Chapter 300 Hesitation leads to defeat
The Great Elder was so proud that he couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Xie Han is the young master of the Imperial Master's Mansion, so he certainly shouldn't call her by her name.

But today is different from the past!
He is just a sinner, he can shout whatever he wants!
Xie Yutong has no other options!
Now, I can only seize on this ridiculous and insignificant point to attack him.

It can be seen that he is well aware that he is not in the right.

Otherwise, with Xie Yutong's temper of getting violent at the slightest disagreement, there's no way he would bother to talk to him about this and that.

It's obvious that he wants to delay time.

How sad!
"Your Excellency's teaching is correct!" The Great Elder pretended to admit his mistake, but in fact he sneered at it.

He bowed his hands without any sincerity, without even bending his body, and soon raised his head and continued to attack: "But, the matter of the young master hiding the sacrifices of the Spirit Servant Clan should be resolved as soon as possible, Your Majesty, you must not lose the big picture for the small one!"

There was already a hint of forcing the emperor to abdicate in his words.

"The Great Elder knew that it was wrong, but he still called Xie Han by his name. This shows that he knowingly committed a crime and should be punished more severely."

Xie Yutong didn't respond at all to the Great Elder's words that he was eager to deal with Sang Jingwan and Xie Han.

The Great Elder's face froze, then he became happy and vaguely proud.

Is Xie Yutong really out of options?
That's why I'm nitpicking on this small mistake and talking about other things.

How pitiful!

“Your Majesty! The most urgent task right now is to deal with Xie Han! Deal with the sacrifice of the Spirit Servant Clan!”

The Great Elder simply stopped pretending, snorted coldly, and went straight to the point: "If Xie Han is still the young master of our country's master's house, I should respect her and should not call her by her name. I admit this crime."

"But now, Xie Han has ignored the ancestral rules and privately kept the offerings of the Spirit Servant Clan, which has seriously harmed the fortune of the State Master's Mansion. This is truly a sin with evil intentions and is unforgivable!"

"I should respect the Young Master of my country's Master's Mansion, but Xie Han, she is not worthy! For me to respect a person who harbors evil intentions as the Young Master, Your Majesty might as well kill me!"

"It also saves me from waking up in the middle of the night feeling guilty about my ancestors and my conscience!"

puff……

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, he flew backwards, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and flew a long distance.

Everyone's eyes widened in horror.

Xie Yutong withdrew his hand calmly, as if he had just waved his hand and crushed an ant to death.

It seems like he doesn't care at all.

"Everyone heard it, right? The Great Elder knowingly committed the crime, which is aggravated by his crime. Even he admitted it himself."

She began to explain why she had taken action.

The Great Elder was lying on the ground, his limbs seemed to have lost their supporting power and hung limply on his body, completely out of his control.

He was so angry that he wanted to speak out, angrily accusing Xie Yutong of favoritism and bending the law for personal gain, and being unworthy of the responsibility!

But as soon as he opened his mouth, countless blood gushed out, leaving him no chance to speak.

Whenever he tried to speak, the gushing blood would choke him to death.

Xie Yutong...she must have done it on purpose!
Puff cough cough.

The Great Elder was filled with hatred. He lay on the ground and tried hard to dig into the ground with his nails, but his limbs did not obey him at all. Even such a small movement was useless to him.

on purpose!
This woman must have done it on purpose.

The Great Elder felt more and more resentful and depressed, but he could only feel depressed and resentful.

There is nothing he can do.

He could only look at other people, hoping that someone among them would stand up and speak for him.

The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.

He fell today, but they may be the ones to fall tomorrow.

The lips and teeth are interdependent.

Don't these people see the truth in this?

The others had already been frightened by Xie Yutong's sudden attack.

How could I have the mind to worry about whether the lips and teeth are interdependent or not?

They are all very scared now.

They were afraid that they would be the next ones to be beaten to death by Xie Yutong.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and begged Xie Yutong to calm down.

Xie Yutong didn't shout either.

The silent atmosphere suddenly added a lot of pressure to everyone.

They buried their heads lower, and even when they were kneeling on the ground, they couldn't stop their legs from shaking.

