Chapter 148: Zhang Minzhou Retires
Just when Wu Chengtai made his decision, Zhang Minzhou suddenly stood up from his seat and said to Wu Chengtai: "Sect Master, please think again."
"Huh?" Wu Chengtai listened to Zhang Minzhou's words and immediately cast his eyes on Zhang Minzhou. At this time, Wu Chengtai frowned slightly. Obviously she did not expect that Zhang Minzhou would raise objections at this time. In fact, it was not just Wu Chengtai, but also the main hall.
Everyone inside also turned their attention to Zhang Minzhou.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Zhang Minzhou looked calm on his face.
At this moment, a middle-aged devil walked out of the crowd, looked at Zhang Minzhou and said, "Elder Zhang, what do you mean? Do you disagree with the sect leader?"
Zhang Minzhou turned around, looked at the middle-aged Taoist, smiled contemptuously and said, "Are you qualified to speak here?"
After Zhang Minzhou's words fell, there was an uproar in the main hall, with jeers and laughter everywhere. It was obvious that everyone agreed with Zhang Minzhou's words. As for this middle-aged demon, everyone looked down upon him, he was just a loser who could only flatter others.
Listening to Zhang Minzhou's words, especially the jeers of the people in the main hall, the middle-aged devil's face suddenly turned red with shame, but he did not dare to refute Zhang Minzhou's words, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it, which was quite suffocating.
It's so uncomfortable.
"Step back!" Just when the middle-aged devil was about to say something, Wu Chengtai's voice sounded, and Wu Chengtai waved his hand slightly towards the middle-aged devil, asking him to step back.
After the middle-aged devil retreated, Wu Chengtai looked straight at Zhang Minzhou, with a strong look of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. He only heard him say to Zhang Minzhou: "What's the matter, Elder Zhang, do you have anything?"
Different opinions?”
Of course, Zhang Minzhou also saw the deep dissatisfaction in Wu Chengtai's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. However, he was a mature man after all, so this sad feeling only existed for a while before Zhang Minzhou suppressed it.
"Yes, Sect Leader, in my opinion, it's better to check things out clearly. I always feel that things are not that simple, I'm afraid..." After adjusting his mood, Zhang Minzhou expressed his worries to Wu Chengtai.
But before Zhang Minzhou could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Wu Chengtai: "Okay, I have made up my mind about this matter, so you should stop talking about it. This matter is of great benefit to our sect.
And if it’s a harmless thing, Elder Zhang won’t have to inflate other people’s ambitions and destroy his own prestige.”
Zhang Minzhou listened to Wu Chengtai's words and said anxiously: "Master, please think twice."
"Okay!" Wu Chengtai suddenly became angry when he heard Zhang Minzhou still chattering. At this time, Wu Chengtai's face was red, his eyes were burning with anger, and he looked straight at Zhang Minzhou and said word by word:
"I have already said it, and my mind has been made up."
"But the sect leader..." Zhang Minzhou still didn't give up.
Wu Chengtai waved his hand heavily, stood up from his seat, and said angrily to Zhang Minzhou: "Are you the sect leader or am I the sect leader? If you want to make noise like this, don't blame me for ignoring past feelings.
"
As soon as Wu Chengtai said these words, the main hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone could barely breathe. Judging from Wu Chengtai's expression, it was obvious that he planned to break up with Zhang Minzhou.
Zhang Minzhou didn't expect that Wu Chengtai would say this, and he didn't give himself a chance to say anything, and he planned to break up with him. He felt helpless in his heart. It seemed that Wu Chengtai really regarded him as a thorn in his side.
Thinking of this, Zhang Minzhou looked up at Wu Chengtai who was standing in front of the throne with complicated eyes, and finally sighed slightly: "Since the sect master has made the decision, I will stop talking. However, I am old and lack energy.
My knowledge is limited, so I’m afraid I can no longer hold the position of great elder. I would also like to ask the sect leader to agree to my retirement and practice on the cliff.”
As soon as Zhang Minzhou finished speaking, the originally calm main hall suddenly erupted into a louder noise, and many demons spoke to Zhang Minzhou.
"Great Elder, think twice."
"Great Elder, no."
"Great Elder, the Dark Nether Sect cannot live without you."
…
Listening to everyone's words, Zhang Minzhou was not moved at all. He just looked at Wu Chengtai with a sincere face, waiting for Wu Chengtai's reply.
Wu Chengtai glanced at Zhang Minzhou, who was looking at him sincerely, and then at most of the senior officials of the Anyou Sect who were making a noise. These were all from Zhang Minzhou's side.
Are you forcing me to go to the palace? You underestimate me, Wu Chengtai. Since you want to retire, I will help you. Thinking of this, Wu Chengtai waved his hand towards the main hall to calm them down.
As Wu Chengtai waved his hand, the main hall suddenly became quiet. At this time, Wu Chengtai spoke, and Wu Chengtai said to Zhang Minzhou: "Since Elder Zhang intends to retire, how can I not follow your wish?"
