Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment.

He was really confused now.

"Tell it to everyone?"

"Yes, I just want to motivate you..." Bai Zizai lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"I, I...Pfft..."

Dongfang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood: "You and everyone else say so, I..."

"Master, but Senior Brother was indeed the best back then!" Jiang Baihe stood up at this time and shouted, "Why didn't you choose him!"

"Yes!"

Xu Hui and Wu Feng also stood up at this time: "We don't accept it!"

Dongfang Yu reacted and realized that this was the key!

Although he told everyone, he was the best!

"So, you all said it in words but didn't really accept it back then..." Bai Zizai smiled bitterly, "It's me, the Valley Master, who is wrong..."

"I dare not..." Jiang Baihe gritted his teeth and said, "Although you are the master, I was raised by the eldest brother. He treats me like his own brother... We couldn't understand why you let him go to Prison Dragon Lake and let the second brother be the head of the sect."

"At that time, the eldest senior brother did not refute, saying that it was difficult to disobey the master's order, but he was still holding back a rage in his heart!"

"Huh... It's because his aptitude is too good." Bai Zizai said helplessly: "It's a pity for him to be the head of the sect."

"Being the head of the sect is a pity?" Jiang Baihe was confused.

He never imagined that pity could be linked to being the head of a sect.

"Bai He, you are the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. How much time do you have left for practice every year?" Bai Zizai looked at Jiang Baihe.

"This..." Jiang Baihe thought about it. After becoming the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, there were all kinds of things to do every day. He spent the whole day dealing with trivial matters. How could he have so much time to practice?

"Wu Feng, you also have disciples. How much of your energy do your disciples take up?" Bai Zizai looked at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng opened his mouth.

"If Dongfang becomes the head of the sect, he will have to deal with those visitors who come to visit the valley every day, and worry about all the big and small things in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. Wouldn't that be a waste of his talent?" Bai Zizai glanced at everyone: "If he puts all this aside and concentrates on cultivation, wouldn't he have a better chance of stepping into the great way?"

The rebels present looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never expected that this was the reason.

Dongfang Yu was also stunned: "You mean, you didn't let me become the head because you didn't value me?"

"I value you too much, that's why I don't let you be the head sect leader." Bai Zizai said.

"Then why didn't you say it clearly at the beginning?" Dongfang Yu's breathing became rapid: "I..."

"You always set strict standards for yourself as a sect leader, and I saw that. But you were too deliberate. You focused on interpersonal relationships and the things a sect leader should do. At that time, you were still able to lead the others in cultivation, all thanks to your talent." Bai Zizai said, "I was thinking at that time, if you didn't focus on this, how far would you have gone?"

"However, becoming the head of the sect has become your obsession."

"In order to make you give up this obsession, I will do my best and resign from the position of the head of Wanhua Valley. The second brother has a gentle temperament and his talent is at a certain limit. He always considers the interests of Wanhua Valley, so let him be the head."

"And you, I asked you to go to Prison Dragon Lake because I hope that one day you can think clearly and see through this for yourself."

"Your obsession has become your inner demon. Only by defeating your inner demon can you hope to achieve heavenly man. If I had told you that back then, you would have found it difficult to achieve heavenly man if you had focused on ascetic practice. Heavenly man is not achieved by ascetic practice alone."

"I have been waiting all these years, waiting for you to feel that the position of the head is not important, waiting for you to suddenly let go one day."

"Then, he surpassed his teacher and entered the realm of the gods."

Chapter 233 Your Life My Dream

Dongfang Yu's face turned blue and then pale.

He didn't expect that in the end, he would be defeated by his own obsession?

Looking at the sincere expression on his master's face, he was a little dazed.

Have I been wrong all these years?

"Dongfang Yu, you are too narrow-minded." Tu Shuqing pointed at Dongfang Yu.

"Elder Tu, you can't say that..." Gu Yuexuan sighed, "Don't advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering."

"If you were to persist in something for dozens or even hundreds of years, and suddenly one day someone told you that your efforts were in vain and someone easily took away everything you had gained, what would you do?"

