: The Cult Leader is Wise!

The entire audience immediately perked up their ears.

Even the ten supreme elders all looked at him.

"From this day forward, the Xuantian Sect will establish three departments."

Chu Yuan spoke each word clearly, his voice carrying to every corner:

"The three departments are divided into... I have already informed the heads of the three lineages of the specific regulations."

As soon as he finished speaking, the square erupted in uproar.

In the past, the elders controlled the internal affairs of the church, and the elders had no say in it.

These disciples from the three lineages could only come here to do odd jobs.

Now these three departments...

It sounds like there's a chance to get involved.

The Seventh Elder's expression changed.

He hurriedly spoke:

"Master! Such an important matter should be discussed jointly by the ten Grand Elders..."

"What are you discussing?"

Chu Yuan interrupted him, his eyes cold:

"I am informing you, not asking for your opinions."

"..."

The Seventh Elder was speechless with anger, and took a step towards Chu Yuan:

"How dare you..."

A mere useless person!

The Seventh Elder was about to release his spiritual power when he found that he seemed unable to use it.

This is......

Spirit Imprisoning Array!!!

When was this set up?

The Seventh Elder stared wide-eyed at Chu Yuan's unfathomable eyes, feeling a chill run down his spine.

For now... let's spare his life!

Seeing the Seventh Elder's hesitant expression, Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He still had to rely on Qianji to set up the Spirit Imprisoning Array in advance, otherwise, if the old man got angry, he would have been exposed.

Chu Yuan said calmly:

"Does the Seventh Elder have anything else to say?"

The Seventh Elder's face was grim:

"No!"

"Then I'll continue..."

!

You have something else to say?!

Under the horrified gaze of the Seventh Elder.

Chu Yuan turned his head and continued speaking to the followers:

"The personnel of the three offices shall be nominated by each lineage. Regardless of cultivation level or seniority, only talent and ability shall be considered."

"boom--!"

This caused quite a stir.

The disciples below the stage erupted in cheers.

Regardless of cultivation level?

Regardless of seniority?

Does that mean that even someone at the Foundation Establishment stage can enter the Three Departments as long as they have the ability?

"Our leader is wise!!"

Someone shouted first.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar swept across the square:

"Our leader is wise!!!"

"Our leader is wise!!!"

The sound was deafening.

The young disciples were all so excited that their faces turned red.

They have been suppressed by the elders for too long.

Resources, opportunities, and the right to speak are all monopolized by those old guys.

If we don't give those old guys benefits, we'll hardly get any resources.

Now, with just one sentence from the cult leader, the path has been opened up!

In the past, those old guys could still claim that they were in charge.

Now it's all right, the cult leader has made it clear.

It is managed by three channels!

What does that have to do with your council of elders?!

What, I do the work, but you get to allocate the resources?

The faces of the ten Supreme Elders were all increasingly grim.

Especially the Seventh Elder.

His original plan was to force Chu Yuan to relinquish power to the elders, and Chu Yuan did indeed do so.

The power was delegated to the disciples of the three lineages, leaving the elders with absolutely no involvement!

The several elders secretly communicated and reached a consensus.

This system absolutely cannot be allowed to continue like this!

really!

In the crowd, many elders stepped forward in unison, and the one in the lead bowed and said:

"Master! The Ten Supreme Elders are highly respected and could serve as advisors to the Three Departments, to prevent any oversights by the younger disciples..."

Before he could finish speaking, a chorus of boos immediately rose from the surrounding disciples.

"The Supreme Elder is usually in seclusion for cultivation; how could he have time to concern himself with such trivial matters?"

"Exactly! Last time I went to collect the pills, I waited for three days and no one approved it; all the elders were in seclusion!"

"High cultivation level doesn't equate to being good at managing affairs! Last time, the Seventh Elder's faction took 30% more in resource allocation. Do you think we didn't know?"

Several of the bolder disciples started shouting, and the scene immediately became somewhat chaotic.

The Seventh Elder's face turned green.

He stared intently at the disciples who had spoken, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was nothing he could do.

Chu Yuan took everything in.

almost.

Chu Yuan turned around and flicked his sleeve, saying:

"The matter concerning the Three Offices is hereby settled. If there are any objections... please consult with the leaders of the Three Clans."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the ten elders and walked straight towards the Yuanji Hall.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced at Youyue, Litu, and Qianji.

The three understood and quietly followed.

Upon seeing this, the disciples all shouted:

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the leader—!"

His voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.

The Seventh Elder stood still, his hands clenched so tightly in his sleeves that they made a "crackling" sound.

He watched Chu Yuan leave, and then saw the disciples below the stage cheering and jumping for joy. His heart turned cold.

The plan has completely fallen through.

Not only did it fail to force Chu Yuan to reveal his true strength, it also allowed Chu Yuan to win over the hearts of his disciples.

Now that the three authorities have been established, the elders' power has been largely stripped away...

"Blood Fierce, what do we do now?"

The Fifth Elder asked in a telepathic voice, his tone anxious.

The Seventh Elder gritted his teeth and replied, word by word:

"wait."

"Wait until he makes a mistake."

"I refuse to believe... he's really unharmed!"

He gazed at the tightly closed gates of the Yuanji Palace, his eyes filled with chilling intent:

"Moreover, Qianji and Litu will definitely not help him!"

Meanwhile, inside the hall.

As soon as Chu Yuan closed the door, he let out a long breath and rubbed his aching temples.

Youyue immediately stepped forward:

"Master, just now..."

"Know."

Chu Yuan waved his hand:

"Qianji did a good job; the Soul Imprisoning Array was set up in time."

Qianji bowed slightly:

"I was merely trying to guess the leader's intentions and made some preparations in advance."

Li Tu scratched his head:

"Master, those elders definitely won't let this go. What should we do next..."

"Next,"

Chu Yuan turned around and looked at the three of them:

"It's your turn to get busy."

He walked to the desk and pulled out a scroll of pre-written regulations:

"The specific regulations for the Three Offices are here. Remember, candidates must come from among the disciples. Not a single person from the elders' lineage is allowed to enter."

Youyue took it, a glint of light flashing in her eyes:

"Does the cult leader intend to... completely sideline the council of elders?"

Chu Yuan just opened his mouth.

Qianji retorted:

"It was the disciples who thought it was right; the leader was just going along with it."

"They have been suppressed for too long, and now that they have a chance to turn things around, they will naturally push the elders even further."

"You don't actually think the cult leader simply dislikes the elders, do you?"

Qianji chuckled.

Li Tu seemed to understand but not quite, but he still nodded vigorously:

"Our leader is wise!"

Chu Yuan: "..."
