Chapter 1768: Want Independence or Rebellion?

In the world of wolves, the position of the alpha wolf is earned through bloody fighting with teeth and claws, and by climbing up by stepping on the fallen bodies or even corpses of other companions!

Only the strongest and most ferocious wolf is qualified to be the leader and make the pack of wolves submit!
The transfer of power is full of blood. It seems cruel, but it is fair!
For millions of years, this rule has been passed down in the blood of wolves, and no force can change it!
Therefore, no matter how great the difficulties the wolves encounter, they will swim upstream, because no matter how strong the wind and snow are, the leader of the pack will always be the one rushing to the front!

Compared to wolves, the transfer of power among humans is much more complicated.

If you want to become a true leader, you must not only have the ferocity of a wolf, but also the cunning of a fox, the vision of an eagle, the patience of a snake, and the physique of a tiger!

We must be able to endure loneliness like wolves, and we must also understand the power of unity better than wolves! In addition to violent suppression, we must also be gentle and win over!
Not only must we ruthlessly eliminate the conservative forces that stand in our way, but we must also be vigilant and suppress the emerging forces that covet our position!
Once the conservative forces revive or the emerging forces launch a challenge, it may cause themselves to fall into an abyss of no return!
Ye Bufan was a little dazed, he didn't know why he suddenly thought of the wolf!
Perhaps, it was the fiery gazes of the people in front of him that reminded him of wolves!
That's right! These people, like me, have always coveted the position of the head!
More wolves but less meat!
Why did Master pass the throne to Lü Zuting? Why not to me? Humph! There are many reasons, such as popular choice, chosen by heaven, and the master of destiny. All of them are nonsense to fool people!
In terms of swordsmanship, is he, Mr. Lu, as good as me, Ye Bufan?
In terms of internal strength, can he compare with Gu Yuting?

The head uncle directly designated someone with the surname Lu to be the next head, and the reason he gave was actually that it was for the smooth transition of the entire sect organization!
This is so unfair!

This is far worse than the Demon Cult!
I heard that the Demon Cult selects its successor through horse racing, not horse judging!
Everyone has the opportunity to become the leader of a cult!

The strong are respected!
It is said that the Demon Lord has four adopted sons, and he has never clearly designated who will take over. He told each of his adopted sons that they have the opportunity to become the new leader, but whether they can succeed depends on themselves!
These four adopted sons really did everything to get the approval of the Demon Lord! They were resolute and decisive in carrying out their missions! They could lower their posture when winning people's hearts, and were ruthless when hunting down enemies! They were soft when they should be soft, and hard when they should be hard! The performances of the four people were all wonderful, and the competitive pressure between them turned into motivation, for fear that they would be eliminated!

"Junior Brother Ye, what are you thinking about? Why haven't you said anything for such a long time?"

Ye Bufan's thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality. He was already full of resentment, and he couldn't help but said directly: "The way we choose the leader of Shushan is too backward, even worse than the Demon Sect!"

The air solidified instantly!

Falling into deathly silence!

Sect Leader Lu's face changed slightly, and he said softly: "Brother Bufan, what do you mean by this? My Shushan Sect is a prestigious and upright sect. Although we have not had any conflict with the Demon Sect, we are fundamentally irreconcilable with the Demon Sect! But you said that we are worse than the evil ones. I need a reasonable explanation!" His tone was calm at first, but the more he spoke, the heavier his tone became, and in the end, he was already showing his sharp edge!
Everyone thought: How could Ye Bufan make such a low-level mistake? He actually praised the Demon Sect and belittled Shushan. Isn't this actively handing the butcher knife to Master Lu?
Ye Bufan thought to himself: Since this is the case, I might as well just let it go!
He cleared his throat and said, "What I said is true. The leader of our Shushan Sect has always been chosen internally. This is definitely unfair!"

Lu Zuting's expression did not change much, and he still said calmly: "Unfair? It seems that you have been holding this sentence in for a long time? And you, if anyone has any ideas, please speak up together!"

Ye Bufan snorted coldly, "I'll speak first!" He swept his eyes around, "Although we are irreconcilable with the Demon Cult, it does not mean that we cannot learn from their strengths. This is called learning from the barbarians to defeat them!"

Gu Yuting said: "Not bad!"

Dai Tao, the head of Jingtan Peak, sneered, "Birds of a feather!"

