Chapter 249: Two hundred forty-nine Punishment
Every important meeting of the Jade Pot Sect would almost certainly see disputes arise between the Medical Pulse and Poison Vein factions, and this time was no exception, especially when it involved the appointment and removal of an elder with real power.
Fu Du saw the appearance of a Strange Spirit in the Jade Pot Cave as an opportunity to greatly weaken the influence of the Medical Pulse lineage, facilitating his and the Royal Family’s conspiratorial plans.
But the words of the Great Elder did hold some persuasive power. Indeed, a Strange Spirit had appeared in the Jade Pot Cave this time, but it was merely a Fourth Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit, which for the Jade Pot Sect was hardly a significant threat.
The Jade Pot Cave was one of the most critical locations for the Jade Pot Sect, related to the survival of the sect. Should its guardian be replaced, the new individual might even be worse than Fourth Elder Li Shan.
"Hehe, Great Elder, those who make mistakes must be punished. This is the foundation of our Jade Pot Sect. Have you forgotten?"
As the Third Elder also belonged to the Poison Vein lineage, he naturally spoke up in support and immediately threw a heavy accusation, which left Lu Zhan’s face red with anger.
The rules of the sect, when spoken of strictly, certainly did not tolerate violations, but when it concerned these elders with real power present, more often than not, people would turn a blind eye, and few would really take it seriously.
However, this time, Fu Du was adamant about pulling Li Shan down from his horse, and at the very least have his duty as the guardian of the Jade Pot Cave revoked. How could the elders of the Poison Vein lineage not support such a favorable development?
"Alright, everyone, you don’t need to argue over my affair any longer. I... am willing to give up the position of guarding the Jade Pot Cave!"
Just as the two factions were in a heated argument, a somewhat despondent voice suddenly emerged from the side. When everyone turned their heads to look, they saw that the speaker was Li Shan, who had not said anything up until then.