At this time, almost everyone remembered why Xie Yutong stood out and became their leader.

Isn’t it because this power can take someone’s life with just a touch?

Xie Yutong's eyes swept lightly over everyone. Even though he said nothing and did nothing, everyone still felt uneasy and terrified.

"If everyone has no objection to this matter, then let's move on to the next matter."

How dare everyone say anything?
Xie Yutong didn't seem to care whether they responded or not.

"According to the rules of our ancestors, if the sacrifices sent by the spirits are not demented or soul-destroying, they cannot be kept."

"Either kill him or extract his soul."

"And the act of extracting souls is really against the way of heaven and hurts the harmony of nature, so for these sacrifices that are not soulless and stupid, the Imperial Master's Mansion has always taken the approach of killing them to prevent future troubles."

"I don't need to explain these things, everyone should know what they are, right?"

Yeah!
How dare people say anything to deny it?
They didn't even hear clearly what Xie Yutong said, let alone have the energy to think about what Xie Yutong meant. They just wanted to quickly agree with everyone else's thoughts, lest they be slow to respond and end up like the First Elder and the Fifth Elder, losing their lives.

If it was just one of the Fifth Elders, they wouldn't be scared like this.

But unfortunately, except for Xie Yutong, the most powerful elder among them was lying there like a dead dog, unable to make a sound.

Not to mention, the fifth elder had already been carried away, but the first elder was still lying here.

It was as if it was left here specially for them to see!
At this point, no one cared about the life or death of the great elder.

But everyone is afraid of becoming the next great elder.

No one dared to say anything more.

"And the reason why there is this ancestral precept is actually very simple."

"It's nothing more than that, back then, a certain ancestor, out of a momentary compassion, or perhaps some other consideration, accepted a sacrifice sent by the Spirit Servant Clan."

"It just so happens that this sacrifice of the Spirit Servant Clan is also not insane or stupid."

Xie Yutong chuckled softly: "In fact, the fact that he didn't lose his soul in the forbidden area and become stupid also shows that this spirit servant is intelligent and gifted. If he is taken in, he can be of great use."

Everyone looked at each other secretly, and each of them had an absurd idea in their mind.

What does your Excellency mean by this? Are you trying to keep the person here?
One of the Nine Elders just died...

Are they going to let this sacrifice take the place of the Ninth Elder? "The ancestral teachings do not allow living but non-demented Shiling sacrifices to stay. It is precisely because the Shiling sacrifice who was taken in at the beginning betrayed the Imperial Master's Mansion after learning the secret techniques of our Imperial Master's Mansion, and wanted to take his people and abolish the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"Our ancestors managed to save the bloodline and glory of the Imperial Master's Mansion from that brutal fight, so they naturally didn't want to repeat the same mistake. They were also worried that someone among the younger generation would repeat the same mistake, so they set down such a one-size-fits-all ancestral precept to try to nip all dangers in the bud!"

"But I always think that escaping is not the solution to the problem."

Everyone fell silent, and had no idea what Xie Yutong was up to.

I just want to reduce my presence, avoid being noticed, and be used as an example to scare the monkeys.

"What do you think?"

But Xie Yutong didn't let them go.

They thought, they thought...Xie Yutong was right!
But if we really say that, wouldn't that be disrespecting our ancestors and thinking that what they did was wrong?
It's really like this, it's death no matter how you do it.

It is difficult to advance or retreat, it is a dilemma!
Everyone was sweating profusely.

"Why don't you speak?"

Xie Yutong glanced at everyone: "Do you think what I said is wrong?"

No, no, no, you are right!

The elders hesitated, as if they were having a heart attack. They wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

"What your Excellency said is naturally reasonable."

Under the gazes of everyone, the Second Elder stood up tremblingly and bowed, saying, "But since our ancestors have given us this instruction, I think it must have been carefully considered."

"Your Excellency is right, and the teachings of our ancestors are also correct."

The second elder is well versed in the art of balancing the two and not offending anyone.

After listening to the second elder's speech, everyone gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.

talent!

With the second elder taking the lead, the others followed suit.

"The Second Elder has a point."

Everyone shouted: "Your Majesty is right! The ancestors are right! The Second Elder is right!"

