Chapter 267.2
The Great Elder confirmed that the Ziqing Holy Lord was poisoned. However, no one knew who the real murderer was. On the surface, the Great Elder was the most suspicious, but the suspicions of the Second Elder and the Third Elder could not be completely ruled out. Now that the Third Elder was dead and the Second Elder was on the run, the Great Elder was the only one left in charge of the Ziqing Sacred Land.
Of course, there are other elders in Ziqing Sacred Land, but they are insignificant and their opinions basically do not need to be considered.
After all, the Tiangang Sword Sect was an outsider. They were not judges and could not administer justice. In addition, they had no evidence, so even though the Tiangang Sword Sect elders did not really believe the words of the Great Elder, they could only pretend to understand on the surface.
No matter how the Great Elder said that the Second Elder was not trustworthy, the elder of the Tiangang Sword Sect just refused to listen, which made him angry. In the end, no one knew what he was thinking, but he suddenly had an idea and said that the two most qualified to succeed the Ziqing Holy Lord were the two direct disciples of the Ziqing Holy Lord, which were Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian. So he suggested that they should directly call these two people back to the Ziqing Sacred Land and choose the next Ziqing Holy Lord from the two of them.
The Great Elder thought that Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian were probably dead, so they would definitely not return to the Ziqing Sacred Land. Although the Tiangang Sword Sect elders also understood this, they could not easily draw conclusions because they had not yet confirmed the life and death of the two. Even on the surface, they had to recruit the two back first. As for whether they could be recruited back, that was another matter.
As long as one of either Tang Fei or Murong Pianpian comes back, someone will be able to take over the mess of Ziqing Sacred Land. But if they don’t come back… then they will have to continue discussing the succession of Ziqing Holy Lord.
The elder also said “kindly” that Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian might be dead, but they might also be alive. If they were still alive, they might be recuperating in some remote corner. So they probably wouldn’t be able to come back in the short term. So he suggested that it would be best to wait for three months. If Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian still couldn’t come back after three months, then they could discuss the matter of re-establishing the Ziqing Holy Lord.
After hearing this, the elders of Tiangang Sword Sect looked at the Great Elder meaningfully for a while, then slowly nodded in agreement.
It must be said that the Great Elder was quite capable. Originally, the situation put him on the defensive because of the exposure of the Ziqing Holy Lord being poisoned, but he eased the problem with just a few words.
