You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 530 Fengqing Sect

Feng Qingmen.

This is a mid-level power among the human race, and its leader's strength is at the early stage of the Mahayana realm.

The sect leader of Fengqing Sect had previously gone to the ancestral court of the human race, and he happened to be one of those who opposed the unification of the human race.

He has now been killed by Li Sheng.

At this moment, inside the main hall of Fengqing Sect where divine consciousness jade tablets are stored.

All the elders of Fengqing Sect gathered here.

They looked at the jade pendant shattered on the ground, their eyes filled with worry.

"What exactly happened? Why did the sect leader's divine sense jade tablet shatter? Wasn't he supposed to be heading to the ancestral court?"

An elder from the Fengqing Sect said in a deep voice.

"The ancestral temple is located in the heart of human territory, which immediately eliminates the possibility that the sect leader was killed by a foreign race..."

"Therefore, only two possibilities remain: either the sect leader was abducted and killed by an enemy force of our Fengqing Sect, which is highly likely..."

"However, there is another possibility..."

Another elder spoke up, his face full of solemnity.

"What's possible?"

Everyone else turned to look at him and asked him questions.

The elder's expression grew even more solemn as he slowly spoke, "So it was the people from the Ancestral Court who killed the Sect Master..."

"What? How is that possible? How could the Ancestral Court kill the Sect Master? Why?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else was shocked and looked incredulous.

However, among the crowd, there was one person who did not behave like the others; his expression was very calm.

It was as if they already knew about this.

This person was Yuan Zongming, who had previously gone to the ancestral court of the human race, accidentally offended Han Xin, and was subsequently subdued by Yue Fei.

He had received a message from Yue Fei earlier, informing him of what had happened at the ancestral temple of the human race.

And he was tasked with finding a way to take control of the Fengqing Sect.

However, Yue Fei also knew that he couldn't do it alone.

Therefore, Yue Fei sent him some helpers.

"Nothing is impossible. In recent years, the ancestral court has weakened, and our various sects have often outwardly complied with its arrangements while inwardly resisting them..."

"But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Ancestral Court's strength is still terrifying, with its Holy Guards and Elder Xuan as its pillar of strength..."

"It was already somewhat illogical for the Ancestral Court to summon the Sect Master and the others here. Perhaps the Sect Master did something in the Ancestral Court that angered its powerful members, which is why he was killed by the Ancestral Court..."

"Of course, these are all just my guesses, but there are essentially only two possibilities..."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Those present looked at each other, and all saw the panic in each other's eyes.

Either of these scenarios would be extremely disadvantageous for Feng Qingmen.

If it were done by an opposing force, that would be better, since their opposing forces are all at the same level as them, making them relatively easy to deal with.

But if it were the ancestral temple that did it, that would be the most terrifying thing.

Although the strength of the ancestral court is not what it used to be, it is still not something that a small Fengqing Sect like theirs can provoke.

"Elder Bai, what should we do now?"

An elder looked at the elder who had spoken earlier with a worried expression and asked.

"The most urgent task now is to spread the news of the sect leader's death throughout the entire Fengqing Sect, and to put the sect on martial law, ready to guard against any possible attack..."

"Furthermore, we should invite our patriarch to oversee things. As long as our patriarch is present, our Fengqing Sect will be safe and sound..."

"Finally, we will elect a new sect leader. Once the sect leader is appointed, the entire Fengqing Sect will be an impregnable fortress, and no one can destroy us..."

Upon hearing his words, Elder Bai's eyes flashed with a triumphant look, and he spoke.

His main goal was the last sentence: he wanted to become the sect leader.

"Elder Bai is right. I think Elder Bai is qualified to succeed as sect leader. With Elder Bai here, Feng Qing Sect will surely be safe and sound..."

As soon as Elder Bai finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and spoke.

This person was clearly Elder Bai's man, and his purpose was to create momentum for Elder Bai.

Among the eighteen elders of Fengqing Sect, Elder Bai is the most powerful.

He is the third strongest in the entire Fengqing Sect, and several of the elders are his people.

Now that the sect leader is dead, and the patriarch usually doesn't concern himself with sect affairs, he is indeed the most promising candidate to succeed the sect leader.

After that elder finished speaking, the other elders did not object, which clearly showed that Elder Bai's words had had a good effect.

"I also agree that Elder Bai should become the sect leader. Our Fengqing Sect is currently in danger, and Elder Bai is more than capable of fulfilling the role of sect leader, both in terms of vision and strength..."

Another elder stepped forward to echo this sentiment.

This person is also Elder Bai's man.

Following his agreement, several more elders stepped forward.

Before long, half of the eighteen elders in the main hall supported Elder Bai as the sect leader.

Seeing this, Elder Bai's smile deepened.

"Ahem! Since you elders are so kind to me, then I shall..."

"Wait a minute!"

Elder Bai coughed lightly, intending to take over the position of sect leader, but before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out.

All eyes turned to the direction from which the voice came. They wanted to see who had the audacity to do so, since half the people present already supported them.

Now that you're jumping out to sing a different tune, aren't you afraid that Elder Bai will make things difficult for you after he becomes the sect leader?
