Chapter 169: No one who wants to leave will be left behind

outside the room.

The disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect also learned that the leader was going to hand over the sect to an outsider.

For a moment, all the disciples had all kinds of ideas.

Someone couldn't help but say angrily:

"I don't mind whoever takes the position of the leader of the Red Fire Sword Sect, as long as they are from the sect."

"But why give it to an outsider? I don't accept it!"

But there are also people who seem to disagree with this statement.

I only heard someone retort:
"That's not true. The sect is seriously cut off from the old generation now. There isn't even a sixth-rank master left. No matter who inherits the sect, it will probably be difficult for them to achieve anything."

"And that Great and Good Master is highly skilled in martial arts, and is said to have reached the fifth rank. He also owns the Taiping Dao, which has many followers and a lot of money."

"If he were to lead the sect, he might be able to achieve even greater things."

"Master made this arrangement, probably with this in mind."

When the person who spoke first heard this, he immediately started arguing violently with the person who spoke next.

When the two of them started arguing, people on both sides who held the same opinion also started arguing with them.

The scene was chaotic and noisy, extremely chaotic.

At this time.

Jiang Lengxue finally spoke:

"Shut up, everyone!"

"Let the Sect Master have some peace and quiet in his final moments."

After all, Jiang Lengxue is the wife of the sect leader, and she holds a very important position in the sect.

As soon as she spoke, everyone stopped arguing.

But more people looked at her with expectation.

A disciple stood up and said:
"Please ask Master-wife to take over as the headmaster and continue to lead us!"

As this disciple spoke, more disciples came forward.

"Please ask Master's wife to take over as the headmaster!"

They shouted in unison.

In their opinion, after the master's death, the person who should succeed him as the headmaster is none other than Jiang Lengxue.

After all, Jiang Lengxue is at the fifth level, and her strength is enough to protect the sect.

however.

Jiang Lengxue just shook her head slightly:
"We all listen to the leader on this matter."

She sees herself very clearly.

Although she is skilled in martial arts, she lacks courage and ambition.

Over the past decade, she has been accustomed to following orders from the head of the sect and is not used to making her own decisions.

If she were asked to take charge of the sect's affairs, she knew she didn't have the talent.

Since Liang Jin was able to manage the huge Taiping Dao well, he must be familiar with managing the Chihuo Sword Sect as well.

From the long-term perspective of the sect, Jiang Lengxue was also willing to obey her husband Shao Hongbo's arrangements in this matter.

When the disciples who had spoken heard this, they couldn't help but reveal deep disappointment on their faces.

But there are also some people whose eyes are filled with ambition.

Since even the Sect Master's wife is unwilling to inherit the position of Sect Leader, they have a chance.

At this time.

The door of the room suddenly opened.

Liang Jin walked out from inside.

He looked at everyone and said:
"Master Shao... has passed away."

Hearing this, it was like a bolt from the blue that resounded throughout the audience.

After being stunned for a few seconds, all the disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect knelt down towards the room.

"Master!!!"

They knelt on the ground and cried out, their faces full of sorrow.

Jiang Lengxue couldn't help but reveal two lines of tears in her eyes.

She walked into the room alone and silently.

Liang Jin looked at the Red Fire Sword Sect disciples in front of him and said:
"Let's take care of the Sect Master's funeral first. We can discuss the sect's affairs after Sect Master Shao is buried."

however.

As Liang Jin finished speaking, several senior members of the Red Fire Sword Sect stood up.

They stared at Liang Jin and said in a deep voice:

"Great and virtuous teacher, we respect you as a person."

"But respect is respect, but we don't think you're fit to be the head of the Scarlet Flame Sword Sect."

"Please also hand over the seal of the headmaster and give up the position of headmaster yourself."

"From now on, you will be in charge of your Taiping Dao, and our Red Fire Sword Sect will still be your Taiping Dao's ally."

Liang Jin looked at these people and couldn't help but sneer.

Sure enough, power can drive people crazy.

Shao Hongbo just died, and his body is not even cold yet.

These people have actually started fighting for power and profit.

However, Liang Jin originally came here for the Red Fire Sword Sect, so how could he give up?

Liang Jin immediately replied:
"I won't hand over the seal."

"Master, I won't give up either."

"This is Master Shao's last wish. I will not let him down."

"Are you guys planning to disobey the Sect Leader's orders?"

