"It won’t be long now, with the full support of these resources, within at most half a year, I will step into the True Immortal Realm and take control of the Heavenly Dao."
Jiang Yujian stated solemnly.
This tiline was roughly in line with what Gu Jinlai had anticipated.
Soon, under the guidance of Ye Yan, Gu Jinlai re-erged outside the Grotto Heaven.
By then, there were already quite a few people waiting there, not only Ye Qingzhu and Yu Xu among others, but even Ye Bingyu and Jiang Yukong had hurried over.
Seeing Supre Elder Ye Yan himself in motion, Ye Bingyu was the first to approach and say, "Father... Yu Feng might be young and act rashly, but please consider the years of dedicated service Jiang Yujian has rendered to Creation Gate and be lenient regarding his offense against Elder Yun Guang."
Ye Yan glanced at Ye Bingyu, his expression tinged with emotion.
However, he did not elaborate and rely swept his gaze over those present: "Gather all the elders and proceed to the main hall, I have an important announcent to make."
The fact that Ye Yunguang was severely injured by Gu Jinlai had, within a very short period of ti, spread throughout almost half of Creation Gate.
Now that the Supre Elder was calling for a eting, the elders were not surprised, and they nodded swiftly, sending ssages to the other elders and heading for the main hall.
"Let’s go."
Ye Yan nodded to Ye Bingyu but did not look again at those waiting outside, like Ye Qingzhu, or at the severely injured Ye Yunguang.
This attitude...
Suddenly gave Ye Qingzhu, Ye Yunguang and the other elders of the Ye Family lineage a bad premonition.
"Could it be..."
Ye Yunguang’s eyes filled with fear: "It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. With injured like this, Uncle Ye will surely stand up for , he won’t favor outsiders..."
"Let’s go."
Ye Qingzhu, looking grim, stepped forward, leading a group of people toward the main hall.
Before long, the elders of Creation Gate had assembled.
Apart from those who were really unable to leave their duties, the number of elders who arrived at the main hall reached thirty-four.
Each one was a Righteous Sect Immortal who had overco the Heavenly Tribulation.
Many had already scoped out the situation before arriving and guessed that this matter must be related to the conflict between Jiang Yufeng, Ye Yunguang, and others outside the Sect.
However, Jiang Yufeng’s background didn’t seem as simple as he portrayed, as evidenced by his ability to sit on an equal footing with Venerable Daoist Ye Yan at the main hall.
When everyone had nearly arrived, Ye Yan spoke up: "Now that everyone is here, let’s discuss the reason I called you all to this place today."
His gaze swept over the many elders in the hall, pausing for a mont on Ye Qingzhu, and then he directly said, "Daoist Jiang Yufeng, who cultivates the Innate Sacred Path alongside his regular practice with combat strength no less than that of Peak True Immortals and who has provided great help to our Creation Gate and brought developntal opportunities to the Sect, has been appointed by both Sword Master and as Vice Sect Leader of Creation Gate. During Sword Master’s seclusion, Daoist Yufeng will act as Sect Leader."
Having said this, he emphatically added, "This is a decision made after careful deliberation by both Sword Master and myself. Henceforth, please fully cooperate with Acting Sect Leader Yu Feng in all of his actions."
"Jiang Yufeng to take the position of Vice Sect Leader of Creation Gate!? And to act as Sect Leader!?"
"Practicing the Innate Sacred Path and possessing Peak True Immortal Battle Power!? No wonder Ye Yunguang, Ye Qingzhu, and the other five Great Elders together were no match for Jiang Yufeng... not even for a single exchange against Sect Master Yu Feng."
"Having Jiang Yufeng act as Sect Leader amidst a serious conflict with the Ye Family lineage... could it be..."
One elder after another was montarily shocked, quickly realizing sothing.
It seed the Supre Elder was gearing up for a major move.
While the elders from the Jiang Yujian faction showed signs of joy, the neutral faction’s elders were contemplative and silent. In contrast, the elders from the Ye Family faction started to panic.
Especially Ye Qingzhu, who had a bad hunch when Gu Jinlai erged unscathed from the Grotto Heaven with Ye Yan, and now...
Her premonition seed to have been confird.
"Thank you Venerable Daoist Ye and Sword Master for your trust. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations and strive to bring Creation Gate back to its forr glory and to its peak once again," said Gu Jinlai as he stepped forward, scanning the people gathered around: "The first task in my new role is to rectify the order within the Sect. Over the years, Supre Elder has been in seclusion, leading to so mismanagent within the Sect..."
As Gu Jinlai ntioned that rectifying the Sect’s order would be his first priority, Ye Yunguang seed to realize that he would soon take action against the Ye Family lineage, and he quickly stepped forward saying: "What contributions has Jiang Yufeng made to our Creation Gate to warrant him acting as Sect Leader!? How can such a decree by the Supre Elder satisfy the masses!?"
"Since you’ve stepped forward, I will directly announce my decision regarding you. Based on your actions within Creation Gate over the years, hoarding Sect resources, oppressing Sect geniuses, leading to the death of more than ten True Disciples, I have decided to strip you of your cultivation and expel you from Creation Gate," Gu Jinlai declared straightforwardly.
"Accuse of hoarding Sect resources, oppressing Sect geniuses? What evidence do you have!?" demanded Ye Yunguang fiercely.
"Evidence?" asked Gu Jinlai, looking at Ye Yunguang with so surprise. "Given your overbearing behavior in Creation Gate all these years, do you really think I would not be able to find evidence?"
Ye Yunguang’s expression montarily stiffened.
Clearly, he too realized that if matters were taken seriously, being punished according to the Sect rules, he deserved no less than ten deaths.
But to strip away his cultivation and expel him from the Sect...
That was even worse than death to him!
For a mont, the elder’s face turned red, and he declared vehently, "I won’t accept this kind of punishnt outco!"
"You won’t accept it?" asked Gu Jinlai, feeling the gaze of the other elders on him and asking without expression, "And your reasons are?"
