The Path of Evolution

The other people looked at the door of the secret room and immediately knew what was going on.

These people present are all powerful people with rich experience, and they can see through the crime scene at a glance.

Regardless of whether Baili Xuanji and the third elder had the intention to attack the leader, one thing was certain that the two men broke into the secret room without the permission of the leader.

"That's unreasonable!" The great elder was furious, and he was trying to make use of the topic: "Third Elder, Deacon Xuanji, the Chief Protector ordered you two to take good care of the leader. I didn't expect that instead of fulfilling your duties, you two would instead commit crimes and try to murder the leader. Our demon clan cannot tolerate such traitors!"

"Please be patient for a moment." Baili Xuanji stood up and said: "To the great elder, there has been no life in the secret room in recent days. The two of us were worried that the leader had gone crazy, so we boldly went in to check, and there was no foul play. The leader’s intention!”

The third elder quickly echoed: "What Deacon Xuanji said is absolutely true. Just because the Chief Protector told me that we must protect the leader, we sensed that the situation in the secret room was not good and immediately broke in. This move was only out of concern for the leader. I am safe and have no ill intentions. My loyalty to the leader can be learned from heaven and earth!"

However, the First Elder did not give him any face, and his attitude was to make the matter bigger: "You keep saying that the situation in the secret room is not good, why didn't you report it to me and the Second Elder in advance? You are so good at making opinions, and the following is wrong, and you treat the canon as child's play. I, How can I tolerate you!"

"First Elder, calm down." A skinny old man in sixties stood up, it was the usually unsmiling second elder: "The mystery of this matter was reported to me this morning. It was my fault that I was busy with chores and had not had time to tell the First Elder. "

As soon as the second elder spoke, the whole scene suddenly changed.

"Since the second elder knew about this, it was a misunderstanding." The fourth protector began to speak.

"Haha, of course it's a misunderstanding. The third elder Bingxue is smart, and the deacon Xuanji is also extremely intelligent. Both of them are loyal to our sect. It is a big joke to murder the leader of our sect in the main forum of our sect." The fifth guardian also stood up. People who support your own camp.

The Fifth Protector has made it very straightforward. To assassinate the leader of the Demon Cult at the headquarters is something only a fool would do. Even if Baili Xuanji and the Third Elder wanted to attack the descendant of the Demon Emperor, they couldn't do it in such a sensitive place.

The atmosphere outside the secret room became very subtle.

The group of people who were loyal to the Chief Protector invisibly conveyed this subtext: the leader deliberately blocked the aura, lured Baili Xuanji and the third elder to break in, and then poured dirty water on the two of them with unwarranted charges. …

In fact, the Great Elder's group of people also thought so. They didn't think Baili Xuanji was stupid enough to assassinate the leader in the main altar. The great elder's indignation just now was just to suppress his opponent's arrogance and express his attitude to make the leader feel at ease.

In the final analysis, the power of life and death within the Demon Sect is not in the hands of the Great Elder.

Even if Baili Xuanji really assassinates the leader, the Great Elder's authority can only take him down and imprison him. The only person who truly determines the life and death of Baili Xuanji is the supreme protector. This is the power of the Nine-Star Supreme.

Despite this, the farce caused by the descendant of the Demon Emperor today still made the Great Elder, the Third Protector, and the Sixth Protector feel happy.

For the first time since returning to the Demon Cult Headquarters, the leader made his voice heard.

There are various signs that this leader is not willing to be a puppet.

"It is a big deal for the leader to retreat into seclusion. What kind of behavior would you have if you barged in without being informed?" The third protector stood up and expressed his attitude.

"That's true. You two ignored the majesty of the leader, broke into the forbidden area, and disturbed the leader's retreat. If everyone did this, wouldn't the religious rules become child's play." The Sixth Guardian immediately stepped in from behind.