The main point is that you won’t offend anyone you follow.

Xie Yutong sneered, and everyone fell silent.

"The Second Elder does have a point."

Only after receiving Xie Yutong's affirmation did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, if the matter remains unresolved for a long time, our descendants will still have to witness the killing of living beings in the future."

"This is really of no benefit to the path of cultivation."

"Please don't forget what the great path that our Imperial Master's Office is pursuing is."

"It is immortality and the supreme power."

"But if we remain stuck here, obeying the rules of our ancestors and not daring to make any breakthroughs, then what chance do we have of touching the avenue?"

"If we remain complacent, each generation will only make us worse off and regress further."

Everyone looked at each other, unable to figure out what Xie Yutong meant.

Only the Second Elder suddenly spoke up: "Your Excellency, do you want to try another path?"

Xie Yutong looked at people with a smile.

The second elder seemed to understand something instantly.

"Forgive me for saying something extra, but back then our ancestor was suddenly betrayed by someone close to him. That person showed no mercy and each move was fatal."

"It was not easy for our ancestors to turn danger into safety. Many of the elite disciples of the National Master's Mansion died because of this. The power of the National Master's Mansion also fell into a state of lack of successors."

"In order to preserve the flame, our ancestors ordered everyone in the Imperial Master's Mansion to lie low. At the same time, they also issued a precept that all descendants of the Imperial Master's Mansion must not protect or allow the sacrifices of the Spirit Servant Clan."

The Second Elder gradually became less fearful and his voice became gentler.

"But the present is different from the past. Our Imperial Master's Mansion has gone through a long period of recuperation, the joint efforts of several generations, and now we have His Majesty's wise and powerful leadership."

"If we continue to stick to our ancestors' teachings, it will not be beneficial to future development."

"If we can come up with a good way to have the best of both worlds in our generation, it would be a great deed!"

After the Second Elder finished speaking in a proud manner, Xie Yutong gave him a look that said "Not bad, you are very smart".

The second elder breathed a sigh of relief.

This is settled, no need to die.

"What do you think of what the Second Elder said?"

Xie Yutong turned his gaze towards other people, instantly adding pressure to them.

"The Second Elder is right! Your Majesty is wise and powerful!"

I don’t know who shouted first, but then many people followed suit.

"The Second Elder is right! Your Majesty is wise and powerful!"

In just a few breaths, the entire meeting hall of the Imperial Master's Mansion and even the surrounding area were filled with the voices of the crowd echoing.

The second elder breathed a sigh of relief again.

It seems that I have flattered the right person this time.

He became bolder and bowed to Xie Yutong, "I wonder if Your Excellency has come up with a good way to solve this long-standing problem?"

Xie Yutong hummed, and said casually: "I plan to accept this sacrifice from the Spirit Servant as my disciple."

She reached out and pulled Sang Jingwan over to the side, seemingly asking for everyone's opinions: "What do you think?"

Everyone:...

What do they think? What else can they say or do except loudly agree with others' ideas?
Didn’t you see that the great elder who had just strongly opposed was now lying there with no one paying any attention to him, not knowing whether he was dead or alive?
But it seemed a little too embarrassing to just agree to it.

Everyone remained silent as if they were thinking.

The second elder's eyes rolled and an idea instantly came to his mind.

He stood up and bowed loudly: "Where you fell, you got up there. Your Majesty is indeed wise and mighty! If our ancestors were still alive, they would surely be grateful for your righteousness and bravery, and would not be afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past!"

These words were clearly flattery, and left everyone speechless.

But now they have no choice but to agree.

After all, the Second Elder has already spoken. If they do not agree, they would be opposing the First Elder.

Everyone knows that the Great Elder is now lying there, not knowing whether he is dead or alive. If they oppose it at this time, isn't it clear that they want to follow in the Great Elder's footsteps?

Some people are also very annoyed about this.

Why didn’t they think of flattering him just now?

It was clear that Xie Yutong was asking about all of them just now!
As a result, this good opportunity was snatched away by that bastard Second Elder!

As expected, hesitation will lead to defeat!
Our ancestors never deceived me!