, this sect will remember your contribution to our sect."
With that said, Wu Chengtai announced to everyone in the main hall: "After Elder Zhang retires, his salary will not be reduced, and he will be rewarded with twenty spiritual stones every year to help Elder Zhang practice."
"ah?"
No one in the main hall expected that Wu Chengtai would make such an announcement and remove Zhang Minzhou from the position of great elder.
Hearing that Zhang Minzhou was removed, everyone had different attitudes. People on Wu Chengtai's side must have been happy, imagining that the vacant position of great elder would fall on their heads, while people on Zhang Minzhou's side became trembling with fear.
When Wu Chengtai settles his scores after the fall, of course there are a small number of people who are unhappy with Zhang Minzhou, but these people are only a minority after all.
After hearing Wu Chengtai's decision, the person involved, Zhang Minzhou, looked calm, but the faint bitterness in his eyes showed that his heart was obviously not as calm as it seemed.
However, this bitter feeling only lasted for a moment. Zhang Minzhou bowed slightly to Wu Chengtai and said, "Thank you, Master, for your support." After saying that, Zhang Minzhou walked out of the main hall.
Just when Zhang Minzhou had just walked out of the main hall, five demons suddenly stood out from the crowd and said to Wu Chengtai: "I am going to serve the master. I am afraid that you will be able to hold positions within the sect in the future.
I also ask the sect leader to fulfill my wish."
Wu Chengtai, who had solved a serious problem in his heart, was filled with joy. The request from Zhang Minzhou's disciples was something he couldn't ask for, so he approved several of them with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
The five people said in unison, and after speaking, they turned and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
Zhang Minzhou came out of the main hall and looked at everything in the Anyou Sect. He felt that things were different and people were different. After all, this was his hard work for hundreds of years. At the same time, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
I don’t know if Wu Chengtai made the right move.
"Hey!" Zhang Minzhou suddenly sighed in a low voice, and then laughed dumbly. The best will inevitably decline. This may not be a bad thing. Forget it, all this has nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it, Zhang Minzhou suddenly raised his head and glanced at the blood-red dim sky, murmuring to himself: "Old sect leader, I can be considered as repaying you for your kindness in surviving..."
"Master!"
"Master!"
While Zhang Minzhou was mumbling to himself, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Zhang Minzhou turned around and saw that they were the five disciples he had accepted. A smile of relief suddenly appeared on his lips. Finally, the master-disciple relationship was not wasted.
, at least there are people who give themselves a level.
Thinking of this, Zhang Minzhou said to the five people: "I was alone when I came here. I didn't expect that five of you would come to see me off before I left. At last, I didn't spend hundreds of years in this Anyou Sect in vain." Zhang Minzhou smiled slightly.
sighed.
After sighing, Zhang Minzhou waved to the five people and said, "Okay, you can go back."
The five people who were chased out were Zhang Minzhou's disciples, the five demons who had just asked Wu Chengtai to resign from their posts in the main hall.
Among these five demons, there were four middle-aged demons and only one young demon. This young demon smiled at Zhang Minzhou and said: "This disciple and four senior brothers also resigned from their posts in the sect and ran away.
I came to seek refuge with Master, but I forgot that Master took me under my wing."
Zhang Minzhou felt both pleased and regretful after listening to the words of this young devil. He was gratified that his five apprentices had not been in vain and were still thinking about him. Unfortunately, as soon as his five apprentices left,
From then on, the Dark Nether Sect no longer had any trace of itself.
"Hey, that's all!" After a while, Zhang Minzhou sighed slightly and said to the five demons: "Since you can still remember me, Master, how can Master drive you away? Let's go,
How can you know that a blessing in disguise is a blessing?"
Zhang Minzhou said to the five people: "Let's go!" After saying that, Zhang Minzhou walked forward first, and the five people quickly followed.
————
Let’s not mention the six masters and disciples of Zhang Minzhou for the time being. Let’s just talk about Wu Chengtai in the main hall. At this time, Wu Chengtai felt that he had never felt happier in his heart. This feeling could only be compared to the mood when he first ascended to the position of sect leader.
.
After solving a serious problem in his heart, Wu Chengtai finally felt that he was the right one in the Dark Sect.
Zhang Minzhou and his disciples left a total of six important positions. Except for the position of the great elder, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, the other positions can also be regarded as high positions of power.
At this time, the people in the main hall had two completely different expressions. The people on one side were gearing up and excited, while the people on the other side looked pale and uneasy, fearing that Wu Chengtai would do it himself and become the second Zhang Minzhou.
.
"Cough!" Wu Chengtai pretended to cough, attracting everyone's attention to himself. At this time, six positions were vacant, which he could use to win people's hearts. As for the rest of the demons who had defected to Zhang Minzhou,
Wu Chengtai didn't intend to move, because Wu Chengtai knew at this time that they should know how to choose.
Chapter completed!