Gu Yuting instantly became furious, and the long sword on his back began to hum and vibrate, as if it was about to burst out!
The long sword behind Dai Tao came out of its sheath half an inch with a clang, and he glared at him, "Hmph!" They were tit-for-tat and on the verge of a fight!
Sect Leader Lu said, "Okay! What you said makes sense! Then what are the strengths of the Demon Sect?"

Ye Bufan said: "The strength of the Demon Cult is fairness!"

Sect Leader Lu hummed, "Continue!"

Feifeng Peak Master Chisongdao frowned and said, "Did I hear correctly? Demon Cult, fair?"

Ye Bufan was too lazy to pay attention to him, "The Demon Cult never does anything behind the scenes when selecting its successor. They don't judge horses by horse-racing, they race horses!"

Sect Leader Lu smiled and said, "Well, go on. You can give me an example."

Seeing that Lv Zuting looked calm and confident of victory, Ye Buxin could not help but feel a little suspicious, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. "Everyone should know that the leader of the Demon Cult has four adopted sons. All four of them have the opportunity to inherit the position of the leader! The Demon Lord did not deliberately praise one or step on the other. The support for each of his adopted sons is the same! As for who performs well in the future, he will stand out and inherit the position of the leader!"

Gu Yuting said sarcastically, "We need to find out who is the donkey and who is the horse! Look at the Demon Cult. There are at least four candidates for the position of the leader. Through fair competition, the fittest will survive. Who wouldn't accept that?"

Du Kefeng, the leader of Shengsheng Peak, was also on the side of Master Lu. He immediately jumped out to retort, "What you said is totally contradictory!"

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, "Brother Ke Feng, where am I contradicting myself?"

Du Kefeng said: "You keep talking about fairness, but where is the fairness?"

Ye Bufan said: "The four adopted sons are competing fairly for the position of the leader. Everything is under the surveillance of the Demon Cult. I dare not say it is absolutely fair, but at least it is relatively fair and open. It can be said to be very fair! Whether it is people or things, they are all there. Whoever grabs it will get it. Whoever has the ability will win over more people and solve more problems. The opportunities are equal for everyone. Where is the contradiction?"

Du Kefeng sneered, "There are more than 10,000 disciples in the Demon Sect, why only choose the successor from the four adopted sons? The four of them feel it is fair, but what about the others? What about the 10,000, 20,000 or even 30,000 people? Do they think it is fair? They all fight for the organization and shed blood and sweat for the organization, why can they only be spectators and not participate in the competition?"

Ye Bufan refuted: "They are not capable enough, how can they be compared with the four adopted sons?"

Du Changfeng sneered, "How can you know that they can't do it without letting them participate in the competition? Isn't this just subjective assumption?"

Ye Bufan said: "How can you call it subjective assumption? The Demon Lord is not blind, doesn't he know who is strong and who is weak?"

Du Kefeng sneered, "You are right on both sides! I said that the selection range of the Demon Cult leader is too narrow and unfair to the majority of the gang members, but you told me that the majority of the disciples besides the four adopted sons are not capable enough, so they don't even have the opportunity to participate! Didn't the head uncle consider this when he passed the throne to Brother Zuting? Apart from Brother Zuting, who else in the entire Shushan is capable of taking on the important task? After searching everywhere, I couldn't find him, so Brother Zuting had to be the head! As you said, the head uncle is not blind, he doesn't know who is strong and who is weak?"

"You!" Ye Bufan was immediately furious!

The other party used his own method to retaliate against me, and I was left speechless!

Taoist Chisong laughed and said, "The Demon Sect is full of experts. Which of the four generals of the Demon Sect has not worked hard and made great contributions? Although the Eighteen Arhats are not well-known in the martial arts world, which one is weak? Why can't they be the leader? This is called fairness? It seems that the four adopted sons are competing on the same stage, which is fair, but no matter who wins, isn't it the adopted son who wins? How different is this from an internal appointment? People in the Demon Sect don't think so, but I didn't expect you to take it as a criterion and even summarize it as fairness. It's so stupid!"

Ye Bufan was about to explode, but Gu Yuting held his arm. He then heard Gu Yuting say, "Okay, even if what Junior Brother Bufan said is untenable, but the handling of Wang Sheng's case was unfair, there is no hidden truth in this matter, right?"

Taoist Chisong said, "Wang Sheng violated the sect rules and was expelled from the sect according to the sect rules. How can this be considered unfair?"

Gu Yuting asked, "Should he take back his natal flying sword?"

Taoist Chisong said, "Yes! The master has already issued a recall order!"

"Then why haven't you taken it back yet?"

"Who are you asking?"

"Of course I should ask the Sect Leader!" Gu Yuting stared at Sect Leader Lu without blinking!

