When the Great Elder heard the news, he vomited three liters of blood on the spot.

Even if he used his big toe, he could guess who spread this rumor. He was so angry that he cursed the Second Elder in his room for a full hour. When he got too agitated, he almost couldn’t breathe and died on the spot.

Fortunately, he was not destined to die, and he finally managed to regain his breath.

This matter was widely circulated among the cultivators, but most people only discussed it in private. After all, the Ziqing Sacred Land was a large and powerful force, and it was not something that ordinary sects could compare to. Even though the power of Ziqing Sacred Land was seriously injured, everyone was still very wary of it due to its accumulated prestige.

However, the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect did not have many concerns about this. Not only did they not have any concerns, but they were overjoyed because they realized that the opportunity to overthrow the Ziqing Sacred Land had come!

So they began to spread this rumor widely, and added a lot of specious-sounding details, even making up what kind of poison the Ziqing Holy Lord was poisoned with and where it came from.

The speaker swore with confidence, and the listener was half-believing and half-doubting. But regardless of whether they believed it or not, the rumor, at least with the help of the two major sects, spread throughout the entire Beizhou.

But when they heard this rumor, the people who were most troubled were not those from Ziqing Sacred Land, but those from the Tiangang Sword Sect.

The friendship between the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Ziqing Sacred Land has lasted for thousands of years, and it reached its peak during the reign of the Wind Emperor Ji Wuya and the Water Fairy Mo Wei. Since then, the two major sects have established an unbreakable relationship. Even though Ziqing Sacred Land has been plagued by internal problems, the friendship between the two sides has never been affected.

However, even though the relationship was good, some things still couldn’t be overstepped. Just like now, the Ziqing Sacred Land was in chaos, and the Tiangang Sword Sect sent people here to help stabilize the situation. As for who was right and who was wrong, the Tiangang Sword Sect would not care.

However, this rumor put the Tiangang Sword Sect into a dilemma.

Killing the Holy Lord of their own Sacred Land, this matter would be criticized even if it was placed in those devil dao sects. The Tiangang Sword Sect claimed to be a noble and upright sect. Of course, it would not be willing to be in the same boat with such scum. But if the Great Elder really did such a thing, then the current behavior of their Tiangang Sword Sect is no different from aiding and abetting evil.

But the Tiangang Sword Sect couldn’t just take the people away, because it violated the friendship and moral principle between the two major sects. After all, the Ziqing Sacred Land had become like this. If the Tiangang Sword Sect didn’t protect it, wouldn’t the Ziqing Sacred Land truly be in trouble?

After repeated consideration, the Tiangang Sword Sect decided to cut off the source of the problem.

Directly ask the Great Elder to invite out the Ziqing Holy Lord.

Over the years, Ziqing Sacred Land has been claiming that its Holy Lord is in seclusion seeking a breakthrough. Whether others believe it or not, at least this is the situation on the surface. If they want to dispel the influence of rumors, then the best way is to remove the cause of the rumors directly.

But facing the request of the Tiangang Sword Sect, the Great Elder hesitated and spoke incoherently. After talking nonsense for a long time, the final conclusion was that the Ziqing Holy Lord could not be invited out.

Hearing these words, the elder in charge of the team brought by the Tiangang Sword Sect suddenly understood clearly.

It seems that the rumor is not a rumor, it is very likely to be the truth.

Things are getting more complicated.

Interfering with other sects’ internal affairs was a taboo for the prominent and upright sects. If the Tiangang Sword Sect rashly interfered with the internal affairs of the Ziqing Sacred Land, it would be easy for people to think that they were trying to take advantage of the opportunity to control the entire Ziqing Sacred Land.

But in the current situation, the Tiangang Sword Sect had no choice but to intervene.

After two days of internal discussion within the Tiangang Sword Sect, they finally came up with a solution. It was to summon all the disciples of the Ziqing Sacred Land to jointly elect a new Ziqing Holy Lord!

What the Tiangang Sword Sect means is that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Ziqing Sacred Land, but it can make the decision to make sure that the Ziqing Sacred Land would solve its own problems!

At that moment, the Tiangang Sword Sect announced this decision to the Great Elder. Moreover, they did not come to seek the Great Elder’s opinion, but to inform him.

The Great Elder was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

But the situation was stronger than the person. No matter how dissatisfied the Great Elder was, he could only grit his teeth and accept it due to the strength of the Tiangang Sword Sect.

But he did not do nothing. After thinking hard all night, he privately found the elders of Tiangang Sword Sect and told them about the situation of the Ziqing Holy Lord.

He first admitted that it was a fact that Ziqing Holy Lord was poisoned, but then he changed the subject and pointed the finger at the Second Elder. He said that the person who really poisoned the Ziqing Holy Lord was none other than the Second Elder. After Ziqing Holy Lord was poisoned, he knew that there was no cure, so he handed over the management of the Ziqing Sacred Land to the Great Elder. He had worked diligently and hard for the past three years just to bring down the Second Elder’s lineage and avenge the Ziqing Holy Lord.

The Great Elder described it vividly, and when he was moved, he even burst into tears, looking extremely sad. The elders of Tiangang Sword Sect had no choice but to comfort him, saying that if Ziqing Holy Lord knew about this, he would definitely not want to see you like this.

But it’s hard to say what they were thinking.

Anyway, the matter of re-electing the Ziqing Holy Lord was not shelved because of this.