"It's like a student who has studied hard for ten years. When he takes the imperial examination, his test paper is swapped, causing him to fail. If he is asked not to feel resentful at this time, will he agree?"

"His own hopes, his family's hopes, everything, were taken away so easily. How could he be willing to accept this?"

"They say that a prime minister has a broad mind, but how many people can really be so open-minded?"

"After working so hard, I got nothing in the end. It's so hard to let go at this time."

"I have always been so relaxed because many things have not happened to me. If they really happened to me, I may not be much better than my senior brother."

"Valley Master, you are still speaking for this traitor at this time." Tu Shuqing opened his mouth and was convinced by Gu Yuexuan.

"Dongfang, do you really think Lao Er has always been pretending to be like this?" Bai Zizai said, "If someone can really pretend to be a gentleman for a hundred years, then what is the difference between him and a real gentleman?"

"Heh..." Dongfang Yu smiled bitterly.

He could accept that he would fail and be killed. He could accept that his cultivation would be destroyed and he would be thrown onto the street, becoming a beggar and competing with stray dogs for food.

But, at this time, he was asked to accept charity from his enemies...

He can't.

"Master, there is no point in saying more. The winner makes you a king and the loser makes you a bandit. I am not destined to be the head of the sect." Dongfang Yu put his hands behind his back and looked at everyone present silently.

"Brother, being the head of the sect is not that comfortable..." Gu Yuexuan let out a long sigh: "Do you know how I have been living these years? After I succeeded the head of the sect, I walked on thin ice every day, fearing that I would make mistakes and affect the entire Wanhua Valley."

"I have to take care of the disciples' affairs, I have to take care of the elders' affairs, I have to find someone to deal with the traitors, I have to take care of the secret realms, I have to distribute the supplies, and I have to frequently communicate with the court and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I have to personally receive important guests."

"How many of these decades do I have on my own?"

"You know what? I haven't been in seclusion for decades. Whenever I'm in seclusion, if an important guest comes, and I neglect him because of my seclusion, it means that Wanhua Valley looks down on him. After all, my every move represents Wanhua Valley."

"It's all thanks to Mo Yi that I can be in seclusion for more than ten days this time."

"I was injured while treating someone. It was said to be confidential, but who among those with some status in Wanhua Valley doesn't know about it?"

"I stole all of this in the past ten days."

"Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier if you wanted to be the headmaster? Let's switch places. I also want to practice well and I don't want to be involved in all this family affairs."

"Gu Yuexuan, do you find it interesting to say this at this time?" Dongfang Yu frowned.

"Brother, I am sincere." Gu Yuexuan looked at Dongfang Yu sincerely, "As long as you can train a divine doctor, I, Gu Yuexuan, swear to the Dao that I will give up my position immediately!"

"If there is even a single falsehood in what I said before, I will never be able to live in heaven again."

Dongfang Yu opened his mouth.

Looking at the people in front of him and thinking about what he had done, he suddenly felt that he was a joke.

You have worked hard all your life to get a seat in that position, but the person sitting in that position has already had enough.

In fact, he was willing to give up his position to me just by saying a word.

What about now? He is trying to lure the Ice Dragon out of the Dragon Prison Lake and start a rebellion.

In the end, this is the outcome.

"Brother, I know that you have always had Wanhua Valley in your heart. Otherwise, you would not have tried your best not to hurt the disciples of Wanhua Valley when you launched the rebellion."

"When facing me, you held back. If you hadn't said so much to me, I'm afraid I would have died." Gu Yuexuan said, "Brother, turn back."

"Turn around? You want me to turn around at this time?" Dongfang Yu pointed at himself with a funny look on his face.

"Well, if you want to be the head of the sect, I can pass the position to you in front of Master..."

"Shut up!"

Dongfang Yuli shouted: "Don't forget, you are the head of the sect!"

"How can you lead the Wanhua Valley when you are so soft-hearted?"

"Back then you were weak-willed. You took sides with everyone and tried to make a big deal out of a small matter. I looked down on you from that time on!"

"Even if I didn't cause many casualties, I'm still guilty of a serious crime!"