Sect Leader Lu smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, let's talk it over." He looked at Taoist Yunshan, the head of the Punishment Hall, and said, "Yunshan, you are from the Chaoyun Peak lineage. Junior Brother Yuting will not doubt your words, right?"

Gu Yuting looked at Yunshan, the head of the Punishment Hall, expressionlessly.

Yunshan said calmly and without hesitation: "The order issued by the headmaster at that time included the order to retrieve Wang Sheng's natal flying sword with all our strength!"

Taoist Chisong raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Did you all hear that? It's not that the Sect Master condoned Wang Sheng, but the order to retrieve the natal flying sword was indeed issued at that time!"

Gu Yuting's face darkened, and he looked at Yunshan with some confusion, "Then why don't you take it back?"

Yunshan looked at Gu Yuting sideways.

Although he was born in Chaoyun Peak, he was quite dissatisfied with the peak master Gu Yuting.

Yunshan is the head of the Shushan Sect's Punishment Hall, in charge of the entire Shushan Sect's punishments, and his status is above the Twelve Peaks. The first hard rule for those who can enter the main hall is to be impartial. In other words, everyone must be fair!
Gu Yuting, the leader of Chaoyun Peak, spends the whole day calculating how to take advantage of his own territory. It is human nature to strive for more benefits for the disciples of Chaoyun Peak, but Gu Yuting sometimes does whatever it takes to harm others and benefit himself, either cheating other branches or cheating the main hall. According to Yunshan, he is "unprincipled, bottom-line-less, and rule-less"! What disgusts Yunshan the most is that every time he catches Chaoyun Peak's fault, Gu Yuting always throws the responsibility to his disciples! His disciples are really nice, whether it is a cane or a whip, there are always people who take the initiative to take the responsibility! In any case, Chaoyun Peak is at least managed by Gu Yuting like an iron bucket that is impenetrable and very united.

Gu Yuting was a little impatient, "Why are you looking at me sideways? Tell me, why don't you take back Wang Sheng's flying sword!"

Yunshan said unhappily, "I want to receive it, but he has to give it to me!"

Gu Yuting suddenly became a little irritable, "How dare he not give it to me when he rebelled against me?"

Yunshan was like seeing a clown, "He has rebelled a long time ago! Why should he return the flying sword?"

Gu Yuting was startled, looking at Yunshan in disbelief, "You are the head of the Punishment Hall, it is your duty to hold the traitor accountable, how can you say such a thing?"

Yunshan sneered, "I once mobilized disciples from the five peaks of Wangxia, Chaoyun, Jixian, Cuiping, and Songluan to hunt down Wang Sheng. Don't you know that?"

Gu Yuting frowned immediately, it seemed that this incident really happened!
"I know, what's wrong?"

"You know? You still ask me in this tone even though you know it?"

Ye Bufan was a little displeased. "The two of you should stop wasting time arguing. Let's get straight to the point, okay? The enemy is coming soon!"

Yunshan snorted, his face gloomy, "How did you five peaks carry out the mission after receiving it?"

Gu Yuting frowned and said, "You've been waiting here for so long!"

Yunshan said: "Don't talk nonsense! I just want to ask whether your people have gone to arrest Wang Sheng!"

Gu Yuting clenched his fists, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going!"

Yunshan spread his hands and said to everyone, "Everyone has heard that the disciples of the five peaks have all gone down the mountain. As for why they didn't capture Wang Sheng and retrieve the flying sword, let Peak Master Gu answer this question!"

Sect Leader Lu had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, watching the clouds roll by and out with a smile. He seized the opportunity to intervene in the battle and said, "Brother Yuting, it seems that your disciples have not reported the results of the battle to you in time, and you don't know about it."

It seemed like he was giving Gu Yuting a way out and passing the blame to his disciples.

But to Gu Yuting and others, these were clearly murderous and heart-breaking words!
What do you mean by "disciple didn't report"? Doesn't it mean that I can't control my subordinates? Doesn't it mean that Chaoyun Peak is not under my absolute control as the outside world says? As the master of the peak, I can't control the overall situation, which means I am incompetent!
Grass!
Even though I have been practicing Taoism for many years, I still want to swear when I get angry!

"Master, I made a mistake in this matter. I will deal with it immediately after I return!"

Sect Leader Lu said, "Now that we've brought it up, let's not bring it up again. Let's discuss how to deal with the foreign enemies."

Gu Yuting and Ye Bufan looked at each other and realized that they had not gained the upper hand in the first game, so they could only look for an opportunity to win back a game!

