taken office! According to the rules of the sect meeting, the Ninth Master should take his seat first, and other people can enter to pay homage according to their ranks. It seems that Pei Jinming's wolfish ambitions are not even hidden."

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "I'm not angry, why are you angry? Since he wants to rebel, how could he care about me, the new Ninth Master?"

"Master Jiu, you'd better be careful. Most of the people in the sect have been bewitched or bribed by him. If Pei Jinming really wants to make trouble, you should focus on protecting yourself."

Lei Ting said with some concern.

Pi Yangyang curled his lips and said disdainfully: "If I can only protect myself in front of a rebel, then I have no right to sit in the position of Jiu Ye!"

Lei Ting and Wei Hongyi looked serious, and following the shouting, they entered the hall together with Pi Yangyang.

Only then did Pi Yangyang see the layout of the hall clearly.

The hall is thirty meters deep. On the screen wall directly in front, under a golden word "Xuan", there is a wide chair covered with a pure white fox fur blanket.

In front of both sides of the chair, there are four armchairs, each covered with a blanket. They must be the seats for the eight elders.

On both sides of the hall, there are dozens of high-backed mahogany chairs. The first row on the left is for the seats of the masters of the thirteen peaks, and the first row on the right is for the masters of the nine branch sects and the two outer sects.

Fenglei Hall and Hongyi House are naturally the last two chairs.

The rest were seats for elders, deacons, and guardians, nearly a hundred in total.

As for the disciples from various sects who followed, they could only stand behind the seats and listen.

Seeing this, Lei Ting said in a low voice with some fear: "Master Jiu, I will go find the chief deacon and arrange a seat for you."

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, waved his hand and said, "No need, my seat has been arranged."

Lei Ting was stunned and looked at Pi Yangyang in surprise, but saw that Pi Yangyang's gaze fell directly on the main seat in front of him.

He immediately understood, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he nodded and said, "Yes, that is indeed Jiu Ye's seat."

Pi Yangyang said softly: "Let me see what Pei Jinming wants to do first."

Then he took Tie Niu and stood at the back.

Although Lei Ting was a little restless, he knew that Pi Yangyang did not follow conventions, so he could only force himself to sit down.

At this time, the great elders had not come out yet, and some people in the hall were whispering.

"The chief steward announced to the sect half a year ago that the new Ninth Master has taken office. Has any of you seen the new Ninth Master?"

One person lowered his voice and asked the people around him.

Coincidentally, Pi Yangyang was standing right behind them, and with his extraordinary hearing, he could hear every word clearly.

"I haven't seen him, but the new Master Jiu will definitely come to today's meeting!"

One person shook his head and replied.

"But I heard that... it seems that the elders in the Council do not approve of Master Xin Jiu, and think that Master Xin Jiu may have obtained the Sect Master's token through some improper means."

The other person said hesitantly.

"Be careful with your words! Be careful what you say!"

The man from before quickly raised his finger to silence him.

"This must be a rumor. With the chief steward here, how could such a thing happen?"

The person who spoke first shook his head, indicating that he did not believe the rumor.

"But the chief steward hasn't shown up yet, and neither have the people from Xuanyi Sect and Yaoshen Valley. Are they not coming?"

Someone asked suspiciously.

"Xuanyi Sect and Yaoshen Valley are never willing to participate in such sect conferences. They will only show up when the sect is at war with others. So it's not surprising that they didn't come. As for the chief steward, I'm really not sure..."

Someone's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice and said, "Was there any accident to the chief steward?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Several people were startled and quickly scolded.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the shadow wall and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please be quiet. The elders will be here soon."

As the voices were spoken, five people filed out from the side door and came onto the stage.

Walking in front was a middle-aged man under fifty years old, who looked energetic and dignified.

The four people behind were all elderly men over 60 years old, and the last one walking was Duan Yulin.

Everyone in the audience stood up, faced the stage, clasped their fists and bowed, shouting in unison: "Greetings, Great Elder!"

These five people are the great elders of Jiuxuan Sect. The middle-aged man walking in front is the chief elder Pei Jinming.

Next are the second elder Zheng Kang, the third elder Xie Changsheng, and the fourth elder Yan Yiwen.

Duan Yulin was originally the eighth elder, but now there are only five great elders, so he naturally became the fifth elder.

After the five people came to the stage, Pei Jinming stood in front of the main seat, and the four elders stood two on each side.

Although he hasn't been introduced yet, Pi Yangyang has already confirmed that the person standing in the middle is Pei Jinming.

Because he saw that Master Pei and an old man were also present, and there were special seats set up right in front of the steps.

Mr. Pei and Pei Jinming do look somewhat alike, and you can tell that at first glance.

Pi Yangyang was a little surprised. She didn't expect Pei Jinming to be so young.

After everyone paid their respects, Pei Jinming raised his hands with great momentum and said in a loud voice: "No need to be polite, everyone, please take a seat."

Everyone sat down, and before Pei Jinming could speak, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "Chief Elder, the Ninth Master has passed away for more than three years, and the sect has been without a leader for many years.

“Thanks to the great elder’s hard work and his stewardship of the overall situation, nothing has happened in the sect over the years.

"Now, the Black God Temple is ready to make a move, and it seems that it is likely to resume the war with our Jiuxuan Sect. For the sake of the stability of the sect, I request the chief elder to take the position of the sect master, so that he can better lead the sect disciples to fight against the Black God Temple!"

This person spoke very convincingly, and it was obvious that he had thought about it a long time ago.

As soon as he said this, more than a dozen people stood up and clasped their fists, saying, "Please, Chief Elder, take the seat!"

Pei Jinming stood there, calm and composed, and said solemnly: "I am grateful for your kindness. But the sect has its own rules, and no one can break them.

"It is true that the old Ninth Master has passed away for more than three years, but half a year ago, Chief Steward Fu sent back news that the new Ninth Master had taken office. As the chief elder of the sect, I should do my best to assist the new Ninth Master. How could I have the idea of ​​usurping the throne?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately asked, "Manager Fu's news is not entirely credible! He didn't even come to the meeting today. Who knows if he was forced to make such an announcement because of threats?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience shook.

Almost everyone looked shocked.

Xie Changsheng said solemnly: "Deacon Cai, do you mean that there is something wrong with Old Nine's death? Was Steward Fu blackmailed?"

Deacon Cai said without hesitation: "I have indeed heard about it! How could the Old Ninth Master, who had a semi-immortal body, suddenly pass away? There must be something wrong."

Pi Yangyang, who had remained calm all this time, couldn't help but sneer.

He knew that the show was about to begin.