"That's right, even if you two had good intentions, you did bad things. You disturbed the leader of the retreat, which is your fault." The second elder was very fresh and refined, and actually agreed with the views of the third and sixth guardians, and then He raised his hands to the descendant of the Demon Emperor and said: "Cult Leader, you are the master of this sect. The mistakes committed by the three elders and Deacon Xuanji should be decided by you!"

This move turns retreat into advance, virtually conquering an army.

The current leader of a certain cult is just a mere commander with no real power at all. It is simply impossible to deal with the top leaders of the demon sect.

The Great Elder and the Third and Sixth Protector both understood the Second Elder's intention, but did not say anything. They all wanted to see how the leader would react in this situation. In other words, is this leader actually capable and worthy of their following?

The white-haired birdman enjoyed the performances of the two waves of people throughout the whole process, and had a general understanding of the situation within the Demon Cult.

"Ahem..." The descendant of the Demon Emperor coughed, and under the gaze of everyone, he said loudly: "Fortunately, I was not injured. Whether the third elder and Deacon Xuanji are innocent, please investigate clearly. As for how to deal with it. They are still relatively inexperienced, so it is better to wait until the Chief Protector returns and ask him for advice before making a decision."

Everyone could tell that the leader had given in and wanted to turn a big deal into a trivial one.

The Third Protector and the Sixth Protector were extremely disappointed, and they even hoped that the leader would jump out and confront him.

The reaction of the great elder was different from that of the two protectors. If the leader confronts him at this time, it will only make the relationship too tense, and he will definitely be restrained everywhere in the future.

"There is one more thing that I want to discuss with you." The white-haired birdman suddenly made a turn: "Today, I have reached a critical period in my cultivation. I had hoped to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level. Who knows? The Protector and the Deacon Xuanji broke in, causing my blood to flow backwards, and all my efforts fell short. The one hundred high-grade spiritual jade that the Chief Protector gave me originally has been exhausted. Since you are all here today, can you give me another hundred high-grade spiritual jade?"

The second elder's eyes darkened, and he wanted to scold his mother. He thought to himself, you have only been in seclusion for more than a month, do you need so many high-grade spiritual jade?

The great elder was so elated that he almost couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The demons have always respected the strong, and the strong have to rely on resources. High-grade spiritual jade is precisely the cultivation resource that the strong value the most. If the leader can get a hundred high-grade spiritual jade through such a farce, it will undoubtedly be a bloody profit.

The leader had something to say first. He was interrupted from practicing by the third elder and Baili Xuanji, which resulted in his failure. It would be unreasonable if the people on the side of the General Protector didn't show some signs. The second elder exchanged glances with several guardians, and stood up to express his position: "Normally, the leader of our religion should fully support his cultivation. However, the resources of our religion have been tight recently, and high-grade spiritual jade is even more scarce. It is better to give the leader fifty high-grade spiritual jade first. How about it? When the Chief Protector returns, more resources will be provided."

The descendant of the Demon Emperor cast a questioning look at the great elder, meaning: Is what this thing said reliable?

The great elder smiled while twirling his beard and nodded casually.

The white-haired birdman immediately knew what he was doing and reluctantly said, "In that case, I won't embarrass the second elder anymore. Let me give you fifty high-grade spiritual jade first."

At the moment when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the descendant of the Demon Emperor added: "Third Elder, Deacon Xuanji. I fell short this time, and it is the fault of you two. Because of your kindness, I also I don’t have the heart to punish you severely, but small punishments and big warnings are still necessary.”

It was inconvenient for the two of them to contradict the leader at this time, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I will let the leader do whatever he wants."

"Very good, I appreciate your attitude of admitting your mistakes." The leader gave a little sunshine and the lion immediately opened his mouth: "You two must have accumulated a lot of cultivation resources over the years. Well, you guys are a little more considerate. Three Elder, you can personally give me twenty high-grade spiritual jades as compensation. Deacon Xuanji, as a beloved disciple of the Chief Protector, you have no shortage of resources, so you can also give me twenty high-grade spiritual jade. Well, that’s it, you two. You should have no objections, right?"