Normally, he wanted to call a meeting of all the peaks to change people, but he was not qualified because he was not the leader! And the man surnamed Lu seemed to know that everyone was thinking about getting him out of office, and he didn't hold a meeting for a long time!

Today, a strong enemy came up the mountain, forcing Mr. Lu to call everyone together for a meeting. Such unexpected surprises always come so unexpectedly, and we must take advantage of this excellent opportunity to defeat Mr. Lu!

Gu Yuting, Ye Bufan and others exchanged glances, and everyone understood each other tacitly and agreed on the same idea in an instant.

That is, don't let the surname Lu lead you astray. No matter what happens today, you must get rid of the surname Lu first. As for the position of the head, we can discuss it later! If we can't reach a consensus, it is very likely that the surname Lu will defeat us one by one again today! The surname Lu gave up the position of the head just now, which is clearly a simplified version of the two peaches killing three warriors!
There is only one piece of meat, but there are eleven wolves!
What a vicious plot!
This is not an ordinary poison!
Ye Bufan asked: "What do you think, Sect Leader?"

Sect Leader Lu asked, "Don't you have any better ideas?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Taoist Chisong said: "It's not that difficult. Since the other party came to the mountain, there must be a reason. We just need to understand the other party's intentions and then deal with it."

Ye Bufan said: "What if the other party is here to seek revenge? For example, Wang Sheng killed his parents, or other disciples offended him, and he wants to kill him to pay for his life, what will you do?"

Yunshan snorted coldly, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules! Our Shushan is also the orthodox sect of Xuanmen. No matter who makes a mistake, they must bear the responsibility. Killing someone means paying with one's life, and debts must be paid. This is only natural. What objections do you have?"

Gu Yuting immediately shouted, "Okay! If someone comes looking for revenge, whoever caused the trouble will take the initiative to stand up and take the responsibility!"

Taoist Chisong frowned and said, "Brother Yuting, what do you mean by this? If we in Shushan are acting on behalf of heaven and kill those evildoers, if their relatives and friends come to seek revenge, do we also have to die to apologize for our sins?"

Gu Yuting was startled, then said: "Of course not! What I said has a premise, that is, the other party must be an innocent person!"

Sect Leader Lu smiled and said, "Why do you always think we are in the wrong?"

Gu Yuting remained calm and said, "I have always been cautious. I always think of the worst possible scenario for everything, so that I can plan for everything!"

Taoist Chisong and the others almost vomited. Gu Yuting boasted about himself as if it was a common thing, and he never blushed when he praised himself. I admire you so much!

Sect Leader Lu said, "Oh, I see. According to Junior Brother's method, we should just sit here and wait for them to come up? Haha, sitting back and waiting, not bad!"

Gu Yuting was stunned.

At the same time, I found that everyone looked at me strangely.

Oh no, he’s plotted against me again!
What does it mean to sit back and wait for something to happen? Isn't it just mocking yourself for being irresponsible and lacking courage?

The dignified Shushan Sect did not react at all when they were attacked on the mountain. They could only hide in the mountain and wait for the enemies to attack them, and then ask them why they attacked them. Once the enemies came to seek revenge, they had to hand over the target they were looking for!

What the hell is this called?
Cowardly? Fawning? Surrendering before the battle?

"Why are you looking at me? I have a second suggestion!"

Sect Leader Lu remained calm, "Oh, do you have any other suggestions?"

Gu Yuting said: "Organize a sword formation now and go down to intercept!"

Master Lu finally smiled heartily, "Okay, okay, brothers are united and their strength is invincible! As long as everyone is united, we can win no matter what! I agree with the second suggestion!" He said that either one was fine, but the second one was to let everyone fight with real swords and guns, which was the best strategy! If everyone didn't contribute some of their strength, would they keep it for the rebellion in the future?
Taoist Chisong asked, "What level of sword formation are you talking about?"

Gu Yuting's eyes turned cold, "Of course it's the highest level! Don't you know how powerful the enemy is?" If he was a small character in the underworld, how could he have been so successful?
Taoist Yuan Zhen, the head of Jixian Peak, said, "Okay, I will notify my family to send seven people right away."

Seven people can form the Seven Star Sword Formation.

The other peaks also immediately went out to send signals to summon people.

Sect Leader Lu asked, "Why haven't the people from Cuiping and Wangxia arrived yet? Do they want to break away from Shushan and become independent? Or do they want to rebel against Shushan?"

Thanks to Yudong for your strong support!