"When did Wanhua Valley become so unruly? The judge can become the head of the valley and can be released without charge. Then where are the rules of Wanhua Valley?"

"How is it different for you to enforce the law in this way than for you to wantonly slaughter civilians outside and then, because of your noble status and the support of the powerful, drink three cups as punishment?"

"Jiang Baihe, step out!"

"Senior Brother..." Jiang Baihe stood up, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What is the crime for betraying Wanhua Valley?" Dongfang Yu asked loudly.

"First, they will receive the seven-day meridian-destroying needle, suffer the pain of thousands of insects gnawing at their hearts, then their foundation will be destroyed, their spirit will be cut off, and their heads will be hung up for three days as a warning to the public..." Jiang Baihe said this and changed the subject: "However, if the offender has made great contributions, he will be imprisoned for life as a spiritual vein of Wanhua Valley, or exiled... to the Endless Sea."

Life imprisonment may not seem like a serious crime, but as the spiritual vein of Wanhua Valley...

It is equivalent to treating a person as a spirit stone mine, using him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then the magic power in his body will serve as energy.

This severe punishment is much more severe than modern life imprisonment.

For example, if you want to eat pork, a normal person would kill a pig.

However, the punishment is that the pig is kept alive, and the meat is cut off when it is hungry, and then the meat is cut off again when it recovers... until it dies.

The current Ice Dragon has always been treated like this.

The reason why it wants to fight is that it doesn't want to be like this anymore.

However, it is different from Dongfang Yu. Dongfang Yu is a human being. How long does he have? How long can it live?

So, it is willing to wait, thinking that it is better to live a miserable life than to die.

As for the Endless Sea, over the years, only two souls have escaped. No one even remembers what kind of horror is inside the Endless Sea. It is recognized as a Jedi.

Exiling people there is equivalent to giving you a chance to try again to see if you can make some contribution to the Great Zhou.

The laws of this era are much stricter than those of modern times.

If it were modern times, you were originally sentenced to death, and then something was invented the day before the execution, it would be changed to a suspended death sentence, and the sentence would be gradually reduced.

In this era, even if one has made great contributions, there is not much room for survival.

Of course, whether in this era or in modern times, if one has a strong enough background, he or she will just drink three cups of wine as punishment.

Gu Yuexuan has already let go, but Dongfang Yu is still willing to do so now. It can be seen that he really regards becoming the head of the sect as his life goal and always keeps the rules in mind.

Even willing to use one's own life to prove the law.

"Wanhua Valley, if I break the rules because of me, then Wanhua Valley will no longer be worthy of standing in the world, and you, Gu Yuexuan, will become a sinner for all eternity!" Dongfang Yu said in a deep voice: "If the law is not strictly enforced, everyone will want to rebel."

"As for being the head of a sect, you, Gu Yuexuan, are still far from it!"

"Brother, make the judgment!"

"With Jiang Baihe's position, he is not qualified to convict me..."

"Master." Gu Yuexuan quickly looked at Bai Zizai.

"Alas..." Bai Zizai sighed: "It is precisely because of your kindness that I let Bai He be the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Gu Yuexuan lowered his head.

"Don't act like a little girl." Dongfang Yu said loudly, "I really wanted to kill you just now. How can I repay kindness with evil? Set an example for the disciples of Wanhua Valley!"

“Brother, I’m sorry…” Gu Yuexuan raised his head and said indifferently, “The sinner Dongfang Yu is exiled to the Endless Sea. Considering that the Supreme Master has come out of seclusion, I will go with him in the future.”

"Jiang Baihe, Xu Hui, and Wu Feng, as inner sect elders, broke the law knowingly and were exiled together. They announced to the public that they were reluctant to leave the Supreme Sect Leader and wanted to go in search of opportunities."

The three of them saluted to Gu Yuexuan at the same time and accepted the punishment.

They had already prepared themselves mentally for this when they rebelled against Dongfang Yu.

Their hearts are bitter.

They didn't expect that in the end, this would be the outcome.

There is no favoritism, no injustice, no shady dealings at all. They just feel it is unfair and they feel sorry for Dongfang Yu.
