"Who told you that we wouldnât interfere with each other?" Yu Qingge laughed, "To be honest, Ruxin has inherited the Tang Sect. In other words, the current leader of the Tang Sect is neither you nor my grandfather, but Ruxin."
Yang Ruxin had no choice but to take out the "Tang Sect Poison" secret book from her backpack and held it up. As for the Mother of Ten Thousand Gu within her body, she couldnât take it out, but there was a place in the Tang Sect where it could be verified.
Although some of the members of the Tang Sect had changed, most remained the same, especially since the Tang Sect had, in addition to the Sect Leader, five Great Elders: Elder Ming, Elder Wu, Elder Du, Elder Yi, and Elder Xuan.
These six Great Elders were of equal rank, always on equal footing.
Back when Tang Wanqian disappeared, Tang Kun gained the support of Elder Wu and Elder Du. With their assistance, they made the other four Elders tacitly acknowledge his status.
Actually, Elder Ming and Elder Xuan never believed that Tang Wanqian was dead, but as time passed, everyone had no choice but to accept it. However, Tang Kun was afraid they would discover something, so he secretly imprisoned the two, leaving Elder Yi to prioritize self-preservation.
But at this moment, when Tang Wanqian appeared, the first to be shocked were Elder Wu and Elder Du, who hurried over from the back hall.
"Elders, how have you been?" Tang Wanqian greeted them happily.
"Sect..." the two began to say.
"Elder Wu, Elder Du," Tang Kun interrupted, with a tone of warning, "Donât forget, it was you who supported me to the position of Sect Leader. If you acknowledge his identity now, you two will first face punishment according to the sectâs rules..."
Elder Wu and Elder Du couldnât help shivering and then sobered up, their expressions quite unpleasant.
"Heh." Tang Wanqian couldnât help but laugh, filled with sarcasm and disappointment.
"As Elders of the Tang Sect, you donât even recognize the sectâs secret book?" Yang Ruxin coldly sneered, "It seems that the identities of these two elders are also questionable."
"How do we know if youâre real or fake?" Elder Du coughed.
"It can be verified." Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Mother of Ten Thousand Gu canât be fake. Itâs with me now. Why donât you try and see for yourselves?"
Elder Du and Elder Wu exchanged a glance but didnât dare to reply.
"Greetings to the former Sect Leader." At this moment, someone rushed forward and knelt in front of Tang Wanqian, "Youâre back."
Everyone was taken aback; it was actually Elder Yi.
"Elder Yi, youâre courting death!" Tang Kunâs face twisted with rage,
Elder Wu immediately reached out toward Elder Yi.
Elder Yi quickly rose to defend himself, but unfortunately, Elder Wuâs martial arts skills were the highest among the elders, so within just a few moves, Elder Yi was left only able to defend himself, and he even got injured.
Just as Elder Wu was about to land a lethal blow on Elder Yi, someone rushed in and intercepted Elder Wuâs strike.
Elder Wu was shaken back two steps.
"Tiankui, as a Tang Sect Elder, you still aid and abet the wrongdoer? Do you think youâre worthy of the Tang Sectâs ancestors?" Tang Wanqian withdrew his hand and stood there, "Donât forget, you swore to Shushan back then to swear absolute loyalty to the Tang Sect, and if violated, youâd be struck by lightning."