The Red Fire Sword Sect's high-ranking officials hadn't expected Liang Jin to be so unyielding, leaving no room for compromise. This also caused anger to surface on their faces.

They immediately said:

"Great and Good Master, why do you cling so tightly to the position of Sect Leader?"

"If you do this, it will only make the disciples dissatisfied and alienate them. This will make it impossible for the sect to unite."

"It would be better if you gave up the position of the Sect Leader and became a guest elder in the sect."

"Don't worry, we will give you a share of the sect's annual income. We won't let you down."

Liang Jin had an indifferent expression.

Do these people think they can get rid of themselves by taking a guest elder and a little silver?
He immediately said:
"Didn't you hear clearly? Do you want me to say it again?"

"I am now the head of the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect!"

"No one can change it!"

Seeing that Liang Jin refused to budge, the senior executives couldn't help but look even angrier.

If they were not afraid of Liang Jin's strength, they would have taken action by now.

A senior executive accused:

"You are so stubborn, aren't you afraid that unconvinced disciples will leave the sect, causing it to fall apart?"

"If the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect splits again, Sect Leader Shao will never rest in peace even in his grave!"

When Liang Jin heard this, his eyes turned cold.

His aura emanated unscrupulously, forcing the senior executives to take three steps back, their faces turning pale.

They were all just seventh-grade warriors and could not withstand Liang Jin's pressure at all.

Liang Jin said coldly:
"Who do you think you are?"

"Master Shao has just passed away, and you're already using this to morally blackmail him by saying he can't rest in peace."

"If it weren't for me inheriting the position of the head of the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect, none of you would even be qualified to talk to me!"

As Liang Jin grew more angry, his aura became more terrifying.

Those high-ranking members of the sect retreated several steps again in an instant, and even found it difficult to breathe.

Liang Jin's gaze turned and slowly swept across all the disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect.

He said loudly:
"Before Master Shao died, he asked me to treat the disciples well."

"If anyone wants to leave the sect, I will not keep them, and I will also give them 500 taels of silver as travel expenses to return home."

"Remember this, this money is given for Master Shao's sake."

"Who wants to leave?"

"You can go to Taipingdao and find Zhang You to collect the money now!"

Liang Jin's voice resounded throughout the venue.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the sect looked at each other in surprise.

And those high-ranking members of the sects could not help but become entangled.

finally.

Still, two senior executives stood up and took the lead in leaving.

Some disciples also chose to leave with them.

They all knew that with Liang Jin's military strength and influence, if he was unwilling to give up the position of the head, no one could take it away.

Since we have already fallen out, it is better to leave completely.

Most people did not choose to go to Taipingdao to collect money. They wanted to leave in a free and easy manner.

Liang Jin was too lazy to pay attention to them.

After a group of people left, the remaining ones were those who were reluctant to leave the Red Fire Sword Sect.

Liang Jin looked at them and said:

"Okay, since you have chosen to stay, then you have recognized me as the leader."

"From today on, everyone's regular salary will be doubled!"

"And all the secret manuals in the sect, whether they are Xuan-level or Huang-level, are open to all disciples!"

"From now on, seniority will no longer be important within the sect, only ability will be."

"Whoever has the best martial arts skills will take the top position!"

"Whoever is just sitting there doing nothing will be fired!"

"If one day one of you becomes more skilled in martial arts than me, I will abdicate and let you take my place!"

What Liang Jin wanted was to break the original rules and order of the Red Fire Sword Sect.

He knew very well that there were still many people who were dissatisfied with him.

But he gives newcomers more opportunities and more channels for advancement, squeezing out the space for those old stubborn people.

As the original rules and order are destroyed, more people will become the beneficiaries of Liang Jin's new order and naturally become Liang Jin's supporters.

As for the ordinary martial arts of the Red Fire Sword Sect, he really looked down on them.

really.

Liang Jin's decision immediately caused many disciples to cheer.

Of course, the vast majority of those cheering were ordinary disciples.

Only those senior executives felt the pressure.

At this time.

Suddenly, I saw Lu Qiannan walking towards me in a hurry.

She came to Liang Jin and whispered:

"Great and virtuous teacher, someone wants to see you."

"That person was sent by the prefect Gao Yuan. We have confirmed his identity. He is waiting in the study."

"He said he had something extremely urgent to discuss with the Great Sage Master."
